Commentary

Common sense Americans are all too aware of the losses that impacted California and the rest of the nation last year. The state and federal government ramped up their respective debt and deficit spending on dubious programs that primarily benefited crony capitalist elites. Energy autonomy has been rejected over the last three years, inflation is persistent, the Southern border is lawless, and wokeness is infecting society, while crime and homelessness have escalated due to soft-on-crime district attorneys.
