California Underground

A popular meme is floating around asking "Are you enjoying your 30 day free trial of socialism?" It's a good question because if anyone wants to know what's it like to live in a socialist country, this is pretty darn close.  A lot of politicians are trusting doomsday scenarios and bad predictions, it doesn't mean you should either. It's already been shown that a lot of the doomsday predictions are based on faulty models. It is your right and duty to ask questions and not be afraid to be skeptical of what is going on out there.  Local News Stories AB5 Keeps Health Care Professionals from Workings https://link.theepochtimes.com/ab-5-keeps-needed-health-care-personnel-from-working_3282494.html Under Single Payer California Would Be In a Permanent State of Emergency http://www.capoliticalreview.com/top-stories/coronavirus-state-of-emergency-under-single-payer-california-would-be-in-a-permanent-state-of-emergency/ San Diego to Start Using Drones to E

We're all stuck inside, so why not listen to a little California Underground podcast? Governor Newsom issues a stay at home order to make sure people don't continue to go out and spread the virus. Introverts rejoice.  Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, when pressed at a press conference she used to simply score political points, says that she didn't want to turn the presser into a political issue over AB5. It is evident that she doesn't understand, or is being stubborn on how poorly her bill has hurt the California economy and workers.  In a weird move by a federal judge, a voting rights case was stalled when a judge ordered a three panel judge hearing for the Ninth Circuit then inexplicably cancelled it. Can one State Senator represent 1,000,000 million Californians and can one Assemblyman represent 500,000 adequately? Or is that by design?

In this episode we tackle how Sleepy Joe, may be Biden the Jerk. His confrontations with voters has shown that he has no interest in constructive dialogue and that can hurt him come November.  Coronavirus has forced us all in the house, but my opinion is that the worst is behind us. While the Media and the Left tried to use this to sink President Trump, it will be another failed attempt.  California may have hit the breaking point with taxes. Voters rejected Prop 13 which was supposed to raise billions for schools through the issuance of a bond and yet it was voted down. Are Californians finally figuring out bonds = debt and to pay off the debt you need to raise taxes?  Link to full article below.  http://www.capoliticalreview.com/top-stories/californians-reject-new-taxes-and-borrowing/

With the Impeachment Hearings underway, the circus is fully on display. With heaps of hearsay evidence, Adam Schiff looks to impeach the President over disgruntled desk jockeys who don't like how he conducts business.  But did President Trump set up the Democrats to fall into this Ukraine trap? Will it end up helping to drain the swamp? With California facing more wildfires and power outages, California is poised to enter a literal and figurative Dark Age. Because of this more people than ever are fleeing the state to escape a state that is teetering on becoming a third world state.  Show Links This Impeachment Is About Who Sets Foreign Policy https://thefederalist.com/2019/11/14/this-impeachment-inquiry-is-really-about-who-sets-u-s-foreign-policy/ Could It Be That Trump Has Been Setting Up the Left All Along? https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/11/could_it_be_that_trump_has_been_setting_up_the_left_all_along.html California Power Outages

Even when something as good as American military killing the leader of ISIS happens, Leftists can't even give an ounce of praise to the Trump Administration. In the words of someone I spoke with "I will not give any credibility or praise to this administration no matter what."  Did you hear that? It might be howling cries of shock from the Left as the Durham investigation turns into a criminal investigation. This means that he can now assemble grand juries, subpoena witnesses, and maybe get some underlings to flip on the top dogs.  California is a mess of wild fires and soaring gas prices. So what is Gruesome Newsom to do? Well blame evil capitalism and oil companies of course! No way over regulation, high taxes, and incompetent leadership could be behind right?

