Did not see this mentioned in the news, so it wasn't that earth shaking (pun intended).

To be honest, I do not give two shakes about California.  Frankly, I think they are headed down a path that will result in them breaking away and becoming their own nation state.  I see northern California breaking away from it and remaining with the USA. 

Short of civil war, something has to give.  We cannot remain this fractured as a nation. 

The extreme idiocy of these liberal states will not have good outcomes.

The claims they make about global warming are just earth shaking these days
