@CAGovernor@spencerpratt FUTA tax and the additional 1.2% “credit reduction” charge California businesses are facing annually due to the Governor NOT repaying the Covid loan monies. It’s not right!! This is its 4th year you’ve been shoving Covid loan payments off on to businesses. Shame on you!! Formula: # of employees earning $7,000 x 1.2% above the already implemented .6% California is now the only state that still does this. What do you have to say Governor? I will not stand complicit!
Explain to me how the entire state of California was called for Kamala immediately after the polls closed in 2024, but it takes multiple days to count votes for just the 2026 LA Mayor race.
@lucyshow11 Why yes, yes I do! 🙋♀️ with a smile on my face and happy TV memory in my heart. I also always serve applesauce with pork chops, and now, so do my kids 🥰 and they know why.
🚨 WOW! Retired professional golfer Gary Player just gave an INCREDIBLE endorsement of President Trump in the Oval Office
"I've been around almost every president for the last 65 YEARS — and I've NEVER seen a president who loves this country as much!"
"I've never seen a president who loves the country as much as you do — and I say thank you, because I've traveled more miles than any human being before without being repetitive and I've never seen a country like this."
"To Mr. Kennedy, who I have absolute utmost respect for...I always talk about the importance of fitness...to eat properly, this is so important, what you put in your body."
"And the big thing that I wish, and I pray every day, and wherever I talk, and I do a lot of talking—I say to the young people, just love this country, because you don't realize what's going on around the world. Even the students of the great universities of America really don't understand what's happening around the world today."
"There is a silent war taking place against America today, and what we've got to do is make these kids realize that freedom and exercise and education start reading some books."
"Listen to what Mr. Kennedy has said: what you put in your body is so important. What a wonderful job he's done and all your cabinet members, of which I say — thank you for maintaining this great word, this cherished word, freedom!"
What an incredible moment. This 10 year-old boy wants to be a priest when he grows up. @MattWalshBlog asks him why, and here was his answer:
“Because God is calling me.”
Perfect answer. God bless this young man.
🙏🙏
I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.
Your Saturday "More You Know" moment where you can impress your neighbor Kyle as he bitches about gas prices.
I bet Kyle didnt know that Americans discovered and developed the resources in the Middle East.
The massive Gulf fields that dominate today? Largely unlocked by U.S. companies in the 1930s.
Kyle probably doesn't know that just like we did in Venezuela, western companies brought the drilling tech and capital that launched those industries.
In 1908 the first big commercial strike in Persia (Iran) at Masjed Soleyman. British-led Anglo-Persian Oil Co (later BP) sparked the race.
So a tip of the hat to the Brits - back when they had grit.
But the real transformation of the Arabian side? That came from Americans.
1932: Bahrain. First oil discovered on the Arab side of the Gulf — by Standard Oil of California (Socal, now Chevron). Bahrain Petroleum Co (BAPCO) strikes it at Jebel Dukhan, where Americans prove the region’s potential.
1933–1938: Saudi Arabia. King Abdulaziz grants concession to Socal. American geologists and drillers risk it all in the desert. On March 3, 1938: Dammam No. 7 gushes commercial oil.
This was the birth of Saudi oil — now the world’s largest reserves. Pure American smarts and perseverance.
1938: Kuwait. Burgan field (one of the biggest ever) discovered by Kuwait Oil Co which was a 50/50 American Gulf Oil and the British. U.S. tech and expertise were key.
Kyle probably doesn't know that Americans were in on the ground floor across the Peninsula. They brought the capital, engineers, rigs, and know-how when others couldn't.
They built Aramco (originally California Arabian Standard Oil), pipelines, refineries.
While Britain got the first strike in Iran, Americans discovered and developed the oil across Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and parts of Kuwait — the heart of Middle East energy.
Oh and Libya. But that is another post.
And that is your short history lesson for the day.
Tell Kyle. He will be impressed.
A winner will be randomly drawn TONIGHT for my Masters Gnome giveaway!

"It brings tears to my eyes."
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says he salutes the American flag every morning when he gets to the office:
"There's also a big flag when you walk in, which I salute every morning. I go in there to remind myself, you know, JPMorgan couldn't do well if this country didn't do well. And people have to be very clear about—we need a strong economy that pays for everything, including the military, and police, and firemen."
