Long lines at  DMV in CA

Should illegal immigrants –who contribute to long DMV lines — vote in local and state elections in CA? The DMV

Latest DMV news:  The DMV  botched 23,000 voter registrations in 2018.

Speak up about long lines at the DMV.  Publicized by Jim Paterson of Fresno, CA.

Speak up!  Use your voice! Here’s how to Comment on  Active Measure 18-0005.

In CA, long lines at the DMV  are due in part   to thousands of illegal immigrants who are legally  permitted get driver’s licenses. Over one million illegal immigrants receive CA driver’s licenses.  San Francisco now allows illegal immigrants to vote in school elections.

Question:  Should  those illegal immigrants also  be allowed to vote in CA local and state elections?  Is it time to control our southern border with Mexico?

CA Democrats recently rejected Republican Assemblyman Jim Paterson’s request to audit the DMV.  And now we learn that the Democrat controlled legislature in CA has  has  special DMV office so the Democrats and other politicians  don’t stand in lines.

So  the Democrat controlled elite  CA legislature  get special treatment for themselves  while  the working class  “masses” stand in long  lines  — due in part to  the  one million  illegal immigrants permitted by CA   Democrats  to get driver’s  licenses. A million plus illegals do make for longer DMV lines.

Spokespeople for Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins did not respond to questions whether it’s appropriate for lawmakers to get special services at the Capital office.  Of course not.

You have until August 24 to Comment on whether only US citizens may register to vote and vote in CA elections.  Speak up!

My view:

I agree that only U.S. citizens can register to vote in California state or local elections. CA has a border with Mexico and thousands of persons illegally cross the border The statistics are staggering.

These illegals are citizens of other countries and their allegiance is to those countries — not to the U.S. Only people who stand in line and legally are permitted to enter and later go through the process of becoming a U.S. citizen should be permitted to vote in CA elections.

Below is the measure that will appear on the November 2018  ballot:  

INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO VOTERS
Elections Code section 2001 is added to read:
2001{a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, only persons who are United States citizens may
register to vote and vote in an election held within the territory within which he or she resides and the
election is held. This section applies to elections held by the state and every subdivision of the state,
including cities, counties, charter cities, charter counties, charter city and counties, and districts.

What’s Palestine? [All Walls must go says Cory Booker]

 

All the Walls have to Go sign held by Cory Booker

Is  Cory Booker pro Palestine? Just not understand Israel’s need for a defense Wall?  Or just  fuzzy thinking? His denial does not hold up.

Senator Cory Booker was photographed holding a sign bearing a pro-Palestinian movement slogan. The image appeared on the Twitter feed of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, a self-described “coalition of 330+ groups” working “for a US policy toward Palestine/Israel based on        freedom, justice, and equality.”

“From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go,” the sign read.

Trump Wall opposed by open borders Booker

Booker, however, claims he wasn’t aware that the sign called for an end to the border wall between Israel and the Palestinian territory, but rather only a U.S. border wall with Mexico.  

“In one instance, amid the rush, he was posing for a photo and was passed a sign to hold – he didn’t have time to read the sign, and from his cursory glance he thought it was talking about Mexico and didn’t realize it had anything to do with Israel,”

Power tends to corrupt, absolutely [criminalize plastic straws]

“We have to regulate every aspect of people’s lives” says Santa Barbara politician

No Straw Man Here: The Mask Slips in Santa Barbara

Posted: 05 Aug 2018 08:52 AM PDT

(Steven Hayward)A little noticed detail in Santa Barbara’s recent drive to criminalize plastic straws, which culminated in the Santa Barbara city council taking testimony from a nine-year-old about the planetary menace, has come to light in recent days. During that council session, councilman Jesse Dominguez said the following in response to citizens who asked “what’s next?”:

“Unfortunately, common sense is just not common. We have to regulate every aspect of people’s lives.”

