The Two-State Solution

No, not that two-state solution. After all, there never has been a nation called Palestine in human history, but there has been a nation called Israel for thousands of years. And so, I am not in favor of splitting the land God promised to Abraham and his descendants 4,000 years ago just to temporarily appease some displaced Syrians, Jordanians, Lebanese, Saudis, and other Levantine Arabs who want a place of their own.

However, I am 100% supportive of Assembly Joint Resolution 23, which was presented this week by California State Assemblymember James Gallagher. If enacted into law and approved by Congress, Mr. Gallagher’s plan would split the Golden State in two, creating a 51st state.

Specifically, Gallagher’s plan calls for the creation of a new U.S. state comprised of 35 inland California counties, including most of Northern California, the Sierra Nevada, Central Valley and Inland Empire.

"The people of inland California have been overlooked for too long," Gallagher said in a media release. "It's time for a two-state solution."

I just love the way Assemblymember Gallagher used one of the Left’s pet phrases against them, don’t you?

A commenter on X went even further, posting the following: "From the San Andreas to the Sea, ditch the libs and you'll be free."

Touche!

If Gallagher’s measure gains enough traction to force a vote, Gov. Gavin Newsom could lose 10 million residents overnight… and California would lose a bunch of electoral votes, too. So would Washington State and Oregon if the eastern counties of both of those states “succeed in seceding” and join neighboring Idaho, with whom they have a lot more in common politically.

In fact, 13 of 17 Oregon counties where the question was placed on the ballot have already voted to secede and join “Greater Idaho”… and in three of the other four counties the measure only lost by less than 3%.

Forget about gerrymandering. Succession should be the Democrats’ biggest concern because they have become a dwindling party limited to big cities, the Pacific coast, and the Northeast… and it’s hard to win a national election that way.

(Now, if only my friends back home in South Jersey would rise up and overthrow the tyrants north of Trenton. Viva la Revolution!)
