Texas House passes their election bill...

“We are disappointed that a few Democrats chose to return to the floor,” the 30 Democrats said in a joint statement on Friday. “We feel betrayed and heartbroken, but our resolve is strong and this fight is not over.”


Yeah, actually the fight is pretty much over. There will be some quibbling during the reconciliation of the House and Senate bills, but it will pass and pass shortly. The left will no doubt continue with their barrage of lawsuits (that take place anytime anything happens that they do not like) but there is nothing in this bill that is remotely unconstitutional or illegal.

The stunt was hurting Democrats with voting pubic. If they continued they likely lose their one leverage in legislative negotiations.

Karma for Democrats who want to eliminate the filibuster.

Yes it is a sad day for the US with the passage of this biased and targeted voting bill that is aimed at keeping people from voting and maintaining the power of the white dominated GOP as they slip farther behind in demographics and support....Paybacks will be a bitch and being the patient individual I am, fully expect the GOP to pay for their power grab in the near future!!!!!!

Being kind to Joe he has orchestrated
5.5 % inflation.

"“President Biden on Friday announced all federal civilian employees would receive an average 2.7 percent pay raise, consistent with the increases he had proposed in his 2022 budget,” the Washington Post reports"

Some 58 years after the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech at the first March on Washington, his son, Martin Luther King III, and other activists and advocates will participate in the March on for Voting Rights in the nation's capital on Saturday. The subsequent rally in D.C. and other cities across the U.S. will call on the federal government to protect and expand voting rights.

People will gather for the Washington march at 8 a.m. ET. The march itself will start at 9:45 a.m. and will proceed past Black Lives Matter Plaza, the White House and the Washington Monument, before ending in a closing rally that will run from noon to 3 p.m. Approximately 50,000 people are expected to attend, CBS Washington, D.C., affiliate WUSA reports.

The Republicans of this generation have given up on the American Dream of Pastor Martin Luther King Jr and Abraham Lincoln.

I was 12 years old

I saw the pictures in the local newspaper and eventually the CBS reporter Walter Cronkite reports on the television.

A 12" black and white television!.

That's when I got highly invested in the civil rights era.

But today the Republicans in Texas are reversing the civil rights acts.

Unfortunately they have the right to impose limits on turnout, in an attempt to maintain minority governance for a generation or more.

Republicans insist that the new measures are necessary to prevent voter fraud, playing off Trump’s lies about the 2020 election for political gain, but they haven’t been able to offer any proof that widespread voting fraud is an actual problem. Texas is one of many GOP-controlled states that have pushed voting restrictions in recent months, including Arizona, Georgia, and Iowa. Those changes have a twofold effect: Pleasing the GOP base and potentially making it harder for Democrats to vote and therefore easier to win elections in future years.

“There's no reason for this bill and no reason why we had to come back and no reason why you had to be here,”  Democratic Rep. Rafael Anchia said during the debate. “This is all about furtherance of the big lie.”

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

It also adds new voter ID requirements for mail voting, caps the amount of hours each day that voting is allowed to take place, bans counties from sending voters absentee ballot request forms, gives partisan poll watchers more power and access to polling places, requires larger counties to install cameras to observe voting, and creates new criminal penalties for people who assist voters in casting their ballots.

The poll watchers will threaten and question non white voters. It's a legal voting suppression legislation to keep minority power.

Texas is a purple state right now, but the big lie may keep it purple instead of becoming blue!

One more thing about this horror story.

Republicans also addressed the question of Sunday early voting hours. During the Legislature’s regular session, the measure would have prevented polls from opening before 1 p.m., which would hurt Black churches’ efforts to help voters cast ballots known as “souls to the polls.”

But the measure contains maddening nods to the increasingly ridiculous conspiracy theories of people who cannot accept that Donald Trump lost the presidency. One amendment would have Texas auditing four counties’ elections every cycle. In Texas and elsewhere, advocates have insisted that if we just examine the ballots and machines long enough, the sweeping plot against Trump will be revealed.

