"Certainly, there very crafted ways to rip off the public. The latest one I've learned about is the LAMP document that was government crafted and will raise the cost of a septic system in Santa Margarita to about $75K. Surely one might understand the issue if well founded but when this program exceeds the State Standard and was crafted under the clouded lingo of buzz words to avoid public involvement, it is easy to surmise the word nefarious. Unless you are already up to speed, check it out. Ya, I know, it doesn't affect you and gov knows that."

"I'm thinking it's gonna be awhile before that (likely) unserialized P80 finds its way back to its "lawful" owner, like maybe never. I'm also wondering if Jordan/Pirates baseball caps make one a suspected gang banger."

"Gee, you don't suppose Iran had anything to do with it? This is the predicted international bubble in response to the Strait Of Hormuz being shutdown.
Unlike Biden, Obama, and Newsom who purposely shut down oil production in order to hurt the oil industry.
California gas went up, when Valero announced their refinery will close. It also shot up, when Phillips 66 closed their refinery, directly due to Newsom's energy policies. How was that Trumps fault?"

"It was, for a short while, the gem of the fertile farmlands. Back then, it was called "Central City", for being in the middle of LA and SF. People flocked to it, for the rich culture of farming and ranching, even Hollywood made several Western style movies in the area. Even Casmalia was thing!"

"Reagan had no choice, but to end federal money going to STATE mental programs, due to federal legislation signed by Carter. Obviously, states did not pick up the remainder needed to keep mental health facilities open, which created the bloom in homeless nutcases loose on society."

"It is up to voters and opponents to vette candidates. If candidates fail to due opposition research and publicize the findings they are running a weak campaign. Nobody with sense is going to make statements that don't serve their interests. I'm a strong Conservative but the California Republican Party is weak as an organization, poor at helping candidates organize campaigns and craft successful strategies and MIA when it comes to fundraising. Thus, candidates are perceived poorly due to a lack of organizational support."

"We need to clean house with just about all of our government officials. From local all the way up to congress, SCOTUS, and POTUS. It’s a nasty swamp that’s needs a clean out for generations now."

"Excellent letter outlining how the political class should respect the voters enough to tell them who they really are when running for office. Kris “the lawless” Beal never stood for much of anything when she ran for her seat! She now has outed herself as a left winger who does not value the Oath she swore. She needs to pay a price for her reckless and support for lawlessness. She should never be reelected. You have an opportunity this November to send her packing."

"So if you work in government and steal around $160,000 from the taxpayers, first if you get caught, which is unlikely to start, your consequences will be to just pay back the money you stole, no interest or penalty, likely be able to use money from the bankrupt pension system, less than a year in jail, which can likely be served on weekends and eventually will some type of release program, so maybe at the most 6 months of weekends in jail and 6 months of wearing a ankle monitor. No financial penalty for stealing above what you stole, no prevention from working in government again, no real jail time, so basically no deterrent for you to not steal again and no deterrent to anyone else in government from stealing. Yeah that's government for you. ."
