Smiley Allen Martin, the second man arrested in the wake of Sunday’s mass shooting in Sacramento that killed six, has a criminal record stretching to 2013 and last year was the subject of a plea by Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert’s office that he not win early release from prison, where he was serving a 10-year sentence for domestic violence and assault with great bodily injury. Despite a two-page letter to the Board of Parole Hearings urging that Martin remain in custody, he won his release and was in Sacramento on Saturday night recording himself on a Facebook Live video brandishing a handgun hours before the shooting.

10 Biggest Adjustments Fleeing Californians Have To Make In Their New States. Fleeing ANY liberal state.
Jul 21, 2022 - BabylonBee.com
Article Image
LIFE
Hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing California for states like Texas and Florida, but it's not always easy to adjust to life in an American state.

Let's look at the 10 biggest adjustments fleeing Californians have to make in their new states:

Strange wet stuff falls from the sky once in a while. Try not to drive your car into a pole when this happens. Take a deep breath. You will get through it.
People don't say "The" in front of highway names. If you're driving on I-10 in Texas, you'll feel the urge to say "The 10," but don't do it. It's wrong.
You can't wear flip-flops to church. Not even your "nice" Vans flip-flops. Put on shoes like an adult.
There's no need to call the police if you see someone with a gun strapped to their hip. It's OK. The guns can't jump out and hurt you, no matter what Newsom told you back in California.
"Bless your heart" doesn't mean "bless your heart." Well, it might mean "bless your heart," but it's a safer bet that it means "that person's weird," or "you're an idiot," or "I don't like you." Or, it's a simple ending to a statement you've made about someone that you don't want to feel bad about.
No one cares about your preferred pronouns. Go ahead and tell an old farmer in Oklahoma that you go by "they" pronouns. The look on his face will be worth it.
Man-buns are unacceptable in a professional setting. Or any setting.
You have to go into buildings without any kind of official warning that something inside there might cause cancer. You will just have to take the chance. Be strong.
The weather cycles from hot to cold and back again on an annual basis. Do not be alarmed. These are called "seasons."
You might have to make your own choices and take responsibility for your actions without the government taking care of you. This is the most difficult adjustment for Californians to make when they move to America, but with time, prayer (also acceptable in red states), and willpower, you can do it!
Those are just a few of the many adjustments ex-Californians will have to make. If you've thought of any others, please leave them in the comments below to help these poor communists to enjoy capitalism away from their homeland.

San Francisco committee establish by their board of supervisors recommends 5 million in reparations to each black eligible resident.
To be initially eligible, applicants must be 18 and show they have identified as black or African American on public documents for at least 10 years.

They must also prove that they meet two out of eight additional standards — including being born in or having migrated to San Francisco between 1940 and 1996, and having proof of residency for at least 13 years, being personally or a direct descendant of someone jailed in the “failed War on Drugs,” or being a descendant of someone enslaved before 1865...

...The plan also calls on the city to supplement lower-income recipients’ income to reflect the Area Median Income (AMI), about $97,000, annually for at least 250 years....

The committee will make its recommendations to the city in June, and Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin told the San Francisco Chronicle he hopes they will be approved...

The report does not include any estimates on the overall cost of the reparations...

They should tell all the white and Asian err 'white adjacent' folks in San Fran that their taxes are going to be doubled for like the next decade to pay for reparations for the black folks in San Fran..

The proposal could cost the city, which has a 2022-2023 budget of $14 billion, roughly $50 billion, the Daily Mail reported....

But San Francisco is already reeling from a lower-than-expected property tax intake because of the coronavirus pandemic and Mayor London Breed’s office is predicting a budget shortfall of roughly $728 million over the next two years, the Real Deal reported.

5 million BTW, according to an online net worth calculator, would put someone in the top 3% in the US.
5 million liquid assets would have to be in the top tiny fraction of 1%...

To all white and Asian err I mean 'white adjacent' people in San Francisco: Get ready to have your taxes doubled or tripled to pay for reparations for your black neighbors that you have oppressed..
..peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard..

Colleagues worry Dianne Feinstein is now mentally unfit to serve, citing recent interactions

WASHINGTON — When a California Democrat in Congress recently engaged in an extended conversation with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, they prepared for a rigorous policy discussion like those they’d had with her many times over the last 15 years.

Instead, the lawmaker said, they had to reintroduce themselves to Feinstein multiple times during an interaction that lasted several hours.