Some have targeted Tarrant County, essentially arguing that there must be fraud because Joe Biden won the county, the first Democrat to do so in decades. It couldn’t possibly be that Trump lost support among suburban voters, especially as the coronavirus pandemic raged, or that Fort Worth is growing and trending bluer each election.
very specific limitations Scott ignors because he hates liberals and again people of color




And requiring registration a full month before Election Day prevents people who tune in late to campaigns from exercising their rights. In a rational environment, trading improvements to that system for some of the restrictions Republicans want on mail-in ballots would make sense.

The bill heads back to the Senate, and if it rejects House changes, a conference committee will be needed to iron out details. In the regular session, such a committee produced major changes that neither chamber had a chance to consider. Lawmakers should avoid such sleight of hand this time.

The election bill is largely unnecessary. It’s particularly sad that so much rancor has been unleashed over elections that are generally clean and well-executed. The worst predictions of its effect, the idea that it will disenfranchise voters, is overstated.

It’s too bad the Legislature is beyond compromise on this important topic. The best thing that can happen now is that the measure gets no worse as the special session concludes and Texas moves on.

From The Lincoln Project, real Republicans



Ever since one of the authoritarian mob’s cheerleaders went on a weeklong love-fest with a dictator, their playbook is becoming increasingly open.

Look at the major stories right now and let’s unpack how each of them are being used to the Trump mob’s advantage. In every case, we are fighting back -- and we can win -- but the bottom line is they are counting on our and your inaction. Not every one of these may be a knockout blow for either side. But if we are not careful this will be death by a thousand cuts.

As the US continues its withdrawal from Afghanistan, the far right never misses an opportunity to stoke fear. They’re scaring people about Afghans (many of whom helped American soldiers at great personal risk) seeking freedom saying that we are letting the enemy in. It is typical fear mongering that obscures the real truth: The enemy is already here. The terrorists in this country right now aren’t the Afghans seeking freedom. They look a lot more like the people spreading the lies and fear.

If we let them distract us from the real threat, we are going to lose. We have been doing everything we can to call them out, spread the truth, and make sure they don’t win next year. Please help keep us in the fight if you can.

Speaking of the real threat. Biden’s approval took a hit this week but it’s clear that voters are much more focused on domestic issues -- COVID is still dominating. Biden’s approval is essentially meaningless right now but it is something to watch -- consider that the two times an incumbent party gained seats in the midterms since WWII had Presidents with approval ratings over 60. We may not need that this time but the sooner Biden can get COVID under control and get infrastructure done the more ammo we have against the MAGA mob.

Speaking of the mob, they’re still sacrificing lives to hold on to power. As Delta particularly ravages the states with Trumpist governors they are playing to the MAGA power center of the party rather than helping people.

We are stepping up our efforts to call DeSantis out and make sure he doesn’t win re-election or the nomination. Help us sustain our efforts in Florida today.

Other governors’ races are really going to matter next year too. They are going to have serious control over certification of 2024 results. Texas, Arizona, Georgia, and others will be crucial. We are already going up against Abbott and his cronies in Texas over mask mandates and more is coming.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

We are working in Arizona against Doug Ducey as well. Kelli Ward, the Trumpist GOP chair in Arizona (who censured Jeff Flake and John McCain’s widow, remember) claims that the Cyber Ninjas sham audit is a “domino” for the rest of the country. We all laugh at their bumbling efforts but tens of millions of dollars are coming in from shadowy foundations around the country to support their work. And Ducey is right there with them because he knows what his only chance to keep power is. We’re already putting Ducey on notice.

We asked you this week what you think the Lincoln Project’s top priorities for 2020 should be. Tens of thousands of you have already responded. (If you have not, click here to take the survey.) Overwhelmingly you said we need to hold everyone suppressing votes and rigging the playing field accountable. We hear you, and we are waking up every day planning new asymmetric strategies to take them on. Stay tuned for our work in some of these battleground states.

If we let them take control of the elections process, we are going to lose. We won’t let it happen.

It’s not just the hopefuls for the presidency that have been going full autocrat. When last week’s attempted Capitol bomber -- who threatened to detonate multiple bombs around DC unless Biden et al resigned and claimed he was “the South fighting back”, what was the reaction? A sitting Congressman and frontrunner for the mob’s Senate nomination put out a statement that amounted to a pat on the head and a wink to the next guy that tries something. Mo Brooks made it clear: he has their backs. And he is not alone.

