For the past 20 years the left has controlled California. For the last 16 years the Democrats have had a veto proof majority. During that time their policies have destroyed the once great state. Farmers are forced to idle their crops. California has the highest energy prices in the country. The least affordable housing. The highest taxes. Our schools and roads are near the bottom of every measure of achievement and our Governor is going around the country bragging about his abilities

The year in reflection. Will California get tired of bad governance? Houses are not being rebuilt in LA. Stricter building codes are being adopted despite promises to freeze the codes.

How would you describe a state that promotes the sexualization and mutilation of young children? Is it evil? Are the proponents of "gender affirming care" just well meaning but misguided? In this week's podcast we discuss a young woman who was told at age 12 by a California school counselor that her anorexia and feelings of depression were caused by her being born in the wrong body. Getting hormone blockers and taking testosterone would help her to cope with her "mental" issues. At

After a 20 year study Berkeley scientists have determined that Native Americans were right. Controlled burns create healthier forests and reduce air pollution. Who would have guessed that? In another 30 year study, the United Nations found that over the last 30 years sea level has only gone up 3 inches. They then lied and said that is exactly what their models predicted. (They have been predicting at least 1 foot of sea level rise every 10 years through 2050). The Federal Reserve

In an imaginary California where there are no building codes, no permit fees and no inspections, would consumers buy a house built to 1992 building standards? The cost of building the home would be approximately 50% of today's cost to build. Did the seditious six Senators conspire with a Foreign Pysch Ops contractor to produce the videos encouraging our military to disobey orders from their commanding officers?

What are you thankful for? The first Thanksgiving was to celebrate every gift God has given us. The Pilgrims celebrated the right to worship freely. William Bradford tried socialism the first year of their arrival in America and found that many chose to not work if they had to share their food and belongings equally. It nearly destroyed the colony. The result was the beginning of American capitalism. Each pilgrim was no responsible to grow their own food and care for themselves. The

Would a 50 year mortgage make housing more affordable? If the building code allowed it, would home buyers choose a 3 bedroom one bathroom house, with a carport, a wall heater and evaporative cooling. No fire sprinklers. Nominal insulation and priced at under $180,000 on a 6,000 square foot lot? Newsom claims that California is the at the forefront of the damage caused by climate change as evidenced by the worst economic fire in history which hit California in "winter". An "atmospheric

One of the primary duties of government is to help prevent and fight fires. The more we know about the Los Angeles fires which caused the loss of more than 12,000 homes the more we realize how inept the entire Los Angeles DEI leadership was and is. Fresno Land in a story this week also exposed how the US Forest Service refused to allow a controlled burn last year which would have prevented the tragic loss of our ancient redwoods in the Garnet fire.
