Ohio: A few days before the inauguration, Ohio’s Republican Governor Mike DeWine appointed lieutenant governor, Jon Husted, to the Senate seat vacated by Vice President JD Vance. Husted had been expected to run for governor in 2026. Now it appears that Ohio resident Vivek Ramaswamy will announce he will run for governor. This would mean that Ramaswamy would not co-manage the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Elon Musk. Susan Daniels has a story to share about her interactions with Husted. How I Got Screwed Over by the Ohio Secretary of State (Who Gov. Mike DeWine Just Named to Replace Vance) by Susan Daniels. =
California: Don’t let Governor Gavin Newsom’s asinine comments confuse you. California has money—lots of money. However, radical Democrats choose to spend it on woke programs as well as ILLEGAL ALIENS.
California leaders will scream that they are forced to spend money on illegals, but the truth is that Uncle Sam helps, too. According to The Center Square: The federal government has allocated $159 million in FEMA funding to “provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants” in California since 2023, according to federal grants.
Don’t let Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s asinine comments confuse you. Los Angeles has money—lots of money. The city’s 2024-2025 fiscal year budget is a whopping $12.8 BILLION. Yet, she took $17 MILLION from the fire department’s budget. Just a week before the massive fires and her trip to Ghana, Bass reportedly sought another $49 MILLION reduction from the LA Fire Department. When the fires started roaring through Los Angeles, there were 100 fire trucks sitting in a maintenance yard waiting to be repaired. How fast can you say DEI?
Amazon Delivers Sanity: In mid-December, Amazon’s Vice President of Inclusive Experiences and Technology announced that the company would be phasing out “outdated programs and materials.” Like all the other national and international companies that are getting rid of insane DEI policies, Amazon will still focus on inclusivity. But here’s a crazy idea … they will also focus on MERIT!
This is a big deal since Amazon is the nation’s second-largest private employer behind Walmart. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee.
Let’s be realistic—many companies rolling back or getting rid of DEI programs would probably be expanding them if Kamala Harris had won the election. But we will take our wins as we can get them.

The Right Reverend Wrong: She is The Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, which is part of Washington National Cathedral. After her actions on January 21, perhaps she should be called The Wrong Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde.
The Trump administration should have known Rev. Wrong’s leftist anti-Trump biases and found another church for the inaugural prayer service. Instead of a nonpartisan sermon, Rev. Wrong kvetched about how law-abiding Americans should ignore those who break our laws and ILLEGALLY enter the United States. Rev. Wrong lectured about ILLEGAL ALIENS who pick our crops and clean our office buildings. But like so many mentally deficient progressives, Rev. Wrong ignored the ILLEGAL ALIENS who rape, kill, and commit violent crimes against American citizens.
Rev. Wrong needs to read the Bible. God created man and woman. God didn’t say to Adam and Eve, “If you don’t like your gender, you can pick from dozens of others.”
