So why can’t California Progressives manage money?

So why can’t California Progressives manage money?

They get an extra billion, they spend two. Extra five billion they spend ten. Year in year out the revenue rises. And year in year out they spend more. Why? Simple answer is that it’s not their money is the way they look at it. So, what happens when the billionaires all flee? The middle class is already taxed to the max.

Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya says California’s proposed billionaire tax is accelerating an exodus of ultra-wealthy residents, a shift he argues will worsen and not solve the state’s budget deficit.

Palihapitiya, who has been tracking capital flight from the Golden State, said California has so far lost an estimated $1 trillion.

So far 85 Somalians have been charged, 60 convicted or pled guilty.

37 Pled guilty of fraud, there were 13 others who were also charged. So, 98 folks that we know of ripped off the federal government. And how many folks have been charged with state crimes? Remember the Governor and the AG both said investigations have been ongoing. The grand total of state charges is Zero.

America's Heartland Commentary Corruption Economy Faked news Just my own thoughts Lies

Fake News. All 1,600 Kentucky workers fired as Ford’s $19.5B EV battery dream collapses.

Fake News. All 1,600 Kentucky workers fired as Ford’s $19.5B EV battery dream collapses.

Sounds scary for those workers, doesn’t it? The left is having a field day with those headlines. Christmas and what are they going to do? As Paul Harvey would say the rest of the story.

Ford formally dissolved its partnership with South Korean battery manufacturer SK On December 9, 2025. Ford took full control of the Kentucky plants. Yes, those 1,600 jobs are gone. What the article that printed the fake headline left out this. 1,600 jobs gone and when the plant is switched over, they will need 2,100 employees. And the new jobs will pay on average $125,000 yearly.

What Dershowitz fears may be happening. Democrat McCarthyism.

What Dershowitz fears may be happening. Democrat McCarthyism.

Yesterday Dershowitz told The Record with Greta Van Susteren that the Democrats were manipulating the Epstein files. Here’s what’s happening.

“Well, according to at least several Democratic congressmen that were on television, what we expect to see is more and more McCarthyism. That is, they’re going to release the names of the people who are accused. So, John Smith, you’re accused, but we’re not going to tell you who accused you.”

So, if a person claims that I had sex with Bill Clinton or Donald Trump, that person’s name needs to be released also. Some of these women were only 15-16 at the time. They now are grown women. We’re hearing cases of lawyers having women who weren’t even involved coming forward and saying yeah, I was raped. We need all the information printed.

A few is one thing, but thousands of DC crimes misclassified.

A few is one thing, but thousands of DC crimes misclassified.

We’re now seeing why the DC chief of police is retiring. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said Monday that a months-long federal investigation uncovered widespread misclassification of crime reports by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), making crime statistics across Washington, D.C. “artificially lower.”

Pirro said the findings were based on a review of nearly 6,000 reports and interviews with more than 50 witnesses, showing that D.C.’s crime numbers were significantly understated.

“It is evident that a significant number of reports had been misclassified, making crime appear artificially lower than it was,” Pirro said in a statement.

Stop Pussy Footing around. Help or get out of the way.

Stop Pussy Footing around. Help or get out of the way.

Enough already. ICE and the other Homeland Departments need to have a meeting with the large metro cities and lay the groundwork. In those meetings you need the Mayor, Police Chiefs, and Commissioners. Stress to them that they either help or get out of the way. If local law enforcement gets in the way, they will also be arrested after one warning.

Nuff said.

No surprise here. California leads nation in Active shooters during the Newsom, Biden- Harris Cartel

No surprise here. California leads nation in Active shooters during the Newsom, Biden- Harris Cartel.

I’m sure most folks outside of California (and many within) weren’t surprised to see the lawlessness in California. Even MSM couldn’t hide it. Sadly, the local media did. And when it did report on it, never were the politicians blamed. So, the information below should surprise no one.

Figures from the FBI’s Active Shooter Report show that California led the nation in “active shooter incidents” for the five-year period of 2020-2024.According to the FBI, California led the nation for “active shooter incidents” with 25 during the time frame in view.

This goes with previous FBI reports showing California led the nation in “active shooter incidents” in the specific years 2021 and 2023. Breitbart News pointed to these annual reports, noting that California was number one in gun control and number one in “active shooter incidents.”

So, what’s all this noise about Somalians?

So, what’s all this noise about Somalians?

It’s looking as if the Somalian community in the US is causing all kinds of grief. So, I asked my AI to give me a rundown on a few.

Beside Minnesota we’re hearing issues with Somalis in Ohio and Maine. What other states?
Beyond Minnesota, Somali communities have drawn attention in several other states — notably Ohio, Maine, Washington, and Missouri — with issues ranging from integration challenges to fraud investigations and political controversies.

Minnesota (largest Somali population in the U.S.)
Home to over 80,000 Somalis, concentrated in Minneapolis–St. Paul.
Recent controversies include fraud scandals exceeding $1 billion in public benefits programs, with allegations that some funds were diverted abroad.

Ohio
Columbus hosts one of the largest Somali populations outside Minnesota.
Issues often center on integration, employment, and community tensions.
Reports of crime and gang activity have occasionally surfaced.
Maine
Lewiston and Portland have seen a rapid influx of Somali refugees since the early 2000s. Early tensions included housing shortages, welfare debates, and cultural clashes.

What Newsom and California want for the rest of America.

So they destroyed what was good for California and now want that for the rest of the country. Why didn’t they want ICE and the National Guard called out? See below.

DHS officials announced the milestone of 10,000 criminal aliens being arrested in the sanctuary city of Los Angeles. These include many violent criminal aliens, including a woman who had 14 previous convictions. Others arrested include illegal aliens with charges or convictions for murder, drug dealing, sexual offenses, and other criminal offenses.

Again, the left makes an ass of themselves.

Again, the left makes an ass of themselves.

At a hearing a Democrat Congressman tried to trick Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem with a sob story about an illegal alien veteran being deported by President Trump. The Congressman asked if any military veterans were deported. She answered no. He then brought out the information on Sae Joon Park. He is a United States combat veteran who was shot twice. Claimed he was a person with minor criminal offenses who was deported.

Here’s what the Congressman left out. Park decided to leave for South Korea on his own. Oh and that minor criminal record?
Assault,-possessing, manufacturing, or selling a dangerous weapon
-carrying a loaded firearm in a public place
-criminal possession of a controlled substance.
