Democrats turning California into a third-world hellhole: Going without electricity edition
Democrats are turning California into a third-world hellhole without electricity, water, and freedom.
Due to Democrats' love for trees, at least 800,000 Californians will be without power for several days. Instead of properly managing California forests to reduce the chances of big fires, Democrats are saying Californians have to go without lights, refrigerators, and air-conditioning. Democrats could also avoid this by not making the power company financially liable for all forest fire damages, but since PG&E is a company, not an illegal alien, the Democrats couldn't care less about doing what's best for California.
While they try to blame climate change and the infrastructure, the reality is that neither of those has caused any significant changes in the last ten years — but now, suddenly, due to Democrat policies, Californians have to start living in the 18th century.
The Democrats who run California also refuse to build more water storage capacity even though the state's population has dramatically increased, ensuring that water has to be rationed during droughts.
Democrats are turning California into a third-world country economically. The income inequality between the über-rich Silicon Valley workers and the rest of Californians is huge, just like in third-world countries, while the elites live in luxury and the rest live in squalor.
Democrats are doing a great job manufacturing poverty and homelessness even as they fail to instill hope in Californians.
California has four times more homeless per capita and three times more poor per capita than the rest of America. Half the homeless in America are in California, even though California has only 12% of the U.S. population. Also, blacks are six times more prevalent in the San Francisco homeless population than they are in California in general.
The homeless explosion has brought the return of third-world diseases like typhus to California — not to mention streets littered with human feces.
Democrats are trying to keep people from having cars, just like the people of the Third World. After all, a car gives people the freedom to move, and freedom is a bad thing in the minds of Democrats since it limits the power the government has over citizens.
Recently, Gavin Newsom, the Democrat governor, transferred millions of dollars that the voters had been ensured would go to improve the state's failing road infrastructure to a fund designed to convince Californians to give up their cars.
Democrats are also working to make cars unaffordable for any but the richest Californians.
Californians pay $1.53 more for a gallon for gasoline than the rest of America. That's $21 more for a tank of gasoline. Facebook employees won't notice it, but the poor in California who can't afford to live near their jobs are paying through the teeth.
Like all third-world tyrants, Democrats are doing everything they can to eliminate democracy in California.
The jungle primary, where the top two candidates in the primaries go against each other, has resulted in many races where two Democrats are running against each other, giving voters who don't agree with the Democrats' failed policies no one to vote for.
California is doing nothing to ensure that people who shouldn't vote don't vote. Instead, the people running the state are doing everything possible to let illegal aliens vote. When illegal aliens go pick up their driver's licenses, they're automatically enrolled to vote unless they say they're not citizens.
California is also trying to end democracy by keeping the Republican presidential candidate off the ballot. Democrats passed an unconstitutional law to keep any candidate who didn't release his tax returns off the ballot solely to keep Californians from voting for Trump.
Finally, the Democrats are going after freedom of the press. An undercover journalist revealed that Planned Parenthood was selling aborted baby parts. Instead of investigating that illegal practice, Democrat Kamala Harris decided to put the journalist on trial.
Democrats keep telling us California is the future if they get elected. That means that poverty, homelessness, the end of democracy, and a press that reports only what Democrats want heard are what Democrats are promising us.
If you're an immensely wealthy Google employee, California is Heaven. If you're not, it's becoming more and more like Hell.

Cali Governor Newsom Continues to Thwart Immigration Law Enforcement
Cali Governor Newsom Continues to Thwart Immigration Law Enforcement
Putting the welfare of criminal immigrants before the welfare of California citizens.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, who presides over the nation’s leading sanctuary state, decided last week that pardoning three immigrant felons to help shield them from being deported was more important than keeping the citizens of his state secure. One of the recipients of Newsom’s misplaced compassion was 42-year old Arnou Aghamalian from Iran. Aghamalian, a refugee in this country since the age of 15, was convicted at the age of 22 of helping to set fire to a car. The damage he did was most likely not as easily made to disappear as was his criminal record, thanks to Newsom. Then there was Thear Seam from Cambodia, a refugee admitted to the U.S at the age of 4 who managed in his late teens to be convicted of two felonies - second-degree robbery and acting as an accessory after the fact by helping someone evade police arrest. Finally, Newsom pardoned Victor Ayala from El Salvador. Ayala was only 2 years old when he was admitted legally to the U.S. He showed his gratitude by being convicted at the age of 21 for felony robbery after having been previously convicted for misdemeanor theft and hit-and-run. Newsom’s office claimed that the pardons were issued in part to “prevent unjust collateral consequences of conviction.” That’s doubletalk for saying the immigrants' pardons were issued to remove one ground for their possible deportations – serious criminal records.
