Andy! A SIMILAR THING happened MANY YEARS AGO to Lompoc! Back in the day when the POSER Joyce Howerton was Mayor of Lompoc, SHE diverted the WHOLE DEVELOPMENT PLAN of Lompoc to involve ONLY public housing development OWNED BY a Surf Development Corporation (supposedly---a nonprofit?) AND SINCE SHE WAS MAYOR those public housing developments, controlled and owned by her friends and FULLY FUNDED BY PUBLIC MONEY, are the ONLY SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT we have had in Lompoc!!!
Additionally, the CONTROL of the Local Agency Formation Commission by Salud Carbajal's DAUGHTER has KEPT all the HIGH-DOLLAR property taxes from the very affluent areas AROUND LOMPOC going directly to Santa Barbara County---and we ALL SEE what Santa Barbara County DOES with all that money! They LITERALLY throw it away on unnecessary HUGE SETTLEMENTS to LAWYERS!
Honestly, Andy, the GRIFT and GRAFT these Lib/Progressive candidates have created and maintained is THE MOST UNTENABLE Government Model this Nation has EVER seen, in my opinion.
Great article Andy, this is the problem when it becomes one party rule. It becomes a system of no checks and balances. People like J. A. above refuse to see their own hypocrisy and the damage they inflict on us all by letting their TDS not just cloud their judgement, but eclipse their whole sense of right and wrong. The bigger take away from your article is that they have taken away our chance of getting someone in charge of our schools, (via fiat )that could actually start to reform them by taking power away from the teachers union. The fact that the governors choice must be confirmed by the Senate also means that if even Steve Hilton were to be elected as governor, his appointee would never be confirmed. Therefore, we may never see reform in our school system here in California and therefore we will continue to turn out brain dead libtards such as J. A. California has such a dark road ahead. 😔
I just want to send a heartfelt SHOUT OUT to Christy Lozano for sounding off, standing up and standing out in this FIGHT TO SAVE THE MORAL FIBER and chastity of OUR CHILDREN! This is serious! The Libtards are trying to NORMALIZE BEASTIALITY and teach the practice of it (((serruptiously))) to OUR YOUTH! Protect our children and guard their VIRTUE!!! 🙏🏼❤️🤍💙🙏🏼
Let's rescind the Prop 98 billions flowing into K-12 every year, with just a governor's signature. Then we can make progress. In fact we just might attach student performance goals to that current free flow of unaccountable billions of dollars to K-12. Voters, this is in your hands.
Absolutely! And they JUSTIFY their abhorrent behavior in that! Just last week THE LIBS IN #LOMPOC violated my Civil Rights to speak in public! A couple dirty cops --- who, I suspect, are on the take --- intimidated me and threatened arrest if I spoke at the City Council Meeting in Lompoc(!) People! The battle is heating up in North County! Help! 🙏🏼❤️🤍💙🙏🏼
As per the title of the article, just wondering, how does one define a “MAN” in today’s social construct? “Non-childbearing human,” “Uterusless human,” “Human with penis?” I bet even SCOTUS Justice, KJB would struggle with this issue!
Amazing how crooked California Democrats can get ahead of all the billions in stolen funds, abuse and corruption by simply making it illegal to investigate them! Just ask Nick Shirley how the investigator becomes the investigated. Sure, just get AG’s Rob Bota’s wife, Mia Bota to introduce AB 2624 making it illegal to investigate NGO’s and make this all go away.
Funny how the liberal left struggles with these issues and goes through their own version of mental gymnastics in order to rationalize this…as evidenced by some of the stupid comments made today!
Guard against mob rule, is how you keep the Republic.
OWS, BLM, Indivisible, No Kings and now DSA are all mobs, demanding 100% fealty or else. Solely for Democrat party political gains. Too ugly to even countenance.
Teachers unions do not want to lose their need for new cohorts of K-12 student replacements, which in turn keeps teacher memberships dues permanently sustainable. That is why Democrats created sanctuary cities, after first supporting open borders. High birth rates, continuously filling failing K-12 classrooms is their bread and butter.
Please note that the word “democracy” appears nowhere in our Declaration of Independence or in the U.S. Constitution and intentionally so. Our Founders feared democracy which would result in the tyranny of the majority, as we have recently witnessed in New York City. Actually, the reason the Left constantly pushes “democracy” is that it is their path to communism. Berney
If we’re going to be yoking candidates and office holders with the communist label, perhaps we should refresh our understanding of what communism actually is, how it differs from socialism and just what do these Democratic Socialists stand for. What do you think Bernard?
Well, are there any solutions that can be employed to address these issues following Andy's lucid commentary and the discussions below, when we have no levers of power in the state and local governments of California?
Even if a Republican wins the governorship, his power will be limited by the absolute power Democrats have in the two houses of government. And, when Democratic party registered voters have a two to one majority over Republican voters.
There is a solution somewhere out there, but it needs to be identified and pursued with greater dedication, intelligence and strength by a new group of visible Republican party members dedicated to recruiting new Republicans to fight the good fight until they are successful.
Without commenting on the situation in Santa Barbara and California, I thought after reading the first few paragraphs of this that a description was being given of the Trump administration.
The first few paragraphs are a good reminder of why we revolted against our last king. How did you not find space to enumerate wannabe king President Trump's violation of the Constitution and business law, and pardoning thousands of violent insurrectionists and common criminals while continuing to waste time and taxpayer money with his fraudulent claims about the 2020 election?
Long live King Trump - _the_ best president ever! Oh,I mean the 2nd best - I forgot about President Kamala Harris. Can you imagine that moron as our country's leader?
China participated severely to influence our 2020 election, wasn't that just proven? But look at how National Policy on Immigration (or rather LACK OF IT, or enforcement of it) affected our local communities! Because the men who were illegals and picked up regularly by our local police COULD NOT BE DEPORTED (***and should have been***) we have the murders of Marilyn Pharis and Marlon Brumfield in North County. One resident was a servicemember and retiree (who was tortured before being murdered) and the other was a young servicemember who was getting ready to attend college! Those are BIG LOSSES. 🙏🏼❤️🤍💙🙏🏼
JA: No, that is not called America First. It called the normal give and take of US politics and separations of powers, including an evolving role for the judiciary. It is an exercise in productive checks and balances.
You want Trump to be a shallow megalomaniacal cult, but in the process you continue to miss the fundamental change going on deep within American today. America First takes us back closer to our original roots, and far away from the past 50 years of deep state and government employee union collectivisms and tyranny. Your intentional misperceptions are your tell.
I SEE freaks who want to APOLOGIZE for Organized Crime and promote the molestation of boys by men in our society by trying to normalize beastiality in our Culture! It was over 5 years ago now that WE SAW SOME FREAKISH "NONPROFIT" in Santa Barbara, from Santa Barbara, GET PAID to REWRITE the Sexual Education Curriculum to TEACH ANAL SEX IS A FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL!!! THAT happened! And thank God my neighbor and good friend, M. Ries, saw a draft version of this document and (((flipped out on the County Superintendent of the County Education Office so bad))) "they" tanked that idea. But yeah---it was written into the Curriculum! 🤬
So exactly what local Corruption is Tom Parker warning us about in Santa Barbara"
How bad is it? Who is involved? What happened to those with "Malfeasance At The Highest Level"
Read here in What Corruption does to the Average Citizen>
"It hurts ordinary Americans in concrete ways, and the risk has never been greater given today’s unprecedented mixing of private wealth with political power."
sad to observe the malfeasance is on both sides of the aisle. The country has become corrupt. The choice today is simple: "my malfeasance is better than yours". A debatable and disappointing proposition at best.
Actually what you dismissively call "our malfeasance" is far better than the past few decades of your malfeasances.
I will take our DOGE and internal government fraud evisceration any day over, what you people keep misrepresenting as "tax benefits only for billionaires" or only 'funding a US war machine". It really boils down to our fiscal priorities and execution differences.
You protect the funding the deep state regardless of brazen exposures of tax dollar waste fraud and abuse. While we want more control over what we earn and keep for ourselves, and how we expect our government to spend wisely in our own names. We call it stoping EBT fraud, and you call it ripping food from babies mouths. (Sigh)
Whose money is it? Your or ours? And how much to share for agreed common purposes. Somewhere in-between the 100% OPM-supported nanny state or strict libertarianism. Once we stop accusing the other side of either hysteria and excess, there is room for more dialogue.
However, the current Democrat response ... "everyone is a crook" . ... is only weak partisan attempt to neuter both blame and solutions.
Thank you for all the accusations, they are wide of the mark. Malfeasance is malfeasance. I took no side and offered no view, just commented on the ever presence of malfeasance. I find it interesting that if he is not with us he is against us, style. At some point truth, integrity and honesty will return to our world. We, I trust ,will get tired of the lies.
Stop dumping MSM, Obama, Clinton, Biden and Harris on us, and I will be happy join you in utopia. In the meantime, politics is the art of the possible. You imght need to look elsewhere for religious succor?

