Things get worse in The Southwest

This. The thing is that election fraud isn't about getting 100% of the vote, it's about subtly tipping the scales so you get 51% of key swing districts. You don't have to change every vote, just make sure your guy has a minor edge. He's already likely getting a plurality so a slight tilt makes it a majority.

Unless you're Ngo Dinh Diem, anyhow. That man couldn't do subtle if his life depended on it. . .

Or Saddam with his 100% of the vote in 2002. IIRC Tubby leader also had a 100% vote at least once.

At least Ceausescu went for only 99,99% vote.

Or like many Americans, he assumed that his voter registration in the old state would be automatically cancelled when he registered to vote in his new state; it actually isn't.

Which is something we probably need to set up although doing so would definitely require federal legislation

prinCZess is old enough to remember when Californian fires being the fault of arsonists was a conspiracy theory.

She is comfortable saying that, of course, because it only belies she's a few months old.

American media is a shitshow.

I agree in principle, although I would point out that "failure to de-register as a voter in a state you no longer live in" is not even an administrative offense, and doesn't actually create election fraud unless you actually attempt to double-vote.

Apparently ships have been parking off of the port since the Spring of 2020 but ever since last Fall, the number of ships waiting has reached record breaking levels with 88 ships waiting to enter the Port of Los Angeles stretched back forty miles to the point some vessels are simply drifitng due to the lack of allowed anchorages in shallow water. The main reason for the delays is apparently COVID related regulations including health screenings and the constant cleaning of dock equipment.

Why a record number of container ships are backed up off the coast of California

So many container ships are trying to make it to port, some of them are just drifting due to a dearth of anchorages. Here's why.

Though Covid hasn't helped, what really hurts is the fact that the UNION controlled ports have set it up so there is very little automation AND ensured that dock workers don't work at night. So...make $170,000 per yer with all benefits paid without having to work nights...I'd do that...if it weren't in CA.

As a result of all this I think that Long Beach and LA ports are both ranked somewhere around 350+ in efficiency for all world-wide ports.

EDITED TO ADD: I think the best port in the USA is ranked somewhere around 85. Yup, NO PORT in the US ranks in the top 50 world wide.

California School District Bans Political Flags After Two Students Use A Teacher’s Pride Flag For Toilet Paper

California School District Bans Political Flags After Two Students Use A Teacher’s Pride Flag For Toilet Paper

Public schools and the auditoriums of school boards increasingly host the skirmish lines in our culture war.

Public schools and the auditoriums of school boards increasingly host the skirmish lines in our culture war.

And, it seems, liberals are unhappily reaping what they’ve sown.

One recent example comes from Paso Robles, California, courtesy of the San Luis Obispo Tribune.

There, two students went into science teacher Evan Holtz’s classroom at Paso Robles High School and stole his 3-foot-by-5-foot LGBTQ Pride flag, which was hanging on the wall.

Holtz pursued, but could not catch them. Tik Tok told the next chapter.

The students, according to the Tribune, videoed themselves with the flag in the restroom, where they attempted to flush it down the toilet.

That apparently did not work. Because Tik Tok also showed one of them defecating on the flag while it was lodged in the toilet.

A social studies teacher at the school told the newspaper their vandalism was “definitely an act of hate directed at the LGBTQ community.”

Perhaps.

Or maybe at a time when teachers tell elementary school kids about their same-sex sexual preferences, encourage students to pledge allegiance to the LGBTQ banner, and support transgender liberation so that girls no longer have privacy in locker rooms or bathrooms, some students are fed up with having the gay-rights agenda shoved down their throats.

The Tribune noted that the incident actually occurred about a month ago.

But it didn’t come to light until school district administrators started getting complaints about teachers politicizing their classrooms with paraphernalia from LGBTQ, Black Lives Matter, and other causes.

The district “has received multiple concerns about certain flag displays in teacher classrooms, including those that are large and distracting and those that alter the American flag,” schools Superintendent Curt Dubost wrote to teachers on Oct. 1.

The superintendent subsequently announced a new policy.

No flags in classrooms larger than 2 feet by 2 feet, none that portray “alterations of the American flag.”

“We don’t want to turn it into a politicized issue where a student enters a classroom and looks up, ‘Oh, there’s a rainbow flag here, or there’s a blue lives matter flag here — that determines what the partisanship is of my teacher,’ Dubost told the Tribune.

“We think that that’s a real slippery slope. And so we continue to believe that this is a very reasonable compromise solution that allows rainbows, but within reason.”

The Tribune added, “Students said the district’s new flag policy sent a clear message: The flag that symbolizes their right to love is political and not welcome at school.”

Sophomore Eve Barajas told the paper that the new flag policy was “a way of subtly just getting rid of it. Their defense was that the Pride flag may be a trigger for certain students. But if I had said that the American flag was a trigger to me, I would be treated like a terrorist.”

Yet, viewed differently, it would appear that liberals who have advocated disrespecting and desecrating the American flag for all the evil it supposedly represents now understand why patriots who love this country don’t want anyone taking a crap on it, literally or figuratively.

The Longshoremen are one of the largest and most powerful unions on the planet. Automation keeps getting tried but they tend to fight it kicking and screaming every step of the way, and not just through strikes but through legislation, lawsuits to prevent permits, etc. Shipping companies literally pay a fee to the Loreshoremen's union merely to have the right to automate loading processes, a right they're not allowed to exercise without the Longshoremen striking.
