Barack Obama created
more debt for the middle class than any president in US
history, and also
had the only huge QE programs: $4.2 Trillion.

The
Washington Times’ Fred J. Eckert reviews the new book Secret Empires: How the
American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends by
Government Accountability Institute President and Breitbart Senior
Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer.
The astonishing widespread
massive corruption of some of the biggest names in American politics that Peter Schweizer reveals in his new blockbuster
expose is shocking, startling, stunning — and sickening.
“Secret
Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family
and Friends” is an insightful and extraordinarily consequential book that
should ignite a national uproar.
Don’t
hold your breath. Our national media can be expected to do all in its power to
suppress the possibility of any uproar — even when the corruption is this vast.
It’s what they’re best at — covering up their own malfeasance and protecting
politicians with whose ideology they’ve allied themselves.
One of
the biggest scandals in American history was swirling around us. Leading U.S.
government figures were embracing corruption. Foreign governments were
colluding with American sleazes to hurt our country. Family and friends of
these key political figures conspired as middlemen between foreign interests
seeking influence and these enormously influential U.S. government officials.

The world's richest one per cent are on track to own two thirds of global wealth by 2030.
New figures from the House of Commons library show shocking levels of income inequality if financial trends continue in the way they have done since the 2008 crash.
Statistics reveal the top one per cent will account for 64 per cent of global wealth, which will total £216.5trillion in 12 years time - £99trillion higher than it is today.
They also show the richest one per cent has been growing much faster than it has previously, at an average of six per cent a year.
New figures from the House of Commons library show the world's richest one per cent are on track to own two thirds of global wealth by 2030
Experts believe increasing disparity will come as a result of higher saving rates among the wealthy and the accumulation of stocks and other assets, which bring disproportionate benefits, reports The Guardian.
A survey carried out by consultants Opinium shows UK voters are increasingly concerned by how much power the world's richest have.
It showed 34 per cent of those surveyed believe the super rich will yield the most power in 12 years time, while 28 per cent thought it would be national governments.
The poll also revealed fears disparity will lead to increasing corruption, as the top one per cent take over politicians as the most influential on the global stage.
It was commissioned by former Labour cabinet minister Liam Byrne, as MPs, academics, business leaders and trade unions club together to take on growing inequality.
Mr Byrne wants to put pressure on G20 leaders after declaring global inequality is 'at tipping point'.
Actor Michael Sheen is also backing the calls, after taking a step back from his Hollywood career to campaign against credit providers.

11 April 2018
As lawmakers return to the capital after a spring recess,
Republicans are preparing to release a new five-year farm bill that would
impose tougher requirements for eligibility for food stamps, officially known
as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
The farm bill is a nearly $1 trillion piece of legislation that
includes provisions for crop insurance, conservation programs, and commodity
price and income support programs for the agriculture industry. But the vast
majority of its funding is allocated for food stamps. In the 2014 bill, SNAP’s
10-year cost was $756 billion, or 80 percent of the entire $956 billion bill.
Republicans on the House Agriculture Committee are proposing to
add further work requirements to SNAP. Under the current proposal, adults
between the ages of 18 and 65, who are able-bodied and without children, would
have to be working to be eligible for food stamps. Those without a job would be
required to attend a minimum of 20 hours a week of new job-training classes,
which would increase to 25 hours in 2026.
The program currently has work requirements for most people
between the ages of 18 and 49, but governors in states with high unemployment
are able to waive them. SNAP’s current provisions include exemptions from work
requirements for those who are elderly, disabled or have school-age children.
The new bill would end the waiver allowances for high-unemployment states.
According to Politico,
the draft of the farm bill also calls for severing ties between SNAP and the
Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which helps low-income
households pay their energy bill. Most states use a provision in SNAP that
increases a household’s food stamp benefits if they participate in LIHEAP.
The new bill would also eliminate a provision known as
“broad-based categorical eligibility” that allows states to simplify the
enrollment process for food stamps when someone is already on another welfare
program.
Democrats in the House Agriculture Committee say the new proposal
could result in the loss of benefit eligibility for 1 million people. Democrats
in the committee have stated their full disapproval of the new proposal.
However, their opposition, to the extent that it exists, is centered on
arguments that people would not show up to job-training programs and that the
bill’s implementation would create a larger bureaucracy.
