This chaos is the result of allowing evil narcissistic godless politicians to get power. Das and Gavin are two such politicians we know all too well. What is truly sobering is that what is wrong in California and Oregon could be exported to DC. Where do the U Haul trucks take the sane refugees when these policies rule the entire nation? We need to seek out the truth , pray, vote and share what we know with others. Thank you, Andy for so clearly pointing out what is going on here in the once Golden State.
NB - For Dr Aijian: Off topic, but this will be interesting to follow, Dr Aijian- a long awaited analysis of the Biden "covid" debacle:
"WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust, led by Chairman Thomas Massie (R-KY), released an interim staff report titled, “Politics, Private Interests, and the Biden Administration’s Deviation from Agency Regulations in the COVID-19 Pandemic.”
The report details how the Biden Administration pressured the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to go beyond its regulatory authority to change its procedures, cut corners, and lower agency standards to approve the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and authorize boosters. This approval enabled the Biden Administration to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine, despite concerns that the same vaccine was causing injury among otherwise healthy young Americans. ..........
We need to seek out the truth, pray, vote and share what we know with others…Thank You!!!
“Ladies and gentlemen, the very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society. And we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means for expanding its sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice.
It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned. No secret is revealed.
That is why the Athenian lawmaker, Solon, decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. Confident that with your help, man will be what he was born to be, free and independent.”
Bravo, Andy. Great column. But liberals aren't the only ones trying to make money off the drug trade while playing the moral high ground. Bush did very well with the drug trade - as in making money off it - during his handling of the Central American conflict. When it cones to the border and the cartels and drugs, it's time we got rid of the uniparty. That's why we need Trump.
Good Article & well said…Our Country is failing because of the mass of people that are ignorant or afraid to throw of the chains of wage slavery…
The Cabal’s whole purpose throughout history has been to teach a small number of people how to become adept at controlling everyone else. Their goal is to destroy all existing religions, save theirs. All existing governments, save theirs. And shackle the mob in a system of eternal oppressive debt chained to a computer for the rest of their life — in a propagandized world to make them believe that they are happy in this system.
Do you think they're succeeding? Yes. Haven't I described to you just now exactly what is going on in the world today? Yes. They're succeeding. They're succeeding because the American people don't understand their enemy.
They don't even know what's happening. There's a method to [their] madness. There's really not much method to ours because we’re operating from a place of ignorance. And until we change that, we’re gonna be bumbling around, bumping into each other, saying and doing the wrong things, not understanding the nature of the enemy. And if you don't understand the nature of the enemy and the weapons they use, we cannot fight that enemy.
The majority that can’t see our condition shouldn't even be on the battlefield. That's why we were losing the war. This country was founded by dangerous men. And the moment the people in this country cease to be dangerous men, it's gonna be the day we cease to have a country. Unless we can wake the masses to the Mindwar (information warfare) and be successful in creating a real free press where the American people get different viewpoints other than those expressed in the establishment controlled media, there going to be a civil war in this country…
The only thing that can stop it is by waking up vast amounts of sleeping people. Sheeple is what they are. They are following the Judas goat right into the shearing pens, and from there, they will go to the slaughter. And they will not know that anything is wrong until they smell the blood of the sheeple in line in front of them.
You blame the Doobie Brothers, Das Williams and Steve Lavagnino. But our county's stupid marijuana regulations weren't passed by only two votes out of five. The third and always reliable vote was Joan Hartmann. Yes, the same Joan who received thousands in campaign donations from marijuana growers. Why does she get a pass here from Andy? Who will hold her accountable at the same level as Das and Steve?
Of course it takes three votes to pass anything. However, it was Das and Steve that created the ordinance. If you think I am trying to cover for Joan, you don't know anything.
I don’t understand why some people say if you like Trump you are in a cult.. that’s ridiculous first of all … whom ever leans toward trump actually loves our country and traditional values, since the Biden regime has almost destroyed them and it.
You must be someone that calls Truth conspiracy…
Good luck w that and recovering from waking up if that ever happens .. hopefully
8 billion people are being controlled by 100 families. What families? The elites. And if you think I'm crazy, maybe stop watching the news and start doing your own freaking research & actually thinking for yourself, because the media is also owned by these families & they're controlling the narrative, which means they're controlling your perception…
How come we, as 8 billion people, haven't stopped falling for these divide and conquer tactics and started to realize who the real enemy actually is?
While we're fighting each other, they're just laughing at us. Left wing, right wing, republican, democrat, liberal, none of that chit matters. The only thing that does exist is a group of elites that are controlling everything that you do, and unless you wake up and realize what's actually happening, things are only gonna get worse. Wake up, Neo.
No Mark, that's not an accurate statement. A true reflection of reality would be you don't like Trump because he oposes that which you support. You don't like his supporters and label them as cult for not giving into your ideas and supporting your preferred candidate. Trump supporters have no interest in undermining their own views and preferred policies and it seems you take an issue with the pluralistic nature of democracy; I though pluralism is one of the cornerstone of democracy yet you oppose it when said pluralism pushes back against your own beliefs, how convenient.
If you're going to oppose pluralism in democracy, at least be upfront about it.
Lots of miscues there, Mark. But it does energize your day.