Like the good socialist Elizabeth Warren is, she dances around how you are going to get all this free stuff without raising taxes on the middle class. Mostly because she knows that by saying so will be political suicide with her as the front runner. Her opponents know this and are hitting her hard on it too.  When everyday people are given the choice between fighting climate change and self preservation, majority of people pick self preservation. What a shocker right? Gruesome Newsom pulls a fast one (that everyone should have expected) and diverted money from the gas tax to pay for stuff that will help combat climate change. Also in other Gruesome news, he signed into law AB 5 which will further destroy working Californians ability to make a living by effectively banning independent contractors from being able to work.  Show Links Warren’s Plan Will Cost Trillions According to Liberal Think Tank https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2019/10/18/liberal-think-tank-actually-singlepayer-healthcare-

In this lucky episode we dive into the impeachment mania and why strategically Nancy Pelosi has painted herself into quite the corner that she can't get out of. Is impeachment already DOA? Then we talk about something that was swept under the rug with all the impeachment mania and that is AOC's Green New Deal 2.0 AKA her "Just Society" bill and why it looks like something out of California.  Gruesome Newsom has been busy putting all the blame on PG&E for blackouts across the state, all the while he signs 15 anti-gun bills into law in California. Gray Davis was recalled for less, and now we can make a Newsom recall a reality.  SIGN THE CERTIFIED RECALL NEWSOM PETITION AT WWW.RECALLGAVINNOW.COM This is not some phony change.org petition which is worthless, this is the real deal!

This episode talks all about how the California Primary for the Democratic Nominee affects the Presidential race, for better or for worse. But even in a state that is deep blue, the Democrats are not without their problems. There is a war going on nationally and locally within the Democratic Party of which faction wins. Is it the establishment, corporatist, faction or the far left socialist faction? And if the Democratic Party chooses a California style Democrat for President, how badly will they be beaten in the general election?

Mueller drops a big stink bomb before heading off into the sunset and stokes the flames of impeachment. But is it enough to ward off the impending "Spygate" investigation?  Is the Alabama Abortion Bill good or bad for Republicans in 2020? Governor Newsom is starting to find out that it's hard to take on big pet projects when you can't use federal money. Like a child who was spoiled rotten under President Obama, California is having to deal with the repercussions of a stern adult in the White House with President Trump.  Will you believe that the Ninth Circuit is on its way to flipping conservative in the next couple of years?

Similar to how Game of Thrones fans are upset with the ending of the show, Leftists are upset with how the Mueller Report ended and making desperate attempts to try and change the ending to fit their narrative. Desperate attempts like banning conservatives on social media before 2020, and illegally obtaining President Trump's tax returns.  Speaking of which, the Left may have given President Trump a gift by showing how he was the comeback kid in the 90's. Going from billions in debt to back on top of the world. There is nothing Americans love more than a good comeback story, and the Left has just given President Trump the best story to tell ahead of 2020.  California politicians are scratching their heads to figure out why gas prices are so high (could it be all the taxes and regulations?). Even though people brag about California being the 5th largest economy in the world (according to a new Bloomberg study), it doesn't change the fact that California is also number 1 in state debt, poverty, and

As someone who grew up in New Jersey, 9/11 was not "just something some people did." Representative Omar's remarks are disgusting and insulting to millions of Americans who remember it, and thousands who were directly affected by it. It's becoming more and more clear this Justice Democrat is working to tear down American institutions.  President Trump makes a brilliant move to show the hypocrisy of Leftists regarding Sanctuary Cities. They used to say how Sanctuary Cities were much safer, the economy was better, yada yada yada. Basically they were heaven on earth. But now with the threat of (in their words) the federal government "dumping" illegal immigrants into their cities, they are calling foul and worried it will cause problems.  A recent study shows that California citizens are starting to approach "taxuration" where citizens can no longer stand anymore taxes. What does this mean for Gavin Newsom's ambitious plans going forward?  That and much more in this episode.  Links  

With the Mueller Report now out, leftists continue to grasp to their decaying reality they have been telling themselves for two years. Instead of feeling bad about spreading so much disinformation and lies, they double down and believe there must be something on President Trump they can use to get him out of office.  Jussie Smollett walks free and instead of leaving gracefully and thanking his lucky stars that he got off so easy, he turns around and says he will sue the City of Chicago for slandering his name. Then his attorneys continue to believe he was really attacked, except they were in white face which is why he couldn't identify them.  Governor Newsom heads off to El Salvador to ask them how he can help them send more migrants to our cash strapped state for more freebies. Instead of worrying about the tax paying citizens of California, he goes to Central American countries on bended knee asking how he can better help them. Never mind that we have crumbling roads, housing that is unaffordabl

