“California Governor was grinning wider and more unnervingly than an over-caffeinated chimpanzee indulging in alternating bouts of wild self-gratification and feces flinging.”

Ah Jeff! Tell us what you really think! 😆

Re rats and cars: rat plagues are common in Australia and rats really do like to eat the insulation around the electrical wiring system in car engines. This destroys the wiring and, in turn, does horrendous damage to the engine as a whole. We had a rat plague a few years ago in rural Tasmania and BOTH our cars had their engines destroyed by rats - very expensive to repair and it took over a month 😳

Some years ago when my husband and I were looking at a used car from a private party, he popped open the hood and what should we find but a nest of mice babies that had conveniently chewed the wires of the car. The car's owner was surprised and of course we did not buy that car haha. But now the joke is every time we go car shopping, we have to open up the hood and check-- "Nope, no mice in this one"

we just have squirrels eating our house. They chew on all the exposed wood especially where there are two roof sections that meet and leave a perfect place for them to hide. They like to get in attics, too, and eat your house from the inside out. And it's against the law to put squirrel poison out because squirrels are eaten by people. Yech!

Are you sure it is squirrels??? We had birds, of the woodpecker type, but not the piliated type, but still a wood pecker type put many holes in our house, then I think it was either chipmunks or squirrels PLUS mice doing other damage, cats are a good investment in this type of carnage, my cats would get up into the drop ceiling and even hunt there, we were curious what we had up there because at times you knew where the cats were but you saw the tile bulge down like something was sitting on it and could hear the scratching. Squirrel, coon? dunno. But when we went to replace some of those tiles did find a dead mouse on one of them.

Friend of a friend once had squirrels get into his car engine. $5K in electrical work later, finally got it running again.

Allegedly it is because the plastics they use to insulate the wires are formulated with a sugar. More brilliance from The Science.

We have squirrels eating the insulation off of wiring in cars because the insulation is soy based. I cannot verify that but something attracts the tree rats to engine wiring insulation.

Have heard same re rats, the cable coating is soy based and they enjoy chomping away on those cables.

My neighbors had squirrel problem and got some spray from Cabela that I think was a urine spray. I think from deer but don’t remember exactly. Sprayed it in the wires. Never had a problem again.

We were pretty amazed ourselves! We now hang rat baits inside the engines of our cars and check them weekly: when the baits look nibbled, we replace them

And simple old political machines. His grandfather William Newsom was a legal beagle fixer for Southern California Oil man "let my grandkid's ear be chopped off by Italian kidnappers" Getty to get special State tax breaks for his oil profits, then rewarded with judgeship by his big pal California Governor Pat Brown, father of Governor Jerry "Moon Beam" Brown.

Let's not forget former California Supreme Court Justice Warren, a product of the Brown machine, who popped up at the US Supreme Court and headed the Warren Commission to "investigate" JFK's murder. And facts Greusome Newson's aunt is Nancy Pelosi, a princess from the Baltimore political machine, after Greusome's parents' marriage imploded he was raised by a Getty heir who when his parent's marriage imploded was raised by the Newsomes! People in big power funded by endlessly deep payola pockets for over 60 years truly believe they are invulnerable royals.

Interestingly, DeSantis mentioned California's "Command and Control economy." That is a direct reference to "planned capitalism" or the economic system better known as fascism. Sure, private industry owns the means of production, but government gives direction and controls those means often through some kind of "business-government 'partnership'." Judging by California's economic status and decreasing resident numbers, I think we can see how "planned capitalism" is working out for them.

California has been very hostile to small businesses (as well as businesses in general) for decades. They do their best to tax them out of existence, and it’s not just our state government either.
