Tomorrow, the sun rises on the Bandon Solstice.
140 participants. 72 holes. Four courses. One very long day of golf.
Follow along tomorrow for all things Bandon Solstice!
Californians pay the highest gas taxes yet drive over the deepest potholes. We spend the most to combat homelessness yet have the most homeless. We spend the most to alleviate poverty yet have the most poverty.
This is the very definition of failed governance.
💥NEW: CNN’s Fareed Zakaria *DELIVERS BRUTAL TAKEDOWN* of California’s “FAILING MODEL OF GOVERNANCE”💥
“The frustration is real and JUSTIFIED… it is a case study in how a rich society can spend more and more — while producing less and less of what its ordinary citizens need.”
Chamath on LA elections: "I’m for mathematical and statistical literacy. And what happened here is mathematically and statistically impossible… I can tell you the statistical odds that this would have happened — and it’s one in a trillion!"
💥NEW: @DavidSacks on LA Mayor Election: “The media — instead of trying to demand answers and demand accountability — is trying to COVER UP and say, ‘Nothing wrong happened here.’ It’s unbelievable! It’s OUTRAGEOUS!”
Every dollar Elon Musk has made is traceable. Every product sold, every service rendered, every government contract awarded, every share of stock bought or sold. It’s all on the record.
You, on the other hand, haven’t built a company, invented a product, or created anything people willingly pay for. You’ve spent the last 14 years collecting a $174,000 Senate salary.
Yet somehow you managed to buy a luxury D.C. condo, a $4 million Victorian mansion in Cambridge, and saw your net worth balloon by 150% to $12 million. Everyone knows where Musk’s money came from. The same can’t be said for yours.

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.
I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.
Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.
We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!
Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.
My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.
People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.
Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.
We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."
Just realized the Europeans will be present to watch Joey Chestnut inhale 84 pork pistols on live television in honor of our nation’s independence.
That one will break them completely.
You’re going to hear a lot of liberals in the media tell you that mail in ballots favor democrats so this is totally normal…but is it totally normal for mail in ballots that come in after Election Day to overwhelmingly favor the third place candidate that didn’t perform nearly this well until after the Republican beat her? You are witnessing a hoax in real time. Trust your gut. Ignore the left wing narrative.
It really seems strange to me that in the latest ballot dump, the third-place finisher would far and away get the most votes.
Statistically improbable if not impossible.
Assuming a lot of mail-in ballots would go to the Democrats; then Karen Bass, as the first-place winner, should have gotten most of the votes. She's running ten points ahead now of Raman.
And yet by some miracle of magic math Raman got significantly more votes than Karen Bass!
Also coincidentally Raman is the one that needs the most votes to catch up to Pratt.
So yeah basically this whole thing is bullsh*t.
Let me get this straight
> 84% of Americans support requiring a photo id to vote
> every major democracy in the world does this except the US
> even under our very eyes, the mail-in ballots in California are highly suspiciously slanted toward only one party
And yet majority can’t push this through?!
This is a traitorous level of incompetence
Pass the SAVE Act!!
Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.
0/24,000
A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.
Astronomically small probability of happening.
Impossible.
California no longer even hides it.
Doors need to be kicked in.
BUSTED on camera: Karen Bass and Nithya Raman spend millions of your tax dollars on these NGOs to hand out fentanyl needles, crack pipes, and DRUGS to addicts on your streets, to keep them high and homeless so they can profit off everyone's misery. VOTE NOW!!!
Bill Maher: “Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot. And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.”
If you are coming to America for the World Cup next month, please remember to stop by Los Angeles before June 2nd and cast a vote for Spencer Pratt!
And don't worry - the current leadership in California has made it possible for anyone to vote without showing ID.
