If your city is currently (1) using reserves to balance its budget or (2) claiming it needs taxes to preserve services in a GOOD economy, just wait…

While Democrat-led cities in California spiral into debt and spend 25%+ of their budgets on pensions, Newport Beach is paying it down. ✅ Balanced budget 📉 $52M drop in pension liability 📈 81.8% funded Mayor Joe Stapleton is showcasing what responsible leadership looks like.

A major California business is leaving the state because of the poor business climate, and the governor’s spokesman says we should ignore the CEO’s opinions because she’s wealthy. Can someone explain why he thinks this is a good argument? I have no guess.

Will O’Neill: Newsom’s latest bro-washing podcast shouldn’t fool anyone trib.al/rFuOlI2

"What we're seeing right now is four years of Biden's open borders, soft-on-crime district attorneys, and then sanctuary cities. This toxic brew is coming together in sanctuary cities where it's like letting coyotes into the chicken coop and then protecting the coyotes."…

I have been asked a number of times to respond to Governor Newsom‘s claim the California is a “low tax state.“ Fortunately, a number of people and groups have debunked that claim repeatedly since he started making it in 2020. Sometimes the right response is clearly your gut.…

lol...the same editorial board makes this flat-out lie about the Merced-to-Bakersfield segment expected to be complete by 2030. The HSR IG's office 5 months ago: 'staying within the 2033 schedule envelope is unlikely' (even this is contingent on closing a $10B funding gap)

Friday night lights. Statewide demand for electricity in California is 32,209 megawatts at 9:20 p.m. The state is powered by natural gas, hydro, nuclear power and imported electricity. Renewables are adorable. Batteries run out around midnight.

In-n-Out President Lynsi Snyder reveals for the first time that she and her family are LEAVING California for Tennessee. “Raising a family is not easy here,” she told me. “Doing business is not easy here.” After 77 years, In-n-Out HQ will say goodbye to its home state and set…

The O.C. Register invited me to respond to Newsom’s podcast with @ShawnRyan762. The hardest thing was the 700-word limit…. ocregister.com/2025/07/18/wil…

The California High Speed Rail Authority suing someone for failing to deliver what was promised is one hell of a plot twist

The year is 2025 and California's High Speed Rail Authority's defense for being decades-behind schedule is that it's 'approaching the track-laying phase'

If someone from Orange County wins this contest, I will personally add $500 to the prize money. Get after it OC!

Oh, LA County’s Sheriff’s Department is suddenly cooperating with ICE again after four years of refusing to? Gosh, what changed?

JUST IN: President Donald Trump announces no more federal dollars will go toward CA’s high speed rail project. “Not a single penny in federal dollars will go toward this Newsom scam ever again,” wrote Trump.

Just In: California state lawmakers @SenStricklandCA @carldemaio sign paperwork to launch initiative process to get Voter ID requirement on the CA ballot in 2026. They’ll need about one million signatures.

VOTER ID: Assemblymember @carldemaio (R-San Diego) and @SenStricklandCA (R-Huntington Beach) announce they are officially filing an initiative to qualify a measure for the 2026 ballot to require Voter ID when casting a ballot in each election. The initiative will also require…

Yeah, he knew what he was doing. He closed only one county’s beaches. Ours. And he did it because of a deceptive photograph. Some of us stood up to him in the moment. He never apologized or acknowledged error … until five years later?
