Vice President JD Vance put up a chicken coup outside the VP’s residence. A spokesperson tells me he will tend to the chickens. His kids already named the chicks. The coop was made by Carolina Coops, an American-owned small business which has been in business for 18 years.

On election night in Los Angeles County, I pulled every statewide race directly from the California Secretary of State’s official results page. Same ballots. Same voters. Same night.
The governor’s race the most important, most advertised race on the entire ballot received roughly 100,000 fewer total votes than the controller and secretary of state races. On the same physical ballot.
The exact numbers from the official SOS website:
•Governor total votes: 796,467
•Controller total votes: 901,756
•Secretary of State total votes: 889,586
That means 105,289 more people voted for state controller than voted for governor. And 93,119 more people voted for secretary of state than voted for governor.
Do you know what the state controller does? Most people don’t. It is one of the most obscure offices on the ballot. Yet it got more votes than the race that determines who runs the largest state in America for the next four years.
All Republican governor candidates combined on election night: 222,712 votes
Republican controller candidate (Herb Morgan): 302,552 votes
Republican secretary of state candidate (Don Wagner): 291,650 votes
That means roughly 70,000 to 80,000 people voted Republican in the controller and secretary of state races but did not cast a Republican vote for governor on the same ballot.
These are not different ballots. These are not different voters. This is one piece of paper. Governor is at the TOP. Controller and secretary of state are further DOWN.
People don’t undervote on the top ballot. They undervote on the bottom ballot.
How does this make any sense?
What am I missing people who are smarter than me?
@niquealex It’s sad that his family apparently doesn’t realize the way you’re using them and their son to gain fame and money. You are definitely doing them more harm than good.
@fauxwardthinker@ThrillaRilla369 I get your point, but the same could be said about anyone with a mental illness. We should be treating body dysphoria as such and quit making it cool and participating in their delusions.
@ThrillaRilla369 Zero, but there was one girl in sixth grade who constantly pretended to be a horse. She seemed to have outgrown it by high school, though.
