California has increased battery capacity by 1,250% since 2019. Meaning that they still need fossil fuel for 20 plus years.

California has increased battery capacity by 1,250% since 2019. Meaning that they still need fossil fuel for 20 plus years.

California has enough fossil fuel to power the whole country for who knows how long. But they continue to put their faith in wind and solar. Where are they today?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday that while the state is continuing to add to its battery storage, it is not enough to avoid blackouts during heat waves, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Newsom said the state had battery storage systems with the capacity of 10,000 megawatts, 20% of the 52,000 megawatts California said is needed to meet climate goals, the Times reported. Newsom said California aims to have 100% clean energy by 2045.

Not making this up. San Francisco gets a $1.7 million dollar toilet for $200,000.

Getting a 1.7 million dollar toilet for only $200,000.

Not making this up. San Francisco gets a $1.7 million dollar toilet for $200,000. Where else but California.

A San Francisco restroom once estimated to cost $1.7 million is now up and running for the public after the city received criticism, jokes and a generous donation.

San Francisco Recreation and Parks opened the single public restroom in the Noe Valley neighborhood after receiving a donation that cut the city’s cost to under $200,000, Daniel Montes, the city agency’s communication manager, told USA TODAY in an email.

What the MSM, Cohen, and Braggs forgot. Stormy Daniels and her frivolous lawsuit.

What the MSM, Cohen, and Braggs forgot. Stormy Daniels and her frivolous lawsuit. Since the government is going back to incidents from 2005 (that have nothing to do with this case), it’s only fair to go back to 2022. The year Daniels was defeated big time in the 9th circuit.

Trump won almost $600,000 in legal fees in the phony defamation suits filed by Daniels. Cohen was the first lawyer defending Trump. The original fee was $300,000. More was added later.

Stormy Daniels has maintained that her case against Donald Trump was not solely about the alleged affair but rather about Trump’s defamation through his social media posts. Again the 9th ruled in Trumps favor.

California here we come. Undocumented giving progressives their wish. Let’s see how the loons handle this sudden turn from Texas to California by the undocumented.

Let’s see if shitholes like San Francisco and Sacramento (especially ghetto section east) welcome them with open arms. or will they cry that their isn’t enough freebies for all. I’m sure San Diego will send them northward.

Texas has seen a decrease, while a good majority of these illegal aliens are crossing in the San Diego sector. The statistics show about 1,500 illegal crossings 2 days in a row in just that sector!

Winning. Calexico resoundingly ousts town’s first transgender mayor and a council ally.

Winning. Calexico resoundingly ousts town’s first transgender mayor and a council ally.

The good folks of Calexico by a 74% margin removed the town scourge.

What makes the landslide numbers against Ureña and Manzanarez more impressive is Republicans only make up 27 percent of the heavily Democrat city’s population.

Nearly 74% of voters in the April 16 special election supported the recall  Raúl Ureña, according to early results released by the Imperial County registrar of voters Wednesday night. Ureña, who uses all pronouns but prefers “she,” publicly came out as transgender after taking office, becoming a target for harassment online and in person.

Nearly 73% of voters supported the recall of Councilmember Gilberto Manzanarez, another outspoken young progressive.

He is facing a recall election in mid-April and he believes gender plays a big role in it. (Dania Maxwell / Los Angeles Times)

In a previous interview with The Times, Hurtado, a member of the City Council from 2010 to 2018, called Ureña and Manzanarez “toxic” left-wing activists. She said they dismissed downtown merchants’ concerns about crime, public drug use and rampant homeless encampments, focusing instead on what recall proponents saw as more frivolous projects, such as installing charging stations for electric vehicles that most people in town cannot afford.

Short and Sweet. Progressives in Action. Oakland, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.

Anytown that's run by Progressives.

Short and Sweet. Progressives in Action. Oakland, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. Below are videos of how Progressives run cities. Common scene nationwide. Today’s examples are Oakland, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. How did they miss Sacramento?

Sadly this is the norm. The joys of Democrat Progressive living.
There’s nothing like it. Democrat Party has a consistent track record of taking over the politics in an American city and turning it into a sh*thole in just a few short years.

I told you so. California Unions demands $20.00 an hour for all folks on the bottom.

I told you so. California Unions demands $20.00 an hour for all folks on the bottom.

They didn’t even wait for the ink to dry. So now the Unions are demanding that everyone gets paid a minimum of $$20.00 an hour. So, a person who gets hired tomorrow gets $20. A person who has been an employee for say 2 years, they get $20.

Across California, labor groups are calling for a $20 minimum wage for all workers. Ahead of the law coming into effect, restaurant owners and other industry insiders warned that the law would be detrimental to small businesses and consumers. Told you so.

So what does the loon say who supports this madness? “Frankly, inflation has already happened, and many prices have already gone up. Grocery store prices have already gone up. And so, it’s not a matter of we can’t raise wages anymore because prices might go up,” she said.

“Prices have already gone up. If we don’t keep wages in step with the rising cost of living, either workers will leave the state or these other horrible things happen.”

And I thought only women smoked menthol cigs. Biden administration US ban on menthol cigarettes delayed.

And I thought only women smoked menthol cigs. Biden administration US ban on menthol cigarettes delayed. Growing up I always thought only women and men who flicked their wrists smoked menthol cigs. Boy was I wrong.

About 81% of Black adults who smoked cigarettes used menthol varieties, opens new tab,  According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I can see Joe’s hesitation.

But some observers say other priorities are behind the delay, namely the lack of support for the idea as the election sharpens into view.

Democratic strategist TJ Rooney argues the president is right to put off the ban until next year.

“People of all race, creeds, and colors know the dangers of smoking,” he said. “My hope is that the big thinkers are equally concerned with explaining the broader picture of what’s at stake in this election. This is a great issue for 2025.”

When you can’t win legally do what California does. Gerrymander.

When you can’t win legally do what California does. Gerrymander. No state does it better. Their legislatur used to do it, but the voters changed the system. They created a phony California Citizens Redistricting Commission.

So this so called Commission redrew the districts. They took six Republican districts that were about 5% more Republican, and added more Democrat voters. Now the Democrats have a chance to flip these districts. Below are the six.

Young Kim, 40th District

Michelle Steel, 45th District

Mike Garcia, 27th District

Ken Calvert, 41st District

John Duarte, 13th District

David Valadao, 22nd District

Hate at UC Davis.

A school with a bad history. Incidents include everything from peer-to-peer and faculty misconduct to overt threats of violence and physical assault.

UC Davis has done it now. StandWithUs Center for Legal Justice (SCLJ) filed a Title VI complaint on Monday with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, which investigates claims of discrimination involving shared ancestry. The group cited such incidents as a professor who advocated murdering Zionists, a student punched in the face after questioning someone tearing down hostage posters and a proliferation of anti-Semitic graffiti.

This was always known about this school, but since the progressives allies attack on Israel October 7, this was finally out for all to see.
