We were told to watch California, CA is now in trouble, Newsom is raising taxes when he said he wouldn't, but don't worry its only temporary which means permanent. CA is dead last for opportunities. Biden is releasing oil from reserves to lower fuel costs, right on schedule. Momentum is building to end the fed. The [DS] is now panicking, Comey says if Trump gets back in the country will change, translation, the criminal syndicate will come to end. The [DS] realizes that if all else fails and they cannot cheat they will need to postpone the election. The cyber attack narrative is now building. The stage is set, never interfere with the enemy while they are in the process of destroying themselves.
“buried” in Newscum’s new budget proposal are $18 billion in “temporary tax hikes” for the California businesses still hanging on—over the past few years, a significant portion of the state’s businesses were forced into insolvency by government “pandemic” mandates, taxes, and crime, while many others fled the state altogether—but by “temporary” we know that actually means… permanent. From Luthi:
Newsom unveiled his budget proposal on May 10, and the tax policy details the following week. The proposal would, for the next three years, bar businesses earning $1 million or more from deducting operating losses from their taxes while also limiting business tax credits. The provisions are projected to cost California businesses about $18 billion through 2027, although they wouldn’t take effect if tax collections beat expectations. Such a scenario appears unlikely, however, given that California’s tax revenues are massively down thanks to a stagnating economy and exodus of both high-earning residents and businesses.
Now, while Newsom was making promises not to increase taxes (California already has the highest state income tax in the nation), he was spending billions—so it should have been known at the outset that his promises were empty, because from where else would the cash to cover the nearly seventy-billion-dollar deficit come?
According to Kenneth Schrupp at The Center Square, a new analysis from the U.S. News and World Report agency found that California ranked “dead last” among the 50 states when it comes time to “opportunity.”
What could have possibly indicated that California wasn’t the friendliest location for anyone wanting to build a life of prosperity and freedom?
Was it the state’s nearly seventy-billion-dollar deficit?
Was it the mass exodus that has seen hundreds of thousands of people flee the state for friendlier locales, a trend which has resulted in a net negative for legal population and hit the tax-happy state where it hurts, i.e. fleeing revenues?
Was it the flight of more than 350 big businesses, a handful of which were Fortune 1,000 companies like Tesla, HP Enterprise, and Oracle? F
Was it the influx of millions of third world migrants who came for welfare?
Was it the news that the government would be handing out $1,200 per month to transvestites/transsexuals simply because of their mental illness? (A person could stay on that program for up to 18 months, which would yield a $21,600 handout.)
Was it the news that the government would be handing out “free” beer and vodka shots to homeless drunks at the expense of the taxpayer?
Was it the fact that California has the highest state income tax rate in the U.S., coming in at more than 13%?
Was it the price of gas which is typically double the national average? (In 2022 in Mendocino, California, gas hit $9.91 per gallon.) Was it the state’s gasoline tax of “57.9 cents” per gallon, a tax that’s also recognized as “highest in the nation”?
Was it the state’s war on reliable and affordable energy, the very thing that makes the world move?
Was it the state’s war on the farmers providing the food?
Here are a few more details, also from Schrupp:
California housing is so expensive that the typical home requires a household income of $224,000, or three times the median household income to afford. Gasoline in California is more expensive than even Hawaii’s, which must be imported across the Pacific Ocean, and proposed taxes could raise gas prices an additional $1.11 per gallon by 2026. The state’s energy is more expensive than any state’s other than Hawaii, further increasing the cost of living.
America’s largest water district, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which supplies water for 19 million Americans, is raising rates 40% due to revenue losses from high levels of water conservation, putting additional pressure on Californians’ budgets.

Biden releasing 1 million barrels of gasoline from Northeast reserve in bid to lower prices at pump
The Biden administration said Tuesday that it is releasing 1 million barrels of gasoline from a Northeast reserve established after Superstorm Sandy in a bid to lower prices at the pump this summer.
The sale, from storage sites in New Jersey and Maine, will be allocated in increments of 100,000 barrels at a time. The approach will create a competitive bidding process that ensures gasoline can flow into local retailers ahead of the July 4 holiday and sold at competitive prices, the Energy Department said. The move is intended to help “lower costs for American families and consumers,″ the department said in a statement.

Hunter Biden made another effort Monday to halt his coming trial, which is scheduled to start on June 3.
A Third Circuit Court of Appeals panel declined Hunter Biden’s May 9 motion to dismiss three felony gun charges brought by Special Counsel David Weiss. His attorneys asked either the full court or the panel to reconsider the ruling and prevent the case from moving forward in the meantime, writing there is “no urgency in having an immediate trial.”