It's finally Mueller time! And the result? A big nothing burger. But just because you think the Mueller investigation is over, doesn't mean the Far Left has given up. They are calling for more investigations because they now believe Mueller may have been compromised. So while the chapter closes on this 2 year long episode, it doesn't stop leftists from coming after President Trump with everything they got.  In California news, Governor Newsom continues his transformation into mad dictator of California. After flaunting his power and enacting a completely unconstitutional Executive Order, he now threatens to withhold money from localities if they don't comply with his vision for affordable housing. All while he critiques President Trump for withholding funds for the now defunct high speed rail that will never get built.  And in closing, should conservative be our mantra moving forward? What are we trying to preserve? Because right now if we are trying to preserve the status quo, it would be pretty

Tucker Carlson made an important point this week when he said that it is important that we never bow to the mob, ever. When it comes to them trying to silence anyone who dissents from the far left narrative, we can't let them do it. 2020 is right around the corner and they are amping up to make sure there isn't a repeat of 2016.  President Trump states that he is looking into declaring Mexican cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. This will have a huge impact on battling against a crisis at our border.  This past week Gavin Newsom declared that he was putting an end to the death penalty in California via Executive Order. However, according to the California Constitution, you can't repeal an amendment via EO, nor does the language in Prop 17 (the one that instituted the death penalty) say it can be repealed via EO. So why is the Left screaming about how President Trump is a dictator when he's exercising his Congressionally approved powers, but not when Gavin Newsom is clearly violating the Ca

Welcome to the Church of Climate Change, where your personal rights and property come second, no questions asked. If you think it sounds a little cultish and fanatical, it's because it is.  California is walking a tight rope with its budget and reliance on the highest earners in the state. What happens when a couple thousand of those high earners decide to head towards the exit in favor of greener pastures? It's not pretty and California could be in for a world of hurt.  In no surprise to anyone, we dive into whether the Sanctuary State law was put into place to benefit a Democratic lawmaker's personal family. California continues to thumb their nose at the federal government and the Supremacy Clause when it comes to immigration. At what point do lawful California citizens get tired and push back?

In this episode the main topic is how the CAGOP caves to the establishment and votes for a swamp creature in Jessica Patterson and how this spells doom and gloom for the future of conservative politics in California.  Bernie Sanders enters the race for President, but several videos of him going full pinko commy surface and show how the thought of pushing back on communism makes him physically sick.  The Ballad of Jussie Smollet comes to an interesting close as the Chicago PD figure out that he staged the whole thing. The Looney Left is caught flat footed and abandon their support of him.  Plus I play with audio clips for the first time.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/californiaunderground/message

On this episode I discuss how Governor Newsom's fiscal conservatism is merely for political gain and not for the benefit of Californians.  In national news, there is the issue of President Trump's national emergency on the border wall and how RINO's and puritanical conservatives cry foul whenever he doesn't live up to their expectation. Then I touch upon the Green Pipe Dream (aka the Green New Deal) and how the Looney Left keeps marching down the road of socialism.  In state news, I discuss the race for CAGOP Chairman and how Jessica Paterson is a swamp creature hoping to keep the CAGOP a party of losers. Then I dive into the rampant homelessness in California and how in the end, California and it's spending on social welfare has become just like the High Speed Rail, a train to nowhere.  Links: Wolf In Sheep's Clothing: https://californiaunderground.wordpress.com/2019/02/12/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-dont-be-fooled-by-newsoms-fiscal-conservatism/ San Diego Lifts Ban on Living In Vehicles: http

The pilot episode! I dive into the goal of the California Underground and what its goal is. I discuss how the Left has gone completely looney and is racing faster and faster to socialism.  I discuss an article from The Federalist on Senator Kamala Harris (and confuse how to say her name numerous times) and the hard questions she should be facing but won't be facing.  Then I discuss Governor Newsom, the new hypocrite sitting in the Governor's Mansion about his recent move to a mostly white, upper class neighborhood far away from the diverse Sacramento neighborhood where the Governor's Mansion is.  Welcome to the California Underground!
