I would read it!

[Katy Grimes @KATYSaccitizen]

Jerry Brown is the basis of all of my articles on how California ended up being such a s-hole state. It started with him, going back to his first 2 terms, 1975-1983. I have volumes on Brown - enough for a book no one would read. 🤣

For the record, I hate everyone who makes a donation to any political candidate or committee in response to a text message. YOU are the problem. As long as you give, we will all be incessantly plagued by more and more of them. Don't be that person. Don't be hated. Don't give! Thanks.

California State Workers Strike For 21% Raises While Private Employers Budget Just 3.5%

@SEIU1000 wants a 21% raise while private-sector workers face layoffs, smaller raises, and rising prices. The state is already running deficits. Guess who gets the bill?

Oh my! @KarenBassLA is toast. Worst mayor ever opens the door wide open for “DSA darling” @nithyavraman. New survey released by the @californiapost shows Bass is loathed. For good reason of course.

[Joel Pollak @joelpollak]

NEW @californiapost poll: @nithyavraman leads @MayorOfLA @KarenBassLA, 46.7% to 38.8%. Reason: 71.7% disapprove of Bass, 66.2% say city is heading in wrong direction. 41% say Raman is “extreme.” Doesn’t matter. Homelessness #1 issue, and voters blame Bass. https://t.co/SlgPxrLsrp

Memo to the Trump administration: Stop buying companies.

A government $40 trillion in debt should be SELLING assets, not buying ownership stakes in 36 companies.

We thought government control of the means of production was what we were fighting against.

[Taupe Avenger @TaupeAvenger]

California wasted billions of dollars of cap & trade gas tax money on unusable electric transit vehicles. This keeps happening because the state is deeply corrupt, especially when it partners with non-profits as it did in this case.

Please let this go up to SCOTUS. Free our knives!

[SCOTUS Wire @scotus_wire]

NEW: The Fifth Circuit ruled that a federal law restricting the interstate manufacture, transportation, and distribution of switchblade knives violates the Second Amendment, holding that switchblades are constitutionally protected arms.

Karen Bass Walked Into The Lion’s Den. It Didn’t Go Well.

KFI Radio’s John Kobylt confronted Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass over homelessness, the Palisades fire and her record. Her answers were revealing.

Home run!

[Californians for Voter ID, Yes on 39 @ca4voterid]

Prop 39 released a new ad today highlighting what politicians don’t want you to know: California is one of a handful of states that don’t require a photo ID to vote.

Prop 39 is a battle of politicians versus people.

Politicians want you to vote no.
The People are voting yes.

This ad is a parody, but the problem is not.

The politicians want to protect their power and money. We want to give it back to you.

Vote Yes on Prop 39.

Voters Should Reject Prop. 37, California’s $25 Billion Big Government Housing Gamble

Proposition 37 promises easier homeownership for selected buyers, but leaves California’s housing problems largely untouched.

[Supervisor Kathryn Barger @kathrynbarger]

The elected County Executive, who will make a salary of roughly $558,000 and not have term limits, will be one of the most powerful and highly paid politicians in the entire state of California. This presents a clear conflict of interest for every member of our @LACountyBOS, which is why I made a pledge not to run for the position. I'm calling on my colleagues to do the same.

[Jon Fleischman @FlashReport]

I listened to @KarenBassLA on @JohnKobyltRadio. I realized part of the way through that I actually believe exactly nothing that she says. She is the worst mayor in the history of Los Angeles and just seeing her and listening her makes me want to tell everybody that you’re stupid and a fool if you vote for her. Knowing full well that the only other candidate is bonkers town.

[Jon Fleischman @FlashReport]

Yup

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

Bring back the SAT

Remove the virtue signal bureaucrats who removed and keep it banned in the UC system even today

[Russell Lowery @RussellLowery10]

I am an "all of the above" housing guy at this point. But it needs to be said:

No one builds "affordable cars". Used cars are just new cars that got old. Same goes for housing.

We don't have affordable housing today, because we didn't build market rate housing yesterday.

[Dan Walters @DanCALmatters]

The hate must be in your soul because it's not in mine. My mother lived to 107 so expect me to be around for quite a while

[Adam Housley @adamhousley]

Congrats California…my second ballot. Two different counties. Don't worry. I only vote once. This is the second time California has sent me two ballots.
No wonder we can't figure out Covid fraud, EDD, mental health programs, education, a damn high speed train, basic infrastructure, etc.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

[Chris Cillizza @ChrisCillizza]

Whoa boy

[Jon Fleischman @FlashReport]

@RussellLowery10 Count me in.

[Jon Fleischman @FlashReport]

Are you a citizen?

Yes.

Ok. Here’s a ballot.

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

NEW: Los Angeles County elections officials confirm in court filing that they have no way to verify U.S. citizenship for voters and they rely solely on a voter’s attestation when they check yes or no to being a U.S. citizen under penalty of perjury. This is part of ongoing lawsuit w/ Feds.

[Jon Fleischman @FlashReport]

Oh my.

[Josh Koehn @Josh_Koehn]

NEW: California GOP legislator Leticia Castillo has preached family values since entering politics. But her secret old XXX websites advertised adult entertainment services under the name “Silky Santana.”

Meanwhile, her Democratic challenger has her own baggage with two DUIs and a messy custody battle.

They were separated by just 596 votes last election.

Welcome to Riverside County, the Florida of California.

@RussellLowery10 I’m not an anarchist. You wouldn’t have to deal with proving citizenship if we actually took care of removing people in the country illegally from the country. Of course that’s more big government right?
