If they didn't spend the money on the train, then what did they spend it on?

Education system ? illegals with 100% free healthcare ? Changing the new Billionaire Tax Act from 5% of net worth to 8% then eventually to 10%. Revoking mandatory schooling for all children. Parental control over any child over the age of 5 to be conducted by the state. Changing the retirement payout to 100% pay after only 2 years of work. Theft of over $900 to be changed to theft of only structures valued at $1 million and above is prosecutable causing taxes to fund grocery stores and businesses. Removing all gas stations by 2040 & mandatory green energy is my best guess.

* Always MAGA attacking California because they have nothing better to do. They can’t find the time to criticize this administration or isn’t handling of the economy or the war, but hey- let’s go after Gavin &  California.

* It’s always the  Roaches complaining 🪳🪳

It's not MAGA attacking California, it's every where on how bad it is. Here's ya proof.

What are the negatives of living in California?
Con: Food, utilities, and other daily costs are high

California's high cost of living isn't limited to housing – it extends to everyday expenses like food, utilities, and other basic services. Groceries in California are often more expensive than in many other states, especially fresh produce, dairy, and meat. Apr 1, 2025

Why are people moving away from California?
People are leaving California primarily due to an affordability crisis, driven by exceptionally high housing costs, taxes, and daily expenses like gas and groceries. Residents, particularly middle-income families and renters, are moving to more affordable states to achieve homeownership, lower their cost of living, and escape high tax rates.
Public Policy Institute of California
Housing Costs & Cost of Living: California is over 50% more expensive for housing than the national average, prompting people to move where their money goes further. Renters who leave are often seeking a path to homeownership, with many finding more affordable housing, saving an average of nearly $700 per month.

* No one is going to waste their time and read that shxt. What’s you guys obsession with this State? Always going after it as though it’s a burden. How about posting HOW much our State TAx money is forwarded to the Treasury in order to keep Poor Red States afloat.

* MAGA is terrified about the prospect of Gavin becoming President. One thing is for sure, the next Democratic president is going to send the head of the FBzi, Kash Patel packing, the same goes for the Chairman of the joint Chief of Staff, sent back into retirement.

* once a Roach🪳 always a 🪳.

             The Journalist.

* It is MAGA, just as this war in Iran Is Trump’s.

* You guys never point to any Red State, not TX or FO, just CA when the spotlight needs to be on. Stop kidding yourselves. When it comes to fraud, in your minds-let’s go after Minnesota & California because we led to believe no Red State has any fraud going on, they as pure as the driven snow.

* The same bs is with Voter fraud, only Blue States practice that. There were no issues when Reagan & both Bushes was n the Presidency, then the felon shows up, wins in 2026( No problem) loses in 2020 ( is a problem) No problem in 2024, but we need it anyway😳

* I got your number fool. It’s the reason l own you.😊

“ wins in 2016 ( no problem.) Your posts are as bad as sitting through the Melania movie😑

Gr, US News and World said that about CA ?? Talk about about a kick in the privates by a loved one...Ouch

I have to include TN in the top 5 for worst roads especially on the major roads.

CD, I saw that and I was like WHOA!!

USN&W is a 47- hating machine. Greasy must have not tipped them well  !!

Well I seem to recall Hillary and Stacey Abrahams both claiming their elections were stolen, but yet they never tried to prove it or fix it, so it could never happen again. Why didn't they?
And now Trump IS trying to fix it and get rid of the voter fraud and dems are fighting against it.
Why would they be against getting rid of voter fraud?
Because they always use it themselves that's why.

CD, Maybe they didn't get their 4am talking point that day. lol Could it be they are waking up?

Eight hours later and no responses from the libbies. Apparently they don't like it when you show them actual facts. It ruins their narrative.

@grwurston, these babbling idiots that we have here at LP could never see the truth if it slapped them upside their heads. If an article came out about Putin farts at least 40 times a day, they would say well, that President Trump farted at least 80 times a day. They get their information from 3rd world countries and think they have hit the jackpot. They don't know how to stay on point for anything just spewing their garbage and showing EVERYONE just how dumb and naïve they really are. I have a laugh a day just trying to read their collective garbage. LOL.

* Pleased to read that you do miss our posts- pity that with all that education, you refuse to acknowledge you walking in darkness. What’s wrong with you?

Yeah MD it's amazing where they come up with some of their stuff. LOL
I challenged him to go to quitting time before goofing off on the blogs. He couldn't even make it to 1:00 before his TDS took control and made him do it.
