there are too many inferences, conclusions and opinions that can be made from this essay i won't even try to make a list;

California has finally arrived. A female former California attorney general and U.S. senator is at the top of the Democrat presidential ticket. This is the culmination of generations of California politicians who have heavily influenced American politics and culture and are now, once again, on the verge of taking the top political office in the Free World.

“California is having a moment,” said Don Sipple, a California political strategist. To be more accurate, on a nationwide political basis, California has been having a lot of moments for decades.

California-native Richard Nixon became the 37th president in 1968 after losing to John F. Kennedy in 1960. Nixon was already a known commodity, having served as vice president to Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 and was re-elected in 1956. Nixon’s rise to prominence was largely due to his work on the House Un-American Activities Committee that exposed State Department official Alger Hiss as a spy for the Soviet Union.

Through his own actions and with a rabid media itching to take him down, Nixon has the historical distinction of being the only U.S. president to resign from office. Echoing history, there is a 50/50 chance of Biden’s resignation due to his inability to function as president, which could change this November’s election to allow Kamala Harris to run as an incumbent, possibly as this cycle’s October surprise.

When California Governor Ronald Reagan won the presidency and served from 1981 to 1989, he embodied the then-California profile of having a broad conservative streak yet with an open-mindedness to competing ideas. A former Democrat, like Donald Trump, and a union president, Reagan brought a big-tent pragmatism to Washington, D.C., eventually earning him the nickname “The Great Communicator.”

Both men rose to power in changing times, and their California roots played a prominent role in their attraction to the population. The Golden State, at the time, was viewed as having a forward-thinking culture with opportunity for growth and a climate-driven lifestyle unique among the 50 states (if it were an independent nation, California’s economy would rank as the fifth largest in the world). Since then, the gorgeous weather remains, but everything else has changed, including the political players.

California’s Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi have been very consequential Democrat members of Congress, serving a combined total of nearly seventy years in office. Feinstein and Pelosi governed well outside of the mainstream of America and promoted far-left issues that went against the best interests of the country.........more........
