Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, is expected to sign the bill into law. Under it, parents who refuse to participate in transgenderism by pretending that their child is a different gender could be guilty of failing to provide for the “health, safety, and welfare” of their child—therefore losing custody to another parent or the state.

If Newsom has any presidential aspirations at all, he won't sign this bill into law. On the other hand, if our owners believe it's beneficial for them to have him in the White House, the people's voices will be counted accordingly.

The wife and I have decided it's long past time for us to leave this failed social experiment of a state, and spend our remaining years in a community that isn't umbilically tethered to the current thing our owners media needs us to believe is the current thing.

I wish for my own.... 😕😔

I cannot believe that at 6 and 7 gens here I personally fear the future of my grandkids' lives and freedoms to simply exist as individuals and think as they choose. 😶

Unfortunately, all 6 grandkids and 1 of 2 kids are deeply rooted in CA and do not seem to grasp what is happening- and other daughter is in NYS!

So all I can do is maintain a debt free no questions asked home/refuge at least kinda on the fringe of the worst crazy Blue zones, organize as much educational and food resources and independent sustainability here as can be subtly and affordably done, and make sure that fact is quietly in their awareness as things become more and more oppressive and unavoidable in the multiple core zones they all chose to stay in...

I feel you sdl5.

While not a native, I've been here since the mid 70's. Kicked around for a while and accidentally met the craziest, most unpredictable, meanest, most loving schizophrenic woman on the planet.

So I married her, and much to our constant amazement, we loved/hated each other so much we decided to buy a home, raise a family, and build a life here.

Sadly, we've determined that this state we've chosen to call home is getting crazier than we are. They've won. We no longer have the insanity required to compete with the pro's.

We live on the fringes ourselves, far enough from the Bay Area and it's refugees to have a little buffer from the professionally manufactured corporate beings who infect the place.

Or so we thought initially... the plague spreads.

Two of our three adult children want out as well, so we plan...

Your decision to relocate is understandable but what a PITA. I think you and I are about the same age and I just don't have the stamina to do the same. Fortunately, I don't have kids or grandkids living here that I need to worry about being subjected to these insane, fascist policies. That said, who knows what these idiots will come up with next.

We're fortunate that two of our three adult children, along with their children, want to GTFO of here as well. The remainer is single, and doing relatively well for himself here.

We're looking to sell out here, buy some acreage large enough to subdivide amongst ourselves so that we're close, but not so close as to be in each other's business all the time. When my wife and I are finished living, our portion of the "compound" will become theirs to do with as they wish.

It's all still all up in the air right now, but we've made some inquiries and have a few prospects to consider. Yeah, on the one hand it's definitely going to be a PITA, but on the other hand, the consensus among us is that it will be an adventure worth embarking on.

We'll see...

At least your remainer will eventually have a new, established home place to escape to if he ever finds the California madness unbearable. Hope you'll give us occasional updates on your adventure as it evolves, I'm sure people here would be interested.

There's still a lot of details that need to be worked out yet. Once we collectively decide on the where, the individual details surrounding the hows need to be ironed out.

The misses and I are retired, and very soon to be, so those things aren't as important to us as they are to the kids who still need to support their families in their new environment. If and when it does evolve, I'll post blurbs about the Berry family's excellent exodus from old insanity to new.

Sounds like you're all going about it in the right (smart) way, looking forward to hearing more on BerryBoy's Excellent Adventure.