But if you look at the Facebook pages the Capitol bomber liked you will notice this is not the work of one crazy radical. He was indoctrinated and ultimately induced to drive a truck full of explosives to our seat of government. “US Patriot News. Defense of Freedom. Trump World News.” and on and on. They are actively encouraging behavior like this. It is a trend that has gone on long before January 6th or even last November. But there is an alternate reality out there that the authoritarian mob has invested in, promoted, and is now starting to weaponize.

This is why we are building a powerful pro-democracy coalition to fight back. No longer can this be about anything other than beating the mob and restoring our democracy. Anyone who is not with us is a threat to democracy. Including corporations who have started to act like nothing ever happened and resume contributions to seditionists. Including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, GM, and many more. We already beat Toyota and more is coming.

If we let them go back to business as usual, we lose.

Afghanistan, COVID, and the Capitol bombing are all interconnected. None of this can be viewed in a vacuum anymore. We have to fight on all fronts.

I am excited to share some of our upcoming work with you in the next few weeks. We are gearing up because we must.

Thank you for keeping us in this fight.

-Steve

Why? Services start at 11 and end at 12 after which there is a Sunday lunch. By 1 p.m. the congregation can jump on the church bus or drive themselves to early voting. I would think a 1 p.m. open for early voting would make easier for a Black church or any church for that matter.

The reason early voting opens at 1 p.m. is that most Texans, Black, White, Hispanic, etc go to church on Sunday morning and they don't get out until 12 p.m. or 1 p.pm.

So basically this Democrat argument is a canard. And most Texans know it.

Where did it come from?

ISIS-K formed as a regional branch in early 2015 after the Islamic State (ISIS) swept across northern Iraq the year prior. The group is comprised of disaffected members who left the Pakistani Taliban and Afghan Taliban. 

Hafiz Saeed Khan — one of six Taliban leaders who left the Pakistani Taliban and pledged allegiance to ISIS’s then-leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi — was named the first head of ISIS-K, according to video posted on jihadi forums in 2015. The Pentagon confirmed Kahn was killed during a 2016 U.S. drone strike in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar Province.

Over time, the group has added recruits defecting from other extremist organizations in the region, including the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. 

Abdul Hasib succeeded Khan but was killed in 2017 by a joint Afghan and U.S. military raid. Shahab al-Muhajir has led ISIS-K since June 2020, according to a report from a UN Monitoring Team.

“It remains active and dangerous, particularly if it is able, by positioning itself as the sole pure rejectionist group in Afghanistan, to recruit disaffected Taliban and other militants to swell its ranks,” warned the report. 

Where is it located?

ISIS-K — despite the chapter weakening from military setbacks starting in 2018 — has maintained between 1,500 to 2,200 core fighters in small areas of Kunar and Nangarhar Provinces in northeast Afghanistan, according to the UN report. 

ISIS-K focused on setting up sleeper cells — groups of agents that work undercover until ordered to act — in Kabul during the October 2018 parliamentary elections, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. In a 2020 report, the Institute for Economics and Peace said the group was “believed to still have sleeper cells in cities such as Kabul and Jalalabad.” 

Despite having a historical region as part of its title, ISIS-K “disregards international borders and envisions its territory transcending nation-states like Afghanistan and Pakistan,” the Center for Strategic and International Studies said. 

What attacks has it claimed? 

ISIS-K is looking to increase its numbers of attacks and recruiting efforts, and “remains active and dangerous,” the U.N. report noted.

Most recently, ISIS-K has claimed responsibility for the deadly bombing attack outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, which killed at least 170 Afghans and 13 U.S. service members Thursday and injured hundreds more.

A suicide bomber “managed to reach a large gathering of translators and collaborators with the American army at 'Baran Camp' near Kabul Airport and detonated his explosive belt among them, killing about 60 people and wounding more than 100 others, including Taliban fighters,” ISIS said in a statement, according to Reuters.

