California's inability to confirm the outcome of an election for weeks speaks volumes about the low expectations of citizens on the performance of their government in basic functions... https://t.co/kkMRCfYeLG

@RonDeSantis @Soujourner220 💯

[Dan Dow @dandow]

You’re 💯 wrong. There would be a runoff in November’s general election no matter what. Gubernatorial elections ALWAYS have a runoff in the General even if one gets more than 50% in the primary. But alas Hilton would not have 50% even if all the Bianco voters voted for him. Please stop promoting the lie.

@Cunning_Jordan Nothing to see here!

💯 all California voters should vote for Sheriff @ChadBianco for Governor

[Sheriff Chad Bianco @ChadBianco]

It’s clear that Steve Hilton supporters should unite and support me.

While they’re at it, Becerra, Steyer, Porter, Mahan,Thurmond, Villaraigosa supporters should vote for me too.

@Chicago1Ray @SnapmasterNFT @ChadBianco We need Sheriff @ChadBianco

[Dan Dow @dandow]

@IngrahamAngle Sheriff @ChadBianco is the ONLY good choice in this election.

Memorial Day… may we never ever for one moment take for granted what this day is all about.

Since 1775, well over 1 million American service members in the United States military have died in service to the rest of us, FOR all of us, so that we might LIVE in a land that is FREE!

Think about that for a minute: women and men facing danger and uncertainty, were willing to give up everything they had – – EVERYTHING – – their breath and heartbeat – – so that we and our children and our grandchildren might have LIFE in this FREE country. 

In light of that, how should we then live today? How should it change us? What do we do with this knowledge?

Let us LIVE all of our remaining days in a manner that genuinely demonstrates that we are eternally grateful and indebted to them for their sacrifice that made our LIFE in a FREE nation possible. Let us honor their sacrifice by living in a manner that is worthy of receiving the amazing gift that they have given to us.

Let us stop the griping . complaining and the bickering and let us return to embracing the values on which this nation was founded! Those women and men that gave their lives were committed to the idea that our FREEDOM was in truth a gift from GOD above and not given to us by our government. It was worth protecting and defending because it had priceless value bestowed upon it from God himself.

Let us again be One Nation Under God!

Today we stop and REMEMBER those to whom we owe ALL that we enjoy here in the United States of America.

🇺🇸💔🇺🇸💔🇺🇸💔🇺🇸

A prayer for today:

Thank you Father for patriots who gave their lives in service to save OURS! In grateful response, may we live a life worthy of being protected and saved!

And we thank you for Jesus Your precious Holy and Perfect Son who entered the war of death and sin to put ALL of His very life “on the line” - to give it up as The Way to exchange His life to save OUR lives.

We ask You to allow us to see the similarity today on Memorial Day and that we would put our faith completely in You and that today we would commit to living our lives in a manner that gratefully honors and serves You out of deep humble and sincere thanksgiving.

Oh the price these men and women paid for my freedom— but OH the price Jesus has paid for my LIFE and eternal Freedom from sin and death!!! Oh what Amazing Grace that was shed on me.

Amen!

[Dan Dow @dandow]

@TulsiGabbard praying for you and Abraham! May the Lord provide healing, strength, peace and comfort to you both!

The Mayor of Charlotte is demanding people stop posting this reminder of the lovely innocent Iryna Zarutska butchered by a savage on Charlotte public transit. He was on probation by a liberal activist judge.

“We have been required to cut 5 full time employees over the last several years of budget cuts. Today I am requesting five positions: a paralegal — none added since 2014 — a restored Victim Witness Advocate, a restored administrative assistant, a restored felony Deputy DA, and a new Elder Abuse vertical prosecutor. Step 1 cost: $857,839 — less than one-tenth of one percent of this county's budget.” (Excerpt from my comments at May 19th Board of Supervisors meeting. Watch my entire comment at the press release link below.)

Why we need an Elder Abuse Prosecutor:

JUSTIFICATION FOR A DEDICATED ELDER ABUSE DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY

San Luis Obispo County is experiencing a demographic transformation that demands a proportional and urgent response from its criminal and victim justice system. According to the most recently published U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (2024), residents over the age of 65 now number 65,713 — representing 23.3% of the county's total population, believed to be the highest percentage on record. This figure has grown by more than 9,000 individuals in just four years, up from 56,739 in 2020, and has nearly doubled as a share of the population since 2010 when elders comprised only 15.1% of county residents. This rapidly expanding elder population faces acute and growing vulnerability to criminal exploitation, including financial fraud, physical abuse, sexual abuse, mental abuse, neglect, and an alarming increase in cyber scams targeting isolated and cognitively impaired seniors. In 2023 alone, the District Attorney's Office reviewed 284 cases involving elderly victims — a nearly 20% increase from 2015 — while Adult Protective Services received 1,679 reports of elder abuse in 2022, and the Christopher G. Money Victim Witness Center served over 1,100 elder victims annually. Critically, national data indicates that only approximately 1 in 24 cases of elder abuse is ever reported to authorities, meaning the true scope of victimization in San Luis Obispo County is dramatically understated and demands a proactive, specialized prosecutorial response.

Please contact the board of supervisors to ask them to support this critical funding.

Kristin Smart went missing and was murdered on May 25, 1996 – during the Memorial Day weekend.

This year marks 30 years since Kristin was taken from her family, her friends, and the life she was beginning to build. Three decades later, she is still deeply missed, and the search for answers continues.

We remember Kristin Smart today not only for how her life was taken, but for who she was — a young woman with dreams, a future, and a story that still matters.

“Since the jury convicted Paul Flores of Kristin Smart’s murder in 2022, the District Attorney’s Office has continued to work with the Sheriff’s Office to fulfill our shared commitment to both the Smart family and this community: to bring Kristin home. Those responsible for Kristin’s death - as well as those with knowledge of her whereabouts - have yet to provide any answers. Nevertheless, we remain fully committed to using every lawful tool available to locate her remains and to support her family until Kristin is brought home.” – Dan Dow, San Luis Obispo County District Attorney
