Chevron is letting customers know in California that it’s not Donald Trump causing the insane gas prices in the state, it’s California Democrats

Chevron just added these new signs to their pumps educating customers, “Sacramento policies did this. Now you pay more”

“California politicians are choosing foreign oil and fuels over local jobs and lower costs”

This is what we need. Huge companies willing to educate the public and tell the truth

It’s Gavin Newsom and Democrat policies causing $6.30+ average cost per gallon in California

Please tell me this account got hacked because this is beyond bad, and P.S. Kamala, even half-assing a little research could help you because on June 13, 2022 when you were VP gas was $4.67 per gallon for regular unleaded gas in North Carolina. That number is higher than the number behind you (in case you were having trouble with the math).

Can we just take a second here and admit something that the regime media and the foreign policy geniuses in Washington will never say out loud? President Trump just dropped the hammer on Iran—and it’s not just tough, it’s brilliant. Absolute chess move.

After Tehran laughed in our face and refused to play ball on the terms we laid out—no more nuclear games, no more shaking down the world for passage through the Strait of Hormuz—Trump didn’t blink. He announced a full naval blockade of the Persian Gulf. No ships in, no ships out. And here’s the part that should have every oil trader and every globalist suit sweating through their overpriced suits: he’s redirecting those tankers straight to the Gulf of America. Buy American oil. Pay in U.S. dollars. End of story.

Why is this genius? Let me break it down like the simple truth it is.

First, it ends the extortion racket without sending a single American boot into another Middle Eastern quagmire. Iran thought they could turn the world’s most important oil choke point into their personal toll booth. Wrong. Trump just flipped the script: you don’t control the flow anymore. We do. The same Navy that’s been babysitting the planet for decades is now finally working for us. No more free security for countries that hate us while they get rich off our protection.

Second, it supercharges American energy dominance. We’re sitting on more oil and gas than anyone else on Earth. Block the Gulf, prices spike everywhere else, and suddenly every country that needs crude—Europe, Asia, whoever—has one logical place to go: right here. Gulf of America terminals firing on all cylinders. American workers. American profits. American dollars. The petrodollar doesn’t just survive; it gets a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart. While the rest of the world scrambles, we’re printing money and telling our enemies to pound sand.

Third, it exposes the whole rotten global order for what it is. For years, we’ve been told we have to play nice, subsidize everyone else’s defense, and let hostile regimes dictate energy prices. Trump just said: no thanks. This isn’t “escalation.” It’s accountability. Iran wanted to play pirate in international waters? Fine. Now they get to watch their economy choke while American energy booms. China and India want cheap oil? Better start buying it from the country that actually produces it instead of funding the mullahs who hate us.

The usual suspects are already screaming about “warmongering” and “oil prices” and how this is all so very complicated. Spare me. The complicated part was pretending America wasn’t the strongest kid on the block. Trump just reminded everyone—especially our adversaries—that we don’t have to beg or bribe or negotiate from weakness. We set the terms now.

This is what America First actually looks like when it’s executed by someone who means it. No forever wars. No blank checks. Just raw, unapologetic leverage that puts American workers, American energy, and American strength first. And the best part? The Iranians are the ones who forced his hand. They chose this. Trump just made them regret it.

God bless the guy. In a town full of people who couldn’t negotiate their way out of a wet paper bag, he just reminded the world who runs the table.

[Trump2024 @95377_guy]

@ImBreckWorsham Without accusation? That’s complete BS. The fake photos are enough, the social Media storm is enough, she also named the specific people who defamed her with false accusations and put the world on notice.
“Imbreckworsham” might be hearing from Melania’s lawyers soon

Gavin Newsom's State Medicaid program ‘Medi-Cal’ is losing $146 BILLION per year to fraud.

The level of fraud in California is insane.

🚨🚨We 100% stand by our Gavin Newsom bronze-bust vanity project story, which my co-author @JeddMcFatter uncovered in our new book: "Fool's Gold: The Radicals, Con-Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All."

"Team Newsom is afraid of the shocking revelations in FOOL’S GOLD—which is backed by more than forty-five pages of endnotes containing more than 1,000 open-source reputable and verifiable citations with zero anonymous sources—and that is why they are trying to smear this book,” said Susan Crabtree, the book's co-author.

"The simple fact is that no one knew that Gavin Newsom used a corrupt pay-to-play funding mechanism called ‘behested payments’ to solicit funds from his own companies to erect a monument to himself inside San Francisco City Hall until we followed the money and unearthed the obscure documents,” Crabtree stated. “Furthermore, Newsom’s team has thus far refused to answer whether his companies got a tax break for funding this ‘charitable’ statue; just like Newsom’s wildfire windfalls and shady CCP ties, his statute is a scandal, and we stand by our reporting."

To learn all about Newsom’s role in California’s downward spiral, read our book, 💰Fool’s Gold: The Radicals, Con-Artists, and Traitors that Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All💰.

@Microinteracti1 @IlvesToomas Simply false. Meloni DID NOT deny the use of bases. @Microinteracti1 is trying to build a false narrative. Aka he’s a liar.
A left wing defense official denied the landing of jets in Sicily.
Sicilians are lefty’s and consider themselves independent in many ways.

[Trump2024 @95377_guy]

@Microinteracti1 @IlvesToomas This is a falsely premised post w a few words out of context from Meloni to try to make it appear she disagrees with Trump.
She disagrees with the left wing in 🇮🇹, and it was a lefty official who unilaterally denied the landing in Sicily. Meloni did not make that decision.

In 2023 Gavin Newsom did what he called a "Red State" tour and visited Alabama, Florida and a few other red states.

