I’m a regular non-centimillionaire Californian. What we get for our current sky high taxes in California is criminal. Terrible roads, poor schools, bad cell service, outrageous housing costs, epic fraud, incompetent fire risk management, etc. Why should anyone believe that adding more taxes benefits anyone but the ruling class and their benefactors? You need to make that case.

@RoKhanna @TomSteyer Imagine if California adopted Texas law, regulation, and tax structures. The economic and population boom in California would be the greatest in history.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 I had some - the tactile feel of writing is way better. Putting it together with a nice porcelain chalkboard is awesome.

@krassenstein I don't understand the opposition to DOGE, why don't you want efficiency and sensible spending?

@acnewsitics What was it before? Germany is pretty loyal to their own brands they of course provide a huge chunk of the economy there.

This is the first time I've felt like breaking down. But that means letting them win.

Look... I don't know who you are. Unless you're Bill Kristol, I don't know why you hate me so. I gave up a lucrative career to do this. It was never for money.

Why am I doing this? I know numbers. I see that my children have no future unless we tame spending. And as we are finding out, taming spending, also means taming the corruption in the government.

The numbers don't lie. Look at them, logically. Look at how much of our economy is sustained on deficit government spending. Look at the exponential rise in interest rate payments. We are not far from where we have to borrow to pay off the interest. And from there, it's only disaster.

I survived 20% layoffs. Most of the private sector has. Layoffs are healthy. There is no way, shape, or manner that what DOGE is doing comes anywhere near to "cruelty."

You are trying to kill my husband when all I want to do was give my children a future.

Why?

Just why?

Please repent and come to Jesus. Literally.

Extraordinary piece in THE HILL. The truth is finally coming out about the Ukraine war.

The author explains why Trump is right about Ukraine; the war was completely unnecessary; Biden and Zelensky played significant roles in provoking and escalating it; and Western media has continuously lied about it.

The author writes:

“I rarely agree with President Trump, but his latest controversial statements about Ukraine are mostly true. They only seem preposterous because western audiences have been fed a steady diet of disinformation about Ukraine for more than a decade. It is time to set the record straight on three key points that illuminate why Ukrainians and former President Joe Biden — not merely Russian President Vladimir Putin — bear significant responsibility for the outbreak and perpetuation of war in Ukraine.

“First, as recently documented by overwhelming forensic evidence, and affirmed even by a Kyiv court, it was Ukrainian right-wing militants who started the violence in 2014 that provoked Russia’s initial invasion of the country’s southeast including Crimea. …

“Second, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky contributed to a wider war by violating peace deals with Russia [known as Minsk 1 and 2] and seeking NATO military aid and membership. …

“Third, Joe Biden too contributed crucially to the escalation and perpetuation of fighting. … Biden raised false hopes in Ukraine, needlessly perpetuating a war that has killed or wounded hundreds of thousands in the last two years alone during which the frontlines have shifted by less than 1 percent of Ukraine’s territory. …

“Even more tragic, whatever peace deal emerges after the war will be worse for Ukraine than the Minsk accords that Zelensky foolishly abandoned due to his political ambitions and naïve expectation of bottomless U.S. support.”

@dpakman I think you overestimate the impact - most people are normal and don’t have EDS. Maybe 10% tops. The San Diego Tesla store was as crowded as ever, and lucid empty like usual.

The Department of Justice is investigating the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion program that was part of Joe Biden’s $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act. Created in the spring of 2023, and managed by the Environmental Protection Agency, the fund was supposed to be a “first-of-its-kind” program to address the climate crisis while revitalizing communities that it considered “historically left behind.”

But it appears little of the $27 billion revitalized anything—except the coffers of a range of environmental nonprofits associated with former Obama and Biden administration officials.

“The Biden administration used so-called ‘climate equity’ to justify handouts of billions of dollars to their far-left friends,” @leemzeldin, the Trump administration’s new EPA administrator, told @TheFP. “It is my utmost priority to get a handle on every dollar that went out the door in this scheme and once again restore oversight and accountability over these funds. This rush job operation is riddled with conflicts of interest and corruption.”

A Free Press investigation reveals that of the $27 billion, $20 billion was rushed out the door to eight nonprofit groups after Biden lost the election—but before President Donald Trump took office. As one former EPA official put it on a secretly recorded video, it was akin to “tossing gold bars off the Titanic.”

The eight groups were allocated sums ranging from $400 million to $6.9 billion. Several of them were formed in August of 2023, just one month after the grant applications went live in July of 2023, when it became clear that large nine- and 10-figure grants would be up for grabs. The boards and staff of these eight groups include Democratic donors, people with connections to the Obama and Biden administrations, and prominent Democrats like Stacey Abrams.

“These are some of the biggest grants to individual organizations in American history."

@danielsgoldman @elonmusk The fact that democrats continue to oppose rooting out waste and corruption tells you exactly who is wasting and stealing.

[Marc Mackey @marc_mackey_7]

@CleBrownsMuse I think all of us browns fans are unwilling to negotiate and demand to be traded where we can root for a winning team.
