Why California’s falling behind even
as US jobs rebound
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 11/23/2025 6:59:58 PM
Thursday’s jobs report suggests the US economy is much stronger than expected — but California lags behind the rest of the nation. Delayed over six weeks by the government shutdown, the report showed that the US economy created 119,000 jobs in September. That blew away economists’ consensus prediction of just 50,000, since summer months usually see slow job growth. Sure seems a sign “the Trump economic policies are actually working,” as Vice President JD Vance put it. Not so, the progressive economic policies of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California. The Golden State has had the nation’s highest unemployment rate for several months running.

The 26-year-old woman who cops said was set on fire by a lunatic with a lengthy rap sheet on a Chicago L train earlier this month has been identified as Bethany MaGee.
“It is devastating that a career criminal with 72 PRIOR ARRESTS is now accused of attacking 26-year-old Bethany MaGee on Chicago’s L train, and setting her on fire,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on social media Sunday.
“This would never have happened if this thug had been behind bars. Yet Chicago lets repeat offenders roam the streets,” Duffy said of suspect Lawrence Reed, 50, who is facing federal terrorism charges in connection with the senseless fire attack.
Arizona laws that distance sex offenders from schools didn’t stop a felon just released from prison from entering a Phoenix elementary and posing as a doctor so he could allegedly sexually assault a 10-year-old girl.
Abel Kai Gblah, 25, is accused of sexual assault and kidnapping after he showed up at the Orangewood Elementary School around noon and pretended to be a physician to entice the student into an empty classroom and assault her on November 19, according to the Phoenix Police Department (PPD).
Prison officials released Gblah only two weeks ago, Fox 10 reported. Gblah also was involved in the alleged smuggling of people across the border into the United States,

Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., the former University of Virginia football player convicted of killing three other players on the team, received five life sentences on Friday.
Jones shot and killed University of Virginia football players D’Sean Perry, Lavel Davis Jr. and Devin Chandler and “wounded two other students on a charter bus returning to campus from a class trip to Washington, D.C.,” according to WTVR.
FOX News reported he was also sentenced to an additional 23 years on top of the five life stints.
Breitbart News noted the shooting occurred on November 13, 2022, and that Jones indicated his father’s departure in his parents’ divorce had been extremely “traumatic” for him.

Charges After Doxxing Federal Agent During Raid 4 replies
A U.S. Department of Justice employee has been hit with state terrorism charges after allegedly doxxing a federal agent during a border raid.
This week, investigators with the Cameron County District Attorney’s Office arrested Karen Olvera De Leon on charges stemming from a criminal indictment. Olvera De Leon is an employee with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas in Brownsville and is charged with one count of terrorism and one count of tampering with physical evidence.
According to information provided to Breitbart Texas by Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz, the case began on June 9, when federal agents conducted a raid in Brownsville.
On Instagram, there were numerous angry posts last Friday reporting that in McMinnville, in Yamhill County, Oregon, ICE detained a 17-year-old high-school student who is a U.S. citizen during the lunch period. Of course, there is much more to the story, but liberals were up in arms, asking how this could be America and comparing it to Hitler.
The posts all implied he was arrested at school. The school district confirmed that the arrest occurred off campus and that no ICE agents entered school property.
Later reports claimed that ICE had smashed his car window. If ICE smashed the car window,
In a 3-2 ruling on Friday, the North Dakota Supreme Court reinstated a near-total abortion ban with limited exceptions, deeming that it adhered to the state's constitution. The law was first instituted through a trigger ban after the 2022 overturn of Roe v. Wade, with the United States Supreme Court decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health. In 2023, the North Dakota legislature repealed the trigger ban, passing another bill that mirrored the ban with exceptions for the life and health of the mother, and within the first six weeks of pregnancy in cases of rape or incest.
Bloodlust Politics

