California: Dry Winter Is Apparent from Sierra Snowpack Photos from Space

Whenever Democrat 2020 candidates yap about America offering open borders to the world, it’s clear that they have never considered the environmental carrying capacity of our little space on the planet.

Unfortunately, California is a popular place for foreigners of varying legality to relocate which has given us more than 10 million foreigners as fellow […]

Border Trash Remains a Terrible Problem, Yet Gets Little Attention

It’s unfortunate that the intense political divisions today place issues strictly in one camp — liberal or conservative — when the real world breakout may be more complex. One prime example is illegal immigration enforcement, which the left declares to be the province of the cruel right that supposed wants to prevent non-white foreigners from […]

2020 Democrats Push Open Borders despite Environmental Damage They Claim from Climate Change

Democrats are so desperate to import future liberal voters from abroad that the D-candidates will violate any alleged principles to import as many newbies as possible. The 2020 Democrats have gone off a cliff to be “pro-immigration” by extending the idea of immigrant to include anyone of the world’s nearly 8 billion inhabitants who might […]

Democrat-Run California Has Done Nothing to Store Water for a Future Drought

The front page of Wednesday’s Los Angeles Times had a truly dispiriting message, namely that just a couple years after a record drought, California has done nothing to store water during a rare rainy winter. In fact, much of the precious water is being dumped into the ocean with little attempt to capture it.

The Devolution of Liberals, from Sober to Socialist

The new issue of The Social Contract is online and has an interesting topic: “When Liberals Were For Sensible Policies – on the Environment, Immigration, and the National Interest.” Be sure to check out the many excellent articles.

Whatever happened to liberals with sensible ideas about the limits to growth on our little planet? They […]

Tucker Carlson Asks: Why Don’t Liberals Care about Immigration-Fueled Overpopulation and the Environment Any More?

It once was the case that at least some liberals supported immigration limits because of the harmful effects of excess population on the environment as a primary reason. But many have forgotten because politics have become more important than preserving the nation’s natural resources that support life.

For example, California’s severe five-year drought from 2011 […]

California’s Water Problems Continue as Depleted Groundwater Causes Subsidence and Canal Failure

Water supply continues to be a worrisome thing in California, where the memory of the historic five-year drought remains strong. Now we learn that the drought plus overuse of groundwater has caused so much subsidence in the Central Valley that a large stretch of a gravity-run canal no longer works.

Tucker Carlson Asks the Big Immigration Question — How Many?

Tucker Carlson celebrated May Day by welcoming an open-borders California commie to his show to discuss the caravan invasion of moochers now perched on the border to claim legal asylum in the United States — although many have admitted to reporters that they are escaping gang crime or want a “better life” which are not […]

California Snowpack Report Suggests a Return to Drought

The winter rainy season is drawing to a close here in California, and it’s been disappointing. Nearly all of the state’s water comes from rain that falls from October through March, so water worriers (nearly all residents after the brutal five-year drought) are concerned. We were rescued by a near-record rainy season in 2016-17 but […]

Californians Worry about a Drought Resurgence

About half of Wednesday’s San Jose Mercury-News was dedicated to a report about drought in South Africa. The main headline — The City That Ran Out of Water — gets attention in northern California where a brutal five-year drought was broken last year by a very wet winter when the rains finally came. Now several […]

C-SPAN Devotes Three Hours to Immigration

I happened to click on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal viewer call-in show this morning (Wednesday, 1/3) and discovered the whole three hours was about immigration — it was an immersive experience.

The first hour was dedicated to calls from three categories of immigrants only — illegal aliens, those here for fewer than five years and residents […]

Housing Costs in California Continue to Surge

California remains a popular place to live, where millions from around the world have come to experience the moderate climate, excellent restaurants and easy going law enforcement.

In fact, 27 percent of the state’s population is foreign born as of 2016 according to the Census.

But California’s popularity has caused a huge crunch in affordable […]
