Apologies

My blog got hacked at the start of the week; that’s why you haven’t been able to get in. The hackery has been resolved with the outstanding and patient help of my hosting service, Pair Networks, and you should be able to read to your heart’s content, again.

Unfortunately, as part of the cleanup, all users had to be deleted in order to be sure all the hackers had been deleted. Those of you who wish, or wished, to comment can still do so, but you’ll have to register again. For that, too, I apologize.

Idiotic

Only Progressive-Democrats could come up with such an idiotic idea, and then demand to spend taxpayer—average American—money on it.

California Assembly Bill 2586 has been passed by the State’s Progressive-Democrat-run Assembly, and it would

mandate[] that illegal immigrants with no US work authorization should be given access to apply for and take jobs provided through taxpayer-funded universities run by the state government.

It now sits in the State’s Progressive-Democrat-run Senate.

This is yet another example of Progressive-Democratic Party politicians’ utter contempt for us average Americans.
