Wealth-Producers Escape as California Succumbs to Democrat Death Spiral

Posted on by

Let’s hope the last employer to leave California won’t forget to turn off the lights.

Via Just the News:

Yamaha Motor Company is now the latest seismic hit to California after announcing that, after half a century, the nearly $7 billion company is leaving the deep blue state.

Although Yamaha is relocating to Georgia, most companies bailing out of the erstwhile Golden State are heading to Texas.

Toyota Motor North America completed an earlier headquarters shift from Torrance, California, to Plano, Texas…

Chevron also relocated its headquarters from San Ramon, California, to Houston, Texas, in 2024…

Charles Schwab completed its headquarters relocation from San Francisco to Westlake, Texas, in 2021.

Public Storage, the nation’s largest self-storage operator, announced in February that it was relocating its corporate headquarters from Glendale, California – its home for more than 50 years – to Frisco, Texas.

The visionary Elon Musk can see what’s coming and wants no part of it. He has moved Tesla, SpaceX, and X from California to Texas. Click through for plenty more examples.

Businesses leaving California in recent years often cite the state’s high taxes, burdensome regulations and elevated cost of doing business as key factors driving the decisions.

Left behind will be the underclass that California has imported through mass immigration to vote for the Democrats who impose the high taxes and suffocating regulations. As productive citizens follow opportunity out of the Land of Fruits and Nuts, ever more radical Democrats will be elected to redistribute the shrinking pie ever more greedily, which will drive out the productive at a still higher rate, in a vicious cycle that guarantees single party Democrat rule and the total ruin of the state. California is succumbing to the Democrat Death Spiral.

Sex Offender Running for Fresno City Council

Posted on by

The next step after enabling criminals is placing them in a position to rule us directly. Daily Caller reports on a Fresno City Council candidate:

Rene Campos, a registered sex offender, has launched a campaign to represent Fresno, California’s District 7, ABC30 reported Wednesday.

Campos, who was charged with possession of child sexual abuse material in 2018, says his campaign will focus on safety.

Whose safety?

Campos told ABC30 he has “experienced the laws” his team is “trying to reform.”

Reform them enough and we won’t have any laws.

Fortunately for Campos, representatives of criminals are already in charge:

The candidate, who was initially charged with a felony count of possessing child sexual abuse material, only served 27 days in prison according to court records, with the rest of his sentence being served as “treatment” or rehabilitation.

Barks Campos:

“Public safety must be about outcomes, not outrage.”

When we lose our capacity for outrage, the moonbats win.

Campos looks the part:

CEO in Homeless–Industrial Complex Charged With Misappropriating Over $1.2 Million in Public Funds

Posted on by

The homeless–industrial complex is a lucrative sector of the economy. However, liberal establishment grifters are advised that if they are dumb enough they can still get in trouble, even in deep blue California. National Review reports on Gwendolyn Westbrook, former CEO of the United Council of Human Services:

The former CEO of a San Francisco-based homelessness nonprofit was charged Monday with nine felony counts after allegedly misappropriating more than $1.2 million in public funds.

In addition to the $1.2 million,

Court documents show that other large amounts of money are also missing from UCHS accounts.

Westbrook represents the tip of an iceberg:

The state of California spent $24 billion from 2019 to 2024 to address homelessness but officials are unsure exactly how the money was spent, according to a state audit released last year, which found that no systems were in place to track expenditures.

Regarding the return taxpayers get for their money,

Over the five-year period covered by the audit, California’s homeless population grew by 20 percent, from 151,278 in 2019 to 181,399 in 2023.

From the viewpoint of Gavin Newsom et al., this represents success. Spending other people’s money on homelessness results in more homelessness, which facilitates ever greater access by Democrats to other people’s money.

Caltech Genius Evidently Killed by Liberal Judge

Posted on by

The most dangerous group in American society in terms of its responsibility for avoidable violence may be liberal judges. One has apparently managed to kill a famous Caltech genius.

The New York Post reports:

Freddy Snyder was released by a judge using an “unnecessary prosecutions” law in December — before allegedly going on to kill Carl Grillmair in Llano [California] last week.

