Snakes do shed their skin from time to time. Perhaps Governor Gavin Newsom recently went through the ecdysis process and is temporarily testing out what sticks to his new coat of fresh skin, until it’s time to shed again.
A while back Gavin Newsom was dating and then married Kimberly Guilfoyle who later came out as a bellowing ultra conservative. She’s currently living as though she’s married to one of Donald Trump’s boys. It’s likely that both Newsom and Guilfoyle are uncertain as to what they identify as.
.
My personal theory is that there’s not much of a difference between the two main political parties. They regularly exchange spit and positions.
WC Resident,

Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle broke up months ago. He has a new girlfriend and she’s been nominated by President Donald Trump Sr. to be the U.S. Ambassador to Greece.
As stated previously- Garvin is a self serving power hungry actor.
You are absolutely right to not trust him. Many politicians have had a WOW epiphany moment when they saw what they called “orange man” win the big chair — again– even with a few million dead people voting.
Now it’s a race to see who can mimic him – who can play that part the best right up until the next election.
In the mean time… have we cleaned out those voter registrations for all the dead people and migrant tent people yet?
Did you know it’s now legal in California to register with NO mailing address. You can say you reside on the corner of Mission and 16th Streets, in the blue tent with a yellow top and a ballot will be delivered to you? Seriously!
Donald Trump says the US is “the best friend” Canada and the UK has ever had.
Maybe in the past. Now it’s like watching your ex best friend suffer with substance abuse
From your comments this seems to be a subject you have personal experience battling.When you get these feelings of angst,seek professional help.
I suppose that’s partly true… I mean Canada & the UK have their fair share of purple haired, pretzel brained, left wing nutjobs too.
They’re probably upset with the USA for abandoning all the worldwide, insane money giveaways for every perverted cause Socialist Democrat crazies can dream up.
Add Denmark to the list of former friends of the US.
Well Denmark can just go ahead & make new friends.
Russia & China are anxious to start up a relationship with them.
I’m sure that will make everyone happy.
Denmark never said they were not friends of the US, they just object to the tone in which this issue has been conducted. The Danish foreign minister said in a statement “We are open to criticism, but we object to the tone”. I’m reading Danish news sites almost every day, and the tone is always respectful, and it is always underlined that Denmark has been a friend to the US for many years and vice versa.
Denmark is not about to cozy up to dictators like Putin and Ping.
Oh,was your country milking the USA and got caught too?
Hanne Jeppesen,
.
President Trump and King Frederik of Denmark are 15th cousins. Even the majority of Greenlanders want independence from Denmark.
Since you’re into Greenlander polling, how about telling us whether the majority of Greenlanders want to join the US?
.
Why did you think nobody wanted the Vances come to Greenland yesterday.
JWB,
.
I never said that Greenlanders wanted to become part of the U.S., or that the U.S. should aquire Greenland. I simply stated that the majority of Greenlanders want independence from Denmark.
That might be but they don’t want to be part of the USA either.
Hanne Jeppesen,
.
I never claimed that Greenlanders wanted to be a part of the U.S.
.
As long as Denmark no longer wants a friendship with the U.S., that’s fine, maybe then Denmark can begin to protect their own territories, without the help of the United States, and realize how expensive military protection and security actually cost when they no longer have to depend on the help of their former friend, the United States of America.
Sorry TBK… we read your claim.
It was straight forward & easy to understand… but now the lefties are going to tell you what you REALLY said and meant.
Okay Jellyfinger I’m sure you want to point out where I said that TBK has said that Greenlanders want to be part of the U.S.?
.
BTW all I said because TBK obviously is an expert on Greenland polls that some might be also interested in the polling of Greenlanders wanting to be part of the U.S.
.
But I’ sure you want to tell e what I REALLY said and meant.
You do know we got New York from Denmark? New York was previously called New Amsterdam. I hardly think countries are “friends”, countries are corporations. It’s all about business. Democrats and their emotions
It’s funny the same people who believe Amsterdam is in Denmark, also believe 150 year old receive Social Security checks. Coincidence?
Maybe you should straighten out the people in your hood with this knowledge.Everyone since elementary school knows Amsterdam is in Holland.
Just so youre not confused,Holland is the Netherlands.Class dismissed.
We got New York from England.
And New Amsterdam was based on the Netherlands
I got Montezuma’s revenge from Mexico.
I never knew you spoke for the Danish Government. How cool for you!
Every country should do what they believe is in their own country’s best interests. If Denmark does not want to be a friend of the US, that is there choice.
If Denmark wants to make friends with other world powers because they believe they can negotiate more favorable terms, they should do so post haste.
I wish Denmark well in the future endeavors so long as they do not conflict with those of the USA.
