@neeratanden I've lived here every day of my life except vacations and military deployments. It's an utter disaster compared to what it was in 1995.

I was born and raised in this State and have lived here for 60+ years. I consider myself center/center right, not “right wing.” California is nothing like it used to be when I was growing up. Less personal freedom, terrible over-regulation, poor public education, high taxation, wasteful spending, corruption in Sacramento and lower quality of life. The list is endless. It’s directly related to one Party rule with members of that Party having lost their minds. Hopefully at some point people wake up and start electing politicians based upon competence and common sense before it’s too late.

Bringing a suitcase to the No Kings protest in Los Angeles was the first of many mistakes this anti-ICE agitator made yesterday.

Do people who voted for Chicago Mayor Johnson feel regret? Any lessons learned? I mean I feel the critics of today are also the critics of yesterday. Johnson does have ~30% approval rating. I mean, I know that's low, but it's still 3 in 10.

@Ryanexpress77 @OfficerDunphy @elgrenchoviejo @EmersenLee @CommissBratton Works for me.

Don't mess with the Horses. @OfficerDunphy @RealSteveBellow @elgrenchoviejo @EmersenLee @CommissBratton

Glad to see my analysis of @ZohranKMamdani’s recent announcement of a new Office of Community Safety appear in today’s @nypost: nypost.com/2026/03/28/opi…

@Rafa_Mangual @RobHarbin8 @ZohranKMamdani @nypost Good piece.

Four-time felon…

A new study finds California has the second worst roads in America, ahead of only Alaska. When you pay the highest gas taxes yet drive over the deepest potholes, your government is broken.

If only there was some other way to alert first responders before he bled out. You know, like some sort of technology that detects and reports gunshots so that we don’t have to rely solely on 9-1-1 calls… Oh wait, @ChicagoMayor got rid of it.

The current general manager of the Los Angeles Dept. of Water & Power (LADWP) had an annual salary of $750,000. The General manager before her made $447,000. During the current GM’s watch, the LADWP is facing numerous lawsuits because of allegations of inadequate water pressure in the hydrants, the Santa Ynez Reservoir, which was EMPTY at the time of the Palisades Fire, altering station logs to conceal the timeline of events during the fires initial hours and other alleged misdeeds. 12 lives lost, 6,800 structures destroyed and 23,000 acres destroyed during the current GM’s watch. The City of LA is right now honoring and praising her and she had a going away party yesterday because she is resigning. This is why no one trusts government anymore. LA City and LA County elected officials - they’re all on the same side. And it’s sadly not ours.

NEW: San Francisco judge Linda Colfax has released a man who fatally assaulted an 84-year-old because the prison sentence would have a "poor impact" on him. 25-year-old Antoine Watson was granted probation just two months after he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and assault. Watson violently assaulted Vicha Ratanapakdee in 2021, which resulted in his death just two days later. He was acquitted of first-and second-degree murder charges and instead convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Colfax says Watson being in prison would have a "poor impact" on him and didn't think he should be there because he "expressed remorse," according to the SF Chronicle. Colfax is accused of hiding details from the jury in an apparent effort to help Watson escape prison time. Infuriating and evil.

$22 Million. But they always need more taxpayer money.

When a man assaulted California politician @SpeakerPelosi's husband in San Francisco, he got life in prison with no parole. When a man kills an Asian senior citizen for sport in San Francisco, the progressive @SFSuperiorCourt releases him.

“Hernandez, who was picked up by police on March 10, is a  ‘serial criminal’ with a lengthy rap sheet of at least 15 charges, including aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and domestic violence, according to the Department of Homeland Security.” The illegal immigrant who killed Katie Abraham while drunk had also been pulled over previously for a DUI. Imagine if they had never been allowed in or if they had, at the minimum, be deported after the first offense… The pattern is clear: our elected officials refuse to hold illegal immigrants accountable to the law. Citizens pay the price.

American shows what it’s like at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles at nighttime This is the park that LA mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom said was a “family park” The city could fix this, they just don’t want to

The erosion of law and order. Not by the department, but by the city Council. nbclosangeles.com/investigations…

"It's not mine. I was holding it for a friend." --Every young thug caught with a gun. Of course this guy will be elected to the LA city council. You almost have to be a criminal to serve on it these days. latimes.com/california/sto…

This message is to @JBPritzker. If this insane and dangerous bill passes the legislature, lands on your desk, and you don’t veto it, then you are going to have a full on revolt on your hands. We have had enough of this bullshit.

It's official: A San Francisco judge just suspended the sentence of Antoine Watson, Grandpa Vicha's killer, and released him on probation. The judge said she thought imprisonment would have a "poor impact" on Watson. This is the state of SF courts. gli.st/lvyg5lck