There is a sickness loose in American culture—one far more corrosive than policy disagreements or spirited debate. It’s the worldview, proudly embraced and increasingly celebrated on the political left, that violence against innocent people is perfectly acceptable—so long as it moves their agenda forward or harms their opponents. And the evidence of this moral rot is no longer anecdotal, subtle, or theoretical. It is loud, explicit, and proudly broadcast in broad daylight.
Look at Chicago—where violent mobs surged into the downtown area, leaving eight people shot and one dead. The footage is chaotic, heartbreaking, and infuriating. Families ran for cover, small businesses were destroyed,
Good morning! It’s Sunday, November 23, 2025.
Today in History:
1976: Frenchman Jacques Mayol is the first person to dive 100 meters (~328ft) in the sea without breathing equipment He broke his own record seven years later by diving to 105 meters (~350ft). (Snip) I've been watching the developments in the government's case against Derek Chauvin. Another person who has also been watching and who has been rather vocal about it is a former law-enforcement, former-Marine type under the handle “Flopping Aces”. This morning, his newest post has some rather interesting info.
We'll get to that in a minute, but I want to first make clear my position:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent out a fundraising email in mid-November asking supporters to chip in "$5 or anything you can" to spread holiday joy across New York City ahead of Thanksgiving, calling on donors to help pay for turkeys for needy families.
But instead of directing donors to local charities coordinating turkey drives, as she did in years past, the appeal funneled contributions straight into her campaign account through ActBlue, raising serious legal and ethical red flags.
According to a report from the New York Post, “clicking on the contribution link sends people directly to a campaign fundraising page operated by ActBlue,
In the wake of New York City electing itself a real live communist for mayor earlier this month, Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) introduced a non-binding resolution to Congress this past week called "Denouncing the horrors of socialism." That means it doesn't create any sort of real law — it's largely symbolic, with the intention of affirming "that the United States rejects socialism and opposes the implementation of socialist policies that threaten the freedoms and prosperity that define our nation."
Voting in favor of it should have been a no-brainer. It was for Republicans, at least: 199 voted in favor of it, with zero voting against.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Climate Hoax) is enraged at President Donald Trump and his administration, but not for the usual Orange-Man-Bad-is-a-fascist-who-is-taking-away-Our-Democracy reasons. No, Whitehouse deserves credit for originality: he has found an entirely new reason to hate Trump, blazing trails for his fellow leftists. The man is that rarest of things among politicians, particularly leftist ones: an innovator.
Fox News reported Friday that the selfless public servant Whitehouse “spoke at a press conference on the House side of the Capitol Thursday with the blessing of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.”

It’s another day ending in “y,” so it’s another day when a federal judge jumps in to thwart the Trump administration.
On Monday, Judge Cameron McGowan Currie tossed the cases against Former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James, ruling that Attorney General Pam Bondi's appointment of Lindsey Halligan as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid. The Department of Justice is almost certain to appeal the ruling. Meanwhile, the case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning the charges could still be refiled, although in the case of Comey, that may be in doubt given that the statute of limitations has since run.
Officials with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reportedly said Thursday the man who tried to assassinate President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, acted alone. The FBI’s conclusion came after an intense and global investigation wherein authorities said they left no stone unturned, Fox News reported Friday. The outlet interviewed FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and a senior official who asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of his work.[snip] the president was satisfied with the results and where we left it,” Patel said.
A controversial Muslim building project in northern Texas is rebranding as the apparent attempt to build a town based on Islam draws national attention. Collin County Judge Chris Hill posted via Facebook on Nov. 8 that the project known as “EPIC City” is now called “The Meadow.” Development Group Community Capital Partners, also known as CCP, is submitting new construction and city planning blueprints for Collin County to evaluate. "CCP is the company behind EPIC City, an Islamic-focused community planned near Josephine, Texas, in Collin and Hunt Counties,” Hill wrote.
Pentagon Investigating Kelly: Good

