SACRAMENTO, CAIn a move to prevent Californians from fleeing by the millions, Gavin Newsom announced a ban on gasoline automobiles this week.
The law will make it so that Californians can't drive away and escape the state in a matter of hours, forcing them to instead form migrant caravans and make the treacherous trek across the blistering deserts of the Southwest.
"Now, they'll have to cross the desert on foot," Newsom said as he handed down the order. "I'll show them, trying to flee my progressive utopia! Ha ha ha ha ha!"

LOL. Not far off the mark.
Surprised Newsom has not enacted an Exit Tax too.

I send $100 each January to Free republic. May have done it only once. More of this Babylon Bee crap will soon mean the rest of you folks can carry me. Downright stupid.

Years ago I went to monthly ($10/mo) autopaid from PayPal. Dont have to think about it so I never forget. Been doing monthly for the better part of a decade now.
Sorry you dont like the Bees humor/satire, but for me its a break from all the bullshit and politics (but I repeat myself). I appreciate a Bee piece wedged in between all the other stuff.

The funniest part is those poor folks who try to take the new train line to speed things up and find the train doesn’t go anywhere.

Gateway Pundit is at least serious BS. Slanted. Babylon Bee? We’re in a serious election season. No room for the stupid b.s. they put out. Some people are just looking for an excuse to spend their money. My $100 just went to john James-Much.

Born there, 59 years before getting out. The democrat decay really started in the 70's and just accelerated. Those left there either like it, or cannot do a thing about it.

Free Repulic is a web site, not a newspaper, so there is room for lots of different things that appeal to some Freepers and don't offend JimRob.
We have Freeper Canteen (What kind of Pizza are you), Music ranking surveys, NFL threads, Florida man stories, etc. That makes this FR. Because JimRob has plenty of drive space, there is room for all of it, and you can skip the ones that don't interest you or offend you.
I like the satire put out by both the Babylon Bee and JimRob. When USA Today fact checks a Babylon Bee story, it shows they are over the target. Rush Limbaugh has always said that mockery and satire is an excellent approach, which is why he has always employed it. There are different flavors of satire and mockery, but the Babylon Bee's heart is in the right place, and there is nothing with publishing their stories unless JimRob disagrees.

Trump should announce “The March To The Sea Part II” to liberate the West Coast by sending in the Army and follow through on it. Part I was Sherman’s march.
Seriously, Trump really needs to do something.