ISIS-K has carried out 77 attacks in the first four months of this year compared to 21 in 2020, according to the UN report.  

The group is believed to be behind a May bombing that killed 90 people and wounded nearly 150 at a girls’ high school in Kabul.  

By 2018, ISIS-K ranked as one of the top four deadliest terrorist organizations in the world, according to the Institute for Economics and Peace’s Global Terrorism Index. 

A U.S. State Department report said it remained one of the most active ISIS affiliates, responsible for 110 incidents and 1,324 deaths that year in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

...

I'm pointing out that we should work together to defeat them, instead of calling for his resignation.


We killed two ISIS-K leaders last night.

They Dixiecrats become Republicans

Boy talk about gaslighting with the big lie.

Democrats were the overwhelming dominate party in south from the ratification of the constitution until 1980. (In fact I remember as a child you had to register as a Democrat to vote in elections and as late as 1976 they voted in block for Jimmy Carter.) The only Republicans where black people (i.e. Condelizza Rices's family) and the odd white professional.

And they weren't some offshoot "Dixiecrats". Throughout the 19th and through the mid 20th century they dominated Democrat politics.

The chief reason Democrats lost their hold on the south was two words; "air conditioning". This lead to a migration of companies, management personnel, professionals and other white collar workers to the new South. These people were mostly Republicans and evangelical Christians. When they critical mass the south became Republican.

All of the racist who pre-dated the Republican migration were still Democrats. To them the Republican Party was still the party of the carpet bagger and black man.

Statement by President Joe Biden on the Evacuation Mission in Kabul

AUGUST 28, 2021STATEMENTS AND RELEASES

This morning, I met with my national security team in Washington and my commanders in the field. We discussed the strike that U.S. forces took last night against the terrorist group ISIS-K in Afghanistan. I said we would go after the group responsible for the attack on our troops and innocent civilians in Kabul, and we have. This strike was not the last. We will continue to hunt down any person involved in that heinous attack and make them pay. Whenever anyone seeks to harm the United States or attack our troops, we will respond. That will never be in doubt. I thanked General McKenzie for his leadership of that mission, and for his commitment to the safety of our troops in Afghanistan.

The situation on the ground continues to be extremely dangerous, and the threat of terrorist attacks on the airport remains high. Our commanders informed me that an attack is highly likely in the next 24-36 hours. I directed them to take every possible measure to prioritize force protection, and ensured that they have all the authorities, resources and plans to protect our men and women on the ground. They assured me that they did, and that they could take these measures while completing the mission and safely retrograding our personnel.

Despite the treacherous situation in Kabul, we are continuing to evacuate civilians. Yesterday, we brought out another 6,800 people, including hundreds of Americans. And today, we discussed the ongoing preparations to help people continue to leave Afghanistan after our military departs.

He is not abandoning any one

The 13 service members that we lost were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our highest American ideals and while saving the lives of others. Their bravery and selflessness has enabled more than 117,000 people at risk to reach safety thus far. May God protect our troops and all those standing watch in these dangerous days.

How FDR Saved Capitalism

by Seymour Martin Lipset, Gary Marks

Tuesday, January 30, 2001

With the coming of the Great Depression in the 1930s, a sharp increase in protest and anticapitalist sentiment threatened to undermine the existing political system and create new political parties. The findings of diverse opinion polls, as well as the electoral support given to local radical, progressive, and prolabor candidates, indicate that a large minority of Americans were ready to back social democratic proposals. It is significant, then, that even with the growth of class consciousness in America, no national third party was able to break the duopoly of the Democratic and Republican Parties. Radicals who operated within the two-party system were often able to achieve local victories, but these accomplishments never culminated in the creation of a sustainable third party or left-wing ideological movement. The thirties dramatically demonstrated not only the power of America’s coalitional two-party system to dissuade a national third party but also the deeply antistatist, individualistic character of its electorate.

Illustration by Taylor Jones for the Hoover Digest.

The politics of the 1930s furnishes us with an excellent example of the way the American presidential system has worked to frustrate third-party efforts. Franklin D. Roosevelt played a unique role in keeping the country politically stable during its greatest economic crisis. But he did so in classic or traditional fashion. He spent considerable time wooing those on the left. And though many leftists recognized that Roosevelt was trying to save capitalism, they could not afford to risk his defeat by supporting a national third party.

