It appears President Trump knew California was going to cheat, and he set a trap before the primary and the election riggers walked right into it.
This is gonna be good.
The mayor of Philadelphia is ranting about “the poor children” on X amid resident backlash against new taxes to fund Philadelphia schools.
Soda tax was for the children, cigarette tax was for the children, city wage tax was for the children, Uber tax IS FOR THE CHILDREN. Common theme here.
40% of Philadelphia Public High School grads are illiterate, up from 26% in 2010 (0.6% of Philadelphia Catholic High School graduates are illiterate).
Since the implementation of the Soda tax and cigarette tax, the revenue—which was explicitly stated to be used for public schools—has coincided with 40% of Philadelphia Public High School grads being illiterate, up from 26% in 2010 (0.6% of Philadelphia Catholic High School graduates are illiterate *2010-2025*).
So ironically, the more funding the school system received, the more illiterate the students got. Total grift.

Astronomically small probability of happening.
Impossible.

You have to be 25 to rent a car.
Why are teachers talking to our kids about sexuality at 12?
Why are kids encouraged to mutilate their bodies at 13?
This gender ideology madness needs to end.
In most countries, half the buttons you press in a day might be placebos. The walk button at the crossing, the close-door button in the elevator, the thermostat on the office wall. They click, they light up, and many of them are not actually wired to anything.
Take New York, in the United States. Of the roughly 3,250 buttons at its pedestrian crossings, fewer than 120 actually do anything. The rest click when you press them, they look like working buttons, but they have not been connected to the traffic lights for more than thirty years. The city quietly deactivated them in the late 1980s when the signals moved to a computer system. Nobody told the public, because the public kept pressing them anyway.
The close-door button in most American elevators is in the same condition. It has been doing nothing since 1990. That was the year the Americans with Disabilities Act passed, which required elevator doors to stay open long enough for someone in a wheelchair or on crutches to get in. The button stayed on the panel, but the wiring was cut. Karen Penafiel, who ran the National Elevator Industry trade group, confirmed this plainly to the New York Times a few years ago.
In Hong Kong, the walk button at many pedestrian crossings is real during quiet hours and a placebo during rush hour. A central traffic computer decides which one it is, depending on how busy the road is. The same button, pressed by the same person at the same crossing, might or might not be doing anything, depending on the time of day. Parts of the UK and Australia use the same system.
Office thermostats have their own version of this. A 2003 piece in the Wall Street Journal revealed that landlords in the US had been installing dummy thermostats in commercial buildings for years. A tenant would complain about the temperature, an engineer would walk over, turn a dial that controlled nothing, and the complaints would stop. One HVAC specialist estimated that as many as ninety percent of office thermostats in the country were fake. Other engineers said it was closer to two percent. Either way, it was widespread enough to be a known trick of the trade.
These are only the places where someone has bothered to investigate and report it. Nobody has done a proper audit of the buttons in Lagos, or Nairobi, or Jakarta, or Mexico City, or Karachi. The crossings, elevators, and thermostats in those cities were installed by the same manufacturers, run by the same kinds of building managers, governed by the same kinds of traffic computers. There is no particular reason to assume the buttons there are any more honest than the ones in New York.
A Harvard psychologist named Ellen Langer has a name for what is going on. She calls it the illusion of control. When you press the button, even if nothing happens, your brain registers that you took an action, and the waiting becomes easier. The door closes eventually, the light changes, the office cools down. And every time, your brain credits the button.
When John Bolton was indicted last October, he compared Trump to Stalin and said he was the "latest target in weaponizing the DOJ to charge those he deems his enemies."
Today, he plead guilty.