Newsom's wife said she brought her children to the red states so they could learn about racism, sexism, and bullying first hand.

@GavinNewsom You REALLY ought to sit this one out, jackass!

[Trump2024 @95377_guy]

@GavinNewsom What a thin skinned idiot. What a cry baby. When was the last time you cared about opinions of a fox news pundit? Never. But now it's oh poor me, they are so mean, elect me President. t's not working. Your political career is nearly over, just go away quietly

Somebody is about to lose their government contracts.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: A $15+ MILLION DOE contractor and NoKings protest organizer with active nuclear security contracts is on camera recommending a color revolution "how-to" 🚨🚨

His name is Steven A. Cash. Former CIA officer (Balkans, Clinton era). Under Biden: Senior Advisor to the Undersecretary at DHS Intelligence & Analysis.

The day after Trump's 2016 election, Cash co-founded "The Steady State" — a network of more than 340 former intelligence community officials who decided Trump was an "existential threat".

When Biden won, the threat was gone. Cash went into Biden's DHS. His own words: "we disappeared."

Then Trump won again. "Suddenly the existential threat was back." The Steady State reactivated and is now a planning partner with NoKings. In the clip below, their meeting recommends "Bringing Down a Dictator" — the Otpor documentary about toppling Milošević — as "a how-to."

Meanwhile, Cash's company Deck Prism LLC holds $15+ million in Department of Energy contracts. Almost every one: sole-source or non-competed. One is for the National Nuclear Security Administration — our nuclear weapons program — justified because "disclosure would compromise national security."

His FEC records: 20+ donations over 20 years. 100% Democratic. Zero Republican. Including $1,001 to Kamala Harris on August 4, 2024, while his NNSA nuclear contract was active.

I have the USAspending receipts, the FEC filings, and him on camera twice.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

California's pension fund pays its biggest check to its own former investment manager: $𝟰𝟱𝟯,𝟲𝟵𝟱 𝗮 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿. The state's pension systems owe $𝟮𝟲𝟱 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 more than they have, and taxpayers are covering the tab.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟵 𝗟𝗶𝗲

In 1999, CalPERS told the legislature that SB 400, a massive retroactive pension boost, would cost "not a dime of additional taxpayer money." They gave cops and firefighters 𝟯% 𝗮𝘁 𝟱𝟬, meaning 90% of final salary as a pension at age 50 with 30 years of service. CalPERS's own actuaries used fantasy investment returns to justify it.

The result in FY2024:

- 𝗖𝗛𝗣 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲: $915.6M in annual pension payouts, average full-career pension $99,832
- 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲: $426.5M in payouts, average $97,626
- 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆: $841.6M in payouts, average $100,061

"Not a dime." Now cities pay 𝟱𝟬-𝟳𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 just to cover pension contributions. That's money not going to roads, parks, or actual public safety.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲

Before PEPRA reforms in 2013, employees gamed the system to inflate their pensions for life:

- 𝗩𝗮𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀: One sanitary district manager cashed out 17 weeks of unused leave, spiking his pension by 37% to $217,216/year
- 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: Safety employees maxed overtime in their final year to inflate the salary their pension is calculated on
- 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Housing allowances, car stipends, bilingual pay, education bonuses, all counted as pensionable income
- 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗺: That $551,688 pension from the hook? A city administrator serving 112 residents. CalPERS eventually slashed it to ~$115,000 after finding most of it was based on non-pensionable pay

The top legitimate CalPERS pension in 2024: $𝟰𝟱𝟯,𝟲𝟵𝟱/𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 to a former CalPERS investment manager. The fund's own employee gets the biggest check. You can't make this up.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 $𝟭𝟬𝟬𝗞 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯

Those spiked pensions add up. The number of CalPERS retirees collecting $100,000+ pensions:

- 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟮: 14,650
- 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟲: 22,826
- 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬: 40,060
- 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵: 173% in eight years

These 40,000 retirees are 5.5% of all CalPERS pensioners but collect 19.5% of total payouts. Statewide across all pension systems, an estimated 𝟴𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬-𝟵𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 California government retirees pull six figures annually.

𝗣𝗘𝗣𝗥𝗔 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴

The 2013 reform only applies to employees hired after January 1, 2013. Every "classic" employee hired before that date keeps the old formula. The $100K club tripled 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 PEPRA passed because the reform doesn't touch existing employees or retirees. The spiking-era pensions will keep paying out for decades.

It gets worse: CalPERS returned 𝟲.𝟴% 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 while the S&P 500 returned 𝟭𝟬.𝟰%. If they'd just bought an index fund, the unfunded liability wouldn't exist. Instead they plow 37% of assets into "alternative investments" and rank 𝟯𝟲𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝟱𝟬 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 in 5-year returns. And that $265 billion hole? That's using CalPERS's own rosy assumptions. A private-sector discount rate makes it far worse.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝘅

Every private-sector worker in America funds their own retirement through a 401(k). If the market drops, they eat the loss. Government employees get a 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 regardless of market performance, and when CalPERS comes up short, taxpayers cover the gap.

The answer is simple: move new government employees to defined-contribution plans like 401(k)s. Match their contributions generously. But end the guaranteed-benefit structure that forces cities to choose between pensions and potholes.

The "public employees accepted lower pay for better benefits" argument doesn't survive contact with the data. California state workers already earn 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 than private-sector equivalents in most categories, collect massive health benefits, enjoy job security private workers can only dream of, and then retire on six-figure pensions funded by people who will never see one.

$𝟮𝟲𝟱 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝘁. $𝟱𝟭 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀. 𝟰𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘅-𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯. 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝟰𝟬𝟭(𝗸)𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀?
