Get over it Virginia, California is seeing the light.
So we saw that ten counties that voted for Biden in 2020 would have nothing to do with toxic spill Harris. Trump turned those ten to the pretties shade of red.
Those counties include Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Inyo, Fresno, Merced, Butte, Nevada, San Joaquin, and Stanislaus counties.
California here I come. Trump to visit SouthernCalifornia.
President Donald Trump is coming to California this weekend, and plans to speak near Coachella. The question is why, given that no Republican presidential candidate has won the state in more than three decades, nor will he.
The answer is that there are several close congressional races in California that could determine control of the House of Representatives. Plus, there is lots of fundraising cash in California, even among the remaining Republicans.
The Cook Political Report rates ten California seats as competitive. If financed, the Republicans have a good chance of taking all ten. Why?
The most closely-contested areas will be Orange County; the Inland areas of Southern California; and the Central Valley. Each of these areas has large numbers of Latino voters, whom the Democrats once considered a reliable voting bloc, but who have been trending towards Republicans in recent years.
California passes law to make it illegal to make fun of Democrats. Judge says no way. So Newsom was all upset about a video that was really funny. Made Harris look like a dunce.
A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of a recently passed California law aimed at curbing the spread of AI-generated deepfakes depicting political candidates. In his decision, Judge John Mendez wrote,
“While a well-founded fear of a digitally manipulated media landscape may be justified, this fear does not give legislators unbridled license to bulldoze over the longstanding tradition of critique, parody, and satire protected by the First Amendment.”
Killer drones. California Police have them, why not the Border Patrol? In California the police have drones that are armed. Why not equip the Border patrol with this technology?
Recently there was a law passed that tried to take this crime fighting tool away from law enforcement. Newsom had another rare good deed. He vetoed the bill.
California law enforcement won’t be prohibited from using killer drones anytime soon, after Gov. Gavin Newsom this weekend vetoed AB 2681.
The bill, by Assemblywoman Akilah Weber, D-San Diego, would have made it an infraction offense to manufacture, modify, sell, transfer or operate a robotic device equipped with a weapon.
Yes Virginia, California has 24 new gun laws to keep you safe. NOT.
So, my friends in California can sleep safe now. They have 24 more-gun laws to protect them. Who cares if the other 50-100 laws are already on the books. Strength in numbers, I guess.
California is already No. 1 for gun control among states in the Union, according to Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety, yet Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed 24 new gun controls on Tuesday.
Two out of the last three years, despite all the extant gun control, FBI figures showing California led the nation in “active shooter incidents” in 2021 and 2023.
California and their wasting of water.
In case you missed it, President Trump was in California at a fundraiser held for him by a relative of the Governor. One of the things he pointed out was the misuse of water.
Heavy storms have flooded parts of California, but the state has been unable to capture billions of gallons of water that are flowing unchecked into the ocean. Not me saying this, but MSM.
Since the beginning of January, a series of atmospheric rivers has disgorged trillions of gallons of much-needed moisture across drought-stricken California, but only a small fraction of that water has so far made it into storage. In the delta — the heart of the state’s vast water system — nearly 95% of incoming water has flowed into the Pacific Ocean, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
How do you make your state totally dependent on oil from countries like Venezuela?
The governor of California just figured out a way to eliminate all the oil refineries in California. This man comes up with some of the most craziest ideas known to mankind. This from KTLA5.
On Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new proposal that would require oil refineries to keep a minimum supply of fuel reserves in hopes of avoiding future supply shortages and price hikes for consumers.
The governor’s plan would direct the California Energy Commission to require petroleum refiners to follow the new guidelines. The governor hopes the proposal will help keep supply and prices stable even when refineries undergo maintenance.
Penalties would be imposed on refiners who fail to follow the new guidelines. So what happens to prices when you no longer have an oil industry?
Sorry Virginia, No help for high utility rates in California till next year.
In Southern California your electric bill is based on not only how much you use, but when you use it.
SoCal utility company Southern California Edison (SCE) charges its customers more for energy use during ‘peak hours’ with its “Time of Use” pricing system.
Customers pay higher rates if they use electricity during different times of day. This incentivizes people NOT to use energy during the hottest times of the day.
Energy is energy but the utility company is punishing their customers and charging more money for air conditioning during peak heat waves!
KTLA reported:
If your electric bill this month was sky high, it wasn’t just scorching summer heat that was to blame, and you’re NOT alone. Many Southern California Edison customers are feeling the heat living with the TOU pricing system: That’s ‘Time of Use.’
Put into effect in 2020 and 2021, TOU pricing is exactly what it says: You pay different rates for your electricity depending on the time of day you are using it. As SCE puts it, it costs more to produce and deliver electricity during different times of day, so this is supposed to provide “an incentive for customers to shift electricity use away from more expensive peak hours.”
SCE admits rates will generally be higher during summer weekday afternoons. If you run the AC, work at home, do laundry during those hours, you are paying MORE than if you wait and do those things during later or off-peak hours.
One SCE customer, Carla Chang wrote to KTLA: “Hello! Please look into whyyyyyy Edison is charging so much for electricity. People are receiving $600-$1000 bills.”
Sarah Clifford sent us her bill which was $1128 this month alone, and Sara says that’s the “discounted rate.” Sarah says she keeps her thermostat at 78 degrees whenever possible.
Melissa Avalos says, “There has been a rise in our electricity bills that is beyond this earth. We went from paying $86 dollars a month to $400 dollars a month and don’t even run our air at night. Something needs to be done as we are seniors and barely making enough to cover this increase.”
What changes in 2025?
(via KTLA):
So what happens when all the major corporations leave? Chevron to Move Headquarters from California to Texas.
The governor likes to tell folks about how business friendly California is. Chevron, America’s second-largest oil company, has announced it will move its headquarters from California to Texas as the leftist state continues to throttle businesses.
You have a corporation who has a 150 year history in California saying bye bye. Now 2,000 high paying jobs are going to Texas. “Since the 1980s, dozens of refineries have closed due to an increasingly harsh regulatory environment, which has resulted in increased gasoline price volatility and reduced production. A margin penalty will only exacerbate this troubling trend.” Andy Walz, president of Americas products at Chevron said.
California stories that are being ignored.
Stories that need to be covered by the MSM.
