As California Burns, Gov. Newsom Signs Law for Transgender Prisoner Placement Based on Gender Identity
Meanwhile, hundreds of Bay Area workers take up Tulsa’s offer to pay them $10,000 to move there.
Currently, two dozen significant wildfires are burning in California, including one that is threatening the state’s wine country.
Parts of California’s wine country have been incinerated by a new wildfire that continues to burn out of control on Monday. Powerful winds — gusting up to 50 miles per hour — fanned the flames of the so-called Glass Fire overnight, more than quadrupling the number of acres burned in Napa and Sonoma counties.
At least three fires have now merged, forming the one massive inferno. The first blaze sparked early Sunday morning and was 0% contained as of early Monday, according to Cal Fire.
In an instant, home after home nestled along the hillsides quickly became kindling. Nearly 80,000 people have been ordered to evacuate as 8,500 structures are under threat.
Firefighters are flanking the edges of Santa Rosa – a city of 177,000 residents.
“Our number one concern is protecting lives and property and hopefully stop it from pushing farther where we don’t want it to go,” firefighter Dustin Blumenthal said.
Instead of pushing for infrastructure enhancements or new land management rules, Governor Gavin Newsom has decided to sign into law a new rule that allows transgender prisoners to be housed according to their gender identities.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation houses men and women in separate facilities, and transgender inmates often are housed based on their biological sex. Advocates have argued that this is dangerous, particularly for transgender women housed in male facilities.
The law says officers must ask inmates privately during the intake process if they identify as transgender, nonbinary or intersex. Those inmates can then request placement in a facility that houses either men or women.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation cannot deny requests solely because of inmates’ anatomy, sexual orientation or “a factor present” among other inmates at the facility, the law says.
The inmates also get to be addressed by the pronouns of their choice.
The law also requires officers to address transgender inmates based on the pronouns of their choice. And it requires officers to search inmates based on the search policy of their gender identity.
No wonder hundreds of Bay Area workers are taking a move-in deal being offered by one Oklahoma city.
How much money would it take to get you to leave the Bay Area? For hundreds of remote workers, it turns out that their price is $10,000.
Less than two weeks after ABC7 News profiled the Tulsa Remote program, officials say they have been flooded by hundreds of applicants looking to take them up on their offer to move to Oklahoma and work remote in exchange for $10,000.
Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, and Cisco are just a few of the companies that the applicants work for.

TY Leslie, funny thing, just yesterday I met a couple from Colorado. They mentioned a giant influx of people because of Charles Schwab leaving CA.
Newsom is a disaster. I call him Gov. Fulsome.
fiddling while rome burns, literally
lord
Tulsa paying SF. liberals to move there? If they have anymore of their own feet to shoot, Tulsa will reload.
Did Tulsa single out liberals for the ten grand?
Just playing the odds.

the only question left is; how long can you keep your feet dry?
Tulsa, and Oklahoma, will regret this encouraging Californians to move to Tulsa. Some will appreciate the freedom permanently, many (more?) will soon be asking what the government has done for them lately. Their answer to the question is always more government.
“The George Kaiser Family Foundation created the Tulsa Remote program……”
The Kaiser family are EXTREMELY Democrat Party LEFTISTS.
Just think Soros when you read Kaiser……
I remember when Oregon was seen as the refuge for Californians fleeing from liberal lunacy. Look how that turned out. Make them stay and fix the problems they helped create.
It is simple economics. In Portland one could buy a similar house for 1/3 the price in the Bay Area. In Tulsa it would be 1/9. As tech leaves the state there won’t be money to support the economy at the same level. Some of the tech companies are realizing that lower salaries needed to support the workforce means bigger profits, and/or just survival these days, for them.
On the Tulsa offer, IIRC Pryor OK has a Google data center so it kinda makes sense that some of their employees may want to move to the area. Pryor is not that far from Tulsa so if things work out and some of these people like it here it’s a good way for them to continue working for their company while enjoying living in a state that is well more stable and sane.

And helping to undermine it.
Newsom isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Well trained in what passes for conventional thought in his personal bubble, he lacks the true education necessary to think critically and respond to unexpected situations. All he can do is what he knows. And what he knows is that the people around him will praise him for moving transgenders into women’s prisons. He doesn’t understand or care about the people whose homes and businesses are being destroyed by the China Virus and the fires. I’m sure he would like to, but he lacks the intellectual abilities and tools. He was trained much as we would train a dog, not educated.
Dear biologically female inmates,
F-ck you.
Cordially,
The Honorable Gavin Newsom
Literally and figuratively.
i sense a vast increase in the number of trans females in the california penal system!
“if they identify as transgender, nonbinary or intersex”
It always amazes me that Democrats have no end of energy to educate themselves on the fine distinctions between “non-binary” and “intersex,” and yet are constitutionally unable to comprehend the distinction between “shall not be infringed” and “shall be prohibited.”
That’ll end well. 😐
Yet we Reptilians still get no love.

From Zero Hedge…..
“This was one of the main reasons for the covid scam. It was to transform how people work. Working remotely makes people easier to control, it minimizes a sense of community and atomizes society, destroys upwards mobility, eliminates millions of supporting businesses and infrastructure that have become expendable overnight, and reduces resource consumption. Admittedly this is more efficient, although I doubt that’s the reason it was done. In any case, I’m convinced that covid was a scam to rapidly transform society in such ways. The danger doesn’t justify it, the data has been in for months now, their predictions were dead wrong or they lied. Yet it continues, because they are running a massive scam.”
Rape in prisons will skyrocket.
But it will be mostly pieceful.

I am all for using whatever gender pronouns make you happy. You wanna wear dresses and have people call you Sally, that’s just fine too. But some things need to be dealt with according to actual biology. Prisons and Sports are two of those things.
