Remember when Auntie Nanna steered BILLIONS in Covid funds to CA?

Where’d that money go, Greasy Gav?

The modern day 40 acres and a mule. I hope blacks can use this as a learning opportunity and that they are just being used by the left for their vote. The media loved covering the reparation hearings but now that the rug has been pulled out from under them, crickets from the media on the outrage from blacks.

It will be interesting to see what happens with reparations for slavery in California.

Newsom created this “task force” to study reparations for slavery. He did this in the summer of 2020, as a result of the liberal guilt over George Floyd.

So his commission comes back, and says we should pay out billions and billions.

Now he’s hesitant over actually paying reparations for slavery.

Well,the liberal and radical types will fight over this. Stay tuned.

Now, who really knows what a deficit actually is?

I can’t ask a woman. What is a woman?

History books are being altered to reflect a new and improved reality.

Up is down.... Don’t disagree with the narrative, you can be destroyed.

Get a clue.... Everything is going well. Improvements are everywhere.

Great analogy.

I’d love to have that “40 acres and a mule” about now...although few actually got that back then.

We are witnessing Cloward/Piven in real time in California, going just like planned.

This is one of those few times when I personally wished that our Federal deficit would be only $32 Billion .... :(

Top farm land in Iowa is fetching $16K/acre, that’s $640,000 plus a mule. Not bad.

I have it on good authority that the real deficit figure for California is around $80bn.

Can you imagine if anyone wanted to give someone 40 acres and a mule today? Would they know how to work the farm and earn a living from farming?

Instead of giving them an IOU for reparations they should get an FU for reparations.

1) Promise them reparations
2) Increase the reparations amount so the putative recipients get real excited
3) Putative recipients vote for Democrats
4) Tell putative recipients that you are working on the financing of reparations
5) With elections approaching again, go to 1)

That worked out pretty well in South Africa, didn't it?

Okay, okay. That worked out pretty well in Zimbabwe, didn't it?

None of that matters to Democrat voters (esp. women of both sexes) so long as his hair plugs and capped teeth are on prominent display.

If you’re a democrat, it’s easy enough to miss ten billion bucks short of a load.

"...the top 5 percent of high-income taxpayers in California pay 70 percent of personal income tax revenue."

Newsom said of state government: “California is infamous for passing things and then waking up and saying, ‘What the hell did we just pass?’”

Look in a mirror, Newsom!

What is entering the state has 1/2 the income of those leaving.

This is Los Angeles, California, Capitol of the Third World:
