Time to give 'the resistance' what they want

The DemocratsÆ ôresistanceö to the incoming Trump administration and Republican-led Congress is quickly taking shape.

The usual left-wing media smear machine is in full gear, taking aim at
several of Mr. TrumpÆs nominees.

But the most interesting action is in California, where Democratic Gov.
Gavin Newsom, the stateÆs would-be savior, is acting as if a foreign power
will soon occupy America.

A couple of weeks ago, he called a special session to ask the Democratic- dominated Legislature for $25 million to create a fund for lawsuits
against Mr. TrumpÆs initiatives. Mr. Newsom has also met with other top Democrats to discuss ways to sabotage the Trump agenda any way they can.

For instance, the photogenic governor has made it clear that he will
continue CaliforniaÆs refusal to work with federal officials on stemming illegal immigration.

The Golden State is one of hundreds of ôsanctuaryö jurisdictions that defy federal law and will not cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Since February 2021, drawn by the Biden-Harris administrationÆs open
border and welfare incentives, more than 10 million immigrants have
entered the United States illegally. Each year, hundreds of them, betrayed
by smugglers, die near the border. A shocking number of women and children
are raped.

The whole thing is a human rights disaster on many levels, but
progressives who see the immigrants as a potential future voting bloc
donÆt seem to care.

Democratic mayors in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia
have pledged to keep their sanctuary status, come what may.

LetÆs take them at their word. All illegal immigrants, beginning with the
over 600,000 confirmed criminals that the Biden-Harris administration deliberately allowed to come into the United States, should be shipped to sanctuary states and cities.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis paved the way for
this in 2022 by busing and flying illegals into Democratic cities
including New York and Chicago. This woke up a lot of people ù even
liberals ù to the insanity of open borders.

New York now has an estimated 250,000 illegals, some of whom are being
housed at great expense in hotels. In March, the city began handing out
prepaid debit cards.

Mayor Eric Adams, who had defended the handouts, says he has had it. He
met with incoming border czar Tom Homan on Thursday to discuss how to work together on the problem.

Mr. Trump can do the same thing that Mr. Abbott and Mr. DeSantis did on a national scale, using federal resources instead of state funds.

How much would you bet that residents of these states and cities would
soon adopt the approach taken by MarthaÆs Vineyard? In September 2022, the DemocratsÆ wealthy Massachusetts island, home to the Obamas and Oprah
Winfrey, quickly evicted a crowd of 49 illegal aliens that Mr. DeSantis
had flown in.

But this was only after residents got photo-ops showing them hugging the newcomers to demonstrate diversity and inclusivity before kicking them
out.

It was a teachable moment for the nation about progressive hypocrisy, and
it helped build momentum for the Republican sweep on Nov. 5.

Another way the Trump administration could bring a dose of reality to
Democrats is to halt federal subsidies for wind and solar power and
electric vehicles, and to overturn the Environmental Protection AgencyÆs emissions rules.

California has led the way in attacking reliable fossil fuel energy and is experiencing brownouts. The average price of a gallon of gasoline in
California as of Dec. 12 was $4.30, with some stations charging as much as $5.65, according to AAA. The national average is about $3.

Despite trillions of cubic feet of natural gas in the ground, California imports nearly 90% of its natural gas. Likewise, the state, which has oil reserves estimated at 30 billion barrels, once produced 60% of the oil it
used. But environmentalists have driven this figure down to 23%.

Instead, the state depends on imports from ôsuch paragons of human rights
and environmental stewardship as Ecuador, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Iraq,ö Edward Ring of the California Policy Center wrote recently in The Wall
Street Journal.

Mr. Ring also noted that Mr. Newsom is pushing a California Air Resources
Board plan to install 2,500 wind turbines, ôeach about 1,000 feet tall
from the waterline to the tip of the blade, to points 20 miles offshore.
There, they will be connected to the sea floor with cables nearly a mile
long.ö

The electricity will be shipped to shore via high-voltage underwater
cables. What could go wrong? This makes about as much sense as Mr.
NewsomÆs other pet project, the billions-over-cost ôbullet trainö from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

Next, theyÆll be building a subway using the San Andreas Fault as a site
map.

While all this is happening, California has not backed off its dictate to
force trucking companies to buy incredibly expensive and impractical
electric 18-wheel rigs. This is sheer madness.

