    Here we go, the people who demand free and unfettered travel by foreigners sneaking into to this country and who literally sued to prevent travel bans, have just announced their 11th travel ban.

    California essentially built a financial wall between it’s people and the states they are intolerant of.

    Hypocrites.

    Full title
    California Bans State-Sponsored Travel to Iowa over Refusal to Provide Medicaid Coverage for Gender-Reassignment Surgeries

    California added an eleventh state to its travel blacklist on Friday, banning state-sponsored travel to Iowa over that state’s refusal to cover gender-transition surgeries under its Medicaid program.

    California attorney general Xavier Becerra announced the decision to add Iowa to the travel-ban list, which takes effect October 4 and means public employees and college students will not be able to travel to Iowa on the taxpayer’s dime.

    Ya know, Knees Harris and ORourke seem to have a ban for everything that ails ya, so I wonder if they'll avoid traveling to this state?

    You guys are so funny. Not right, but funny.

    Think of it like one of your wedding cake cases. :)

    Ever notice that when a liberal doesn't like something, rather then just ignore it, they go out of their way so that no one can enjoy what ever it is?

    It’s discriminatory, intolerant, bigoted and hateful.

    Why are they traveling on the tax dollars? What gives them that opportunity?

    They have college sports teams which travel to many states, But I doubt they’re included in this ban. Keep in mind CA government workers have traveled to Venezuela and China so they could learn how to improve their state.

    States rights unless we don’t agree with what the state chooses!

    State environmental regulations, bad
    Assigning your electors to the NPV, bad
    Determining where state taxpayer dollars go, bad

    Gerrymandering, good
    Voter suppression, good
    Opening up public protected lands for drilling, good
    Eminent domain for a wall, good

    I don't see anyone trying to stop them.

    By the way, did you know that the Constitution requires state governments to be republics, not communist?

    Only if you want their taxpayer dollars.
    Seeing that Iowa is over halfway across the nation I doubt it will be a great loss.

    They also banned plastic straws, trapping fur bearing animals, single use plastic bags but sadly, not soon enough, brain damaging insecticides. There have been millions of victims of the latter problem.

    This ban is just a nothingburger. I seriously doubt Iowa gives a damn.

    The irony of you saying this and accusing others of being like this is beyond measure. Have you read your posts before?

    A step in the right direction. They need to go further and ban all out state emigration of their citizenry.... and enforce it with a wall. As a bonus they should also ban California elites from building public housing in middle class neighborhoods in other states (which they have done here using the force of government) and buying out politicians in local elections in other states. The elites know they have never had it as good as they do in California and are working overtime to spread the infection.

    Meanwhile it careens its way towards 50% of its people in poverty. This is a civilization dying.

    They want the taxpayer to pay for sex change operations? WTF? And bully others to have them do the same on top of it?

    This is beyond insulting to anyone who has relatives suffering from *actual* diseases who struggle to pay for treatment.

    They want universal healthcare also — the right is the one pushing against that so intensely.

    If people that are suffering from *actual* diseases, or their family and friends, want to be upset with someone they should be upset with the right.
