WHY I’M RUNNING FOR CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE MY VISION FOR CALIFORNIA I have no intention of being a legislator that does nothing.  I welcome everyone UP THERE to join me and be a part of a broad coalition that is willing to work hard, call out EVERYONE that is a part of the problem and design a plan that gets ACTUAL RESULTS.  That’s how I did business in the private sector beginning in sales, that in time built up a business as a visionary entrepreneur and conquered an industry at an executive level.  Now I get the opportunity to do this, make California better than it’s been – one win at a time. California is too expensive for a decent family or a young couple with a meager salary to live.  It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find a job.  Once you do find a job, there’s no guarantee that it will last.  Every other day our favorite venues realize they can’t afford to stay in business.  They close-up shopand cut jobs that never come back.  Crime has run rampant in California.  We’ve all watched the “Smash and Grab” operations, COMMITTED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.  Our current Governor-in-Thief, Newsom has done nothing.  In fact, he literally fought AGAINST the effort to increase penalties, catch these thieves and hold them accountable.  The Democrats in charge are a Den of Thieves - these criminals stick together Trans-Drug “THERAPY” for our kids paid for by our tax-dollars?! By order of Newsom and School Administrators teachers were told not to share information with parents, that's crazy.   (It’s not therapy).  I call it what it is, it’s CHILD ABUSE  and pure evil. Gavin Newsom AND School Administrators STOLE the authority to hide all this information from parents – responsible parents are the only people that should have the authority and right to make these decisions and raise their children, NOT the State!  If there are exceptions to the rule they shouldn’t dictate public policy.  Newsom has placed our children in direct, irreparable harm FOR LIFE. This isn’t just the first time I’ve waded into this conversation. I have a history of calling these abusive acts of criminal enterprise by administrators, bureaucrats and politicians out on Radio. I hope to get the chance to call them out to their faces. Sincerely, Mike Netter Businessman, Taxpayer Advocate, Californian (I will not give up on California and restoring the California Dream that we deserve.)

Iran said on September 22 it would begin reverse engineering a recovered U.S. underwater drone. American officials describe the Dive LD as an older vehicle that malfunctioned, not proof of an Iranian technological breakthrough. The real question is what Tehran can learn without building an exact copy, and what this loss reveals about the support demands behind autonomous warfare. Cobalt Academy sells affordable Counter UAS products and delivers practical training shaped by cofounders forged in battle. This incident reinforces a readiness principle that applies beyond the maritime domain: equipment must be evaluated alongside training, maintenance, and the consequences of failure. Capability over hype means measuring sustained mission performance, not counting platforms. When assessing an unmanned system, is its purchase price getting more scrutiny than the burden of keeping it operational?

In case you missed this INSANITY - Dearborn's police chief bragged that his Michigan force went from 3 percent Arab to 45 percent, blesses hijabs in the justice system, and closed with praise to Allah. ⠀ Chief Issa Shahin said that when he joined Dearborn Police in 1998 the city was nearly 50 percent Arab American and the department was under 3 percent. He now puts the Arab American share of the force at 45 percent. ⠀ "It's a department that respects the dignity and rights of all individuals including the right to wear hijab even when facing the justice system," Shahin said. He ended the remarks with "Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah." ⠀ That phrase means all praise is due to Allah. He delivered it in uniform at a podium with an American flag on one side and a Lebanese flag on the other. ⠀ The department's latest public face is Officer Nour El-Zein, a midnight patrol officer shown in a hijab behind the wheel of a marked Dearborn cruiser. The city posted her profile as community policing and traffic stops. ⠀ Dearborn already put a hijab on a uniform in 2016 when Amal Chammout became an ordinance officer. Shahin now treats that covering as a rights victory even at booking and court. ⠀ Shahin is Dearborn's first Muslim police chief, appointed in 2022 by Mayor Abdullah Hammoud. He is the son of an Egyptian immigrant father and an Albanian mother, and he has publicly thanked his Palestinian American wife Deanna. ⠀ The department reports about 188 officers and says it is fully staffed. Shahin also sits as vice chair of the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards. ⠀ Dearborn is a city of about 110,000 and the densest Arab American community in the country. Census and local estimates put the Arab share at roughly half the city and the Muslim share around two in five residents. ⠀ Recruiting to "look like the city" is a choice. Closing an official speech in prayer language is another. The badge still has to answer to the Constitution, not to a demographic target.

