This is so insane😭😭😭

You mean, before inventing internet commerce, or creating the EV market, or making space flight affordable and abundant, or enabling global internet access, or developing technology that allows paralyzed people to interact with the world? You ignorant, hateful shrew

Pretty exciting to know that my godson is now a multimillionaire thanks to @elonmusk and @SpaceX . A kid from SoCal who went to a state school, got an engineering degree, interned at SpaceX and then got hired on full time. So happy for him and his family.

Oakland population is ~440k so this is 1/2 stolen vehicle alerts per capita. Incredible.

No one should be surprised that there is a deadly rat disease in Berkeley. I shot this 2 weeks ago — I’ve never seen so many RVs there, yet the Chronicle article doesn’t pinpoint this as the reason. 🎁 link: sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti…

Oof! This could impact medical care in Northern California.

@CivilRights finds UC Davis Med School’s deliberate use of race “proxies” in admissions illegal & shocking. Despite lower average GPA & MCAT scores, black or Hispanic admission rates were 2-9x higher than whites or Asians. Future doctors must be chosen based on skill, not race! justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

Everyone needs to relax. New England would never send a man with an alcohol problem and a history of abusing women to the United States Senate.

I lol'd. On FB marketplace. Guess the algo coordinates with X feed?

Honestly, all Platner shows is that progressives don’t really care about Donald Trump’s behavior, they’re just jealous he’s not on their side.

In about 10 min @SteveHiltonx will be talking live with @AandGShow . Can listen on iHeart radio app. KSTE 650

Since the H1 B visa scam / fake degree story is in the news I have to weigh in as I have been commenting on this for many many moons. Full disclosure- I am an American of Indian origin and came to the US in 1991 to go a top graduate school for a double masters in engineering and then used the H1 B visa to work and then got a green card and became a citizen in 2000. Back then the scrutiny for a H1 B visa was much stronger and the misuse was minimal. That said my allegiance is to USA alone and zero to India - I broke of all allegiance. Visas / immigration should be for the benefit of Americans only and I don’t care what happens to any Indian. Like with any political issue there is nuance. Not every Indian degree is fake. There are the top tier of Indian universities which are among the most competitive on earth. The admission rate is between .01 to 1% which means 1/1000 to 1/100 who apply get in. Here are some names Indian Institute of Technology - many campuses Delhi college of engineering Indian institute of science University of Delhi This is not a comprehensive list. The top graduates from here then take the TOEFL and GRE and get into top graduate schools in America for masters / PhD programs and then apply for a H1 B and enter the American workforce. That was the path I and many of my friends took. You can’t buy these degrees and the kinds of high profile jobs we have if we didn’t know what we were doing it would become self evident and the market would not pay very high incomes for no work. Now since Y2 K and then as more and more work was in IT / remote work the Indian scam culture took over. Indian body shops set up shop in the US and started hiring people from lower level universities which do not have the same standards and these are the fake degrees being sold in India. There are elaborate scams to get these people hired on fraud resumes and often the real work is done by people in India and the H1 B visa employee in the US is a front for a total scam. This is now spreading to non tech fields like medicine as well. Especially in southern India universities came been created in the last few years just to sell fake degrees and cash in on this scam. Sadly this has become the majority of the H1 B visa and 100% needs to be dismantled and overhauled. The nuance I want to remind people of is this - if the Indian in question went to a top school in India and a top grad school in the US that is NOT a person that came on fraudulent credentials. You can’t buy a fake masters degree from MIT or Stanford or UT Austin for example. The scam is people who don’t go to school in America and went to a lower tier / dubious school in India and work in an Indian dominated field or company / remote work. This species who is here based on fraud needs to be deported and banned from ever working in America ever. And the H1 B is the tip of the iceberg. The inter company visa L1 is massively misused and doesn’t get the same level of scrutiny and has no caps. ANY non visitor visa should be issued based on the interest of the USA alone. Any applicant who uses fraud in their application should be banned for life from every studying / working in the USA. The even bigger problem is the lack of assimilation by people of Indian origin which is my real pet peeve.

Trump failed! He could have let the Dem ban on Tiktok persist and we’d all be in a better place.

California's going to have over 9.4 million primary votes cast for governor in 2026. That's about 35% more than both 2018 and 2022. Those two midterm years were similar. This despite the fact that the state's lost about 1.5 to 2 million citizens since 2018, mostly but not entirely replaced by immigrants and migrants. It's trivially easy to register to vote in the state with little to no documentation. And the state will then mail out ballots to you without hesitation. Automatically. Fair to say that if you're a noncitizen, you're much more likely to just turn in the ballot if you receive it unsolicited in the mail than if you have to ask for one. It's quite obvious what's happened from 2022 to 2026, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. No, the citizen population didn't just suddenly became hyper-engaged in primary politics. No, they weren't desperately worried that Steyer or Becerra would be locked out of the governorship to two Republicans. All this starts with how easy it has become for anyone, literally anyone, to get a ballot. And continues with that ballot just requiring a signature that might not be verified. And finishes with massive ballot harvesting up till 8 pm Election Day. With the postscript that they can "arrive" somewhere 7 days post election day and be counted in some way 13 to 30 days after election day.

Sorry to see Measure ER squeezing out a win in LA County. It'll raise $5 billion for special interests (like unions) and to continue giving undocumented immigrants free health care. Thank goodness we were able to stop a similar measure in Contra Costa.

Steve Hilton giving a press conference in LA right now. One of his main points is to emphasize that there is a proposition on the ballot in November to require VOTER ID to vote in CA. This needs to pass.

Los Angeles County’s new 0.50% sales tax passed because of late-counted and late-arriving ballots. It was supported by the very powerful SEIU. County plans to use the funds to pay for healthcare, which is where many SEIU employees are employed. Ballot harvesting to the very last minute is legal in California and Los Angeles, and every “registered voter” receives a ballot. SEIU had the motivation to get this measure passed. It had the means. And it had the ability, since it’s just one county (with most of the population concentrated in one area). You do the math on what happened.

REPOST THIS PLEASE!!! California did not tell me they rejected my ballot. They also rejected my wife's ballot I have discovered. They claim it is a bad signature on both. Go to california.ballottrax.net/ and verify they accepted your ballot.
