Think California is a liberal bastion? Know your history. James Phelan was mayor of San Francisco from 1897-1902. He was a U.S. senator from 1915-1921. This is a poster from his 1920 re-election campaign. He lost, but later lobbied successfully to ban Japanese immigrants from coming to California.

Seeing the news out of Boulder is bone-chilling. Another violent, targeted attack on the Jewish community. The second in a two-week period. Keeping my prayers with the victims. We must resolve to drive antisemitism out of our society.

The antisemitic attack in Boulder was an act of terror—full stop. It was meant to send a message of fear. Our response has to send a louder one: there is no place for this kind of hate. Not in Boulder. Not anywhere.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Largely due to Tariffs... The City of Austin is facing a projected budget deficit of $33.4 million for fiscal year 2026, with a potential increase to $79.9 million by 2030. This shortfall is largely attributed to lower-than-expected sales tax revenues & a state-imposed cap on property tax revenue.
