The whole CalExit secession movement might be dead for the time being, but Californias radical leftist political class remains intent on separating their state from the rest of the U.S. in every way imaginable. Despite being so near insolvency that Governor Jerry Brown has had to beg the federal government for massive monetary assistance no fewer than four times during the first half of 2017, the states Attorney General, the execrable Xavier Becerra, announced on Friday that he was adding four more states to Californias own travel ban. This travel ban prevents state employees from traveling to other states in the union which have implemented policies with which Californias lunatic public officials dont agree. The ban list now applies to 8 states, including Texas, which sets up an interesting test case when football season begins in September. San Jose State is currently scheduled to travel to Austin that month to get its collective ass whipped by the Texas Longhorns. The problem here is that the Spartans coaching staff are all state employees. It will be interesting to see how the team fares, playing a game against a superior opponent with no coaches on the sideline.
In other lamebrain California policymaker news, the Democrat plan to implement a Canadian-style single-payer healthcare system was finally pulled by the Assembly Speaker on Friday, ending a farce everyone knew was doomed to fail. Seems its kind of hard for a state that already sports a massive annual budget deficit to come up with the $400 billion it would take to fund such a system on an annual basis. Yes, thats Billion its not a typo.

Yet they say Trumps travel ban is unconstitutional.
Puerto Rico just voted for statehood. I say that in order to avoid the expense of making new 52 start flags that we accept PR and expel California.
