Somewhat humorously, working for three days on the "year in review" posts has now left me with a flare-up of carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand/wrist.

The CA to TX moves may be good for business but are probably bad news for both states until the adjusted electorates wises-up. I'm sure CA will soon demand & probably receive much federal assistance from incoming administration. <br /><br />And there's a little thing I've wondered about but never researched. How did it happen that consumer warning labels for all of us are presented with what the State of California has determined about hazards & risks? We really need to quit tolerating and even following following a CA Lea (or lag). In-fact stop & back up from it. A son in Texas agrees & says the fix in CA will require years of re-education across many topics: Science, History, Career, Family, etc. I add: Slow, difficult & unpopular things in which to effect change.

They aren't the first and they won't be the last.<br /><br />Those who remain behind will be faced with even higher taxes to make up the difference while demand for state services from those who don't pay taxes proportional to their consumption continues and the quality of services and public infrastructure continue to degrade for everyone else.<br /><br />And for the final proof of my thesis: As I write this I am watching one of premier events in sports, the <i>Rose Bowl</i> being played not in California, but in Texas.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-41034892041070724262021-01-01T16:22:27.881-06:002021-01-01T16:22:27.881-06:00@Sortahwitte, same thing here, lol.

I don't trust ANYONE in gubbermint, and expect that even the better of them will roll over and let the anarchists destroy anything they want. I do have hopes that the 2022 election will allow actual patriotic citizens to correct at least part of the despicable legislature. I'm not holding my breath, though.

But he certainly deserves one for actual results. Today, Israelis are travelling to formerly verboten Arab countries, and not by train to camps.<br /><br /><b>Social Justice & the NFL:</b> Another gaslight by rich athletes who desperately want to be known for something more substantial than being rich athletes.<br /><br /><b>RBG's Wish:</b> Who knew that she could have granted her own wish all along, at least up until 2017.<br /><br /><b>ACB Nomination:</b> Can you imagine what these leftist bullies would do to Mother Teresa?<br /><br /><b>What We Voted For:</b> AMEN! If only someone could get that list to the GOP leadership, if there is any.<br /><br /><b>Hunter's Laptop:</b> If anything, it proved once and for all where "big tech" and the media lies.<br /><br /><b>Report your neighbor's Thanksgiving gathering:</b> Every day, we have to imagine less about what life in East Germany was like.<br /><br /><b>America's Darkest Days are Ahead of Us:</b> Of course they are. Because without doom and gloom, there's absolutely no reason for the existence of the modern Democrat. <i><br />It has always disgusted me that we have a major political party in this country that is entirely dependent upon people suffering in order to justify its agenda and very existence, and are perfectly happy to do whatever they can to see to it that even our most vulnerable citizens suffer as much as they can make possible.</i><br /><br />That is why I say that we ignore their manufactured gloom.

I'm hopeful this year will be much better than the last. I feel like the great unwashed, the real people and patriots, are not going to sit back and take it anymore like wishy washy Republicans have for years. The corrupted Democrats may have succeeded at last in getting rid of Trump but they've spent so much time on that one man, they've ignored the unbelievable movement he created. And they will learn that just because they managed to fraudulently win an election, that doesn't mean they can govern with no mandate and 80 million pissed off people. Still hoping for the miracle on January 6th though.
