California, today is the last day to register to vote.
This is your chance to help save our state. Every vote counts and yours matters.
Let’s do this. Vote.org
What does it actually take to go undercover to rescue a child? Tim Ballard spent more than a decade as a Homeland Security Special Agent investigating human trafficking. In this episode of Kids for Sale, he shares what undercover rescue operations can involve and why the work is unlike anything most people imagine. Full episode Wednesday on Politically Basic. @TimBallard

Woman who escaped communism and is now living in America is begging Americans not to vote Democrat during midterms
“I'm here on a visa. It's election time here in the US. Elections are coming up. It's midterms. I cannot sit here and stress enough how truly the left crumbles a nation, crumbles an economy, crumbles your lifestyle, crumbles your mental health. I lived in Canada for the first 27 years of my life. I sat there and watched my homeland crumble under the liberals, the Democrats, The left. And it's really sad. It's really, really sad and it's really heartbreaking”
“I didn't want to grow up thinking that I would have to find a way out because life over there was so horrible. Drowning in taxes. Everything is so expensive, you know. Oh, free healthcare, blah blah blah.
No, nothing in life is free — a lot of people pay over 50% in taxes”
“I am very thankful I have a visa and I live in the US now. And life over here is much better. I can afford to buy groceries. I can afford my housing. I can afford gas. I can afford my insurance. I can afford a life. You do not, you do not, you do not want to be under a communist nation”
She also talks about how it’s like a 9 month wait just to see a specialist doctor. For something like an eye problem, she says the wait was about a year and a half
“It's honestly unbelievable. Life in the US is way better than life in Canada. Life in Canada is absolutely horrible. There is a reason why a lot of people are leaving Canada. Do not let that same mentality get into power in the US. I swear it's not good. It's not good”
Americans need to understand how serious this is, here are the average wait time for doctors in Canada under universal healthcare
- Neurosurgery 49.9 weeks (nearly 1 year)
- Orthopaedic surgery 48.6 weeks
- Otolaryngology 43.8 weeks
- Overall elective specialist treatment is 7 months or longe. In some provinces it’s over 14 months
- Oral surgery is 16 weeks
- ENT, gynaecology and orthopaedics is over 1 year
- Rheumatology roughly 3 months
Of course Canada isn’t communist but many people call it communist because of the universal healthcare and extremely government policies. It’s actually a federal constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy
We can’t allow Democrats to get power
Yes!!!! There has always been a realistic and easily achievable plan to do this!! @CAdemocrats and @CAgovernor don’t want to let go of the money so they refuse to help people trapped in homelessness..a disgusting disgrace!! @SteveHiltonx will get it done! Rescue the people, rescue California!!
California Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton unveiled a plan Saturday to clear every homeless encampment in the state by the end of 2027, proposing a network of recovery centers, stricter enforcement of public camping bans and state intervention in communities that fail to act. ktla.com/news/california-pol…
What if safer communities became the standard, not the exception?
Michael Gates points to his decade in Huntington Beach as proof that leadership matters and law and order can make a difference. His message to California? Stop accepting dysfunction as inevitable.
We’re so thankful to @MichaelGatesESQ for joining us this week on PB to share his perspective on California’s future!
The countdown to November 3 is ON. Your voice matters. Make a plan, show up, and VOTE! 🗳️
What happens if California gets four more years of the same leadership? Gates says this race is about more than winning an election. It’s about whether the state will finally use the constitutional authority it already has to enforce the law.
Rob Bonta as AG is a nightmare no matter who is governor. We have to vote @MichaelGatesESQ & @SteveHiltonx in! JUST TRY IT!
LA is a TOTAL CESSPOOL!!! No one cares about the safety of children, animals, neighbors, good people just trying to survive being a Californian under Newsom, Bass and @CAdemocrats This is how they operate in an ELECTION YEAR!!! 🤯🤯We need HELP!! We desperately need @SteveHiltonx
SHOCKING: This tunnel in LA was built so kids could cross the street to school. It’s now filled with drug needles and human waste.
Juan cleaned it up himself. But three months later, the squalor is back and WORSE than before.
He’s doing the job we pay the highest taxes in America to get done, while useless politicians let our streets ROT. That end when I’m governor.
Clean Streets by the 2028 Olympics.
Gates says trafficking would move to the top of the priority list. More resources. More investigations. More prosecutions. Less press conference, more police work. California has tried the first part. He says it is time for the second. @MichaelGatesESQ
A task force website is not the same thing as putting traffickers behind bars. California needs more than headlines and case counts. It needs investigations, prosecutions, and consequences. Because at the end of the day, it’s about the kids, not the headlines. Protecting children should be the priority, not a talking point. Radical idea, apparently.
Dr. Jeff Myers from Summit Ministries just dropped the clearest breakdown of why socialism is the opposite of Christian values. He laid out five core arguments against it in one easy to remember sentence that every young believer needs to hear. Socialism promises fairness and compassion but delivers control, scarcity, and the opposite of what God designed us for. @drjeffmyers
Gates is not talking about someday. He is talking about day one. He says he would drop the lawsuits against hospitals and pursue criminal action against anyone he believes is unlawfully mutilating children. Agree or disagree, he is making his position very clear. @MichaelGatesESQ
NEW EPISODE OUT NOW! $425 billion in alleged waste, fraud, and abuse. Gates says California has known about the problem for years and failed to act. At some point, “government waste” stops being a talking point and starts being your money. linktr.ee/politicallybasic
I bristled at the word but then quickly realized this is the absolutely necessary sentiment…. It’s INFURIATING to see people’s lives destroyed by the leadership of this state. We need @SteveHiltonx NOW!!
