Once upon a time, California was the hottest destination in the entire
country.  Millions of young people poured into California in search of
a new life, and today it has the largest population of any U.S. state
by a very wide margin.  But now “the California Dream” has become “the
California Cesspool”, and residents are moving to other states on a
permanent basis in very large numbers.  In fact, at this point a lot
of California residents are even choosing to move to Mexico in order
to escape the state.  Decades of really bad decisions have turned the
Golden State into an endless nightmare, and there appears to be no
hope on the horizon.

Just look at what has happened to San Francisco.  It is one of the
wealthiest cities on the entire planet, but everywhere you look there
is squalor.

In recent days, a video that a Twitter user named Ricci Wynne posted
of children walking home through “one of the city’s open-air drug
dens” has already been watched more than two million times…

    San Francisco children were recorded on video having to walk past
what appeared to be one of the city’s open-air drug dens on their way
home from school.

    Ricci Wynne posted the video on Twitter last week, writing that
the students were getting off the 14 transit line on 8th and Mission
Streets when they encountered what appeared to be the homeless
encampment sprawled across the sidewalk.

San Francisco doesn’t have just one open air drug market.

They can now be found in multiple locations around the city, and the
authorities don’t seem interested in cleaning them up.

So for the children in Wynne’s video, wading through hordes of
zombified drug addicts on the way home has just become a part of
normal life.

    Now ask yourself this question would you want your children to
walk through this squalor just to get home from school? @JoeBiden @VP

Of course it could be argued that things are even worse down in Los Angeles.

The following is what one reporter encountered during a harrowing
visit to Skid Row…

    Walking down San Pedro Street to the heart of Skid Row, I see men
smoking methamphetamine in the open air and women selling bootleg
cigarettes on top of cardboard boxes. Around the corner, a man makes a
drug transaction from the window of a silver sedan, a woman in an
American-flag bandana flashes her vagina to onlookers, and a shirtless
man in a bleached-blond woman’s wig defecates behind a parked police
car. Slumped across the entryway of an old garment business, a
shoeless, middle-aged junkie injects heroin into his cracked, bare
feet.

The police could easily clear Skid Row at any time.

But the politicians won’t let them.

And despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars to fight drug
addiction and homelessness, the problem just keeps getting even worse
year after year…

    The scale of the crisis is astonishing: 40,000 homeless men and
women in Los Angeles County suffer from addiction, mental illness, or
both. More than 1,000 will die on the streets this year. As I survey
the human wreckage along Skid Row, my fear is that the city government
is creating a new class of “untouchables,” permanently disconnected
from the institutions of society. For the past decade, political
leaders have relied on two major policies to address the crisis—“harm
reduction” and “housing first”—but despite $619 million in spending in
2018, more people are on the streets than ever. The reality is that
Los Angeles has adopted a policy of containment: construct enough
“supportive housing” to placate the appetites of the social-services
bureaucracy, distribute enough needles to prevent an outbreak of
plague, and herd enough men and women into places like Skid Row, where
they will not disrupt the political fiction that everything is okay.

This is what life is like in big cities all over the west coast now.

Needless to say, this sort of environment is going to be a breeding
ground for crime, and so far this year robbery is up 21 percent in Los
Angeles…

    Robbery is up an astounding 21% from ytd 2021 in Los Angeles
according to lapdonline.org. Moreover, burglary, a non-violent
property crime without the use of weapons, is up 16.2% from ytd 2021
according to lapdonline.org. Unfortunately, businesses and the
citizens of the city are at an impasse on how to stem the rising
robbery rate.

The murder rate continues to surge higher as well.  During the first
half of 2022, the murder rate in the city was 35 percent higher than
it was during the first half of 2020…

    Halfway through the year, murders in Los Angeles are surging on a
wave of gun violence, following last year’s spike in crime.

    The city saw 172 homicides through June 18, a 5.5% increase from
the same period last year, and a 35% jump from the first half of 2020,
according to Los Angeles Police Department data. Four more murders
were registered in the past week, Los Angeles Police Department police
chief Michel Moore at the commissioners’ meeting Tuesday.

The politicians in California wanted to create their version of a
“liberal utopia” in the state.

Now they have it.

Meanwhile, scientists continue to warn us that the clock is ticking.
The entire west coast of the United States sits along “the Ring of
Fire”, and a simulation that was just conducted came to the conclusion
that a magnitude 7.5 earthquake on the Seattle Fault could potentially
produce a giant tsunami that could be over 40 feet tall…

    A simulation released by the Washington State Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) shows the impact of a 7.5-magnitude earthquake
on the Seattle Fault.

    “Tsunami waves could be as high as 42 feet at the Seattle Great
Wheel and will reach inland as far as Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park,”
Washington State DNR said in a tweet Thursday.

To put that in perspective, the tsunami that hit Fukushima, Japan many
years ago was only about 45 feet tall at the peak.

And if such an event does occur, residents of Seattle would have
“fewer than 3 minutes” to react…

    Scientists found that if a magnitude 7.5 earthquake were to occur
on the Seattle Fault, tsunami waves over 40 feet tall could reach the
Seattle area in fewer than 3 minutes.

We are being told that such an event will happen someday.

It is just a matter of time.

Personally, I have been warning for years about the potential for a
colossal tsunami along the California coastline.

The entire west coast is extremely vulnerable, but most people that
live there don’t like to think about such things.

Instead, most people that live there are just going to keep doing what
they are doing, and then one day everything will suddenly change in a
single moment.
