It looks like Adam Schiff could be positioned to be California’s next Senator which should worry anyone who is paying attention to his promise to kill the filibuster thereby eliminating legislative compromises, which we would remind him only works as long as his is the party in power. Plus, he wants to “pack” the U.S. Supreme Court by adding four more seats. Schiff also promises to try and federalize elections taking that control away from California voters all while legalizing “ballot harvesting” that can and does lead to voter fraud.

Human rights activist Elena Bonner believed that “Just as there are no little people or unimportant lives, there is no insignificant work.”

John Kerry is resigning as the President’s so-called “climate envoy,” a post we believe was made-up just for Mr. Kerry. But it’s interesting to note that while he jetted around the world in a private Gulfstream, by some estimates spewing over 700,000 pounds of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the focus of his efforts, China, has increased their emissions by 13% since 2015 while the U.S. decreased ours by some 9%. And yet, we are the ones vilified among the climate change glitterati and are expected to forgo gas appliances and buy only electric vehicles despite not having the capacity to power them.

Instead of wasting time and money, trying to impeach the incompetent Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Republicans in the House should focus on passing legislation, that will have a real impact by stopping the flow of illegal immigrants into the country that is overwhelming the services of many states both on the border and hundreds of miles away.

If you think that the Israel-Hamas war is easy to stop and peace attainable with Palestinian self-rule remember that they are a democracy, at least in name, having elected Hamas as the governing party of Gaza. But peace cannot come easily to the region when the Palestinian postal service in the West Bank and Gaza is paying stipends to the families of martyrs, also known as Palestinian terrorists.

According to Publisher Malcom Forbes, “Those who enjoy responsibility usually get it; those who merely enjoy exercising authority usually lose it.”

We’re sure that Gavin Newsom is happy to get another $3.1billion from the Biden Administration to throw at the $100 billion “highspeed train to nowhere.” Originally budgeted at $33 billion to run from San Francisco to LA, and to be completed by 2020, the Bakersfield to Merced leg is still yet to be completed and is being built on existing tracks making the highspeed part of the deal impossible to meet. The rest of the system connecting the Bay Area and LA? Maybe in another 15-20 years according to its Peer Review Committee.
