The great westward drive that began with Lewis and Clark has been steadily rolling backward. Southern California is filled with moving trucks headed to Arizona, Texas and Nevada. Those who can afford it, fly to Florida. The Russians were here once and then the Spanish. The American presence in California was more comprehensive and lasted longer, but may one day leave sagging Wells Fargo banks and decrepit mini malls filled with sushi places and nail salons the way the Spanish left their missions.
It's a beautiful country, but so is Afghanistan and any number of otherwise unlivable places. Every other visit to a store seems to end with a shoplifter boldly walking out with a few items in hand. Sometimes a cashier, usually young and male, shouts futilely, "Hey, sir" into the wind. A few older women, cashiers and customers, mutter about how it's hurting everyone. A manager says this is the new normal. No one connects it to the coming elections. The media tells them that the madness is a social phenomenon, a response to inequality, the pandemic, and climate change, and they never bother to argue.
We think of Third World countries as poor, but they're not. Visit Karachi, Cairo and Jakarta, or even Baghdad, Gaza, or even Kabul, and you'll see great riches and even greater poverty. The problem with income inequality isn't that CEOs make two million times what their employees do, it's that there's nothing in the middle. The middle class makes a society, sane and livable. It gives people something to reach for rather than beating their wives or knifing their neighbors in the dark. The bourgeois is civilization. Without the middle class, there's barbarism, a crude hierarchy and the rule of force.

Trying to slam one of the best conservative writers in our world, not just America.
We have those same stupid people ruining things on the east Coast too: I just stopped at McDonalds with my family to feed them after church. A large SUV, all black, with New York plates cut in line on front of me, then gave a large custom order over the speaker - and when we got to the windows, moved directly past the Pay window we and drove straight to the delivery window, got his order and left.
I was left to explain to my children that people like this exist. And vote Democratic.
Just an update.

“I bet they said the same thing about Virginia a few years ago too and look what happened in the last election”
Virginia isn’t nearly as far down the rabbit hole as California. We still have a few years of sanity, but with the expansion of Big Gov, damned Yankees leaving their hell holes, and the indoctrination of our children in public schools we’re circling the drain too.
Search this site alone and you can find HUNDREDS of articles showing the Democrat constant cheating in California since the early 90’s, not to mention every time there are polls the overwhelmingly majority of California always opposes illegal immigration and trans propaganda towards kids
Go ahead and enjoy being boiled slowly in the pot
Well this “best conservative writer in our world” is intentionally ignoring all the cheating in California and pretends that every California citizen is Nancy Pelosi (A native child of New England BTW)
I’ve lived in California my entire life (I’m 62). What a different place it is from the state I grew up in.
Step one was legalizing ballot harvesting. At that point, it established fraud as the deciding factor in all elections. That established the Far Left as the party in power, at all levels and at all times.
That brought us to the reality described in the linked article. The state is finished. We have another house waiting elsewhere, but my wife is still holding on to hope that this place will be redeemed. It won’t; at least not in our lifetimes.
Great column.
The water is Fine,
Enjoy the suck!
He’s a Noob,,,?
Who’d a thunk it?
Honest question,,,,
What are You doing
in This Fight?
True words and a true article. Worth your reading. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That’s it in a nutshell.
It is a Cloward Priven strategy now followed by Klaus Schwab and his New World Order acolytes and oligarchs. Among his followers are Obama, Biden, Canada’s Justin Trudeau, every Head of State of the EU , including Britain. And it actually is the reason there is war between Ukraine and Russia. Zalensky is also a scion of Klaus Schwab and the New World order of Socialism brought on by “softer and gentler “ Fascists.
NATO has becme the operational military arm of the New World Order....it is no longer a defence pact, but a neo colonial power after what NATO did in Libya. That’s how Putin justifies his war and invasion of Ukraine, for Russia has little or no future of having a middle class it needs with a NWO economy in Europe run by leftist wet dream ideologues and greenies.
Getting rid of the political force exercised by the middle class is a multifaceted operation. Indoctrinate the youth to be happy with little, take away personal ambition and substitute recreational drugs, dimininsh small entrepreneurship as much as possible, raise taxes on the middle class to extraordinary levels, decimate the middle class with crime, destroy the patriotic institutions of the country so that the middle class will not serve in the military, divide Americans on issues of race, weaponize the FBI and the DOJ against the people,the list goes on and on.
And this is the ONE thing that Mitch McConnell steadfastly refuses to address, which is why he needs to go , for he himself acts JUST LIKE a supporter of Cloward Priven and the destruction of middle America.
That’s why we MUST elect a MAGA president in 2024 and hobble these leftist bastards on Nov. 8th. Parallel populist movements are on the rise in Europe, one just having won in Italy. These leftist bums need to be thrown out and Klaus Schwab made into persona non grata.
