@CAgovernor Mailing millions of ballots to individuals who either did not request them or no longer live at a given address does not defend democracy. It pollutes it.
@GovPressOffice By investment Newsom is referring to govt deficit spending. Notice he's not saying private investment. The private investment has been chased away by over-regulation over taxation and unaccountable government at all levels.
@CAgovernor Notice Sly Newsom does not differentiate between govt and private sector jobs. Govt jobs are funded by taxpayers and increase the tax burden. Private sector jobs improve economy and do not burden taxpayers. While some govt jobs are needed, their growth is not a badge of honor.
@MayorBillWells Stop whining about our useless CA state government of corruption and get the Feds involved. Child trafficking is a federal crime and Trump will save the kids
@ZavalaA Tire damage cost from poorly maintained roads is much higher than any supposed fuel savings of low rolling resistance tires not to mention less competition among tire manufacturers. Clown show Newsom--Raise the gas tax then pretend to save consumers money with less tire choice
Marco Rubio Just Went OFF On Left-Wing Terrorism
He just called out:
-Transgender shooter that shot up a Catholic school.
-The far left radical that murdered Charlie Kirk
-Multiple deranged assassination attempts on President Trump
“More than 80% of radical violence is now driven by far-left and anarchist actors.
These are not abstract statistics. Americans have seen what those numbers mean.
An all-out assault on our immigration officers, sniper attacks, explosives, armed ambushes, a transgender shooter opening fire on Catholic elementary school students as they pray, his gun marked with slogans like, "Where is your God now?", a healthcare executive executed in cold blood in the streets, multiple assassination attempts on a sitting president, and the murder of the greatest conservative activist of a generation, a man who happened to also be a husband and the father of two young children, shot and killed while speaking to a crowd of students.
This is a distinctive and unique evil. It has always been driven by a hatred, above all else, a hatred for civilization itself.
It is a revolt of the worst against the best, a revolt of the weak and the cowardly against the strong and the good. It is perpetrated by those who cannot build, who cannot create, who cannot achieve great things, and take their revenge upon the world for their own inadequacy by seeking to destroy those who can.
This is what radical leftism is.
It may wear various different slogans and ideologies across place and time. They can call themselves anti-capitalist, or anti-imperialist, or communist, or anarchist, or Marxist, but the fundamental character is always the same. It's always the same.
It is a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of equality and justice, liberation, and an overwhelming need to tear down what greater men have built, to wreck what is beautiful and what is right, on behalf of people who are only filled with ugliness and have nothing else to offer the world.
Through violence and through terror, they once again seek to impose their ugliness on all of us.”
THIS is the speech that Americans needed to hear.
Ann Widdecombe schools a roomful of woke students on the importance of free speech.
"Only two sorts of people oppose free speech... snowflakes and totalitarians."
"Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings."
"It is an occupational hazard of living in society. And if you really can't take it, become a hermit."
"No matter how much we may disagree with somebody, we should defend to the hilt their right to say it."
"You succeed by defeating your opponent, not by wishing him away. You get nowhere by trying not to hear what is being said."
"You may feel virtuous today in what you will not hear, but tomorrow somebody may feel virtuous in not hearing what you have to say."
"Free speech is for all, not for the privileged few."
A college economics professor stated that he had once failed an entire class. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, that everyone is equal...
The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.
All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."
After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.
The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.
As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.
The average of the second test was 6.
When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.
The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they cannot work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore, because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation
The story may be a fable not a fact but the moral is real
Get it?
Occasionally (not too often)...I share a video clip that should really be shared with every human on the planet. Seriously.
This is one of those - the only clip people need to see, on Rockefeller's Climate Change project:
@KevinKileyCA Has the investigation already been done before the latest tax increase to see whether existing gas tax and other transportation tax is actually going towards road infrastructure and maintenance? Or is it being siphoned off to the general fund or to NGOs who only pretend to work?
Here, the brilliant @Miss_Snuffy from London explains Zoran Mamdani Mania better than anyone in America has so far done so…
This is a great, but terrifying speech…