“They are now trusted employees, husbands, fathers to young children and sons to aging parents,’’ the governor’s office said in justification for the pardon grants. “Their deportation would be an unjust collateral consequence that would harm their families and communities.” In other words, just make their criminal records disappear and all will be fine for these poor souls, who years ago had “made bad decisions and broke the law” but “served their sentences and turned their lives around.”
Newsom does not care about the welfare of the law-abiding residents of Californian communities. If he did, he would not pardon immigrants who committed felonies so that he can wipe their slates clean before a criminal record could be used by federal authorities for deportation purposes. His administration is acting contrary to the interests of Californians and defying federal law by incentivizing more illegal immigrants to seek sanctuary in California, hiding their identities from federal enforcement officers by blocking access for immigration enforcement purposes to the state’s public safety network, the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System, not honoring detainer requests, and handing out freebies to illegal aliens like candy..
Evidently, Newsom did not get the message that Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson sent him last month in the form of a letter rejecting Newsom’s plea for federal aid in dealing with California’s homelessness problem until California mends its ways. As Secretary Carson pointed out, “Instead of protecting the most vulnerable Americans from the economic impacts of illegal immigration, California has doubled down on sanctuary State and city policies and provided benefits to illegal and inadmissible aliens. These policies strain precious resources and reduce housing options for American citizens, especially the needy and those most likely to become homeless.”
Newsom is doubling down on his policies that have led some to seek his recall. On October 12th, for example, he tweeted that California “is officially banning the use of private, for-profit prisons and immigration detention facilities.” Where is he going to send the detainees – to live on the streets along with the homeless? This is especially concerning, considering the governor tweeted last month that America should “open our doors to all seeking refuge.” And there is, of course, Newsom’s continued advocacy of California’s sanctuary policies for illegal aliens. Ironically, on October 13th he bragged that California was the first state to ban fur products as part of the fight against animal cruelty, while remaining entirely oblivious to the human cruelty of allowing illegal aliens with violent criminal records to live in California communities and threaten the lives of law-abiding residents.
California is turning into a renegade state that seeks to nullify federal law, much as the South attempted to do before the Civil War. President Trump is right in challenging such nullification actions whenever he can.

President
Donald Trump questioned House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s dubious participation in
stock market initial public offering shares, enriching her family.
The
president shared a clip Monday highlighting a CBS 60 Minutes report
featuring author and Breitbart senior contributor Peter Schweizer’s investigation into
Pelosi and her husband participating in at least eight different stock IPOs
while in Congress.
"The House gone rogue! I want to remind you a little
bit about the ring leader in this whole rogue operation against the President
of the United States..." @MarkLevinShow
60 Minutes reporter Steve Kroft confronted Pelosi
on the topic in 2011, but
she denied any impropriety.
The
report noted that Pelosi and her husband participated in an initial public
offering of Visa in 2008, while credit card regulation was underway in the
House of Representatives. The Pelosis bought 5,000 shares at the initial
price of $44 and shares were trading at $64 just two days later, according to
the report.
“Congress
has never done more for consumers nor has the Congress passed more critical
reforms of the credit card industry than under the Speakership of Nancy
Pelosi,” Pelosi spokesman, Drew Hammill, said in a statement, according to CNN after the 60 Minutes report aired.
The clip was
featured on Mark Levin’s Fox News show Life,
Liberty and Levin on Sunday.
Turns
out Biden's family not the only one to benefit from Ukrainian fossil fuels
On Sept. 24, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the official impeachment
inquiry that would be led by the Intelligence Committee and Rep.
Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). At first, this was a curious decision to
objective persons, since the Judiciary Committee has the authority over this
type of procedure. At the time, Pelosi indicated a threat by
President Donald Trump to our national security during the July 25 conversation
between him and President Zelensky of Ukraine. She did this without
the benefit of the transcript, but she doubtless already knew much of the CIA
"whistleblower's" complaint. Further, the Ukrainian president
disputes her version.
But this is not the rationale for her haste to convene the
investigation. It appears that the D.C. swamp benefits another
powerful family. The Biden family has gotten special treatment
from Ukrainian oil interests, and the Pelosi family has a similar
advantage. Paul Pelosi, Jr. was a board member of Viscoil and an
executive at its related company NRGLab, which was involved in energy business
in Ukraine. Perhaps the use of the Intelligence Committee has given
the Democrats the opportunity to limit Republican questioning and maintain
secrecy over the responses from subpoenaed witnesses. This would
prevent any official record implicating Pelosi's son. This also
explains her reluctance to take a vote authorizing the investigation, since the
minority party would gain some rights.
This is interesting also since much of the Democratic Party
rejects carbon-based energy sources. Biden has made this a part of
his campaign. The Green New Deal proposals will eventually end
dependency on oil and gas as an energy source. But this does not
stop these politicos from benefiting financially from this sector of the
economy. This reminds one of the financial benefits that Al Gore's
father had from Occidental Petroleum, which was one of the great polluters
(remember Love Canal?). He chose to make money selling carbon
offsets to atone and make his own name.
