So let me get this ..... You are prohibited from using tax dollars for food assistance on soda pop, candy and other non-essentials. If you are part of the radical Left with statements that have little science except "I feel" you get this money from taxpayers wallets?
The suit states "The suit argued that the program unconstitutionally distributed taxpayer funds by prioritizing participants based on race, sex, and transgender status, violating equal protection provisions under the California Constitution." Are not applications for the UC and CSU system stopped from using "special" status that is prejudice against the average Joe?
Would it not be interesting to get a statement from Gregg Hart and Pro-tem Limon as their positions on this type of graft?
Remember folks you pay for government types. It is your tax dollars that are being used for deficit spending. (don't get it? deficit spending results in increased taxes)
What a joke. You want a certain lifestyle? Get a job.
Don't know whether to admonish Mr. Zepke for this item or laugh all day long for him reporting this. (nice piece - I think)
Insanity. I’m so use to seeing this in California that nothing surprises me. I believe that California is finally waking up to this insanity. The only way to get California back is to elect people who are not associated with any of these democrats that are in office. We have to clean house right down to our underwear. Then start from scratch to rebuild the California that I moved to in 1968.
Thank you for reminding us of the San Francisco Circus and freak show, filled to the brim with grifters, con artists and clowns. This “Gift” con is nothing more than a racist, bigoted attempt to favor one group of mentally disturbed individuals over others in need, all at taxpayer expense. Not withstanding its blatant illegality and unconstitutionality, it reeks with favoritism based solely on sexual behavior.
And they would like us to believe that their rainbow flag represents “inclusion.”
BTW, where is our Attorney General, Bonta in all of this? Oh that’s right, he currently busy taking on the US Postal Service over maintaining California’s crooked balloting scam.
AG Bonta and his Assembly Rep wife Bonta are busy destroying Nick Shirley’s exposure of fraud. Who is taking this Stop Nick Shirley law to court to be ruled Constitutionally unlawful?
The Democrat carousel of failure begins in grade school where children are introduced to ideas of gender fluidity and normalization of transexulaity. In adulthood, transgenders experience significantly lower income and higher rates of mental illness. In all ways, public education under the stewardship of the Democrat teachers union has failed our children for decades preparing them not for success but rather for a life of failure and dependence. The GIFT program benefited an insignificant fraction of the disinfranchised but served as a signal to Democrat voters that the Democrat party is here to help. We get you, vote Democrat.
I believe the city of Stockton also ran a guaranteed income program a few years back, but less discriminatory in its qualification .Findings - need to check, but I think the recipients used the money mainly to buy more cigarettes. No other over-riding positive outcomes were recorded.
Finland also ran a general universal basic income program recently too - again, no findings that made it worth while to continue. Good to explore both these programs for the details and their later follow-ups.
Michael Shallenberger concluded in his survey of the SF vagrant problems in San Fransicko , successful aid programs need both carrots and sticks.
This article confirms again, CA our country and county are doomed if ‘We The Voters’ allow continued corruption and fraud by our inaction. In Santa Barbara County, EVERY citizen must actively support and donate now to electible Bob Smith for Congress D-24. Bob has proven himself to be an exceptional, ethical, transparent determined leader throughout his life from commanding 100,000 in the Navy to Bob’s post retirement working in DC on highest priority national security issues while concurrently dedicating himself to a victory plan that requires us to execute. We are targets with Space Force Lompoc and Port Hueneme Ventura in D-24. Think China, North Korea and reality. WHY, why, why are too many locals complicit and passive? OBSERVE Salud in the final two months. Salud is posturing with Democrat power players to become ‘socially acceptable to moderates’: a wolf in sheep clothing to capture the 2O% registered No Party Preference voters essential to electing Bob Smith. Democrats know well too many local GOPs plus NPPs will donate and vote for ranked Congressional socialist Salud because we are not united voters to deliver this critically important Bob Smith Victory. Open your wallet, budget time weekly to deliver votes for Bob Smith. There’s only 68 days to go. https://bobsmithforcongress.com/
Come to Timbers this Saturday 11:30-2: connect with Bob Smith.

As of May 18, 2026, California’s 24th Congressional District had:
92,144 No Party Preference voters 20.22% of all registered voters
Steve Hilton is a bad choice since he’s a maga supporter and endorsed by the orange maga maggot Becerra is no better either We need someone that is a moderate with a vision for a “real” better California The current leadership must go and be held accountable for all the disappearing funds
FD: The 2024 RNC Convention laid out the Trump agenda voters overwhelmingly supported by voters, including 90% of all counties across America. What you call MAGA with a sneer consisted of Make America Safe, Healthy, Prosperous and Great Again.
Good time for you to review the 2024 RNC platform and start your check list of promises made and promise kept. Thank you President Trump. Thank you especially for plowing past the past two years of constant Democrat obstruction, lies and threats to your personal safety and targeting everyone around you.
There is nothing to fear in any of the platform items sent out in MAGA-2024. The people spoke in 2024, they wanted it too. Perhaps you could offer more details instead of tiresome partisan insults, FD? Orangemanbad carries no traction.
MAGA platform set out in 20 easy to read points - use them to identify your major concerns.
Promise made, promises kept, promises made, promises still pending. Not bad for just two years running daily Democrat interference, a balky Congress, a weaponized judiciary, a hostile and corrupt MSM and an embedded Democrat and unionized deep state that cannot be fired. What we really have today is the People vs the Unionized Deep State (D).
So FD, if you’re looking for a proven American acculturated leader with a “real” plan — which is greater than a simple vision— to better our lives, get involved in the campaign to elect Bob Smith. See you Saturday at Timbers. https://bobsmithforcongress.com/.
We must stop voting for any Democrat as per this article. Otherwise, we are doomed.