The Trump administration is also proposing to cut funding for SNAP
by $129 billion, or roughly 20 percent, over a decade by shifting food stamp
benefits to a state-run box delivery system, called America’s Harvest Box.
According to the Wall Street Journal,
more than 16 million households would no longer receive full SNAP benefits on
cards, but would get half in the form of cereal, beans, canned fruits and other
food purchased by the government through wholesale channels instead of at
supermarkets.
Approximately 43 million Americans currently receive food stamp
benefits. To qualify for food stamps, a household must have a net income below
130 percent of the poverty line, or about $26,000 a year for a family of three.
On average, a family of three receives $373 a month in assistance, but food
stamps often don’t cover a full month’s worth of food.
Critics of work requirements state that they mostly increase food
insecurity and argue that food, health insurance and housing are all keys to
helping people get and stay employed. One Ohio survey found that many SNAP
recipients have unidentified injuries, such as chronic pain, that prevent them
from working. Factors such as language barriers, education, and lack of
transportation also prevent people from working.
Rep. Mike Conaway (Republican of Texas), chairman of the
Agriculture Committee, has made clear that the work requirements are aimed at
pushing people off SNAP. “We’re going to get you on that ladder to success that
gets you off these programs and having you take care of your family the
old-fashioned way,” Conaway said in a speech in Texas last month. “If you
choose not to, if you say, ‘Well, you know, that food stamp thing is just not
worth it, don’t want to work,’ great. We’re Americans. That’s your choice.”
A Feeding America report found that one out of every eight people,
and one out of every six children, did not consistently have access to food in
2015. The new farm bill would only make it harder for poor people to purchase
food and increase food insecurity in the United States.
Pelosi: ‘Wealthiest
1% Continue to Hoard the Benefits of the U.S. Economy’
House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi (Screen Capture)
(CNSNews.com) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.)
said today that the jobs report for March, which showed unemployment holding at
4.1 percent, indicates that “the wealthiest 1 percent continue to hoard the
benefits of the U.S. economy.”
BLOG: SUCH A FUCKING LIE!!!
DEMS ARE THE PARTY FOR OPEN BORDERS, LA RAZA SUPREMACY, NO
E-VERIFY AND NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!
"Democrats will never stop fighting for the hard-working
middle class families who are the backbone of our nation," Pelosi said.
Here is Pelosi’s statement following
the release of the March jobs report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
“March’s disappointing jobs report shows that corporations and
the wealthiest 1 percent continue to hoard the benefits of the U.S. economy.
Powerful special interests are reaping massive windfalls from the GOP tax scam,
while workers are denied the raises and good-paying jobs they deserve.
“From the start, the White House and Republicans in Congress
have put themselves and their rich donors first, and the American people last.
Corporations are cheering their huge new tax breaks by enriching their
executives and investors, while hard-working men and women see little help and
rising health costs.
“Democrats are fighting to give the American people a better
deal, with better jobs, better wages and a better future. We are committed to
creating millions of new good-paying jobs and raising wages, lowering the
soaring cost of living for families and giving every American the tools to
succeed in the 21st Century economy. Democrats will never stop fighting for the
hard-working middle class families who are the backbone of our nation.”
NANCY PELOSI, and her LA RAZA SISTERS, SEN. DIANNE
FEINSTEIN, FORMER SEN. BARBARA BOXER and NOW SEN. KAMALA HARRIS are a pantheon
of staggering self-serving corruption.
They and their families have all gotten filthy rich
off of these women’s elected office.
Their endless hispandering for the illegals’ votes has
turned California into Mexifornia, a drug, gang and anchor baby welfare
third-world dumpster!
“Liberal governing has transformed beautiful California into
the poverty capital of America with the worst quality of life. Crazy
taxes, crazy high
cost of living, and crazy overreaching
regulations have crushed the middle
class, forcing the middle class to exit the Sunshine State. All that
is left in California are illegals feeding at the breast of the state, rapidly
growing massive homeless tent cities, and the mega-rich.” LLOYD MARCUS

“Thirteen
years after welfare reform, the share of immigrant-headed households (legal and
illegal) with a child (under age 18) using at least one welfare program
continues to be very high. This is partly due to the large share of immigrants
with low levels of education and their resulting low incomes — not their legal
status or an unwillingness to work. The major welfare programs examined in this
report include cash assistance, food assistance, Medicaid, and public and
subsidized housing.” Steven A. Camarota

ENTERPRISE HOSPITAL AND CLINIC COST FOR LA RAZA’S “FREE” MEDICAL WHICH IS
ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT $1.5 BILLION PER YEAR.
