lawmaker sparks furious backlash after

hopes up for seven-figure reparations

A Californian state senator has urged black residents of his state to be 'realistic' about reparations, a week after the task force - set up to look into the issue - approved its final proposals. The task force has not announced how much they think should be given to eligible residents. Economists studying the issue have argued the state is responsible for more than $500 billion, due to decades of over-policing, mass incarceration and redlining that kept black families from receiving loans and living in certain neighborhoods.

This won't go over well. The libs are all in on passing out reparations checks. Paying for it never crosses their minds. I'm only surprised that Newsom is suddenly cognizant of the cost. He will give them something.....if he has any ambitions for higher office.

So say this reparation thing happens. Do black people who move from any other state to California get a check? What about black children born the day after they are handed out? Do they get one. Is there an end date to this? What percentage of black do you have to be? These dna tests shock a lot of us with some of our heritage. Just wonderin'.......

We knew that once they did the math, they would realize that the numbers they promised were impossible. The problem is that most of those reparations committee members can't do math. The joke here is that black families ruin their own neighborhoods deliberately then are claiming redlining because they live there. The second part of the joke is that there are not too many black families any more, just assorted people who have sex with each other and produce children that they deny. Finally, joke, part three, they are expecting that enough productive working people will stick around long enough to pay the billions in taxes that will finance the reparations. The smarter taxpayers have already moved out. The rest can not find a U-Haul but will be leaving shortly.

Silly gooses, you just don't understand how Californians think. You think that not having enough money is going to stop them? Having escaped from there, I can tell you with certainty that they are going to come up with ways you could never imagine. Like what? Well, affirmative action was your first clue. Letting a certain class of people cut in line, get preferential treatment over all others has all kinds of possibilities. They're not going to stop with jobs and college admissions. How about home loans and preferential mortgages paid for by others? Auto loans? Bank savings rates? Think, silly gooses, think. They're going to come up with dozens of preferential programs that banks, businesses, and everyone else will have no choice but to cough up. And the state itself won't have to write a single check...but the cost of everything is going to go way up for YOU, Reverse slavery is a beautiful thing, no?

At 76, with a paid-off house in a community off the usual beaten path, not enough blacks to stir up trouble, and have a great view, my wife and I are pretty well set where we are. After 20 years of peaceful living, even in my home state of California, we’re unlikely to leave. We talked about it, but here we are. If it comes down to fleeing the state, just before it closes its border ala East Germany, we’ll have to drive straight south into Mexico, and then turn left to Texas.

The "backlash" IS the outcome the reparations crowd wanted. They know deep down the money isn't there (assuming that blacks are legally justified to even a penny of it). The reparations crowd is simply fueling the resentment and discontent that blacks are monetarily owed anything that they know they'll never receive.

Newsom painted himself into an impossible political corner on this one. Now he’s got that 13% who were never slaves loudly demanding money that no one has to give, and wouldn’t if they had it. If they start the rioting on top of it those will be some awesome optics going into an election season. I’ll bet there are some Democrats who would like to give Gavin a real swift kick in the but right about now.

The entire reparatons issue is just feel good pablum for white liberals. Big virtue signalling. Even if California sent a check for a million dollars to every black California resident, nothing would change because the problem is not economic but cultural. An argument can be made that a significant portion of the Black community was never assimilated into American Western Civilization, so it formed its own subculture with remnants of African cultures, bits and pieces of Western culture, and other stuff it just made up. That culture is a culture of promiscuity, illegitimacy, ignorance, lack of self control, and failure. 70% of black births are illegitimate. Blacks are only 13% of the population, but commit 58% of murders. Injecting money into that subculture just makes things worse, turning it into a rich gangsta culture, same as it ever was.

A governor who is protected 24/7/365 by heavily armed security has placed thousands of elderly Asians without resources in even greater risk of beatings, robberies and worse. Newsom has also made operating a liquor store, gas station or retail store far more dangerous for employees, owners and customers. School teachers and students, specifically whites, will suffer the consequences of these denied reparations. Reparation madness will not be in the form of race riots but in the increase in already high levels of crime and violence. No good, not good at all. Or simply, No reparations, no peace,

"Over policing"? That's a good term for throwing punks in jail. If the Black community anted up all the money they stole from people and deducted all the money that other races have done, it would amount any reparations the idiot democrats thought should go to them.

California, with major help from Narcissistic Newsom, has just guaranteed major rioting for the next year, not that the place is a peaceful haven of paradise now. Those of you who have small children at home, try this experiment. If one of them is misbehaving, tell him that tomorrow you are taking him to Disney World, to the beach and to Chuckie Cheese for dinner. When tomorrow morning comes, say "just kidding" and laugh at him. This scenario is California right now.

I wish the citizen of California would ask the governor if blacks should be paid why not make the descendants of the war lords who sold their own people as slaves for the money. I don't know if my ancestors owned slaves, but should the person that sold the slaves to us be responsible for paying back the cost of the stolen goods. Also, I may not live in California, but if history has taught me anything, the US government has its hand in providing the funding someway. Thus as an US taxpayer my tax dollars are paying for this. Finally, if this is paid, there better be a way of taxing it on both Federal and California taxes.

In 2019 the Democratic majority in the House authorized mega millions in reparations for LGBTs on the basis that they had been historically denied the economic benefits of marriage. There are now fledgling reparation movements within Native American, Mexican American, and Chinese American communities as well. All want huge funds transferred from Caucasian Americans, including for lost land, missed “generational wealth,” and business opportunities. Pandora’s Box has been opened. Some leaders promise riots and worse if they are ignored.

Days after opening a full FBI investigation into connections between Donald Trump and Russia, lead FBI investigator Peter Strzok told a subordinate that “there’s nothing to this, but we have to run it to the ground,” the subordinate — a top official in the Bureau’s London outpost—told Special Counsel John Durham. Strzok opened a full investigation — skipping preliminary steps — based on nothing but a brief and “vague” account by an Australian diplomat of a conversation in a London bar, and within hours had traveled to London.

Connecticut Democrat Senator Chris Murphy took a hard left turn into insurrectionism on Sunday. Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Murphy declared that if the Supreme Court continued to recognize the Second Amendment as a fundamental Constitutional right, then, you know, there might be a “popular revolt.”According to Murphy, the Supreme Court is illegitimate, district court judges enforcing Supreme Court decisions are just awful people, and unless the Supreme Court backs off and lets fascists at all levels of government do their thing, some bad sh** might happen. The video is cued to the transcript segment.

Joe Biden is a born political panderer. It’s how he won the Democratic Party nomination, and it played a large role in his victory over Donald Trump. Telling people what they want to hear is a political skill that most politicians possess. But there may never have been a politician as adept and skilled as Joe Biden in pandering to voters based on their race, their gender, their sexual identity, or any other aspect of their personhood that can be sliced, diced, and pureed to create a message tailor-made for a particular Democratic constituency. Biden gave the commencement address to the historically black college of Howard University

You can have all the facts on your side and still lose an argument. How? Because the other side is not bound by facts, they’re arguing emotion, and emotion always overrides facts.

That emotion factor is a big part of why Republicans always seem to get rolled when it comes to policy debates, but it’s not the only reason.
