Episode 1167 – The Exodus from California Continues!

California loses another billionaire after the state threatens to implement a wealth tax.

Joe Biden’s FBI has been proven to have been acting badly. Will anything come of it?

And CNN is about to release a documentary on Christian Nationalism. This raises a couple of questions.

News

Here is some news:

  • Hollywood legend Steven Spielberg is the latest billionaire to escape California ahead of a hefty proposed wealth tax. The director recently purchased a home in the iconic San Remo co-op in New York City overlooking Central Park.
  • Public Storage announced it is leaving California and moving its corporate headquarters from Glendale to Frisco, Texas.
    • Public Storage operates thousands of self-storage units across the country.
  • Blu Zeke Daly, 26, of Manchester, previously known as “Cullen Zeke Daly,” reportedly pulled a vehicle up to a closed gate at the US-Canadian Pittsburgh Port of Entry and fired gunshots at a Border Patrol agent when approached.
    • The suspect is trans nonbinary.
  •  The FBI under Joe Biden subpoenaed the phone records of now-FBI Director Kash Patel and now-White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in 2022 and 2023, when both were private citizens. The phone records grab was part of the Biden administration’s investigation into Donald Trump.
  • New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is proposing to spend $70 million on his plan for a network of government-owned grocery stores, a sum $10 million higher than he pledged on the campaign trail, even as his administration warns of a multibillion-dollar fiscal shortfall and raises the prospect of higher property taxes.
  • Cuba’s Interior Ministry reported that four men aboard a US-registered speedboat were killed after opening fire on a Cuban coast guard vessel near Cayo Falcones on Wednesday morning. Six additional passengers were wounded and received medical care.
    • The ministry said the Florida-registered vessel, carrying at least 10 people, was detected in Cuban waters off the country’s northern coast in Villa Clara province. When five members of the Cuban border guard approached the speedboat to verify its identity, the crew allegedly opened fire, injuring the Cuban commander.
    • The Cuban government later said that the 10 passengers who opened fire on soldiers were Cubans who had been living in the US and were seeking to infiltrate the island nation for the purpose of committing terrorism, the AP reports. The government claimed that the passengers on the boat “have a known history of criminal and violent activity.”
  • No movement on Iran.
    • They continue to talk in Geneva.
    • Iran refuses to give up their “peaceful” nuclear ambitions.
    • Iran refuses to giver up their ballistic missile program.
    • Iran refuses to giver up their nuclear materials.
    • The Trump administration says both Iranian demands are unacceptable.
    • The United States shipped a bunch of F-22s to Israel.
    • We should know more over the next 48 to 72 hours.

Just fucking dumb! Here is Rep Jenelle Bynum saying that Trump asking politicians to stand if they believe government should protect American citizens over illegal aliens. You’ll be shocked at what she says:

This Sounds Good!

Some things:

  • She doesn’t call this “White Christian Nationalism”. They take the racial component out of it.
  • She says that the country was based on Judeo/Christian principles. It was.
  • She says that Judeo/Christian principles should influence our laws and culture. It should. We aren’t kicking anyone out of the country because they have a different religion.
  • Charlie Kirk’s death did create a revitalization of Christianity. So did the assassination attempts of Donald Trump.
  • Notice, all the violence is coming out of the Left.

They Might As Well As Cancel It Now

According to the Post Millennial:

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy features a gay Klingon cadet. The show features a lesbian relationship between a mixed Klingon and Jem’Hadar and Tig Notaro, who plays a teacher at the Academy, as well as a Klingon man who dates a human.

“I won’t pretend that I wasn’t scared to take on this role. Part of me still is. Not because of the character himself, but because I knew the reaction that could come with it,” actor Karim Diané said of his character, Jay-Den Kraag, per Pink News.

To those who aren’t crazy about the warrior race being displayed as gay, Diané says their concerns are just “rooted in homophobia, racism, bigotry.” In the Star Trek universe, Klingons are a warrior race who are always ready for a fight and go into battle under the mantra “today is a good day to die.”

