Canceling San Francisco

The city’s school board is busy stripping the names of public schools that honor Lincoln, Washington, and others, even as it refuses to reopen its classrooms.

Sacramento

“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle,” wrote the city of San Francisco’s namesake, St. Francis of Assisi. Catholics revere the Italian friar — canonized in 1228 — for his great love of animals and all of God’s creation. As the current pope said in adopting Francis as his papal name, St. Francis also advanced the “idea of poverty against the luxury, pride, vanity of the civil and ecclesiastical powers.”

Making America California

The Biden administration seems determined to run the country on the ruinous model of the Golden State.

As the Biden administration settles in and begins to formulate its agenda, progressive pundits, politicians, and activists point to California as a role model for national policy. If the administration listens to them, it would prove a disaster for America’s already-beleaguered middle and working classes.

California congressman calls for $23 minimum wage

Khanna’s proposal raises questions as to what those currently making $23/hour would do if they were able to earn just as much money for less skilled work. Economists who oppose raising the minimum wage predict that efforts to do so will only cause inflation or put existing other high paying jobs in jeopardy. Furthermore, small businesses would feel the brunt of a minimum wage hike that large corporations like Amazon and Walmart could more easily shoulder.

It’s a secret: California keeps key virus data from public

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has from the start said his coronavirus policy decisions would be driven by data shared with the public to provide maximum transparency.

But with the state starting to emerge from its worst surge, his administration won’t disclose key information that will help determine when his latest stay-at-home order is lifted.

State health officials said they rely on a very complex set of measurements that would confuse and potentially mislead the public if they were made public.

The L.A. Times Is Thrilled for Biden to Usher in the Californication of America

Could we be seeing buyers’ remorse? A USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Sunday shows a double-digit increase in the percentage of Americans who think the country is on the wrong track. In December it was 49%, and it has jumped to 65%. While the pollster theorizes this has to do with the Capitol riot and second impeachment, it could just as easily be the insight we have gotten from the fictitious “Office of the President-Elect” and Joe Biden.

The term ‘California Dream’ used to be commonplace. It used to mean something. Now that term has faded into a tragic joke. From now on the term to describe the Golden State is ‘California Crazy.’

Despite Strict Lockdowns In Calif., COVID-19 Cases Are Higher Than Ever

California has one of the strictest lockdowns in the country, though coronavirus cases are reportedly higher than ever before.

The Golden State issued another round of stay-at-home orders in hopes to curb the virus, but continues to see a surge in new cases. This came after Gov. Gavin Newsom placed the state under strict lockdown measures yet again, despite the fact that they are seemingly ineffective.

The Sovietization of California

I am writing this column upon returning home to California after five days in Florida. For the first time since my first trip to Los Angeles in 1974 and moving there two years later, I dreaded going to California.
