California Governor Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti
Breitbart: California Is Now a Third-World Country The mayor of Los Angeles told residents to unplug their appliances, shut off their air conditioners, and turn on a fan after 3 p.m. Look at this…
And they call those of us in flyover country backwards… All I know is that out here in the sticks, out here in hick country, out here in the hinterlands, my 3,200 square foot home (if you count my finished basement) is as comfortable, cool, and dry as a shopping mall. A 72 perfect degrees, and it has been at least five years since the power’s gone out, and even then it wasn’t longer than an hour. Who’s the bumpkin now? There is no better sign you live in a third world country than rationed electricity.It’s almost 3 p.m. Time to turn off major appliances, set the thermostat to 78 degrees (or use a fan instead), turn off excess lights and unplug any appliances you’re not using.— MayorOfLA (@MayorOfLA) September 6, 2020
We need every Californian to help conserve energy. Please do your part. #FlexAlert

WNU Editor: California is not a third-world country. But its inability to deliver stable electricity and water to its citizens is maddening. It is also nothing new. I have been visiting California since the 1990s, and blackouts were happening even then. But the situation has worsen this year, and as the picture taken today of San Francisco below illustrates, you have to wonder if God has given up on California, and the Devil himself has moved in.

You could make a strong case for it. The coast of California is rich and inland is poor. With little middle class in between. Just take a drive through Barstow, Bakersfield or Lodi.
The Governor behaves like he runs a third world country. His family is safely installed in Idaho, during covid. And since he (and his aunt-by-marriage Nancy Pelosi) own a winery, they are excluded from closure orders statewide.
L.A. Mayor Garcetti is the embodiment of the pampered Western feminine male. The above pic depicts him aptly. Garcetti promotes the "defunding" of police while ordering stacked patrols to guard his own expansive residence. Threatening and enacting stoppage of basic services to homes whose behavior he deems unacceptable.
So yes. Even if the stereo-typical constructs of what we envision a "3rd World Country" to be are not entirely present in California, the absence of a middle class, the behavior of the government-elite and the decrepit state of its cities is fundamentally similar to say; Zimbabwe.
"L.A. Mayor Garcetti is the embodiment of the pampered Western feminine male."
Words that come to mind: FOP, nouveau riche. Garcetti's family is proof that America is not that racist. Otherwiase his family would not have had the social mobility that it had.
I cannot see Garcetti being an alpha male without his father's job as DA. He has everything he needs to be an alpha male, but he has never had to reach down and try. He could have been one of his own accord, but now we will never know.
Not very impressed with his ethnic studies of Eritrea. An examination of his writings on Eritrea in my mind would show how bankrupt he is. There is nothing post conflict about Eritrea. there is only peace of the grave. As a liberal he cannot see or he will not admit the high degree of chauvinism in Eritrea.
For 10 maybe 20 years many observers have been writing of the split between the coast and inland, California.
30 stone Governor Pritzker sent his family out of state during the COVID scare. His family went to Florida. governor Pritzker also had dozens of workers labor on his mansion in Wisconsin during the height of the epidemic in March/April. Fixing up is 3rd residence in Wisconsin was deemed essential. His family was staying at their 2nd residence, a horse farm, in Florida.
When city workers in City Hall are catching typhus due to homeless encamped around it that makes California a shithole.
Filth from homeless camps is luring rats to L.A. City Hall, report says
Calling a 3rd world country a shithole is not borne of a superiority complex. It is using an objective standard. Likewise calling California a shithole is done objectively. I've been to California on and off since the 1970s. So I have a baseline with which to measure. Also, I have been or lived in many countries world wide. In addition I am married to a brown foreigner. When I write brown I am appropriating the terminology of the pseudo- intellectuals of the liberal elite. So yeah California is a shithole ruled by a neo-feudal liberal elite.
Garcetti was trained by people like Avery Tompkins.

OMG take a look at her!
She is one butt ugly, liberal professor. I am talking about the inside. She or he is not much on the outside either.

Universities populated by people like Tompkins is the water that Garcetti swam in.
It is why Google runs ads saying the will be net zero carbon n a mere 20 years although they have no clue how they will do it. People like Garcetti and Newsom go along with it.