“But what matters more is this,” said Diané, “over the past few weeks since this show premiered, I’ve received countless messages from LGBTQ+ people around the world… people who feel seen, validated, and inspired by Jay-Den. Those messages outweigh every bit of negativity. Every single time.”

Episode 7, which aired this week, showed the Klingon character heading off to Ibiza to party down with his gay lover Kyle for spring break, or “All Worlds Day,” as it’s called on the show. Jay-Den Kraag didn’t even end up making it on the trip; he got sidetracked by another plot line, but Kyle came back terribly sunburned. Other cadets spent their All Worlds Day holidays with their families.

Of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, Diané said he imagined a future that expanded who gets to be seen, heard, and valued. “A future where diversity isn’t merely tolerated but celebrated. Jay-Den doesn’t exist outside of that tradition. He exists because of it. ‘Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations’ isn’t just a catchy phrase Roddenberry tossed around. I believe he truly meant it,” he said.

Trekkers and Trekkies on X spoke out against the absurdity of taking a Star Trek series and making it about sexual identity, with one user saying “life long star trek fan but have not even started watching starfleet academy, i just can´t. from captain picard fighting the borg which was beyond epic to increasingly woke and insane storylines with every new series of star trek that has made it impossible to watch.”

“And then they wonder why people only watch the old shows, is because they were fun and entertaining not a platform to push an agenda,” said another.

You Don’t Say!

What a Dolt

According to the Daily Wire:

Actor Ted Levine apologized recently for his iconic turn as cross-dressing serial killer Jame Gumb in the 1991  horror classic “The Silence of the Lambs,” saying that it was “f*cking wrong” that the film had “vilified” the apparent gender confusion of his character.

Levine told The Hollywood Reporter that his intent had always been to play Gumb — nicknamed “Buffalo Bill” — as a “f*cked-up heterosexual man” despite the fact that the character dresses in women’s clothing, wears makeup, and skins his female victims in an effort to make himself a suit of female flesh.

“There are certain aspects of the movie that don’t hold up too well,” he said. “We all know more, and I’m a lot wiser about transgender issues. There are some lines in that script and movie that are unfortunate.”

Levine said that when they were making the film — based on the 1988 Thomas Harris novel by the same title — he had not been particularly concerned, but that “over time and having gotten aware and worked with trans folks, and understanding a bit more about the culture and the reality of the meaning of gender — it’s unfortunate that the film vilified that, and it’s f*cking wrong. And you can quote me on that.”

“I didn’t play him as being gay or trans. I think he was just a f*cked-up heterosexual man. That’s what I was doing,” Levine explained.

Episode 1137 – Well, It’s About Time!

An arrest is finally made on a mystery from January 6th.

An Illinois church decides to commit blasphemy in order to make a political point.

And it appears Democrats like food stamp fraud.

It’s About Time

According to Fox News:

A suspect who allegedly planted pipe bombs blocks from the U.S. Capitol on January 5, 2021, is now in federal custody after a nearly five-year investigation, law enforcement sources told Fox News Digital on Thursday.

The FBI arrested the suspect, a male living in Virginia, early Thursday morning, the sources said. The man in custody is named Brian Cole, two sources said.

Authorities discovered the two pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committees’ headquarters around the same time that thousands of protesters a few blocks away began to descend on the Capitol over the 2020 election results.

He Not On Your Side, Folks!

According to Fox News:

An Illinois church is facing criticism for displaying a Nativity scene that depicts baby Jesus with his hands zip-tied and guarded by figures styled as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Lake Street Church of Evanston is displaying the scene outside on its grounds. Baby Jesus is wrapped in a thin blanket resembling aluminum foil, which the church said is a reference to the emergency blankets used in detention facilities. Masked centurions, officers in the ancient Roman army, are depicted in sunglasses and green vests labeled “ICE.”

It also shows Mother Mary wearing a respirator mask “to protect herself from tear gas,” according to the church. Joseph is also masked. 

In a Facebook post last week, the church said the installation reimagines the Nativity as a scene of forced family separation, drawing parallels between the Holy Family’s refugee flight and modern immigration detention practices.

