Golden State Now a Failed One

California Taxpayers Spent $1.7 Million on Drag Queen Movie

America Must Demand Change Before Bailing Out California
It will take hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild Palisades — and Altadena, and Malibu, and the other hard-hit communities. And California doesn’t have the money.

California Needs to Back Away from Radical Environmentalism to Get Aid
California’s Democrat majority refused to conduct basic forestry management and maintain water supplies because of their radical environmental ideology.

California Needs to Be Democrat-Proofed
As wildfires consumed over 5,000 buildings in Los Angeles last week, killing 24 people, Democrats in Sacramento had far more pressing business to attend to: allocating $50 million to attack a presidential administration that hasn’t even taken office yet.

Gov. Newsom tilts at carbon emissions, not fire mitigation.
How the Left Turned California into a Paradise Lost

More Than 96% of New Jobs in California in the Last Two Years Have Been Government Work
