    Those Crazy California Democrat lawmakers are at it again... rofl...

    California considering jailing and fining waiters for giving straws to customers...


    Calderon, the Democratic majority leader in California's lower house, has introduced a bill to stop sit-down restaurants from offering customers straws with their beverages unless they specifically request one. Under Calderon's law, a waiter who serves a drink with an unrequested straw in it would face up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

    "We need to create awareness around the issue of one-time use plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills, waterways, and oceans," Calderon explained in a press release.
    The actual number of straws being used is unclear. Calderon, along with news outlets writing about this issue—from CNN to the San Francisco Chronicle—unfailingly state that Americans use 500 million plastic straws a day, many of them ending up in waterways and oceans. The 500 million figure is often attributed to the National Park Service; it in turn got it from the recycling company Eco-Cycle.
    Eco-Cycle is unable to provide any data to back up this number, telling Reason that it was relying on the research of one Milo Cress. Cress—whose Be Straw Free Campaign is hosted on Eco-Cycle's website—tells Reason that he arrived at the 500 million straws a day figure from phone surveys he conducted of straw manufacturers in 2011, when he was just 9 years old.


    ​So they are using data from a survey/study conducted by a 9 yo boy.. and they can't verify the numbers, yet they are going with it? You can't make this stuff up...

    And they'd all be perfectly OK with allowing a corrupt government to make indentured servants of us all. Luckily, the silent majority in our nation has awoken. We are silent no more, and we WILL be free!

    More accurate to say, “ what’s yours is ours.”

    As if California has a good track record of spending taxpayers money. Liberals/socialist can't lead without creating chaos and destruction.

    Clean up San Francisco streets, tourist industry pleads...

    California used to be the "place to go!" Opportunities galore, beautiful country and weather. Unfortunately the libtards got hold of it, and like everything else they touch, have turned it into a Third World country. I've seen articles....which admittedly I didn't read all the way through...but the headlines and the first couple of paragraphs stated things like Cal now has the highest poverty rate, as a state, in the nation. Higher than Mississippi and West Virginia? Wow! if that is true.

    I do know Cal has all kinds of water problems. That's where I focus my attention. They have major issues, most of which are self-inflicted due to goofy libtard policies.

    Socialist liberals destroy pretty much all they touch in our country; whether it's people groups through identity politics and policies, the large cities and their inner cities of this country and our states as a whole. It's most of the time a total cluster.

    And the democrat led states and cities fall!

    TOMI LAHREN: Even former Sex Pistol agrees with me on homeless problem


    [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)]Video

    Homeless camps line streets of sanctuary city Los Angeles

    With so many people priced out of housing, wouldn't local leaders want to stop the flow of new arrivals to get prices under control?




    It’s one thing for a California conservative like me to sound the alarm over the homeless infestation in this state. It’s another to hear it from a Punk Rock icon!
    That’s when you know it’s bad and you know I have some "First Thoughts."

    Folks, I’ve been telling you how bad the homeless scene is here in the "Golden State of Encampments and Trash" for almost two years now.
    SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT OFFICIALS SAY THERE'S A 'SURGE' OF HOMELESS PEOPLE TAKING SHELTER
    When I moved here from Dallas, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
    Apparently, I’m not the only one. Enter legendary Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten, also known as John Joseph Lydon.
    In an interview with Newsweek, he shared his growing frustration with the homeless problem in Venice Beach.
    He recounted an incident a couple weeks ago when a homeless man pitched a tent near his front door, for crying’ out loud!
    "The vagrants moved in en masse ... [in] tent cities. They’re all young; they’re all like 24," Lydon said. "They’re aggressive, and because there’s an awful lot of them together they’re gang-y."
    He also talked about the associated problem with discarded needles used for heroin. "You can’t take anyone to the beach because there’s jabs just waiting for young kids to put their feet in — and poo all over the sand."
    Sounds like a nice beach community, huh? Not anymore!
    I’m with you, Johnny!


    How could a state with such abundant natural resources, academia, celebrity, wealth, and technology be such a crap hole in so many areas?
    Well, it didn’t take long for me to figure it out. It’s been run into the ground by Democrats who LOVE to tax the hard-working but also love to welcome and coddle illegals, felons, addicts, and bums.Does that sound harsh? Too bad.
    Here’s what you need to understand about California’s homeless population- the majority isn’t made up of down-on-their -luck Americans who fell on hard times. They are ex-cons.
    Yep, our homeless population is largely comprised of drug addicts who, if not for California’s drug dealer/addict friendly laws, would likely be behind bars.
    Blame the California legislature for this one. Back in 2011, it passed Assembly Bill 109 — the so-called “Realignment” law.
    The idea was to alter both sentencing and post-prison supervision for "non-serious, non-violent, and non-sex" offenders.
    So some of the people who should be behind bars no doubt ended up on the streets.
    But California Democrats weren’t done. Proposition 47 downgraded a series of crimes from felonies to misdemeanors and Senate Bill 180 limits the ability of law enforcement to send chronic drug offenders back to prison.
    So where do they go? DING DING DING — to the streets and the third-word style tent cities infesting our freeways, tunnels and interstates.
    Guess who pays for that?
    I am sick of funneling my hard-earned tax dollars into a state that sets aside $500 million for the homeless and still can’t solve the problem!
    The city of Los Angeles is allocated $85 million to build shelters, but so far the money has gone to just 11 projects and a grand total of 849 beds when those projects are completed.
    Wow! Sounds like a great value, huh?
    According to California's nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office, the state would need additional tens of billions a year to provide housing for the homeless.
    And when we aren’t looking at tent cities, we are dodging needles and feces.
    Enough is enough.
    Gov. Gavin Newsom, maybe instead of showboating and recruiting future illegal immigrants in El Salvador like you did last month, you should come on back and deal with the problem.
    Oh, and by "deal with the problem," I don’t mean add more taxes on top of the already high taxes us hardworking Californians already pay to take care of the homeless drug addicts.
    Folks, if you’re sick of this too, STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS!
    Those are my First Thoughts. From LA, God bless and take care.
