Wrath of Dagon Posted January 28, 2017 Author Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) It's just such a weird sentiment to WANT California to leave. I mean, as you type it on your computer, or maybe on your fancy smart phone. Or as you enjoy your fruits and vegetables. Or as you watch your entertainment. Sure, California is the source of all the US's problems. Right-o. From my point of view, it's the source of all of US's political problems, or most of them anyway. It was fine when it was Republican, or even a swing state, but now it's an evil, lawless Democrat empire. WOD you cant use such hyperbole.......you must be using certain just to tease the guys who live in California For example how is California evil or lawless ? Neither of those words can be used to reasonably describe any state in the USA http://www.breitbart.com/california/2015/07/09/7-ways-jerry-brown-and-california-democrats-embraced-illegal-aliens/ Also in the last Senate election in California, there wasn't even a Republican running. Both candidates were Democrats. And Dems are the evil party. Edit: Also this: http://victorhanson.com/wordpress/california-at-twilight/ Admittedly he can be a little apocalyptic.

Elerond Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Time when Teen Vogue is your example of good journalism http://www.teenvogue.com/story/donald-trumps-immigration-ban-excludes-countries-business-ties?mbid=social_twitter Yesterday (January 27), President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning immigration from seven countries, all of which are predominantly Muslim. The countries in question are Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. During the signing, President Trump proclaimed, "I am establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America." However, over the past four decades, there have been no fatal attacks on American soil that were orchestrated from immigrants from any of those seven banned countries. Additionally, according to a report from the Cato Institute, no Americans have been killed in the past 15 years by Muslim Americans with family backgrounds in any of those countries. And it has been noted that zero of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were from any of those seven countries. The report from the Cato Institute concluded that Trump's ban "will have virtually no effect on improving U.S. national security." Incidentally, the same report demonstrates that approximately 3,000 Americans have been killed by citizens from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Turkey. The majority of those victims died during the 9/11 attacks. Those four countries have something pretty glaring in common – they are all locations where President Trump has close business ties. 5
