President Trump looking at cutting federal funds for California
President Donald Trump has reportedly ordered his administration to review what kind of federal funding, given to California, could be cut. Terminating grants towards the University of California and California State University systems are being considered. Zoe Lofgren, a California representative, responded to these reports by accusing Trump of being a bully. Lofgren also said that Trump was doing this because California did not vote for him and that Lofgren will fight back.
From CNN:
“No taxpayer should be forced to fund the demise of our country,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement Friday afternoon, criticizing California for its energy, immigration and other policies. “No final decisions, however, on any potential future action by the Administration have been made, and any discussion suggesting otherwise should be considered pure speculation.”
Singling out one state for massive cuts would be an unusual move, but President Donald Trump has long made Democratic-led California a target.
Just last month, he threatened to withhold federal funding from California over a transgender athlete’s participation in a sporting event — the latest example of the president trying to use funding as leverage to enact his agenda. The administration recently cut $126.4 million in flood prevention funding projects, and Trump repeatedly went after the state’s handling of devastating wildfires earlier this year. The president and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have also publicly feuded for years.
Two sources said that the administration is targeting California universities over alleged antisemitism on campus, an issue the schools have made efforts to address over the past year. The administration has already taken steps to punish Harvard and Columbia universities for similar reasons.
The UC system is the state’s third largest employer, and both systems are major engines of research in the biotechnology and medical fields, among others.

Socialism fails because you eventually run out of other people’s money…
Stop quoting bumper stickers you dumb fuck.
California is not socialist and contributes far more in federal revenue than it gets back in federal spending.
This even when the government spends far more than it gets.
In fact most red states receive more than they contribute.
Without California this country would collapse economically.
She complains about another person reciting a factually correct bumper sticker while quoting WaPo, NYT, HuffPo and Democrat politicians verbatim.
But yeah, Cali is great…
Hahahahahahahahaha…..thank you once again for enlightening us with your wisdom.
So many of the states who separated themselves from the Union because of slavery* are now slaves to the Union?
Mmmmm, something to ponder.
*not here to argue this point.
That’s not from a bumper sticker; it was a quote from [possibly] Winston Churchill. It has also been said by Margaret Thatcher [late PM of Great Britain]. It is a sentiment I happen to agree with, and served to prevent from taking over my country. I will continue to do so until I die of natural causes, or some socialist Son-of-a-bitch manages to put enough bullets through me.
“Stop quoting bumper stickers you dumb fuck.”
It’s a great sticker and absolutely true.
California is a failed socialist state that has spent themselves into oblivion. California’s employee retirement plan alone is bankrupting the state. Your minimum wage laws are destroying businesses. You’ve created a state full of people that live off the state and contribute nothing. You are indoctrinated and blind.
Hey Major Dumbfuck McMoonbat, if California is so great, then how about its high speed rail boondoggle which is years and billions of dollars behind? How about the other manifold failures of its Government?
What ever are you talking about?

California spends far more than it takes in, whatever the source. Economically unsustainable.
Did you not do the “they came for the immigrants”? So who is the dumb fuck.
Ehh…
YOU CANNOT spell “DOUCHE” without “CHE”, that alone got me a 30-day sentence in Farcebook jail!
I need to join Facebook for reasons just like that.
Wasn’t it California, who just a year or so ago floated the idea of taxing ( former) residents after they left the state of California on future earnings earned elsewhere?
Why, yes, the government of Gavin Newscum floated that very idea.
Thought so. Thanks for backing up my memory recall skills.
I left 4 years ago and my wife retired after 25 years we took our 150, 000 plus and ran. Fuck California,
Well, Newsom did say he was considering withholding tax monies that were due to the federal government.
Sounds like they’re flush with cash, so let them finance themselves. Only federal interstate highway money for maintenance, no new builds, no added lanes to include reclassifiing state highways to interstates.
Let them finance their own high speed rail system and other projects they want to implement.
Every state needs a high speed rail line…that goes nowhere. “…accusing Trump of being a bully…” Hell, he IS a bully…and Bully for him! spapos showing up to screech ORANGE MAN BAD in 5.4.3.2..
