Lucianne.com links to a Los Angeles Times article which shares the plaintive news that POTUS Trump hasn’t visited California in his first year in office, and so far has no CA visit scheduled. LAT believes this factoid interesting to its readers.
Given that CA didn’t much vote for him (only 31%) and that Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown is forever declaring CA an official part of the Resistance, I suppose Trump’s absence is no shock. The artcle says he’s visited just 29 states since being inaugurated, I wonder if the other 20 states feel left out too?
Many of us who grew up here no longer find CA especially welcoming. The other DrC has almost-relatives who are planning their “escape” to Idaho as I write this. We “escaped” 15 years ago and now merely visit CA a couple of times a year.
California is still expansive, often beautiful, enormously varied, and has the nation’s best climate. Beyond the eyesores that overpopulation has made of uber-LA and the Bay Area, none of that has changed.
What has changed is who is “minding the store,” and who are its immigrants. Where we once had competent governors like Jerry’s dad Pat Brown and Ronald Reagan, it is likely doofus Jerry will be the last non-Hispanic governor we’ll see in Sacramento, if not the last incompetent. Where its immigrants once came from the rest of the U.S., they are now aliens, mostly undocumented.
Questions: Will CA become another Puerto Rico, bankrupt and a mess? Will I live long enough to see its name changed to Alta California? Answers: Yes and No, respectively.
