Governor Gavin Newsome signed Bill 73 to prevent any examination of ballots or election procedures by the Federal government

 First Newsome sought to disenfranchise Republicans in 5 districts through redistricting that went against the California Constitution.  So much for fair and balanced representation.

He signed the unconstitutional Bill 73 to prevent examination of the ballots and to verify that the voter was indeed entitled to register and vote.

I'm quite certain the counters are doing their best.  But it isn't just a matter or counting.  Odd patterns need to be examined.

There is still a great deal of fraud in voting, more with paper ballots.  Not with the counting, but in the ballot process itself. 

Ballots are stolen from people who aren't going to vote.

I had people ask me if they could have my blank voter ballot!  Others demanded to know if I was going to vote or not (this was prior to the ballots being mailed).  

Mail thievery is high in my area.

During the last two decades of elections, I have witnessed  registration fraud and voter fraud.  Proof?  No, but I know what I saw and heard.  It happens.

A decade ago, non-citizens were given FULL driver's licenses with NO indication they weren't citizens.  That license along with another form of ID enabled them to register to vote.  Who knows how many are still on the lists.  Do you really want foreign entities voting for benefits for themselves at our expense?🤔 

That's why the constitution limits voting to citizens... to prevent exploitation of the American people.

No matter who wins, the feds need to confirm the voters are legitimately entitled to vote.  That's what is being hidden.

What Have Democrats Done For San Diego?

 June 7, 2026

Remember how we rejected mileage tax that would track every mile you drove?

Well, our governor doesn't give up.  Because the vote in the last election didn't completely overturn all their ideas to get money, the mileage tax is back on the table.🙄

The Democrats tout what they've done for us.  Let's look at their effect locally.🧐

1.  Ocean water is SEVERELY polluted by both a broken huge major pipe and the continuation of ongoing release of in excess of 10 Million gallons daily of untreated sewage all heavily infected with viruses.🦠

1168 Navy seal candidates experienced illness and rashes from the contaminated ocean water.

Illness causing viruses can live in the ocean water up to 3 years.  Let me repeat that... 3 years. The polio🩼virus can live 2 months in ocean water.  It can cause permanent weakness or paralysis of arms or legs. 

Please stay out of the ocean water.  It doesn't discriminate by political party.😉

2. Health conditions brought in by immigrants is NOT being tracked.  The discovery came as a woman we employed years ago was diagnosed with a parasitic infection.  

When the San Diego Health Department was asked how many cases they'd had, they had no record of the diagnosis. Because of my medical/science background, the woman in charge engaged in a delving discussion.  

We both were surprised to learn they had no place in their database to track certain diseases! What this means is that when people come into the country without screening, they can knowingly or unknowingly bring diseases with them.

3.  Environmental studies for San Diego and high density housing meet the requirements San Diego has set for them, which are appalling incomplete.  

They don't address the true impact on health, reproductive health, social impact, aggression and emotional health, ecology, or especially the overall stress on our limited natural resources.  

As a result we have the WORST natural disaster in the U.S., which is ongoing and unmitigated.

We have an ecological disaster in all the high density areas.  

Water quality and amount appears to be declining. Reports from high-density area residents report highly inconsistent water pressure.  The time to fill a gallon cooking pot can take as much as 48 seconds, but 13 seconds at other times.  These types of impacts are not reported in environmental reports.

4. SDSU students voted San Diego water as terrible.  Repeated testing shows plant cutting thrive in rain water, live in filtered water, but falter and die with city water.  

5. Parking fees at Balboa Park.  They levied parking fees at the park, resulting in a sharp decline in visitors, major losses of revenue for the museums and food vendors at the park, losses for businesses in the area, and high costs in replacing 52 of the despised and sabotaged pay-station meters.  These types of decisions are putting us further in the debt hole. 

Tennessee Redistricting Arguments are Racist

 5/11/2026

Tennessee is in a redistricting battle.  The state is eliminating two Democratic districts by redrawing lines. I listened to the arguments of both sides.  While I believe it is critical that Democrats as a minority party have a voice in Tennessee to represent those who believe in socialism, even though I abhor that mindset of dependency, they gave a very racist argument.  

They claimed it diluted the "Black" vote!  They want an advantage based on their skin color.  That's unconstitutional.  Their racist argument demonstrates who is actually racist in our current society... it is those who constantly bring in race in an attempt to get their way.  

To eliminate racism, we have to eliminate all advantages given based on race.  They are arguing for racism. 😕  This after decades to end segregation, they are arguing they want it. Argue for beliefs, but not race and racism!  

Can you imagine the outcry if a district argued that "White" votes were being diluted by people of color?  While it is true in some areas, it is not a valid argument for redistricting.

They should stick to the fact that in the Tennessee constitution, redistricting was limited to every ten years.  Districting should not be to give one party an advantage over another, but to insure fairness in representation.  California is a perfect example of dreadful redistricting that went against the constitution, disenfranchised the majority of Republicans in the state, and was done as a self-serving act of a corrupt governor to stay in power.  Whether we agree or disagree with other views and opinions, we all deserve the right to be heard and our voice counted... in Tennessee as well.

