B-Man Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 MEET THE DALLAS-AREA WOMAN SHEPHERDING A ‘MOVE TO TEXAS FROM CALIFORNIA!’ MIGRATION: But here’s what the “liberal Californians, go home” crowd misses: The vast majority of West Coast dwellers who make up Bailey’s more than 11,500 Facebook followers lean conservative. And after spending a few days perusing Bailey’s page, I’d say this comment best sums up its audience: “We fell in love with Texas immediately … we’re conservative Christians who love God, country, freedom, family, gun rights and barbeque.” Bailey said cost of living and taxes are hot buttons for commenters, but so are gridlocked roads, the homeless and illegal immigration. The Realtor welcomes people of all political stripes onto her page — after all, she’s in this to make money. And she and her husband, Scott, identify as libertarian. The political climate in Prosper and Texas suits the Baileys. “The standard in California, especially in Los Angeles, is very liberal, and we didn’t feel comfortable even sharing that we were libertarian,” Marie told me.

A box of Rice-A-Roni? The TransAmerica Pyramid? A homeless heroin addict defecating in the street? It’s none of those things, of course. “San Francisco” has now become synonymous with “Teenagers addicted to vaping.” It’s definitely the city’s #1 problem. The good news is that they’re finally doing something about it. Finally. Leftist utopia is just a banned product away… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Today on "This is California" -- I go out to my car only to find a homeless guy UNDER it, passed out from whatever he was shooting into his arm (needle still in it). Sad to see, took forever to get sorted. The cops show up and the guy was nice all things considered, said he got lost trying to get out of my car. The cop goes, "that's because you were under the car." He responded, "I'm not under, I'm hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh" and laughed all the way into the back of the squad car. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expert: ‘Exodus’ from high-tax states like New York, California ‘just beginning’ Thanks in large part to the Trump-GOP tax reform law passed in December 2017, residents of high-tax states like New York, New Jersey, and California are leaving in high numbers — and the exodus is only just beginning, say experts. As Fox Business noted: The cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions has already begun to drive some residents away from high-tax states like New York and New Jersey, but experts say that trend is only going to intensify. “It took a few months for taxpayers to realize the dollar implications – until they actually filed their tax returns this year,” Alan Goldenberg, a principal at Friedman LLP, told Fox Business. “It quantified the impact of the loss of the SALT deduction when people saw it in front of their eyes on their tax return.” https://thenationalsentinel.com/2019/06/21/expert-exodus-from-high-tax-states-like-new-york-california-just-beginning/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 California State University hid a $1.5 billion surplus while raising tuition. Where is the accountability? Here we go again: Another scandal involving a state-funded entity hoarding a secret stockpile of money. This time, an investigation by California State Auditor Elaine Howle discovered $1.5 billion in surplus funds hidden in outside accounts controlled by the California State University system. Yes, that’s billion with a “b.” While CSU was squirreling away this massive fortune, it was simultaneously raising tuition costs for students and begging the California State Legislature for more money. “CSU put the money, which primarily came from student tuition, in outside accounts rather than in the state Treasury,” according to a story by The Sacramento Bee’s Sawsan Morrar. We’ve seen this story before. In 2017, Howle’s office busted the University of California Chancellor’s Office for hiding a $175 million slush fund from public view – while also hiking tuition on students. People should do jail time for this mishandling of funds. The Sacramento Bee asks: “How many more times will we learn of secretive massive funds, hidden from view by so-called public servants who apparently consider themselves above the rules?” The answer is, as long as there’s no penalty for doing so. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Tales from the states (red states) that refused to accept Obamacare funding: Quote CLEVELAND, TENN. — They were told to arrive early if they wanted to see a doctor, so Lisa and Stevie Crider left their apartment in rural Tennessee almost 24 hours before the temporary medical clinic was scheduled to open. They packed a plastic bag with what had become their daily essentials after 21 years of marriage: An ice pack for his recurring chest pain. Tylenol for her swollen feet. Peroxide for the abscess in his mouth. Gatorade for her low blood sugar and chronic dehydration. They took a bus into the center of Cleveland, Tenn., a manufacturing town of 42,000, and slept for a few hours at a budget motel. Then they awoke in the middle of the night and walked toward the first-come, first-served clinic, bringing along a referral from a social worker for what they hoped would be their first doctor’s checkup in more than four years. “Urgent needs from head to toe,” the social worker had written. “Lacking primary care and basic medication. They have fallen into the gap.” Only when Stevie and Lisa arrived at the clinic a little after 2 a.m. did it occur to them how large that medical gap has become in parts of rural America. Dozens of people were sprawled out in sleeping bags on the asphalt parking lot. Others had pitched tents on an adjacent lawn. The lot was already filled with more than 300 cars from all over the rural South, where a growing number of people in medical distress wait for hours at emergency clinics in order to receive basic primary care. Tennessee has lost 14 percent of its rural physicians and 18 percent of its rural hospitals in the past decade, leaving an estimated 2.5 million residents with insufficient access to medical care. The federal government now estimates that a record 50 million rural Americans live in what it calls "health care shortage areas," where the number of hospitals, family doctors, surgeons and paramedics has declined to 20-year lows. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/the-clinic-of-last-resort/2019/06/22/2833c8a0-92cc-11e9-aadb-74e6b2b46f6a_story.html?utm_term=.2956664a85ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
