I am a former senior director for an energy NGO. IMHO, CCAs are mostly just money laundering schemes to enrich consultants and directors. They're founded on several massive lies. 1. A handful of less experienced people can buy electricity more efficiently than the utilities who have literally hundreds of people who work in energy procurement. 2. They can somehow deliver that electricity using the utility's infrastructure at lower cost than the utility. 3. The CCA will be self-sustaining once government seed money runs out. 4. The electricity will be "green" even as the utilities have difficulty filling their own State mandated renewable quotas.
People generally don't understand what they are signing up for. Then, when the government seed money runs out, they are on the hook if/when the CCA goes south (as happened in Riverside and Sacramento). Most of them are complex Ponzi schemes. Further, if you have an existing solar power system, you screw yourself by losing access to grandfathered net metering rates. This happened to an acquaintance of mine who saw their solar credits plummet after signing up for the "Clean Energy Alliance" in North County San Diego.
@StevePuterski (@NCPipeline760) has written about this in detail from a reporting perspective.
Bill Maher admits Trump is a remarkable listener who never interrupts and values every opinion in the room.
MAHER: "Remember, we were going to have a live execution of the Fort Hood shooter? Somebody talked to him. He DOES LISTEN when he’s in that White House. He never interrupts. He never gets mad. He listens."
LEAVIT: "He does. And he surveys the room. Something that I find admirable about him is he’ll look around the room, and he’ll ask the opinions of everyone in it, whether it’s a low-level staffer or his chief of staff."
MAHER: "True."
LEAVITT: “He genuinely wants to know how people feel, what they think. He takes their counsel and advice, and then I think he makes the best decision that he believes is best for the country in that moment.”
🚨🚨 Abdul El-Sayed supporters who tabled outside his event today said I should be KILLED for being a capitalist.
They called for a VIOLENT overthrow of our government, I caught them on hidden camera. This is SHOCKING.
🚨DEAR GOD!!!
A migrant from Ghana HUNTED women on the streets of Oklahoma City.
He attacked one. They let him go.
He attacked another. They let him go AGAIN.
Then he tried to R*PE a third woman in BROAD DAYLIGHT, and FIREFIGHTERS tackled him off of her.
He's been arrested 20+ TIMES...
On August 1st, police say he pushed a woman up against a bus stop window and shoved his hands down her pants.
That same day, another woman says he crept up BEHIND her on the sidewalk, yanked her pants down, and ran when she fought him off.
Se*ual battery. Indecent exposure. Arrested.
...and released.
On August 6th, near Scissortail Park, police say he walked up behind ANOTHER woman and grabbed her body over and over, then started digging in his pants. Arrested again.
...and released, again.
On August 12th on a walking trail, police say he came up BEHIND a woman jogging, pulled her to the ground, and tried to R*PE her right there in the open, in broad daylight.
He almost did it. You know who stopped him? Not a judge. Not a bond. FIREFIGHTERS. They were there, they saw it, they pulled him off her and called police.
If those firefighters had been anywhere else that day... that woman gets r*ped on a public trail in the middle of the afternoon.
Every single time, he attacked from behind. Every single time, he hunted a woman alone...and TWO separate times, our justice system caught him... and let him walk right back out to do it again.
He has 20+ arrests since 2022...
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.
Listen to every word
“I voted. I was standing in that voting booth thinking about high gas prices, expensive groceries, housing costs and the financial pressure on working families. Then my mind went to France, to Dearborn, Michigan and I realized this election is about far more than gas and groceries.
It's about our future, radical Islam, national security, illegal immigration, our borders, education, parental rights, sex and gender policies, and the values our children inherit.
I couldn't see myself voting for a party that hates America, apologizes for our country, is ashamed of our flag, and wants to rewrite our history and abandon our values.
So I voted red, not because Republicans get everything right, always do right by everyday Americans, or are free from corruption, but because I believe we can only fix this country if we still have a country left to fix”
I could not have said it better myself. Voting Blue is literally voting to end America and for the eventual Islamic takeover of America. Voting Democrat means being wiped out by illegals, having our elections permanently rigged, our culture replaced and never having a way out
Everyone needs to vote Red like your life depends on it because it does
HUGE: The en banc Fifth Circuit just held, 11-6, that illegal aliens caught in the interior can be detained without bond for the duration of their removal proceedings.
Judge James Ho in a concurring opinion: "A nation ceases to be a nation if it can't protect its borders."
https://t.co/Lg4txQtcv1 is out with my column on the ten questions not asked by MS NOW of Rep. Ilhan Omar in her recent extended interview. Instead, the interview had the journalistic nutritional content of a Slurpee. https://t.co/qNAqZIyzOK
This is the best thing I’ve seen all day. Well, the best within the last few hours because I just scrolled through my own posts.
