I dont live in California and dont know the local politics there or how Newsome has performed

Regarding minimum wage, I dont think that should be set by Federal govt, at best let each state set their own minimum wage according to the standard of living. The wage that wont feed you in NY and Cali might make you a baller in Missisipi

Moreover forces of demand and supply will force employers to pay up for top talents as long as things like "Non competes" are eliminated

If you have a skill needed badly, employers will outbid themselves for you

I believe some of the problem with crime and other societal problems stems from the breakdown of the family structure. Its easier for 2 adults to raise children than for one for obvious reasons. They probably have more income, they likely will have stability when one is working one be at home to care for the family. So they kids dont get raised by the street and get preyed upon

No govt can care for you like your mom and dad
Larry Elder talks on the Hannity show about the democrat biggest fear and nightmare.
If democrat Senator Feinstein who is 82 retires with Larry as governor, he could appoint a Republican senator to the senate. That would give the Republican vs Democrats 51-50 seats , when Kamala Harris tie break vote is considered.
Democrats will never allow Elder to win. Expect ballot fraud.

Reminds of the Supreme Court Ruth Ginsburg. She would have retired during Obama time but did not. Clinton had she won would have replaced Ginsburg with a leftist judge.

On Twitter I see people who lose vaccinated love ones all the time but I don't use that to score points.

Some pigs are even refusing treat unvaccinated patient
Comes back to media. There is no accurate data being presented for example
Are people dying of the vaccine itself?
How many have died of the rona only?

There is a big effort to discredit any anti vaxxers.
As of yesterday the FDA gave Pfizer full approval which I welcome . Minutes later vaccine mandates were brought down by democrats.

The lack of information fuels anti vax and rona sentiments. Cancel culture has been brought heavily down to
- Those who criticize the vaccine
- Those who suggest there are drugs that could
treat the rona.

Media is gleefully highlighting cases of the unvaccinated dying.
Details such as immigrants crossing the border and being pushed to the societies without any test are kept under wraps.

Could be Joe Biden and his handlers are upto no good?

You can google "party of family values" and you will see the reference to the GOP
Democrats are at the forefront of any policy that destroys family units. And Christianity too.

Today its just one just giant propaganda machine for the democrats. The media lies, makes up stories and coordinates with other echo chambers to push a narrative.
The alternative media is termed right wing and demonized.

Stop talking like the dumbo Trump is smarter than his generals. Trump would have taken the advice of the generals and done the same. They all assumed Afghanistan army will hold long enough to evacuate but nobody want be guinea pig for Uncle Sam.

The only plausible counterargument here was keeping troops in Afghanistan and sharing the load amongst NATO allies. That's what Tony Blair wrote about, not withdrawing completely.
Trump would have followed that. He has a plan most likely crafted out by his advisors in state nd military circles.
His plan makes a lot of sense No?

You have not explained why immigration is a human right.

You were here not long ago posting links from different sources about how we should not believe the Taliban promising to take care of women and girl children attending schools e.t.c

Okay, the west did not believe and started moving those that want to leave, you are now changing tune out of hate and envy in your heart when you saw them boarding planes to US, UK, Germany, Australia, Canada e.t.c.

Handouts? When some Igbos fled Nigeria and fled alaigbo to Lagos, Cameroun , Gabon e.t.c when the Nigerian troops started moving into the region during the Biafra war. They promise not to harm civilians, but Ibos still fled. I guess the Igbos that fled were searching for handouts too. smh
Never trust the Taliban.Anything they promise can be broken in a second.
Trump says First move out civilians, then equipment and finally the military. Remember when CIA intercepted Osama's aide once in a blue moon telephone call that led them to Abottabad.
They could not tell Kabul will fall? The afghan had US supplied walkie talkies. They never picked up chatter with Talibans?
The IC was ineffective and totally useless.
Embassy staff in Kabul had also sent memos to state department too.

What they don't understand is that whether Biden pulls out US troops this year or next year or 5 years from today, there would still be Afghan refugees that need to be moved. The Afghans that don't want to live when the Taliban moves in would still need to be evacuated.


"After the Biden administration suggested in February that it may not meet the Trump-negotiated May 1 deadline to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs, the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus who had urged Trump in 2020 to “end the endless wars,” wrote a letter to President Joe Biden insisting that he pick up the pace.

“I respectfully urge you to continue to remove United States service members from Afghanistan in the coming weeks,” Biggs wrote, “with the goal of ensuring all our brave men and women in uniform return from the theater before May.” The Afghanistan Study Group’s “call for more time,” he wrote, “is an all-too-familiar slippery slope.” Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, meanwhile, tweeted with dismay that “we’ve been in Afghanistan more than half my life.”

“We need to end the endless wars,” she wrote.

But now that Biden has ended the endless, the messaging is changing, with Freedom Caucus members and other opportunistic Republicans looking to turn regular Afghan people who had been our allies into dangerous infiltrators".
The length you go to trying to sanitize Biden!
If he knew you existed, he'd pay you handsomely for your blind defence of his actions which hardcore leftist Tony Blair called imbecilic.

