An entire article on the curriculum that has absolutely no information on the curriculum.  

 

What a load of crap.

GAVIN NEWSOM CAN NO LONGER SIT BACK AND ALLOW THE RED STATE MENACE TO SAP AND IMPURIFY ALL OF CALIFORNIA’S PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS: 

 

The Trump Obsession Comes for California’s Water.

Tomorrow, the Golden State’s Democrat-run, veto-proof legislature returns from its summer break and is expected to quickly take up S.B. 1, the “California Environmental, Public Health, and Workers Defense Act of 2019.” It has been proposed for one reason: Donald Trump is president.

 

Under his administration, long-standing EPA regulations and analyses, and bureaucratic (state and federal) actions, related to water have been rethought, reviewed, and relaxed. Which comes to the progressive Left as a threat: All that water-denying is now at risk.

 

Hence the bill.

 

Its consequence will be to preempt any possible forthcoming federal regulations that would result in people and farms (instead of, seriously, the Pacific Ocean) getting more, already available water. That might even be its purpose: For years, California’s bureaucrats, who are even more radical than Obama-era natural-resources federal regulators were, have shown great determination to deny the flow of fresh water from mountain snowpacks, watersheds, and reservoirs to the famous the Central Valley, which, when supplied H2O, puts fruits and vegetables on the world’s tables.

 

 

As Jack Fowler adds at NRO, “Recommended reading: Two excellent pieces that explain just what’s going on are Victor Davis Hanson’s City Journal essay ‘California’s Water Wars,’ and Charlie Cooke’s NR report, subtitled ‘For the sake of a smelt, California farmlands lie fallow.’”

BIOSCAM: Short on cures and cash – California’s stem cell agency to ask voters for billions more. 

 

I remember when this was going to be the answer to George W. Bush’s cruel refusal to unleash the easy miracle cures that were just waiting to be deployed via embryonic stem cell research. And yet, 15 years and billions of dollars later, all they’ve produced is a demand for more cash:

Californians voted in 2004 to shell out billions of dollars in taxpayer money to fund cutting-edge stem cell treatments.

 

Proposition 71 could lead to cures for cancer, Alzheimer’s and other devastating diseases, voters were told. Actor Michael J. Fox, who has Parkinson’s disease, said in one campaign ad that the measure “could save the life of someone you love.”

 

But 15 years later, there are no readily available cures. And the state’s stem cell agency, which administered the bond money, is about to run out of funding.

 

Flashback: Adult Stem Cells Now the ‘Gold Standard.’ 

 

Related: MIT Technology Review: Will Embryonic Stem Cells Ever Cure Anything? 

 

“In fact, no field of biotechnology has promised more and delivered less in the way of treatments than embryonic stem cells.”

 

In 2004, of course, we couldn’t know how the science would turn out. But that didn’t stop Fox from making a mean-spirited ad for the Democrats. And how bad must he feel, to have flushed (at least) half his fan base for John Kerry?

We see stuff like this all the time. It doesn't move the needle. Not even a little bit. Does anyone honestly believe CA politicians genuinely care about a hairdresser closing her business?

 

Of course not. They represent the Tibs and Qtips of the world, and the way to rule their world is to make everyone completely dependent upon them. Who cares if they have to live in their own piss or pass Typhus to each other?

 

Meanwhile, that woman has a NASTY audit coming her way in 3...2...1...

EVERGREEN QUESTION: What Will California Ban Next?

Starting Tuesday, the sale of plastic water bottles will be banned at San Francisco International Airport, one of the few places they actually make sense.

 

California has many dumb laws and statutes and bans, but this one is especially brainless—spurred by futile self-righteousness.

 

After running late for your flight after a 30-minute security line only to have TSA confiscate your Fiji water bottle, you’ll now have to stop at a crowded water fountain to fill your own metal flask. Or buy an overpriced glass or aluminum bottle at the concession stand, paying another 10 cents for a bag. And your teeth will chatter if you drink through a paper straw. Of course you could risk dehydration instead: Men lose up to a half-gallon of water during a 10-hour flight.

 

Oddly, you can still buy sugary drinks in plastic bottles at SFO; only healthy, calorie-free water is banned in plastic. You can’t make this stuff up.

 

 

In California, you never have to.

San Francisco board rebrands 'convicted felon' as 'justice-involved person,' sanitizes other crime lingo

 

Quote

Crime-ridden San Francisco has introduced new sanitized language for criminals, getting rid of words such as “offender” and “addict” while changing “convicted felon” to “justice-involved person.”

...

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, from now on a convicted felon or an offender released from custody will be known as a “formerly incarcerated person,” or a “justice-involved” person or just a “returning resident.”

A juvenile “delinquent” will now be called a “young person with justice system involvement,” or a “young person impacted by the juvenile justice system.”

And drug addicts or substance abusers, meanwhile, will become “a person with a history of substance use.”

Trump is still Hitler though, right?

 

That’s probably next. I doubt the Left is going to continue tolerating Hitler being compared to someone so evil.
