One of my buddy’s sons skipped college and became an electrician at 18.
He was told either college or military were his only two options.
His parents weren’t exactly excited when he went to trade school. Actually they were a little embarrassed.
Most of their friends’ kids were going off to universities. Their son was showing up to job sites at 6am.
By 21 he was making $90k
By 24 he had his master electrician license making over $120k
At 27 he started taking his own jobs on the side for a total of $200k
Last year at 29 his little “electrician business” did $1.8M with 4 vans.
Funny how that works.
His parents used to explain why he didn’t go to college.
Now they tell everyone he owns an electrical company.
We need more 18-year-olds to know this path exists.
Day 229 tagging @mikeroweworks until more parents start bragging about trade school too.
Consider to RT if you agree.
In other words “Why can’t a 24 yr old solve all the government’s spending problems?”
You people in DC are a large part of the problem. All you do is complain and whine on 𝕏 while your job is to actually work for us.
I’ve exposed and saved America billions. What have you done?
The 14th Amendment was never meant to be a loophole.
I introduced a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. Here's why it matters:
🇺🇸 Legal immigration built this country
🚨 Open borders have been exploited for too long
✅ Only children of citizens and legal residents should receive automatic citizenship
🚨 Announcing our plan for workers and small business:
- No Tax on Tips California. Newsom and the Democrats REFUSE to implement for state taxes; I WILL!
- Abolish $800 Small Business Tax. Why should you pay this tax just for EXISTING?
- First $100k Tax Free. 9.3% tax rate is outrageous and will be ABOLISHED. No state income tax on earnings below $100k.
Proud to announce our plan for workers and small business w/ my Lt Gov running mate @GloriaJRomero at Casa Brunch, Downey.
@emzanotti My daughter had one of these abridged versions of Pride and Prejudice. Never read the book, just wrote a sixth grade book report based on watching the BBC miniseries.
SAVE ACT: Leader Thune explained that Senators don’t have time to debate and vote on the SAVE Act. For example, today would have been a problem since Sen Thom Tillis had to participate in a dog parade featuring the dogs of Congress.
@PennyPretty2024@WhiteHouse@deancain@POTUS Most states accept the federal tax code. California does not. Consequently, California taxable income will be greater than federal taxable income. Consult your tax professional. God bless you.
The reason JK Rowling opposes transgender accommodations is that they are in direct conflict with her primary political issue, which is protecting women from domestic and sexual violence.
Men with previous criminal convictions for sex crimes were being admitted to domestic violence shelters.
Male violent criminals and sex offenders have been identifying as women to be sent to women’s prisons, where they have been raping female inmates.
Men are pretending to be pregnant and then joining grief support groups for bereaved mothers.
These are necessary services and support for women in distress and men are invading them in order to engage in sexual fetishes.
The Harry Potter novels are about heroes who stand for speaking ugly truths when petty bureaucrats and malign actors try to force people to acquiesce to easy, polite lies.
Men aren’t women. Men cannot become women. And it is not good or just or reasonable to compromise important sex-segregated spaces that provide vital services to women in the interest of being polite to men who want to pretend they are women.
I realize no one remembers the 90s but these two rented out the Lincoln bedroom to anyone for money and when they moved out they stole half of wasn’t nailed down. The people’s house, give me a break.
I am tired of hearing that California is redistricting to combat President Trump and Texas redistricting efforts. Texas was forced to redistrict because the Biden DOJ sued Galveston County and lost which changed the law thus making four Texas Congressional Districts unconstitutional.
When Texas drew its congressional districts in 2021, they created four congressional districts where they combined two minority communities to create a minority-majority district (Coalition minority districts).
On March 24, 2022, the Biden DOJ sued Galveston County Commissioners because Galveston did not draw a coalition minority district for the Black and Latino population.
On October 13, 2023, a Federal Judge agreed with Biden's DOJ and found that Galveston County was required to draw a Commissioner seat by combining two minority communities.
On November 10, 2023, a three Judge panel of the 5th Circuit found that combining two minority groups to create a minority-majority district was unconstitutional and thus asked for an en banc panel to review the issue to overturn prior precedents.
On Aug. 1, 2024, the en banc panel of the Fifth Circuit concluded "that coalition claims do not comport with Section 2’s statutory language or with Supreme Court cases interpreting Section 2." The Fifth Circuit ruled coalition minority districts are unconstitutional.
On July 7, 2025, President Trump's DOJ sent a letter to Texas highlighting the 5th Circuit Order, pointing out that there are four coalition minority congressional districts that are now unconstitutional and that Texas needed to fix the problem.
Texas made a prudent choice to redraw the congressional districts so as to save their taxpayers the expense of litigating the losing case of defending minority coalition districts.
Texas did not have to redraw four minority coalitions districts because of President Trump. Texas had to redraw the lines because Biden sued Galveston County and the law was clarified that coalition minority districts were unconstitutional.
It is important to understand that the 2021 lines drawn by the California Independent Redistricting Commission have never been challenged in Court as unconstitutional because districts were drawn to create coalition minority districts.
Since Texas law requires that the Texas legislature draw the congressional districts, the Texas legislature followed the law.
However, the California Constitution prohibits the California legislature from drawing congressional districts and instead places that responsibility on the Independent Redistricting Commission.
To put Proposition 50 on the ballot for the voters of California to decide, the California legislature had to violate the California Constitution multiple times.
The California legislature is asking the voters of California to forgiven them for violating the California Constitution when they should have asked the voters for permission to draw the maps.
I was a part of two lawsuits filed before the California Supreme Court asking the Court to stop Proposition 50 before it went to the voters because the California legislature violated the California Constitution.
Unfortunately, the California Supreme Court refused to require the California legislature to defend their unconstitutional acts and simply dismissed the Writ without even deciding the merits of the matter.
While I am preparing the next lawsuit that will be filed, it is important that the voters of California stand up against the unconstitutional actions of Gavin Newsom and the California legislature by voting No on November 4th to Proposition 50.
The next time someone tells you that Newsom had to Gavinmander the State of California, remind them that the reason Texas had to redraw Congressional Districts is because Biden sued and lost which resulted in Texas having to redraw its lines.
