My check, my check! Saved, reprieved!
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has floated the possibility to tack a new round of federal COVID-19 relief to a package of legislation which would fund the government past a February stopgap deadline, according to Bloomberg.
California gun shops are now a public nuisance
Newsom’s spokesperson, Daniel Lopez, reiterated that sentiment in a statement Tuesday, “So long as the United States Supreme Court has set a precedent which allows private citizens to sue to stop abortions in Texas, California will use that same ability to save lives.”
Played the Thomas, Barrett 'make shit up', right back at them. It will take years for the Supreme Boneheads to sort this out. The level of stupidity in that court knows no bounds.
The California legislature ought do the same for CO2 polluters.

The senator wants a federal bailout
Chicago cannot afford the police cost of living raises this year. Biden;s stimulus failed. Durbin and pals had been planning a federal bailout for years and are now fucked. I have no solutions for them, they are so fr over the edge they have nothing left to contribute. They re fucked, say it how you please.
China may bomb Afghanistan
Simply as a distraction from their energy system. Most solutions in central asia involve some practice bomb runs over the Talibunnies.

Massive tax battles looming in California
Jared Walczak of the Tax Foundation wrote a blog post yesterday with news that doesn’t seem possible: California — an already high-tax state — wants to double its tax revenue.
No matter how Walczak breaks down the proposed constitutional amendment, the numbers are astounding. It would increase the top marginal income-tax rate to 18.05 percent. That’s 7.05 percentage points higher than Hawaii, the next highest state, and 12.75 percentage points higher than the national median. It would increase taxes by an average of $12,250 per household. “All told, the new tax package is intended to raise an additional $163 billion per year, which is more than California raised in total tax revenue any year prior to the pandemic,” he writes.
It is a never ending process in California. The COLAs are coming and municipalities do not have the income. We are still working with a major teachers contract that was never funded after a series of tax battle losses by the unions. A nightmare of a tax battle and one percent of us have already headed out of state.

Rick Scott passing out assault rifles to crazy kids is quite worse
In her remarks on the one-year anniversary of January 6th, Kamala Harris compares the day to Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
If I had made a horror of a dunce move I would think Jan 6 over Florida massacres.
Trump really didn't kill thousands, killed two in the riots (plus a few others elsewhere). Rick has 17 notches on his belt.