“This installation reimagines the nativity as a scene of forced family separation, drawing direct parallels between the Holy Family’s refugee experience and contemporary immigration detention practices,” the post reads.

“‘The Holy Family were refugees. This is not political interpretation, this is the reality described in the stories our tradition has told and retold for millenia,’” it continues. “‘By witnessing this familiar story through the reality faced by migrants today, we hope to restore its radical edge, and to ask what it means to celebrate the birth of a refugee child while turning away those who follow in that child’s footsteps.’”

Then They Should Do Their Jobs

According to Perplexity:

Twenty-one Democratic-led states and Washington, D.C., have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s latest SNAP guidance, arguing it unlawfully cuts off food aid to certain lawful immigrants and threatens states with massive financial penalties if they do not quickly comply.

What the lawsuit challenges

The suit targets October 31 guidance from USDA that interprets provisions of Trump’s new budget and tax package (“One Big Beautiful Bill”) to make many lawful permanent residents who previously had refugee or asylum status ineligible for SNAP, despite statutes that treat those categories as fully eligible once they get green cards. The attorneys general say this reverses longstanding policy, conflicts with federal law, and was issued without a reasoned explanation or proper implementation timeline.

Who is suing and where

A coalition of 21 Democratic attorneys general plus the D.C. attorney general filed the case in federal district court in Eugene, Oregon. States joining include California, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Washington, Wisconsin, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont, along with Washington, D.C.

What the states argue

The states argue USDA’s memo illegally denies SNAP to refugees, asylees, humanitarian parolees, and similar groups once they become lawful permanent residents, even though federal law makes them eligible on the same terms as citizens after that point. They also say USDA skipped the required 120‑day grace period and is threatening states with extreme fiscal sanctions and higher error‑rate penalties if they do not reprogram eligibility systems almost overnight.

What Trump’s changes do more broadly

The contested guidance sits on top of broader SNAP changes in Trump’s July “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which sharply tightens eligibility, expands work requirements, and shifts more administrative and benefit costs onto states over the next few years. Analysts estimate roughly 186 billion dollars in SNAP reductions over ten years, with additional future obligations for states if their payment error rates exceed new thresholds.

How the administration responds

The Trump administration defends the policy as part of a mandate to reduce “waste, fraud, and abuse” and to ensure that benefits go to citizens rather than people it characterizes as ineligible non‑citizens, while declining detailed comment on the pending case. USDA has publicly maintained that its interpretation of the law and the timing of the implementation window are correct, even as multiple Democratic‑led states simultaneously pursue a separate lawsuit over a new demand for sensitive SNAP recipient data.

Here IS The Conflict

According to the Daily Wire:

An illegal immigrant cop who was arrested by federal authorities in October and later released has since been brought back onto the force.

The Hanover Police Department announced Tuesday that it has brought Radule Bojovic, an illegal immigrant from Montenegro, back on as an officer following his release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention in October. Bojovic overstayed a B2 tourist visa that required him to leave the United States on March 31, 2015, the Department of Homeland Security said at the time of his arrest.

An immigration judge granted a $2,500 immigration bond just two weeks after he was picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Bojovic returned to work Monday and will receive a paycheck for the time he missed while he was detained, the department said in a statement Tuesday.

Despite his immigration status, Bojovic was hired in January because he had a federal work permit and passed all background checks, the department said.

Bojovic was eligible to receive a starting salary of $78,955.70 when he was hired, according to the Department of Homeland Security. His 2025 earnings were $205,707, including $9,276 for FICA/Medicare taxes.

No More Dorritos

According to the New York Times:

The San Francisco city attorney filed on Tuesday the nation’s first government lawsuit against food manufacturers over ultraprocessed fare, arguing that cities and counties have been burdened with the costs of treating diseases that stem from the companies’ products.

David Chiu, the city attorney, sued 10 corporations that make some of the country’s most popular food and drinks. Ultraprocessed products now comprise 70 percent of the American food supply and fill grocery store shelves with a kaleidoscope of colorful packages.

