How the Wealth Tax Allows the Legislature to Circumvent Prop. 13

By Rob Lapsley and Jon Coupal, The California Brief

Sacramento politicians are asking Californians to believe a familiar story again: don’t worry, this tax only applies to someone else.

This time, it is wrapped in the language of fairness and sold as a “billionaire tax.” But when you actually read the fine print on how the ballot measure is structured, the reality becomes crystal clear. This is not simply a tax on billionaires. It is a framework that will allow future Legislatures to expand new taxes onto your property, savings, investments, retirement accounts, taxing millions of Californians who would never consider themselves billionaires.

What Democrats Could Say, but Aren’t. What They Are Saying, but Shouldn’t.

By Victor Davis Hansen

The midterm elections are about five months away, and we’re having here in California a hotly contested governor’s race. And of course, everybody’s heard about the mayor’s race. They all have something in common if we examine them. There is no Democratic agenda. 

There’s no antithetical agenda to the Republicans.

Gavin Newsom’s $30 Billion Fraud Magnet

Christopher F. Rufo, Kenneth Schrupp, City Journal

California Governor Gavin Newsom is embroiled in a national fraud scandal. Thus far, much of the coverage has focused on alleged schemes related to unemploymentinsurance, hospice care, and food stamps. In this exclusive investigation, we shine a light on one of California’s largest initiatives: the In-Home Supportive Services Program, or IHSS, which pays family members and other individuals to provide home-based care for the elderly and disabled—at a cost of nearly $30 billion per year.

On the surface, IHSS presents itself as an instrument of compassion, directing billions to caregivers who help with cooking, personal care, laundry, and other daily needs inside recipients’ homes. But a growing number of experts and critics argue that the program is rife with fraud, losing roughly an estimated $6 billion to $12 billion yearly to scammers. Meantime, the state’s powerful home-care unions collect more than $149 million in membership dues, funneling money into the political network supporting Newsom and California Democrats.

What Trump Didn’t Say In His Masterful Iran Speech Was As Important As What He Didn't

By Bob Maistros, Issues & Insights

It was a very different Donald Trump the nation saw Wednesday night than “the showman president” they experienced in his last prime-time address. Then, an “affordability”-addled America was force-fed the chief executive’s version of “P.T. Barnum, the Prince of Humbugs, blaring hard-sell and hyperbole, mixed with equal measures of vitriol and vituperation.”

This time around, 47 stepped forward in a very different, and far more appropriate role: a calm, contemplative, and consolatory commander-in-chief accompanied concerned countrymen and women on a solemn but straight-to-the-point “sojourn” – to use his description of the current incursion – down Memory Lane.

A Marin County Tax Tsunami is Coming!

How many new taxes will YOU be asked to pay?

In 2026, Marin County voters will face the largest wave of tax proposals in local history.

At the same time, special interest groups are pushing to make it even easier to pass new taxes – with loopholes that allow them to pass with only 50% + 1 vote instead of the long-standing two-thirds requirement. If you live in Marin County, your cost of living is about to get hit from every direction. Most voters will see 3-6 new tax measures on their ballot. Some neighborhoods may see even more.

This isn’t business as usual. This is a TAX TSUNAMI.
