Wednesday, June 4th, 2014

Obama's America “How’s That Hopey, Changey Stuff Working Out for You? ” –Sarah Palin

(Market Watch) More than half of Americans (52%) have had to make at least one major sacrifice in order to cover their rent or mortgage over the last 3 years.

In related Obamanomics news, the Employment Policies Institute released a recent analysis of Census Bureau data that shows that many of America’s top U.S. metropolitan areas–including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco have youth unemployment rates that average far higher than the national average of 21.6%

Four of the Top Five Worst Metro Areas are In My Beloved California:

No 1. Riverside–San Bernardino 52.4%

No 3. Los Angeles–Long Beach–Santa Ana 39.0%

No 4. San Diego–Carlsbad–San Marcos 37.5%

No 5. San Francisco–Oakland 35.2%

Feds to Tap Friant Dam First Time in Decades to Help California Central Valley Farmers

Thursday, May 15th, 2014

California Drought

(NBC Los Angeles) Water stored from behind Friant Dam north of Fresno will be tapped for the first time in decades today according to a U.S. Bureau of Reclamation official to help Central Valley farmers.

Despite Central Valley farmers desperate need for water to irrigate their fields, man-made wetlands have been used to provide temporary resting places for migrating birds while farmers go without much needed water for crops.

On the 29 January, I wrote here that California’s man-made drought problem were made worse in 2009 in large measure, thanks to then California Atty General, now Gov Jerry Brown’s disastrous environmental law suits to save the mountain yellow legged frog to increasing regulations and prohibitive costs on big construction projects, that had over the years been a driving factor that created new job opportunities, wealth and prosperity for millions of California residents.

If not for California’s wacky environmentalist policies and want for more crippling regulations that are now driving away business investment, legislators in Sacramento could have helped out everyone had they invested in the future years ago by constructing life saving desalination plants along the coastline such as Israel’s Sorek Desalination Plant that provides 26,000 cubic meters or 7 million gallons of clean portable water every hour to over 1.5 million people.

So Sad! My Beloved State of California Ranks as Worst State for Business in 2014

Tuesday, May 13th, 2014

Texas Continues its 10 Year Historical Position as the Best State
Overall for Business in 2014

Florida Ranks #2 is Edging Up and Even Overtaking Texas in its
Quality of Living Environment

California Ranks Dead Last as the Worst State for Business in 2014

(Chief Executive.net) In the 10th annual survey of CEO’s concerning their views of the best and worst states for business, over 500 CEO’s across the United States responded, grading states which they were familiar on measures including taxes and regulatory regime, the quality of the workforce and the quality of the living environment.

California, New York and Illinois continue to rank among the worst three states for business with virtually no change from 2013

What CEO’s are saying about California:

California goes out of its way to be anti-business and particularly where one might put manufacturing and/or distribution operations;

California continues to lead in disincentives for growth businesses to stay;

California’s attitude toward business makes you question why anyone would build a business there;

We relocated our corporate office from Los Angeles to Atlanta in 2006 largely because of the regulatory and unfriendly tax environment in the State of California. We considered Dallas but settled on Atlanta for customer-related and other secondary or marginal reasons. Would make the same decision if I had to do it all over again;

California could hardly do more to discourage business if that was the goal. The regulatory, tax and political environment are crushing. The only saving grace is that there are still a lot of affluent areas that drive local economic zones but the trend line on these is not good for the mid to longterm.

Texas Thanks California Gov Brown for Creating Economic Opportunities in the Lone Star State

California Gov Jerry Brown Creating Job Opportunities–In Texas

(Forbes) Toyota’s move from California to Texas is huge news (especially in an election year) considering the high costs of operating in the ‘Golden State’ Toyota expects to save big and many of Toyota’s employees moving from California to Texas, stand to reap significant tax savings themselves–for some workers, it may be more than $1 Million in tax savings over their lifetimes.

On the 30 July, 2012 I wrote here that Ansafone Contact Center in Santa Ana were expanding but not in California, instead they were opening a new office in Ocala, Florida and adding 300 jobs there–In June, 2012 I wrote here that ‘Road and Track Magazine’ that had been in California since the 1950s decided to move their entire operation from Newport Beach to Ann Arbor, Michigan

In March 2012 Financial Sense reported California tax revenues plunge as businesses exit “Taxifornia’ in droves.

