I was born in San Francisco and lived my entire life along the West Coast - up until 2020 when we moved to beautiful East TN. Spent 15 years in Portland most recently, but grew up in Seattle, Salem and spent 15 summers through high school in Southern CA.

I was born in San Francisco and lived my entire life along the West Coast - up until 2020 when we moved to beautiful East TN. Spent 15 years in Portland most recently, but grew up in Seattle, Salem and spent 15 summers through high school in Southern CA. I remember the wonderful things about California - there was no other place like it. Like Portland, I’ve watched the state deteriorate and crumble right before my eyes. Self inflicted wounds with no end in sight. Dr Malone, I used to blame state and local leadership too. Governors Newsom, Brown and Inslee are all horrific. Local DA’s have opened the floodgates to crime. City Mayors have defunded police. However, I ultimately realized that it was the people - the woke Progressive citizens - of which there are many, who continually approve and applaud this behavior. They demand justice (whatever they want this to mean) at unspeakable costs. I’ve talked to plenty of West Coast Progressives and it’s downright scary to hear what they have to say. As you know, they defend the actions and policies we decry. They’re utterly, truly lost. I fear for this country when so many of its people are not just willing participants in their own demise, but demanding of it.