Liberals
claim they more than make that up with taxes paid, but that’s simply not true.
It’s not even close. FAIR estimates illegal aliens in California contribute
only $1.21 billion in tax revenue, which means they cost California $20.6
billion, or at least $1,800 per household.
Nonetheless, open border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the Center for Immigration Studies has documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If illegal aliens were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, California, with its 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be booming.
Furthermore, the complexion of illegal aliens has changed with far more on welfare and committing crimes than those who entered the country in the 1980s. Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer, they will tell you it’s much worse today. The problem is that the Brown administration will not release any statewide data on illegal alien crimes. That would be insensitive. And now that California has declared itself a “sanctuary state,” there is little doubt this sends a message south of the border that will further escalate illegal immigration into the state.

"If the racist "Sensenbrenner
Legislation" passes the US Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil
disobedience movement will emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with
the immigrant civil rights and "Immigrant Sanctuary" movements
to enable us to either form a new political party or to do heavy duty reforming
of the existing Democratic Party. The next and final steps would follow and
that is to elect our own governors of all the states within Aztlan."
Indeed, California goes out of its way to attract illegal aliens. The state has even created government programs that cater exclusively to illegal aliens. For example, the State Department of Motor Vehicles has offices that only process driver licenses for illegal aliens. With over a million illegal aliens now driving in California, the state felt compelled to help them avoid the long lines the rest of us must endure at the DMV. And just recently, the state-funded University of California system announced it will spend $27 million on financial aid for illegal aliens. They’ve even taken out radio spots on stations all along the border, just to make sure other potential illegal border crossers hear about this program. I can’t afford college education for all my four sons, but my taxes will pay for illegals to get a college education.

If Immigration Creates
Wealth, Why Is California America's Poverty Capital?
California used to be home to America's
largest and most affluent middle class. Today, it is
America's poverty capital. What went
wrong? In a word: immigration. According to the
U.S. Census Bureau'...: The
Golden State is peddling fool's gold lately.
California used to be
home to America's largest and most affluent middle class. Today, it
is America's poverty capital. What went wrong? In a
word: immigration.
According to the U.S. Census
Bureau's Official Poverty Measure, California's poverty rate hovers
around 15 percent. But this figure is misleading: the Census Bureau measures
poverty relative to a uniform national standard, which doesn't account for
differences in living costs between states – the cost of taxes, housing, and
health care are higher in California than in Oklahoma, for
example. Accounting for these differences reveals that California's real poverty rate is
20.6 percent –
the highest in America, and nearly twice the national average of 12.7
percent.
Likewise, income inequality in California is
the second-highest in America, behind only New York. In fact, if California
were an independent country, it would be the 17th most unequal country on
Earth, nestled comfortably between Honduras and Guatemala. Mexico is
slightly more egalitarian. California is far more unequal than the
"social democracies" it emulates: Canada is the 111th most
unequal nation, while Norway is far down the list at number 153 (out of 176
countries). In terms of income inequality, California has more in
common with banana republics than other "social democracies."
More Government, More Poverty
High taxes, excessive regulations,
and a lavish welfare state – these are the standard explanations for
California's poverty epidemic. They have some merit. For
example, California has both the highest personal income tax rate and the
highest sales tax in America, according to Politifact.
Not only are California's taxes high,
but successive "progressive" governments have swamped the state in a
sea of red tape. Onerous regulations cripple small businesses and
retard economic growth. Kerry Jackson, a fellow with the Pacific
Research Institute, gives a few specific examples of how excessive government
regulation hurts California's poor. He writes in a recent op-ed for
the Los Angeles Times:
Extensive environmental regulations
aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions make energy more expensive, also
hurting the poor. By some estimates, California energy costs are as
much as 50% higher than the national average. Jonathan A. Lesser of
Continental Economics ... found that "in 2012, nearly 1 million California
households faced ... energy expenditures exceeding 10% of household
income."
Some government regulation is
necessary and desirable, but most of California's is not. There is
virtue in governing with a "light touch."
