With California in a state of emergency due to record snow cutting off entire towns, President Newsom has returned from a personal trip to Baja California to announce that the state will no longer be doing business with Walgreens.

California is not going to be doing business with Walgreens because they aren’t going to sell abortion pills in 20 states.

California already restricts state funded travel to 23 states due to what has been deemed discriminatory laws regarding LGBTQ.

San Francisco has taken it further and has a ban on publicly funded contracts and travel in 30 states that don’t share its liberal values on issues such as abortion and transgender rights. They are considering relaxing this since nobody bids on their contracts and it is costing millions each years.

That's all fine and good but what about the reparations they said they were going to deliver?

They’re still working on reparations. San Francisco is looking at $5 million which would need $600,000 per household to fund it.

The state is looking at $360,000 per person so they will need to come up with $650 billion.

California is an abberant state. I disagree with a lot of it's laws and policies. I would not live there. But, it has the right to do business with whomever it wants for whatever its lawful policies are. Refusing to do business with an entire state is nuts. However, they are the largest US. state economy and register in the top ten internationally, if not around the the fifth or sixth largest. This concerns me constitutionally under the commerce clause. Notwithstanding all of this, California historically seems to be the bellwether of changes in society to come, like it or not

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration is being sued in federal court for a law declaring California a "sanctuary state" for minors seeking transgender medical procedures.

Our Watch, a California parental rights nonprofit, is to file a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California Western Division against Attorney General Rob Bonta.

The filing, to be submitted by Advocates for Faith and Freedom, demands a jury trial regarding Senate Bill 107, which Newsom signed into law in September. It also seeks injunctive relief, a judicial declaration that the law is unconstitutional, as well as the recovery of attorney fees.

"California recently passed Senate Bill ('SB') 107, which violates the right of every parent in every state to direct the upbringing and care of their child," according to a copy of the filing obtained by Fox News Digital. "SB 107 allows minors to obtain gender transition procedures like harmful puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries without parental consent, while denying parents access to their child’s medical information. The bill also allows California to exercise ‘emergency jurisdiction’ over minors seeking gender dysphoria treatment."

A California school district being sued for allegedly violating parental rights by transitioning an 11-year-old's gender in secret is facing the wrath of local parents, who this week demanded transparency and for school officials not to keep them in the dark on matters of importance to their children's' lives.

Seats were full at this week's Board of Education meeting of the Chico Unified School District in northern California, where a major point of debate was what critics have named the district's so-called "Parental Secret Policy."

Under the policy, which is based on guidance from the California Department of Education, the district's 23 schools only inform parents of their child pursuing or considering a gender transition with the student's prior written consent, except for extraordinary situations. Proponents argue the policy is meant to protect students' privacy.

Both should be declared unconstitutional because the patients are minors and parents have the right to control their minor children's medical treatment, absent court order (like when parents who won't allow their children to undergo lifesaving treatment).

California is why there are parental rights bills happening all over the county. In California children are owned by the state and California exports ALL its laws.

Many states no longer require parental consent for lots of things starting at the age of 12.

For example, all 50 states and the District of Columbia allow minors age 12 and older to access health care without parental consent for the treatment of STIs.

Likewise, certain states and the District of Columbia allow minors to receive contraceptive services without notifying parents.

In most states, minors themselves may consent for substance abuse treatment, and in about half of the states, they are specifically authorized to consent to outpatient mental healthcare.


Note: I am not defending what they did in the case of this 11year old...

They'll probably have a solution soon anyway, making pitchforks and torches illegal.

I'm not surprised, watched a video about the collapse of San Bernadino City, CA. They taped in a drug store and even things like soap and toothpaste were behind locked glass shelves, worse than in some third-world countries.

In terms of diagnosis and treatment of std’s in 5 states they must be 14, not 12. One state does not allow minors to consent to std diagnosis and treatment.

South Carolina, which I guess is second only to Florida on the East Coast in attracting emigrants escaping LEFTY Blue Yankee states has a proposal in the legislature to make them pay their "fair share" for services and infrastructure that the native inhabitants have been paying for all along. The 'YANKEE TAX'

South Carolina weighs 'Yankee tax' on newcomer driving fees

Additional fees may be coming for incoming South Carolina residents who want to legally drive on their new home state’s roads

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Additional fees may be coming for incoming South Carolina residents who want to legally drive on their new home state's roads.

Droves of newcomers have made South Carolina one of the nation's fastest-growing states. As legislators respond to climbing population totals, a bill dubbed the “Yankee tax” could require freshly minted Palmetto State locals to pay $500 total in one-time fees for new driver's licenses and vehicle registration.

The Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday approved the proposal by a 11-6 vote. It now heads to the Senate floor.

Republican Sen. Stephen Goldfinch's bill purports to capitalize on the state's in-migration by ensuring these new neighbors pay for the infrastructure already funded by existing taxpayers. He compared the tax to impact fees: one-time charges commonly paid by developers to help cover the increased demands their new project might bring for public facilities.

And yes, I'm saying that just to stir shit.

That DAMN YANKEE Brewha! Always tryin' to stir up trouble. That's what the Yankees do.

Gene, Prof. McClannahan said the same thing as you, if they do it, the Yankee Tax should be much higher.
