I expect to see a Global Warming Tax proposed to offset it’s affect on our roads and other infrastructures, they’ll never talk about the deferred maintenance. Media is getting us ready, the news stories referring to Global Warming as the cause for road damages.

I guess it will be the 2022 election, and not the one in 2020, that will cause this virus to go “poof” and magically disappear. Right?

But wait, people told me that Covid was a hoax. Then they told me that Donald Trump had an election stolen from him. Then they told me that Governor Newson was going to be recalled. Who am I supposed to believe?

Trump said the news coverage of it, was a hoax. Facts matter.


Every California governor since 1960, has had a recall effort.


81 million votes for a proven liar, plagiarist, and socialist who barely (and that’s being generous) campaigned? Yes, there are questions.
