San Bernardino County Board Approves Measure
Of Possible Secession On November Ballot

Original Article

Posted By: Beardo, 8/9/2022 2:47:25 AM

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 on Wednesday to place a measure on the November 2022 ballot asking residents if they wish to possibly secede from California. In the past, many Californian counties, as well as the state itself, have looked into splitting up the state due to cultural, monetary, and other differences, including some measures simply saying that the state was too big.

Comments:

San Bernardino County is situated just east of Los Angeles County, and is the second largest county in the U.S. (by physical size, not by population). San Bernardino County residents are more conservative than and resentful of the Los Angeles and San Francisco populaces. I have lived in the county since 1993.

This opposition sounds more monetary than moral. I don’t care what happens.

This is the fastest growing area in the State, where people can still "afford" a home and raise a family. A few years ago there was a multi-millionaire who had gathered enough signatures to put on the ballot a Proposition to divide the state into 3 parts, but then he was persuaded to pull it. The far Northern counties bordering Oregon have been clamoring for their own state for nearly 100 years it seems. What you see is a state too big and too corrupt to function for most people except those who are in political office and benefit from the system.

Now, we will wait and see if it happens. Long shot. I’ll vote for it anyway. I don’t like California anymore. I think “Mojave” would be a good name for a new state.

A new state of "Inland Empire" would have two conservative senators and several conservative representatives. The Democrats would steal, cheat, lie and oppose this with their propaganda organs in the media. If a leader of this movement emerges, look for this person to get the Seth Rich treatment.

Best wishes to these people. I expect that the leftists in charge of California will find a way to prevent this from happening. But, looking at a map, there are a few more large, desert counties on the SE side of California which could join them, if they are politically willing.

The Fargo Public School Board in North Dakota voted on Tuesday to stop reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at school board meetings, citing diversity concerns and the Pledge’s use of the phrase “one nation under God.” (snip) “Given that the word ‘God’ in the text of the Pledge of Allegiance is capitalized,” Holden said, “the text is clearly referring to the Judeo-Christian God, and therefore it does not include any other faiths, such as Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, all of which are practiced throughout the country and among our staff and students at FPS.” Holden added that atheists and agnostics would also be excluded from the phrase.

A second campaign ad for Democratic U.S. Sen.

Bennet, who is seeking to appeal to more outdoorsy, working-class Americans ahead of the November midterms, went fishing in the new ad, "Reel Focused." Following its release, Axios reported Bennet purchased a 24-hour license just for the day of filming.

After news broke Monday evening that the FBI had raided former President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach Florida home at Mar-a-Lago, the right immediately expressed outrage and warned that by targeting a former president and political opponent, the Biden Administration had crossed the Rubicon. (snip) No matter what Garland or Wray say, no matter what the FBI attested to in a search warrant application, no matter what cause a federal judge found, Americans won’t trust them and they shouldn’t. Four fake FISA applications and the ensuing surveillance orders authorized by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court are the first reason why.

Former Democratic presidential candidate and entrepreneur Andrew Yang on Tuesday condemned the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. (snip) In a Twitter thread, Yang suggested the raid appeared to be “political” in nature and that this would cause the American people to potentially view the nation’s institutions as “unjust.” “I’m no Trump fan. I want him as far away from the White House as possible. But a fundamental part of his appeal has been that it’s him against a corrupt government establishment. This raid strengthens that case for millions of Americans who will see this as unjust persecution,” Yang’s thread opened.

Cuomo wrote on Twitter that the Department of Justice "must immediately explain the reason for its raid & it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation & legitimacy of January 6 investigations." Cuomo followed up by saying a lack of transparency would discredit the work of the Jan. 6 committee investigating the Capitol riot.

The shocking raid Monday of former President Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, stood in stark contrast to the many Trump opponents that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has not raided despite public evidence of alleged misconduct. They include: Hunter Biden and Joe Biden: The FBI has been in possession of Hunter’s laptop since 2019, which contains evidence that Hunter used Joe’s position to conduct lucrative foreign business. He also cut his dad into deals and commingled their funds. Hillary Clinton: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information on a private server she likely used to hide efforts to use her office to raise money for her family’s foundation.

As the Wyoming primaries approach, The New York Times is already preparing the post-election spin boosting the post-congressional exploits of Rep. Liz Cheney. The Aug. 8 front-page headline was "Cheney Ready to Lose a Race, But Not a Fight." Times reporter Jonathan Martin laid it on thick: "She has used the Aug. 16 contest as a sort of a high-profile stage for her martyrdom — and a proving ground for her new crusade." Martyrdom? She's not being burned at the stake like Joan of Arc, even if that's the kind of moral high ground the liberal media coverage suggests.

The Labor Department released the inflation report Wednesday and while any fair-minded person can tell the economy is far from looking up, President Joe Biden has well and truly embraced Orwellian dystopian doublethink and, instead of saying “2+2=5,” declared 8.5 equals zero. While holding a ceremony Wednesday to sign the PACT Act that, in part, addresses the healthcare needs of veterans who suffered illness or injury from exposure to burn pits, Biden attempted to draw a win on the consumer price index (CPI) coming in at 8.5 percent for the month of July. That number was indeed a drop from
