You really have to wonder if California is on the road to being a failed state? A failed state politically, socially, economically, in education, health care, or any other things you want to measure.

It was interesting that on election night 2010, as the rest of the nation saw a surge of Republicans being elected governors, taking over state legislatures, and taking back Congress in Washington for the Republicans, that California alone experienced an uptick in Democrats being elected to various offices.

If there’s any “good” of all of this, it’s that the failures of California cannot be blamed in any way on Republicans. Democrats control every single statewide elected constitutional office. Democrats control both the state Assembly and state Senate. They can do whatever they want based on their control. So we’ll see the results of what happens in the future, when you have one party Democrat rule of a major American state.

I noticed that too, ya’ll lurched Left in 2010 while FL moved conservative.

Moonbeam v. Rick Scott, a CEO who never held political office before the governorship. We have a conservative legislature to go along with him. Big changes; no tenure for new teachers, some mandatory online classes for K-12, legislative approval for almost all administrative regulations, tightening up of voter laws, . . . all were last year's accomplishments. I hope you prosper despite your despotic government.