SEPTEMBER 24, 1970... 📺THE ODD COUPLE made its television debut on ABC! Tony Randall was Felix Unger, the neat, fussy photographer, and Jack Klugman was Oscar Madison, the messy, easygoing sportswriter. Two divorced men sharing a New York City apartment was basically a recipe for nonstop arguments, misunderstandings and some great comedy. The first episode, “The Laundry Orgy,” found Oscar and Felix trying to arrange dates with the Pigeon sisters upstairs — while also trying to get out of their regular poker game. Naturally, neither plan went quite the way they expected. The series was based on Neil Simon's hit play and the 1968 movie, but Randall and Klugman made Felix and Oscar completely their own. Garry Marshall and Jerry Belson developed the TV version, which eventually ran for five seasons and 114 episodes. And that opening premise still sounds familiar today: one guy couldn't stand a mess, the other practically created them. Did you watch The Odd Couple when it originally aired — and were you more of an Oscar or a Felix?

RUBIO JUST SAID THE NUMBER THEY NEVER WANTED ON TV Americans work 40 years. They retire. Social Security: $800. $900. A thousand a month. Somebody who got here from Cuba three months ago: $1,500 a month. Marco Rubio said it out loud. “So imagine if you’ve been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28-year-old, able-bodied person who just got here. That’s real. That happens. That’s happening every day. That makes no sense.” You paid in. They landed. They beat your check. That’s not compassion. That’s a slap in the face with your own tax dollars.

California’s High-Speed Rail Authorityjust got caught red-handed. A new Inspector General report released last week confirms what many of us have suspected: the Authority continues to recklessly mismanage taxpayer money with little oversight. More than $2 million in consultant travel expenses were paid by the Rail Authority over just two fiscal years. Investigators reviewed roughly $1.15 million of that spending and found that nearly 60% — $680,500 — had never received required approval before the travel occurred. Investigators also found little explanation for why consultants needed to travel at all. Rideshare expenses were charged to a Planet Fitness, nightclub, tiki bar, Denver sushi restaurant, Washington, D.C. cigar lounge, and multiple private residences — along with other expenses investigators found were inadequately documented or unsupported. The Inspector General’s finding: Substantiated. This isn’t about partisan politics. It’s about accountability for your tax dollars. This is the pattern we see over and over in Sacramento — money flowing out with little accountability while Californians foot the bill

police dog trained to find deceased victims ended up finding a missing man alive. Mac, a spaniel with Police Scotland, joined a huge search across the Highlands after a vulnerable man disappeared. For five days, Mac and his handler searched through forests, steep slopes, brambles and fallen trees. They covered more than 18 miles of difficult terrain. Then, on the fifth day, Mac suddenly became intensely interested in an area near a fallen tree. Hidden beneath it was the missing man. Alive. He was extremely weak after spending days without food or water, but rescuers were able to get him to safety. What made it even more remarkable was that Mac wasn’t primarily trained to track living people. His usual role was locating deceased victims. A year later, Mac was honored at Crufts with a major police dog award for his actions. He was trained to search for those who have passed. Instead, he found someone who still had a chance to live

