Built into the 2026 Billionaire Tax Act is the right of the state legislature to amend its provisions to lower the $1 billion threshold, replace “one-time” with an annual assessment, and eliminate exemptions for real estate and retirement accounts.

Former New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio was interviewed on News Nation last night and asked to comment on Spencer Pratt's campaign. DeBlasio smugly described Pratt's ads as "inappropriate" and wondered "who is behind them." BS. Policy failures in Los Angeles have been so intellectualized and contextualized that it took crude descriptions of reality on the streets to wake voters up from their brainwashed acquiescence.

Here's what's at stake with low GOP turnout in November: Eight competitive seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. An initiative to protect Prop. 13, and a retaliatory initiative to gut it. And a "one-time" wealth tax with fine print going much further. Go ahead. Stay home.

[Edward Ring @edring]

@RoxanneHoge There will be other reasons for low turnout, of course. California's GOP includes a high percent of voters who won't vote because they (1) think the whole system is rigged so why bother, and (2) will only support a candidate who is PERFECT. How do you fix that?

[Edward Ring @edring]

There is a good chance Steyer and Becerra will both beat Hilton. If so, Chad Bianco's decision to stay in the race despite his impossible odds will be the reason why. This will inevitably lower GOP turnout in November, in-turn ceding critical close races.

@matt_cavanaugh_ I see a lot of this sort of criticism of Hilton. "Fraud." "Hypocrite." What is your evidence for this? No candidate is perfect, including Bianco. Both men ran. Both campaigns made mistakes. Neither would back out. Fine. But if Hilton advances, why not vote for him?

[Edward Ring @edring]

And yes here's another one. Spencer Pratt's campaign, regardless of the outcome, has exposed the grifting reality of machine politicians and their cronies in California's major cities.

[American Debunk @AmericanDebunk]

This is called “entering the illusion” and amplifying it into absurdity.

It’s not counter attacking Bass and the ideology which she represents. It’s accepting the ideology and amplifying it.

Total killshot.

[Edward Ring @edring]

This expose is hype-free and well documented. It explains how leftist public sector unions are destroying what was the greatest state in America. The level of government corruption, incompetence, and greed is astonishing.

Another fantastic campaign ad from Spencer Pratt.

[Billboard Chris 🌎 @BillboardChris]

When Spencer Pratt becomes mayor I want to hire @dsonoiki for a campaign to help take down gender ideology.

These ads are 🔥.

@SSchall6000 We don't go there often enough to know the staff. But they are all nice and welcoming. It will be terrible if these community institutions are driven under by the machine in Sacramento. No on the "Billionaire Tax." It has hidden provisions that will gut Prop. 13.

[Edward Ring @edring]

Tom Steyer exemplifies the most dangerous and cynical alliance in American politics - oligarchs and democratic socialists. The pragmatic basis of their unity is centralization of power and money.

@SSchall6000 Well I didn't name it but you guessed correctly. It's still there Steve, and it hasn't changed a bit. As long as we can protect Prop. 13, they have a chance to still be around for another century.

An environmentalist coalition has released a "Water Renaissance" vision for California. Take out the rationing and add in seawater desalination, and it's pretty good!

Another incredible viral ad, this one making the case for voter ID.

[Edward Ring @edring]

Is it permissible to wonder why every environmental issue in the world has become secondary to "climate"? Or to wonder how much damage that branding literally anything under the supposedly morally unassailable and beyond debate urgency of "climate" has done to environmentalism?

My appearance last week on AgNet News Hour with Nick Papagni and Josh McGill, broken into four parts:

Part 1 (May 20, 2026): Focuses on California’s water crisis, Delta management, dredging, desalination, storage, and farming challenges.
https://t.co/g1dAF9ebAB

Part 2 (May 21, 2026): Continues on water solutions, SGMA, Delta pumping, storage, and broader policy/farming issues.
https://t.co/ShAnsRQlhD

Part 3 (May 22, 2026): Shifts to energy policy, oil/gas production, gas prices, refinery issues, and impacts on agriculture.
https://t.co/rvYQvh9Tbv

Part 4 (May 26, 2026 – Memorial Day): Wraps up the series covering California’s energy crisis, government overreach, water infrastructure failures, the governor’s race, and broader implications for agriculture and the state’s future.

The capacity of an energy project is always much more than its actual production. The storage capacity of a reservoir is more than its yield in an average year. From floating offshore wind to the Sites Reservoir and Delta Tunnel, here are the numbers:

[Edward Ring @edring]

When will Politico hire a journalist who can do basic math and ask numerate questions instead of just beating the "climate" drum? This is not journalism. It is propaganda.

Does the mayor of Long Beach actually think floating offshore wind is going to generate revenue to offset the shutdown of oil fields in his city?

Never mind that offshore wind will wholesale for $.40/kWh, or that the only way to mitigate VOCs and methane leaks is to deplete the underground reserves.
