I’m (still) the only candidate in this race who is neither a billionaire nor taking corporate PAC money. Our campaign is powered by tens of thousands of Californians. That’s who the next governor should be focused on—not themselves, not their donors, not any insiders.

In a rare joint interview, three of America’s most influential cardinals, who actively serve archdioceses, share what they’re hearing in their pews.

The United States just reached across the goddamn globe and grabbed China by the pussy with the cold, unyielding precision of a scalpel forged in hellfire. Three oil tankers, fat with Iranian crude destined for Beijing’s gluttonous refineries, just reversed course like whipped dogs under the shadow of Trump’s naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. No shots fired. No diplomatic theater. Just raw, lethal enforcement after the mullahs’ peace talks collapsed into the dustbin of history. This isn’t some limp-wristed sanction kabuki. This is economic castration at mach speed...choking the lifeblood of the world’s factory floor before Xi Jinping can even finish his next fortune-cookie speech about “win-win cooperation.” Geopolitically, it’s fucking poetry in motion. The Strait of Hormuz is the jugular of global energy...20% of the planet’s oil supply funnels through that narrow throat, and China, that bloated dragon addicted to discounted Iranian barrels to keep its rust-belt economy from seizing up, just got reminded who controls the tap. Iran exports roughly 1.5 million barrels a day; a hefty slice sails straight to Shanghai under the radar of Western sanctions. Block that artery, and suddenly Beijing’s strategic petroleum reserves look like a kid’s piggy bank in a knife fight. Prices spike. Supply chains stutter. Factories idle. The CCP’s iron grip on its own people starts sweating under the weight of blackouts, inflation, and the quiet psychological rot of watching their “inevitable rise” get cocksmacked by American sea power. Xi and his cadre of wolf-warrior yes-men are wired for dominance theater...projecting unassailable strength while quietly terrified of any fracture in the illusion of control. This move exploits that beautifully: it’s not brute invasion, it’s Sun Tzu with Tomahawks and carrier groups. Force the adversary to defeat himself. Make the enemy feel the noose without ever seeing the hangman’s face. China’s elite know damn well their economy is a house of cards built on imported energy and exported lies; cut the flow, and the internal contradictions Marx warned about come roaring back as hungry workers and pissed-off princelings. The venom here is exquisite...Trump didn’t just sanction ships; he exposed the dragon’s soft underbelly, forcing Beijing to choose between licking Iranian wounds or risking domestic unrest that could unravel the Mandate of Heaven faster than any missile. Strategically, this is hybrid warfare at its most ruthless and refined: layered, deniable in the fog of “international norms,” yet lethally effective. No ground troops bleeding in some desert quagmire. No endless nation-building farce. Just forward-deployed naval assets, satellite overwatch, and the implicit threat of escalation that keeps everyone’s balls in a vice. It’s the modern equivalent of a naval quarantine with teeth...echoes of the Cuban Missile Crisis, but aimed at the wallet instead of nukes. China’s vaunted “String of Pearls” bases? Worthless when the real chokepoint is still American-controlled. Their Belt and Road pipe dreams? Just expensive highways to nowhere if the oil doesn’t flow. Precision lethality: hit the supply line, watch the empire of debt and dependency convulse. While the globalist eunuchs in Brussels and Davos clutch their pearls and whimper about “escalation,” Trump’s America just reminded the world that power isn’t measured in hashtags or climate accords...it’s measured in who can make the other guy’s tankers turn tail and run like the pussies they are. China thought they could play both sides forever: buy cheap dirty oil from pariahs while lecturing the West on morality. Today they got grabbed, hard, and the bruise is going to linger. This is what winning looks like when you stop pretending the game is fair. Ferocity wrapped in strategy. The dragon just got its wings clipped, and the eagle is laughing all the way to the next century. 💀⚔️👌🏻