If Not For Gov Jerry Brown’s Man-Made Drought

California’s Man-Made Drought Moderate to Exceptional –NOAA@Twitter

(CBS San Francisco) As California Gov Jerry Brown’s man-made drought continues, farmers in the San Joaquin Valley fear federal officials may seize water in the San Luis Reservoir intended for their crops.

In 2009 the Wall Street Journal reported thanks to EPA regulations designed to protect the likes of the 3″ long delta smelt, one of America’s premier agricultural regions is suffering from a drought made worse by federal regulations.

California’s persistent drought crisis while made worse in 2009 in large measure may be attributed to Atty General Jerry Brown disastrous environmental law suits to save the mountain yellow legged frog to increasing regulations and prohibitive costs on big construction projects that have over the years, created wealth, prosperity, and opportunities, making peoples lives better.

If not for California’s wacky environmentalist policies and want for more regulations, the state may have instead invested for the future, constructing life-saving desalination plants such as Israel’s Sorek Desalination Plant which provides 26,000 cubic meters or 7 million gallons of clean potable water every hour, to over 1.5 million people.

Similar desalination projects along the California coast line, would forever prevent future man-made water crisis’s.

Yicky! Democrat L.A. City Councilman Jose Huizar Accused of Sexual Harassment

Saturday, October 19th, 2013

Los Angeles City Councilman Jose Huizar –Image Courtesy: LA Weekly

(FOX News Latino) Who can forget disgraced former Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner (aka Carlos Danger) his illicit sexual escapades and lewd chats with Women via Twitter, or more recently Filthy Democrat San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, now there is yet another yicky pervert, Democrat L.A. City Councilman Jose Huizar now making news for his sexually harassing, pressuring and intimidating a subordinate to engage in sex with him to keep her job and advance her career.

Francine Godoy in her sexual harassment complaint filed against Huizar with the California Dept of Fair Employment and Housing alleged that she was subjected to sexual harassment (quid pro quo and hostile work environment) and retaliated against after refusing Huizar’s advances.

While Huizar initially denied Godoy’s allegation, he later conceded that her claims were in-part true but claims they were “consensual” that he “deeply regrets.”

Riiight…regrets that he’s been exposed and that his wife and family have found out.

Isn’t it ironic that Jose Huizar on his website surrounded by his wife and four children (3 girls and a boy–what has he taught them) claims that he’s ‘proven himself a staunch advocate for educational reform and public safety…helped to create thousands of new jobs,’ (how he’s done this is anyone’s guess) as to his ‘staunch’ advocacy for public safety, Francine Godoy may think a little differently about that.

What’s up with these Democrat deviant’s War on Women, preying on subordinates for sexual favors to satisfy whatever prurient desires their small minds can imagine?

Huizar an Attorney graduated from UCLA Law School, before being elected to L.A. City Council, Huizar served as President of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) between 2003-2005 and earlier worked with the Harvard Civil Rights Project as well as being appointed to the Board of Trustees at Princeton University.

What message has this degenerate not only has sent to all of the LAUSD and Princeton University students that may have (at one time) looked up to him but to his own children?

How long will it be before California Democrats Gov Jerry Brown, Congressional Rep Nancy Pelosi, Senator’s Feinstein and Boxer call for this latest Democrat pervert to resign?

ObamaCare’s “Covered California” Will Use Taxpayer Dollars for Propaganda Ads

Thursday, July 11th, 2013

Former DNC Chief Tweets Health Ins Premium Hike –Expose The Media

(KQED Public Radio) One would think there is an election coming up, judging by the way political ads are airing, California Political News reports that beginning in August, the State of California will ~~spend~~ waste $37 Million of taxpayers dollars to promote ObamaCare.

ObamaCare’s ‘Covered California’ ads will not tell you about doctor shortages, the long waiting lines, bureaucrats running death panels, nor will they tell the public that individuals will pay up to 146% more for their health insurance.

Whatever happened with transparency and full disclosure?
