The State of California must borrow $3.44 billion dollars to cover a shortfall in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medcaid program — a year after expanding it to offer free health care to illegal aliens. As Breitbart News reported at the time: “Beginning January 1, 2024, illegal aliens residing in California will become eligible for taxpayer-funded health insurance — the first state in the nation to enact such a policy.” Governor Gavin Newsom had boasted of the budget agreement that made such a dramatic offer possible: “With these new investments [sic], California will become the first state to achieve universal access to health care coverage,

But who will pick the avocados? s/o So when you throw in all the freebies for the illegals (housing, phones, medical, schools, clothing, food etc. etc. etc.) each avocados ends up costing $2300 each. I don't like avocados, I don't like Mexican food period, none of it. So I am not really concerned about avocados. But seriously enough is enough. Go home. When my husband and I lost our work insurance because of obamacare we didn't get any assistance. Obamacare was going to cost us $1600 a month with a deductible of $18,000 a year before anything would be considered for coverage. We paid for everything out of our own pocket and got taxed by the government because we did not "contribute our fair share".

as i understanding it is that increasing medi-cal expenditures is mostly being paid for by tweaking matching payments (75% to 90%) out of the fed gov through the accounting tricks outlined in the following: https://issuesinsights.com/2025/03/07/dems-fight-to-protect-a-600-bil-medicaid-tax-scam-that-joe-biden-tried-to-kill/ the article further states that these incremental funds are not required to be spent on health care expenses

Houston police are being instructed to call federal immigration authorities if they come across an individual who has deportation orders listed in the national crime database. The new guidance to law enforcement in Texas’ largest city comes after the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials added 700,000 individuals with deportation orders to the National Crime Information Center database, which is used widely by local law enforcement across the country to track warrants, missing persons, stolen property and other criminal records. There are more than 1.4 million people with active deportation orders across the country. ICE’s inclusion of deportation orders broadens the ability for local law enforcement to identify undocumented immigrants.

AB 1333 is Dead: Assemblyman Zbur Withdraws

ssemblyman Rick Zbur (D-Los Angeles) announced late on Wednesday that he would be withdrawing his new self-defense limitation bill following significant public backlash and confusing language in the bill. Assembly Bill 1333, which was introduced last month, would have eliminated certain circumstances under which homicide is justifiable, including, among others, in defense of a habitation or property. Zbur said that AB 1333 would simply close a “legal loophole” over public confrontations and then claiming self-defense. However, AB 1333 instead sparking public outrage.“This bill is a complete assault on self defense!” said Assemblyman Tom Lackey (R-Palmdale) last month.

The U.S. Navy has used more missiles for air defense since combat operations in the Red Sea began in October 2023 than the service used in all the years since Operation Desert Storm in the 1990s, said retired Navy Cmdr. Bryan Clark, of the Hudson Institute. Over that 15-month-period, which ran to Jan. 19, 2025, the Navy saw the most combat at sea since World War II. “It’s kind of amazing how the Navy has held up with no losses, but the cost has been pretty enormous,” Clark said. “The estimates are the Navy has used up $1 billion-plus worth of interceptors to shoot down these drone and missile threats.”

Officials in New York City have indicated they will ignore an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer placed on the illegal immigrant who allegedly burned a woman alive on the subway, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Wednesday. Noem visited the Coney Island subway station where Sebastian Zapeta, 33, allegedly set Debrina Kawam on fire while she was sleeping in a subway car. Noem said New York officials weren’t cooperating with ICE. “ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the NYC Department of Corrections to take this depraved alien into custody. Because of current sanctuary city policy, the corrections department has indicated it will NOT honor the detainer,”

In virtually every election for almost a half-century, aspiring leaders in Greenland have promised to seek independence from Denmark. And following every election, it hasn’t happened. But this year, with US President Donald Trump loudly proclaiming his ardor and Denmark reaffirming the importance of its ties to the Arctic island, independence has catapulted to the top of the agenda. Candidates campaigning for the March 11 election are being forced to take a position on the matter—all the leading ones are in favor of a split—and voters want them to lay out a vision of what that might actually look like and when it could happen. “Suddenly, there’s a huge independence movement,”

Congressional Republicans must really be feeling their oats, and it is long past the time they did. No one thought Speaker Johnson would manage to get a budget resolution through and that the Senate had one-upped up with theirs, even though Trump preferred the House version. What got lost in all the budget excitement was a bill Republicans had previously introduced. As presented by Rep Troy E. Nehls (R-TX-22), the beautifully named Endowment Tax Fairness Act would raise the tax on the endowments of private schools that were sitting on cash hoards of $500K per student or more from 1.4% to 21%.

When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) went to the steakhouse at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C. Monday night to dine with (alleged) lobbyists he was a little too loose-lipped, and sadly for him conservative journalist Nick Sortor was seated at the table next to him and heard it all. In fact, Sortor says Swalwell "invaded" his table while he was "inebriated at dinner," and promised a video recap. Sortor says he has audio of the conversation, but he hasn't yet released it. (Presumably, he's getting legal advice) He did, however, release a summary of what Swalwell said and a video of him confronting Swalwell as the group exited the restaurant.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) spent millions of American taxpayer dollars propping up pet projects like dog collar manufacturing and pickle making in Ukraine and then spent months stonewalling members of Congress about that spending, according to findings obtained by The Federalist. Sen. Joni Ernst’s staff uncovered the secret slush funds when, after months of enduring the agency’s excuses to justify its resistance to oversight, they were finally permitted access to “very limited data.” In October 2024, as Ernst has since detailed, the senator’s staff visited USAID headquarters in person for an “in-camera review” of Ukraine assistance data even though, her team discovered, the documents were not classified.

Republican Florida Sens.

Titled Consolidating Aerospace Programs Efficiently at Canaveral (CAPE Canaveral) Act, the legislation would relocate the NASA headquarters to Florida’s Space Coast in Brevard County. The region houses the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Scott’s office called Florida “a common sense choice” for the new headquarters. “There’s no better place for NASA’s headquarters than Florida’s Space Coast, where our nation’s brightest minds innovate and help America reach for the stars,” Scott said in a statement.

The Return to Office (RTO) mandate has been postponed until further notice, union leaders said Wednesday.

Clinton-appointed Judge Richard Young has ordered the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) to provide sex change surgery for a “transgender” inmate who murdered a baby. The inmate, Jonathan Richardson, who now goes by “Autumn Cordellioné,” is in prison for the reckless homicide of a baby. Richardson was convicted in 2001 for strangling his then-wife’s 11-month-old daughter to death. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed the lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Corrections seeking a sex change on behalf of Richardson in 2023, three years after the baby-killer decided to begin identifying as a woman. Currently, there is a law in Indiana banning taxpayer-funded sex change procedures for inmates.