The Nation Shifts to the Left

Powerful leftist third-party movements emerged in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and New York. In other states, radicals successfully advanced alternative political movements by pursuing a strategy of running in major-party primaries. In California, Upton Sinclair, who had run as a Socialist for governor in 1932 and received 50,000 votes, organized the End Poverty in California (EPIC) movement, which won a majority in the 1934 Democratic gubernatorial primaries. He was defeated after a bitter business-financed campaign in the general election, though he secured more than 900,000 votes (37 percent of the total). By 1938, former EPIC leaders had captured the California governorship and a U.S. Senate seat.

In Washington and Oregon, the Commonwealth Federations, patterning themselves after the social democratic Cooperative Commonwealth Federation of Canada, won a number of state and congressional posts and controlled the state Democratic Parties for several years. In North Dakota, the revived radical Nonpartisan League, still operating within the Republican Party, won the governorship, a U.S. Senate seat, and both congressional seats in 1932 and continued to win other elections throughout the decade. In Minnesota, the Farmer-Labor Party captured the governorship and five house seats. Wisconsin, too, witnessed an electorally powerful Progressive Party backed by the Socialists.

The south went Democratic after the civil war era

You're grossly ignorant of history. Democrats dominated the south as the party of the ruling class. They consisted of plantation owners with quite a bit invested in slaves. (Ironically the founder of the party was Thomas Jefferson and John Madison)

They dominated the south so much that Abraham Lincoln wasn't even on the ballot in most Southern States. And the real traitors were the Democrat politicians who voted for succession from the union.

It continued after FDR saved the world from Communism

When FDR died the communist were still our allies and there was a lot of WWII propaganda posters and movies praising the benevolent "Uncle Joe". This was lead by none other than the New York Times. (Strange how little has changed). The diplomatic split from the Soviet Union didn't occur until 1947 (about the time we learned the Democrat party and Roosevelt administration was infested with soviet spys).

Truman was the author of the US containment policy. However the real saviour of the world from communism was Ronald Reagan who destroyed the Soviet Union and ended the Cold War.

That was about the last major US diplomatic victory.

2. The proposition that his recovery was successful is debatable. In terms are real GP growth, it wasn't. In fact the Wall Street crash was followed by an economic contraction followed by an economic stagnation until WWII where the biggest employer of male workers was the US military.

Hurricane Ida, which is expected to strike Louisiana as a life-threatening Category 4 storm with wind speeds of 140 mph, will be one of the strongest to hit the state since at least the 1850s, the governor told reporters Saturday.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service "are extremely confident in the current track and the intensity as forecasted for Hurricane Ida, and you don't really hear them speaking very often about that level of confidence," Gov. John Bel Edwards said during an afternoon briefing.

They made wages not just a place to live.


It's impossible to speculate about how the Second World War changed the economy.

In fact it was that massive government spending ended the great Depression and the Second World War.


People like you would have opposed the Marshall plan in Europe and NATO because your an isolationist.

UPDATED: MAR 31, 2021

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a work relief program that gave millions of young men employment on environmental projects during the Great Depression. Considered by many to be one of the most successful of Roosevelt’s New Deal programs, the CCC planted more than three billion trees and constructed trails and shelters in more than 800 parks nationwide during its nine years of existence. The CCC helped to shape the modern national and state park systems we enjoy today.


CCC and the New Deal

WATCH: Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal
President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, with an executive order on April 5, 1933.


The CCC combined FDR’s interests in conservation and universal service for youth. As governor of New York, he had run a similar program on a smaller scale.

The United States Army helped to solve an early logistical problem – transportation. Most of the unemployed men were in Eastern cities while much of the conservation work was in the West.

The Army organized the transportation of thousands of enrollees to work camps around the country. By July 1, 1933, 1,433 working camps had been established and more than 300,000 men put to work. It was the most rapid peacetime mobilization in American history.

Under the guidance of the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service and the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, CCC employees fought forest fires, planted trees, cleared and maintained access roads, re-seeded grazing lands and implemented soil-erosion controls.

