Image: The USS Cyane (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cyane_(1837)) taking San Diego 1846. Bill Whalen: @Hooverwhalen, @HooverInst,Area 45 blog, in re: The Magic Kingdom for the troubled Golden State. Gov Gavin Newsom is under pressure because of the recall petition. April 29 will be 100 days of the Biden presidency: Biden promised to have schools reopened by then, but teachers aren’t in a hurry, They all want to be inoculated first, also, “only so long as the school is covid-free.” Mayor Bree said schools won’t be open this year. Newsom won’t pressure teachers because he’s a wholly-owned subsidiary of the teachers union. Things are so rough in California that they might actually elect a businessperson—maybe Bob Iger, who ran Disney. Rolling blackouts, Disneyland. Hackers have ripped off billions from the state. Voters are angry. https://www.hoover.org/research/iger-sanction