On their own they will be a banana Republic in ten minutes.
They’ve got a 15 minute head start.
Governor Gavin Nuisance says we need a high speed rail system because Europe and Japan have them. If they had herpes would we want them too?
The existing high speed rails fill a need; a need for rich folks to get where they’re going. The average Californian needs high speed rail as much as they need a another hole in their purses for the demonrats to suck out more of our money. When I was in Japan the fares on high speed rail were out of what I could pay for train fare and I rode the trains quite a lot. Of course that was over 40 years ago and, I freely admit, I have no idea what it costs now.
If high speed rail could make money, some private train company would have built it years ago.
Speaking of their so-called high speed rail system, I wonder how much of the money wasted on it so far has made it to the pockets of Newsom, Pelosi and others? IMO the whole boondoggle reeks of corruption!
Maybe they saw Bostons big dig project and thought, hey, that gives us an idea.
The difference being, Boston finished their project, even at cost/time overrun iirc.
Bet their donors are on the grift for this absurd project. In another ten years, there still won’t be any such train service, their donor buddies will have collected millions.
According to MAJ Moonbat, California contributes more than any other state
How about the rioting going on, done mainly by illegal aliens? Oh yeah, “peaceful protests”, my ass, that shit is an insurrection!
Fuck California. Run by idiots with a death wish for themselves and the nation.
Like Trump or hate him— California is run by the sleaziest of politicians. They took a sledgehammer, dynamite and fire to a once gorgeous state that was easy to live in.
California contributes more in federal revenue than it gets in federal spending.
Why don’t we just withhold spending on all the taker states? Most of which are red states run by idiots and sleazy politicians that constantly convince their dumb fuck constituents to vote against their own interests.
I’m in a very (unfortunately) blue state that was also once beautiful and affordable in all cities/regions — kinda like California.
We had it all till Rowland shot himself in the fucking face and ruined it for both his future and ours.
Cali has nearly 40 million people, and going down, is why it “contributes” more, duh. Its got 8 MILLION more people than Texas, but is not run really is well. From Google AI Overview ‘California is facing a substantial budget deficit. Governor Gavin Newsom recently announced a revised budget proposal that includes an additional $12 billion deficit. This comes on top of a previously agreed-upon $27.3 billion in remedies to cover an initial deficit. The overall deficit is estimated to be around $58 billion.’
But somehow, the most TAXED State is going broke? Hmm…
There you go with facts again.
Math is different in California.
Maff iz hard.
Its so cool to see you again and again show your level of professionalism by continuing to cast dispersions at people on this board by the use of your foul language.
“Most of which are red states run by idiots and sleazy politicians that constantly convince their dumb fuck constituents to vote against their own interests.”
Compared to blue states where people vote in their own self-interests and their elected officials fail to provide anything promised? Smart people vote in the best interest of their state and country, not for “free shit”.
Blue state sh*thole… like Democrats want.
They pissed right now in California Government. Trump shut down their riot and now they are having a temper tantrum.
Trump says; “you spit, we hit”
Trump didn’t shut anything down.
He escalated.
Is Fox telling you he shut it down?
Yup…
All those burning Waymo cars are Trump’s fault. I guess ICE started throwing bricks at passing cars? All those CHP cruisers just spontaneously combusted? I guess if thousand of people were burning cars, hurling bricks at the police, and waving American flags in Mexico City the local politicians would solve the problem by making them Mexican citizens, right? Sweetie, you just regurgitate Lame-Stream media.
Um….what did he escalate? I thought you said these were peaceful protests?
The only justification for sending in the NG is because of lawless activity that endangers the public.
That must mean that these protests are not actually all that peaceful.
Aside from that, what are these people protesting?
Isn’t it against federal law to enter this country without going through customs? Didn’t the people who are being arrested not do this? Are these people not in this country illegally? Isn’t it within the law to take these people into custody and remove them from this country?
To say they are not criminals is to lie. They broke the law by entering the country illegally. That makes them criminals by definition.
