We knew how to win the battles but didn't have the heart or the courage politically to win the war. If you are going to go to war, get it over as quick and as complete as possible. In the long run that will save lives on both sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be someone in the California VA organization who doesn’t like them. That person needs to be found and reeducated. Or fired. .

I had a 15 hour chartered military flight from Oakland that stopped to fuel in Hawaii. The flight attendants were all civilian females and they announced that although they couldn't provide liquor they could provide mixers and the airport had duty shops with liquor. It was a fun flight afterwards and named the Lap Dance Express. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments from your link: So California has basically told anyone in the oil industry to leave the state. And then they create their own extra special grade of difficult to produce gasoline that no other state requires. And then? This man is a idiot. #GavinNewsom #GavinMustGo #California This is a joke right? You’re kidding… This is like Gov. Cuomo ordering the Natural Gas companies to supply more gas after blocking pipelines. The Dem party is ignorant of science and economics, but thinks it should lecture the rest of us on how to live. Should be the quickest investigation ever… but not after he hand selects the “investigator”. California regulations, the gas tax and the carbon taxes would be a good start when he’s done starting in a mirror. It’s your fault. There, I took care of your Investigation for you. You’re welcome. Enjoy those high taxes you voted for, and you keep electing the same people who also implemented a cap and trade tax on gas. You don’t even get to see how much that is, it’s built into the price. Surrounding states are laughing. I needed a good laugh today! He knows why, and a phony investigation won’t make him look any less complicit. High gas prices caused by high taxes to fund your boondoggles. Investigation complete. It’s all the taxes and “fees” authorized by California lawmakers who don’t know how money actually works. How about the 70 cents in state sales tax and the regulations that prevent the building of new refineries…that keep gasoline more scarce…Newsome and his crook cronies in Sacramento are to blame!

The PG&E thing is really ridiculous. Newson signed a law last September giving PG&E freedom to charge all of its customers higher rates to recoup all financial losses from the wildfires. Hundreds of millions of dollars. No idea why they're behaving like they're on an episode of Real Housewives. So many properties and families were wiped out. It was truly horrible. It only makes sense that those people should, y'know, cover the cost of the PG&E and the state's negligence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 UPDATE NEWSPEAK DICTIONARIES ACCORDINGLY, COMRADES: “Governor Newsom Announces New Partnerships and Tools to Help California’s Most Vulnerable Residents During Power Shutoffs… New resource guide outlines resources available for those in de-energization areas.” Or to translate the phrase “de-energization areas” back into English: PG&E Shuts Power to 2.8 Million Californians as Fires Burn. Found via Seth Mandel of the Washington Examiner, who tweets, “A giant state bordering the ocean keeps running out of water so I’m not surprised it also runs out of electricity. What I find incredible is the humiliating Orwellianism of calling ‘de-energization’ for ‘vulnerable populations’ what is actually ‘shutting off poor people’s power.’” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
