California

After several failed Calexit attempts over the past several months (see: CalExit 3.0: New Petition Calls For Cali Secession...3rd Time's A Charm?), tech billionaire Tim Draper is pursuing yet another major shakeup in the Golden State.  According to the New York Times, Draper is convinced that a state of 40 million people is simply "ungovernable" and has filed paperwork seeking a ballot initiative that would split it into 3 distinct states.

Two days after former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon warned that California may attempt to secede from the US over the next decade if Republicans failed to reassume control of the state, the state’s attorney general played down speculation that the state would make a credible attempt at leaving the US in the coming years.

Freed of any need to be marginally politically-correct, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon took his fight to the Republican establishment during a speech to a capacity crowd at an almost oxymoronic California Republican Party convention.

The ubiquitous protesters were there...

The videos below will show you what it’s really like, trying to survive an ever-changing inferno…and why you shouldn’t wait for the official evacuation order.

A month after San Diego began street-bleaching in an effort to control its spread, Governor Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency as California's Hepatitis A outbreak has "gone statewide," with dozens dead and hundreds hospitalized.

In order to combat the disease, the southern California city of San Diego has literally begun spraying the streets with bleach.
