California: Next Stop, Venezuela
Posted By: Imright, 8/13/2024 9:25:20 PM
Just when you think California didn't have enough foot left to shoot, it pulls out a gun and does it again. This time it involves the initial step toward California nationalizing the gasoline refinery industry. The California Energy Commission (CEC) has proposed several government regulations of the petroleum industry in order to combat future gasoline price surges. CEC regulators announced proposed government controls of the petroleum industry, ostensibly to combat future gasoline price surges. CEC's proposed fiasco is unbelievable since it has a clear vision of the ultimate outcome: Venezuela. The CEC announcement comes as Chevron, one of the largest oil companies in the U.S., announced that it will relocate

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI launched a beta version of its latest AI assistant Grok 2 Wednesday, adding an image generation tool similar to OpenAI’s DALL-E and Google’s Gemini, but with apparently fewer restrictions on the types of images that can be generated.Key Facts
The startup called the Grok-2 AI model a “significant step forward” compared to the older Grok 1.5 and also announced the launch of Grok-2 mini, “a small but capable sibling.”
Pro-Palestinian hackers, working anonymously under the name RipperSec, claimed credit for a cyber-attack on Elon Musk's live interview with Donald Trump this week.
And a major cybersecurity firm said the hack included a 'highly targeted operation, specifically aimed at Donald Trump's personal Twitter [X] account' alongside its assault on the pair's livestream, sowing chaos for their X 'Spaces' interview Monday.
Though one London-based expert told DailyMail.com he would take the firm's claims 'with a pinch of salt for now' — the murky nature of these technical difficulties during the interview has raised the specter of US election's increasing digital vulnerability.

Ties between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) are becoming more alarming, with Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer revealing that the VP hopeful is connected to “secret police stations that the Chinese have here in the United States.”
During Schweizer’s latest appearance on Breitbart News Daily, Walz was accused of being connected to a group called Minnesota Global that is allegedly tied to a secret Chinese police station in the Twin Cities: The New York Times bestselling author claimed that Walz, who was announced as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate on August 6, is connected to CCP operatives
In the wake of a recent court decision that found Google guilty of illegally monopolizing the online search market, the DOJ is weighing options to restore competition, including a potential breakup of the tech giant.
Bloomberg reports that the DOJ is deliberating on the possibility of breaking up Google following a landmark court ruling that found the company guilty of illegally monopolizing the online search and search text advertising markets. This marks the first time since the unsuccessful efforts to break up Microsoft two decades ago that Washington has considered dismantling a company for illegal monopolization.
Hunter Biden sought the State Department’s help for a Ukrainian energy company while President Joe Biden was vice president, according to the New York Times, which obtained the information from the agency via a FIOA request dating back to 2021.
The release of the document is significant for three reasons. First, the agency released the document after Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection, underscoring concerns among Republicans that the Biden administration covered up Hunter’s foreign business dealings that enriched the Biden family while Joe Biden was vice president.
A homeless woman who was allegedly raped at knifepoint by an illegal migrant in New York City revealed how her attacker taunted her during the brutal attack.
David Davon-Bonilla, 24, from Nicaragua, allegedly approached the 46-year-old homeless woman around 9 pm on Sunday near the Coney Island boardwalk in Brooklyn.
Bonilla is said to have offered her food and coffee in exchange for sex, and when she refused, he grabbed her, threw her to the ground, and raped her while holding a knife to her throat.
Meanwhile, his companion, Leovando Moreno, 37, from Mexico, attacked the woman’s boyfriend, Ray Ramsammy, 34, with a metal pipe
Is anyone awake at Google? Kamala Harris’ team has been tinkering with the search results, editing ads from major publications to make it seem like major outlets are supporting the vice president’s campaign. It’s another example of bias we’re used to, though not deployed in such a brazen and craven way. This event serves as another reminder that the Democrat media complex exists, and it’s working to stifle the will of the people. The other question is if this operation was confident in the vice president’s abilities, why are they tilting the scales like this? For all the talk about misinformation and fake news, the Left remains the main manufacturer
Former President Donald Trump spoke about how “a lot of people” do not have the funds to be able to afford “a whole cart” of groceries.
“We’ve got to get the prices down,” Trump told Elon during a live interview on X. “You know, when I look at bacon costing four or five times more than it did a few years ago. When you look at some of the food products in grocery stores, people know — they can’t believe it. They used to be able to buy a whole cart, and today, a lot of people just don’t have the money. They go in and they can’t buy anything.”
Kamala Harris sure seems desperate to avoid questions from the media.
Peter Doocy of FOX News reported tonight that Harris ditched her traveling press pool to attend an event at Howard University.
It’s amazing that most of the media just puts up with her behavior because they don’t want to say or do anything that might threaten her candidacy.
From Twitter/X: NEW: Peter Doocy reveals that Vice President Kamala Harris ditched her press pool to avoid speaking to the media. “Vice President Harris is supposed to travel everywhere she goes with a press pool. We just learned that she left her press pool behind to attend an event at Howard University.”
NPR Proves They Despise Trump 162 Times

