Becerra’s mileage tax puts the government in your car. Every mile tracked, every trip billed: work, school, church, your kid’s practice.
Less than 6 hours left to stop this INSANITY and save California. VOTE.

If I can leave you with one thing this Tuesday, it's this: Steve Hilton is running for governor of California & is separate from Trump. And your hate for Trump isn't going to fix the homeless problem, your bills, or California's infrastructure.
Voting for someone just because there's a D next to their name doesn't benefit you. You LOSE when you let your hatred of Trump stand in the way of a truly great candidate who's ready to show up for Californians as our next governor.
Becerra will make your life more expensive. He'll make you even more afraid to walk around neighborhoods that used to be safe. And you'll watch more of your friends pack their bags for Florida.
Don't be afraid to check the Republican box this time!

It’s TRUE. I awarded $4.8 BILLION in no-bid contracts to misplace 479,000 children to sex traffickers and child labor camps.
I gave $787 MILLION to Cherokee Nation to handle the children at the Pomona facility. That’s $787 MILLION of your tax dollars, no questions asked, to a contractor that has zero history working with children.
What’s interesting is Cherokee Nation’s background was only in alcohol and gambling 🤔
Tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about my judgment. And now im running for governor. Unreal.
🚨 Inside the Largest Government Funded Human Trafficking Ring in History: Your tax dollars trafficked over 300,000 children across the United States while NGOs enriched themselves with millions of dollars.
One NGO received $895 million to traffic children across the US. Others got $100+ million, and NGOs in areas like Tucson, Arizona pocketed millions but now receive nothing since the border shut down.
In this video we break down the contracts, speak with former Border Patrol, and confront the NGOs. It’s a must watch, like it and share it. Make sure no one forgets the hundreds of children lost in the government’s hands.

The California Mileage Tax would charge residents 6¢-per-mile, that is about $900 a year for someone driving 15,000 miles.
The future of the Mileage Tax depends on who voters send to Sacramento.
VOTE STEVE HILTON. STOP THE MILEAGE TAX.
Richard Reinhardt retweeted
Becerra’s running on the idea that he’s a career politician with over 3 decades of experience…during that time he lost over 400,000 migrant children! Quite the resume… tomorrow you have the opportunity to vote Hilton! Someone who has showed up for Californians every day of his campaign. 👏👊
Richard Reinhardt retweeted
I see so many Democrats aligned with Hilton’s policies and views…but they’re too afraid to vote for him. Voting for Hilton is a vote for cheaper gas, less crime, cleaner streets. You’re not voting for Trump in this election so stop voting as if a vote for Hilton is a vote for Trump. They’re two different governments and two different people. Vote for what you agree with…not in an attempt to prove a point against the federal government.

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

this California wealth tax thing is just incredible.
so in October 2025, a California healthcare union proposed a "one time" 5% tax on any billionaire's wealth. the ballot measure will be voted on next month. In early December 2025, California announced that it would be a retroactive tax if passed, applying to anyone with CA residency as of Jan 1, 2026. The objective is to pay for Medi-Cal, California's incredibly dysfunctional healthcare system. (which also functions as a glorified welfare apparatus, but that's a discussion for another time).
polls reveal that the CA electorate is split around 50/50 on the tax, but prediction markets only give Prop 40 a ~23% chance of passing (there are competing measures on the ballet that would nullify it).
there are 200 billionaires in CA, worth collectively somewhere between $2.3 and $2.6 trillion. 5% of that is around $100b, accounting for a small amount of attrition. proponents of the tax forecasted a significant windfall, assuming only a 10% departure rate.
supporters thought they were being clever with the retroactive concept. no billionares would leave CA in the few short months between the tax being proposed and the residency cutoff date, without the tax even having passed yet, right?
well as it turns out, they did.
a new paper [1] from two academics at Stanford called "The Net Present Value of the California Billionaire Tax Act", argues that not only did more billionaires leave due to the proposed tax than its proponents expected, but that the value of the tax, if it does pass, is actually negative.
proponents of the tax only assumed 10% avoidance, that is, only 10% of the taxable base of targeted billionaires would leave CA within the very short Oct-Dec 2025 window. Jaros and Rauh, the Stanford academics, find that a lower bound of 28.6% of the taxable base managed to leave.
just based on known departures, those departures total $577b in net worth, or $28.8b in potential tax lost. this of course does not capture everyone (many left without announcing their departure), so the authors normalize to departure rates estimated from other wealth tax events, and apply other discounts for litigation, arriving arrive at a figure of only $28-$36b in forecasted tax revenues.
but this isn't all! all of the income taxes paid by the departed billionaires are also forsaken. the authors estimate that CA billionaires pay $3.3- 5.8b in annual income taxes. they assume a midpoint of $2b lost in annual collections from departed billionaires. the net present value of that lost income stream is -$68.9 billion.
so when you add it all up you get:
+ $30b one-time tax windfall (estimated)
- $69b in present value of lost future income taxes
= - 38.9b overall net present value of the tax
of course, this analysis is highly estimate driven. the authors simulate the parameters 100k times and find a negative NPV of the implemented tax 85 percent of the time.
and if the tax doesn't pass, which it's not looking like it will, California still ended up losing at least $577b in departed net worth, and they have permanently poisoned the well with entrepreneurs who will now worry about future wealth taxes.