As I understand it, the ones who have been arrested in these raids have already been convicted of some rather horrid crimes against humanity. Due process has already been served. Why they are not in prison is beyond comprehension. That a group of people would actually protest these felons being rounded up and jailed is even more confounding. That they would engage in violent, or VILE behavior against law enforcement officers goes beyond tolerance. It is time to raise the stakes, engage stronger tactics, and put a stop to this NOW.
Trump escalated the peaceful protests. Try to keep up.
Crap. Forgot the snark emoji thingy.
Sorry.
Every reputable news agency says that. And by reputable, I do not mean NBC, CBS, ABC, or CNN.
Better pack your medical bag and get moving.
The Coward Commie will never be on the front line, he leads from the rear. He can agitate and incite but he will NEVER toss a brick or a maltov.
Major Moonbat aka Commissar CLAIMS to be a trained Medic with antifapiss, but does his medical knowledge go any farther than putting lavender oil on a supposed wound?
Guarantee he’s aligned more than one chakra anally.
Sorry for the mental image.
Perhaps putting tulips on a swollen organ.
That usually reduces swelling.
I got no issue with the federal government closing the check book on California (I was a 27-year resident. I escaped the summer of ’22). In the words of W.T. Sherman, Make’m howl! Then curb stomp the bunch.
Californian contributes more in federal revenue than it gets in federal spending.
This country would be fucked without California.
Also, nobody noticed you leave. You just have not added anything of value.
And your replies/ opinions add no value regardless of subject matter.
Besides produce and tech, what has California produced that would be bad for the rest of us. Tech can move, so that leaves produce.
What else please.
Commi-she-ar, how many times are you going to post the same shit? So lame.
I accept these terms. No take-backs.
Aaaand what exactly do YOU add to California’s value?
Apparently, he fancies himself a private emergency medical provider.
“This country would be fucked without California.
Let’s play fuck around and find out, shall we?
I wonder if you left would any of us notice, since you do not add anything of value.
“ Californian contributes more in federal revenue than it gets in federal spending.” You keep saying this,,,every post on this thread. Just because you keep saying it doesn’t make it true!
“This country would be fucked without California.”
This country is Fd with California! There, I fixed it.
“Also, nobody noticed you leave. You just have not added anything of value”. If the people of CA don’t miss those that are leaving, why the interest in taxing FORMER residents? Contributing citizens ARE missed, or will be!
Anybody recognize this flag?
Also, remember back when Venezuelan’s planted their flag
upon crossing our southern border? I think I asked then if that wasn’t an unspoken message to the powers that be that they were in place awaiting orders.

Turning LA into Caracas since January 2021, almost there.
Burkina Faso[a] is a landlocked country in West Africa, bordered by Mali to the northwest, Niger to the northeast, Benin to the southeast, Togo and Ghana to the south, and Ivory Coast to the southwest…
In other words, its another 3rd world shit hole. They came to the Greatest Country in the World to try and make it like the shit hole back home. Agent Smith was right about some people…
California is better than the other states because they pay more in tax dollars than they get back from the Federal government. This highly touted report from CNN written by Paul Krugman says so.
Http/report.fuq.u
Also the LAPD responded to the riot within 38 minutes, which is twice as fast as they respond to a rape in progress call (ask me how I know). The whole riot is Trump’s fault for trying to enforce immigration law. These aren’t even real laws.
LOVE your URL suffix, “.fuq.u”.
I just heard Newsome on the TV say that “Trump had lost it” and “I saw him trip the other day”.
He has it all out of order. He was supposed to accuse Trump of dementia before Biden was caught.
Trump does have dementia.
That is why the WhiteHouse.Gov removed all the archive of transcripts of his speeches and public interviews and is no longer archiving new ones.
He is even more rambling and incoherent than ever.
And the right actually sees fewer of his speeches than the left. Right wing media has been hiding and only showing clips for years so the right doesn’t see what an idiot he is.
Now he is an idiot with dementia.
Wow, you are unbelievably fucking vapid…
Please go away
He won’t. He throws temper tantrums, calls people names because we just won’t listen to him, and disappears for a few but he keeps coming back
Yeah, I know his MO. I occasionally yield my normally calm demeanor and sink to his level. I do try to be polite when I ask him to leave…
We’re all he’s got. The sad bastard.