Illegal immigrants are apparently paying attention to political poll numbers in the United States.
Many of them are afraid that Trump is going to win in November and they’re rushing to the border as a result. They’re afraid that the free-for-all they have enjoyed under Biden will be all over and the border will finally come to an end.
Say what you will about these people, but they’re not stupid. They know Biden is in their corner and that Trump is serious about border security.
Migrants rushing to cross border now in case Biden loses in November: ‘We don’t want Trump’Migrants are coming to the US now because they fear President Biden could lose re-election in November and Donald Trump will shut the border.
If you care about the security of our borders, the choice could not be more clear.
Unchecked mass migration is one of the key geopolitical issues of our days, one that mobilizes passions both in the US, the EU and most of the Western world.
But now, the troubles of illegal migration are starting to affect other parts of the world, with Eastern Europe up in arms against it, and even in North Africa, where citizens in Tunisia are protesting against it.
Hundreds of Tunisians marched through the coastal town of Jebeniana to protest ‘the presence of sub-Saharan migrants’.
These unwanted guests have found themselves stranded on their way to Europe, as the country ramps up border patrol efforts.
World Economic Forum founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab will be stepping back from his role running the global gathering since he founded it in 1971.
Schwab announced his intentions in an email to staff on Tuesday that was shared with Semafor by a person connected to the organization.
He will be stepping down as executive chairman and transitioning to a role as non-executive chairman, he said, adding the change in his role is pending approval by the Swiss government but should be finalized ahead of the WEF’s annual meeting in 2025.
Schwab has not named his successor, but said that over the last year, the group’s executive board, “under the leadership of President Børge Brende, has taken full executive responsibility.”
The Forum operates much like a family business, with Schwab’s children appointed to high-ranking positions and his wife Hilde heading the organization’s foundation and awards ceremonies in Davos.
In recent years, the Forum has shifted its focus towards the center, and away from liberal politics, Semafor previously reported.

The WEF is Klaus Schwab's life legacy. He thought 2024 would mark the end of the 16-year plan to dismantle America, and UN troops would have sovereignty to march wherever they please by now. Instead of presiding over the crowning moment of Lucifer's one world government, he's…
Taiwan’s new president has been sworn into office, calling on the Chinese regime to stop its military and political intimidations in a speech unlikely to deter the communist regime’s ambition to seize control of the self-ruling island.
In his 30-minute inaugural speech on May 20, Lai Ching-te, from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), said that Taiwan is a “sovereign and independent country,” and that the island nation and the communist regime in mainland China “are not subordinate to each other.”
“I also want to call on China to cease their political and military intimidations against Taiwan, and share with Taiwan the global responsibility of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, as well as the greater region, and to ensure the world is free from the fear of war,” Mr. Lai said.

Among the many incidents from Trump’s early years in the 1970s and 1980s to his The Art of the Deal fame, there is a scene in the film of the past and potentially future president raping his then-wife Ivana (Maria Bakalova). The first former Mrs. Trump, who died in 2022, had spoken of the sexual assault in the years following the couple’s divorce but later recanted the incident in the decades before her death.
“We will be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers,” the Trump campaign’s Steven Cheung declared Monday over theThe Apprenticefilm by director Ali Abbasi. Depicting the rise of Trump (Sebastian Stan) out of his father’s shadow thanks to the well-connected and ruthless Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the film just debuted in the South of France to an 11-minute standing ovation.
“This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked,” spokesperson Cheung said of the Competition film. “As with the illegal Biden Trials, this is election interference by Hollywood elites, who know that President Trump will retake the White House and beat their candidate of choice because nothing they have done has worked.”
NOW AND FOREVERMORE. It would be a Big, Bold, Beautiful, but Highly Unexpected, yet BRILLIANT, step toward Justice in New York, and our Nation as a whole!
TRUMP: “They have no case. There is no crime.. The whole world is watching and they're seeing what's happening. You can't use conflicted judges.. you'll ruin the whole system—Any other judge would have thrown this case out.”

The White House has refused to confirm or deny whether or not Joe Biden plans to use drugs to enhance his debate performance.
Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for Biden to be drug tested before each debate, claiming that he was “high” during the State of the Union.
Politico asked the White House about whether or not Biden intends to use drugs as part of his debate prep.
“Joe’s counting on cancellation if Trump’s found guilty. Reading from the prompter he’ll say he can’t debate a felon.
Now, there's no real case in the Trump hush money trial. It's imploded in so many ways. if Trump should win legally
Then what?
Trump has already expressed concerns about Joe being juiced; he's saying he would be asking for a drug-testing requirement.

The Environmental Protection Agency has issued an enforcement alert urging water systems to take immediate action to protect the nation’s drinking water from foreign cyberattacks.
Cyberattacks against water utilities across the country are becoming more frequent and severe, the agency announced Monday.
EPA officials warn approximately 70 percent of utilities inspected by federal officials over the last year violated standards designed to mitigate cyber threats.
As nation-states including Russia and Iran have impacted water systems of all sizes, even smaller water systems are being urged to improve protection against cyber attacks.
Water systems typically rely heavily on computer software to operate treatment plants and distribution systems.
The agency notes that a cyber attack on US water systems could result in damage to pumps and valves, interruptions to water treatment and storage, and alteration of chemical levels to hazardous amounts.
