California is a beautiful place. But it has had horrible leadership in the Democratic Party for years, from folks like LA Mayor Karen Bass to Gov. Gavin Newsom. Instead of being concerned about things he should be focused on in the Golden State, he's already spending a lot of his time gearing up for a run for president in 2028, doing things like attacking his likely competition in Vice President JD Vance. Having such leadership has made it hard for the people who have had to live there and deal with things like the Pacific Palisades fires or the crime in Los Angeles.

Well, to be honest? In my state, with four gigantic urban areas, we have some nightmarish places too. From all I have heard and read, Franklin is an amazing and lively bright cherry red spot for those new headquarters! Go In and Out Burgers. I wish you much success !!

The article is a bit unclear. They are opening an outlet in Tennessee next year, and she says then will close their Irvine (CA) headquarters and consolidate it into their Baldwin Park (CA) headquarters. She may be having a home in TN. Sounds as though she'd like to live there.

It's hard for me to imagine Newsom as a Presidential candidate. If it comes to pass it will seal the assumption that Democrats would vote for a pile of horse dung with a D posted on it.

Geez, when you're a billionaire how can raising a family ANYWHERE not be easy? Lynsi is an interesting character: 3 ex-husbands, recovered drug addict, born-again Christian, helicopter pilot, drag racer, and smart businesswoman who took her first job with the company as a teenager, working anonymously behind the counter at one of the stores. Glad to hear her say that expansion is based on warehouse availability in order to keep everything fresh. Oh, and Kalifornia was a difficult state in which to do business long before Brylcreem became governor.

#5 gets it. ynsi did not found the company. She fell into it and became a very wealthy woman. The state government notwithstanding In-N-Out was a gold mine and Californians made trhat happen. There are three outlets near our home and all three have long double lines at almost any hour of the day or night on any day of the week. Plus hundreds of walkup customers. My now-adult grandchildren do not visit here from Northern California without stopping for In-N-Out at an outlet on the way out of our valley. The loyalty factor is huge and in the restaurant business loyalty is priceless. She'll find out.

Franklin TN is in a very deep red county just south of Nashville which is in Davidson Co. Williamson along with just about every other county around Nashville Davidson Co are red Trump country and very business friendly. They will fit in well here. So many other companies have moved out of CA and the NE to Tennessee. We used to live in Nashville but their string of commie mayors (they are on #3 or 4 in a row now) along with a more and more progressive city council have and are causing all sorts of issues. Nashville for as long I remember had tended to choose more business friendly moderate old school Democrats for mayors but not anymore. We moved North several years back to a nice old country town with lots of history, charm, and a no nonsense view of crime plus up here (unlike Franklin) we have a lake.

I visited Franklin some years ago. Very nice town. We had gone to tour the battlefield which was a disastrous loss for the Confederacy. We Lost Patrick Cleburne, one of the best generals the South had along with four others. The museum is also well worth a visit. The town has attracted some wealthy people and entertainers who don't want to live in Nashville. I can see why she would want to live there.

They're opening the TN store and eventually moving the whole operation to TN. The Irvine HQ will close by 2030 to give a long lead time for those executives and families to get their affairs in order. She's not the only rich person to leave the state of CA where they're broke due to massive number of government employees obtaining higher than market salaries, benefits and a pension most would die for. They essentially bribed workers with the salaries and pension to ensure they voted Democrat. They aren't able to fix the problem because it would upset one group or another of their coalition. The ONLY reason many middle class are able to stay is Prop.13 holding property taxes to a fixed number (1% of the purchase price of your home with only 2% increase per year allowed) which prevents being taxed out of your home when you're on the fixed income.

Democratic lawmakers decried it as the “Big, Ugly Bill,” but some members of the minority party are beginning to praise — and even take credit — for various provisions within President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Communities across the country stand to gain billions of dollars in federal funding from the president’s sweeping tax relief and immigration law that Trump signed on July 4. Several congressional Democrats are beginning to claim responsibility for provisions they deem beneficial to their constituents despite fiercely opposing the bill during its passage.

An illegal immigrant charged in a woman’s grisly death in Waukegan, Illinois, and who was set free is in custody again. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents nabbed the illegal, identified as Mexican native 52-year-old Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, in Chicago on Saturday, Fox News reported.