The Ukrainian oil company Burisma used
many well connected members of the D.C. establishment connected to the Obama
administration. This interlocking swamp is a threat to the
USA. But the media have managed to convince a vast number of
Americans that Trump is the threat. When Trump railed against Pelosi
in Louisiana on Friday, he was accusing her of not just splitting the nation
politically, but also ignoring the financial benefits to powerful families at
the detriment of our national security. This also helps explain the
constant discussion in public about Biden's son Hunter, in addition to the
political advantage he might gain.
No wonder the establishment (including many Republicans) wants to
impeach Trump. Family security always "trumps" national
security in the D.C. swamp.
NANCY PELOSI GOT RICH OFF ELECTED OFFICE AND SERVICING THE
“CHEAP” LABOR LOBBIES - Jim Gilchrist asked the question about Nancy Pelosi’s
ethics that should be on the minds of every law-abiding American – including
those immigrants who are following the law to become citizens here the proper
way: “Do we really need a House Speaker whose every action is calculated to
enhance her own financial interests, instead of focusing on how porous borders
will affect the security of everyday American citizens?”

Gilchrist was reacting to my report several weeks ago in
FrontPage Magazine that Pelosi – who owns non-union vineyards in Napa Valley
where grape-picking depends chiefly on the availability of cheap foreign labor
– is doing everything she can to help open the floodgates to more illegal
immigration. And she wants the American taxpayers to pay their way. As even more
proof of this
than I previously reported, Pelosi
does not want employers like her to be required to pay the cost of illegal
aliens’ hospital care. She voted against a bill that would make
employers liable for the reimbursements if an undocumented employee seeks medical
attention. And she voted in favor of rewarding illegal aliens from Mexico with
Social Security benefits.
Pelosi's Stake in Illegal
Immigration
________________________________________
The Minuteman Project, founded by Jim Gilchrist (who is also the
co-author of the book Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America’s Borders), is
made up of citizen volunteers who watch our border with Mexico and report
illegal entry to the border patrol. For performing that thankless task in full
compliance with the law, Gilchrist and his colleagues have been falsely
maligned as fascists, racists, and even murderers. They have been driven off
the speaker’s platform at Columbia University and vilified by Leftist
politicians and their handmaidens in the liberal press.
So it was no surprise that the mainstream media chose to ignore
a recent press release, issued by his publisher, in which Gilchrist asked the
question about Nancy Pelosi’s ethics that should be on the minds of every
law-abiding American – including those immigrants who are following the law to
become citizens here the proper way: “Do we really need a House Speaker whose
every action is calculated to enhance her own financial interests, instead of
focusing on how porous borders will affect the security of everyday American
citizens?”
Gilchrist did not stop there. He demanded an investigation into
Pelosi’s “economic stake in just the kind of illegal alien exploitation that we
deplore in Minutemen.” But you would never know it from the liberal media, who
- while ignoring this demand - have had no compunctions in calling for Speaker
Hastert’s head in the wake of the Foley page controversy.
Gilchrist was reacting to my report several weeks ago in
FrontPage Magazine that Pelosi – who owns non-union vineyards in Napa Valley
where grape-picking depends chiefly on the availability of cheap foreign labor
– is doing everything she can to help open the floodgates to more illegal
immigration. And she wants the American taxpayers to pay their way. As even
more proof of this than I previously reported, Pelosi does not want employers
like her to be required to pay the cost of illegal aliens’ hospital care. She
voted against a bill that would make employers liable for the reimbursements if
an undocumented employee seeks medical attention. And she voted in favor of
rewarding illegal aliens from Mexico with Social Security benefits.
At the same time, Pelosi has led the Democratic opposition to
any effective border controls or documentation requirements. She opposed the
Secure Fence Act of 2006, signed into law by President Bush, and voted against
final passage of a border security and enforcement bill in 2005 which required
that all businesses must use an electronic system to check if all new hires
have the legal right to work in this country. She voted against a bill to bar
drivers' licenses for illegal aliens in 2005. This year she opposed legislation
requiring presentation of a legitimate government-issued photo ID to prove
eligibility to vote, claiming that “there is little evidence anywhere in the
country of a significant problem with non-citizen voters.” She is dead wrong.
For example, an accused terrorist by the name of Nuradin Abdi was just recently
reported to have illegally registered to vote at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
Nuradin Abdi was indicted earlier this year as part of a conspiracy to blow up
the Columbus Mall.
How many other terrorist suspects may have slipped through the
system because Leftists like Pelosi oppose any meaningful screens? Instead she continues
to advocate our recognition of the flimsy, non-validated ID card that the
Mexican consulates provide to illegal aliens before they cross over our border,
called the “matricula consular”, which gives them phony documentation to set up
bank accounts, apply for jobs, obtain social benefits, board airplanes,
identify themselves to police, enter buildings that require IDs, obtain
drivers’ licenses and then perhaps use those drivers’ licenses to try to
illegally register to vote in our elections.