We wrote here about the disgraceful video produced by six elected Democrats, encouraging uniformed members of the military, as well as members of the intelligence community, to “resist” the Trump administration by refusing to obey orders. Today the Pentagon announced that it is investigating Senator Mark Kelly’s involvement in that incitement to insurrection: (Snip) As Secretary Hegseth said, Senator Kelly is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. If appropriate, he could be recalled to active duty and courtmartialed. I assume that a number of cases have been decided under the UCMJ, that involve encouraging soldiers to disobey orders. I can imagine that such cases have not gone well
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is laying down the law for Bill and Hillary Clinton: show up in person for depositions in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, or face prison.
Comer warned the former president and his twice-failed presidential candidate wife that dodging these subpoenas with written answers will not cut it—it's a clear no-go, and could invite contempt of Congress charges.
Originally subpoenaed in August, the Clintons asked their lawyer to request that the committee accept written statements rather than require them to sit for live depositions. Their attorney, David Kendall, claimed that written answers would be the “most efficient and equitable” approach.
Comer shot that down.

AP Argues for Oval Office, Air Force One Access 17 replies
The Associated Press argued for keeping its Oval Office and Air Force One access before a Washington, D.C., appeals panel Monday, after riling President Donald Trump over the news outlet’s insistence on using the phrase “Gulf of Mexico.”
“The First Amendment does not stop at the Oval Office door,” AP attorney Charles Tobin argued before the three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
He argued that the White House press pool system has long allowed the AP to attend almost every presidential event. He noted that some form of the White House press pool goes back to the White House of President James Garfield, and was more
In 2018, as California was laying the groundwork to build a new 911 system for the state, a massive fire ripped through Butte County, decimating several Northern California communities and killing over 80 people.
The devastating Camp Fire, which wiped out cell towers and hampered emergency communication during critical hours, was on everyone’s minds as the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services worked to design the state’s future emergency communication system. Between 2019 and 2025, California paid four technology companies over $450 million to build out its Next Generation 911 system, But when the time came to turn that system on, it didn’t work.

The Department of War has opened a probe into “serious allegations of misconduct” against Sen. Mark Kelly that could result in court-martial proceedings, just days after President Trump accused him of seditious behavior.
Without providing details of what offenses Kelly (D-Ariz.), a retired Navy captain, is accused of committing, the Department of War vowed to conduct a “thorough review.”
“This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality,” the Department of War said. “All service members are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ [Uniform Code of Military Justice] to obey lawful orders
Last week a radio host in Salt Lake City asked me a question I didn’t expect. We’d been talking about my “jobs Americans won’t do” article, which kind of kicked the anthill, and everything stayed within the usual lanes: illegal immigration, wages, hiring incentives, hollowed-out towns. Then, at the very end, he asked the only question that really matters: “So how do we fix it?”
Not describe it or rant about it. Fix it.
My answer, essentially, was, "It's complicated." There isn’t a bumper-sticker answer. And there certainly isn’t a partisan one. The problem goes much deeper than illegal immigration, though illegal immigration made it far worse. The truth is brutal:

Asking Attacker to Stop Talking Loudly

As the sane residents of New York City await (no doubt with bated breath) the mayoralty of stated Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, a senseless Saturday attack on a subway rider starkly illustrated the already-dangerous reality of out-of-control violent crime in America's once-premier city.
According to the NYPD, the 54-year-old straphanger was punched in the face, several times, then stabbed in the stomach after asking another passenger to talk more quietly on his cellphone.
The attacker jumped off the train at the station and was on the loose, police told the NY Post, while the victim was taken to Jamaica Hospital in stable condition. The attack occurred aboard an E train
On the May 22, 2020 episode of Charlamagne Tha God’s popular podcast, Joe Biden said words that have become infamous:
“If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black.”
He did not hesitate. He did not show discomfort. And there was very little pushback from Charlamagne. Neither seemed to understand how incredibly grotesque it was for a white politician to declare that a black man’s voting choice determined whether he was eligible to be black.
To Biden, the line wasn’t a gaffe. It was a summary. A neat little distillation of the worldview dominant in academia, DEI institutions and the activist class for the past decade:
Race isn’t ancestry anymore. Race is ideology. Race
President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, according to a report. Just the News reported Sunday that the president said, “It will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms. Final documents are being drawn.” The U.S. Department of State lists Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) on its website.
“Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) are foreign organizations that are designated by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended.