Finally, California's welfare state
is, perhaps paradoxically, a source of poverty in the state. The Orange Country Register reports that California's
social safety net is comparable in scale to those found in Europe:
In California a mother
with two children under the age of 5 who participates in these major welfare
programs – Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (food stamps), housing assistance, home energy assistance,
Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children – would
receive a benefits package worth $30,828 per year.
... [Similar] benefits
in Europe ranged from $38,588 per year in Denmark to just $1,112 in
Romania. The California benefits package is higher than in
well-known welfare states as France ($17,324), Germany ($23,257) and even
Sweden ($22,111).
Although welfare states ideally help
the poor, reality is messy. There are three main problems with the
welfare state. First, it incentivizes poverty by rewardingthe
poor with government handouts that are often far more valuable than a
job. This can be ameliorated to some degree by imposing work
requirements on welfare recipients, but in practice, such requirements are
rarely imposed. Second, welfare states are expensive. This means higher taxes and therefore slower economic
growth and fewer job opportunities for everyone – including the poor.
Finally, welfare states are magnets
for the poor. Whether through domestic migration or foreign immigration,
poor people flock to places with generous welfare states. This is
logical from the immigrant's perspective, but it makes little sense from the
taxpayer's. This fact is why socialism and open borders arefundamentally incompatible.
Why Big Government?
Since 1960, California's population exploded from 15.9 to 39 million
people. The growth was almost entirely due to immigration – many
people came from other states, but the majority came from
abroad. The Public Policy Institute of California estimates that 10 million
immigrants currently reside in California. This works out to 26
percent of the state's population.
BLOG: COME TO
MEXIFORNIA! HALF OF LOS ANGELES 15 MILLION ARE ILLEGALS!
This figure includes
2.4 million illegal aliens, although a recent study from Yale University suggests that the
true number of aliens is at least double that. Modifying the initial figure implies that
nearly one in three Californians is an immigrant. This
is not to disparage California's immigrant population, but it is madness to
deny that such a large influx of people has changed California's society and
economy.
Importantly, immigrants vote
Democrat by a ratio higher than 2:1, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies. In California,
immigration has increased the pool of likely Democrat voters by nearly 5
million people, compared to just 2.4 million additional likely Republican
voters. Not only does this almost guarantee Democratic victories,
but it also shifts California's political midpoint to the left. This
means that to remain competitive in elections, the Republicans must abandon
or soften many conservative positions so as to cater to the center.
California became a
Democratic stronghold not because Californians became socialists, but because
millions of socialists moved there. Immigration turned California
blue, and immigration is ultimately to blame for California's high poverty
level.

Is California Governor
Jerry Brown Mentally Ill?
Leftists are relentlessly
selling their bogus narrative that Trump is insane. Here are samples
of leftists' headlines: "Lawmakers Met With Psychiatrist About Trump's
Mental Health," "President Trump's Mental State An 'Enormous Present
Danger,'" "The Awkward Debate Around Trump's Mental Fitness,"
"The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists Assess."
So what has Trump done to
convince leftists that he must be crazy? Unlike Republicans, Trump
fearlessly confronts fake news media, calling them out when they
lie. Unlike Obama's punish-evil-America-first presidency, Trump has
America's best interest at heart. Unlike leftists seeking to
dissolve our borders, Trump plans to build a wall to protect our people and our
economy. Insanely, leftists cheered when Obama allowed
Ebola into America, claiming it was racist and unfair for Americans not to be
subjected to the disease. Unlike Obama, Hillary, Democrats, and fake
news media's war on Christianity (forcing a 100-year-old order of Catholic
nuns to fund contraception and forcing Christian businesses to service
same-sex ceremonies), Trump vows to defend religious liberty.
So I guess, according to
leftists' perverse way of thinking, that Trump must be crazy, along with the 63
million Americans who voted for him.
Governor Brown signed a
new law making California a sanctuary state, doubling down on his bizarre quest
to undermine American citizens. In essence, Brown gave federal law,
President Trump, and legal California residents his middle
finger. Numerous California families have suffered devastating
losses of family members killed by illegals with long felony records who have
been deported several times and welcomed back with open arms by
Brown. One mom whose son was killed by an illegal with two DUIs and
two felonies said Brown should be arrested for treason. Isn't it
reasonable to question Brown's sanity?
