As he was sworn in for a record fourth term, Gov. Jerry Brown charted an ambitious new goal on Monday for California in its fight against climate change, challenging the nation's most populous state to increase renewable energy use to 50 percent in the next 15 years.

Last week they were bragging about the 1.5 million new driver's licenses being issued to illegal aliens in California. Guess they will all be driving electric cars.

The arrogance is breathtaking.

But the regressive taxation it will take to make it happen is hilarious. Embrace the permanently poor and then tax them to death.

Inviting millions of illiterate illegal aliens into the state to take advantage of taxpayer largess while shoveling yet more regulations and taxes, strangling businesses.

Obviously the democrats seek to destroy California's middle class. Its the only way to explain their lunacy.

And because the collective IQ of the state's voters continues to slide as this third worldization continues there is absolutely NO hope in sight.

Unless Jerry Brown can change the laws of physics, there are going to a lot of Californians living in the dark and cold because they can't afford the power....

OMG, another four years of this.

Unfortunately the next moonbeam will be worse.

By the time they are done, the only legal fuel will be compost.

Imagine the energy they’d save if they would deport all illegals.

Now that global warming has been proven false and a scam, California wants to double down on regulations, getting their control factors in before the peons revolt.

Was there ever a better example of the phrase “tilting at windmills”?

"Obviously the democrats seek to destroy California's middle class. Its the only way to explain their lunacy."

I just saw a similar statement in another thread. Given that the middle class in any state is the voting majority, is the middle class just sitting on its hands on election day instead of getting out to fire tax-hungry state lawmakers? If such is the case, then middle class voters deserve whatever state lawmakers throw at them imo.

I believe the sad fact is that most of the people get their news/information fed to them from the America hating MSM. If you believe the stuff fed to you from the TV talking heads (and from the not dying quickly enough newspapers) - you believe the Global Warming farce is real, you believe Gentle Giant Michael Brown was shot while kneeling down and raising his hands up in the air, and a host of other fictions.

Not so much stupid, but negligent - and not understanding that the people feeding you their version of the 'news' hate you and hate America.

The net result is that the Communists are in charge. And my loathing of the Media grows on a daily basis.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

I appreciate your point. The problem is that low-information voters will be satisfied that there is a way to control the sun if politicians move their lips in response to that question, regardless if such voters don’t quite understand what the politicians are saying.

The middle class is a minority of voters.

The people on welfare plus government employees are the majority by a large percentage.

They have only become effective because of the internet.

Someone make a caricature of Brown wearing a “climate change” boot on standing on a citizens neck with Brown screaming “stop breathing”
