Does California have a large welfare fraud problem ? ? ? ?
Look what they are trying to sneak past you,
.
Recall that $950.00 limit on theft ? ?
.
From bill, SB560
“The bill would delete criminal penalties for welfare fraud
when the total amount of aid obtained or retained is above or below
$950, and instead make welfare fraud when aid was obtained or
retained in the total amount of $25,000 or more punishable by specified.
imprisonment in a county jail, by a fine, or by imprisonment and fine.”

look good ? ? ?
And now we know for sure whose side they’re on.
Well . . . .Lookie here ! ! ! ! !

So, are they trying to HIDE fraud ? ? ? ?
Wouldn’t want to hinder the presidential aspirations of
His Imperial Majesty, Emperor newsom.
Gavin Newsom is always bragging how California is the 5th largest economic power in the world. But it’s now revealed that next year California will have an 18 billion dollar deficit. And the two years following that will be $35 billion each! That man is in his own orbit. And the thought he wants to do for America what he’s done for California is scary as heck.
The dim bulb followers of Greasy Gaven would believe it if he made a public statement claiming that he’s personally responsible for the NASA space program Moon landing.

Those are currently projected future deficits, not yet actual deficits.
Of course not, they will be much higher than that!
The Trump administration is more of a joke than ever. And the joke is on us.
Former Pfizer attorney and current AG, Pam Bondi has released the next batch of Epstein files.
….Yes it’s real.
https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%203/EFTA00005586.pdf
blank pages?
100% redaction.
And why didn’t Biden release the Epstein files?
If there had been even one picture of Trump on the Lolita Express or anywhere on Epstein’s Island, they Biden administration would have released the files.
yoyohop,
.
Blame Congress, as the “Epstein Files Transparency Act” didn’t require all documents to be released and allowed for redactions to be made.
.
Attorney General Pam Bondi is horrible and needs to go away, but because of her extremely close relationship with White House Chief of Staff Susie Summerall Wiles we’re stuck with her.
@yoyohop, do not let anybody gaslight you on this. If there was nothing to hide, Bondi would have complied with the Epstien Transparency act. The only piece of information not redacted is a header in the upper right hand corner that reads, “Grand Jury – NY.”
https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_6#
According to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedures, Rule 6 is focused on Grand Juries. Secrion e, Recording and Disclosing the Procedings, subsection 2. Secrecy and 3. Exceptions. To summarize, the information deliberately within a Grand Jury trial is not to be shared. It is to be recorded, but only a federal judge can request or release those transcripts.
This is the same documents that Bondi and Trump have been dangling in everybody’s face since day 1 of this term, except for when they weren’t.
@The Black Knight, yes, within the Epstien Transparency Bill reductions are requested. It is standard to protect personal information of victims, as well as information pertaining to any ongoing investigation. However, the Bill’s authors were very specific about what they were requesting. It was not Grand Jury Transcripts.
Don’t take my word for it, read the bill yourself.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/4405
I feel it worth adding that Bondi has had these files and more about Epstien many times in her career as a state prosecutor in the state of Florida starting in 1992. 18 years later in 2010 she became the State Attorney General. Epstien was arrested in 2009.
@barstools and The Truth, Biden didn’t release anything because traditionally the President DOES NOT work in tandem with the Attorney General. They are not supposed to coordinate like Trunp and Bondi do. In short, Garland would have had to release information, not Biden.
Thankfully the Epstien estate is cooperating unlike our DOJ, and there are many pictures of Trump and Epstien together. They don’t have to be on “the island” for it to be a crime.
Even Patel brags of his time working as a public defender under Bondi’s term as state AG. I will gladly wear my tin foil hat over defending something as messed up as this.
Trump is trying to pardon Maxwell. That is not America first. That is not justice.
MFDoom,

I didn’t mention anything about any Grand Jury documents.
.
I had already read the bill before I made my original comment, which is why I said the bill doesn’t require all Epstein related documents to be released and allows for redactions to be made.
.
I know of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s previous position, and I didn’t care for her as Florida Attorney General anymore than I do in her position today. She was an Assistant State Attorney/Assistant District Attorney in Hillsborough County, Florida, not Palm Beach County, Florida, where Jeffery Epstein was charged, so, where did she get these and other “Epstein files” while employed in Hillsborough County?
.
Go ahead and believe that former President Joe Biden and former U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland never worked in tandem, but you’re only fooling yourself. Former President Biden only had to sign an Executive Order for former U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to release “the Epstein files,” it was that simple for him.
.
President Donald Trump doesn’t need to “TRY to pardon Maxwell,” as he has the power to just do it, if he so chooses.
California’s finances are in such bad shape they should have trouble finding someone even willing to run for Governor.
He’s driven out tech, energy, retail, finance, real estate investors, and even Hollywood.
California is a lost cause; a cautionary tale.
Like a mostly submerged sunken ship, the only purpose of California is to serve as a warning to others.
The Fearless Spectator,

California is full of wannabe politicians and politicians looking to run for the next office, we’ll never have a problem of finding people wanting to run for Governor of California or any other office, however, we may have a problem finding competent and quality candidates who are actually electable.
So this prophetic South Park Rob Reiner clip from 2003 is why the lefties here are so upset?
FF to 2:38 if you only want to see the pertinent part.

Geez…. doesn’t everyone love Eric Cartman?
Democrat, Republican, Socialist or Independent politicians the bottom line is they’re all a-hole’s, liars, pickpockets and thieves. Not a one of them can be trusted. It will always be this way and will never change.

It’s good to know that you don’t vote for Democrat, Republican, Socialist, or Independent politicians because they’re all a$$-holes, liars, pickpockets, and thieves who can’t be trusted.

This link should be required to watch by every student in California schools!!
One problem with a narcissist like Gavin and his lemmings is that they refuse to see
beyond their own beliefs or immediate focus. They possess an unwillingness to listen
to different viewpoints or opinions, and as a result find themselves stuck on one idea,
often a negative one, without exploring alternatives.
It’s not a wonderful life Gavin…..

Yes Doh, they should all be in jail.
But nothing about the Dem leadership in Minn? They allowed the Somalis to rape the state of $9 BILLION+ that was slated to feed the poor.
Just to put things into context: $9 Bil from hungry kids vs. under $1 Bil stolen from investors. Which is worse? Or what about your guy Gavin misplacing $24 BILLION of our money that was supposed to house the homeless? I’m sure there’s more but these are the two most egregious examples that I can recall off the top of my head. But like a true partisan, you only make lame comments about the other team.
My team sucks in many ways and I’m not afraid to say so. Your team sucks in every way and you’re too thick to even realize it.
Maybe time to rename MAGA to MAMA. Make America Mad Again! 😎
Or MCMA for Gavin – Make California Mexico Again

‘California Keeps Diablo Canyon Nuclear Reactor Running 5 More Years’
.
Since democrats eliminated scalable electricity generation capability,
Diablo Canyon nuclear plant operating extension, is evidence of
California’s aberrant green energy mindset fantasy.
.
Diablo Canyon nuclear plant,sits on an earthquake fault,
and is a “slide rule” designed plant. If plant were to close,
fallacy of green energy would become reality.

Dollar-Store Obama finally got something right. Hakeem Jeffries claimed that Republicans could care less about healthcare for everyday Americans, which is true.
What he left out is that Democrats couldn’t care less about Americans. Their priorities are illegal aliens and insurance companies.
