All this talk reminded me of this song lol. I have a 4 year old

The only musical I could ever stomach. My grandkids all loved it setting with me ,popcorn, and Mary Poppins. My daughter watched it so much she can do the supercalifragilisticexpialodocious backwards!

I think that many voters have short memories. They live for the "here and now", and don't seem to rationalize the bigger picture, and long term results.

GOP support for eliminating filibuster picks up steam after Trump pressure

Senate Republican support for eliminating the filibuster is picking up momentum after President Trump invited members of the Senate GOP conference to the White House for a breakfast meeting Wednesd…

I really hope momentum dies. Is it just me, or does it feel like as much as Trump thinks can be accomplished, the Dems could eff it beyond repair if the get control again?

... Gas has stabilized here for around $2.60 a gallon.
...

Almost $3 a gallon less than what I am paying here in CA. Yet, when it was on the ballot to reduce the newly enacted gas taxes people still voted for higher taxes. Go figure. I just renewed my car registration as well $1,200+ for the year.

The EV sheeple will be pissed at this .
...maybe only sensible thing that dumb bitch has managed to think up...

Rachel Reeves considering pay-per-mile tax for electric vehicles in budget

EV drivers would face 3p-a-mile charge on top of other road taxes to offset falling revenue from petrol and diesel cars

That sounds good on the surface but if the people that move to red states still vote for democrats just not socialist/communist democrats it may turn some state houses and legislators blue. Since the census is taken every 10 years I believe, that gives them 5 years until the house seat allocations are divided up.
Another huge problem is whenever a red state redraws congressional districts it gets bogged down in court but if a red state does it nothing seems to be challenged. We may get some relief from this when the Supreme Court rules on the case out of Louisiana soon.

Yeah...what I was wondering was that he seemed to only focus on republicans leaving for other republican dominated states....but ignored what you said about Democrats leaving states they have fkd up and by doing so turning the states they are occupying....no mention of that....unless I missed it

I think you could expand on that Brent and say most people are that way in all facets of life not only politically

Gas over $5/gal and registration at $1,200/year??

Here at home, gas is about $2.70 and I just renewed the registration for my wife’s car for $66…..for 2 years!

No wonder people are fleeing CA!

And then run to Tik Tok to emote about the unfair cost of living.

Just paid 2.90 a gallon for Premium at Costco. While I love the price per gallon, I hate the price per barrel on crude.

Wasn’t sure where to post this but here it goes.
Japan has had over 100 bear attacks and 12 fatalities since April of 2025!
They said local authorities were going to help the local hunters control the bears but are not going to use firearms.

For years I had my Lambo registered at my TX address and was paying $70 for registration instead of $3K+ I would have paid. When I sold the place, I had to go for CA registration.

They going to go full "Mr. Miyagi" on those bears?

Most people have voted with their wallets and will continue to do so. Trump got elected with the promise of a better economy. People are not seeing his promise being fulfilled at the moment.

It has always been "what have you done for me lately" for most.

Bow hunting, I wonder?

In Ohio it cost me $80.

California's not the place to be.