🚨 GOOD SAMARITAN CHARGED BY DEMOCRATS?! A Massachusetts man who was st*bbed after stepping in to protect an older woman says police now want to charge HIM with as$ault and battery! ⠀ Shane Vautour was riding the Route 22 MBTA bus home from his bartending job Sunday night when an older woman boarded and began greeting the other passengers. ⠀ Vautour says another man started berating her with racist and s*xual remarks. “He started screaming at her, and making racial remarks, s*xual remarks, things that just shouldn’t be said out loud, let alone to an older woman,” he said. ⠀ As Vautour prepared to exit near Humboldt Avenue and Seaver Street in Roxbury, he turned to confront the man about his behavior. ⠀ That is when Vautour says he saw the man staring at the woman with a knife concealed beside his right leg, below the seats and outside her line of sight. ⠀ “I hit him, he st*bbed me immediately,” Vautour said. “When he pulled it out, I immediately grabbed the knife because the first thing we were taught in martial arts is a knife in your hand can’t end up in your body.” ⠀ Vautour says he twisted the knife from the man’s hand, got off the bus and collapsed beside a rock wall. The attack left him with a roughly 3-inch wound to his abdomen, deep cuts to both hands and ligament damage that prevented him from bending two knuckles. ⠀ Another passenger with medical training rushed to help him. Vautour believes that stranger may have saved his life. ⠀ Transit Police located the other man after he ran from the bus and took him into custody. His name and the criminal complaint being sought against him have not been publicly released. ⠀ But after reviewing the bus surveillance footage, investigators told Vautour that they also intend to seek an as$ault and battery complaint against HIM. ⠀ Vautour says the camera was positioned halfway down the bus and could not capture what was happening below seat level. He also says the recording has no audio, meaning it does not document the alleged verbal harassment that preceded the confrontation. ⠀ “They won’t review witness statements, the video has no audio, so they have no way of confirming that he was yelling,” Vautour said. He also questioned why investigators had not spoken with the bus driver, whose information should be readily available. ⠀ Transit Police confirmed that they are seeking criminal complaints against both men but declined to discuss the quality of the surveillance footage. A complaint has not yet resulted in a conviction or finding of guilt against Vautour. ⠀ Police should review every camera angle, witness statement and piece of available evidence before treating the man who left that bus bleeding as the criminal.

SpaceX plans to convert a Starship upper stage into a permanent, standalone orbital space station. New NASA documentation reveals that the company proposes using the massive interior volume of its stainless steel spacecraft to create a long-term habitat in low Earth orbit. Rather than returning the vehicle to Earth for reuse, this specialized station concept would remain permanently in space after launch. The sheer size of Starship gives it over six hundred cubic meters of internal space, which offers a living and working volume comparable to a major portion of the International Space Station inside a single rocket hull. This proposal fits into NASA's broader strategy as the agency prepares for the eventual retirement of the International Space Station. By supporting commercial station concepts, NASA aims to transition its research activities to privately operated platforms while cutting the high operational costs of maintaining aging orbital infrastructure. The primary technical hurdle for turning a Starship into an orbital outpost involves repurposing its massive propellant tanks once they are emptied in orbit. Engineers would need to safely vent residual liquid methane and liquid oxygen before converting those empty volumes into pressurized, human-rated living areas and scientific research laboratories. Converting a single rocket hull directly into a fully functioning space station could significantly lower the cost of building large structures in orbit. Do you think converting spent rocket stages into permanent space stations is a practical path forward for orbital habitats?

A modified Xbox controller is helping U.S. forces operate invisible lasers targeting Iranian drones and cruise missiles in the Strait of Hormuz. The laser system allows operators to take out threats at a fraction of the cost of using more expensive weapons like missiles. One expert says Secretary of War Pete Hegseth shot down a drone with the system after just minutes of training during a demonstration in June.

🚨NEW: California has spent at least $11 billion subsidizing illegal immigrants through its welfare system in the last fiscal year, with noncitizens accessing health care, rental assistance, college grants, tax credits, and subsidized cell phones funded by taxpayers, according to the City Journal. A family of five in California with two illegal-immigrant parents, two U.S.-born children, and one illegal-immigrant grandparent can receive public services worth more than $100,000 annually, according to a City Journal investigation of four Southern California public-services offices.

Federal workers can be forced to miss paychecks during a government shutdown while members of Congress continue receiving their salaries. That imbalance has fueled growing frustration over accountability in Washington. Republicans have introduced the “No Work, No Pay Act,” built around a straightforward principle: if Congress cannot keep the government funded and operating, lawmakers should not continue collecting their pay as though nothing happened. The message is simple—government shutdowns should not mean ordinary federal employees bear the financial burden while elected officials remain protected from the consequences. If lawmakers are responsible for reaching agreements, passing funding bills, and keeping the government functioning, then they should also face meaningful consequences when those responsibilities are not fulfilled. “No work, no pay” puts the focus directly where many Americans believe it belongs: accountability for the people making the decisions. Taxpayers expect their elected representatives to do their jobs. If government workers can go without pay during a shutdown, why should members of Congress be treated differently? That is the debate this legislation puts front and center: should lawmakers continue collecting taxpayer-funded salaries when they fail to keep the government open?