Conservatism: (1) Limited government; (2) Protection of private property; (3) Free and competitive markets; (4) Rule of law.
Trump - 2024. - everyone gets three bites at the apple before any case is settled. Trump has had only round one, with material legal error committed in act case. While your own TDS claims are prima facie evidence of slander per se. You might want to rein it in a bit.
Millions of Americans understand clearly why you morons cult worship a criminal conman. And your ideas of truth are like your ideas of criminal law. Hypocrisy defines your cult.
Liberals: "If we could just jail Trump, get rid of MAGA, end the Electoral College, stack the Supreme Court, ban voter ID, and censor free speech we could save democracy."
Those "liberals" overlook the depth of the populist movement that was already in place, and is now even making moves in California too. The movement came first, and the Tea Party was the first organized public exposure of its reach and appeal.
Trump only became a spokesperson for this populist movement after the Media trashed the Tea Party beyond all recognition, but it never went away.
It is primarily a fiscal, limited government movement. The TDS crowd does not get this. They are in love only with their own definition of this movement, and do froth endlessly about their own misperceptions.
Best to assume this rabid TDS display is only projection of their own darkest thoughts, not yet owned by their own consciousness. We see this constantly - Democrats accurse us of what they are doing themselves. Very Jungian. Very much Democrats not owning their own Shadows. Which is why their strings of insults always fail to connect. Why they never close the sale.
well said…Projection: The attribution of one's own ideas, feelings, or attitudes to other people or to objects; especially : the externalization of blame, guilt, or responsibility as a defense against anxiety?
[FAKE NEWS] also took a BIG hit as a result of the Biden/Trump debate…what happens when the PUBLIC discovers the TRUTH re: [FAKE NEWS] coordination w: [D] party to conceal, shelter, and protect those criminally responsible?
we are watching the systematic destruction of the Old Guard…
Idiot Trumptard’s: “if we could rescue you from your gullible selves, send your cult leader to a federal prison where he belongs, eliminate the electoral college, even out the Supreme Court with both liberal and conservative judges instead of stacked with Trump minions, and end the hypocrisy of clueless conservative morons, we would save this country.
Mark, it does work. Get working on it. Owning your own shadow is a life's work - there are clues strewn at your own feet, if you know how to read them.
Mark, are you better off with $5.00 gasoline and $10.00 bacon and 20,000,000 unvetted aliens? Do you have anything to add that will convince me that I am better off under Biden than Trump? We all know you hate Trump and his supporters but you have nothing of substance to add that makes your case. Your rants are so juvenile; I suspect your goal is simply to insult Trump and those who love him. Trump is a great man and I would be honored to shine his shoes.
Yes, PLENTY!!!!… and Trump is a criminal conman of which you already are kissing his ass. He doesn’t need you to shine his shoes.
Any day you want to exchange FACTS!!! Reach out and I’ll be happy to compare evidence. Sadly you’ll need to find a way to dislodge your head from your cult leaders behind first.
“War on drugs” is another false advertising campaign like “planned parenthood “ which has nothing to do with being a parent. The war on drugs is also false. Between Blue politics allowing drugs, encouraging and administering illegal drugs to “homeless” giving free alcohol to alcoholic homeless to the open border allowing enough fentanyl to kill every person in this country multiple times over to child trafficking, etc.. 85,000 children “misplaced” at the border under Biden. I guess Obamas cages were not being used because children are very valuable. Which Democrats & RINOs are being paid to look the other way while those 85,000 children are sold into ska dry and the sex trade?
The Dems stopped doing genetic testing to make sure the child was with their parents and not being trafficked. Hmm, you think a Democratic voter would ask why their leaders d8 t want to know if a child was brought here by unknowns and sold unto slavery. Guess the Dem voter agrees with the policy of selling children.
To be blunt, every Democrat voter is guilty of the crimes committed by their party. Every tax payer is aiding and abetting, supporting the illegal mafia of California and Democrats. Drug trafficking, sex trading, child trafficking, illegal aliens, providing “free” healthcare to illegals (criminals), free education, free housing, providing jobs to illegals, etc….
So if I support bank robbers, murders and thieves I go to jail. But our government keeps doing it.
What is the point of laws? Under Democratic Rule it is to oppress their opposition.
We are a third world dictatorship, supported by every person who voted for a Democrat or RINO.
I have a little different take on the drug problem. You want to smoke Fentanyl and kill yourself? Go right ahead!
My doc gave me Hydrocodone after my back surgery. I love it! Makes my whole day happy and fun! _But_ I know it’s dangerous and addictive, so instead of ‘every 4 hours’ as indicated on the pill bottle I take one every _4 days_ . . . no exceptions!
The first statement of yours is an expressly anti-Christian sentiment. It lacks charity and compassion, we're supposed to be our brothers keepers, not goad them into committing mortal sin and destroy themselves.
After reading many articles published in Santa Barbara current and the following discussions in responses, I am led to the conclusion that much of this depends on how we as a nation, define, protect and implement democracy.
This seems particularly true where, in so many democracies, governments cannot supply the benefits, goods and services they promised to give the people who elected them. And, when they try, the national debt rises to dangerous levels that further restrict government actions at many levels.
America and Britain are two examples, each having national elections this year and both implicitly are facing that question.
Calm Down Einstein, I've accomplished plenty in my time and none of it includes joining a cult, worshiping a criminal, and spending every waking day on a forum such as this whining and complaining about conservative nonsense and liberal conspiracy theories, that you'll never be able to fix in your lifetime. Enjoy.
As a kid in the 1950's, I remember seeing billboards with the skeletal and tombstone warning: "The wages of sin are death". Sounds harsh but daily we see this is a valid a warning today as then. In the alternative, the reward of a good life, is.......... the good life.
This chaos is the result of allowing evil narcissistic godless politicians to get power. Das and Gavin are two such politicians we know all too well.

