California Story

 There's this talk going on in California....since the election....that Governor Gavin Newsom is reportedly evaluating options for California’s possible independence.

Necessity?  Well....in some odd way....to oppose President Trump’s plans for deporting undocumented immigrants and enforcing voter ID requirements.

I paused over reading this....thinking it has to be 50-percent BS.

Total independence?  Not possible.

If they were part of Mexico?  Well...it's not such a crazy idea.  I could see a dozen reasons why California could 're-join' Mexico.  The cartel folks would be extremely positive over such a measure.  Converting over to the Mexican Peso would be a simple matter.  Pay-scale for LA and SF police....it'd drop by 90-percent over-night.  

Would Mexico easily accept the deal? NO....I seriously doubt it.  They'd probably go to Trump and ask for $100-billion in assistance in taking the charity-case.

Here's the thing....if this makes sense....in 10 years, Mexico would approach the US and ask to be  packaged into the Union....as the 51st state, and California would be re-admitted in some weird fashion.


The Biggest Shocker After The Election?

 Well...a fair number of those celebrity Kamala Harris endorsement moments....were paid in some way.  

Some did it for free.  Others...had a price.

In the end, most analysts say....it didn't help or matter.  You simply threw millions away.  

Four Things I'm Trying To Understand

 1.  All this attachment to the 'Handmaidens TV show and comparing it to reality?

I've watched maybe two episodes of the show, and frankly....I just don't see much of a story to tell, or reason to get all attached in my reality to it.

Since the election....I just seem to see a lot of women who seem  ultra-fragile, and getting all chatty about comparing the TV show to reality.

I'm just glad they didn't pick Gilligan's Island, or Alf....for this fragile-BS.

2.  This blue-bracelet BS chatter.  Apparently, people want to have some way to identify who you are....by your vote-business, and you would be considered 'safe'....if you wore the blue bracelet.

It's some Nazi-identification symbiology.

3.  Some Brit art gallery has decided that if you paint up something....giving it a offensive name....it has to be renamed or removed.

It used to be just painted in some offensive way to get 'attention'....now even the name matters.

4.  I just can't see that many Americans leaving the nation after this election.

Where exactly can you find things that much better?  Canada? Really?