How do voters know the prestige press is hopelessly partisan? For three weeks, Kamala Harris has been refusing all requests for interviews or press conferences, and that goes unpunished. Donald Trump held a press conference, and he was absolutely punished.
Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio demonstrated their ultraliberal tilt for the millionth time -- at least that's how it feels. NPR political director Domenico Montanaro organized a team to pore over Trump's Aug. 8 press conference transcript and "found at least 162 misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies in 64 minutes. That's more than two a minute.
Former President Donald Trump is more popular in August 2024, than he was in August of 2016 and 2020, CNN analyst Harry Enten revealed Tuesday.
The findings suggest Trump has a significant chance to complete the greatest comeback story in modern American politics, despite Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent surge in the polls.
Trump’s favorability rating compared to the last two election cycles:
August, 2024: 44 percent
August, 2020: 41 percent
August, 2016: 33 percent
“The bottom line is Kamal Harris is doing better in the polls but there is a long way to go,” Enten said. “The polls can shift”

(Snip) WATCH: (X Video) According to her opponent, Don Samuels, “In her 6-year tenure, only two bills she’s written and sponsored have become law – both renamed post offices. She can’t run on her achievements, so she has to use fear to win.”

Tampon Tim, Low-T(estosterone) Tim, call him what you want, is the face of a big, fat, middle-aged, sweaty-palmed, pervert groomer. (snip) But, according to a new opinion column by Francis Wilkinson and published by Bloomberg on Friday, Walz is a “manly man” defined by traditional “masculinity,” and it is these characteristics that are “terrifying” to the MAGA voters:
Tim Walz’s Masculinity Is Terrifying to Republicans
Kamala Harris’ running mate has traditional ‘manly man’ traits. He’s also not frightened of women, afraid of Black people or terrified of the future.

Any liberal Democrat whose resume includes football coach, military veteran and sharp-shooting hunter is a challenge to MAGA mythology, "
The person who was arguably most responsible for the lies that destroyed the livelihoods of millions of Americans during the COVID pandemic has contracted the virus again and has more bad advice.
In a video interview back on July 30 that went viral on Monday, Fauci told Dr. Jeremy Faust that despite being vaccinated to the max; he still caught the virus for the third time.
“I got infected about two weeks ago,” said Fauci. “It was my third COVID-19 infection, and I had been vaccinated and boosted a total of six times.”
Joe Biden on Tuesday stopped to chat with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House as he departed en route to New Orleans.
Biden is traveling to Louisiana to deliver remarks a Cancer Moonshot event. He’s going to cure cancer. Just ask him.
After hiding from the public, Biden shuffled out of the White House and took four questions before hobbling over to Marine One.
One reporter asked Biden if he would attend a Trump inauguration. “I have good manners, not like him,” Biden said.
MSNBC is the self-appointed police force for racist comments in American society. Not a day goes by when at least one of the pundits at the network does not label someone a "racist" – even if they are not actually a racist.
Yet, last week, one of MSNBC's own went on another overtly racist rant against white people. Primetime host Joy Reid thanked Kamala Harris for not picking Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly as her running mate because, unlike Tim Walz, Kelly is "super white."
Err, not just "super white.
According to Reid, Sen. Kelly is "like a mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder bread white."
The Obama Effect