Scottie Scheffler shaped spectacular shots, calmly caressing rugged Royal Portrush Golf Club’s Dunluce Links for a final round 3-under 68 on Sunday to win his first British Open title. Scheffler, who carried a 4-stroke advantage into the final round, nearly pushed that lead into double digits, with five birdies and one bogey over his last 18 holes. “It’s a pretty special feeling,” Scheffler said on the NBC broadcast. “It was a tough week. I battled hard all weekend. Today, again, was a battle. I played some really good golf and I’m fortunate to be holding the trophy.”

A man in Cincinnati, Ohio, is accused of making violent threats against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and a federal official online. The suspect is identified as Anthony Kelly, whom federal authorities recently took into custody, Fox News reported Saturday. In a social media post, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared screenshots of posts Kelly allegedly made. In one, it appears he wrote, “Thanks for giving We The People permission to shoot your #Gestapedos #TomHoman.” In another post, he appeared to threaten DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: [Tweet]

An Indian woman visiting the U.S. was caught shoplifting over $1,300 worth of merchandise from a Target store in Illinois. Security footage captured her pleading with police, insisting she “accidentally” left without paying. The incident has prompted the U.S. Embassy in India to issue a warning: Indian nationals who commit crimes in the U.S. risk having their American visas revoked. "Committing assault, theft, or burglary in the United States won’t just cause you legal issues – it could lead to your visa being revoked and make you ineligible for future U.S. visas," U.S. Embassy India said in a new statement.

Former Immigration and Customer Enforcement (ICE) agents are being offered a significant incentive to come back to work. Many agents who left the agency after becoming demoralized during the Biden years could now earn themselves $50,000 if they return to their former roles. In an email obtained by The New York Post dubbed Operation Return to Service, agency officials urged their former employees to come back and thanked them for their previous service. “Due to the prior administration’s disastrous immigration policies, the men and women of ICE now face unprecedented challenges,” the email reads. “Your experience and unwavering commitment are critically needed to secure our communities and uphold our laws.”

An off-duty Border Patrol agent was shot in the face after being robbed by a moped-riding illegal immigrant in a New York City park — but he shot back and wounded his attacker, according to sources. The suspect has been identified as Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, a 21-year-old Dominican national with a lengthy rap sheet in New York as well as a deportation order, according to sources — but he was let go each time he was busted. Mora entered the US illegally via the southern border under the Biden admin, the Department of Homeland Security said Sunday.

The Trump administration has officially shut the door on former President Joe Biden’s hand-me-downs, putting an end to his controversial SAVE student loan scheme. As a result, it denied 460,000 borrowers access to what critics called an unsustainable handout. The move marks a return to fiscal responsibility, as the Department of Education aims to end student loan forgiveness and restore accountability, rather than providing blanket handouts. According to an internal document from the Department of Education, approximately 460,000 federal student loan borrowers have been denied access to lower monthly payments through income-driven repayment (IDR) plans. The denial follows a sweeping overhaul of the department under the Trump administration,

A new poll suggested that democratic socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s sheen may already be wearing off among voters. Mamdani’s support appears to have dropped 14 percentage points from less than a week ago, based on a previous poll, while Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa’s surged 12 percent. Mamdani shocked the political world by winning the Democratic primary, defeating former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He now faces Sliwa and Cuomo, as well as current New York City Mayor Eric Adams, in the general election. Cuomo and Adams are both running as independents, assuming they each decide to stay in the race.

Former President Joe Biden was “sharp as a tack,” “as sharp as ever,” and the “best” version of himself “ever” while in office — until he wasn’t. After months of claiming Biden was perfectly competent to not only remain in office but run for reelection, Democrats ousted Biden(snip). But just because Biden may have stepped out of the spotlight doesn’t mean the American people have forgotten that there was a mentally incapacitated president ‘running’ the show.That’s why Republicans have called in several Biden White House aides to get to the bottom of what really went down.

Federal judge James Boasberg advised Chief Justice John Roberts and some two dozen other judges that his D.C. colleagues were “concern[ed] that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis,” according to a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist. That Judge Boasberg and his fellow D.C. District Court judges would discuss how a named Defendant in numerous pending lawsuits might respond to an adverse ruling is shocking. Equally outrageous is those judges’ clear disregard for the presumption of regularity — a presumption that requires a court to presume public officials properly discharged their official duties.
