California Threatens To Cut Off Funds To Washington

With secession threats looming, the state of California is reportedly studying ways to suspend financial transfers to Washington after the Trump administration threatened to withhold federal money from sanctuary cities.

With California counties among the Top 10 who stand to lose tax-payer funding for providing sanctuary to illegal immigrants...

KPIX5 reports that officials are looking for money that flows through Sacramento to the federal government that could be used to offset the potential loss of billions of dollars’ worth of federal funds if President Trump makes good on his threat to punish cities and states that don’t cooperate with federal agents’ requests to turn over undocumented immigrants, a senior government source in Sacramento said.

The federal funds pay for a variety of state and local programs from law enforcement to homeless shelters.

I sent a very similar message to the President Trump url. My idea was to instruct the TSA at all the Kalifornia airports to do a COMPLETE search of everybody wishing to fly out of the state. Much like Israel does. And to put checkpoints at all US highways exiting the state, implement security stations at all railroads, ports, and buses in the state. So it was similar to your suggestion except I also included train stations, ports, and bus stations.

Yep, a quarantine of the state would need to certainly include its train stations, ports, and bus stations.

Trump said, "No More Games".

This is the perfect opportunity to teach these leftist, elitist, thieving, Communist scum bags, who still control the reigns of power in some states, that they've lost and the world is now fully aware of globalist's plans to subjugate independent peoples around the globe.

I suspect if done in stages, just threatening to suspend air travel for travelers with Cali Id., say within a week, would put state officials on notice with the citizens, which would forced them to submit to following the law of the land, even before such a thing would actually need be implemented.

I'd include all the rest in the EO, to be implemented in weekly stages, just in case they wanted to get real hard nosed about it though.

Apologies to our fellow conservatives in Cali who may suffer through this. However, such a thing may be needed for the good of the nation.

Too funny. Imagine what Cali would do when all the Illegals who scam EITC get a mail from the Feds saying their refund will NOT be coming if they live at a CA address.

[Sivad]

That you acknowledge that we Cali conservatives exist
is gratifying.

“Total Pension Debt: $969.5 billion
Pension Debt Per Household: $75,111”

So Cali, which used to be the engine that drove the American economy, is now a trailer with a flat tire?

Suspension of water from Lake Meade

Lake Mead and Lake Powell have been getting kind of low. Cutting off California's share for a few years would certainly help refill them. Lucky for California they've been getting a lot of rain this winter.

If President Trump is smart he will spend 3 years Gutting the federal government of every department. Make it Lean and Clean. Set it back to a Republican Form of government guaranteed in the constitution. Then Spend the last year enacting legal actions to limit the power of the presidency. No more ‘executive orders’ no more ‘signing statements’. The presidency should be Gutted and become a figurehead only. The Congress going forward will be the voice of the people and the senate the voice of the states.

It’s a fantasy anyway.

...chuckle... exactly right.

I’d give them about eight hours after the EBT cards stopped working.

My heart truly goes out to you guys, California leads the nation. Just so happens you're the first to come under the thumb of these liberal elite.

California is a gorgeous state with many beautiful, kind, and thoughtful people, whom I've had the honor and pleasure to have met during numerous visits.

[Syncro]

Funny....lol
The map I happened to pick had that county highlighted

I don’t know why

[nopardons]

None of us are "supporting the Fed taxes, we're AGAINST Gov. "moonbeam" and the rest of the damned lefties' support of ILLEGAL ALIENS !

A #NEVERTRUMPER still; I see.

[Ciaphas Cain]

I was led here by God. That’s the best I can put it.

[LS]

Exactly. Nothing crazy needed. Starve this disgusting beast and make it live off its own carrion.

[Syncro]

Thanks for the lesson in red/blue kid

I don’t have time to explain it to you

But you are right in your last paragraph

My points for years

[datricker]

Dude sorry I stand corrected I live here too. I am hoping they try though. This could blow up in the face of lots of Cali Pols.

[ChicagahAl]

...and then they lose. What would they do then?

Same thing they always do; run to some Liberal judge to overturn the election results.
