Quote of the Day
California continues to push out a steady stream of absurd, unscientific, and flat out impossible regulations across many industries in an attempt to impose its extremist, green agenda on the whole country by forcing manufacturers and businesses who want to do business in California to toe its far-left enviornut agenda.
It has become so pervasive that 17 states have banded together to sue the federal Environmental Protection Agency to cancel the special rules it has for allowing California to make its own environmental rules. That began in 1970 when the federal government added that carve out to the Clean Air Act.
But, what we see here is just another example of how far California is from every other state and even from the federal government on its commitment to the shrill environmentalist agenda. And it is long past time California’s absurd regulations are reigned in and to end its special powers to coerce the rest of the country to abide by its extremist agenda.

Coast Guard Refuses to Enforce California’s New Environmental Regulation (msn.com)
If only the Feds would reign in California gun laws as well. It wouldn’t be that hard. Just prosecute and send the governor, attorney general, a few senators and representatives to jail and/or death row, and California would be much better behaved for several years.
Good on the coast guard. Cause there ain’t no faster way to get killed than doing what some communist thieving liberal tells you to do.
And that’s exactly why communism always fails. And totalitarians in general.
They don’t know anything about what their trying to rule over. They only know how they feel about things. So that’s what they want done. And that’s how it just has to be.
And way too fat-headed to listen to the voice of reason. Total ignorance be damned.
And they never quit. They will track you down and destroy everything you hold near and dear.
And as you say Joe, the only way to stop them is with manly force, (or toxic masculinity if you will.) Just as our forefathers told us to.
We left that craphole 47 months ago. We don’t miss it and always cringe when we have to go back.
Surprisingly, Almost nobody we know will make the move despite how bad it is. The excuses are usually the same.
Hear, hear ! Enough of this 49 state/California crap. If it’s good enough for 49 states, California can either use that or do without. Consider the cost savings as manufacturers stop having to design, build and support two different products just because California thinks it’s so special.
Somehow, I’d think there would be a lot more than 17 states suing the feds; perhaps the other 32 don’t know about the suit ? (Some, like NY, MA, MD, etc. probably wouldn’t join even if paid to, but getting to 40 shouldn’t be a big deal).
Look no further than California’s & Washington State’s Orwellian named Better Brake Law.
Is the Tenth Amendment incorporated against the States?
B-b-b-b But the FLAG says California Republic right there across the bottom!
Considering how in the last eight years I learned so much about Procedure, jurisdiction, what was forbidden and permitted by legal ethics, and how laws can apply even where the law doesn’t seem to apply or had never been read in the same way before in the two hundred and fifty year history of the law, I won’t be surprised, if some crack-addled Democrat floats that as a justification for doing what they want regardless of the law.
One thing I would have loved to see Trump do would be to revoke all state Point of Contact authorizations.
Most people don’t realize that for a state to have laws stricter than federal laws, they have to have an agreement with the feds to do their own background checks.
If their ability to do their own background checks was rescinded, all sales (and records) would be in line with federal requirements – which I think are too tight, but they are far better than liberal state requirements.
it would also cut costs since the feds don’t charge for background checks AND they have longer hours and shorter wait times.
