@GavinNewsom isn’t lying.

[Jon Willis @thejonwillis]

Sad but true

[Jon Willis @thejonwillis]

Will @spencerpratt make it to the run off?

[Jon Willis @thejonwillis]

Seems legit

[Jon Willis @thejonwillis]

@californiapost

[Jon Willis @thejonwillis]

Probably real footage. @spencerpratt is the answer

[Jon Willis @thejonwillis]

Bums for Bass seems legit

@MayorOfLA needs to go. If you actually think she will make LA better this time around, you’re an idiot.

[Jon Willis @thejonwillis]

Sadly, this is 100% accurate.

Vote for @spencerpratt

California’s one-party Democratic machine has perfected the art of taxpayer-funded patronage.

Under decades of total Dem control, the state budget balloons past $300 billion while problems like homelessness explode. They’ve poured over $24 billion into homelessness programs since 2018 with audits showing massive failures to track spending, measure outcomes, or deliver results. Street counts keep rising. Where does the money go? Mostly to a web of left-wing nonprofits and NGOs.

These groups get fat government contracts for “services.” Then the revolving door spins: high salaries, overhead, and connected executives. Audits in LA, San Francisco, and statewide reveal poor oversight, untracked funds, inflated metrics, and vulnerability to waste and abuse.
Even more troubling: the “behested payments” loophole. Politicians like Gavin Newsom can personally solicit donations from companies and interests with business before the state-directed straight to favored nonprofits.

Newsom has steered hundreds of millions this way, including over $4 million to nonprofits tied to his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom (funding her salary, her production company, and related work). Donors often include entities lobbying the administration or winning state contracts.
Lawmakers across the Capitol set up their own linked nonprofits that rake in millions from unions, health care giants, telecoms, and others regulated by Sacramento. It’s legal influence peddling dressed up as charity. The money flows from taxpayers → government contracts/grants → NGOs → salaries, perks, advocacy and often back into political networks via donations, endorsements, and get-out-the-vote efforts.

This isn’t solving problems, it’s sustaining an empire of dependency. Persistent failure justifies more funding, more contracts, more power. California taxpayers foot the bill for inefficiency and self-dealing while crime, costs, and exodus continue.

Time for real reforms: strict performance audits with clawbacks, competitive bidding, bans on behested payments to family-linked groups, full transparency, and voter accountability. One-party rule without checks breeds this. Hell, maybe try throwing these corrupt Democrats into prison.

What do you think, California? Enough is enough

@spencerpratt just revealed his plan to build a privately funded rehabilitation campus in nature to tackle LA’s homelessness crisis. For a decade, billions have gone to shelters next to open drug markets with almost no results. Pratt wants to adopt the successful “UHP Model” from Bentonville, Arkansas. Key principles:

Geographic Separation — Move people away from Skid Row and cartel networks.

Physical Repair — Provide targeted nutrition to survive withdrawal.

Trade Acquisition — Teach real skills (brush clearance, sanitation) so they return with jobs.

Real solutions over endless failure. Vote Spencer Pratt for Mayor. 🔥 #SpencerPrattForMayor #EndTheHomelessGrift #SaveLASpencer P

This is BRUTAL for Karen Bass. CNN: “Your goal was to end street homelessness by 2026 in LA. It’s now 2026. We haven’t ended it, and we’re not close. How are you so OFF?” Bass: “When I said that… I didn’t realize the bureaucratic barriers. I’m prepared now.” CNN: “But you promised it would go away by 100%. It’s only gone down about 17.6%. Why would people trust you?” Bass completely melts down. Another massive reason to vote Spencer Pratt for Mayor. She’s cooked. 🔥 #SpencerPrattForMayor #FireBass #SaveLA

President Trump just dropped major details on the White House ballroom: It’s not just a ballroom — it’s a military fortress with a full hospital, research facilities, meeting rooms, a drone port, 360-degree defenses, snipers, and goes six stories underground. Trump: “The ballroom is really a shield protecting all of the things in there.” He called it a lasting gift to future presidents and the country. Next-level security for the People’s House. 🇺🇸 #Trump #WhiteHouse #AmericaFirst

Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WOW! Mark Cuban — who opposed Trump in 2024 — just gave a GLOWING ENDORSEMENT of 47 and TrumpRx

"This is a SPECIAL partnership. 559 [of 600] of the new drugs are OURS!"

"Together, we're gonna make something special."

"Other than you, I've been the biggest proponent of TrumpRx."

Trump is TEAMING UP with Mark Cuban to give low-price Pharma drugs to Americans who need it!

Terminators are here…. I wonder how this will turn out

🚨 CHINA JUST DEPLOYED HUMANOID “T800” ROBOTS WITH SWAT TEAMS 🚨

China is now testing full-sized AI-powered humanoid robots alongside armed police in public streets and tourist districts.

Wouldn’t you be worried if they started sending these AI robots to kick in doors?

🚨WOAH! RESEARCHERS SAY DOZENS OF CRASHED UFOS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED — WITH FOUR DIFFERENT ALIEN SPECIES ON BOARD 🛸👽

TWO ARMS, TWO LEGS… LONG TAILS LIKE A LIZARD! 7 FEET TALL! 👾

SOURCES ARE TOO SCARED TO TALK… SAYING AN INTERVIEW COULD “FORFEIT THEIR LIFE” 😳💀

[Jon Willis @thejonwillis]

I think Spencer Pratt is the first candidate, besides @realdonaldtrump, to have supporters create ads and memes better than the campaign. The AI generated videos are beyond genius and are making a massive dent in Mayor Karen Bass campaign. Unfortunately, this is California, so we know the Democrats will cheat with voter fraud in order to keep Bass in power and keep their money-laundering scams intact. California is a banana republic and it will remain as such until the corrupt politicians start going to prison.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to build, scale, advise, and lead across multiple industries with some amazing teams. Real estate development, technology, marketing, branding, growth strategy, fundraising, partnerships, and C-suite execution.

25+ years in business teaches you a few things. What to do. What not to do. Where companies waste money. Where they miss growth opportunities. Where leadership gets stuck. Who to trust and who NOT etc

I genuinely enjoy helping entrepreneurs, founders, and leadership teams think bigger, move faster, and avoid expensive mistakes.

If you’re building something, scaling something, repositioning a brand, raising capital, or trying to solve a growth problem, I’ve opened up some time to take on a few consulting conversations.

Sometimes the right strategy changes everything.

My wife remembers conversations that never officially happened.
