Now Comes the California Fire Sale: China-Based Company Is Buying Up Land Incinerated by Firestorms

 Victoria Taft

"California Democrats have turned down at least three proposed laws to limit or ban foreign ownership of large amounts of land. Assembly Bill 475 would have halted foreign land ownership within 50 miles of military installations, and Senate Bill 224 would have, had it passed, stopped foreign governments from a controlling interest in agricultural land. The legislature did pass, however, Senate Bill 1084, in 2022, that would have restricted ownership of California agricultural land. 

How silly must voters be to take the following seriously?   . . . "Gavin Newsom vetoed it, saying the feds were already handling the problem. The Biden administration wasn't." . . .

"That’s not what Newsom did. He mocked and minimized the suffering of out-of-work Americans. 

"He doesn’t realize it yet, but he just cut his own throat.

"Gov. Newsom governed over a state that literally caught on fire, was mired in riots, lost 1.4 million residents between 2020 and 2024, and is overwrought with crime, violence, drugs, and public defecation. But none of that stuff is gonna doom his 2028 presidential bid!

"Instead, his downfall will come from something stupid: his social media feed.

"Ain’t that the way?" . . .

California Voters Might Just Be Too Far Gone to Be Helped  . . . "A new poll makes one thing perfectly clear: California voters want corruption and waste to keep rolling—and they’ve elected a governor eager to oblige. For some reason, more than six in ten residents still back Gavin Newsom pouring money into the high-speed rail project that hasn’t laid a single mile of usable track in 17 years—even though most of them know they’ll never actually see it run.

"The project, originally promised to be finished by 2020 with a price tag of $33 billion, has since been bumped to a 2033 partial opening with a staggering $128 billion price tag—nearly four times the initial estimate. Yet the voters, particularly Democrats, stubbornly cling to hope, funneling state money into what can only be described as an unending black hole of government waste." . . .
