With the @nyknicks winning the #NBAFinals, Mike Brown becomes the second coach in three calendar years to win a championship after being shown the door by the @SacramentoKings. That has to be a record. Brilliant, @Vivek

The Sacramento Kings fired NBA Champion Head Coach Mike Brown.

Congrats Coach you deserve it!

It’s important people see this, THIS is the real reason California is plagued by fires

CA Resident “This is what your forest really looks like. That's why when there's a fire, there's total devastation”

It’s not Climate Change, its Governor Gavin Newsom and California Democrats

This is a real documented issued

California has 33 million acres of forest and rangeland. Experts estimate 130+ million acres could benefit from fuel reduction. Meaning thinning, brush clearing and controller burns

There has been decades of fire suppression, drought, bark beetles, and dense regrowth created heavy fuel loads. Instead of fixing this and doing some forest management, Democrats have let is get this bad

Democrats even passed legislation making it harder to clear forests

They passed the Endangered Species Act, and litigation by environmental groups have stopped thinning, logging, and burns for decades

Joey McGuire shares his initial reaction upon hearing Steve Sarkisian's comments about #TexasTech last week:

"I said there's no way they're talking about us... because Sark's a pretty tough guy... I would think if he was talking about us, he'd call us out."

"They can come to Lubbock... and we can figure out if their 2's and 3's can win this conference."

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares.

@JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation.

This is a Biden win for flyers! https://t.co/lJFGS3ucv3

A new report titled “California’s Economic Performance Review 2025” paints an absolutely damning picture of our state’s decline during Newsom’s governorship:

-Highest unemployment rate in the nation at 5.5%, with over 1 million unemployed workers

-181,700 private sector jobs lost in 2025 and 432,900 private jobs lost the last three years, with almost all new job growth coming from government

-1.9 unemployed workers per job opening, the worst ratio in the country, with layoffs and separations up by 57% in 2025

-Net business establishments in 2025 down almost 90 percent since before Newsom took office, with almost all new firms being sole proprietorships with no employees

-highest cost of living of any state, with 6 of the 10 most expensive metropolitan areas in the country

-Electricity rates nearly double the rest of the country for homes and almost triple for industry, along with highest in the nation gas prices

-Highest poverty rate in the nation at 16.4%

-1.9 million residents lost to other states the last seven years, including 409,000 workers lost in job-to-job migration over five years

-Budget growth of 68.2% since 2019, with a structural deficit that is now $20–35 billion annually

-Nearly a 50 percent drop in the number of high earners filing tax returns over $10 million the last five years

California spent years building a case that oil companies were robbing drivers at the pump. A state investigation found zero evidence of price gouging. A six-month CBS investigation found what's actually happening.

The state charges a 61-cent excise tax per gallon plus environmental fees. It mandates a unique fuel blend that no other state uses, which means California can't just buy gas from Texas when supply gets tight. The market is isolated by design.

Then two refineries shut down. Valero in the Bay Area and Phillips 66 in Wilmington closed, taking 20% of the state's gasoline production offline. The reason they left: rising costs, tightening regulations, and a profit cap law that punishes good quarters without cushioning bad ones. Chevron's Richmond refinery manager put it plainly: cap the good months but don't support the bad ones, and the business becomes unviable.

So California created conditions that drove refineries out, lost a fifth of its production capacity, then blamed the remaining companies for the price increase that followed.

The numbers today: California average is $5.89/gal. Oklahoma is $3.27. The national average just crossed $4 for the first time since 2022. A USC study projects California could hit $7.35 to $8.43 by year end.

The state is now publicly asking oil companies to please stay. The same companies it spent years accusing of theft.