I hate Biden
I hate CRIMINALS and losers who cult worship them. LOCK TRUMP UP!!!!

You must be someone that calls Truth conspiracy…
Good luck w that and recovering from waking up if that ever happens .. hopefully
The Trump cult oath:
I’m not a criminal but I support one.
I’m not a bigot but I support one.
I’m not a hypocrite but I support one.
I’m not a pathological liar but I support one.
I’m not a traitor but I support one.
I’m not a draft dodger but I support one.
I’m not a tax evader but I support one.
I’m not a racist but I support one.
I’m not a sexist but I support one.
I’m not a dictator lover but I support one.
I’m not a rapist but I support one.
I’m not a narcissist but I support one.
I’m not a sociopath but I support one.
… and on and on and on…. ALL PROVEN FACTS!!!
All while pretending to believe in traditional conservative values.
Disgusting traitors and hypocrites!!!
You are speaking about the democrat China Biden regime .. obviously lol
You are talking about yourself pot calling kettle black syndrome
Calm down
All you haters get so excited with your hate..
Even though Biden is clearly an idiot traitor I don’t see people losing it like you all do about Trump.. very unbalanced behavior
Karen you need to pull your head out of your ass and learn how to do REAL RESEARCH!!! .
8 billion people are being controlled by 100 families. What families? The elites.

Hey, hey hey! - you can make your point without getting personal . . and vulgar.

Mark, you can start owning your own Shadow, instead of projecting it on others.
You should know how that works.

More BULLSHIT!!! from a laughingstock.
What an intelligent comment! How about explaining your thoughts on this matter?
About as coherent and thoughtful as Biden's debate performance.
"What a bunch of lies. I've never seen more malarkey in my life!"
This is on the reply to Mark Allen line. What lies and malarkey are you referring to?
Poking fun at his statement with a Bidenesque quote.
