  • "Even setting aside the grammatical errors and sporadic use of punctuation, it’s difficult to follow what the point is here. I went ahead and read Ashbaugh’s piece and can only draw the conclusion that Rebuck is either deliberately mischaracterizing it or simply didn’t understand what he read. If Ashbaugh called for bounties in that piece I certainly missed it. Rebuck claims that Ashbaugh condoned violence, despite his near constant insistence to turn the other cheek. I could go on about the factual errors present here. I’d say it’s fairly shocking that CalCoastNews is publishing such a misleading opinion piece, but then again I have the misfortune of reading Andy’s all too frequent screeds."

  • "Presiden Biden in 2020 caused Texas redistricting Overview of Texas Redistricting After 2020 Census Following the 2020 U.S. census, Texas gained two additional congressional seats due to population growth, which was driven largely by increases in its Latino and Black populations. Under normal redistricting procedures, this demographic shift would have created opportunities for new majority-minority districts. However, the Republican-led Texas legislature drew new congressional and state legislative maps that reduced the number of districts where Black and Hispanic residents form a majority of eligible voters. The new maps were criticized for diluting minority voting strength, with experts noting that despite nearly all of Texas’ population growth coming from Latino residents, no new Latino-majority district was created. Instead, Democratic-leaning urban areas like Austin were "packed" into a single new district (the 37th), creating a so-called “vote sink”—a strategy that concentrates opposition voters to minimize their influence in surrounding districts. Texas State University Public research university in San Marcos, Texas, United States Wikipedia txst.edu Texas_State_University_seal.svg Texas redistricting after 2020 census More: Federal Lawsuit by Biden Administration In response, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) under President Biden filed a federal lawsuit in 2021 alleging that Texas’ redistricting plans violated Section Two of the Voting Rights Act. The DOJ argued that the maps denied or abridged the rights of Latino and Black voters to vote on account of their race, color, or membership in a language-minority group. Attorney General Merrick Garland stated the complaint alleged that Texas’ redistricting would dilute the increased minority voting strength expected from demographic changes. Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta emphasized that the investigation concluded the plans would undermine fair representation for communities of color. You DemoNcrats started it, WE THE PEOPLE, in the current vast majority, finished it. TEXAS was caused by a DemoNcrat CALIFORNIA is being caused by a pure Commiecrat power grab under absolute false reasoning. ***** "The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." - Ronald Reagan"

  • "VOTE NO ON PROP 50! VOTE NO ON PROP 50! STOP California Commiecrats from reversing the voice of WE THE PEOPLE that in 2008 voted (yes, we remeber) to make Prop 11 law that created a bi-partisan law to allow us Californians to draw our own districts. VOTE NO ON PROP 50! VOTE NO ON PROP 50! P.s. Termed out Governor G. Nuisance is wasting upwards of $285 MILLION DOLLARS OF CALIFORNIA TAXPAYER MONEY (that we do not have) to usurp power from WE THE PEOPLE that already settled this issue, with our votes, via this "special [power stealing effort] election." Every word in this post is FACTUAL. VOTE NO ON PROP 50! VOTE NO ON PROP 50!"

  • "Newsom and company believe it's necessary to "Destroy Democracy in Order to Save It," the old and horrid Vietnam-era trope. If the people throw away our hard-won power to select politicians, and instead restore politicians' divine right to select their voters, shame on us. If anyone believes this isn't all about Newsom's effort to push himself toward the Presidency by demostrating "fight" and distracting us from his complete and abject faiiure of leadership and stewardship of California's economy, vitality and hospitality to regular folks, open your eyes."

  • "ICE Barbie will do or say anything to stay in the news. She's a pretend Sec. of Homeland Security just like mean-faced little Pam Blondie is a pretend-attorney general. Neither of them are qualified or competent, both of them are disgraces to their professions, and both of them serve at the will of Stephen Miller, the spawn of Satan."

  • "As soon as Trump stops his power grab, California will do the same. That is clearly stated in this initiative. But, don’t hold your breath, Andy. Currently, 54% of those polled are in favor of Prop 50 with 10% undecided. At least some of those will break in favor. My prediction is a 56-44 victory for democracy."

  • "DHS Secretary Noem met with Portland’s mayor in October 7 and gave him an ultimatum: If the city does NOT clamp down on Antifa militants outside the ICE facility, she will send FOUR TIMES the amount of federal agents out to enforce safe passage for the public to enter and exit the Federal building. "Play time is over.""

  • "Keith, your information is old. Addis's AB 303 is dead in committee. It's going nowhere, because clean energy project siting just superceded AB303 with newly signed SB254 on 9-19-25. SB 254 originally was to address utilities wildfire response, communication and planning. It then got modified towards the end of the bill to add CEIA Clean Energy Infrastructure Authority. The CEIA userpts the CPUC authority, gives the CEIA BESS battery CEQAs review and cookie cutter them. The bill gives the CEIA powers to finance anything on their agenda which circumvents FERC funding authority. The bill even asserts that CEIA has the power to do "anything and all things necessary...". This is the scariest bill that I've ever seen in my 36 years of operating the electric grid and zero news outlets have raised a red flag."

  • "Lithium-ion battery fires are best considered as Class B (flammable liquids) due to the flammable electrolyte, and also pose Class C (electrical) hazards from the electrical current and sometimes Class D (combustible metal) hazards if there's an associated metal housing. They do not fit a single category because they involve multiple types of fuel, and a standard ABC or BC extinguisher is generally recommended over water, which is dangerous on such fires. Why they are complex: Flammable Electrolyte (Class B): The electrolyte, a flammable liquid, is the primary fuel source in a lithium-ion battery fire, behaving similarly to gasoline or paint thinner when it ignites. Electrical Hazard (Class C): The battery is still energized, creating a significant electrical hazard during a fire. Combustible Metal (Class D): Lithium-ion batteries can involve metal casings, and some packaging materials are also combustible. How to address the hazard: Use the right extinguisher: A dry chemical ABC or BC extinguisher is appropriate for a lithium-ion battery fire. Avoid water: Do not use water, as it can spread the fire and cause a dangerous reaction with any lithium present. Call for help: In the event of a large fire, especially in an electric vehicle, evacuate the area immediately and call emergency services. Let it burn out: If a fire cannot be extinguished safely, it's best to place the device in a safe, controlled outdoor location to allow it to burn out completely."

  • "I really cannot understand what you people might be listening to. Intelligence? That's really what you hear when you listen to Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth or Pam Bondi? Really? If they are intelligent they are keeping it from us. Biden, Harris, Obama, Newsom, any of them, can express more in 2 or 3 sentences than a MAGA Trumpian can in 2 or 3 hours of emotional hate-speech. Come on, really? Every time I listen to Trump or one of his ilk, I feel like I come away a little stupider than I already was."