But I digress. Comedian Ami Kozak did an excellent impression of Abdul El-Sayed and I had to share it. It’s perfection.
🛑 New Video Appears to Show Ricardo Gonzalez Attacking ICE Agent in Long Beach 🛑
DHS already said Ricardo Gonzalez was arrested for smashing an ICE vehicle's side mirror. Now this video appears to show him going after an ICE agent too.
Assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer is a crime under 18 U.S.C. § 111. Damaging federal property is a separate federal crime. He should be charged for both.
This is insane, @USAttyEssayli. ICE agents can't even do their jobs anymore without locals jumping them in the street. If this isn't prosecuted, the next agent pays for it.
FACT CHECK. On October 17, 2026, ICE conducted a targeted enforcement operation in Long Beach, California to arrest an at-large criminal illegal alien. During the operation, anti-ICE agitators attempted to impede operations, threaten officers, and damage government vehicles despite officers giving lawful commands. Officers followed their training and used the minimum amount of force.
ICE did NOT hit an individual on a bike. An individual was arrested after he smashed the mirror of a government vehicle. Resisting arrest is dangerous and can result in injury.
The rioter was transferred to the custody of local police, and we are investigating potential charges for the damage to a government vehicle.
ICE law enforcement officers are trained to use the minimum amount of force necessary to resolve dangerous situations to prioritize the safety of the public and our officers. Officers are highly trained in de-escalation tactics and regularly receive ongoing use of force training. The latest ICE use of force policy is available here.
We have seen a highly coordinated campaign of violence against our law enforcement. Our brave law enforcement is facing more than a 1,600% increase in assaults, 3,300% increase in vehicular attacks, and an 8,000% increase in death threats against them. This violence must end. Anybody who lays a hand on our officers or tries to obstruct them is committing a felony and a federal crime.
NEW: After local media in LA and multiple Congressional Democrats claimed ICE assaulted a U.S. citizen & broke his arm in Long Beach, CA - CNN has obtained new video of the incident which appears to show him tackling an ICE officer. He has since raised $28,000+ via GoFundMe.
Quebec, Canada has finally had enough of Muslims blocking traffic and praying in front of their historical churches and BANNED public Islamic prayers
- No group prayer on any public road, park, or public space
- Muslim full-face coverings are restricted for staff and students in daycares, public colleges and universities
- Designated prayer rooms in universities and public community colleges are now banned
- Daycare workers at subsidized centers are now prohibited from wearing religious symbols, particularly the hijab
- Public institutions cannot offer exclusively religion-based diets like only halal
Every western nation needs to implement this. It should be mandatory in America
Talarico wants to run the USA like a kindergarten class because we're all just stupid kids. Nothing says dictatorship like autocratically run pre-school.
Sister Mary Elephant would be proud. #Talarico#Paxton
Democrat Nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas James Talarico: “What if we ran our world like we run a kindergarten classroom? Because at the end of the day, aren't we all just really big kindergartners?”

A Planned Parenthood doctor tries to lecture Matt Walsh on child gender identity and insists even babies understand gender.
Then he asked her about Santa Claus, and it was over.
MICHELLE FORCIER: “There’s research and data that show that babies and infants understand differences in gender. Some children figure out their gender really early...”
WALSH: “Have you ever met a 4-year-old who believes in Santa Claus?”
FORCIER: “Mhm.”
WALSH: “So, this is someone who believes that a fat man is traveling through the sky on a flying reindeer at lightning speed coming down his chimney with presents.”
FORCIER: “Yeah.”
WALSH: “Would you say that this is someone who maybe has a tenuous grasp on reality?”
FORCIER: “They have an appropriate 4-year-old handle on the reality that’s very real for them.”
WALSH: “Agreed. Agreed. But Santa Claus is real for them, but Santa Claus is not actually real.”
FORCIER: “Yeah, well, and but Santa Claus does deliver their Christmas presents.”
WALSH: “Well, yeah, but he’s not real, though.”
FORCIER: “To that child, they are.”
WALSH: “When I see a child who, you know, believes in Santa Claus, and then let’s say this is a boy and he says, ‘I’m a girl.’ This is someone who can’t distinguish between fantasy and reality, so how could you take that as a reality?”
FORCIER: “I would say that as a pediatrician and as a parent, I would say how wonderful my 4-year-old and their imagination is.”
Most 4-year-olds can’t even tie their shoes. We don’t let them cross the street alone, pick their bedtime, or choose what’s for dinner. But she thinks they’re mature enough to decide they’re “in the wrong body.”
The most terrifying part about this lady is that she’s also an Assistant Dean of Admissions at Brown University.
She’s not just affirming fantasy as reality in her own practice. She’s helping hand-pick the next generation of doctors — ones who think just like her.
