You have to ask yourself if the @wsj.com reporting deliberately omits significant facts offering a contrary view of their angle, or if the reporting is just substandard.

Prop 19 is well known & is designed to offset the hold-until-you-die scenario the WSJ writes about. Yet, not a word mentioned.

In California, About the Only Way to Get a House Is to Inherit One Nearly one out of every five property transfers last year was made through inheritance, a record for the state and double the national share.

The @wsj.com's clear CA bias = inaccurate stories.🙄

"Tax policies that encourage owners to avoid selling their houses before they die."

REALITY: Prop 19 *motivates* selling by allowing older owners (me 😆) to sell & buy a new home but keep my original lower prop taxes. www.wsj.com/economy/hous...

MAGA elected a leader who promised to keep us out of armed conflicts around the world. What ignorant idiots.

Trump/MAGA’s previous claims to have completely obliterated Iran’s nuclear arsenal last June were lies? 🙄

Wake up MAGA. The dude is a war monger diverting attention from Epstein & economy.

When major winter storms slam Mammoth as they do every year, alternative modes of getting around is advised as the mountain is literally in the clouds and visibility nil.

Two Civil Rights giants who now share the date of Feb 17th.

Jim Brown was born today in 1936.
Jesse Jackson died today in 2026.

Both stood up during the Civil Rights era. Brown emphasized economic independence & Jackson political empowerment.

They share 🇺🇸's Civil Rights history.
#jessejackson

Awoke to the news that Reverend Jesse Jackson, the iconic preacher, civil rights leader and presidential candidate, passed away at 84. RIP, Rev Jackson. 🙏

Back where I need to be.

Despite Epstein’s Toxicity, Steve Bannon Stood by Him, Texts Indicate

MAGA is a cult who accept that their leaders like Bannon are big time pedophile protectors. In his own words, Bannon offers to help Epstein push back against the perception of him being a pedophile. Why? The allegations and public knowledge were already out there.

The GOP wants you to believe #affordability is a hoax. No, it's not and these three headlines should alarm everyone.

Trump's economy benefits the wealthy and big corporations (and farmers who got welfare checks due to Trump's tariffs), but average Americans are getting screwed. #economy #truth

Rome's iconic is so beautiful with the umbrella pines.

Unfortunately, they could soon disappear as the city moves to chop down the majestic trees for public safety reasons after several fell. #italy #rome #umbrellapines #travel #wanderlust #photography

Washington Post Begins Laying Off More Than 300 Journalists

Another sad day for the profession and the Washington Post. A healthy free press is required for a functional democracy & every loss chips away at it.

"Layoffs that are expected to decimate the organization’s sports, local news and international coverage."

My average images are licensed more often than my more “stylistic.” Won’t complain, just how it works. 🤷‍♂️

Opinion | Kevin Warsh Is the Right Choice for the Fed He knows where the central bank has gone wrong and how to fix it.

Bending facts is main reason I'm dumping my @wsj.com subscription.

"They kept rates too low for too long in the 2000s, contributing to the housing boom and bust."🙄

No. Wall Street deregulation under GOP led to mortgage fraud, led to housing collapse & great recession. www.wsj.com/opinion/kevi...

Endless stories in NYT & WSJ about how f***ed up CA is. Fox (it's not) News prides itself on deriding everything Californian. Makes me laugh.

No doubt, it's expensive, as are most beautiful parts of the world with great food, culture & great climate.

78 degree beach day today. #californialove 😍😎

Washington Post Plans Cuts to Reshape Newsroom

I'm so accustomed to this but it still sucks every time. Possibly another 200 newsroom cuts with the emphasis likely on sports and international.

Like I said over a decade ago, it's a freelance business, but without budgets, who will hire them? #journalism www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/b...

This is what #CBP is trained to do; apprehend ppl trying to enter illegally, track migrants circumventing the border, deportations, etc. They're *not* trained in deescalation, civil unrest or serving search warrants on homes/businesses deep into American cities. #stayinyourlane #immigration

Opinion | Mass Deportation by the Numbers ICE arrests are growing but fewer have a criminal history.

Folks, when Trump and his goons Miller, Noem & Patel are getting lambasted by the very conservative WSJ editorial board for a draconian policy combined with ridiculous "you didn't see what you saw" lies, well you know it's bad. www.wsj.com/opinion/mass...

Honestly, tell me Greg Bovino isn't Sean Penn in "One Battle After Another"! Dude looks and acts like him.

The First Three Weeks of the Year Will Reshape the World From Davos to Minneapolis, the events of this month have the potential to profoundly change the political and economic landscape for years to come.

The most significant part of this Wall Street Journal article is the telling photo. Every *honest* person in the world would look at this & recognize an aging, confused grandpa. He repeatedly confused Iceland & Greenland at Davos while looking this way. He's not there. www.wsj.com/world/asia/t...

White House posts an altered photo of Minnesota protester's arrest to make it look like she was crying The image, which an expert said was likely altered with AI, sparked backlash online. The White House doubled down, saying, "The memes will continue."

Never trust a single thing this administration says or posts. They're proud of lying to Americans. After being caught issuing an AI altered photo, they said it was a meme (uh, no) & "the memes will continue."

Sadly, the MAGA cult will always drink their Kool Aid.. www.cbsnews.com/news/white-h...

Loved watching Tai Chi while at the gym today. Another beautiful San Diego winter day! 🌞

Beautiful 65 degree night at the San Diego Rodeo. 🤠

The reality is that #affordability is the defining issue today. From housing to red meat, from coffee to lettuce and fish, prices are going up despite Trump's promise to lower prices on "day one."

📸 #sandiego new homes under construction #housing #realestate

I've always had to pay attention to #inflation as a freelancer.

Trump is bragging about how great these numbers are. His born-with-a-gold-spoon mentality means he thinks #affordability is higher food prices but lower on tvs. He's as senile as Biden was. (graph from Wall Street Journal)

The new community we moved into in San Diego has multiple catch basins designed to capture and replenish a vital resource. Love it!

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says U.S. capture of Maduro is not a war against Venezuela The U.S. secretary of state said conversations about holding elections in Venezuela are "premature."

Trump admin says they're "at war against drug trafficking, not Venezuela." 🤔

Trump just pardoned the president of Honduras who was serving US prison time after being convicted of MASSIVE drug trafficking & fed drug agents are taken off cases to work immigration. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

It’s pretty amazing how quickly (and often) Republicans can figure out how to invade a foreign country for oil but can’t figure out how to get Americans affordable healthcare.
