California Democrats are preparing to ban essentially ALL after market tires

This is a real proposal from the California Energy Commission called the Replacement Tire Efficiency Program

“I mean pretty much every aftermarket tire sold in the state is going to be regulated, and no one is talking about it — Tires use energy, some more than others, and California wants to lower the energy use of tires on their vehicles so less CO2 goes into the atmosphere”

It’s for climate change….

I looked into what their plan is

It would require all replacement and aftermarket tires sold in California to meet strict low rolling resistance standards similar to those on new cars (OEM tires)

Tires that don’t meet the targets phased in starting 2028, with stricter rules in 2031 could not be legally sold in the state

OEM tires on new cars are optimized for low rolling resistance (better fuel economy/lower emissions), but this often means shallower tread depth, shorter lifespan, and sometimes reduced grip

Many popular aftermarket tires (especially performance, all-season, or longer-lasting ones) have higher rolling resistance for better handling, durability, or traction. So they will be banned

Here’s what it really means for every day people

Lower rolling resistance leads to more frequent tire replacements, increasing production emissions and costs

It does the exact opposite of what Democrats are saying. It’s a proposal that’s being prepared to be passed

We should have much lower tolerance for the nepo-baby communists

They might seem too incompetent to be dangerous, but they are re-popularizing the most dangerous ideology of all time

100,000,000 people were killed by communists in the 20th century

This is what happens every time communists gain critical power

CORRUPTION: $15 billion. 16 years. No train. Newsom's LA to San Francisco high-speed rail is now a $33 billion Bakersfield to Merced project due nobody knows when. This is what Democrats do with your tax dollars every single time.

The new ‘LAX People Mover’ at the Los Angeles Airport is finally being tested

This elevated train connects to terminals and parking and was supposed to open 3 years ago. It is now $1 billion dollars over budget. Costing $3.4 billion dollars

Here’s a list of things that cost less than this new 2 mile LAX Airport Train:

- The Beijing High Speed Rail $2.3 billion. 75 miles of train for half the cost of our 2 miles
- Paying $100,000 to every homeless person in the city of Los Angeles
- Overthrowing the government of Venezuela
- The Apollo 11 mission to the moon (not adjusted for inflation)
- The third tallest building in the world
- The second tallest building in the world
- Both these buildings COMBINED is still cheaper than the 2 miles of train at the LAX airport

The cost of this 2 miles of train at LAX airport is $4.9 billion (this is the estimated cost to complete and operations)

A journalist exposes a rundown motel in California. Gavin Newsom sent $25.9M to renovate it for the homeless, but no work was done. The money allegedly went to a $45K/month Beverly Hills mansion, a Ferrari, diamonds, watches, and more.

Steve Hilton exposes Democrats created a Cannabis tax and said the money was going to be used on "substance abuse prevention"

It generated $370 MLLION in taxes and Democrats GAVE IT ALL TO A NONPROFIT

The money is being used to fund “leftist activism” AND “VOTER REGISTRATION”

“The money flows through a single unelected nonprofit - The Center at Sierra Health Foundation’s Elevate Youth program”

“The Center has gotten rich off this arrangement, growing from $11.8M in 2018 to $197M in 2024 — The Center runs Prop 64 dollars through to a web of NGOs, including the Jakara Movement, Young Invincibles, and Asian Refugees United for activism, organizing, and voter registration”

“The CEO makes over $600,000 per year”

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. SCOTUS Justice Sam Alito asks ACLU lawyer "what is a man and a woman?" and they DON'T HAVE A DEFINITION.

Alito's response is perfect.

ALITO: What does it mean to be a man or woman?

ACLU: We do not have a definition for the Court.

ALITO: How can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of s*x, without KNOWING what s*x means?!

Omg, you can't make this crap up. Seriously.

Gavin Newsom’s California issued hundreds of thousands of Real IDs to legal immigrants that extend beyond their authorization to remain in the country.

And because they aren’t victims of the Palisades or Eaten wildfires, fees to reissue the IDs are being waived and the process is being expedited.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

In 2015, Bernie Sanders argued that open borders was a right-wing idea and warned that unchecked immigration could negatively impact American workers.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. The fraud is DEFINITELY WORSE in Gavin Newsom's California than Tim Walz's Minnesota

The US attorney is promising more investigations after BILLIONS just went unaccounted for...in one county

"$2.3 billion sent to LA County over 4 years is completely unaccounted for."

"That's $2.3 billion dollars that could have been used to clean up this, or find housing for people who live like this, or to fix this part of Venice Beach, where people own million-dollar homes but are too afraid to walk their dogs because of this."

"There have already been two indictments linked to his probe, but U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli says there are a lot more to come."

US ATTORNEY: "Taxpayers have forked over tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars to fix it, and people are stealing it? It's unbelievable, and you know, it's probably been going on for a very long time, but unfortunately no one's really looked at it until recently!"

"There's really, again, never been any oversight. But now you have the federal government. The election was won by the opposite party."

"And you have an election that has consequences. And now you have prosecutors in the federal government that are independent and are going to take an objective look."

"And I frankly do not care who is involved, what position they serve, or how high up they are. We will aggressively pursue and prosecute anyone that violates federal law regarding the misuse of homelessness funds."

Bad News: The infrastructure is literally crumbling beneath Gavin Newsom’s world’s fourth largest economy.

Worse News: There is a $216 BILLION “funding gap” to repair that crumbling infrastructure.