Is it any wonder that Garcetti and Newsom are so screwed up?
Or why given their complete lack of education that they a totally fucking California over.
I'm originally from Stockton and it is an awful city. Modesto is as well. Homeless in Stockton CONSTANTLY start fires. Homeless camps, grass, abandoned buildings, etc. Things are burning every day there all summer. Crime is super high, homeless everywhere, quality of life is low, taxes are high, pollution is high...many of the urban areas across California are really dreadful. It is still a huge state though with some beautiful country side if you can escape those cities.
Stockton is also the most diverse large city in the US (I didn't realize that growing up there). Not exactly a positive story, though it has every reason to be prosperous (world-class farmland, largest in land detail in US, large in land port which can accommodate massive ocean freighters, it's own airport, sits on i-5 corridor...yet is a sh** hole. That's a good picture of much of California... extraordinary natural wealth but persistent and cowardly mismanagement...
**largest in land delta
"world-class farmland"
Maybe there is a reason Boers went to Russia instead of the US other than the racism of Obama and other Democrats.
The Governor is a jackass in charge of a3rd world state. California gets everything it deserves. But it needs 10 times more- that major big time quake that demolishes the coast and librard residents can't happen soon enough......forest fires that burn down entire libtard communities and their residents can't happen soon enough.......gang driven crime waves and gang "states" like in Mexico-already there in parts of LA, SF, Sacramento and other California shit holes makes it a soon to be Mexico. Drought needs to get horrific as does the bad air. Good riddance. Buidl a wall around it and mine the ports.
Is California Now A Third-World Country?
The answer is yes. The U.S. has sunk to Banana Republic status. Here is proof:
New Book Reveals General ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis Discussed Secret Military Coup Against President Trump While Serving In His White House
You guys kill me. Is your day job to stir the pot and fan the flames? You're walking caricatures.
Mattis quietly went to Washington National Cathedral to pray about his concern for the nation’s fate under Trump’s command and, according to Woodward, told Coats, “There may come a time when we have to take collective action” since Trump is “dangerous. He’s unfit.”
- WaPo / Bob Woodward.
There is impeachment. It was tried. The case was not made. So the only thing is to sit down and shut up until the election.
Mattis is an ass.
This virus is no where near as dangerous as they say. The US would have any fewer cases than is the governors of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania did not put COVID positive elderly patients into nursing homes and told the nursing ho,mes they could not test the patients.
This MOTHER FUCKER named Cuomo said that the state had contracts with the nursing homes and virus be damned the nursing homes had to take them.
He said the had to take them without testing, because he did not want nursing homes or people discriminating against the infected.
Theses people should be discriminated against in the narrow sense of the word not the connotational sense. The needed to be quarantined, cared for and made whole. Ass fucker Cuomo did not do this.
ProPublica is not right wing.
"Gilmore said they told her that a resident in the home had recently gone to the hospital, where she tested positive for COVID-19. The resident was set to return to Diamond Hill, making her the first confirmed COVID-19 case at the 120-bed facility north of Albany."
"Moreover, the nursing home could not test any such prospective residents — those treated for COVID-19 or those hospitalized for other reasons — to see if they were newly infected or perhaps still contagious despite their treatment. It was all laid out in a formal order, effective March 25. New York was the only state in the nation that barred testing of those being placed or returning to nursing homes."
Mario Cuomo, a Democrat's Democrat, must go on trial for depraved heart murder, crimes against humanity and every other charge that can be filed against him.

Cuomo did it and Feld Marshal Mattis looked the other way. Mattis has brains of pure shit.
0942,
Fuck off bitch. What is your day job? Curating books on feminist theory?
This is serious business as the politicians not only eschewed sound policy but openly advocated and implemented bad policy
Sure thing, Sergei! Take another hit of vodka when your shift ends, you are doing your handlers proud.
Well 10:29, how come you haven't moved there?
One party rule is a fact in CA.
That is a precondition for a failed state. Democracies don’t fail because of one party rule. They rarely fail at all.
Look at world history, all failed states were ruled by one cabal for generations, same as CA.
Now look at CA schools. For urban kids, among the worst in the nation. For all students, course work is politicized to support the party.
Now look at poverty, CA is a leader in spreading poverty around the state.
Now look at public safety, urban CA is threaten from raging homeless and destruction of economic life caused by one party rules and laws.
Now look at political power distributed around the state. SF Bay Area has concentrated political power with billionaires calling the shots. Nothing passes for laws without the blessing of the oligarchs in Silicon Valley and SF.
CA is on the way to failed state status due mainly to injustices from concentrating too much power in the hands of few.
Come on girls stop fighting!!
Calif is one party state?
no GOP congressmen?
Ronald Reagan is from Mississippi?
poverty? compare to Alamama, Miss., Louisiana on population basis.
Education? compare to Dixie states
Economy? tops in nation
and on and on.
grow a brain
12:14 you live in the past.
