fOCUS has been out for a few months now (and is now available in paperback). My first attempt at a novel was a labor of love and I appreciate all the support from everyone who has read it. I'm pretty much caught up on answering your emails and texts, so feel free to write!

Unless you are close to family here or on the Soros payroll there is little reason to stay sadly …
JUST IN: Gen Z is reportedly fleeing California, which lost a net 58,109 young adults in 2024, the largest decline of any state.

Bernie Sanders says he wants to impeach RFK Jr. "I think he has been the most dangerous Secretary of HHS in history!" RFK Jr, who has pushed major food companies to phase out artificial dyes and reduce ultra-processed foods, who is pushing for healthy nutrition in hospitals and schools, that's who they want to go after

Polly Klaas’ furious father exploded on national TV after Gavin Newsom waited until two days after the midterms to commute every single one of California’s 548 death sentences to life without parole, including the monster who kidnapped and strangled his 12 year old daughter at a sleepover.

Just curious … If you successfully climb over the fence at Disneyland or Walt Disney World, do they reward you with an annual pass?
Thank you, Senator. There's no pathway to home ownership for people who break into my house. There should be no pathway to citizenship for people who break into the country—even if they're pregnant. Said so to @tracegallagher @foxnewsnight two years ago.

#BREAKINGNEWS: California voters have rejected a first-in-the-nation tax on the net worth of billionaires following a contentious ballot fight that generated huge spending by some prominent tech leaders eager to stop their taxes from going up. abc7ne.ws/K2Pbdw

So now in California you need ID to buy creatine, but not to vote. How does anybody take Newsom seriously?

Replying to @ABC7
You mean Democrats marching about "no kings" was all a lie. Newsom has multiple times over ruled the voice of the people when we voted for something this is just another example

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. The father of m*rdered 12-year-old California girl Polly Klaas just WENT OFF on national TV at Gov. Gavin Newsom commuting the death penalty of her k*ller after the midterms "WHY does he wait until TWO DAYS after the midterms to PULL a STUNT like this? So he can be in the history books?!" "HE TURNS A BLIND EYE! [...] Quite frankly I don't understand! He has been governor for 8 YEARS yet he FAILED to get rid of the death penalty. It still exists!" You can hear the pain in his voice. Newsom announced on Thursday, two days after Election Day, that he's commuting the sentences of ALL 548 death row inmates in California to life without parole, with two months left in office 🤯 That includes Richard Allen Davis, who kidnapped Polly from a sleepover in 1993 and strangled her Marc Klaas called it "a shiv in my back" 💔 "It shouldn't have been a unilateral decision by a lame-duck governor." California voters REJECTED abolishing the death penalty in 2012 and again in 2016. Newsom overruled them anyway on his way out the door. Disgusting.

Be honest California and the rest of the country. @GavinNewsom is a dictator. He totally raped the will of the people. Do not allow this utterly corrupt subhuman sewer dweller fascist racist drug addicted alcoholic to fail up. He needs to be in prison! 💯 @GovPressOffice
I was a deputy state AG - and Gavin Newsom's pompous death-row commutations betray an entire process of justice trib.al/kEStBqx

LA is totally clown world .. it’s feels like a Portlandia skit that this woman will be the next mayor ..
7 people die on the streets of LA every single day because of overdoses, and this is the inane bullshit our nitwit mayor is doing. We are so cooked.

He is a perfect representative of pure evil.
Zohran Mamdani is defending his decision to attend an October 7 vigil, arguing that politics should never determine whose deaths deserve to be mourned. ⠀ "There must be room in our politics to mourn everyone who has been killed," Mamdani says, calling for universal compassion and opposition to all war crimes. ⠀ He insists that recognizing human suffering means refusing to pick and choose which lives deserve sympathy.

Dave Chappelle crossed a line he cant come back from.
Joe Rogan was live on air when Charlie Kirk was assassinated. He knew instantly that people would celebrate his death. He called celebrating it “one of the most horrific things you can do.” I don’t think he expected one of those people to be his longtime friend Dave Chappelle