Pelosi also believes in giving sanctuary to illegal aliens. She
opposed legislation to deny federal homeland security funding to state and
local governments who refuse to share information they learn about an
individual's immigration status with Federal immigration authorities. Pelosi’s
hometown of San Francisco is one of the sanctuary cities she voted to protect
for the benefit of illegal aliens. Pelosi even voted against strengthening our
immigration law with regard to the deportability of alien terrorists.
Jim Gilchrist cut to the chase with this devastating observation
that the mainstream media does not want you to read:
"As we’ve shown again and again in ‘Minutemen,’ the
Democrats aren’t just hypocrites, but are working actively to subvert our
legislative system to their own ends. Their only goal is votes, votes and more
votes, no matter where they come from, no matter if they’re cast legally, no
matter whether the person casting them is dead, alive, a citizen or an illegal
alien."
Pelosi sees Jim Gilchrist’s Minutemen Project as a threat to her
pro-illegal alien agenda. More illegal aliens mean more votes for the Democrats
and more grape-pickers for Napa Valley vineyards like hers. So she even voted
against a measure that would have cut off the use of U.S. taxpayers’ funds to
tip off illegal aliens as to where the Minutemen citizen patrols may be
located! She obviously wants to see the Minutemen put out of business –
permanently. She can count on the liberal press to distort the work of the
Minutemen and to keep out of the public eye Gilchrist’s pointed questions about
her motivations for helping illegal aliens during the run-up to the mid-term
elections that may make her the next Speaker of the House.
Gilchrist, of course, is accustomed to being vilified and
prevented by the Left from getting his message out. In early October, he was
prevented from finishing his speech at the "Minutemen Forum"
sponsored by the Columbia College Republicans. Gilchrist had spoken for just a
few minutes and managed to utter the words “I love the First Amendment” when a
group of radical protestors took the stage and interrupted him, displaying a
big banner saying "There are no illegals." More protestors then
stormed the stage. Chaos erupted and the audience members who had come to hear
Gilchrist speak never got the chance, which was precisely the protestors’
objective. As reported online by the staff of Columbia’s undergraduate
newspaper, “a mosh pit of triumphal students and community members danced and
chanted outside, "Asian, Black, Brown and White, we smashed the Minutemen
tonight!" They also put out a statement declaring:
“The Minutemen are not a legitimate voice in the debate on
immigration. They are a racist, armed militia who have declared open hunting
season on immigrants, causing countless hate crimes and over 3000 deaths on the
border. Why should exploitative corporations have free passes between nations,
but individual people not? No human being is illegal.” (Emphasis added)
We have come to the point in this country where a bunch of
radical protestors get to decide who is and who is not a legitimate voice in
the debate on as critical a public policy issue as immigration. Such Leftists
think that migration in a borderless world is a basic human right. They want no
barriers, no guards, and no proof of lawful residency. They certainly do not
want the Minutemen watching the border and reporting illegal entry to the
authorities.
Leftist slogans like “no human being is illegal” are red
herrings. It is not the human being who is illegal; it is what the human being
does that may be illegal. One’s conduct is the test, not simply who one is.
Immigrants who follow our rules are welcome here. Those who do not abide by our
laws have no right to be here. A person who breaks into your house without your
permission does not deserve room, board and a job as a reward, even if the
intruder may be much poorer than you. He has broken the law and deserves to be
punished for what he has done. Our country’s boundaries and rules for entry and
residency similarly define who is permitted to be here and how we choose to
protect ourselves. We are a land of immigrants, but we are also a land of laws
with certain core values. Those seeking to enter our country and remain here
must learn to accommodate to our laws and values, not the other way around.
That is the way prior generations of immigrants did it, including those who
passed through Ellis Island. Why should the law be thrown aside now?
What we are witnessing is a frontal challenge to our nation’s
sovereignty. Mexico’s Foreign Secretary wants to drag us before the United
Nations for intending to build a fence on our side of the border with our money
to keep out aliens who seek to enter our country illegally. They will probably
get a sympathetic ear as some UN bureaucrats believe there should be no such
thing as “illegal” immigrants in the first place. For the first time in our
history, Americans are being asked to cede the right to decide how we define
ourselves as a nation and protect our own borders to a globalist governance
body. Will Pelosi lead her liberal loyalists as House Speaker to support the UN
against America’s right to control its own borders? Do we really want to risk
finding out?
It is high time, as Jim Gilchrist demanded in the press release
ignored by the mainstream media, that Pelosi come clean under oath as to her
personal stake in the illegal immigration issue before she can do even more
damage as House Speaker.