San Diego Trash Can Fiasco

 San Diego, California, has major trash problems.  The cans are constantly damaged by the trash trucks and vandals; cans stolen or exchange stolen; and no spot for cans along the curb for collection due to high density housing.
The city solution?  Replace the existing cans with cans the same size, different color. 
Did that work? 🤔

Another trash rant:   The new San Diego trash cans (same size, different color) that cost a fortune are NO better than the old ones.😖 

Why did they think changing colors would fix anything?  🤔 

The same problems still exist.  

The fix was and will always be to assign the curb use rights to the properties associated with that curb.

The PROBLEMS:

ADUs and OVER-RENTED HOUSES constantly place their OVER-STUFFED BINS in front of our home and other people's properties, after blocking the curbs with the excess vehicles from the over-rented properties. 

Residents with steep driveways struggle to get bins down to the curb into the position in front of their homes, only to find their traditional trash can position occupied.

New bins are being damaged.

Additional broken glass and trash litters the sidewalks and streets after trash pick-up.

The curb use rights are NOT assigned to the associated properties of that curb.

The KNEE-JERK REACTION:

While the tempation is to dump their overstuffed cans on their property, that  would solve nothing but add to the trash and glass already strewn on our property, the sidewalks, the streets, and cause a war between neighbors.  

The options are to either block our driveway or move their bins over and block theirs.  Some people don't have that much strength to move their many bins and drag their own bins down... so guess whose driveway is blocked?  🙁

Stomp your foot and demand curb use rights be assigned to the associated properties of that curb.

THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION:  They need to fix the messes they've created. 

1. IMMEDIATELY assign the curb use rights to the associated properties of that curb.

2.  Stop building high-density housing, which compounds the problems.

3.  Slow down the trash trucks down, so they can pick up properly pick up cans without damaging them and pick up the trash they drop. If there aren't enough trucks, pay overtime to the drivers to complete the routes.

The old bins were removed and "recycled" (which cost money).  WHY? 

 
Many of the old bins in good shape could have been used for many things.  But, no.  The city destroyed them. And, why not let the homeowners keep the bins they paid out of pocket for to replace?  The city hasn't sufficiently answered these questions.  

Old cans should have been fixed.  Usually it was the lids.  
Scan the code on the can when the trash is collected to determine stolen cans. (My cans were exchange stolen multiple times, where someone would take my cared for cleaned can and replace it with a filthy broken can.)

Don't say it can't be done.  In this day and age with computers and apps, it is possible.

The people who genuinely try to  follow or fix the trashcan fiasco are being blocked or fired. 

How to handle a broken heart when the object of your affection finds another.

 

How to handle a broken heart when the object of your affection finds another.

If a heart flutters away to other fields of attraction, then it was not true love.
If you’ve shown the person who you are, your personality, values, and virtues and they lose interest, then it is not a match no matter how much either wants it. Both must want the match.
The best step is to remain friends, but understand they have moved on to someone who is a better match than you. It doesn’t mean that the new "someone" is a better person than you, only that the person you cared for believes they are a better match.
You say, “I understand you’ve found someone who is a better match for you and our relationship is over. But, I’d still like you as just a friend, nothing more.” Then stick to that. Don’t try to reignite romance.
My son did that and ended up with life-long good friends of both his prior match interest and their eventual spouse. As you get older, good friends are important.

How Successful Happy People Think

How Successful Happy People Think

This morning my friend and I played a game.  He was successful three times in a row.

I asked him, "Are you happy?"🤔

He replied, "Why should I be happy?"

"Because, you were successful."

"What do you mean? You won!"

"Which made me happy, so YOU made me happy.  Isn't that what we are supposed to do... make each other happy?  So, you were successful in making me happy.  That you were successful also makes me happy, so you can be double happy." 

I paused and let that sink into his brain.  

Ball Drone

 We got a new toy, a small ball drone, consisting of a wire mesh ball encircling 4 tiny propellors.After reading the manual, charged it as instructed until the light was fully green. I pushed the button, raised and lowered it quickly three times, and it buzzed to life.  Gently tossing it upwards, it ascended higher than expected, dropped a foot, then lifted.  It shot off to the side rapidly when Larry reached for it. 

Operating this was going to be tricky. Clearly it responds, but we are unsure if it had sensors or if it did, what the sensors reacted to.

After experimenting with how to manipulate its direction, we were able to play back and forth. Then the dogs discovered it! Good thing they are little dogs!  They bounced excitedly beneath it. It would fly off in an opposite direction depending on which side they jumped under it. When the drone hit a wall it would bounce off or bounce along for a distance.

 However, it could only stay airborne for minutes, ten at most.  It was great fun and a distrating break in the day's routine for the dogs.  After a few months, the drone didn't want to hold a charge and fly time dropped significantly.  It was a cool toy and a good start for future toy designs.