I don't disagree but there are British Generals saying that when you start evacuating your embassy and civilians, the Afghan government will read the signs and turn tail, achieving the same effect.

I won't waste my time on you trying to prove you wrong because your point of discussion is very irrelevant to my earlier post and is of no importance to me.

It doesn't change the fact that Hillary Clinton did great for women in Afghanistan wasting my time countering you is of no importance to me because it is not the subject of my discussion.
You are actually a conspiracy theorist which is very very true you are still hoping on a sham Arizona fraudit with bamboo leaves from China or so

When I am not watching BBNaija I use my time for better things not wasting my time trying to prove basilico wrong grin
Because the media you read minus the BB Naija thread does not report stuff makes me a conspiracy theorist. I always back up what I write about for simpleton flirters.

With regards to Clinton expand your horizons by trying to prove me wrong. Might be a Damascus moment for you.

As for bamboo, I'm pleased to inform you that they was looking for bamboo yes but most importantly they was reading the encoded printer serial numbers on every ballot.Every color printer has its serial number on every printout for ease in tracking counterfeit cash and govt documents.

They are unhappy that the US left Afghanistan the way they did and have posted links from CNN and other left leaning MSM to buttress how women, men and kids are going to suffer in Afghanistan. They suddenly developed love for Afghan Muslims.

Now that the Afghan women, men and kids are being moved to developed countries to ensure their safety, they are angry grin
I hope you did not include me. I prefer people developing their own nations and not through handouts.
The British Parliament is not happy with the
withdrawal process.

Excellent point - this is what the Obama Administration wanted. Remember what basilico said earlier: Obama wanted the US powers weakened considerably. Myopic people who can't see this, especially those who are power-drunk and who want to sit tight in their roles in US government - including crazy Nancy, Schumer and of course, the rigged -in commander in thief- Sick Old Joe are so clueless, they don't know what they are doing!

We have a catastrophe of epic proportion waiting to happen to the Western World generally. The West as we know it, the bastion of democracy, progress and God-fearing people is gradually being chipped away with sledge-hammer policies, betrayals and internal-hate for all that's good. At the forefront of these evil and devil-incarnates are demonrats in all the Western Countries of the world (US, Canada, European countries) - sponsored by socialists and well-funded big tech companies.

God save us. The end is near.
The British Parliament says it loud and clear.
Biden is Obama 3.0 on steroids.


Several top-level UK government officials have slammed President Joe Biden’s gross imcomptence in Afghanistan, warning he “may have condemned the world to Chinese domination in the future.”



Biden was widely criticized as British Parliament convened to discuss the deepening crisis that’s continuing to unfold in Afghanistan.

Members in the House of Lords blasted Biden for handing the country over to the Taliban with his botched withdrawal.

Lords noted how the Taliban is now the most heavily-armed terrorist group in the world after they seized billions of dollars worth of U.S. military equipment that was abandoned under Biden’s watch.

UK leaders blamed Biden for the dire situation and shamed him for attempting to deflect the blame onto others, including the Afghan military and President Trump.

They don't. The right dog-whistle immigrants with the agenda of spreading fear and hatred, something that comes across in your unhinged posts - a black man writing about fear of inter-racial marriage. Spits.

Obama was the most prolific president at deportations. He went about it quietly and efficiently without causing hatred or any group to be offended. That's what responsible leaders do, not make a good percentage of their citizens feel hated.
That's for illegal immigrants.
We would be correct that he increased green card Visas and non immigrant visas?

Here is a quote from one of them - Anytask:

''Pity Muslims at your own risk.
No matter the amount of care and love you show Muslims, as long as you are not a Muslim, you are always an enemy to them''


''Just a little time, Europe will be terrible with all these terrorists getting asylum in European countries. The ancient eauropeans who faced the menace of Muhammad and his companions before the crusaders push them back to their Asian enclave would be crying in their graves seeing that eauropeans are deceiving themselves with liberality these days. Thinking that Islam is a religion of peace, I pity Europe, France, Germany and England will be worse hit with the terror of Islam''
For now Ill say there are two big factors in play.

The left.
They are elitist marxists and want to achieve total control over the subjects..
One way they achieve this is by dividing the people into all sorts of groups by race, gender,religion,wealth etc.Then they further subdivide those subgroups further. The other way is breaking down the most likely source of resistance - the family unit.
The other means is by mass immigration. Promote inter racial marriages, use racism to browbreat any conservative who wants to retain their ethnic or racial identities.At the end there will no single race, just a bunch of people with mixed blood without a common heritage who can never unite to oppose these elites as a group.

The Muslims
The left wants to use the muslims to achieve their objectives. The Muslim use this to spread the religion as per their founder, until all the world is for Allah They are patient, another thousand years is no problem for them. They are in a perpetual war with the rest.Not all muslims though, but the core of Islam centers on its expansion and dethronement of man made laws.

The left is smug and arrogant. They are feeding a crocodile not knowing they will be the last to be eaten.They will be eaten for sure.