Grillmair is known for his work on NASA’s Spitzer Space telescope. As for Snyder,

The 29-year-old was picked up two days before Christmas for carrying a loaded firearm and an attempted jail escape, but was released on his own recognizance.

The felony case was suddenly dismissed under the Penal Code 1385 California, often referred to as PC 1385, a code ultimately decided by the judge.

Snyder has no known previous connection to Grillmair. He was picked up for carjacking soon afterward.

Snyder was formally charged with murder, carjacking, and burglary.

That should keep him locked up for at least a few weeks, even in California. But the judge — whose name has not been disclosed — will not be facing any charges for enabling the murder.

In other liberal justice news:

Leftists are using their dominance of the legal system to dismantle civilization.

The Erotic Poetry of Eric Swalwell

Posted on by

If sheer moonbattery doesn’t get Eric Swalwell elected Governor of California, he can always fall back on his erotic poetry.

The Daily Mail reports on a treasure trove of Swalwell’s writings, which includes…

…an unsettling 2001 poem about two lovers kissing and biting until their veins ‘imploded and exploded’ during a kinky hotel hookup.

It’s sick stuff:

“While I screamed / She bent her lips to mine / Kissing till veins imploded and exploded / Till blood rolled down our chins / For bounded mouths cannot speak of parting.”

The ChiCom honeytrap spy known as Fang Fang could not be reached for comment on whether she finds this arousing.

Still more disturbing:

Swalwell also used his student newspaper column to mount an impassioned defense of former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal, serving life for the shooting of a police officer.

It was a peculiar stance for someone who, on numerous occasions during his 13-year congressional career, has boasted that he is the proud son of a cop.

There was never serious dispute that Abu-Jamal murdered Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner by shooting him in the back. The debate is over whether a black leftist killing a white cop is a bad thing. Many moonbats feel that it is not.

Karen Bass Escalates Obstruction of Immigration Law Enforcement

Posted on by

Insurrection is a federal crime. So is treason. So is the obstruction of federal law enforcement. All this brings us to the communist Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass.

Via California Globe:

Bass issued an executive directive on Tuesday prohibiting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using city-owned property for staging operations.

As in Minneapolis and Philadelphia, local police are played off against federal LEOs, setting the stage for a hot civil war:

The order also mandates increased LAPD oversight of federal agents and strict adherence to recent state laws curbing immigration activities…

This latest action targets public areas such as parking lots and garages, where ICE has reportedly gathered for enforcement raids, building on existing city rules that already bar federal agents from non-public spaces without judicial warrants.

The obvious intent is to make it impossible to enforce immigration law, as a follow-up to Joe Biden’s handlers inviting millions of illegal aliens into the country in the largest invasion in human history. Incidentally, Bass was nearly picked to be Biden’s DEI VP.

Bass also wants ICE agents to be forbidden to wear masks, so they can be identified, be doxed, have their families terrorized, and be assassinated for bounties offered by Mexican cartels. It would be difficult to overstate the malevolence of Democrats like Bass.

No country can long function when the mayors of its largest cities openly side with foreign invaders and prevent the enforcement of national law.

Foreigners Living Abroad Claim to Be Illegal Aliens to Get Free Healthcare From California

Posted on by

The moonbats running California make it easy for foreigners to luxuriate in taxpayer money. Not only do they not have to be in the country legally, they don’t even have to live here.

Steve Hilton isn’t waiting for Californians to come to their senses and elect him Governor. He is already up and running with the California Department of Government Efficiency (Cal DOGE). With the help of public tips and AI, it is shining light on the outrageous fraud characterizing the misrule of the erstwhile Golden State.

Via LifeZette, Hilton reports on early findings:

“So we’ve received information about doctors prescribing medical health, medical benefits being given to Mexican citizens living in Mexico posing as illegal immigrants in order to benefit from Gavin Newsom’s free healthcare for illegal immigrants.”

Hilton emphasized that, according to the information received, some beneficiaries allegedly do not reside in the United States.

If the goal is to throw Cloward-Piven into overdrive by putting the entire planet on American welfare as has been implied, why should beneficiaries have to go to the trouble of sneaking across the border? Trump has made this difficult until Democrats regain control, so it might introduce hardship.
