Concordejet….you’ve apparently moved too far to the right ( Whatever Column is on the left). Maybe it’s a subliminal political thing.
I honestly didn’t think it was going to be this good, after his 1st term didn’t really blow me away with things. Knowing what we do now with the deep state and bad actors, it’s all starting to make sense.
Nice to have an actual president and leader in the seat. Been a long long time.
Our President has become the President of the world. Not only does he care about the people of the United States but he is brokering peace throughout the world. I am so proud.

nuisance used to have some level of political savvy, an almost gifted government troll. Now, he has replaced his expensive loafers and overly pomaded coiffure with size 40 bowling shoes and a shock red clown wig. This ridiculous act may play in coastal California, not so sure anywhere else, and none of it will distract any other lib candidate from highlighting (lowlighting) all the damage he (and the party) has done to the now tin state (all the gold is going or gone). By the way, gavvy, nice retort when a corporation announced that because of taxes, crime, cost of doing business and (you’re) political climate, no stores, not one, will open in the state.
I wish people would understand, Texas redistricting is allowed by their state constitution. California passed laws that said no. This is why I have an issue with what Newscum is proposing … he wants to temporarily change the constitution to fit his needs. And he wants to change it through 2028, which would be after Trump leaves office … so Newscum is trying to buy the presidential election as well.
And then you look at the maps .. what do Marin and Redding have in common? Nothing.
Then we have Newscum response to Bed Bath and Beyond – real professional.
Then we have California giving a driver license to an ILLEGAL who has now killed three innocent people – all because California is a sanctuary state. And what has Newscum said about the three innocents killed because of his personal opinions he has placed upon us … NOTHING!
What is nice is the timing, Texas triggered democrats and could well end up
in higher Courts where they’ll no win.

His Imperial Majesty, Emperor newsom is giving ample evidence of impulsivity

Truly wonder when he last read our founding documents with comprehension and clarity.
California will be voting and that’s what makes legal.
Legal?
We already voted on this, twice and both times said no. So is this really about voting or is it really about whining to see if you can get your way?
Since when do we just keep bringing up the same issue again and again till we get our way? How is that supposed to work?
Cry baby Newscum does not think the laws or rules apply to him … he is a hypocrite (in some ways like Trump). Cry Baby Newscum defies our immigration, death penalty, covid laws .. all for his personal opinion and gain. He does not care about you Ken, he only cares about himself and his friends wife.

More damning news out regarding CA’s bullet train.
The latest report from High Speed Rail Authority says that $1 Billion per year is needed from the state to fund the project. This will allow the train to complete the leg from Bakersfield to Merced by 2032. Another projection, the Bakersfield to Merced stretch will operate at a multi million per year loss and require the state to make up the difference.
If you recall, the train to nowhere was originally sold as a cheap alternative to flying between LA and SF. The cost was estimated at $33 Billion with service between LA and SF beginning in 2020. And it was supposedly going to be self funding. We have already spent more than the original estimate, are at least 6 yrs behind schedule, and only have an unfinished leg between two rural cities that nobody wants to go to. The full LA to SF plan was scrapped by Newsome as too costly. If you want the full, original vision of LA to SF, then CA would need an additional $87Billion above what has already been wasted.
The only thing high speed about this boondoggle is how fast the money disappears.
Newsom’s election supporters were repaid with lucrative contracts to build the project.
So were his athletic supporters.

We would’ve been better off if the State of California just extended the Amtrak rail line from Bakersfield to Santa Barbara, so that we could get rid of the horrible bus bridge that currently exists between those 2 cities.
.
Even Congressman Mark DeSaulnier has said that the State of California made a huge mistake with the route chosen, and that the state should’ve put the HSR line down the center of I5, where a right-of-way already existed.
Just one of many mistakes that Newsome made. They continue to make really big mistakes because they insist on throwing good $ after bad $.
It’s like they are holding a poker hand that is obviously way behind and they continue to raise the pot. Stupid.
Pure guessing on my part,
Minneapolis church shooter,
criminal record,
bought firearms legally,
mental health issues,
social media rants,
trans.
We have almost the same guess.
I was thinking an ex-student, either gay or trans, who felt slighted that a Christian school would not accept them. Another guess is an ex who lost custody of his kids and took a “If I can’t have them, nobody can” attitude.
No matter how you slice it, this was perpetrated by a crazy person with evil intentions.
What’s evil is the news outlets cropping his photo so you can”t see the pigtails.
It turns out Robin, is a Robert.
As we’ve grown accustomed, the media protects the criminal. However the manifesto has already been released by independent sites.
As always, politicians are immediately beating on their chests and blaming the gun and not the sick person.

Further investigation may well find an anti Trump obsession,
likely fueled by media wing of democrat party.

Had their been open carry armed security, IT
likely would not have attacked the church.
.
Has now been reported firearms used today in Minneapolis,
WERE LEGALLY PURCHASED.
.
As investigation continues, might find out there were events
that would have, had they been reported to federal authorities,
preventing firearms purchases.
.
Until a way is found to find potential shooters, perhaps gun free zone
signs should be replaced with signs that signify children are important
and should no be placed in gun free zones.

Bingo.
Legally purchased, social media rants, trans.
I read one report saying it originally planned to attack a different target but it would be racist to shoot up a minority church. WTF is wrong with people? Racist, never! Murderer, OK!
All correct, but you forgot Trump Derangement Syndrome & Left Wing Lunatic.
