Democrats can vote for a woman who hates the flag or a woman who didn’t realize the dead guy was her husband.
A left-wing Sacramento city councilwoman who is running for Congress has repeatedly turned her back on the American flag and refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance. She is seeking to unseat longtime Democratic Rep. Doris Matsui in the June primary election. A few years back reports had said that Matsui said she was running to replace the dead guy. He was her husband.
Say what? Virginia governor tells teachers unions to suck eggs?
In Virginia it’s been a law that a teacher’s union can only come in if invited. Presently out of the 133 school districts in Virginia less then 20 have done so. But the legislature passed a new law.
It would have allowed public school teachers, among other public-sector employees, to form unions and negotiate over their wages and working conditions throughout Virginia.
In layman’s terms the union bosses could just walk in and say we’re union and here’s what you will pay the workers. Well, the governor (and rightfully so) vetoed this crazy law.
What the undocumented worker makes. And the taxes they pay.
Of course, companies benefit on hiring the undocumented. Some pay taxes but many do not. When they do pay taxes, it’s way less than documented orUS CITIZENS.

💼 Why Employers Hire Undocumented Workers
This is the uncomfortable but central truth:
Undocumented labor is cheaper, more compliant, and less protected.
Employers benefit because:
They avoid payroll taxes
They avoid benefits
They avoid labor regulations
Workers are less likely to report violations
This creates a dual labor market:
Employers and progressives claim that the undocumented sometimes pay taxes. Look at the wage difference below.
California saying goodbye to entertainment, manufacturing, and energy jobs.
Granted some have been in a spiral downfall for almost a decade but until now no one’s looked at the approximate numbers. How’s 250-350,000 job loss sound? And that’s the direct number. This doesn’t count the side jobs these industries provide.
These aren’t cyclical losses — they’re structural. They reflect long‑term policy choices that make it harder to film, build, or produce energy in the state. Compared to Ohio.

The SEIU declares war on California’s tax base — and its economy.
by Bruce Bialosky.
Unions sometimes destroy entire industries when they demand more than companies can afford.
In California, the union demanding a “billionaire tax” might just destroy the state itself.
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is one of the country’s most powerful unions, representing government workers. Its California branch is the SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West.
Its president, Dave Regan, is the principal organizer behind the “2026 Billionaire Tax Act,” which said this week that it has collected twice the number of signatures necessary to qualify for a statewide vote.
Though the California secretary of state has yet to review and approve the initiative, it looks like the “billionaire tax” will be on the ballot on Nov. 3.

We don’t know how much the union spent to put the tax on the ballot. That will be released by the secretary of state when it has officially approved the initiative.
What we do know is that the union likely spent a huge amount, both in hard cash and staff time, with expenditures drawing on various union funds.
The SEIU’s motivation is simple: 90% of the money that would be collected by the “billionaire tax” would be designated for health care spending. In other words, it benefits the union and its members directly.
The SEIU is pursuing that money, notwithstanding recent disclosures of significant fraud in California health care programs, including Medi-Cal, the local version of Medicaid.
After the Trump administration started examining fraud in hospices, California Attorney General Rob Bonta jumped into the act and discovered $267 million of Medi-Cal fraud in the hospice program. Bonta stated that over the last decade, such fraud amounted to $1.5 billion.
We can all imagine what the real fraud level is, across all of the state’s public health programs.
In effect, the unions are attacking California’s tax base. An unknown number of billionaires have already relocated out of the state. Some have done it very publicly — among them Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Ellison, and Peter Thiel. The amount of wealth that left with them is in the ballpark of $1 trillion. (That represents $50 billion in lost revenue under the proposed new tax.)

It is the undisclosed departures that may do the real damage. We don’t know about them, and will not know for some time.
Most of those leaving have a residence in other states, including states with no income tax, and have been working overtime with their lawyers and accountants to make sure their official residence is not in California.
To evade California residency, they may have to show that they have a driver’s license from another state; that they get their medical care there; and even that they attend a house of worship there.
(My money is on the tax pros versus the California bureaucrats on that issue.)
We are already seeing the devastating results of the SEIU’s gambit, regardless of whether the billionaire tax actually passes.
In 2024, California collected $129 billion in personal income tax. The top 1% pay 40% of that. The state stands to lose annual revenues of $13 billion if just 25% of those people vacate.
That does not include the revenue from the businesses and employees they are taking with them, which could easily hit $25 billion in the first year.
The SEIU has estimated that a “one-time” 5% tax on wealth will produce $100 billion in revenue. You don’t have to be a financial wizard to realize that will never happen.

That is because every time we are told that a “new source” of revenue will produce a claimed amount, the true amount is never even close to what they project.
The billionaires who do remain in California will also be hiring attorneys and accountants to hide or devalue their assets and assure that they pay as little of the new tax as possible.
You’d better believe they are planning that already. None of them has the cash on hand to pay the prescribed 5% of their net worth. They could be forced to liquidate assets, including their stock of California-based companies.
That will drive down asset values for the billionaires — and also for all of the employees and all the California residents who hold the stocks in their 401(k) accounts.
Economic harm will spread among the residents of the state and boomerang, causing even less tax revenue to be collected.
All this to pay more into government health care programs riddled with fraud, and to punish people for creating jobs and wealth for people throughout California and the country.
The SEIU’s billionaire tax could impoverish California for generations. No billionaire comes close to that kind of destructive greed.

How the courts can fix the fake Virginia ballot issue.
Short and sweet. The ballot wording may be the proof for the courts to overturn the fake ballot issue. It claimed to bringing fairness to Virginia. But changing the house seats from 6-5 to 10-1 is fair to who?
In closing. Virginia law and the state constitution require a 90‑day waiting period between final legislative approval and the public vote.
According to leftist AI.
The 90‑day requirement was not met for Tuesday’s Virginia redistricting amendment vote. Multiple courts and news outlets confirm that early voting began less than 90 days after the General Assembly approved the amendment, which is why the judge ruled the referendum “ineffective” and blocked certification.
According to Leftists an assault weapon is anything that fires bullets.
Seems like the more laws leftists pass, the more shootings we have. Yesterday it was NJ. Today or tomorrow, it will be maybe Virginia. They have a house bill that bans hunting rifles and pistols. I’m sure that BB guns are also on that list.
Lately knives have been the choice of progressives when they go out looking to kill someone. Let’s see if the next law adds knives.
Free Admission for Illinois Residents
To receive free Tuesday admission, Illinois residents must show valid proof of residency, such as: A photo ID An Illinois driver’s license A state ID A city‑issued ID This requirement is stated directly on the Obama Presidential Center’s website.
Obama Center to disenfranchise millions maybe tens of millions.
We are now hearing that the Obama Center will be disenfranchising millions or maybe even tens of millions of people of color. Word has it that you will need an ID for entrance. As you know, White Progressive Supremacists, MSM, and Democrat politicians are saying that minorities (especially blacks) aren’t capable of getting an ID.
Partial from the website. “Illinois residents must be able to provide proof of residency. Be prepared to show proof of residency at the Museum with a valid photo ID, Illinois driver’s license, state ID, or city‑issued ID.”
I don’t know if yesterday’s Nazi student protestors killed anyone, but we do know that today’s youth have committed the most heinous crimes. Only difference is that today’s youth rioters have the support of the MSM and Progressive Democrats.
