🚨 JUST IN: Democrat Sen. Alex Padilla announces plans to FULLY BLOCK the SAVE America Act, keeping the fraud going “We’re not going to let it get past the Senate.” They all cheat, and they ADMIT to it in broad daylight. Pass it and save 2026!

California is walking down the same path Cuba did. Cuba gutted its refining capacity and never recovered. Today they have rolling blackouts, fuel lines that last days, and an economy entirely dependent on foreign oil imports. California is doing the same thing, making it nearly impossible for oil and gas companies to operate. They require a gas blend no other state makes, charge the nation's highest gas taxes, and impose crushing regulations like cap and trade and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard. Valero is leaving the state entirely, and Phillips 66 just shut down its LA refinery. That's nearly 20% of California's refining capacity gone. I've watched this pattern before. It never ends well. Just ask Cuba.

California is now importing gasoline on a 4,000+ mile detour through the Bahamas before it reaches Los Angeles. Let that sink in. Because of Sacramento’s self-inflicted refinery closures, refusal to expand in-state capacity, hostility to interstate pipelines, and rigid regulatory regime, fuel that could move efficiently within California is instead being routed to a foreign port, transferred to a foreign-flagged vessel, and then shipped all the way around Mexico to California. More than 40% of imported gasoline in November came via the Bahamas. This is not climate policy. It’s carbon cosplay. We are: 🚢 Adding thousands of unnecessary shipping miles (and emissions) 💸 Layering transportation costs onto already record-high pump prices 🏭 Driving domestic refining capacity out of the state 📉 Weakening energy reliability in the world’s 5th largest economy And for what? To claim moral high ground while exporting jobs, outsourcing emissions, and increasing dependence on fragile global supply chains? California consumers pay more. California workers lose jobs. Global emissions don’t fall. This isn’t “energy transition.” It’s engineered scarcity — a deliberate degrowth strategy that punishes families and small businesses while destabilizing the grid and hollowing out the industrial base. Affordable, reliable, locally produced energy is not partisan. It’s foundational. Sacramento’s backwards energy policies are not saving the planet — they’re driving California into economic decline while shipping our fuel on a fossil-fueled world tour. The Golden State deserves better. Unleash California!

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli revealed California homeless funds were allegedly diverted. A developer received $26 million but didn’t complete construction, with at least $2.2 million used for personal expenses.