Additionally, they built wildlife refuges, fish-rearing facilities, water storage basins and animal shelters. To encourage citizens to get out and enjoy America’s natural resources, FDR authorized the CCC to build bridges and campground facilities.

CCC Camps
The CCC enrolled mostly young, unskilled and unemployed men between the ages of 18 and 25. The men came primarily from families on government assistance. Men enlisted for a minimum of six months.


Each worker received $30 in payment per month for his services in addition to room and board at a work camp. The men were required to send $22 to 25 of their monthly earnings home to support their families.

Some corpsmen received supplemental basic and vocational education while they served. In fact, it’s estimated that some 57,000 illiterate men learned to read and write in CCC camps.


Civilian Conservation Corps recruits arrive to set up their first reforestation work camp in Powell's Fort, Virginia, on April 18, 1933. The CCC was a New Deal-era massive environmental improvement program that recruited nearly 3 million young American men from 1933-1942. The men were paid $30 a month, $25 of which was sent directly to their families.

It demonstrably did not:

We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started And an enormous debt to boot!

For the first and last time the country's economy was put on a war footing.

But it wasn't spending on the Second World War that brought the country out of depression. After WWII the US was the only country left with it's industrial base intact.

That meant for the late 40's and 50's the whole world was a US market. They sold them cars, planes, trains, rails, industrial equipment, food. anything under the sun.

Government spending never did anything but ballon the debt.

People knew it was wrong then. There was no mindset that said it was right.

It's interesting though that people who were quick to condemn America for 300 years of "systemic racism" are the same people who give FDR a pass over putting Japanese-American citizens in concentration camps.

It also requests information on the companies’ communications with law enforcement regarding Jan. 6 and the election, as well as on their reporting practices.”

“New research from England’s public health service has confirmed a suspicion spawned by bursting hospital wards across the United States: The Delta variant of the coronavirus not only spreads 50% more readily than the Alpha variant it rapidly overtook, it’s also making unvaccinated people sicker,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“Through most of April and May, unvaccinated Britons who were infected by the Delta variant were more than twice as likely to be admitted to hospitals than were their unvaccinated peers who were infected with the Alpha strain, which was first identified in the United Kingdom.”

“In addition, unvaccinated people infected with Delta were more likely than those infected with Alpha to seek care in a hospital’s emergency department.”

Florida Starts Turning on DeSantis

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been untouchable for the past year as he commanded the Republican culture wars to become heir apparent to Donald Trump. The latest coronavirus surge is starting to change that,” Politico reports.

“Covid infection rates continue to climb as the state faces shortages of health care staff, morgue space and even oxygen for patients. About 16,000 people are hospitalized. Child infection rates have shot up. School districts — even in Republican strongholds — have rebelled against DeSantis’ anti-mask mandates. And cruise lines are resisting DeSantis’ vaccine passport ban. Even his recent poll numbers are slipping.”


Millions of Americans Face Financial Cliff
August 28, 2021 at 7:48 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 94 Comments

Washington Post: “The clock is now ticking for millions of Americans who are set to face a series of stinging financial hardships in a matter of days, with the loss of federal protections against eviction and looming cuts to their weekly unemployment checks…”

“The developments portend a potential shock to the economy, and they highlight the difficult political realities even in Democratic-dominated Washington. Biden has only so much power to act on his own to provide pandemic relief, and lawmakers in his party do not always see eye to eye about the need for additional economic stimulus.”

“Caught in the middle are millions of Americans who have relied on these generous but temporary federal programs to pay their bills since the coronavirus first swept the nation in March 2020. With fewer federal protections at their disposal, the financial hardships they face may only intensify, especially as new variants threaten to shutter businesses and schools — and overrun hospitals with patients — in communities already ravaged by the pandemic.”

In those days the hatred toward anything Japanese was so great, only a few people, like J. Edgar Hoover, of the FBI objected to this decision. Some Japanese American neighbors, took over the internees farms and gave them back when they returned, but on the whole it was viewed as necessary. Especially by the West Coast Commander General DeWitt and Ca Governor Earl Warren.
