The California Legislature busy at work...

Last call at Los Angeles bars could go to 4 a.m. under bill passed by California lawmakers

California lawmakers are fighting for your right to party.
Legislators signed off Thursday on a plan to allow Los Angeles, San Francisco and seven other cities to extend alcohol service at bars and restaurants from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m.

When I grew up in Vermont, blue laws forbad sale of alcohol on Sunday (and in some towns no alcohol could be sold at any time, depending on the results of the "local option" vote held every year). Then the ski industry grew up - at first it was just a quaint ruralism that bars had to shut down on Saturday night at Midnight, but eventually the laws were amended to allow bars to stay open until 2 AM Sunday, and could re-open at Noon (again, subject to local option).

Ryan Gosling stars as Neil Armstrong in the new film First Man, centering on the astronaut's historic Apollo 11 mission. On July 20, 1969, he and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to walk on the moon. Yet, one iconic moment is omitted from the movie: The planting of the American flag.

When asked about the omission, Gosling explained that the producers wanted to focus on human achievement, as opposed to just American achievement

WILLIAMS: Immigrants And Disease
by Walter E. WilliamsSeptember 1, 2018


The Immigration and Nationality Act mandates that all immigrants and refugees undergo a medical screening examination to determine whether they have an inadmissible health condition. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has technical instructions for medical examination of prospective immigrants in their home countries before they are permitted to enter the U.S. They are screened for communicable and infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis, polio, measles, mumps and HIV. They are also tested for syphilis, gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases. The CDC also has medical screening guidelines for refugees. These screenings are usually performed 30 to 90 days after refugees arrive in the United States.



But what about people who enter our country illegally? The CDC specifically cites the possibility of the cross-border movement of HIV, measles, pertussis, rubella, rabies, hepatitis A, influenza, tuberculosis, shigellosis and syphilis. Chris Cabrera, a Border Patrol agent in South Texas, warned: "What's coming over into the U.S. could harm everyone. We are starting to see scabies, chickenpox, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections and different viruses." Some of the youngsters illegally entering our country are known to be carrying lice and suffering from various illnesses. Because there have been no medical examinations of undocumented immigrants, we have no idea how many are carrying infectious diseases that might endanger American children when these immigrants enter schools across our nation.

According to the CDC, in most industrialized countries, the number of cases of tuberculosis and the number of deaths caused by TB steadily declined during the 100 years prior to the mid-1980s. Since the '80s, immigrants have reversed this downward trend in countries that have had substantial levels of immigration from areas where the disease is prevalent. In 2002, the CDC said: "Today, the proportion of immigrants among persons reported as having TB exceeds 50 percent in several European countries, including Denmark, Israel, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland. A similar proportion has been predicted for the United States." The number of active TB cases among American-born citizens declined from an estimated 17,725 in 1986 to 3,201 in 2015. That was an 80 percent drop. Data reported to the National Tuberculosis Surveillance System show that the TB incidence among foreign-born people in the United States (15.1 cases per 100,000) is approximately 13 times the incidence among U.S.-born people (1.2 cases per 100,000). Those statistics refer to immigrants who are legally in the U.S. There is no way for us to know the incidence of tuberculosis and other diseases carried by those who are in our country illegally and hence not subject to medical examination.
 
So the Republican party has hit the point where they hate California so badly that our states own Representatives are now actively working against our states economic interests.

Shame on you who vote for Republican's and help them steal local jobs and redistribute them to Texas and North Carolina...

McCarthy leads GOP charge against Silicon Valley
http://thehill.com/homenews/house/404642-mccarthy-leads-gop-charge-against-silicon-valley

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy is leading the charge against President Trump’s new favorite punching bag: big tech.

The California Republican, who hopes to replace Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) next year, has been aggressively promoting a campaign to “stop the bias,” referring to what critics say is a pattern of discrimination against conservative voices on social media.

To that end, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill this week at a hearing requested by McCarthy.

“I’ve had many conversations with the president about how we have to stop this bias,” McCarthy, one of Trump’s closest allies on Capitol Hill, told Fox News on Thursday.

“I’ve spoken to Jack Dorsey throughout the month,” McCarthy added. “He and I philosophically disagree, but we do agree on one thing: We believe in the First Amendment. But we also believe in transparency and accountability.”

The majority leader’s recent crusade against social media comes at a time when Trump has ramped up his own rhetoric against the tech industry. His eagerness to champion the cause could endear him to both the White House and conservative lawmakers -- two constituencies that could be crucial to securing the Speakership.

EXCLUSIVE: HILLARY CLINTON IS HIRING INTERNS FOR THE FALL — BUT WON’T PAY THEM A CENT
4:36 PM 09/02/2018
Joe Simonson | Media Reporter
Hillary Clinton is hiring a batch of unpaid interns for the fall to work in her New York City office, according to documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Applications are currently being accepted on a rolling basis and will “run from September to mid-December.” The internship requires “a minimum of three days per week,” and undergrads “of all majors are encouraged to apply.”

While the amount of hours per day aren’t specified, the “internship is unpaid.”

“Interns will provide support to our staff, assisting our work on a wide range of projects. Work will include but will not be limited to: compiling press clips, monitoring social media, conducting research, drafting correspondence, and assisting with office management,” the job posting states.

Clinton’s office is looking for applicants who have “a high level of professionalism and discretion,” “strong research and writing skills,” “the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team,” “strong interpersonal communication skills,” “a diligent work ethic and a sense of conscientiousness,” as well as “enthusiasm, dedication, and a positive attitude.”

Liberal UC Santa Cruz Asking Faculty to Take In Students Due to Housing Crisis

The University of California Santa Cruz is asking faculty to house students — providing the ultra-liberal campus with an unplanned lesson in how building restrictions are driving a statewide housing crisis.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported that under a plan to make college more accessible to transfer students, UCSC offered admissions to 35,000 students this year, an increase of 1,400 graduate and 5,600 undergraduates.

With the school planning to increase enrollment by another 10,000 students by 2040, SFGate.com estimated that at the current pace of construction it would take 966 years to meet demand.

KSBW-TV reported that Santa Cruz has the 4th–least affordable real estate in the world, according to the International Housing Affordability Survey, based on a specific location’s median house price divided by that location’s median household income.

The survey blames unaffordable market prices and rents on inflation created from stricter local building codes, laws, and permit processes. Despite Core Logic reporting that the average Median Housing Affordability Multiple in the United States is a relatively affordable 3.9, the $875,000 average home price and $70,088 median income means that Santa Cruz’s multiple of 11.6 is the highest in the United States.

Germany’s Heiko Maas: ‘Get up off the sofa and speak up’ against far right

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said citizens must do more to tackle racism and the far right in the wake of a week of often violent protests in Chemnitz.

Mass told Bild am Sonntag that people must “get up off the sofa and speak up.”


“We must stand up to the right-wing extremists. We can’t duck away. We must show our faces against neo-Nazis and anti-Semites,” he said. “Only then will Germany’s reputation not be permanently marred by xenophobic crimes.”

He continued, “If the Hitler salute is shown on our streets today once again, it will be a disgrace to our country.”

On Saturday, thousands marched through Chemnitz, an eastern city that has been rocked by violent protests in the wake of the fatal stabbing of a 35-year-old German. The first protests, last Sunday, drew around 800 people, some of whom reportedly attacked police and people they thought were immigrants, shouting “We are the people” and “You’re not welcome here.”

Peter Altmaier, the economic affairs minister and Angela Merkel’s former chief of staff, told the BBC on Saturday, “I feel ashamed when I see this violence that was directed against innocent people, immigrant people, and this is absolutely not acceptable.”
