The voters of LA enjoy these results. Maybe after Karen Bass @MayorOfLA is appointed once again in Nov, we’ll have a big earthquake. Then she’ll have a chance to display her lack of city preparedness on an even bigger scale.
LA, you are on your own.
I think leftists being mad about refurbishing a pool has to be the dumbest political controversy of the last decade. Just hilariously, unthinkably dumb.
Karen was warned by the last LAFD Chief (whom she fired being honest) that LAFD was dangerously underfunded and couldn't keep LA safe. Karen cut their budget by $17M, then my town burned down. Now, they have to bring in resources from TEXAS to manage a single structure fire.
Starmer resigns - he has been a truly disgraceful Prime Minister.
I do not believe him to be a good man or a patriot.
He has deliberately and rapidly accelerated the destruction of our Britain, of our home.
History will not remember him kindly, nor should it.
I sat in Parliament, looking him in the eye, listening to him attempting to justify his decision to block a national inquiry into the mass rape of young British girls.
I will never forgive him. For that, and so much else.
What comes next, I do not know.
Whatever that is, Restore Britain will be ready to offer the British people a democratic route out - a better way, the only way.
But Starmer is gone.
And that is a good thing.
Enjoy it.
It’s remarkable to watch people vote for their own decline.
I’ve seen this phenomenon play out three times now.
I was born and raised in New York City during the Abe Beame, Ed Koch, and David Dinkins years. Those administrations often seemed locked in a competition over who could do the most damage to the city’s economy and public safety. The city was struggling. Then lightning struck: Rudy Giuliani won the mayor’s race and, in just a few years, helped turn New York around. The city felt alive again.
Businesses returned, crime dropped, and there was an energy and optimism that had been missing for years.
I left shortly afterward because of a work-related move, but I watched from afar as New York went from Bloomberg to de Blasio to Adams, and now Mamdani. Sadly, I fear the city is headed in the wrong direction again.
I saw a version of the same story in Maryland. Despite being a deep-blue state, voters elected a Republican governor who improved the state’s trajectory and won reelection comfortably. Rather than build on that success, voters turned back to progressive policies under Wes Moore, and many of the same problems are reemerging. I’ve never understood why people choose policies that create trouble when they’ve already living with the receipts.
Now I live in Florida, where the Scott and DeSantis administrations have transformed the state into an economic oasis. Every day, I hope Florida stays on its current course and avoids the mistakes that sent places like NY City and Maryland backward.
BREAKING: Keir Starmer cries as he resigns as UK Prime Minister. Sad end to a dismal tenure. Never seen such a big election win end in such abject failure so fast. Bottom line: he wanted power but didn’t know how to lead the country.
He was the ultimate man without a plan.
Humza Yousaf has spent the weekend issuing various hysterical statements about me, accusing me of inciting violence for highlighting the mass rape of white British girls by mainly Pakistani Muslim gangs.
Those suppression tactics worked for many decades.
It will not work now.
@WallStreetApes If true, Newsom goal is to control
Citizens so that Democrats will remain in power forever in that state. Thank you for the information, I will not have anymore confusion and will not stay.
Gavin Newsom’s new software tax goes way beyond corporate softwares, California Democrats are going to tax everything
They expect to make over $2 billion per year from this new tax, “They now define pre-written software as everything from Microsoft Office, Gmail accounts, Android operating systems — it has a computer, it has pre-written software. California is now going to tax that. Wow”
I put together a list to give you an idea of how far this goes
• Microsoft Office / 365 subscriptions
• Gmail / Google Workspace
• Slack
• Workday
• QuickBooks / Intuit products
• Adobe Creative Cloud / Acrobat
• Android operating system licenses (in applicable contexts)
• Cloud-based CRM/ERP systems
• Accounting/financial software (SaaS versions)
• Project management tools (e.g., Asana, Monday. com)
• Antivirus/security software (digital downloads/subscriptions)
• Productivity suites (e.g., Zoom, Teams)
• Database software (pre-written)
• Graphic design/photo editing tools (cloud)
• Operating system access/subscriptions (where pre-written)
• Enterprise software platforms
• HR/payroll SaaS tools
• Marketing automation software
• Collaboration/communication apps
• Many mobile/desktop apps sold digitally
So basically everything
