During the past 6-8 years, a clear message has gone out to criminals in and around the state of CA: Come commit your crimes here; we won’t prosecute you. Criminals heard that message and set up their enterprises here. The violence and chaos in CA is a direct result of a consistent dedication by Newsom, Gascon, Bass, and others to not enforce the laws in this state. The apathy of the CA politicians regarding what is illegal here is what has increased the “violence and chaos” in CA. I’m grateful we elected @NathanHochmanDA to replace Gascon as DA to enforce our laws, but more like him are needed in CA to replace those in office who insist on encouraging the destruction of CA.

.@RickChavezZbur, this is quite irrational. You desire to make it illegal to defend one’s home, and also to defend oneself. Can you please tell us why you would introduce something so baffling and damaging to the law-aboding, tax-paying citizens of California.

I’m glad for the crews on these Apple+ and Disney projects that were able to qualify for the recent CA tax credit. However, I can’t think of two production companies that have less of a need to get an over $43m “break” each. You know who is not benefitting at all from these CA tax incentives? The independent filmmakers who are trying to bring fresh, new, non-woke work to an audience that’s tired of offerings from the bigger companies. This is why I’d like to see federal film grants made available for independent filmmakers who want to make non-woke films. And keep the work in the US. Let’s make it happen. @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @VP @jonvoight @TheSlyStallone #melgibson

LOL. I know you mean well here, but most of my accomplishments have been since the age of 50. I've done much more in my 50's than I ever did before that. After 50: - I graduated from UCLA with a computer science and digital media management degree (started as a freshman at 46). - Published two books, "FAME: The Hijacking of Reality," and "FACE: One Square Foot of Skin." - Directed two film shorts (FIVE MINUTES and PUSH) and three feature films (LOOK, FEEL, and VIOLET). - Started a non-AI film festival, the CREDO 23 Film Festival. (CREDO23FilmFest.com for passes.) I'm currently writing two new books and casting for my new film. Acting ended for me years ago when my writing, directing, producing career took off. And I've just barely begun what I was born for, so this is the beginning for me. What I do in the future will eclipse everything I've already done. Life is long. There is a lot around the corner.

Stop resurrecting these dead films and series and board games and toys. The living need to have their own ideas emerge as films and series. Stop pulling bodies out of the cemetery. The audience doesn’t want this. The audience wants The New and they deserve films in THIS time.
