Conservatives everywhere: If you are not already boycotting California wine. it’s time. Send word out to Prager, Medved, Limbaugh, etc. Time to put these dipstick Californians in their place. Time to fight back. To borrow a phrase, time to kick their ass!

....a $43 million deficit in the city, and the County is 3 times worse.....so the jail is no longer even taking misdemeanor arrests. So freaking stupid. Glad I moved out of that dumb@$$ cowtown. I just got my Arizona travel guide in the mail yesterday though. Kids will see something other than Disneyland for a few years.

I suspect that the councilpersons were leaned on from higher authorities. (Which excuses nothing.)

One wonders, could the WH have anything (however indirectly) to do with this?

Asked at a morning press conference whether the city would consider expanding its boycott should other states adopt laws similar to the one in Arizona, Mayor Kevin Johnson said, "what I don't want us to do as a council is to make a knee-jerk reaction that is not well thought out, especially with the impacts that it may have here locally, the impacts that it may have on other states."

What a stupid answer.
Mayor Kevin Johnson. Is he the same Mayor Kevin Maurice Johnson who's friends with Obama? The one caught in the Americorps scandal that Gerald Walpin was fired for going after? Sacramento can be proud. Obama and his friends are thugs, no different from those running African countries into the ground.

No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.

Article 1, section 10 of the US Constitution

I don't think what they are doing is legal.

Probably done by illegals ...

Sacramento awash in red ink ($21B this year alone) protests a rational group of Americans who do not want any more red ink.

I’m not surprised that Kevin Johnson — the crook who misused hundreds of thousands of federal dollars at a non-profit educational organization he founded (St. HOPE) — sticks up for criminals.

I had forgotten about that!

On April 9, 2009, Acting U.S. Attorney Lawrence G. Brown announced that St. HOPE Academy had agreed to pay $423,836.50 over ten years in settlement of allegations that it did not appropriately spend AmeriCorps grants and education awards and did not adequately document spending of grants.

The settlement amount represented one-half of the $847,673 in AmeriCorps funds received by St. HOPE Academy over three years from 2004 to 2007. Johnson, St. HOPE Academy’s founder and former CEO, agreed to pay $72,836.50 of St. HOPE Academy’s $73,836.50 initial payment.

In settlement, St. HOPE Academy acknowledged not adequately documenting a portion of its AmeriCorps grant expenditures, and the Corporation for National and Community Service terminated its September 24, 2008 suspension of St. HOPE Academy and Johnson from receiving federal funds, ending questions about Sacramento’s eligibility to receive federal stimulus funds.

Sam Oki, deleted Kevin Johnson’s emails during the federal investigation by Walpin.

Inspector General Gerald Walpin was fired by President Barack Obama last week. Obama ignored a statute requiring him to provide 30 days notice as well as provide reasons in writing to Congress for firing an inspector general. Walpin was given one hour to resign or be fired. He refused to resign.

Walpin had investigated and reported $75 million in federal money misused by AmeriCorps and St. Hope - founded by Kevin Johnson, Sacramento mayor and one time NBA star. Johnson is an Obama supporter and donor. Michelle Obama seems to be involved in the hiring going on at the corporation that Walpin works out of. Michelle’s chief of staff recently left her White House office to take a position at that corporation.

Johnson should be in lockup, not sitting in the mayor’s chair. He’s lucky it’s not up to me.

The mayor is a bigot and an asset kisser delux.

Why are African American Obama supporters so damn gullible.
