2 The administration says the decision is an effort to crackdown on 'fraud, waste and abuse.' The pause is temporary, pending the required documentation from the states.

Should be able to sort it out and resume funding in 5 to 10 years.

3 I thought this happened months ago. It’s like trying to cut off booze to an alcoholic and discovering that they are still boozed up.

4 Good. Sorry for you guys with common sense that live there , but you should have had more and moved.

You might ask yourself: Is it better to stay and fight or to cut your losses and leave?

Years ago I tried to convince Mrs. Uluque that California is going down the tubes and that we needed to move. She wouldn't budge. I understood how tough it would be to leave family and friends. It'd be hard to leave this place with it's considerable natural beauty and Mediterranean climate. What's the temperature where you live? Here it's in the high 70s.

It's nice in my back yard. Late in the afternoon when the sun's going down and I'm sitting there with a drink in my hand, it's really, really nice.

But I'm even more convinced now that we should have left. I tell my kids they should leave. They can't afford this place but they won't leave.

Democrats have a strangle hold on this state and they are all criminals. They steal and they cheat. They watch people dying on the streets and they don't care. They watch people being burned out of their houses and they don't care.

They can't send the required documentation to Kennedy's HHS because it would prove their crimes. They'll just tell the poor people who are counting on Medi-Cal Orange Man Bad and the media won't tell them any different. They they'll raise taxes.

7 Just got back from a little shopping trip. You should have seen the traffic on northbound Interstate 5. Some kind of a situation had it all stoppered up. Police vehicles had their lights flashing and sirens wailing as the headed for the problem, whatever it was. That's a common occurence around here and it's sure not getting any better. But, yeah, the clouds from the ocean rolled in and the weather is quite comforatable.
