The Morning Rant
"The problem with progressivism is that nobody (or too few to matter) can see what is happening until it's too late. What's happening in California right now, with the main NorCal energy utility having to shut off power to a number of counties due to safety concerns, didn't just happen overnight, but came about through years, decades, of progressive mismanagement, misplaced progressive priorities, and progressive corruption. "Not to mention the festering, disease-ridden homeless encampments in LA and San Francisco. "And this is all on the Democrats. The GOP has not held significant power in the state for years, if not decades. It's been like the drip, drip, drip of stalactites forming in a cave and only now are people saying, hey, look at our ceiling, where'd all those stalactites come from? "So my question is, what is it going to take in order for the Democrats to get voted out of office in California?"
From the article on PG&E and the blackouts: “For years the utility skimped on safety upgrades and repairs while pumping billions into green energy and electric-car subsidies to please its overlords in Sacramento.” https://t.co/dyebIdlp08

FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers This is a stage play "written" by Phelim McAleer (who is also responsible for the Gosnell movie), and I use written in quotes because it's some of the actual text messages written by Peter Strzok and Lisa Page (who were having an affair), read more or less verbatim by actors Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson. Strzok called the Russian collusion hoax "an insurance policy" in case Trump won the election. It is about 80 minutes in length. Politico called it "Hamilton for the MAGA crowd."

The woman is Shirley MacLaine, a decent actress, if a bit on the loony side, and also her brother, Warren Beatty, who is known chiefly for being such a big-time poon hound that he used to get fan mail from Captain Kirk.

This. DJT received more votes in CA than he did in any other state. Those votes need to move to TX (to shore it up and keep it red), FL (same reason), and the upper mid-west (to turn it more purple and eventually red).

Right. In a vacuum like has developed in CA, I don't see a good opposition alternative. I fear the progression is:
1) Create a monolithic one-party state
2) That party starts fowling up slowly.
3) Eventually, the badness accumulates into serious, persistent, systemic problems.
4) The political monoculture has no real opposition, and so goes unchecked
5) Some people see a problem but cannot finger the source, and so begin leaving for greener pastures. Too often, however, they bring the rot with them because they don't fathom the causality because of the slow burn leading up to the failure.
6) More extreme versions of the monoculture displace the less extreme versions, repeatedly raising the stakes and doubling down on failure
7) Exodus intensifies, resulting in more extreme knock-on effects in neighboring regions
Continued regression and eventual collapse
9) If everyone involved is very lucky, the monoculture is shattered and recovery can begin after plumbing previously unconsidered depths.
CA (and the Interior West) is at step 6. The rest of the Interior West will be lost as we move into step 7, as CA has a nearly inexhaustible reserve of people when viewed in the context of the populations of the rest of the region. They can overrun basically everyone.
CO is gone. NM is probably gone. ID will probably be gone within five years. AZ will be gone within 5 years at the outside, probably sooner. WY and OK will probably survive, only because they're unpopular, though OK may be at risk if insane cities like Tulsa keep actively courting migrants from CA. TX might fail but is so huge that it might survive. TX odds are probably better than a coin flip, but not by much.
I think the electoral vote outlook in the Interior West is damned bad. Republican resurgence in the Midwest, Upper Midwest and Upper South might be able to check it.

Well, I think the Dem politicos will avoid the heads on pikes scenario by simply claiming allegiance to Hugemongous and insisting that he is the True Democratic Leader of the State. The MSM will back them up, so it will all be good.
Of course, the men in San Fran had best hope that Hugemongous is not Muslim.

The proximate cause of this rolling blackout stuff is the state legal system putting PG&E on the hook for all wildfire damages (or potentially so). As far as I can tell, it's not really that PG&E spent too much on wind mills or solar panels as opposed to another coal power plant or whatever.
I mean sure, in retrospect, probably PG&E should have spent more directly bribing California legislators to get their wildfire liability capped, but expenditures on solar and "renewables" were similarly intended to buy goodwill as direct bribes they just didn't work as intended.

CO is gone. NM is probably gone. ID will probably be gone within five
years. AZ will be gone within 5 years at the outside, probably sooner.
WY and OK will probably survive, only because they're unpopular, though
OK may be at risk if insane cities like Tulsa keep actively courting
migrants from CA. TX might fail but is so huge that it might survive. TX
odds are probably better than a coin flip, but not by much.

