Bill Clinton- 12.3 million deportations- 0 injunctions
George Bush- 10.3 million deportations- 0 injunctions
Barak O'Bama- 5.3 deportations- 0 injunctions
Donald Trump- 100 thousand deportations- 30 injunctions
Seems to be a conspiracy?

3 replies | The clown in Sacramento | By Mike Goodey on 4/29/25 10:32pm
Last week Gavin Newsom's administration released a plan to charge a mileage tax on all California drivers!!!
This week CA democrats are taking up 5 more tax hikes in the state legislature. Hasn't the CA dems wasted enough money and then can't find it?
1) Property tax-(9 bills): Dems have introduced nine separate bills that would increase our property tax in some way - with the worst being a costly property transfer tax that would give state and local government 5% of the value of every home sold- on top of the capital gains tax!
Dems are working with union bosses to repeal prop 13 on the ballot in 2026.
2) Payroll tax - Newsom has included a job-killing hike in the payroll tax - costing struggling small businesses $1B more per year in payroll costs. That means fewer jobs in our state.
3) Vacancy tax (SB789) After forcing businesses to close with excessive taxes and regulations, dems now want to impose a tax on vacant offices and retail stores that used to have all the businesses they destroyed. Adding insult to injury!!!
4) Social media tax (AB796) This week dems will vote on a bill to impose a tax on the social media platforms you currently use for free. Expect that tax to be passed on to the users of these platforms.
5) Income tax - (AB1428) This bill would increase tax to 13.8%.
6) Mileage tax (AB1421) Newsom plans on tracking every driver's mileage and charging them 6-9 cents per mile they drive. That's the equivalent of an 80 cent per gallon hike in gas tax. Typical driver will pay $900-$1200 per year on poorly paved roads we have already paid for with gas and sales tax!! Talk about kicking us when we are down!

2 replies | I have a friend. | By anotaryinva on 4/28/25 5:37pm
I have a friend, a bff if you will. We have been friends for over 40 years. I am a republican, she’s a democrat. This has never been an issue until now, suddenly I’m like a horrible person that could support republican policies and Trump. I live on the right coast she lives on the left coast. I am so sad that she is really ready to ditch 40 yrs. Has this happened to any of you?

"He has been a legislative failure. He has signed only five bills into law, none of them major, making this the worst performance at the start of a new president’s term in more than a century."
"But Trump, whose 100th day in office is April 30, has achieved one thing that is truly remarkable: He has introduced a level of chaos and destruction so high that historians are hard-pressed to find its equal in our history."

Governor Newsom wants to add a tax to all those who have solar because they are coming up short of what they were expecting. Talk about someone wanting to be king!!!
He's done all the wrong things here in California and still gets re-elected. Maybe he can fix our problems? Yea right, and I have some wetland in Florida to sell at a cheap price!!
What happened to the bullet train that is going cost billions more than projected?
This is just his calamity of errors.

2 replies | Congress speech | By Mike Goodey on 3/5/25 6:32pm
You have to admit the democrats at the congress speech last night looked like 6 year olds who didn't;t get their way. mostly they were mannequins sitting in their seats, glum with no expressions.
Especially when 13 year old cancer survivor was celebrated the dems didn't move! That wasn't political! The only notoriety the dems will get is how poorly they responded.
Thankfully Green was kicked out because he wouldn't sit down and shut up when requested by speaker Johnson. These dems are all losers!! A friend told my wife and I when we were talking about it that they aren't democrats, they are dumbcrats and dumbrats....an embarrassment to our country.

8 Demands Trump Has Made Before Zelensky Can Return
Politics
·
Mar 1, 2025 · BabylonBee.com
After flying to D.C. to purportedly sign a mineral rights deal, Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky wound up being kicked out of the White House until further notice. Not good!
President Trump has issued a list of eight demands that Zelensky must meet in order to be allowed back on White House grounds:
1. Purchase a tuxedo t-shirt for formal events: It's a step in the right direction.
2. Spell out "I'm sorry" on the White House lawn with rare earth minerals: Ideally while Zelensky stands crying with a boombox over his head.
3. Arrange a special screening with all the other actors in Paddington: Trump loves that little bear.
4, Say one nice thing about Vladimir Putin: Just suck it up and say Putin looks good shirtless on a horse.
5. Learn how to cuss in English: We strongly prefer to be cursed at in our national language.
6. Bring two Big-Macs with Extra Large fries: Not for a particular reason, Trump was just hungry when he made this list.
7. Call your buddy Ben Stiller and tell him to please dye the gray out of his hair: It looks terrible.
8. Bring back ten of the dollars from the $100 billion in aid that he "doesn't know the location of": Shouldn't be that hard.
Just eight simple tasks and we can put this whole affair behind us. Your move, Zelensky.

3 replies | Finally Wesleyan Pres Roth speaks out against Trump | By sigtogo/OR on 2/23/25 3:05pm
I am lucky to live in a state where our two senators are willing to speak truth to power. We certainly have more and more governors willing to speak out and stand up. What has been lacking to me are voices from our countries universities. Kudos to President Roth. this is a gifted article: http://wapo.st/3ENVtxX
