By Samuel Strait, Report at Large – October 10, 2021 It is simply amazing in the "Golden State", that our illustrious Governor has his priorities on the straight and narrow. Another summer of massive wildfires, homelessness out of control, an educational system in tatters, population decline, water shortages, electrical brown outs, exploding increase in violent crime, affordable housing shortages, major corporations fleeing the state, state regulation strangling transportation, shortages of staple goods, a major oil spill in Southern California, and on and on. Good thing Governor Hair Gel is still on the job, thanks to the "NO" votes in the recent recall election. His legislative and leadership priorities will save the day. Let me see now, just what are they? In order to combat the massive oil spill in the waters fronting Huntington Beach, likely caused by one of the thousands of ships anchored waiting to be unloaded in the Port of Los Angeles, but can't due to inefficiency of Union dock workers and lack of truck transportation, Governor "Empty Suit" signed into law a bill that would ban leaf blowers and lawn equipment like lawn mowers by 2024. Apparently those pesky gas powered menaces to society are a far higher priority to Californians than the "minor" issue off Huntington Beach. Thus it has the governor's undivided attention. After condemning Texas' heartbeat law, Governor Hair Gel found time on his busy list of priorities to sign into law the "Momnibus" Act which is an effort to improve infant and maternal health. What? Can kill infants with abortions, but wants to "improve infant and maternal health" without even a consideration of the conflict. Seems he is very considerate when talking about a woman's right to choose, yet not so considerate "FOR THE INFANT'S HEALTH" when it comes to that of a woman when taking the life of her child. Governor Hair Gel continued on his romp through other bits of priority legislation which allow children to hide abortions from their parents, and gender affirming therapy. Nothing like a fourteen year old to be mature enough to decide whether or not to have an abortion without counsel from her parents, but hey, liberal progressives have long held being a parent is irrelevant in a child's life, let them decide for themselves from birth. What possible could be wrong with that? After clearing up the "emergency priorities" coming across his desk, Governor "Empty Suit" fastened on that critical piece of learning, that is oh so missing in California's educational curriculum, "ethnic studies". In a educational system where half the graduates can barely read or write, it is of the utmost urgency for students to have mandated a full year of "ethnic studies" in order to graduate. Wouldn't want the little cherubs to be unaware of the differing ethnicities in the world, but wait how are they going to do that if they can't read? Not to worry, maybe a vaccine can be developed. The cherry on top of the "priority list" is the recent signing into law that all retailers with 500 or more employees, not sure what that has to do with anything, must have a "gender neutral" area in the store to sell certain toys and child care products outside of gender specific areas. The edict is to take effect in 2024. Retailers can continue to sell gender specific toys "if they wish, but must have the gender neutral area". Fortunately Hair Gel had little to say about this foolishness, just as well. This gives all Californians a taste of what is important for His Highness Newsom and the California legislative body. Certainly not a list where anything that is truly important for many of those that reside in the State, but who cares. The "NO" voters have spoken.
