Bernie. Bernie, Bernie, Bernie.

Let me get this straight, because I want to make sure I am reading your economics homework correctly, and I did not eat a bowl of alphabet soup this morning so bear with me. You just listed UnitedHealth's $5.48 billion quarterly profit as proof of corporate greed. Cute. Except that profit happened WHILE the Affordable Care Act — the law that guarantees these insurers a captive, subsidized, taxpayer-fed customer base — has been the law of the land for fifteen years. You are not exposing corporate greed, Senator. You are reading me the receipt for your own bill. The ACA did not shrink the insurance industry. It turned it into a government-guaranteed cash cow, and now you are shocked, SHOCKED, that the cow got fat. Eats soup with a fork, this one.

And here is the part that should really sting. Your own party just finished a 43-day shutdown demanding MORE money be poured into that exact system, because the temporary COVID subsidies YOUR PARTY wrote into the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 — zero Republican votes on either bill, by the way — expired right on schedule, exactly as YOU designed them to. Not a single Republican voted to end those subsidies. You did. Then you shut down the government to admit, out loud, on the record, that a law literally named the AFFORDABLE Care Act cannot survive without emergency pandemic cash. That is not an insult from me. That is a confession from you.

So now the solution is Medicare for All. Naturally. Because when a fifteen-year-old government program made the insurance companies richer, the answer is obviously MORE government program, just bigger. If ignorance is bliss you must be the happiest man in the Senate. Independent estimates put full single-payer implementation at somewhere between forty and sixty percent of the ENTIRE federal budget. Forty to sixty percent, Senator. Larger than Social Security. Larger than defense. You want me to hand over half the country's checkbook to the same apparatus that just admitted its last healthcare experiment doesn't work without a subsidy IV drip.

Let's talk about who's asking. You have served in the United States government for something like forty years between the House and Senate, and by my count the bills you personally got across the finish line as lead sponsor could be counted on one hand, mostly involving the naming of federal buildings. Somewhere out there is a tree tirelessly producing oxygen for you, Senator, and it owes itself an apology for the return on investment. This is also the same man who, as a young idealist, tried out communal living on a hippie commune and did not exactly stick around long enough to collect a pension from it. Now you want the reins to fifty percent of the national budget. I keep hearing "tax the rich" out of a man worth several million dollars who charters private jets on his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour because, in his own words, he isn't waiting in line at United with the rest of us peasants. Bless your heart. That is rich even by Congressional standards. Couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel, but sure, hand him the checkbook.

And before you tell me capitalism failed and it's finally socialism's turn — how's that working out for your ideological younger brother in New York? Zohran Mamdani just announced a THIRTY MILLION DOLLAR government grocery store in a city his own comptroller says is worse than broke. Kansas City tried this. Erie, Kansas tried this. That is not a hunch, Senator, that is a lab result, and I am a science teacher, so let me walk you through the peer review.

An experiment only counts as science if it has been REPLICATED. Not run once. Run again. And again. Under different conditions, different continents, different decades, different "well THIS time we'll do it right" true believers standing at the podium. So let's replicate it together, shall we, because apparently nobody handed you the lab notes.

Trial one: the USSR, 1920s and 1930s. Stalin seized the farms, collectivized the kulaks, and centrally planned the harvest. Result: the Holodomor, a man-made famine in Ukraine that starved somewhere between five and ten million people to death while grain was actively being EXPORTED past their starving bodies. That is not a rounding error. That is a control group that died.

Trial two: Cuba, 1959 onward. Castro nationalized every business, every farm, every bank on the island. Sugar production, once the envy of the hemisphere, collapsed. The economy shrank thirty-five percent in a single decade when the Soviet training wheels came off. Extreme poverty today sits near eighty-eight percent. Same experiment. Same result.

Trial three: Venezuela, sitting on some of the largest oil reserves on the PLANET, nationalized its oil industry and ran the socialist playbook to the letter. Production collapsed from three and a half million barrels a day to under one million. Hyperinflation peaked past sixty-three THOUSAND percent. Nine million people fled. You cannot bribe your way out of the results with oil money. We tried. It's in the data.

