    People with ethics have little use for the state. Conversely, the state has little use for people with ethics.

    Guess which state has the highest poverty rate in the country? Not Mississippi, New Mexico, or West Virginia, but California, where nearly one out of five residents is poor. That’s according to the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure, which factors in the cost of housing, food, utilities and clothing, and which includes noncash government assistance as a form of income.

    New California Declares Independence From Rest Of State

    January 15, 2018 at 6:23 pm







    SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — With the reading of their own version of a Declaration of Independence, founders of the state of New California took the first steps to what they hope will eventually lead to statehood.
    To be clear, they don’t want to leave the United States, just California.
    “Well, it’s been ungovernable for a long time. High taxes, education, you name it, and we’re rated around 48th or 50th from a business climate and standpoint in California,” said founder Robert Paul Preston.
    The state of New California would incorporate most of the state’s rural counties, leaving the urban coastal counties to the current state of California.





    “There’s something wrong when you have a rural county such as this one, and you go down to Orange County which is mostly urban, and it has the same set of problems, and it happens because of how the state is being governed and taxed,” Preston said.
    But unlike other separation movements in the past the state of New California wants to do things by the book, citing Article 4, Section 3 of the US Constitution and working with the state legislature to get it done, similar to the way West Virginia was formed.
    “Yes. We have to demonstrate that we can govern ourselves before we are allowed to govern,” said founder Tom Reed.
    And despite obstacles, doubters, and obvious long odds the group stands united in their statehood dream.
    The group is organized with committees and a council of county representatives, but say it will take 10 to 18 months before they are ready to fully engage with the state legislature.

    Default At The Final Stage Of Collapse The Elite Loot The Treasuary

    LAPD spent millions on 'green' electric BMWs used for joyrides to nail salons, day lunches: report



    By

    Two years after the LAPD touted a multimillion-dollar purchase of a fleet of eco-friendly electric BMWS, the vehicles are being used for personal trips to grab lunch and -- in one instance -- a visit to a nail salon, according to a local report.





    BMW announced in 2016 that it had beaten Tesla and won a contract to supply the department with 100 all-electric plug-in vehicles to be used exclusively for community outreach and police business.
    But a CBS investigative team, which reviewed mileage logs and followed the BMWs when they left LAPD garages, found that officers appeared to have a loose interpretation of those guidelines.


    One BMW went straight to a Yoshinoya drive-thru and returned to a police station, CBS reported. Another headed for Loyola Marymount University and picked up someone for a lunch date, and a third deployed to a nail salon for an hour-long manicure.
    CBS reported that its investigative team followed Annemarie Sauer, commanding officer of LAPD fiscal operations, as she used a department-issued electric BMW to drive to a nail salon. Sauer, who reportedly spent more than an hour inside the salon and had been seen getting her nails done, said she had "no comment" when she was confronted by a CBS crew.
    When CBS showed LAPD Deputy Chief Jorge Villegas video of the officer using a department-owned BMW to head to the nail salon, he said it “doesn’t appear to be” appropriate and promised to look into the matter.


    Villegas said that overall, the electric car program has been successful, CBS reported.
    Mileage logs obtained by CBS News revealed that many of the cars were underused, posting only a few thousand miles in a fourteen-month period. One of the cars had only 400 miles in that approximate timeframe, according to CBS.
    Police sources told the network that officers were reluctant to use the cars because they can only go about 80-100 miles on a charge.
    The total cost of the three-year lease for the vehicles: approximately $1.4 million, plus another $1.5 million for the infrastructure to support the department’s growing stable of electric vehicles, according to the Los Angeles Times.
    "We should be thinking green in everything we do,” Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said in 2016, adding that the move to electric vehicles would “also save money and resources.”
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