Read my comment above Denmark never said they didn’t want to be friends with the US. It is Trump and Vance that don’t want Denmark as friends, if they did they would not constantly talk about taking over Greenland, and make unwelcome visits, such as Don Jr. and Vance and his wife and then proceed to trash talk Denmark. Trump is trying to silence anyone that is critical of him, why should he be surprised when the shoe is on the other foot?
Read my comment.
Every Country should do what is in their Country’s best interests, that includes the USA.
If another country, such as a minor world player like Denmark, doesn’t like it, they will either learn to live with it or move and form other allies.
That is the reality of politics.
How is Trump”trying to silence people”?give just one example.
That;s gotta be just awful having a president that you “think’ is going to be so harmful but unproven..now image if that actually happened for the last 4 years and is true…welcome to reality.Sound familiar anyone?You had no sympathy for those going thru what you imagine you’re going though or hope will happen just to ptove a point.You will gladly watch the country fall if you believe Trump has done it.
Hanne Jeppesen,
.
Has President Trump silenced you or attempted to silence you? In a different post you go on about how you and two “friends” have/had differing political views, but you don’t believe two countries with differing views can be “friends,” but are “former friends.” If the Danish Foreign Minister doesn’t like the “tone” that President Trump and Vice President Vance use in regards to Greenland, that’s his subjective opinion, and it’s just TOO BAD!!!
Hanne…. you aren’t going to go all Rosie O’ on us & go back to Denmark are you?
I know we don’t see eye to eye on politics but America is definitely a more interesting place with you in it (borrowed a Dr. Lecter quote).
Maybe you too should get a room,or maybe a rendezvous in Macy’s at lunchtime…….
You spelled “two” incorrectly.
Thanks for pointing that out,I had a stroke in December and have noticed that mistakes I would never make I am now doing.This has been awful,and has very weird side effects,
I can sympathize…. I had open heart surgery in November, the worst part was the meds making me kind of loopy and destroying my taste buds for awhile, but I’m pretty much recovered now. I hope you recover 100% as well.
No, I’m not going back to Denmark. I take your comment as a compliment, not sure if you are dead serious, or it’s a little tongue in cheek. In any case, I will much rather that people find me interesting than agreeing with me all the time. You can’t blame me for defending my country, and when I’m in Denmark I ALWAYS defend the US, even if I can’t back whoever is president 100 percent.
For the record one of my best friends for 35 years was a strong Trump supporter, unfortunately he passed away about 5 years ago, we had some heated discussions, but never let it interfere with our friendship. Another best friend for 55 years, is also a strong Trump supporter, he lives in Florida, so we mostly communicate by email.
Hanne Jeppesen,
.
So, if you were to go back to Denmark tomorrow you’d really defend everything that President Trump says, even about Greenland? That seems hard to believe.
Read my comment, I said I will defend the US, not any particular president, it’s not the same.
Hanne Jeppesen,
.
OK, then how would you “DEFEND” the United States under the leadership of President Trump and the U.S. government attempting to aquire Greenland? You only “DEFENDED” Denmark by PARROTING the position of King Fredrick, the words of the Danish Foreign Minister, a majority of the Danish people, and stating your own subjective opinion. How is that “DEFENDING,” but doing the opposite, as you said you do while in Denmark, isn’t “DEFENDING”?
Hanne Jeppesen,
.
After all, you stated “I ALWAYS defend the US, even if I can’t back whoever is president 100 percent.” It’s the position of President Trump and the Executive Branch of the United States of America to aquire Greenland. How would you “DEFEND” this U.S. policy objective, even though you don’t back President Trump 100% of the time? Or do you just have a different definition of “defend” for the USA than you do for Demark?
What part of Trump’s “America First” agenda puts Americans first? So far, this administration is raising prices, crushing 401Ks, taking a chainsaw to government jobs that doesn’t even put a dent in reducing the federal budget, pillaging our sensitive personal data, ending or threatening to slash aid programs that are critical in helping everyday Americans at home and abroad (Medicaid, USAID, snap, Social Security, Medicare, veterans affairs, etc), abandoning our allies in favor of our enemies, recklessly putting our military in danger, calling our military heroes traitors, threatening to take over Greenland, Canada and the Gaza strip for whatever dumb reason, circumventing due process, attacking federal judges, attacking minorities, attacking women, attacking LGBTQ+ community, attacking public schools, threatening political enemies, extorting law firms, extorting universities, threatening free speech and peaceful protests, playing golf 17 out of 67 days in office, pursuing tax cuts that unproportionately benefit the richest, the list goes on. So someone please name me one good thing this administration has done to help everyday Americans.
Get better math skills maybe.
PS-You forgot to mention one really bad thing happening.the sky is falling.
I’m a little concerned that a native African was given an important cabinet position and unlimited access to the President. But for now Elon seems to be doing a good job. And Trump done him any favors by cutting the emission standards that benefited sales of electric vehicles.
Luckily for us in California, we may see an end to smog tests and other restrictions. It’s also about time they ended car pool lanes. Give us back the roads we already paid for.