So much for Democracy. California Democrat's/Progressives are the true modern day Tyrant's. They desire absolute power by any means necessary.
DSA recruits are now sounding the alarm: DSA is acting like cult, demanding 100% fealty to their few leaders.
Absolutely! And they JUSTIFY their abhorrent behavior in that! Just last week THE LIBS IN #LOMPOC violated my Civil Rights to speak in public! A couple dirty cops --- who, I suspect, are on the take --- intimidated me and threatened arrest if I spoke at the City Council Meeting in Lompoc(!) People! The battle is heating up in North County!

The only hope is for Hilton to win and then he goin and undos all this crazy Laws etc.
Keep your finger crossed Rita - chances are slim but Steve Hilton would make a great Gov.
Guard against mob rule, is how you keep the Republic.
OWS, BLM, Indivisible, No Kings and now DSA are all mobs, demanding 100% fealty or else. Solely for Democrat party political gains. Too ugly to even countenance.
Laws what are those in California?
We don't follow everyone in California we make our own.
For instance Sanctuary City Laws. Why not have criminals picked up at jails,let's just release the. Into our cities to commit more crimes.
We don't want to allow our residents to have less taxes so let's just not follow the Feds on no tax On Tips.
If you don't like laws you can also just protest and burn things down and you'll never get arrested.
You can also steal and take what you want because you'll never get arrested for that either.
We can't win elections so let's just change voting to all mail in so everyone gets a ballot and can vote.
How can we change this. Vote Hilton, Vote as many people out as possible in November.
Teachers unions do not want to lose their need for new cohorts of K-12 student replacements, which in turn keeps teacher memberships dues permanently sustainable. That is why Democrats created sanctuary cities, after first supporting open borders. High birth rates, continuously filling failing K-12 classrooms is their bread and butter.
Sure hope Steve Hilton wins this November but he probably won't. The Comie-Dems have a lock on CA.

Not working. But admire your persistence for trying.

Don’t like our laws? Ignore them.
Don’t like election outcomes? Gut the office.
All this in the name of democracy?
So much for a government of laws, not men.
Don’t like the Constitution? Consult it later—maybe.
Don’t like a judge’s ruling? Call them “radical left.”
Don’t like the concept of checks and balances?
Rebrand it as “efficiency” and see who notices.
Call it America First.
JA: No, that is not called America First. It called the normal give and take of US politics and separations of powers, including an evolving role for the judiciary. It is an exercise in productive checks and balances.