“Tweets” connect hot weather with suicide by researchers spending your money

   

researchers spend your money examining “tweets” about heat and feelings about life

Tweets connect hot weather with suicide? 

  Based on an  analysis of “tweets” ….    

Researchers at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley predict that climate change will “likely boost suicide rates worldwide.”

The new study, published last week in the journal Nature Climate Change, “found very strong evidence that abnormally hot weather increases both suicide rates and the use of depressive language on social media,” lead author Marshall Burke told Berkeley News.

“This may be the first decisive evidence that climate change will have a substantial effect on mental health in the United States and Mexico, with tragic human costs.”   Tweet This

[RELATED: UC Berkeley study links economic inequality to climate change]

This, the researchers say, can be extended to form the conjecture that “unmitigated climate change” could lead to between 9,000 and 40,000 additional suicides in the United States and Mexico combined by 2050. According to the scholars, this difference is comparable to the estimated impact of economic recessions, suicide prevention programmes, or gun restriction laws.

“That’s an increase of several percentage points over rates today, which are actually rising as other causes of death decline,” UC Berkeley points out in its coverage of the study.

According to Stanford News, the team analyzed the language of more than half a billion tweets, finding that words like “lonely,” “trapped,” and “suicidal” are more prevalent when temperatures are higher, even among “rich populations” and those who “are used to warm weather.”

Firenze Sage opines:   This is supported by “strong evidence”  based on an analysis of tweets.

More likely the study is strong evidence of a waste of other people’s money which flows to pro global warmers.

Stop consuming Chinese made drugs? China fakes data & adulerates drugs

 

China fakes medical data & adulterates drugs

Check  your medications & make sure  that no drug  ingredients are made in  China.  Better safe than sorry.   Stay safe from Chinese made “adulterated” drugs based on fake data.  The following is based on a Letter in WSJ August 4, 2018.

In 2017, the most warning letters for adulterated drugs  issued  by the FDA (see fda.gov) went  to Chinese drug  manufacturers.  India was close behind.

One example:  the anti-hypertensive drug valsartin — made in China — was recently recalled,    One safe and simple solution, many cardiologists  moved  their  patients to a different medication. But what if you like varsartin and want made in USA medications?

One excellent resource in Aptos, CA  is Frank’s Pharmacy.   If  you or someone you know   likes  varsartin,   you can get USA made  valsartin through Frank’s Pharmacy.

China is now one of the biggest producers of drugs and drug products in the world.

Chinese drug  products appear to be   not trust worthy because info about them is   based on fake data.    Radio Free Asia reports that an internal review in 2016  by Chinese drugs regulators showed that the Chinese fabricated the test results.

One resource available through Amazon books and on Kindle is   ” China RX : Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine”.

Can someone explain why one  must pay via Amazon  $12 for a Kindle  electronic copy  of “China RX”   and $14  for a paper copy?   Shame on Jeff Bezos!

anti-white racism – really? Sarah Jeong newly hired by New York Times

  Why hire  Sarah Jeong for NYT editorial board?   Her writings ‘smell’ of  hatred (go Twitter & read) for   various kinds of people.

A rose by any other name is still a rose with a lovely smell.

Not a good ‘smell’ here.

If  Sarah Jeong of  Korean ethnicity made similar remarks of Koreans — as she has of ‘whites’— would the NYT  hire her? Nope.

Seek quality in thinking —not  this kind of ‘diversity’ — for NYT editorial content.

Upcoming Vigils at Richmond CA support Open Borders for ALL illegal Immigrants — Is this what CA needs? Go and decide

 

OPEN BORDERS for ALL  per  Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity

There’s several upcoming vigils at Richmond CA which  support Open Borders for ALL Illegal  immigrants  — is this what CA needs?  What the USA needs?

OPEN BORDERS for ALL is vital  according to Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity.  Really?

