California’s unemployment insurance agency, the Employment Development Department (EDD), has been a bastion of incompetence for years, if not decades, and its performance during the coronavirus pandemic has been beyond horrible. By mid-October, there were hundreds of thousands of claims that had been backlogged for months, and some claimants hadn’t...
Just when we think we’ve heard it all about California Warden Gov. Gavin Newsom’s “ill-advised” outing to The French Laundry a few weeks ago, well, we haven’t. For people who aren’t familiar with Napa, for all intents and purposes the entire county is one small town (my family first settled...
Since the time various shutdowns, stay-at-home orders, et cetera, were enacted to “slow the spread” of the Wuhan flu, the list of businesses and activities considered “essential” has been illogical at best. In California, marijuana dispensaries and liquor stores have remained open, while gyms and churches have been shut down....
It’s not a secret that college campuses are the incubator of terrible socialist ideas and policies, and that for at least two generations professors and administrators have been openly hostile to conservative thought or speech. Over the last decade or so that attitude has increasingly permeated the student bodies themselves,...

We covered Hunter Biden’s business ties to the Chinese Communist Party and Ukrainian energy companies extensively in the weeks leading up to this year’s general election, reporting on evidence showing that Hunter’s ties were more extensive and long-lasting than previously known, and now a Senate report compiled by two committees...
Since Donald Trump was elected president, we’ve seen startlingly accelerated progress toward totalitarian enforcement of Approved Speech, Approved Thought, and even Approved Clothing. At the top of the Unapproved Clothing list is the red Make America Great Again hat, as Nicholas Sandmann was made all too aware of back in...

As our Nick Arama covered earlier, California DNC member David Atkins believes it’s time to start “deprogramming” 75 million people in this country, apparently referring to everyone who voted for Donald Trump – and received a lot of backlash. Here’s the first tweet in his thread:
No seriously…how *do* you...
It’s been a wild 24 hours or so in Wayne County, Michigan, where the Board of Canvassers initially refused to certify the county’s results from the 2020 General Election, as Nick Arama covered. The vote was 2-2, along party lines, with the Republican members voting against certification. Those members, William...
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-GrandmaKiller) held a press conference Wednesday at which he announced “updated micro-cluster focus zones,” which roughly translates to, “areas in which I assert even more control over every aspect of your life.”
During the press conference, one reporter had a question about schools opening...

Immediately after ordering an immediate shutdown of 94 percent of the state (more details on that in a bit) and hinting that he might soon implement a statewide curfew, California Gov. Gavin Newsom offered a disgustingly tone-deaf terrible “apology” for his recent attendance at a friend’s 50th birthday party....
Bill Maher is completely insufferable about 98 percent of the time, and during the remaining time, he’s moderately insufferable while making a great point. The “New Rule” segment during the November 13 episode of “Real Time” is a perfect example of that two percent. Discussing the unmitigated disaster that the...
In an entirely predictable move, George Gascón’s first official meeting after winning the election to become Los Angeles’ next District Attorney was with Black Lives Matter-LA. The group campaigned heavily for Gascón, who also received significant funding from George Soros and his affiliated organizations and allies. During the campaign, Gascón...

Residents of dozens of California counties making up the newly formed “Southern California” region learned late Friday that unless something changes, the entire region will be under a stay-at-home order by Sunday, with strengthened restrictions on which businesses are considered “essential,” all on-site dining at restaurants prohibited (whether indoors or...
On this first Friday in December, California’s governor is on the verge of shutting down restaurants in the state to all on-site dining for an undetermined length of time, relegating them to pickup or delivery only during a time of the year many rely on to get them through leaner...
In the latest installment of Sounds Right we chat with our old friend and new-ish RedState contributor, Mike Miller. I first “met” Mike back in 2014 when we both wrote for IJ Review, where he was my editor. This week Mike’s been all over the Project Veritas/CNN conference call story...
This is infuriating on so many levels. As my colleague Scott Hounsell said when we recorded a podcast episode touching on this earlier today, what else do we expect when we (as a society, not RedState readers) give up so much of our freedom for (illusion of) safety? But, this...
Fraser Ross, owner of trendy Los Angeles boutique Kitson L.A., had at least $400,000 in damages to his stores during the weeks of rioting and looting loosely disguised as Black Lives Matter protests back in May and June, and he, like countless other retailers in California, has been severely affected...
