Fun Fact: Did you know that 25% of all Cap and Invest funds per gallon of gas California drivers are paying goes to fund CA high speed rail? Another Fun Fact: Everyone knows that CA drivers pay the highest fuel taxes in the US. But California paid the national average for fuel instead of the highest taxes in the country, drivers would save over $565 million every week. Half a Billion dollars. Per Week. Here’s the back of the envelope math: CA uses 258M gallons of gasoline + 67M gallons of diesel weekly. Prices are $1.81/gal higher for gas and $1.51 higher for diesel than the national average. That means Californians pay $465M extra for gasoline and $100M extra for diesel every week. War in Iran or not, Californians are paying hundreds of millions more each week because of California policies. energy.ca.gov/data-reports/e… energy.ca.gov/data-reports/e… gasprices.aaa.com/todays-state-a… (The green in this chart represents refining and processing costs btw)

@adamcarolla Dude, USA is playing the Dominican Republic right now in the WBC. Why TF are you watching that Oscar ghey deranged shit?

First we were told that we should approve the lottery because that money would help fix our public education system and roads. Then we were told that we should raise the sales tax from 4% to 6% because we needed that money for education and to fix the roads. Then we were told that we should approve casino gambling because that money would you guessed it go to education and fix the roads. And then we raised the gas tax and vehicle registration to fix the roads. Then we were told that we should legalize marijuana and use that revenue for education and fixing the roads. And now after all of this and the fact that our education system is one of the worst in the nation and our roads are even worse than that. Our politicians have decided to raise our gas tax even more again to fix the roads. And now they want a state income tax. ENOUGH OF THE LIES AND BULL SHIT. When the Law doesn’t apply to the lawmakers you’re being ruled. When corrupt politicians start to go to jail, we can start trusting the government again. And If you enter politics with debt and leave a multi-millionaire, you didn’t serve the people – you looted them.

@Xfinity I am in the process of the required conversion of my comcast email to the yahoo platform; WHAT A MISERABLE DOWNGRADE! How dissapointing - no longer professional grade. Will a reduction in price for this be following?

Dante is BACK!!!!

You know it’s not really about ice and Renee Good right? Just like it wasn’t really about George Floyd or Black lives. Every time the Republicans take control, Democrats and the left to find something about which to riot and cause mayhem. The cause doesn’t really matter. The point is to hold the nation hostage. To punish their fellow Americans for ever electing a Republican and make it so unpleasant to live around them that (they hope) we won’t do it again. That’s it. Has nothing to do with immigrants. Just like it had nothing to do with George Floyd or victims of sexual assault with Me Too or any of the other things that they used as cover for making their neighbors miserable.

On your birthday, we are reminded how impactful one's life can be. Rush continues to inspire us all to make the very best of our time here. With love, Kathryn

Anyone in California can tell you this happens every time they have jury duty. You're sitting there in the jury room and they make the announcement if you're not a citizen or if you're convicted felon etc you have to come forward and then you'll be dismissed and it's always amazing whenever you have jury duty how many people get dismissed for not being a citizen but somehow they're on DMV and voter registration rolls

True story

The Museum Civilization There is a peculiar class of modern Westerner who believes history has been permanently retired. They speak of conquest the way a child speaks of wolves. Simply confident it no longer applies, offended that you would even mention it, and deeply upset when reminded that teeth still exist. They insist the world runs on rules now and that borders are sacred. Also that true power has been replaced by paperwork. This belief is not moral in the least. It’s f*****g archaeological. They live inside institutions built by violence, defended by men they no longer understand, and guaranteed by forces they refuse to acknowledge. Like tourists wandering a fortress, they admire the stonework while mocking the idea of a siege. They confuse order with nature. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Then blame the person that reminds them of this. Civilization is not the default state of humanity. It is an achievement that is temporary, fragile, and expensive. It exists only where force once cleared the ground and still quietly patrols the perimeter. A lion does not debate the ethics of hunger. Neither does a starving empire. History is not a morality play, it is a pressure test. When pressure rises, abstractions collapse first. Laws follow power; they do NOT precede it. Property exists only where someone can prevent it from being taken. Sovereignty is not declared, it is enforced. The modern West outsourced this enforcement, then forgot the invoice existed. So when someone points out uncomfortable realities (whether about Greenland, Venezuela, or the broader balance of power) they respond with ritual incantations: “You can’t do that.” “That’s wrong.” “That’s against the rules.” As if the rules themselves are armed. As if history paused because we asked nicely. This is how empires fall. Not from invasion alone, but from conceptual rot. From mistaking a long season of safety for a permanent condition. From believing lethality is immoral instead of foundational. Every civilization that forgot how violence works eventually relearned it the hard way. The conquerors did not arrive because they were monsters; they arrived because their victims could no longer imagine them. The tragedy is not that power still exists. The tragedy is that so many have forgotten it does. Idk who needs to hear this but civilization is a garden grown atop a graveyard. Ignore the soil, and someone else will plant something far less gentle. Hate me for being the messenger and asking the hard questions about conquest if you want. You’re just wasting your time.

The Invoice of Power For all the crying haters of U.S. power projection. You mistake American peace for a donation. Peace is not mailed out like aid packages. It’s underwritten. By carriers you don’t build, by logistics you don’t maintain, by men and women you didn’t raise, and by a debt of blood you never agreed to pay. You mortgaged your future and outsourced your security. Now you project morality instead of power and call it “sovereignty.” You cry foul when America decides the bill is due. When we choose to remove a parasite like Nicolás Maduro from the bloodstream of a hemisphere we’ve kept stable for generations. You say it’s illegitimate, unfair, and that it violates norms. Norms are written by those who can enforce them. You ask if we think peace is benevolent. No. Peace is transactional. The price is alignment, stability, and order. If you don’t pay it, someone else will, eventually with interest. This is the sickness of the postwar world: a civilization feminized by safety it did not earn, mistaking feelings for force and outrage for deterrence. You boo and hiss about sovereignty while cheering mass migration, institutional decay, and the slow motion rape of the West. Your moral vocabulary is loud; your martial vocabulary is empty. So understand this clearly: If you disagree, do something about it. Because your boos mean nothing to a nation that has seen what you applaud. This is a mask off moment. You don’t have to respect America. Fear will suffice. We are not cruel, merely structural. Gravity does not apologize to the weak for pulling them down. Fire does not explain itself to straw. America is strong. You are not. That’s not personal. That is simply the way of things. Power is the rent you pay to exist unmolested in a violent world. If you refuse to pay it, don’t be shocked when the landlord shows up. I sometimes blackpill too hard. But lately, I’m starting to see America might not be in total decline, just hitting puberty. So yea, it’s about to get weird. But we aren’t going anywhere. For the soft among you out there, I guess you’re just gonna have to deal.
