🚨 NEW CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES ID FOR CREATINE AND PROTEIN POWDER
Starting next year, an ID will be required to buy:
Creatine.
Protein powders
pre-workout
Diet pills
And more dietary supplements
You can’t make this up. We were just told for the past year that requiring an ID is racist because of the systemic barriers associated with obtaining an ID.
So either the majority doesn’t want black, brown, poor, and immigrants to have access to health supplements, or they’ve been lying to us about their arguments over ID requirements.
Stay informed. Stay involved. Share. Save California.

He drew the maps, and his maps worked.
But Democrats took the U.S. House and Senate before California's polls even closed.
Were the state's gerrymandered maps necessary?
"Absolutely" said @paulmitche11, noting political and financial benefits:

Bay Area just voted to tax its own meat out of existence. Half-cent to a full penny, 14 years, $440 a house. TV says it's because they hate @realDonaldTrump. Family buying broccoli instead of steak just raised its own prices. You hurt yourself. #California

$2,000 TO CARRY A GUN?!
A city in California just got a warning from the Department of Justice over its concealed carry licensing fees.
Glendale reportedly raised its initial application fee from $100 to $1,078.
Add the other expenses, and a first-time applicant could be looking at approximately $2,000.
TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Just to obtain permission to legally carry a firearm in public.
And here's why I've been against mandatory licensing requirements for years.
WHEN THE GOVERNMENT CONTROLS THE PERMISSION SLIP, IT CONTROLS THE PRICE.
Make that price high enough, and you've effectively priced people out.
Someone wealthy can afford it.
But what about someone working paycheck to paycheck?
What about someone who needs to protect themselves but can't afford a $2,000 permit?
And here's the part that makes this even more interesting.
In its 2022 Bruen decision, the Supreme Court specifically raised concerns about exorbitant permit fees that deny ordinary citizens their right to public carry.
Now the DOJ is threatening legal action against Glendale.
No court has ruled on Glendale's fees yet, but the constitutional question is significant.
So here's my question:
Should ANY constitutional right come with a $2,000 price tag?
And how much does your state or city charge you to carry?
DROP YOUR LOCATION AND THE FEE BELOW.
Full breakdown on my YouTube channel.

The 2022-2024 43 state updated number of "New Registered Voters" registered WITHOUT proof of U.S. citizenship raises from 20,283,937...
To a STAGGERING 24,662,998 new registered voters registered without proof of U.S. citizenship.
Democrats coincidentally gained over 20 MILLION new voters within the same time period, while Republicans gained over a million new voters.
This tells you everything you need to know.

Politician: I hate your culture, your civilization, your religion, your society, your people. I hate your music. I hate your dogs. I hate your literature. I hate your personal freedoms and liberties. I hate everything about you. Everything.
Electorate: Sure but do you hate Trump?
Politician: Yes.
Electorate: Well then, I see no reason not to vote for you. You've earned my vote.

Rien n'est plus important que la démographie.
Aucun homme politique ne pourra s’opposer au destin d’une nation s’il ne prend pas en compte l’importance de la démographie.

Hey @grok . The World Trade Center was bombed in 1993. Did a friend of the mastermind of that bombing just win an election in New Jersey?

California’s electricity is 32.6¢/kWh.
Only Hawaii is worse.
Nobody could have predicted that green mandates, renewable portfolio standards, wildfire liability schemes, regulatory capture over reliable affordable power, and endless climate justice lectures would lead to this.
Meanwhile, Nevada next door is 13.4¢.
Same grid region and climate challenges, but completely different policy choices.

We should make a law that all senators are elected for life and they must die in office.

THE 15% BAND
Look at this chart.
59 races. Senate and governor.
States ordered from reddest to bluest in 2024.
The solid lines are 2024.
The dashed lines are 2026.
The shaded bands are what moved.
One formula fits all of it:
Republican 2026 = 0.85 × Trump 2024
Democrat 2026 = Harris 2024 + 0.15 × Trump 2024
For every 1,000 Trump points, 850 stayed Republican. 150 landed on the Democratic side.
The numbers:
Senate: Republicans kept ~85% of Trump’s share
Governor: ~86%
Variation explained: 88%
What makes it strange:
It didn’t matter how red the state was. Wyoming, Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts: same 15% (p = 0.69). The Democratic gain was sized by Trump’s vote, not Harris’s. The Harris part is zero.
The 0.85 beat both standard election-swing models in every set of races.
Drop any single state and the multiplier stays between 0.846 and 0.853.
Why seats flipped:
At 0.85, any state where Trump got under about 58.5% falls below 50%. Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, North Carolina: all under that line. All flipped.
What this means:
Midterms are messy. This one isn’t. Two sets of races, different candidates, different campaigns, and the same 15% decrease almost everywhere.
A pattern this even demands answers at the ballot level: paper ballot hand counts, poll-book check-ins against votes counted, and voter files showing who actually turned out.
The numbers raise the question.
The ballots can answer it.