Trial four, and this one should make every teacher in America wince: China's Great Leap Forward, 1958 to 1962. Mao abolished private farming, herded peasants into communes, melted down their pots and pans for backyard steel that was too low-grade to use for anything. Somewhere between fifteen and forty-five million people starved. Some regions saw cannibalism. That is not a typo. That is what happens when central planners replace the price system with a five-year plan and a slogan.

Trial five: North Korea, present day, running the same command economy with the Juche twist. Famine in the 1990s killed hundreds of thousands to over a million. Markets are technically illegal and thrive anyway in the shadows, because human beings will trade even when their government threatens to shoot them for it.

Trial six is my personal favorite because it is the cleanest natural experiment in the history of economics: East versus West Germany. Same people. Same language. Same culture. Same starting point in 1945. One half got markets, one half got the Stasi and collectivized industry. East German productivity settled at roughly thirty to seventy-five percent of the West's, and the population had to build a WALL to stop its own citizens from swimming, tunneling, and hot-air-ballooning their way out. Nobody builds a wall to keep people from fleeing prosperity, Senator.

Trial seven: Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, 1975 to 1979. They abolished money entirely. No markets. No private property. Total state control, straight out of the textbook you apparently keep on your nightstand. One point seven to three million people, roughly a quarter of the country, died of starvation, overwork, and execution in FOUR YEARS.

And for the extra credit column: Ethiopia's Derg collectivization, Tanzania's Ujamaa villages, Yugoslavia's market-socialism ceiling, Vietnam before it finally abandoned the model, India's decades of License Raj stagnation, and Poland and the rest of the Eastern Bloc running factories that burned three times the steel per unit of output compared to the free market next door. Every single trial, same hypothesis, same result. I have seen middle schoolers design better controlled experiments during a volcano science fair.

That is not one anecdote, Bernie. That is a stack of peer-reviewed, historically documented, independently verified trials spanning four continents and a full century, and the conclusion section reads the same every time: shortages, queues, corruption, and a body count north of a hundred million people once you tally every collectivized farm, every purged kulak, and every commune that ran out of rice. If an experiment fails this many times in this many labs, a real scientist stops blaming the equipment and starts questioning the hypothesis. You, apparently, would rather run trial number eight on 340 million Americans and call it "finally getting it right." Trying to reason with some folks really is like trying to baptize a cat.

Quinn's First Law of Liberalism: liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent. You want cheaper healthcare, you get record insurer profits. You want affordable food, you get a thirty-million-dollar failed grocery store. You want to fight the oligarchy, you fly private. Every single time. Set your watch by it.

I keep asking Democrats this question and I never get an answer: what have YOU actually done to help people, versus just handing out someone else's money? Because handouts without a ladder out is not compassion. It is a leash. And I think deep down you know that, Senator, or you wouldn't need the private jet to get away from the people you claim to be fighting for. You're about as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to actually running anything, but boy can you point fingers.

You are the human version of period cramps on this topic, Bernie, and I mean that with the utmost respect for a man who has spent forty years discovering new ways to spend money he didn't earn. Has a leak in the think tank if he genuinely believes THIS is the moment socialism finally works. Unless your name is Google, Senator, you need to stop acting like you know everything about running an economy you have personally never had to run.

But what do I know. I am only a medically retired Army combat medic and a science teacher who actually reads the Congressional Budget Office numbers before I open my mouth about a trillion-dollar healthcare takeover.

[Peachy Keenan @KeenanPeachy]

You're not gonna believe this, but Gavin Newsom's new "free diapers" program is yet another corrupt NGO money laundering operation.

Kelly Sawyer runs Baby 2 Baby, an LA charity that provides baby gear to poor mothers. If you go to an LA private school, you get solicited to donate to it every year (and I have).

Newsom announced he's giving $20 million to Baby 2 Baby to give new mothers free diapers.

Only, he's not giving it directly to mothers in the form of supermarket vouchers or gift cards -- he can't do that, because then Kelly Sawyer's Hollywood producer husband Jamie Patricof wouldn't be able to funnel this money back into Newsom's presidential campaign.