Liberal governing has
transformed beautiful California into the poverty
capital of America with the worst quality of life. Crazy
taxes,
crazy high cost of living, and crazy overreaching
regulations have crushed the middle class, forcing the middle class to
exit the Sunshine State. All that is left in California are illegals
feeding at the breast of the state, rapidly growing massive
homeless tent cities, and the mega-rich. Would a sane governor take pride
in causing this to happen to his state?
Headline: "San
Francisco Is A Literal [s-]hole, Public Defecation Map Reveals." Can
you imagine homeless people pooping on the streets being so pervasive that an
interactive map was created to help citizens avoid the piles of
poop? Human feces carries infectious
diseases. What
kind of irrational logic deems posing such health risks to constituents an act
of compassion? Is Governor Brown crazy?
Insanely, three fourths
of California's taxpayer dollars – more than $30 billion – is spent on
illegal aliens. Meanwhile, despite the highest taxes in the nation,
California is $1.3 trillion in debt – unemployment is at a staggering
11%. California's wacko giveaways to illegals include in-state
tuition, amounting to $25 million of financial aid. Nearly a million
illegals have California driver's licenses. L.A. County has 144%
more registered voters than there are residents of legal voting
age. Clearly, illegals are illegally
voting.
Get this, folks: Americans
are spending almost a billion dollars a year on auto insurance for
illegals. Brown is gifting illegals billions in welfare and housing
while his constituents cannot find a place to live.
Ten years ago, a buddy of
mine excitedly moved his family from Maryland to California to accept the
highest-paying job of his career. Despite his lucrative salary, he
was forced to move back east due to the outrageously high cost of
living. My buddy said if he were an illegal, practically everything
would be free. His story inspired me to write and record a Beach
Boys-style song titled "Can't Afford the Sunshine."
Once again, I ask you,
folks: would a rational governor do what Brown is doing to his
constituents? Is Governor Jerry Brown mentally ill?
Laura Ingraham: ‘California Is Almost Acting Like It’s a Separate Country’
Earlier this
week on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” host Laura Ingraham slammed
California and its leaders for its sanctuary city policies and its open
defiance of the federal government seeking to uphold existing immigration law.
Transcript
as follows:
INGRAHAM: The radical takeover of California, that’s the focus
of tonight’s ANGLE.
I still remember the first time I traveled to Southern
California, it was the summer of 1984 and Los Angeles is hosting the Olympics.
Reagan was president and Republican George (inaudible) was the state’s
governor. Now, he was a moderate conservative, a law and order kind of guy.
The whole place, to me at least, felt like a Beach Boy song, the
weather, the people, the lifestyle was all, you know, beautiful stuff. But
today, the sunshine not with understanding, California is a very different
place. It’s now a place where state officials actively thwart federal
authorities trying to stop violent criminal offenders.
Oakland’s mayor, Libby Schaaf, went so far as to issue a warning
to immigrant communities that an ICE raid was forthcoming. Well, the president
sounded off on that today.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: What the mayor of
Oakland did the other day was a disgrace where they had close to 1,000 people
ready to be gotten, ready to be taken off the streets. Many of them, they say
85 percent of them were criminals and had criminal records, and the mayor of
Oakland went out and she went out and warned them all, scatter.
So instead of taking in a thousand, they took in a fraction of
that. She said get out of here. She is telling that to criminals and it’s
certainly something that we are looking at with respect to her individually.
What she did is incredible and very dangerous from the standpoint of ICE and
Border Patrol, very dangerous. She really made law enforcement much more
dangerous.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
INGRAHAM: Now, for her part, Mayor Schaaf is deflecting that
criticism and she is going straight to the r-word.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MAYOR LIBBY SCHAAF, OAKLAND: The attorney general is trying to
distract the American people from a failed immigration system by painting a
racist, broad brush of our immigrant community as dangerous criminals.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
INGRAHAM: Now who is mentioning skin color or ethnicity or where
people are from. That’s just pathetic. California, the way you see this playing
out, is almost acting like it’s a separate country all together, not a separate
state. Well, I think Attorney General Jeff Sessions was 100 percent correct
yesterday when he labeled state officials radical extremists for perpetuating
the lawlessness.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JFFF SESSIONS, ATTORNEY GENERAL: Federal law determines
immigration policy. State of California is not entitled to block that activity.
Somebody needs to stand up and say no, you’ve gone too far. You cannot do this.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
INGRAHAM: But California AG Javier Becerra shot back. He argued
that the state sanctuary laws are constitutional adding our folks are very busy
doing public safety around the state. We don’t have to do the immigration work
for immigration officials. Excuse me. Public safety?