Toledo, Detroit, and Kokomo, Indiana.
As long as you get your news from a liberal news source, you will only hear what they want
you to hear, which is mostly lies, and misinformation. They hate Trump, so why would they report anything good about him? You are only hurting yourself by not getting the straight
facts. Trump is doing a terrific job, but you will have to open your mind, clear out any
animosity you may have for him, and get your news from an unbiased, reliable new source. One good news source it the C-SPAN website. https://www.c-span.org/

The latest is getting rid of Voice of America, which even many conservatives are upset about. I heard a conservative politician say that void will now be filled by China. Has Trump even listened carefully to what Voice of America was about and who could listen to it? Baffling to say the least.

That’s exactly right, Kyle. DOGE is stopping Social Security fraudulent payments going out to 150-year-olds.
They can label how they want,but In essense,stopping fraud literally stops over %50 of all SSI payouts.
The real recipients may wind up with a raise…if feasable,but now,as things were/are,it would be impossible until this is fixed.And certain life forms (I use use the term loosely) are mad about this being fixed.
Which never happened…
@concord Resident
Perhaps Musk was being facetious when he said 150 years old; however, DOGE found several million over the age of 120 collecting Social Security benefits, with several more millions to go through.
Cyn,
.
Social Security benefits are supposed to automatically stop once the age of a recipient reaches 115, at which point verification of life is required for benefits to be restarted. It’ll be interesting to see if the automatic stop and restart of benefits isn’t working, is being bypassed, or just being ignored.
Youre in denial that payouts are and have been made to people born in the 1800’s?Wait a year and all your fantasies WILL come true.
It turns out that most, if not all, of these Social Security “super-agers” are actually undocumented immigrants who have no intention of sticking around until they’re old enough to collect benefits. They simply find a source for unused SSANs so they can provide it to an employer. Social Security actually benefits, because these people pay Social Security taxes but will never collect any benefits.
So fraud is a crime. I’m sure DOGE is filing lawsuit against this fraud? Ooopsie, not a single case has been filed.
.
It is really just circus for the MAGA.
@JWB

Here is more from the circus:
“These data show that the federal government had spent $1.893 trillion in 2025 as of March 26, compared with $1.763 trillion as of the same date last year. In other words, federal spending is on pace to come in 7.4% higher this year than last.”