Jamie Patricof, you see, is one of the top donors and campaign bundlers for the democrats in California. He's the son of venture capitalist Alan Patricof, one of the biggest bundlers for the Clintons. Jamie took over for Alan, who's 94.

Newsom is giving $20 million of our money to his close pals the Patricofs' pet "nonprofit." How much is going to get kicked back to Newsom's campaign? How much do the Patricof's get?

This plan is more full of poop than a newborn's Huggies.

Meet Judge Deadra Jefferson of South Carolina.

She handed a child predator a one-day sentence for possessing nearly 1,900 images and videos of children being sexually abused. He was facing sixty years in prison. He served twenty-four hours.

Judge Jefferson was elected to the bench by the South Carolina Legislature in 1996, under the same lawyer-legislator system that still hand-picks the judges who rule on cases brought by their own colleagues.

This is what is broken in South Carolina's courts.

I’ve gone head-to-head with the South Carolina judicial system, and I’m running for governor to FIX this mess.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

Nick Shirley's video exposing $170,000,000 in California fraud got 7.7 million views

California Democrats just advanced AB 2624 — a bill that would let the filmed organizations demand his videos be taken down

Penalty for non-compliance: up to $10,000 per violation and potential jail time

The bill was written by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta

Coincidentally, her husband is California's Attorney General

He also just announced his own $267,000,000 Medi-Cal fraud bust 4 days before her bill advanced @nickshirleyy

[Nick shirley @nickshirleyy]

@elonmusk "When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals."

To make it even worse the lady who created the bill is the State Attorney Generals WIFE. Mia Bonta is the wife to Rob Bonta.

Corruption at the highest levels.

[Nick shirley @nickshirleyy]

California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown.

The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America.

Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California.

The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who “rule” over us.

[Steve Hilton @SteveHiltonx]

I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of our President, Donald J Trump.

🚨 Voters, end this now:

Scott Wiener's locked at 92% on Kalshi for Pelosi's CA-11 seat.

If he slips into D.C., he'll ram his anti-family crusade nationwide, no more hiding California's poison at home.

AB 1955?

His bill, schools hiding your kid's gender flip, no whisper to you, even as they're spiraling into despair needing real help.

He sneered at parents like us, called us nasty.

Supreme Court crushed it in March, gave back your God-given right to know, but Wiener still clings to secrecy, still says these are our kids, state's, not yours.

That's not protection, that's theft.

Steals the sacred, God given-designed bond: parents raising children with love, authority, under God, no government wedge.

And the fallout?

Kids who've transitioned, suicide spikes, no real exit ramp.

Detransition?

A nightmare with zero support, no love, no passion, just silence.

His laws build one-way streets, no safety nets.

Asians 35%, Chinatown, Sunset, guard elders, kids close.

Latinos 16%, Mission, Excelsior, familia first, unbreakable.

Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, every faith that bows to God, know parents are divinely called to shield, guide.

Wiener shreds that: divides homes, mocks future parents dreaming of strong families.

Exporting this?

SB 934 sues therapists for faith-based care, silences healing.

Some label him pedophile over SB 145, alleged, equal rules, but the true evil?

State over God, over you.

If he cared for constituents, for God-loving families, he'd face every harm, not cheer easy transitions.

We fix our own, don't let him weaponize anti-family bills in Congress.

A man who destroys the divine family?

Ban him from D.C. Asian, Latino, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist parents, future ones, rise up.

Wake up, now.

The Whole World Needs to Hear This Story!! 🫵

[M.A. Rothman @MichaelARothman]

𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐀 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒𝐎𝐌: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐒

Gavin Newsom wants to run for President. Before a single ballot is cast, every American deserves to see what he did to the largest state in the union.

I did a little research and coalesced everything into this post from public resources.

𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐱𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐬:

𝟐𝟏𝟔,𝟎𝟎𝟎 net population loss in 2024–25 alone (U.S. Census Bureau). Over 𝟏.𝟒 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 residents fled since 2020 (CA Dept. of Finance). The largest outbound migration of any state in America. People aren't leaving paradise — they're escaping a dumpster fire with a coastline.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 $𝟐𝟒 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫:

California spent $𝟐𝟒 𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 on homelessness over five years. That's roughly $𝟏𝟑𝟐,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧. The result? Homelessness 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 by 30,000 people — from 151,000 to over 181,000. That's a 𝟓𝟑% 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 since 2013 (HUD).

