How funny is this? Union thug said he wanted to rake all the forests in Southern California, but he couldn’t buy a rake.

A Union thug obviously didn’t check with the US Forest Service or the Department of Interior.who said no such thing was true.

A U.S. Forest Service spokesperson said that no wild-land firefighting or other public safety positions were cut in staff reductions.

A Department of Interior spokesperson emphasized that the vegetation reduction work had not necessarily been cut but is “undergoing review” to determine whether “funding decisions to be consistent with the President’s Executive Orders” as well as “all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders.”

The man’s not wrapped too tightly. California DA.

Back in 2015 you had two Journalists who recorded Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Federation (NAF), and biomedical research companies regarding the alleged trafficking of aborted baby body parts.

In 2017 Kamala charged them. Accusing them of violating a state recording law. After almost nine years, a settlement was reached. Below is that agreement.

Daleiden and Merritt in exchange for a “no contest” plea on a single video recording charge. The “no contest” plea will be entered into judgment as a misdemeanor in six to 12 months and then converted into a “not guilty” plea before being dismissed and expunged, according to CMP.

The so-called AG’s comment on the case.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the plea deal on Tuesday as a “felony conviction” and pitched it as a pro-abortion victory.

That we know of. An estimated 1.8 million undocumented Californians shitting their pants.

Counting all 10 million.

That we know of. An estimated 1.8 million undocumented Californians shitting their pants.

I read in the Sacramento Bee where the undocumented are crying that they might get caught and sent back home. We know the numbers higher, but even if we do get rid of 1.8 million in California it’s a good start.

Last week’s U.S. Border Patrol operation in Kern County offered a preview of what could come. The enforcement activity, which immigration advocates said was the largest in the Central Valley in years, sent panic across California. The arrests signaled that not even California and its progressive policies would be safe from Trump’s vow of mass deportations.

One of the undocumented was crying because she claimed that the undocumented were being treated as criminals. Excuse me, but you are criminals by being here illegally.

Finally California’s getting rid of the undocumented criminals.

Doing God's work.

Finally California’s getting rid of the undocumented criminals.

We are finally seeing the Border Patrol doing what they were hired to do. 80 migrant arrests. The arrests included several sex offenders, some with existing criminal warrants and others involved in drug trafficking.

On Friday, Customs and Border Protection provided a statement that read, Border Patrol Agents with the El Centro Sector Border Patrol conducted an operation in and around the Bakersfield area in Kern County. Our operation focused on interdicting those who have broken U.S. federal law, trafficking of dangerous substances, non-citizen criminals, and disrupting the transportation routes used by Transnational Criminal Organizations. The U.S. Border Patrol is no stranger to operations in places like Bakersfield, Stockton, Modesto, Fresno, and Sacramento, as the now-closed Livermore Border Patrol Sector regularly conducted enforcement operations over this area up to the mid-2000s.

California is starting to lock up White and Black Progressives again.

California Progressives were shocked to learn that they were going to jail for the crimes they commit on a regular basis. Recently three of them found out what happens when you leave the hood and show up in descent neighborhoods.

Police in California released a video of a trio of alleged shoplifters who were shocked to find out that the penalty for their crime had recently changed. California Gov. Gavin Newsom remained adamantly opposed to the effort to undo portions of Proposition 47, saying it “takes us back to the 1980s, mass incarceration.”

So why so Surprised? California businesses are now shouldering the state’s federal unemployment debt with higher payroll taxes.

You voted for this.

So why so Surprised? California businesses are now shouldering the state’s federal unemployment debt with higher payroll taxes.

Business owners are acting like they’re shocked that the taxes went up. Why? This is California, why not? You get the government that you voted for, so live with it. From our friends at KCRA3.

The state failed to repay on time its $20 billion loan from the federal government that helped with California’s unemployment costs during the pandemic. The state forced businesses to close during COVID-19, leaving many jobless and in need of unemployment pay. State officials have said California ended up paying more than $200 billion in benefits. More than $32 billion of was the subject of fraud, according to nationally recognized fraud experts. Officials for California’s Employment Development Department have disputed this, stating the amount of fraud was $20 billion with $6 billion of it recovered.

Now will the business owners wake up and work to get a government for the people? Or will they leave the state or shut up and pay the taxes they voted for?

Hey the state is trillions in debt so the politicians just pass along that debt to you. But not to worry. The undocumented will have a very Merry Christmas.

Good news is that California fast food workers got a big raise. Bad news is that 6,000 workers didn’t because they were let go.

Full time jobs shrinking.

Good news is that California fast food workers got a big raise. Bad news is that 6,000 workers didn’t because they were let go.

Newsom claimed that there have been several positive impacts from the policy, including job growth and improved working conditions, in a September op-ed published by Fox News. The facts?

Since the law’s passage in September 2023, the state’s privately-owned fast food restaurants have lost 6,166 jobs through June. But Newsom claims that it’s been better since the passage. Better for who? not the laid off worker, or the customers who now pay more.

“The OpEd in Fox News today by the governor is disappointing because it paints a very misleading picture about what’s going on on the ground,” Rebekah Paxton, director of research and state coalitions at the EPI, told The Center Square in a September interview. “Instead of touting these numbers that most economists would say don’t accurately measure the situation, it would behoove Governor Newsom to talk to the workers and talk to the operators who are losing their jobs and losing their livelihoods as a result of this policy.”

Counting all 10 million.

Of course it should take California 30 days to count ballots. 10 million undocumented.

When you add in all of the undocumented, California has over 50 million people. At least 10 million of the undocumented are of voting age.

Being that California allows ballots to come in seven days after election day, of course folks will wonder if there’s fraud. Also when you send up to 5 ballots to the same house and you have a thousand people who use the same apartment number, you tell me that doesn’t make you wonder?

The Federal government needs to take over the elections in California.

California is getting ready to sue again.

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.

Judge rules California cannot stop Huntington Beach from having Voter ID.

Huntington Beach can ask for ID to vote.

Judge rules California cannot stop Huntington Beach from having Voter ID. Last March the good citizens of Huntington Beach passed a law that made showing a ID to vote mandatory.

This outraged the Progressives, Undocumented, Gang members, and leftist politicians. Newsom, in a thinly veiled act of retaliation, signed a state law aimed at preempting local voter ID measures. The affirmative action DA stepped in to represent the lowest of low. He filed a lawsuit.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Nico Dourbetas delivered a decisive win for election integrity, rejecting California’s lawsuit against Huntington Beach and upholding the city’s voter ID law. “The City’s Charter is permissive … and thus currently presents no conflict with state elections law,” Dourbetas wrote in his ruling.