I forgot about MT. ID (Boise) is a huge target from WA. WA is less far along than CA, so some of the exodus are probably republicans but ID has such a small population that it's pretty easy to overrun it. The loss of reps in the source states are easily overcome but the gain in senators from the flip states.
CA flipped CO. I suspect that after the census, CO is going to pick up a rep and CA will lose one. When that happens, CA will have lost one electoral vote but the Dems will have picked up *ten* in CO on a permanent basis.

During the big broohaha, it was all, "We're going to be in a depression for ten years."
Now, it's all, "British citizens with homes in Spain are going to be inconvenienced by owned homes in two countries!"
It's upper-middle class inconveniences that seem to be driving his disdain for Brexit. I find that amusing.

These states keep borrowing money (no it's not borrowed money, it's bonds!) and spending it on useless frivolous stuff, then borrowing more and renegotiating & extending their repayment plans into the future indefinitely. Because the money for the repayment is backed by tax revenues, bond houses keep supplying them with more money.
This really is a junkie and his fix situation, and the fix is backed by government. Not at all surprising the leftist paradises like CA are also supporting actual junkies and their fixes.
At some point the bankrupt states are going to demand a federal bailout. If they get it, it's game over, the US $ can't keep taking hits and getting devalued to the point of worthlessness.
States are going to have to be permitted to declare bankruptcy and eliminate their debts, and cut loose the bond houses and grifters.
It is apparently human nature to want a free lunch and the entire democrat party is now devoted to that concept.

Thanks to Ben Had and Bluebell, we had some amazing swag to raffle off, raising almost $150 for the ACS Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk (this coming next Saturday)(and which becomes more ironic now):
https://tinyurl.com/yd65da8k
MIL Update: The good news is that she's scheduled for ankle surgery this afternoon (both were broken in the accident, the maximum number available).
/sigh
So the Trauma NP comes in yesterday (Sunday) and says "M, when you got here we noticed a wound on/in your chest that we initially thought was accident-related. But it's acting strangely for that, have you had it a while?"
MIL: Yes, about a year.
(Oy)
Trauma NP: Did you discuss this with your doc?
\MIL: No, it just didn't seem very important.
(Me looking at mrs ibguy: what's the name of that river in Egypt?)
Trauma NP: Well, we got your records and you had a mammogram last year that came back fine, but we did an ultra-sound on this and there's a high suspicion that it's breast cancer.
MIL: Oh.
(Me to mrs ibguy: oh, *sh*t*).
So they're going to do a biopsy today to confirm, but we're not optimistic.
Also: T (boyfriend) appears to be sliding. Yesterday and Saturday his family has waved us off when we stopped by (he's about 6 doors away in the ICU).

When a Cali cops fires on ICE, there's your Ft. Sumter moment. Declare California to be in a state of insurrection, and send in the Army. Arrest Newsom, and the entire Democrat caucus, quick military trial for treason, and shoot them. All of them.
Revert California to Territorial status, install a military governor. Use this time period to do a Pinochet on Leftist shit disturbers in the academic and corporate world. Any riots? Put them down with extreme bloodshed.

California vacuumed up leftists who were previously distributed all over the country, in effect organizing them into a latter day Golden Horde that now, having shit the bed here, is breaking out and spreading the disease elsewhere.
Nothing infuriates me more than encountering a leftist here who talks about wanting to leave.

But before that, we have to remove our own narco-state tendencies (DeepState mafia). The current crudeness of the Dems is banana republic like, but the DeepState is a more powerful and globalist version of Banana Republic.
They have a more refined control from the top ... their criminals don't get prosecuted,and they have a whole compliant media to tell US to shut up about the corruption, it's for our own good. Remove DeepState, take back the schools ... then the leftist Dem party dies, Liberty is back on Track. Easy Peazy.

I believe Trump should be trying to induce California to declare bankruptcy early enough in his presidency so that he can say no to a bailout long enough for actual change to manifest.
What that change would be, I do not know, but a federal government refusing to bail out California because of its profligacy could lead to serious structural changes in California that could bring about some sanity.

It is a comfortable Republican state now, but after a few more years of intense migration from the strongholds of Seattle and N. California, it won't be. It has a small population that will be easy to swing. Colorado is the blueprint. This went from a red state to a permanent blue state in less than a decade and it had a relatively large population for the Interior West.