“The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public councils, have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have everywhere perished; as they continue to be the favorite and fruitful topics from which the adversaries to liberty derive their most specious declamations. “
–James Madison – Federalist #10
For those lefties who may be under the impression that “declamations” may refer to over-harvesting mollusks from a beach.
According to Webster it is:
Vehement oratory.
A speech marked by strong feeling; a tirade
I’m glad James Madison said “specious” instead of “fallacious” I would hate to have to explain what fallacious does not mean to those who might have the wrong impression.
In context, Madison’s “specious declamations” declare that arguments may sound convincing but are ultimately misleading.
He is saying that opponents of liberty will frequently use the problems of instability, injustice, and confusion in government as their most effective yet misleading arguments against democracy.
I agree with your explanation of Madison’s declamations. I’ll remember them every time that a Dem yaps about “protecting democracy”. Other Dem arguments that sound convincing but are misleading (or actually wrong) are: just about anything regarding Covid (it was caused by pangolins, it was natural, we have to shut everything down, masks work, the vaccine is necessary or we all die, etc.), Biden is healthy and sane and sharp as a tack, Trump is a Russian agent, Kamala speaks eloquently and is not impaired, reduced sentencing and lax policing will result in lower crime, Elon is the best thing since sliced bread until he isn’t and now he is just “The world’s richest unelected bureaucrat” and must die, and on and on and on…..
So many misleading arguments and outright lies by the party that you support. Maybe Dems will finally learn that telling the truth is a better way to win elections than trying to scare or buy off potential voters.
And MDUSD teacher is why our kids and grandkids did not go to public school.
Yeah, that makes sense because I have the students figure things out for themselves rather than telling them what to think. People hate that.
Thanks for the laugh Teach! You cannot even figure out how to answer simple questions on the constitution, so there is no way you can teach them to think. Sorry .. the evidence is all over Claycord; your rambling, assumptions, misinformation and flat out lies. Instead of answering questions, you insult or insinuate that we are below you.
This week, you drop a quote. No context, nothing … and 36 hours later you come back with minimal input on two words of Madison’s speech.
But lets talk about what he was really saying. You have inferred ‘democracy’ but others suggest that the deceptive arguments approach used by individuals who oppose a strong governement are suggesting it would lead to suppression of liberty. But maybe liberty and democracy are not the same thing. Yes, a democratic society, you are entitled some liberties but isnt also the case that you may not be allowed all the liberty you want in a democracy? For example, I want the liberty to drive as fast as I want, but we have laws that make that illegal.
Now your definition/words popped up in AI overview, ooo, you didn’t use AI to interpert Madison’s quote did you?
Madison advocated for seperation of powers, checks and balances and more. Part of his argument is that as long as one faction is easily in control, we can protect our minority groups, our checks/balances, seperation of powers, etc.
I am happy to discuss this topic if you will respond, but if history repeats, you will ignore this, again.

The concept is pretty simple if you just give it a moment of thought before you speak.

Gavin Newsom makes further moves to make living in California even harder by taxing solar he convinced people to get.
Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration, through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), is proposing to break existing solar contracts, slash solar credits, and potentially impose a new “solar tax” on homeowners who installed solar panels before April 2023, aiming to address rising electricity costs.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
The Proposal:
The CPUC, at the request of Governor Newsom, is proposing changes to the Net Energy Metering (NEM1 and NEM2) agreements, which guarantee homeowners a certain level of compensation for excess energy sent back to the grid.
Impact on Solar Customers:
These changes would affect nearly two million solar customers who installed panels before April 2023, potentially reducing their solar credits and introducing a new “solar tax”.
Justification:
The CPUC argues that these changes are necessary to address rising electricity costs and ensure that all customers are paying their fair share of grid maintenance costs.
Concerns:
Critics argue that the proposal undermines the financial benefits homeowners relied on when investing in solar and raises concerns about fairness and consumer trust.
Background:
The CPUC’s proposal comes in response to Governor Newsom’s request for the agency to find ways to reduce electricity costs statewide.
Future Action:

