The California election is an epic & perhaps final boast. We sit behind this impregnable line, & here we have all power. Exhaust yourself in your fury, go ahead, & when it burns out, behold your impotence. You will do nothing in the end, for what can you do? It is a new age.

@MaxsBackPorch @MJTruthUltra Be the man you want your son to be. Be present in his life, and make sure he can look back later and identify the principles you live by. Having principles means having boundaries with your wife. Establish them, and when they are violated leave or separate.

Cheating in broad daylight. The point of any system is what it produces.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department used helicopters to fly in ballots from vote centers across the region

“They're picking up ballots from 8 cities including Lancaster, Santa Clarita, Palmdale, Lakewood, Santa Monica, Van Nuys, Pomona, and Torrance. Once they arrive, the ballots are securely transferred inside where election workers are receiving and processing millions of ballots”

The reason they do this is because LA is huge, over 4,700 miles big

There are 5.8 million registered voters that has a single Ballot Processing Center in the City of Industry

All ballots from vote centers across the vast county are brought here for counting after polls close. Driving from remote areas like the Antelope Valley, Lancaster, Palmdale takes hours, so helicopters get ballots in faster, reducing delays in reporting and minimizing time ballots sit in transit

What I find interesting is this seems like the perfect opportunity to introduce as many mail in ballots as needed without any questions

This also use one processing center. This means they wouldn’t have to coordinate rigging elections across multiple offices. If could be one easy to control operation at this one facility

We need a federal audit of California elections

If there’s no fraud, great. But I think we all know there’s massive fraud

Your neighbors are not your enemy. Your political opponents are not your enemy. The growing power of the state should concern us all.

@GovTinaKotek OHA’s budget is in the multiple billions. $35M is a pittance. That’s less than we spend handing out needles and pipes to drug addicts.

[Colonel William Ludlow @ColonelLudlow]

1. 83% is still pathetic.

2. Everyone parent knows Oregon schools are just pushing the students through regardless of their proficiency.

[Governor Tina Kotek @GovTinaKotek]

More Oregon students are earning their diplomas. The statewide graduation rate reached 83% in 2024–25, surpassing pre-pandemic levels and reflecting the hard work of students, educators, families, and communities across our state. Let's keep going!

[OregonWolf @WhitewolfOr7]

Oh @DanRayfield @AGDanRayfield Oh, perfect. Only in Oregon does the playbook write itself.
PacificSource finally taps out of Lane County after years of getting squeezed by Salem and what does Tina Kotek's Oregon Health Authority do? Hands 96,000 Medicaid patients straight to Trillium on February 1 like it's a participation trophy. No competition, no choice, just "congratulations, you're now a Trillium customer."
Two months later, TWO MONTHS Trillium's parent company Centene slides $50,000 into Kotek's re election account. That's not a donation, folks, that's a thank you card with a lot of zeroes.
And this is the same Centene that the Democrat AG in 2022 Ellen Rosenblum said "took advantage of Oregon" when they got caught overcharging our Medicaid drug program and had to cough up a $17 million settlement.
So let me get this straight, OregonWolf style, the company that ripped off taxpayers gets rewarded with 96,000 new lives worth about $56 million a year, then writes a check to the governor who gave them the business, and we're all supposed to pretend this is "health equity"?
Which brings me to the question, Where in the world is AG Dan Rayfield?
Dan, buddy, you campaigned on "holding corporations accountable." You inherited the file that says Centene took advantage of Oregon. Now they're back, bigger, fatter, and cutting checks to your boss. Are you investigating? Are you recusing? Are you at least pretending to read the ORESTAR filings?
Or are you just doing the usual Salem two step, press release on Monday, fundraiser on Tuesday, crickets on Wednesday while Trillium cashes the Medicaid checks?
Oregonians got forced into a monopoly, Kotek got $50k, Centene got $56 million in new business, and Dan Rayfield got... quiet. Real quiet.
Follow the money, Lane County. It's not complicated. OregonWolf Out 🇺🇸 🐺

How racist do you have to be to promote treatment facilities for only one race of humans?

Omg.

[Governor Tina Kotek @GovTinaKotek]

Madras is breaking ground on a new Latino residential treatment facility, expanding access to culturally specific care for Oregonians working toward recovery. This investment will help more people access support, healing, and treatment closer to home. https://t.co/87ZNNHCRLj

@MattPolProf Interesting and inconvenient facts the academy won’t teach you:

Copernicus was Catholic.

d’Halloy, another Catholic, theorized evolution prior to Darwin (and was even cited by Darwin in Origin of the Species).

[Mike Solana @micsolana]

when a leftist politician says "we need to make housing more affordable" he doesn't mean for you. he means he's going to take more of your money to house anti-social lunatics and lazy people, and your rent will increase.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Jeff Eager @Jeff_Eager]

Tina Kotek's campaign pocketed $50k from insurance giant that "took advantage of Oregon" by overbilling for Medicaid drugs, leading to $17M settlement in '22.

Yet Kotek's state government gave co. $56M in new biz in Feb '26

And got $50K donation Apr '26

[Congresswoman Maxine Dexter @RepDexterOR]

I need to hear from you. My next town hall is this Saturday at 11 am in the Centennial High School Gym at 3505 SE 182nd Ave in Gresham. I hope to see you there!

[Jeff Eager @Jeff_Eager]

Timeline:

2022: Centene settles OR claim of overcharging for Medicaid drugs, AG says "took advantage of Oregon"

Feb '26: OR Health Auth (answers to Kotek) awards Centene subsidiary Trillium bigger Medicaid footprint, worth ~ $56M

Apr '26: Centene gives $50k to Kotek campaign

[Colonel William Ludlow @ColonelLudlow]

@MargoLogan @Dudley4Oregon Well that would be nice. I hope you’re right. Thanks for caring, I know you have been politically involved in Oregon for many years.

[JoForOregon @JoforOregon]

It's time for @ChristineDrazan to get her hands dirty. The voters need to see exactly what Tina Kotek has done to this state.

What say you, @ORDems, let's see you prove that Oregonians are voting the way you tell us they are. Let's prove that decades of VBM is accurate by going all-in for ID-verified, in-person, same day voting for four presidential elections. Prove to us that your scam-by-mail isn't a scam. Let's go.

@ChristineDrazan “Class sizes” aren’t the problem Christine. If you can’t call out the unions you’re no better than Tina.

@txsalth2o Clinton and Bush had the same trade policy. And Obama. NAFTA passed early in Clinton’s tenure but was really cemented in WTO and World Bank policies in 1999. Bush was handed the keys to a global sweatshop economy while American business were drowned in regulations.