Well, that’s what we are supposed to believe when your own
Oakland mayor warned the illegal aliens ahead of time when she got wind of the
ice raid that was about to happen? Today, the White House released a partial
list of the crimes committed set free despite the lawful request of immigration
authorities. Check it out.
There is a Guatemalan citizen who was arrested last august for
injuring his spouse. While the Sonoma County jail provided ice with a whopping
24 minutes in the before it released the alien. A few weeks later, the Santa
Rosa Police Department in California arrested that same individual as a suspect
in the murder of his girlfriend.
Another Guatemalan, an alleged gang member was arrested by the
San Francisco police more than 10 times between 2013 and 2017 for charges
including rape, domestic battery, second degree robbery, assault, vehicle
theft, and on each occasion, what happened was ice requested notification of
his release so then ice could take him into custody.
Each time ICE’s request was declined by California. And then a
citizen of Mexico was arrested by Santa Clara County for drug possession on
January 11th, 2017. He was later convicted of child cruelty, felony possession
purchase of controlled substances and, of course, possession of marijuana. He
was released from local custody.
The list goes on and on. And we could literally do an entire
show just on the myriad ways that California sanctuary policies have endangered
the lives of innocent, law abiding citizens. And, of course, law enforcement
and, of course, legal immigrants.
California AG Becerra and Governor Moon Beam Brown are living in
alternative universe. They deny that they even have sanctuary laws in place.
Yet, here’s what their new statutes stipulate. In violation of federal
statutes, local officials cannot tell the feds when illegals in custody are
about to be released.
And they are banned under this law from transferring criminal
immigrants to federal officials. Now, we are talking about undocumented
criminals here. And the state of California is also so concerned about the
welfare of the illegal immigrants, that they imposed a state-run inspection of
immigrants detained by the federal government.
So, basically, they are trying to regulate federal immigration
detention and, perhaps most outrageously, one California law now requires
private business owners to — they can’t voluntarily cooperate with ICE agents.
Now, in fact, they have to notify illegal employees before any workplace
inspections take place or those private business owners face heavy fines.
Now, you cannot get more radical and rapidly open borders than
that. Though California officials are triggered over the sessions’ lawsuit, it
may be, may be the beginning of restoring some sanity to this state.
Republicans, let’s face it, largely have been shut out of
California politics now for years u and we are a very long way from the days
when Pete Wilson was governor back in the 1990s. Permissive liberal social
welfare policies and the embrace of illegal immigrants have plunged the state
into a spiral of homelessness.
It’s now at a crisis point declared by San Francisco and Los
Angeles and even Orange County. We reported on this before is grappling with
homeless encampments and the crime and health issues that come along with them.
This is not what the people of California want. How do I know that?
Well, a UC Berkeley poll just found that 74 percent of
Californians wanted to end sanctuary cities including 55 percent of Hispanics,
and 73 percent of Democrats. Now, if that’s not a cry for sanity or a cry for
help, I do not know what is.
Sessions and the Trump administration are throwing the golden
state a lifeline with these sanctuary lawsuits because if they’re successful,
perhaps the good vibrations, political and otherwise, can roll through
California once again. And that’s THE ANGLE.

MEXIFORNIA: WHERE LA RAZA AND THEIR CARTELS
LOOT FIRST!
CALIFORNIA…. LAND OF POVERTY, WELFARE FOR ANCHOR BABY
BREEDERS and MEXICANS WHO JUMPED THE BORDERS TO VOTE FOR MORE!
California became a Democratic stronghold not because Californians
became socialists, but because millions of socialists moved
there. Immigration turned California blue, and immigration is
ultimately to blame for California's high poverty level.
California used to be home to America's largest and most affluent middle class. Today, it is America's poverty capital. What went wrong? In a word: immigration. SPENCER P. MORRISON

“Thirteen
years after welfare reform, the share of immigrant-headed households (legal and
illegal) with a child (under age 18) using at least one welfare program
continues to be very high. This is partly due to the large share of immigrants
with low levels of education and their resulting low incomes — not their legal
status or an unwillingness to work. The major welfare programs examined in this
report include cash assistance, food assistance, Medicaid, and public and
subsidized housing.” Steven A. Camarota
