Booker in CA

Morning in America.

If this continues, there will be no America, just some land where American people used to live. A country is its people, not its land.

@BreeSolstad Current audio book.

Starting on my summer reading list tonight! What’s on your list this summer?

An American had been paying $45 cash for her medication. She finally gets “great” insurance. Now the pharmacy runs it through her plan — and the price jumps to $300 for the SAME generic. With insurance: $300. Without it: $45. Health insurance is a legalized SCAM.

If it feels like there’s less enthusiasm for America’s 250th it probably has something to do with the gajillion foreigners here who have zero ties to our culture and history. America when it’s an idea does not produce the same results as America when it’s a nation and a people.

@JackPosobiec 1976 was so different. I was 10 and there were patriotic celebrations everywhere. I even had a Spirit of '76 bicycle.

My parents were at the 1976 Bicentennial at Valley Forge and have told me my whole life how big of a deal it was Tons of people came, covered wagons that ACTUALLY traveled from every state with parades 250th doesn't feel as big. It was a different country

As others have observed, the Republican Senate establishment would rather lose John Cornyn than pass the Save America Act. Voter ID is an 80-20 issue. And yet they'll sacrifice one of their own to prevent it from passing.

The first Christians did not gather around a Bible study. They gathered around the Eucharist. The New Testament canon would not be finalized for centuries, but the Mass was already the center of Christian life from the beginning.

107 year old Civil War veteran visiting an Air Force base, 1955. In one life has seen so much it must have been in comprehensible. This is why I have curated and saved 100s of 1000s of media from our great past. His context is more vital than ever in the Age Or Amnesia.

In light of the Islamic center shooting today, I think it’s time to make sure Muslims are safe. The best way to ensure their safety is for our DHS Secretary Markwayne Muslim @SenMullin to deport every Muslim in America back to the Middle East where they can live in fully Islamic societies and blast their call to prayer without triggering Amercians into psychosis as a side effect of having their non-Islamic habitats disrupted by invasive species. Let’s make sure Muslims are safe. Send them back to the Middle East where there’s a mosque on every corner.

Los Angeles, California, 1965, just before the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (aka the Hart-Celler Act) took effect.

Another foreigner in Los Angeles stealing massive amounts of money from American taxpayers A man from Armenia stole $500 million dollars through a renewable fuel tax credit fraud scheme He had so much money he couldn’t launder it all and started buying Lamborghinis, Bugattis, private jets, yachts, and mansions in Turkey, Huntington Beach, and Utah “Prosecutors say Lavon employed a team of corrupt law enforcement officers, including former DHS agent Felix Cisneros, also former Glendale detective John Saro Balian, and former FBI agent Babak Broumand” “One of the most audacious tax frauds in history. Levon was a Bel Air billionaire and gas station tycoon” But like always, it’s just another foreigner stealing our money The company was Washakie Renewable Energy They filed false claims saying they produced and sold hundreds of millions of gallons of qualifying biodiesel, most of which never existed or was recycled on paper. They submitted paperwork to the IRS claiming massive biodiesel output from their Utah plant, supported by falsified records. They created fake import records and transportation logs to make it look like they were legitimately producing fuel from waste oils and grease. Received over $511 million in actual IRS payouts They then laundered proceeds through billions in fake transactions across multiple bank accounts When they couldn’t launder the money anymore because it was so huge they started buying mansions and sports cars No American citizen should be paying a single cent in taxes

Karen Bass is the worst leader I’ve ever seen. Nobody knew she was out of the country during the Palisades Fire. Nobody could order air tankers because her deputy mayor was under house arrest. Her LADWP chief didn’t know our reservoir was empty. Karen Bass is running an absolute CLOWN SHOW. Vote like your life depends on it! Cuz it does!

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality. There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it! I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America. OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.

Google is attempting to manipulate the LA mayoral election. Why should they be given massive tax breaks and data centers? They will use this to help elect communists and destroy the country. nypost.com/2026/05/18/us-…

🚨🚨An unelected bureaucrat —Senate Parliamentarian is now trying to kill the President of the United States: The Senate Parliamentarian just blocked $1B in Secret Service funding for Trump's White House East Wing ballroom security upgrades. Thune: DO YOUR JOB, or resign.

Two hundred and fifty years ago today — on May 17th, 1776 — the Second Continental Congress called for a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer. Today, exactly 250 years later, we gather to do the same. To humbly ask once more for God's mercy and guidance — as we enter the next 250 years of this republic.

Apparently Google decided “showing current reality” might not be ideal for reelection optics of LA mayor? So now Google Maps is serving pre fire images for parts of LA us and our neighbors live.

Big Tech keeps promising AI doctors while releasing more gambling apps and raising everyone’s power bills.

I have the only endorsement i need. Moms and animal lovers who want to feel safe.