History Lesson on Your Social Security Card
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (and some older ones) didn’t know this.
It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family
and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.
Social Security
Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the
message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION was removed.
An old Social Security card with the “NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION”message.
Our Social Security
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
1) That participation in the Program would be
completely voluntary,
No longer Voluntary
2) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
incomes into the Program,
Now 7.65%
On the first $90,000.
3) That the money the participants elected to put into the program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible
4) That the money the participants put in went to the Independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the General Operating Fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent.
5) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed.
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away — you may be interested in the following:
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —-
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratically controlled House and Senate.
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —–
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— –
Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?
(AND MY FAVORITE):
A: That’s right!
Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
———— — ———— ——— —– ———— ——— ———
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve.
Do immigrants who have never paid into social security receive social security payments after age 65?
.
In the United States, Social Security benefits are primarily tied to an individual’s work history and contributions through payroll taxes. Immigrants who have never paid into Social Security—meaning they haven’t worked in jobs where Social Security taxes were deducted—generally do not qualify for Social Security retirement benefits based on their own earnings record. However, there are some nuances and exceptions depending on their status and circumstances:
So, the short answer is: Immigrants who have never paid into Social Security typically don’t receive Social Security retirement payments after age 65 based on their own record. They might still get benefits through a spouse, survivor status, or SSI under specific conditions, but not as a direct result of their own contributions if none were made. Misinformation often circulates about this topic, but eligibility is strictly regulated by the Social Security Administration.
So your post explains that they actually collect SSI much earlier than 65. Thanks for playing. That’s it right there “Needs based” BINGO. How dare you pretend illegals aren’t draining our tax dollars.
California officials are moving forward with a costly multi-hundred million dollar renovation to the San Quentin State Prison that seeks to transform the penitentiary into a Scandinavian-style “rehab center” featuring amenities including food trucks and a podcast studio.
The remodeling is expected to cost taxpayers about $239 million, and prisoners at the facility will be able to enjoy things like an on-site café, grocery store, television production studio, and more, according to the Chronicle. California announced in 2023 that the state would be transforming the notorious prison into the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center “with the goal to bring transformational programmatic, cultural and physical change that can serve as a symbol of hope and change.”
First gas chamber was dismantled,
In 2011 convicted felons started being released in sizable numbers.
Three prisons have been closed.
When Q is eventually closed, instant homeless housing.
Trumpfation is just horrible. Just ask Elon, $26M doesn’t even buy you a supreme court judge in Wisconsin any longer.
And $1.5 Billion doesn’t buy you the presidency. Are you trying to gloat, or make a point?
No matter how much you cry it wont change there never being another Democrat potus in anyones lifetime thats commenting here.You’ve been spinning your wheels anytime and everytime you try to interject,just to vent,but much like any protest which is what your comments’ are a form of,no protest in history has ever had any positive results for the protesters..meaning those that do actively protest are either paid fakes or mental patients looking for new venue to vent at.You are one or the other or both
Whats even more funny is when democrats make negative comments about Trumo to Republicans,as if they hope that these people laughing at them will suddenly”see the error in their choices and beome brain dead and vote democrats.The trivia they mention that they think will make people”dump Trump” is stuff nobody,not even they care about or will ever effect the legal American resident in anyway
How is that day of liberation going?

Here is what Republicans think about it.

Becerra is throwing his hat in the ring to run for California Governor.
That’s the guy that spends most of his time suing nuns.
It seems he wants everyone to get their hands dirty in the abortion process.
He also expects all of us to pay for it.
The guy has problems.
He went from being attorney general to the top health offical..are these jobs interchangable?As long as youre not a white male you can do any important job for California youre not qualified for and. have no experience doing,per Newscum.
That Becerra sure seems to hate Christians.
Must be something from his childhood.
Musk will be done with DOGE in May.

Elon’s announcement . . . . .
Wonderful day, many who shorted Tesla stock had their heads handed them.
As stock price shot up they were forced to buy back shorted shares at any price.
Trading volume was 211,000,000 shares, 218 times normal daily volume.
.
How fast will those paying and pulling strings crawl back under their rocks ?
Protests, arson, gunfire and assaults, how quickly will they vanish, when money
dries up ?
And once again OG falls for some meme email.
.
The trading volume for Tesla shares over last couple of days has been around about 150M shares and if you look for the lowest volume the entire year to date it was 45,965,400 on February 20, 2025.
The normal daily volume is nowhere a low as 1/218th of 211M which would be less than 1M.
.
Given that this is so easy to verify I think it’s fair to assume the rest is BS too.

It’s gonna be a fun couple of days, couple hours ago DJIA Futures was down
over one thousand points. Cable news talking heads and websites had their
knickers wound so tight was cutting off blood flow. 401k suffered massive losses.
WRONG, only numbers on a statement or computer screen, it’s Hysterical clickbait.
.
Value of a 401k is when you cash out and roll it over. Low stock prices now means
stocks just went on sale. Low prices means your monthly contribution buys
more shares and when stock goes back up your 401k gain is greater.
There’s a better way to explain that last sentence, just can’t think of it right now.
Memory is causing me concern, these days.

Trust President Trump much, much more than any career politician from the swamp.
My opinion, his tariff play is a smart bargaining starter for most countries. For some
like venezula, Buh-bye moderno
.
Trump hands down is such an improvement over that invertebrate
community organizer the world laughed at. At this point we need
a business man running our country.

I’ll take ‘The Art of The Deal’ over the ‘Groveller-in-Chief’
