Back on Twitter/X. Left after they censored a sitting president. Still in the dumpster fire known as California.

His campaign t-shirts looked about as crap as that logo.
New Xavier Becerra Governor-elect logo and transition team details dropped today. I’m told this is the first set in a series of announcements of who will be part of the transition:

"Italy's government is stirring controversy with a plan to impose a so-called exit tax on wealthy residents who move abroad, charging 26 percent on unrealized capital gains."

BREAKING: Rep. Jim Jordan wins the vote to become House Republican minority leader in the 120th United States Congress, putting the Ohio congressman in charge of the GOP’s fight to regain control of the chamber. House Republicans selected Jordan following their defeat in the midterm elections, choosing a longtime Trump ally to lead the party as Democrats prepare to take control. The decision comes as Speaker Mike Johnson plans to step aside from leadership.

Organized labor/unions wield substantial political influence, financial power, and lobbying clout in California. Steve Hilton wanted to get rid of the CA DMV, mostly made up of union jobs. Steve Hilton pledged to cancel California's high-speed rail project on his first day in office if elected. The California High-Speed Rail project relies heavily on union labor...an almost forever job with high-paying wages that many unions members could probably work until they retire, then possibly move to a cheaper state.

The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in California dropped to $5.71, down about 15 to 17 cents over the past week and significantly lower than the $6.33 average seen a month ago. This has nothing to do with CA Democrats and their promises of "affordability"...especially when you consider that gas in CA is still around $1.73 higher per gallon than the national average and is still the highest in the nation.

Republican CA Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's pistol ammo background checks were blocked in 2011...Fresno Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Hamilton ruled in Parker v. California that the law's definition of "handgun ammunition" was unconstitutionally vague. The court issued an injunction that permanently blocked that law. Then, full ammo background checks backed by Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom in Prop 63 in CA were ruled unconstitutional by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2025. The last en banc oral arguments for already took place on March 25, 2026, and there is no upcoming en banc hearing scheduled for it. California's ammunition background check requirements remain in full force while the en banc court's decision is pending. So far it's been 7 years, 4 months, and 10 days since July 1, 2019, when the ammo background checks were started. This is why CA politicians will knowingly push or pass gun laws and other laws that have a high probability of being ruled unconstitutional...the court battles can last for years and years.

There seems to have been a language barrier.
🚨 #UPDATE: Police have released the name of the suspect accused of making a bomb threat aboard United Airlines Flight UA2174 late Monday night. 34 year-old 'Ronnie Gomez Alberto' was arrested after allegedly telling flight crew members he had a bomb on board while the plane was traveling from Newark to New Orleans. According to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, the incident happened around 11:20 p.m. The flight attendants, despite a language barrier, convinced him to move to the back of the aircraft. The plane landed safely at Louis Armstrong International Airport and was moved to a separate location. Alberto remained aboard, reportedly wanting to "negotiate", before he was eventually taken into custody. Alberto faces charges of communicating false information of planned arson and terrorizing.

🚨BREAKING: The man arrested for shooting two McDonald’s employees in Ankeny, Iowa, over an order dispute is Hassan Ali Mohamed, a Somali citizen who entered the U.S. from Kenya in 2014 and was naturalized in 2021 under the Biden administration! Police say Mohamed, 25, of Des Moines, fired multiple shots through the drive-thru window at the McDonald’s on SE Delaware Avenue late on November 5 after a dispute over an incorrectly filled order. One employee was shot in the arm and is expected to survive; a second was grazed. Neither victim knew him. He was arrested about an hour later and charged with two counts of attempted murder plus additional felony counts. Mohamed has lived in the United States for more than a decade and holds U.S. citizenship. The case raises immediate questions about the naturalization process that granted him that status and whether denaturalization and deportation proceedings should now follow the criminal case.

I wonder how many of these gas-fired generators will be used in California? The San Jose Data Center Project proposed in the Alviso neighborhood of San Jose plans for 224 natural gas-fired backup engine generators. Alviso falls under a broader regional phase-out enacted by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to phase out natural gas water heaters, space heaters, and furnaces. No word yet on a phase out for data center natural gas-fired backup engine generators. Anthropic reportedly strikes $3.4 billion deal for gas-fired power at data centres share.google/gT3ldVGmJWEeJZ7…

This poll was from October right before the midterms. Voters saying California is heading in the wrong direction, but then voting for more of the same. Of course Democrat Eric Jones had a big sign in my area saying to fight the establishment, when he represents the establishment party in California.

I remember during a 2022 crime spike when Beverly Hills residents crowded the lone gun store trying to buy guns. Then I remember hearing from gun stores about how many were selling their guns back after the riots, etc. Good luck getting a gun now in a CA gun store without a long, convoluted, expensive, stupid process.
Masked intruders broke into a $3.5 million Hollywood Hills home in a brazen raid, raising fresh concerns about security in one of LA’s most exclusive neighborhoods. trib.al/1X6ABrl
