State Farm Insurance pulls out of California. Another one of the country’s largest insurance firms will no longer write new policies in the once golden state where wildfire risk continues high and the state’s regulatory and tax environment makes the cost of rebuilding a house prohibitive at the permitted premium levels. Bottom line – we have done it to ourselves again by electing certifiable idiots to represent us in Sacramento. Tragically things will not change peacefully since these policies don’t affect the state’s takers directly, and there are enough ignorant makers to maintain the voting block required to keep the legislature and administrative bureaucrats firmly in Democrat hands.
Dropout Derby time again? Back in the 2019 election season, leading up to the 2020 election, we had 26 Democrat hopefuls vying for the presidency. Knowing that sooner or later the slings and arrows of inevitably outrageous fortune would reduce that number to a manageable few, we introduced Dropout Derby to these pages (here and here). Readers were invited to record and submit the order in which the candidates would drop out of the race. Eight of us chose to enter the competition that ran for several months into 2020 with the eventual winner being Estonian Fox. (In memoriam we sadly note that three of the participants are no longer with us.) Given the number of Democrats lining up to relieve Bumblebrain from having to attempt another disastrous four years, I consider starting another Dropout Derby given sufficient interest and substantial number of declared candidates.
All cultures are not of the same worth/value to anyone living on this planet. However, the progressive mindset has taught us otherwise. Evidence for the inequality of cultures abounds, as measured along any attribute, and is confirmed daily in the news media – yes, even in the leftwing outlets. RR has made this point for years in its arguments on how to maintain the sanctity of our sovereignty (more here and here). Now the latest confirmation comes from the cohort of Sudanese immigrants rampaging through the chambers of the Minneapolis City Council (here). As pointed out before, it doesn’t take much of cohesive plurality in a minority for it to start impacting public policy.