The answer to Mr. NewsomÆs and other DemocratsÆ policies of ôresistanceö
is to force them to live with their bad choices.

That means securing the border while letting ôsanctuaryö jurisdictions
have the millions of illegal aliens that their party enabled ù with no
federal funding assistance.

Los Angeles County has about 1 million illegal immigrants among its nearly
10 million people. ItÆs only fair to give them more of what they say they
want.

How dare the Senate think they have any role.

And?

Which we cannot as long as idjt obeys our laws. Do you think he
should be allowed to ignore laws?

For instance, the photogenic governor has made it clear that he will
continue California’s refusal to work with federal officials on stemming illegal immigration.

Which is not illegal. I thought republicans opposed unfunded mandates.

Since February 2021, drawn by the Biden-Harris administration’s open

California is a Mexico border state like Florida and Texas. We and
New Mexico have not freaked out. The federal government can spend
your money on this.

entered the United States illegally. Each year, hundreds of them, betrayed
by smugglers, die near the border. A shocking number of women and children are raped.

Have you got shocking number of arrests and convictions to back
that up?

The whole thing is a human rights disaster on many levels, but
progressives who see the immigrants as a potential future voting bloc
don’t seem to care.

And this your argument with the 14th: it lets Those People vote.

Democratic mayors in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia have pledged to keep their sanctuary status, come what may.

Los Angeles has to because it is state law. You can reside in
California, register, and participate in our initiative to change
the law. It is part of being a democracy

Let’s take them at their word. All illegal immigrants, beginning with the over 600,000 confirmed criminals that the Biden-Harris administration deliberately allowed to come into the United States, should be shipped to sanctuary states and cities.

The Bill of Rights applies to everyone in the US. Another pesky
law you want to violate.

this in 2022 by busing and flying illegals into Democratic cities
including New York and Chicago. This woke up a lot of people — even liberals — to the insanity of open borders.

Also to Los Angeles. Which is silly since foreigners who want to
go there can catch a bus in San Diego. No freak out in Los Angeles
or Sacramento.

DeSatan is in tough place with all those people walking over their
border qith Mexico.

Mayor Eric Adams, who had defended the handouts, says he has had it. He

New York does what people of that state want.

You want to waste money with Whack A Mole just to own the libs.

They were dumped on the side of the road. The townsfolk brought
them into town and put them up in a church basement.

Winfrey, quickly evicted a crowd of 49 illegal aliens that Mr. DeSantis
had flown in.

How do you evict people who are not renting. The town did not have
resources. The state provided long term housing, room and board.
Because they had been treated illegally by Florida, they got
emergency visas.

But this was only after residents got photo-ops showing them hugging the newcomers to demonstrate diversity and inclusivity before kicking them
out.

They were not kicked out. They were given long term housing.

It was a teachable moment for the nation about progressive hypocrisy, and
it helped build momentum for the Republican sweep on Nov. 5.

Let strangers abandonned outside your town with no way to support
themselves and then letting them stay in church basement until
free housing and food can be provided is 'hypocrisy'?

Another way the Trump administration could bring a dose of reality to Democrats is to halt federal subsidies for wind and solar power and
electric vehicles, and to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency’s emissions rules.

You tried that before and lost.

Brownouts? When? It is Texas with brownouts and blackouts.

California as of Dec. 12 was $4.30, with some stations charging as much as $5.65, according to AAA. The national average is about $3.

California always has more expensive petrol. We use state specific
formulations to reduce the pollution Republican children inhale.

Instead, the state depends on imports from “such paragons of human rights and environmental stewardship as Ecuador, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Iraq,”

And the Angband of Alaska.

Well? What could go wrong?

Newsom’s other pet project, the billions-over-cost “bullet train” from Los
Angeles to San Francisco.

The airline capacity is saturated. Where do you want new airports?

Next, they’ll be building a subway using the San Andreas Fault as a site map.

The fault does not pass through any city in northern California.
There are some rocks near the high parking lot of Stevens Creek
Park. You can look north to see the rift where make Stevens Creek

Because the exhaust has fine soot that smothers lungs. Trucks on

The answer to Mr. Newsom’s and other Democrats’ policies of “resistance”
is to force them to live with their bad choices.

Unlike Texas and Arizona, California farmers are not warning about
worker shortages.

That means securing the border while letting “sanctuary” jurisdictions have the millions of illegal aliens that their party enabled — with no federal funding assistance.