A coincidence is, “the occurrence of events that happen at the same time... but seem to have some connection.” That seems to be the case whenever Barack Obama is in close relationship with left-leaning world leaders or directly involved in an American election. Although Obama works hard to look like he’s not directly involved in the things he’s engaged in, anyone who has followed the machinations of the stealthy socialist knows that there are no coincidences regarding the former president.
Barack Obama thrives on adoration
In the three weeks since Joe Biden handed her the nomination, Kamala Harris spent a total of 70 seconds in front of reporters and issued one specific promise, which she stole from Donald Trump.
This is the first presidential campaign in history that appears to be guided by Nancy Pelosi’s line about Obamacare: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”
At her brief stop before a handful of reporters while boarding Air Force Two, one of them oh-so-politely asked Harris when she’d sit down for a press interview.
Her answer: “I’ve
The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has filed federal labor charges against former President Donald Trump and billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk.
This comes hot on the heels of their groundbreaking Twitter Space interview, a conversation that garnered global attention and shattered records with nearly 1 billion combined views of the conversation and subsequent discussion by other accounts.
The interview, which took place on Monday night, saw Trump and Musk exchange ideas on a range of topics, in what many have dubbed a historic dialogue between two of the most influential figures of our time.
However, not everyone was thrilled with the outcome of this conversation. The UAW,
With Kamala Harris becoming a rock star by inviting rock stars to open her act, it’s clear she’s focused on generating excitement through pure fluff. But whereas Harris captures headlines with showmanship, Donald Trump has an opportunity to resonate deeply with a far more substantial and often overlooked voting bloc: those who have paid into the Social Security system. If Trump zeroes in on this group, he can unlock a political goldmine that could propel him back into the White House.
In what even the New York Times admits could be a game-changer, Trump has proposed ending income taxes on Social Security benefits.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk pitched a “government efficiency commission” to cut government waste while speaking with former President Donald Trump on Monday, and offered to “help out” with such an endeavor.
Musk called for the commission during his more than two-hour conversation with Trump on Monday night. Trump was very receptive to the idea. The relevant conversation begins around the 1:44:00 mark: (X Video) “I think it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission that takes a look at these things and just ensures that the taxpayer money, the taxpayers’ hard-earned money, is spent in a good way,” Musk told Trump.

Tax on Tips’ Proposal — Until Kamala
Harris Copied Him 18 replies
In a stunning display of hypocrisy and double standards, CBS News attacked former President Donald Trump when he announced his “no tax on tips” policy proposal in June and then suddenly became uncritical of the idea when Vice President Kamala Harris copied Trump on Saturday.
“Vice President Kamala Harris is rolling out a new policy position, saying she’ll fight to end taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” CBS announced in a Monday X post. However, when Trump first announced the policy proposal in June, CBS adopted a strikingly different tone.
“Former President Donald Trump’s vow to stop taxing tips would cost the federal government up to $250 billion
Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz responded Tuesday afternoon at a union conference to accusations of “stolen valor” after facing a wave of controversy from Republicans around his military service. (snip) During his speech, Walz responded to criticism of the timing around his 2005 retirement from the Minnesota National Guard by stating he was “damn proud” of his service and emphasized that one “should never denigrate another person’s service record.” (snip) Vance responded to Walz’s public remarks on Tuesday, posting on X that Walz “shouldn’t have lied about it.”
The Harris campaign runs misleading Google ads that look like news articles published by the establishment media, an Axios analysis found Tuesday.
The strategy harnesses the ambiguous nature of the media’s oftentimes pro-Harris coverage with actual Harris campaign advertising.
The Harris campaign edits the ads that “make it appear as if the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News and other major publishers are on her side,” Axios reported. “It’s a common practice in the commercial advertising world that doesn’t violate Google’s policies, but the ads mimic real news results from Search closely enough that they have news outlets caught off guard.”
“According to Google’s ad transparency center,
