And most of the damage happened within the past 20 or 25 years when the Dems pretty much took over the state and advocated that deadly combination of open borders and a massive Welfare State. The Dems then tried as best they could to kill or massively regulate the productive businesses that pay for it all. So now the state is a wasteland.

I love the old Perry Mason TV series.

They are set in a Los Angeles which is now just a memory. Same for Dragnet.

Erle Stanley Gardner was a California lawyer and outdoorsman who wrote of a different era.

One of the world’s greatest economies practically reduced to a slum.

If it wasn’t for the tech sector, CA would be the poorest state

Jack London spun many great tales, many from and about that place and time.

Sounds a lot like life here in the Sonoran Desert. Laws are obeyed by some, ignored by others. Zoning & building codes ignored, anti-dumping laws flaunted, health laws disregarded in the search for more diversity.

Victor Davis Hanson is an AMAZING describer..!

He used to be on KSFO all the time, on the show of his departed friend Lee Rodgers.

I am flabberghasted that Fresno State continues to employ him.

He tells the TRUTH —how does he get away with it?

It’s amazing. And HE is, too.

We can take it back. One illegal bastard at a time.
