You’re taxed out your “Bass”

[CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil @CBSEveningNews]

The Miami Marlins are searching for the dog that went viral after watching another pup enjoy a hot dog during Monday’s game. The team has posted a "wanted" flyer and is promising the overlooked pooch a dream day at the ballpark.

@KFIAM640 Bill Handle - again throwing shade on South African refugees, true refugees. They were literally being hunted and killed by locals on their farms. Maybe you should research before make up the “reverse” racism thing

Reverse- opposite direction,
Racism- the be biased to a certain race (doesn’t say whites to blacks only)

Reverse racism- means not racist !

Before the weekend ends and America moves on to the next headline, we need to pause and look at a story that matters more than almost any other—the collapse of Venezuela, and what it warns us about if the last democratic superpower ever falls the same way.

This didn’t happen overnight. It happened step by step, over one generation.

VENEZUELA: HOW A PROSPEROUS NATION COLLAPSED

1992
Venezuela is the 3rd richest country in the Western Hemisphere, powered by oil and a growing middle class.

1997
Venezuelans become the 2nd largest buyers of Ford F-150s—a sign of widespread prosperity.

1998
Hugo Chávez is elected, promising to “redistribute wealth” and fix inequality.

2001
The country votes again for socialism, framed as compassion and fairness.

2003
The government imposes price controls and currency controls.
Black markets appear. Shortages begin.

2004
Private healthcare is fully socialized.

2006
Inflation rises sharply as massive welfare programs expand without real economic backing.

2007
All higher education becomes “free.”

2008
Key industries—oil services, steel, cement, telecom—are nationalized.
Production drops almost immediately.

2009
Private gun ownership is banned.

2010
The currency is devalued by 50%, crushing savings and accelerating inflation.

2011
Oil production begins a steady decline due to mismanagement and lack of investment.

2012
American politicians, like Bernie Sanders, publicly praise Venezuela’s model.

2013
Chávez dies. Nicolás Maduro takes power and tightens state control.

2014
Opposition leaders are arrested or silenced.

2015
GDP collapses. Hyperinflation begins.

2016
Severe food and medical shortages spread nationwide.

2017
The constitution is suspended. Elections are no longer meaningful.

2018
Inflation exceeds 1,000,000%. Maduro “wins” a widely fraudulent election.

2019
Unarmed civilians are killed by their own government.

2020
More than 8 million people flee the country to escape hunger and repression.

2023
Minor economic improvements fail to relieve mass poverty.

2024
Disputed elections trigger protests and global isolation.

2026
Maduro is removed by force. Venezuela is liberated after decades of ruin.

THE HARD TRUTH

It took one generation of “progressive” leadership to turn one of the richest countries on Earth into a nation defined by hunger, fear, mass graves, and mass migration.

This is the lesson history keeps teaching:

You can vote your way into socialism.
But history shows people only escape it through collapse, violence, or foreign intervention.

And here is the part Americans must understand clearly:

If this happens in the United States, there will be nobody coming to save us.

No outside superpower.
No rescue force.
No second chance.

Freedom is fragile. Prosperity is not guaranteed.
And once lost, they are brutally hard to recover.

Venezuela’s people paid the price.
America cannot afford to learn this lesson the same way.

Tonight I introduced a motion at my Neighborhood Council meeting, objecting to the Los Angeles City Council’s vote regarding noncitizen resident voting.

My motion carried unanimously.

It made these points:

1. The City Attorney’s proposed charter amendment should not go beyond that which the California Courts permitted in Lacy v. San Francisco;

2. The issue of “resident voting” expansion should be put to the voters as other cities have done, not decided by ordinance by the Council (which is unprecedented);

3. The public should be given an opportunity to review and comment on the City Attorney’s proposed language before Council votes again on it; and

4. The City should provide a plan of how this amendment would be implemented and a cost estimate after consultation with the LA County Registrar.

What happens next is the BABC NC Board will send a community impact statement letter to the City, and I look forward to engaging further with those Councilmembers who wish to hold further discussion.

Both the minutes of the meeting tonight and the letter resulting from my motion will be publicly available at a later date.

*Disclosure: The summary above is my personal account of tonight’s meeting that was open to the public. The statements or opinions provided above or otherwise on this account are mine and not made on behalf of the Board or made in my official capacity as a Board member.

@realDonaldTrump

[Mike Netter @nettermike]

California's Attorney General just filed his 72nd lawsuit against the Trump administration, this time targeting the EPA over clean air waivers.

72 lawsuits against Washington.
0 fentanyl bills supported.
0 Prop 36 funding secured.
0 action on Sacramento corruption.

Meanwhile, fights break out on San Francisco streets. Homeless Californians are dying of fentanyl at record rates. Parents are fighting in court just to know what's happening with their own kids at school.

The Attorney General's job is to protect Californians, not to run a political war against the federal government on your dime.

Do you agree?
Think @AGRobBonta wasteful use of tax dollars is a good use of money?
Would you like to see him stand against crime instead of just against Trump?

@Isabellaan57274 @GigglingGanon That doesn’t work on the welfare check on legal resident.

I watched live feed in GAZA for months, all day, while isreal started demolishing their cities trying to destroy HAMAS.

Not once did the town stop, and pray to Mecca, ever outside, not once, it was like they don’t do this in their territories, only ours.

@SarahisCensored @TheView Self defense would have worked had Katmelo been punched a couple times, he instigated , was touched, and stabbed a kid in heart. No knifes at field- no knives in fist fight.

Dont bring up other cases to validate this case-
