EDEN—According to sources, The Creator decided it's not good for man to be alone and has created a beautiful helper and companion for him, formed from a rib taken from the first man, Adam. Unfortunately, Adam isn't sure what to call this exquisite and wonderful creature as he is not a biologist. "This is now bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh," began Adam. "She shall be called, um... gosh, I really can't say. I'm no scientist here." He then stammered and stuttered for 10 minutes causing the feminine-looking bipedal humanoid creature to roll its eyes.

And this is being done with the Legislature waiving the 30-day in print rule so that bills can be acted upon more quickly. When did the California Legislature become so autocratic?

Then again, this is the state that's...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) blasted President Joe Biden for being out of touch on Sunday following reports of the president drafting an executive order to invoke the Defense Production Act to help produce material for electric car batteries. “After begging for oil from dictators, Biden is now using emergency war powers to produce batteries for the 1% that drive electric cars.