That's because we see Colorado as California circa 1980, and know all too well where it's going.
And btw, it's not "Californians;" it's "former California residents," most of whom only moved to California relatively recently.
It's annoying to me because it's like the MSM saying a [state name here] man was involved in some atrocity (terrorist or gang-related), when in fact the scum just shook the dust of the Middle East or Latin American country off of his stinky feet a year or two ago.

It's also an incubator for crazy policy. As long as CA remains as is politically, you will have people like Newsom pioneering the latest crazy ideas, that will then be championed by his friends in other states.
Just look at what he's been doing --- while in the middle of an energy crisis/massive blackouts: colleges must provide abortion pill, no lunch-shaming (kids free lunch for all), college athletes get paid for likeness, and on and on.

I mentioned on the book thread back in April:
The Fall of Wisconsin: The Conservative Conquest of a Progressive Bastion and the Future of American Politics:
"The Fall of Wisconsin is a deeply reported, searing account of how the state's progressive tradition was undone and Wisconsin itself turned into a laboratory for national conservatives bent on remaking the country. Neither sentimental nor despairing, the book tells the story of the systematic dismantling of laws protecting the environment, labor unions, voting rights, and public education through the remarkable battles of ordinary citizens fighting to reclaim Wisconsin's progressive legacy."

Conservative Californians are well aware of this, one reason that we, for example, crossed Austin off our list, and are having doubts about Texas as a whole. We previously crossed Arizona off the list because it's clearly on the turn already.

Austin is the top of our list - well, Cedar Park but we figure we will try to do our part in keeping TX red.

But with some education on the blessings of Liberty, they can be shown a better way. America still has a lot of the old heritage, and it has taken massive effort (Soviet, then Deep State, China even, BigMoney, etc.) ... massive effort totake over our institutions and run constant propaganda campaigns.
The truth will make you free ... light dispels darkness ... the whole Red Pill concept. Our government has funded the cocaine of socialist nirvana, and everything is paid for by invisible/infinite debt ... for now.
Santa Claus the Socialist is using the children's credit cards ... some sort of default will be the answer, unless they go full commie via printing their way into infinite spending forever. I think that breaks all currencies at some point ... then either a new globalist currency (if the bad guys win), or we default and start over (reset, cold fusion, jubilee, whatever). tick tock

It's not just the illegal aliens, it's the weather. It's our blessing, it's our curse. Notice that North Dakota doesn't have our problem with vagrants, leftist vermin, and other scum.

Brings up multiple different issues in this country, insinuates that AR-15 owners are mass killers, mentions that he wasn't asked uncomfortable questions over there, says we all have issues to address, and let's not bring them all up.
Oh, and it's his right to say all this as an American.
He's right.
He's a helluva guy, ain't he?

We'll hear the endless BS line about how California and other deep blue states send more money to the feds than they get back, and how indispensable CA is to the health of the nation.
And the GOPe will parrot that tune while pretending to care so much about deficit spendin.

In my lighter moods - which are rare, but do occur - I hope for what would in effect be a deus ex machina solution. Something that blows the lid off of the entire Democrat Party, and reveals beyond any dispute their breathtaking perfidy.
I live in hope that Barr and/or Durham comes up with the smoking gun that has this effect.
Yeah, I'm a dreamer.

Maybe, but for sure it would lead the pustule to burst and spread leftists all over the country. It'd look like the break in billiards. And they wouldn't go back to the liberal hellholes they came from. No, they'd look for fresh hosts. We need to do something about that.

Hope is normal. I also hope I will win the lottery, and be able to build my own volcano lair some day.
As long as you don't expect your hopes to materialize, you're being realistic.

The CNN-listeners in California and quite a few of the appartchiks will have to lose faith in the Democrats and MFM for that to happen. Learning what their unwavering support is actually enabling could do that. (Epstein Island being a tiny, but powerful example)

--------
"Hope springs eternal in every human breast" --Alexander Pope
I am as cynical as any here, but to embrace defeat is certain loss. I occasionally quote Stan Rogers 'Mary Ellen Carter' lyrics:
And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again
Rise again, rise again!
Though your heart it be broken and life about to end
No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend
Then like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again!
----
The tune, performed by Stan Rogers, if you've never heard it: https://tinyurl.com/y9rxcduc