Think Slim Jim meat sticks and Cool Ranch Doritos. But also aisles of breads, sauces and granola bars marketed as natural or healthy.

It is a rare issue on which the liberal leaders in San Francisco City Hall are fully aligned with the Trump administration, which has targeted ultraprocessed foods as part of its Make America Healthy Again mantra.

Mr. Chiu’s lawsuit, which was filed in San Francisco Superior Court on behalf of the State of California, seeks unspecified damages for the costs that local governments bear for treating residents whose health has been harmed by ultraprocessed food.

It’s Not a Person

According to Perplexity:

Yes—prediction and betting markets currently show “Artificial Intelligence” as the frontrunner for TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year, edging figures like Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Pope Leo XIV.

What the odds say

  • Polymarket contracts currently price AI as the most likely pick, ahead of Jensen Huang and Pope Leo XIV, indicating the market consensus that AI’s influence defined 2025.
  • Multiple outlets summarizing prediction markets and odds boards likewise list AI at or near the top, reinforcing that AI is leading the race across speculative venues.

Context and precedent

  • TIME has on rare occasions selected non-human entities when their influence dominated the year; “The Computer” was chosen in 1982, a precedent often cited in current market commentary about AI’s candidacy.
  • Media coverage notes AI’s outsized cultural, economic, and political footprint in 2025 as the core rationale behind its leading odds.

Key contenders behind AI

  • Jensen Huang: Frequently the closest competitor in market pricing, reflecting Nvidia’s central role in AI infrastructure.
  • Pope Leo XIV: Also trading among the top spots on prediction markets, signaling notable global relevance in 2025.

Who Knew?

According to the New York Post:

New research suggests the ages at which cellphones can be most harmful to youth health.

The study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, found that those who had a cellphone before the age of 12 were more likely to develop depression, obesity and poor sleep habits compared to those who didn’t.

And the younger kids were when they got a phone, the greater the risk of obesity and insufficient sleep.

Researchers evaluated data from over 10,500 children who participated in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study — the most recent and largest long-term look at children’s brain development.

While the research doesn’t prove that getting a phone at a young age directly causes these outcomes, the findings, along with previous studies, suggest it could lead to less socialization, exercise and sleep.

2023 study found that of 11- and 12-year-olds who had an electronic device in their bedrooms, nearly 17% were buzzed awake by notifications.

Meanwhile, more than 80% of children between the ages of 11 and 17 don’t get the recommended amount of daily physical activity, thanks in part to an increased fixation on screens. Being sedentary can lead to poor health and social behavior in kids.

And since adolescence is an essential period for growth, these changes can have long-term effects on mental and physical health, according to researchers.

He Ain’t a Survivor

According to the New York Post:

Jawan Pitts is still reeling from his experience on “Survivor 49.”

The 28-year-old video editor became the fourth black player voted off in a row during Wednesday night’s episode — which he’s still processing months after filming ended.

“First off, it was a topic of discussion out there,” Pitts exclusively told The Post on Monday. “Me and Kristina [Mills] had a back and forth about it.”

“I think as a viewer, it’s hard to watch. When it happened on [Season] 42… you know, I’m a part of the community too, so I definitely felt it,” he continued. “But I think in the game it was so hard to put a pin on it. And even experiencing it, I’m going to therapy to truly kind of process. I’m like, ‘Why? Why did that happen?’”

But Pitts clarified that from his perspective, he doesn’t believe there were “any alternative motives” in how the post-merge boot order has panned out.

“I think the game was so fluid and there was so many things — advantages, variables,” he said. “So I think that’s how I feel personally.”

Pitts also told The Post he wanted to address “the elephant in the room” regarding the fact that he voted out fellow black contestants Nate Moore, MC Chukwujekwu and Alex Moore.

“I just want to step back and look at the optics of the jury and just hold space for that for a moment. And maybe anybody that’s watching it and feeling uncomfortable, I want their feelings to feel validated,” he explained. “And also more specifically with MC, I want to hold space for her hurt feelings. But I also want to use this time to share some insight into why I made those decisions.”
