Not surprising ...

... If that wasn’t bad enough, the president of Glass House of Farms — the company that owns and operates the raided marijuana sites — has a history of donating large sums to Democrats.

Graham Farrar has given to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal PAC and to California Democratic Rep. Salud Carbajal. He also donated $10,000 to Newsom back in 2018, according to a report from the New York Post....

Hunter Biden’s response to illegal immigration

“How do you think you got food on your f***ing table?” he continued. “Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your f***ing garden?”

CaCaLand has been a one-party state for over a decade. Slavery is rampant, just like Demos’ ancestors had it. Only, this time the skin color is a bit lighter.

Just California? What about all the meat packing, poultry and businesses in other states that exploit illegals and engage in child ‘slavery’? It’s not like this is endemic just to California and pot farms in California.
