President Trump is considering a cap on state fuel tax that would offer serious relief to California’s long-suffering drivers.
In an exclusive interview with The California Post, the president said his plan could see drivers pay 40% less at the pump.
“Gasoline in California could be $2.50,” he said. Trump has made his attempts to drive down prices at the pump the centerpiece of his affordability messaging and said he wants to address the fact that the Golden State has the country’s highest gas tax.
The average cost of a gallon of gas in the US in January is $2.83 per gallon, but for California residents,

Consider Fleeing Country After Signal
Chat Got Exposed 6 replies
They got exposed, but that doesn’t mean they’ve gone away or stopped. They’re a roach infestation. These leftists in Minneapolis, causing mayhem for our law enforcement, had their secret Anti-ICE chat on Signal exposed, but new ones have been established, and the older ones nuked from existence. Still, the chats revealed a coordinated system from which these psychopaths could engage in targeted harassment and assault of federal law enforcement. Reporter Cam Higby dropped this nuke over the weekend, and now they’re scattering. Some said they’re fleeing the country and going to Cuba, which was amusing:

After He Allegedly Leaked Nuclear Secrets

A senior figure at the very top of China’s military has been abruptly removed amid allegations he passed highly sensitive nuclear information to the United States.
Zhang Youxia, long regarded as the operational leader of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), was dismissed on Saturday for a “serious violation of discipline.”
According to The Wall Street Journal, the 75-year-old general is accused of sharing classified details relating to China’s nuclear weapons programme with Washington.
The allegations were reportedly laid out during a closed-door briefing attended by senior PLA officers.
A conservative D.A. in rural Arizona is changing the state’s landscape — for the better. With the state in chaos due to botched elections, patriots are desperately in need of a leader to stand up and unite the base. Enter Pinal County Attorney Brad Miller, who was elected to office over a year ago, defeating a two-term incumbent backed by the Pinal County Board of Supervisors and amplified by the local media establishment. That was not an accident. It was a rejection. At the time Miller took office, the chairman of the supervisors was already entrenched, serving his fourth term. Miller is different. He is the outlier,
It’s last call for San Francisco’s government hooch.
A COVID-era program that guzzled $5 million of taxpayer money annually to serve booze to homeless alcoholics will finally shutter this year, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie exclusively told The California Post.
“For years, San Francisco was spending $5 million a year to provide alcohol to people who were struggling with homelessness and addiction — it doesn’t make sense, and we’re ending it,” Lurie said. The taxpayer tipple, called the Managed Alcohol Program (MAP), was created by the San Francisco Department of Public Health in April 2020, when the city began housing homeless people in hotels during lockdown.

Here’s a challenge.

We all know the drill by now. Any time there’s weather, the “climate change” alarmists tell us it’s the end of the world. But all you have to do is get rid of your gas stove, pay more taxes, and submit to more regulation. Then that two feet of climate change in your driveway will magically melt away, and the already frozen polar ice caps will freeze once again.That’s how it works. When the weather weathers, that’s just another excuse for the left to pick your pocket and take away your freedoms.
Well, in this little rural red pocket of a blue state,

The private jet that crashed during takeoff from Bangor International Airport in Maine on Sunday evening is registered to prominent anti-ICE lawyers who were spending tens of millions of dollars to elect Democrats in the upcoming Texas primaries.
The crash resulted in seven fatalities and one serious injury.
The jet was registered to Arnold & Itkin Trial Lawyers, known for its aggressive litigation and leftist political activism, including substantial financial support for Democrat causes, particularly those opposing strict immigration enforcement and Republican policies in Texas.
The victims’ names have not been released at this time, but early reports indicate that people associated with the firm were on board.

The National Security Council whistleblower who triggered the first impeachment against Donald Trump is running for Senate.
Alexander Vindman announced on Tuesday he is running in the president's home state of Florida as a Democrat seeking to oust Republican Senator Ashley Moody.
In his two-minute announcement video, the Ukraine-born candidate leans into his anti-Trump sentiment, claiming: 'This president unleashed a reign of terror and retribution, not just against me and my family, but against all of us.'
'Today, our country is in chaos.'
Vindman, a retired lieutenant colonel and an NSC aide during Trump's first term, testified to Congress in October and November 2019 regarding
The situation in Minnesota is out of control, and finally, happy hands lunatic Tim Walz has chosen reason, deciding to cooperate with Trump officials in the wake of the recent shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis last Saturday. It sparked another round of outrage from the Left, who claim, without evidence, that he was executed. Meanwhile, some conservatives claimed wrongly that he was about to commit mass slaughter before he was shot—Pretti was legally carrying a firearm at the protest. It’s created a total mess on messaging, and now Trump is stepping in to clean up the mess, appointing Tom Homan
We're learning a lot more about the people who were in the anti-ICE Signal chat groups that independent journalist Cam Higby infiltrated in Minnesota, the organization of the group, its donors, and the significance of the address at which Alex Pretti was obstructing federal officers. There's far too much information to detail completely in this piece, but even just from an overview, it's clear that there is an organized insurrection underway, led by several elected officials in Minnesota and aided by alleged journalists. Let's hit the highlights:

Alex Pretti did something foolish and illegal at the protest in Minneapolis. He interfered with law enforcement agents. There will be debates for days if not years about whether his illegal interference with the cops, the discovery of his gun, and his violent resistance justified them shooting him.
In considering that issue, I urge readers to consider it not from the warm comfort of their recliner while watching slow-motion videotapes interspersed with football highlights, but from the perspective of cops who are being taunted, spat upon, name-called, and threatened with being run over by organized protesters in the bitter
The FBI has launched a formal investigation into encrypted Signal group chats that anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement activists in Minneapolis allegedly used to track, identify, and interfere with federal law enforcement officers, FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday.
And it looks like some Minnesota state officials could face consequences.
The investigation was prompted by independent journalist Cam Higby’s viral X thread detailing coordinated efforts on the messaging app to share real-time information about ICE agents’ movements.

A Minnesota sports radio personality is apologizing after he called into question the intentions of ICE protestors in Minneapolis. Paul Allen, the voice of the Minnesota Vikings football team, issued a statement on Monday, Jan. 26 following his on-air comments Friday in which he discussed the inclement weather set to hit the area, and wondered how it would affect the city’s ongoing ICE protests. "I made a comment on Friday about protesters and the weather that was insensitive and poorly timed, and I'm sorry," Allen, 60, said in a prepared statement.

A candidate for the Illinois Statehouse worries there could be a dark side to the 725% increase in Medicaid payments for children without Social Security numbers.
After more than a year of digging, Statehouse candidate Bailey Templeton’s most public records collection shows 1,085 Illinois children under 18 without SSNs had Medicaid bills of $66 million in 2025. That’s up 725% from $8 million for 450 children in 2021.
“It's roughly $40 million spent on inpatient treatment, that's a lot of time for children to be in hospitals,” Templeton told The Center Square Friday. The data only generates more questions for Templeton.
“It raises questions about what would be called medical trafficking,

As we all know, the only thing "progressive" about the Left over the last ten years has been the progression of their psychological affliction known as "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
