Hate Speech being removed in DC. BLM.
Who can forget the race riots of 2020? Well the mayor for some reason spent 4 million dollars to honor the group that caused the riots, property damage and many deaths.
Finally the mayor saw the light and is having that eyesore removed. It will take weeks at a cost of six hundred dollars.
Yes Darling, Musk’s 14 children sleep good at night.
Yesterday Waters and other black and white progressive supremacists stormed HUD offices demanding to know why 50% of the staff was being let go (why so few?).
First they were denied entrance, but then Maxy was allowed to deliver her protest letter. I found this response to her.
HUD spox on Dem CA Rep Waters protesting DOGE cuts at HUR today: The Department appreciates the Congresswoman’s interest in DOGE. While she has questions for the Department about how it is efficiently and effectively using taxpayer dollars, the Department also has questions for her, including:
•Is it true that members of her family profited from her position as an elected official? This was reported by the LA Times.
•Does she agree with Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics that she is one of the “most corrupt” Members of Congress? Does she think she deserved to win the award four times?
•Would she be open to leading by example and allowing DOGE to ensure that she is using taxpayer dollars responsibly to serve Californians? If not, what does she have to hide?
•Did she enjoy the 47-minute video of President Trump’s accomplishments playing in the lobby?
Per Fox News reporter Chad Pergram:
The U.S. Economy Depends More Than Ever on Rich People.
How many of you realize that the top 10% account for almost 50% of all the spending? Yes Virginia, the poor and lower middle class the past four years have sat on the sidelines and cried the blues.
Hey I don’t blame them. This past administration did nothing to help stimulate the economy. If anything they were the ones who sunk the ship.
During the Biden pandemic, Americans across the spectrum saved at record levels. They spent less because they were stuck at home and received extra money from the government’s various stimulus measures. By early 2022, households socked away an extra $2.6 trillion.
Then inflation struck, and prices rose sharply. Most Americans turned to their extra savings to keep up with their rising bills. But the top 10% of earners kept most of what they had saved up.
Bottom line? Spend it like you stole it.
California Coastal Commission must be abolished.
Initiated by voters and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in his first term, the 1976 Coastal Act was a response to unregulated shoreline development. Almost immediately after its passage, beachfront owners and interest groups across the state began pushing to amend or repeal sections of the law.
Grenell told the audience. “Everyone who’s involved knows that the California Coastal Commission is a disaster, and it needs to absolutely be defunded. And from just a way to think about government, we already have local government making these decisions.

A top White House official said on Dec. 4 that Chinese state-sponsored hackers compromised at least eight U.S. telecommunication companies.
Anne Neuberger, deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies, provided an update on the Chinese threat actor group called “Salt Typhoon” during a press briefing on Wednesday. The threat group is believed to have hacked into the communications of senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures, she said.
“We don’t believe any classified communications has been compromised,” Neuberger said.
The Chinese hacking appeared to target a relatively small group of Americans, she added, with only their phone calls and texts compromised. (Which likely means 10’s or 100’s of thousands of people. — TPR)
The telecommunications companies that were breached have responded, but none of them “have fully removed the Chinese actors from these networks,” according to Neuberger.
“So there is a risk of ongoing compromises to communications until U.S. companies address the cybersecurity gaps the Chinese are likely to maintain their access,” Neuberger said.
In October, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) identified the Chinese hacks, saying at the time that an investigation was underway.
In late November, Neuberger and White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan hosted telecommunications executives for a meeting to share intelligence and discuss how the U.S. government and the private sector could work together.
Neuberger said President Joe Biden has been briefed multiple times on the issue. The White House “has made it a priority for the federal government to do everything it can,” she added.
Additionally, Neuberger pointed to efforts to improve cybersecurity in multiple sectors, including rail and energy, after the 2021 ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline.
Also at Wednesday’s press briefing, a senior administration official said Salt Typhoon’s activities started at least a year or two ago. Additionally, the official said a “couple dozen” countries have been impacted by the Chinese hacking.
The FBI and the CSIA issued a joint statement on Nov. 13, revealing that Chinese hackers had compromised the networks of multiple telecom companies and stole customer call records and private communications from “a limited number of individuals who are primarily involved in government or political activity.” (Which, given the trustworthiness of the Feds, likely means 10’s or 100’s of thousands of people. — TPR)
On Tuesday, the FBI, the CISA, the National Security Agency (NSA), and international partners published a guide on best practices for protecting communication infrastructures.
CISA Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity Jeff Greene conceded on Tuesday that he didn’t have a timeline on when Chinese hackers could be purged from U.S. telecom networks.
“It would be impossible for us to predict when we’ll have full eviction,” Greene said at the time.
In September, the Justice Department announced that the FBI had taken down a botnet associated with “Flax Typhoon,” a threat group operating through the Beijing-based Integrity Technology Group. The botnet consisted of more than 200,000 consumer devices—such as network cameras, video recorders, and home and office routers—in the United States and elsewhere.
The feds have known about this for years, so why are we only hearing about their “attempts” to eliminate them now? They even admit they don’t know how long it will take to eradicate the threat!–TPR
California is getting ready to sue again.
Last time California sued the Trump administration a 123 times. Spent 43 million to win about 20 out of 123 cases. Have they learned anything from this?
No. The governor asked for 25 million to start the sue process all over again. The environment, immigration and health care — could once again be the main battle lines in the lawsuits that are expected to be waged between California’s Democratic administration and Trump’s White House.
The key difference between a second Trump administration and the first is that Trump and his team could have a clearer vision of what they want to do with health care programs this time around. That includes the potential for things like imposing work requirements to qualify for Medi-Cal or slashing aid in Obamacare marketplaces, making it less affordable to sign up.
Why we need DOGE. Government Waste. DOGE in case you didn’t know is a new agency that will begin with the Trump administration. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by X owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy,
Some of the things planned by Ramaswamy.
“We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright. We expect mass reductions in force in areas of the federal government that are bloated,” he said.
“We expect massive cuts of all federal contractors and others who are overbilling the federal government. So, yes, we expect all of the above,” he added.
