Ripping Us Off
From the California Highway Patrol website:
“California Highway Patrol Registration Enforcement and Guidance (CHP REG) Program. Did you know the State of California loses millions of dollars a year in revenue from California residents who register their vehicles in other states or countries?
“Did you know vehicle registration fees are due immediately upon accepting employment or establishing residency in the state of California?
“Did you know California law permits only 20 days to complete the process of registering your vehicle without paying a penalty?”
In addition, California residents with vehicles registered outside of the state don’t contribute to the upkeep of the freeways and bridges they use.
I have spoken to several CHP officers and they admitted that the number is far greater than they report because they almost entirely rely on residents informing them of people living here but keeping their vehicle[s] registered in another state because of our HUGE licensing fees and also our very strict smog certification process.

Ineffective or Untruthful?
Democrats have spent decades fighting climate change, racism, sexism and homophobia, yet they tell us the problems are only getting worse. So either they are lying, or insanely horrible at their jobs.

ETHICALLY SPEAKING
Why We Remember
By David Hegg
On this Memorial Weekend, we pause to “memorialize” those who gave their lives in military service to the United States of America. They joined, trained and went in our place and for our benefit, adding the currency of their lives to the ongoing payment demanded for our liberty.
But, while the hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, and ribs are sizzling on the barbecue, take time to consider just what we are memorializing, and why we set aside a day to remember. What is it about these brave men and women who died in American uniforms that merits a day of reflection and gratitude? Here are a few suggestions for your consideration.
They understood that privilege does not negate responsibility. It once was understood that “from those to whom much is given, much is expected.” In years gone by, many left their “privileged” positions to defend the good life they and others had come to enjoy by donning their country’s uniform. They did not allow comfort and convenience to keep them from doing the right thing for God and country. What is essential for us to remember is that their ethical foundation did not place personal wealth and success above their neighbors’ well-being. When the call came to bear arms against those who would destroy life and liberty, they answered it out of a deep-seated passion to do what was right.
They went, knowing the path of truth and honor would be extremely difficult … and they went anyway. More and more, we are living in a society that considers the easiest path the best path. When we are inconvenienced, we express outrage. When our rights are stepped on, we cry out. And when someone offends us, we scream, yell, and too often litigate. We have become a nation of crybabies, always on the lookout for an issue over which to vent our supercilious disdain.
Those we remember this weekend looked hardship, deprivation, fear and even death in the face, and went anyway. As my father would have said, they had moxie. They had grit. At the core of their souls, they were tough, having already stood up to and battled through life’s
challenges. They knew how to work hard, to keep going when things got bad. They kept running when weary, and when they did fail, they didn’t blame it on anyone else. These were the men and women who, understanding their future was shrouded with the unknown, packed up their courage and said, “I’ll go where America needs me.”
They understood the welfare of the many as more important than their own. Today, we are witnessing the rise of individualism at a pace unknown in our country. We are fast becoming a nation of selfish, pragmatic individuals so intent on personal success and satisfaction that the ethic of looking out for the other guy has become a thing of derision. We think of ourselves, first, foremost, and finally, and frankly, it is killing us.
Those we remember this Memorial weekend surely had plans and dreams, but not at the expense of the call to love their neighbors. They knew they were part of something bigger than themselves, and when that something needed defending, they moved to do it with honor out of a deep sense of duty and love for America’s ideals. They understood that each individual and each generation must do their part to uphold America’s ideals and foundational values. And herein lies the greatest lesson we can learn. We memorialize those who died in service to us because it is their courage and loyalty to the fundamental ideals upon which America has always stood that have given us the privileges we enjoy today. They believed in something real and honorable, and they put their lives on the line to defend those beliefs, even to the point of death.
And so, as we remember, and reflect, and thank our God for those who gave the last full measure of devotion, we also must consider what our God is asking of us. May this Memorial weekend be a time of gratitude and remembrance, and corporate thanksgiving for God’s blessings. But may we also consider the part we all play in being a people and a country that can truly warrant his continued blessing. Happy Memorial Day!
