Victors emerge in down-ballot statewide races (Democrats denied super-majority CA Senate)

12:20 a.m. Wednesday

California Democrats have been denied their supermajority in the state Senate.

Voters in an Orange County district on Tuesday elected former Republican Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang in a recall election against a Democrat.

Voters removed Democratic Sen. Josh Newman from office over his vote to raise gas taxes last year.

That means Senate Democrats won't hold the two-thirds majority needed to pass tax and fee increases.

Newman narrowly won the traditionally Republican district in the 2016 election, and both parties saw him as vulnerable.

A Republican-backed effort to repeal the tax increase is likely to be on the November ballot.

They could already monitor masturbating with a smart watch app. A new slant on winding the old wrist watch.

The race for governor will be costly and critical.

Remember, if Gavin Newsom wins he will mostly appoint the replacement for Diane Feinstein, because her clock is running out.

The photo should give everyone the creeps.

Tax sex activity, LOL.

I heard someone once joke about this. And they said it would raise huge amounts of revenue.

Why? How would anyone know what people are doing?

Well, the story goes, there are a certain number of men, who like to brag about their actions in this area of life. And the story goes, numerous men would report that they are getting a lot of this activity. And in so reporting, they will pay the tax for same.

“California Democrats have been denied their supermajority in the state Senate.”

Now lets get Cox in as governor.

Democrats evidently still don’t understand the significance of fed up patriots electing non-swamp Trump after eight years of the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress supporting lawless Obama.