It gets worse. The California State Auditor found the agency responsible for tracking outcomes — the Interagency Council on Homelessness — 𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏. No consistent method to collect outcome data. Didn't verify accuracy of data from municipalities. The state database was riddled with deleted records and test entries. They burned through $24 billion and 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭.

And in San Jose and San Diego, over 𝟖𝟓% of homeless placements were into temporary housing — not permanent. 𝟒𝟎% of those people ended up back on the street. A $24 billion revolving door.

𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐚��𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝:

$𝟏𝟐𝟔 𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 for a high-speed rail that was originally budgeted at $33B and has moved 𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 (CA HSR Authority). A $𝟕𝟑 𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 budget deficit in 2024–25 (LAO). That's not governance. That's arson with a spreadsheet.

𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐄𝐱𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐬:

Chevron, SpaceX, Tesla, Oracle, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Charles Schwab — all relocated their headquarters to Texas. Over 𝟑𝟓𝟎 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 fled California between 2018 and 2024 (Hoover Institution). These aren't strip malls. These are the engines of the American economy voting with their feet.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐱-𝐚𝐧𝐝-𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐥:

California charges the highest income tax in America — 𝟏𝟑.𝟑% — and gets half its income tax revenue from the top 1% of earners. So what happens when you squeeze the golden goose? It leaves.

In 2022, Newsom saw a one-time post-COVID revenue spike — fueled by federal relief money, not real growth — and declared a 𝐛𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐬 "$𝟗𝟕.𝟓 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐥𝐮𝐬" that never appeared in any actual budget document (CalMatters). He went on a spending spree. Two years later, the state quietly admitted to a $𝟏𝟔𝟓 𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 revenue forecasting error over four years (LAO). Personal income tax collections crashed 𝟐𝟓% in a single year. The "Big Three" revenue sources dropped 𝟐𝟏% (LAO).

And it's getting worse. An estimated $𝟏 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 in billionaire wealth has left the state. Six billionaires alone — including @elonmusk and Larry Ellison — took roughly 𝟑𝟎% of California's aggregate billionaire wealth with them. Every dollar of capital gains they generate for the rest of their lives will now be taxed at 0% in Texas instead of 13.3% in Sacramento.

Sacramento's response? Propose a new wealth tax — which is accelerating the exodus even faster. The LAO projects deficits of $𝟑𝟎 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧/𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 for the remainder of Newsom's term. They are taxing themselves into bankruptcy.

𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠:

Electricity costs 𝟖𝟕% 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 the national average (EIA). Gas at $𝟒.𝟖𝟓/𝐠𝐚𝐥 vs. $3.20 nationally (AAA). Californians pay more for the privilege of watching their state crumble.

𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞 & 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞:

Prop 47 reclassified theft under $950 as a misdemeanor — retail theft surged so badly that Walgreens and Whole Foods shuttered locations in San Francisco. 𝟏𝟖𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎+ homeless residents — the largest unsheltered population in the United States (HUD).

This is Gavin Newsom's California. The population is fleeing. The businesses are gone. The billionaires took a trillion dollars with them. The budget is a crater built on a $165 billion fantasy. They spent $132,000 per homeless person and ended up with 30,000 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 of them. The trains don't exist. The lights barely stay on. And the shoplifters have more legal protection than the store owners.

This isn't a resume. It's a rap sheet.

And this is what Gavin Newsom is running on. This is all he has to offer. He can't point to a single crisis he inherited — he 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 them. Population loss, revenue collapse, a homeless crisis that got worse the more money he threw at it, a business exodus with no end in sight, and a budget held together with accounting gimmicks and borrowed time.

The question every voter should ask: is this the model you want copied to all 50 states? Because that's the only thing he's selling.

𝐇𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐱 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚. 𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚'𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦.

And no, the other 49 states don't want him either.
