How many of you think that what goes on in California stays in California?  NOPE!  Boy are we naive if we think that what goes on in California does not affects every state in the Union. It seems as though Californians have taken the “We are stupid” pill and will now pay the price at the pump and pay more for all the goods at the grocery store.  Every necessity is about to escalate into the ‘I can’t afford it’  category.

How did that happen? Well, Newsom is a socialist governor who seems to feel that the cost of the regulations he puts in place don’t have any consequences on Californians and certainly don’t affect him. The regulations in AB-5 are about to strangle the 70,000 truckers who just learned they can no longer be independent truckers. AB-5 is forcing them to become W-2 employees of their carriers or be fined. No small businesses for them.

The carrier companies they work for said “No, we cannot afford to W2 these independent truckers who own their own rigs. We’ll leave California.” The truckers said “No, we’ll leave California!” And a huge portion of the 70,000 independent truckers have left California or are in the process of leaving.  The carriers, aka Freight Handlers, who are national corporations said “We’ll leave too. We will move to another state.”  Landstar, a national company, issued one statement, “LEAVE.”

So what did Newsom do?  He hired illegals to replace the American truckers. What does that mean?  It means Americans are at risk from truckers who can’t read English and cause accidents. It means goods sitting at the docks can’t be distributed throughout America. That affects all of us. It also means that Californians lost government funding from the DOT for breaking federal law and hiring illegals.

To add insult to injury, the heavy duty regulations placed on the refineries are causing refineries to leave California. California is about to lose 20% of its power … of its fuel. This is causing gas prices to rise unchecked in California, Arizona and Nevada. Newsom is blaming high profitability on refineries as the cause for escalating prices.  His Public Service Commission told him it was due to his regulations.  But Newsom is stubborn and does not pay attention and basically doesn’t care. After all he’s rich and can afford high gas prices.

Newsom’s solution, Pay the refineries subsidies to stay in CA. YES those same companies he put out of business will now be subsidized to stay. In addition CA will no be getting oil from ASIA at a much higher price. Newsom is either evil, doesn’t care or has zero common sense.

The question is whether California will be smart enough to choose a different route as they choose their new governor or will they sit back and let the insane regulations of environmentalists destroy everything they worked hard to achieve. Do they care where their taxes are going? That remains to be seen. But, what will that do to the rest of us as the goods pile up on the docks and the prices go higher and higher and higher. CA is filled with waste fraud and abuse.  Is this what you want America to look like? If we thought Minnesota was bad just look at what this incompetent, selfish governor did to the once great state of CALIFORNIA. Then ask yourself, “Is this who I want as a president?”

Let’s look around the world and around your state. Has Trump made a difference?

Love him or hate him, one thing is certain, there will never be another President like Trump. Until Trump, our leaders did not respect America or Americans.  We were the meat the parasites could eat and drain us until there was nothing left.  Americans were the givers and they were the takers. Then along came Trump and things changed. They changed so fast most of us can hardly follow.  In this week alone the world changed because President Trump is not afraid to say, “America First”.

The Venezuela incident brought us one step closer to telling the communists the game is over. Hopefully, Maduro will start naming names of the American legislators who looked the other way and got paid handsomely. President Trump told the Venezuelans and the world communists: “You can no longer play in the Western American Hemisphere. We don’t want your criminals or your drugs killing our people.  We want the oil back that you stole from American companies when you nationalized the oil. We built your infrastructure. America made you rich. We will do it again. We will arrest the international criminal dictator (NOT the President) destroying your country. We hope that you will have a fair election and until that time we will monitor what those in power do. The people will get justice.”

Do you think Maduro’s capture will cause other dictators to flee?

Iran’s supreme leader reportedly has devised a back-up plan to flee to Moscow as the uprising against the government intensifies and spreads across the country.

According to an intelligence report, Iran’s supreme leader is preparing for the possible collapse of the Islamic regime. He plans to flee the country for Russia with a group of relatives and aides in the event that the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps either fails to crush the ongoing uprising or deserts, Last report, 2 cities were taken by the protestors.

