No peers. Except FL, TX, TN, ID, AZ, UT, NV, CO, WA, NC, SC, all had more growth. Florida had 2X the GDP growth of CA.
Half the 40% “growth” Gavin is claiming is just inflation LMAO what a clown.
He still owes us for his state park nuking our town, BTW.
It WAS more affordable. Tickets didn’t expire so you could hoard them forever. Hotels got as low as $60 a night. The meal plan was a crazy deal. It was great and I mourn it

How much fraud is elsewhere?
See, I have no problem with Ro having wealth.
He was previously a corporate attorney and his wife is a successful professional as well. Good for them!
It’s the hypocrisy and his eagerness to appropriate others’ wealth that is so galling.
Ro Khanna shows how the ultra high net worth plan their estates to avoid taxes on their massive wealth. He will be a billionaire within 10 years. No taxers for him though. All of his wealth is sheltered in family trusts and his kids.
Speaking of hoarding wealth, Khanna’s two young children are the proud owners of THREE private golf courses in Ohio, where member initiation fees run upwards of $45k
Khanna’s children — still in elementary school — earned up to $2 million from their golf courses in 2024.
Now that the Supreme Court has given its blessing to birth tourism, it's probably worth revisiting this story from 2019.
A Chinese national named Dongyuan Li ran a company called You Win USA Vacation Services that helped pregnant Chinese women travel to the U.S. to give birth so their children would get citizenship. She advertised having served more than 500 customers, charged each between $40,000 and $80,000, used 20 apartments in Irvine to house the mothers, and took in $3 million in wire transfers from China in two years.
Customers were coached to lie on their visa applications and at the U.S. consulate interview in China, claiming they'd stay only two weeks when they actually planned to stay up to three months to give birth. They were told to come early in pregnancy and were coached on how to conceal their pregnancies from customs.
You Win's marketing pitch was that giving birth in the U.S. meant "13 years of free education," "less pollution," "an easier way for the whole family to immigrate to the United States," and "priority for jobs in U.S. government, public companies, and large corporations."
What could possibly go wrong by constitutionalizing the incentive driving these schemes?
As a Native American I’m a little offended that the 14th Amendment didn’t grant us citizenship until Congress passed an exception for us. Meanwhile, a CCP spy can fly to Guam, drop a baby and fly home with the baby who qualifies to run for president 35 years later.
Birth tourism schemes exploit our immigration laws and often violate our criminal laws. The Department of Justice will prioritize the prosecutions of birth tourism schemes across the country. Actors seeking to exploit loopholes to obtain automatic citizenship for their children pose a national security threat and will be brought to justice.
A few months ago, the New York Times wrote a story about a pregnant Honduran woman who was deported from the country and then traveled 1,700 miles to commit felony re-entry so her child could be born in America.
The Supreme Court just ruled that her baby is as much of a citizen as you and I.
OMG Amazon actually hit it out of the park with Sheep Detectives. A combo of Knives Out and Babe (one of my favorites still) that is touching and wonderfully done. Highly recommend.
New Republic writer Michael Crowley wrote a critical review of Crichton's "State of Fear"
Crichton's next book had a character named "Mick Crowley" who was described as a dickhead, a weasel, and "that political reporter who likes little boys"
In case you’re wondering, the “BC” (the one that thinks 3 decades on SCOTUS is too long for Clarence Thomas) stands for the Brennan Center, named after liberal icon William Brennan, who spent — checks notes — 34 years on SCOTUS.
“If we end slavery, then Americans will pay even higher prices for groceries, healthcare, housing, and childcare.”

Imagine coming from a wealthy family, attending a private school that now costs $70,000 a year, enjoying a family compound in Uganda worth millions, and celebrating your multi-day wedding there with private security.
Then imagine living in a rent-controlled apartment in New York City while being a certified rich boy.
That’s Zohran Mamdani.
A fat socialist: unwilling to sacrifice any of his own family’s wealth, but perfectly happy to spend everyone else’s. Disgusting.