Thank you to everyone who has asked me for my recommendations on the statewide propositions.
YES on 39, 41, 42, 43, 45
NO on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 37, 38, 40, 44
Yes, I'm writing a "Susan does the props" column. Here's a preview:
NO on Prop. 1 - It's $11.25 billion of borrowed money for "affordable housing" that will enrich favored developers and burden taxpayers for decades.
NO on Prop. 2 - A budget shell game to enable spending that the state can't afford.
NO on Prop. 3 - Another permanent extension of "temporary" tax hikes. Just stop with this.
NO on Prop. 4 - Allows taxpayer dollars to be used for political campaigns. Seriously, no.
NO on Prop. 5 - Guts the people's power to recall elected officials by prohibiting a replacement election on the same ballot. Changes the law to allow the ousted official to run in the later special election to fill the office. The legislature put this on the ballot. Of course they did.
(There is no 6 through 36. Don't call the county, your ballot is not missing any pages.)
NO on Prop. 37 - A $25 billion program to fund second mortgages for people who can't come up with a down payment, paid for by the people who get the mortgages. Caps on the income of people who are eligible. Caps on the price of the (newly constructed only) homes/condos they can buy. Goodies for developers who agree to conditions. It's a lot of government effort to push people into having two mortgage payments they're barely able to afford. And then they have to pay HOA fees, property taxes, insurance premiums and utility bills. What could go wrong?
NO on Prop. 38 - This is $8.4 billion of borrowed money for medical research, to be repaid with interest by California taxpayers. The mandated spending split seems designed to benefit the individual who paid to collect the signatures to get it on the ballot.
YES on Prop. 39 - Voter ID. It's long past time for California to join 36 other states and the civilized world in verifying the identity of voters.
NO on Prop. 40 - The "billionaires tax," which has a provision allowing the Legislature to amend it later. Guess why.
YES on Prop. 41 - Requires pre-election audits of programs that would be funded by a proposed special tax. Good idea.
YES on Prop. 42 - Prohibits a tax on retirement accounts and other assets, blocking Prop. 40. Another good idea.
YES on Prop. 43 - Protects taxpayers by making it harder to raise taxes. Restores the required two-thirds vote to pass local special (earmarked) taxes. Closes a court-created loophole that since 2017 has made it easier to pass sales tax increases and other costly taxes. Vote yes to close this loophole.
NO on Prop. 44 - Similar to the kidney dialysis propositions that relentlessly haunted previous ballots, this is an attempt to harass non-unionized clinics.
YES on Prop. 45 - Creates CEQA streamlining for certain types of projects, including single-family home developments and water projects. May also ease the path for some horrific projects, so this one's a mixed bag.
That's the list of propositions that are on your statewide ballot.
A note about the statewide offices:
If you think California is on the wrong track, the two most important offices for fixing the problems are governor and controller.
It will get better if Steve Hilton is elected governor.
It will get better if Herb Morgan is elected controller.
Their opponents really need to get out of the business.
A note about judicial races:
Two recently appointed appellate court justices who recklessly widened the loophole that makes it easier to raise taxes are on the ballot for retention. If you vote in Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo counties:
Vote NO to retaining Armen Tamzarian
Vote NO to retaining Audra Mori.

🚨 CALIFORNIA’S HOMELESS SCAM EXPOSED 🚨
They bought this rotting hotel for $8 MILLION in 2020 to “house the homeless.”
Six years later? Still empty. Boarded-up windows, caution tape everywhere, total collapse.
Now they want ANOTHER $20 MILLION — that’s $625,000 PER PERSON — and not a single homeless Californian has slept there.
This isn’t compassion.
This is a VIPER’S NEST OF CORRUPTION.
Billions poured into the homelessness industry while tents explode across streets. Where did the money actually go? Into connected pockets, that’s where.
California isn’t broken.
It’s being looted in broad daylight.
RT if you’re sick of this grift.
Tag your politicians.
The scam ends when we expose it.

Big update to the fraud we discussed in this video. The largest homeless NGO in LA, Weingart Center is under FEDERAL investigation and the court just REJECTED all of Weingart's attempts to dismiss the fraud and waste claims regarding their shady property deal in Cheviot Hills.
What happened? Karen Bass and Nithya Raman laundered YOUR tax dollars through the Weingart NGO to pay 2x cost on a homeless housing project from a scammer middleman; a $16M flip, for a dubious homeless project, all while evicting the seniors who lived there.
Big hat tip to Samantha Nussbaum for doing the leg work on this case and bringing some accountability to the rampant fraud in LA's Homeless Industrial Complex. Are you starting to see how the scams work?

We are in Texas. Just filled up for $3.59. In L.A. on Monday it was $8.59.
Californians: It's not the Iran war. It's not "Trump." It's Democrat policies that have given us the highest gas prices in America.
You can have $3.00 gas but you have to VOTE for it in November.