How come everyone wants “in” as a refugee to the USA and there’s no rush to leave the USA and  be a refugee elsewhere?  Why don’t we help people stay where they are and — if they leave — help them get back to their homelands, back to their culture, back to the world they grew up in, know and love?

Are  the “welcome the stranger” sermons  — frequently preached from many   church pulpits — used by the Open Borders crowd?  Maybe the persons preaching “welcome the stranger” sermons are the Open Borders crowd.

Here’s some useful info:   There’s three upcoming vigils for illegal immigrants detained by ICE at Richmond Detention Center CA.  Friday June 8, Sat. July 7 and Sat. August 8. Why not go and  you decide.

Why not have a vigil that represents more than one opinion?

Mother Deborah Lee  is the Executive Director of Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity.  Per reviews of Interfaith literature,  this group  mobilizes faith communities for immigrant, racial and economic justice.

This post will update regarding info about the vigils…..

Here’s a list of organizations that assist:   http://abc7news.com/community-events/get-help-with-your-rights-to-justice-equality-civil-liberties/3160977/

UN Ambassador Haley: Most Syrians just want to go home

Posted by Ann Corcoran on April 16, 2018

Clearly The Guardian doesn’t want to hear that bit of information.

Frankly, if there weren’t nine federal refugee contractors being paid on a per refugee head basis to bring refugees to your towns and cities, maybe then a realistic policy could be advanced to care for (legitimate) refugees near their homes so that returning them to their homes and to their familiar cultures would be the number one priority of humanitarian care.

Perhaps if this pattern could be broken now—Middle East wars=flow of migrants to the West—it would be a very important legacy for Trump to leave us with.

Trump and Nikki

Trump and Haley could break the pattern! No more knee jerk admission of ‘refugees’ with every Middle East conflict.

Here Nikki Haley says what the No Borders Left never wants to hear:

Donald Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations on Sunday defended the president’s ban on allowing Syrian refugees into the US by claiming that people displaced due to the country’s civil war did not actually want to leave the region.

When asked how she justified the Trump administration admitting almost no Syrian refugees while also bombing Assad regime targets in the country, Nikki Haley cited conversations she said she had had with refugees at camps in Jordan and Turkey.

“Not one of the many that I talked to ever said we want to go to America,” Haley said on Fox News Sunday. “They want to stay as close to Syria as they can.”

Facebook & Google “own you” — what to do? claim your social media rights …

Facebook & Google “own you” — what to do? Facebook “knows” what you like and what internet sites you visit.  Google “knows” where you go on the internet.

Facebook and Google use that information for their own purposes.  What can you do?

Claim your  social property rights!  What you “produce’ — you “own”.

In the meantime, check your “privacy” settings ….  What do you do to “cover your tracks” when out on the Internet?

Remember that old saying,  “there’s no free lunch ..”   It’s time for consumers to tell Facebook and Google that people own what they produce and ‘there’s no free lunch”  anymore for Facebook and Google.

What say you?

firenze sage–How say NYET [No] in Russian to Iran’s Superior Leader?

How say [No!] in Russian to Iran’s leader re Israel and the PLO:

“Defeat Israel” -   says Iran’s Supreme Leader.

Iran leader

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called Wednesday on the people of Muslim countries to defeat Israel.

“With an intense and planned struggle, they [Muslim countries]  should force the enemy [Israel]  to retreat toward the point of demise,” he said.

Any move to negotiate with Israel would be an “unforgivable mistake”, the cleric added, after Saudi Arabia’s crown prince said Israelis were entitled to live peacefully on their own land.

Supreme Leader Khamenei later tweeted, “On days when escalation of oppression & barbarism by the Zionists, in Gaza has saddened and angered those who care for Palestine, we reiterate the perpetual stance of the Islamic Republic regarding the issue of Palestine.

 “The return of dignity and power to the Islamic nation is exclusively linked to resistance—while confronting arrogant powers and their wicked plots—and the issue of Palestine is at the top of Islam’s international agenda in the face of the arrogant front.”