Since that was not enough, Trump turned his sights to America. He told the Defense contractors to stop being such pigs and start investing in their companies to make more products faster. From Truth Social : “All United State Defense Contractors and the Defense Industry as a whole, BEWARE: While we make the best Military Equipment in the World (No other Country is even close!), Defense Contractors are currently issuing massive Dividends to their Shareholders and massive Stock Buybacks at the expense and detriment of investing in Plants and Equipment. This situation will no longer be allowed or tolerated!”

President Trump was not done. He said he will ban large investors from buying single family homes. “People live in homes, not corporations,” he said.

Does that affect you? Look at your county Comprehensive plan. See if they are banning Urban Sprawl – a term made up by the socialists to blame property ownership on white people.  Ask your county leaders to define Urban Sprawl. Most will not be able to answer.

Definition:  Urban Sprawl, the rapid expansion of the geographic extent of cities and towns, often characterized by low-density residential housing, single-use zoning, and increased reliance on the private automobile for transportation. Urban sprawl is caused in part by the need to accommodate a rising urban population; however, in many metropolitan areas it results from a desire for increased living space and other residential amenities. Why else would you want to buy a house? own a car? That is the American Dream

DOES your county want to eliminate single family housing in order to shove you into high density easier to control communities. Mamdani and his new housing administrator want to eliminate private property ownership. It is a “white thing” and white neighborhoods should be taxed more. It is imperative that you pay attention to your local county and stop these plans before you can’t.

Under President Trump’s lead, RFK Jr. is doing a great MAHA job. They just upgraded the health food guidelines and added more protein and dairy.  The top of the food pyramid is meat. Yeah. I can smell that steak on the grill. Hopefully the insane overreaching regulations on fertilizer and processing will be eliminated and meat prices will drop.

The administration was also busy on the vaccine side. When I was a child we took 7 vaccines over a period of time. Just like the Defense industry, big Pharma decided that stakeholders and executives deserved more money. So rather that making Americans healthy, they made Americans sick.  The administration just slashed the recommended vaccines from over 60 to 11. Plus, the vaccines were recommended but not mandated. Funny how the opposition will slant an article. This report from MSN was a joke.

Everything is connected. The fraud in Minnesota is never ending. Snap, Medicaid unemployment benefits, Feeding our Future, Daycare fraud, NGO’s. I read that Craig’s List had a call for child actors to pose in Daycare facilities.  Billions of dollars have been stolen from We The People. Please let us not be naive enough to think this is only happening in Minnesota. It is my hope that those criminal leaders involved will be arrested soon. Have you checked your state for fraud?

Why are democrats fighting to prevent the deportation of criminals? Because they are making money as well.  Lt. Michael Byrd, who Shot Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, operates a Taxpayer-Funded Home Daycare as $190 Million in Federal Child Care Funds Flow to Maryland.

I looked for fraud in Florida.  I was not really surprised to learn about the dirty politics of the  RPOF (Republican Party of Florida). It seems as though the Chairman of the RPOF, Evan Power, is a registered lobbyist with Ramba Consulting.

Of course after learning that, I am not surprised why the RPOF, a private corporation, in charge of supporting GOP candidates, is purging the grassroots  from local chapters.  In many cases, their refusal to help candidates causes the loss of GOP positions like the Democrat win in the Miami City mayors race. A republican position for over 30 years is now held by a democrat. Who exactly does Evan work for? Certainly not the Florida MAGA, grassroot Republicans. Evan is doing nothing to unite. Does the GOP want to win?

So much has happened this past week I can hardly catch my breath. Join me on this week’s show We will discuss the damage the GOP is doing to Florida with David Kalin in Segment 1. David ran for office and was purged by the RPOF. In segment 2 Ed Vidal will help us understand more forgotten history about the true story of Venezuela.

As always it is imperative that you share and spread the truth. There is so much confusion. Vet your candidates! Check out their actions. Use opensecrets.org to find their donors. What have they done to earn your vote? And above all, VOTE in the Primaries.

Is America worth saving?