Rather than delve into policy, Feinstein, 88, repeated the same small-talk questions, like asking the lawmaker what mattered to voters in their district, the member of Congress said, with no apparent recognition the two had already had a similar conversation.

The episode was so unnerving that the lawmaker — who spoke to The Chronicle on condition they not be identified because of the sensitivity of the topic — began raising concerns with colleagues to see if some kind of intervention to persuade Feinstein to retire was possible. Feinstein’s term runs through the end of 2024. The conversation occurred several weeks before the death of her husband in February.

“I have worked with her for a long time and long enough to know what she was like just a few years ago: always in command, always in charge, on top of the details, basically couldn’t resist a conversation where she was driving some bill or some idea. All of that is gone,” the lawmaker said. “She was an intellectual and political force not that long ago, and that’s why my encounter with her was so jarring. Because there was just no trace of that.”

Four U.S. senators, including three Democrats, as well as three former Feinstein staffers and the California Democratic member of Congress told The Chronicle in recent interviews that her memory is rapidly deteriorating. They said it appears she can no longer fulfill her job duties without her staff doing much of the work required to represent the nearly 40 million people of California...

Many Democrats didn't want her to run last cycle. And yes, she needs to resign.

I don't agree with age limits or term limits.

Everyone ages differently.

Term limits, based on experiences in states like Arizona that have them (8 years for each branch of the legislature) only served to eliminate better lawmakers and shift power to the only permanent fixture in the Capitol - the lobbyists.

I agree, sort of. Like just about anything, the answer is in the gray area.
I think term limits should exist unless you serve in high level capacities and/or important committees. Don't ask me what those are specifically, but you should get the idea. Serve in an important capacity or it's time to rotate you out. There may be some other cases where experience is important. The bottom line, you can't ride forever in the back of the bus.

8 years is just far too short for term limits, especially for Senators. And I'd only have those limits at the federal level. At the state level, to each their own. If you want term limits, great, if not, equally great. But 18 years in the US Senate is a long time - ultimately, you're there to get stuff done, and if you haven't done it in 18 years then time to move aside for someone with new ideas and fresh energy.

And California decides to cripple its solar installations. Maybe they will build a few nuclear plants......
California’s three largest power companies have put forward a new plan for how homeowners will pay their energy bills. The general idea is that the cost of the actual electricity you use each month will be separated from the “infrastructure charge,” i.e. the cost of maintaining and building the grid that delivers that electricity. Users will pay a smaller fee for the actual amount of electricity they use but al larger, fixed monthly fee for maintaining the grid.

And here’s where California seems to have borrowed its plan directly from Karl Marx. The new proposals suggests four separate tiers of monthly payments which are based entirely on income. The more you make the more you’ll pay to maintain the grid, regardless of how much energy you use.
...
All of this is tied in to California’s efforts to encourage the adoption of rooftop solar with something called Net Metering. If you’re interested in the details you can read this previous post but the gist is that more than a million Californians signed up for a deal called Net Metering 2.0 which meant the state paid the homeowner for any extra electricity they generated but didn’t use. When Net Metering first started this was a big inducement to get people to sign up for solar. But as the cost of solar has come down, so many people took the deal that many of the state’s biggest electricity users suddenly became net electricity generators or very close to it. In other words, instead of getting money from these homeowners the electric utilities were, in some cases, paying them.

So the question became how to get more money out of those people, most of whom were upper income, who’d effectively stopped paying the utilities for electricity. The first proposal for a revised plan called Net Metering 3.0 was to charge people who owned solar panels a monthly fee for owning them. That fee was just a way to gouge those who had escaped the clutches of the utility companies. It was so unpopular that even California’s green former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger came out against it.

The state utilities board went back to the drawing board and passed a different version of Net Metering 3.0, which took effect Saturday. The new plan essentially reduces the amount that utilities pay rooftop solar generators by about 75%. So before it might have taken 5-6 years for a rooftop system to pay for itself, now it will be quite a bit longer, maybe 18-20 years. At that point it’s barely worth doing.

And if this new plan for a fixed monthly fee based on income does happen, (it’s expected to roll out in 2025) there would be even less incentive to install solar anymore. Why bother if you’ll still going to be forced to pay the utility $500 or $1000 a year (for equity) even if you’re producing more electricity than you use in a given year.