He’s our rented mule. Continue beating.
Trump has dementia and he is also on Epsteins list. 2 claims you have made in the last week yet provided no links to.
Trump lives rent free in your head, and you don’t know how to evict him.
DJT was only going to do about half of his first term in Office before they got rid of him and threw him in prison, he couldn’t quit screeching that back then either.
Forgot about that.
Still waiting for any of his predictions to come true.
I especially like his prediction that he would never comment on TAH again.
Oh noes!!!! What will do now!!!! If only Al Gore would invent the internet and we could see all of his speeches in one place.
https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/search/
You are welcome tiny penis. Note that they are without all the crossing out and explanations from Karine that marked every single thing Biden ever said. Mmmm…. The problem here is the same people that pretended Biden was tip top are now trying to pretend that Trump isn’t.
Nobody really believed that Biden was ok and nobody is really going to believe that Trump has dementia. We know what we see.
The transcript is gone, not the speeches. People can read tone into text, but the tone of a speaker is far more difficult to take out of context. For example, a woman playfully saying “No, don’t, stop it” reads as “No. Don’t. Stop it.” See the difference?
Well, if true, you can thank the main stream left wing media for 4 years of training on how to do it!
Oh look, here is Trump doing a one on one interview while walking around without bumping into things and falling down. Not even a teleprompter present. Looks and sounds 100% of sound mind to me. Actually able to talk about things and the WH hasn’t had to issue any retractions or explanations. He didn’t even talk to any imaginary people.

Anthony Fauci was good at his job and gave sound advice…
California contributes more in federal revenue than it gets back in federal expenditures.
And this despite the federal government deficit spending more than a trillion dollars a year.
If the President starts withholding funds, more and more Californians will withhold taxes. And more and more Californians will support secession.
Trump is genuinely trying to destroy the United States. How the fuck do you all not get that?
We already are no longer a superpower because of this malignant fuck. He turned us against allies we have had for 100 years. Destroying American soft power and alliances for a generation.
And he started a trade war with the world, dooming our economy. He even violated his own treaties and trade deals. Calling his own deals from his first administration “bad deals” because he knows his MAGA base is too stupid to realize some of the deals we deals he made.
It will take a generation to repair some of the damage and there is no way we will be a superpower again in our lifetimes.
We even voted with Russia and North Korea in the UN against our NATO allies for Christ’s sake. And Trump is pro-Russia in the Russo-Ukrainian war. Blaming Ukraine, blaming NATo, and demanding Ukraine agree to all Russian demands.
Wake the fuck up!!!!
Lars, you off your meds again?
Meds…must be out of Midol. She’s really got this Cali contributes more up her ass. Something like 4 or 5 posts with the same thing. Cali is not going anywhere. Newsome is all wind an smoke. He’s dreaming of the White House while is state goes broke and literally burns to the ground.
Was he ever on any in the first place?
No, you.
Go ahead. Secede. I triple-dog dare ya.
The big problem (for them) is if Cali did secede, the productive red portions of the state would do the same from Cali, and what is left would be Hollywood and homeless..
I’m good with that. We just build a big, beautiful wall, it’ll be the best ever, ask anyone…
Like the one in “Escape from New York.”
From what I’ve heard, LA, San Foo-foo and Sacramento contain the liberal populace that make all of the statewide decisions there, much like how Chicago and Cook County do the same for Illinois!
Madison and St. Clair counties are southern Illinois version of Cook County, but with a more sane, educated populace.
From Jackson county years ago, it’s still conservative. The coal mine unions fucked people over.
Is this before or after they deduct their incredibly high state income tax from their federal taxes? I’m willing to bet it’s the other way around.
I see somebody had your number before you even posted it lmfao.
If California is truly that great, then why the continuing exodus of businesses from there?
Right now in California, the best business to be in is owning a U-Haul franchise.
Mmmmyeah true, taking a U-Haul into California is cheap, but taking one OUT of there will cost you some very serious dinero!!!
Can’t even fact check that. So please show:
Where Trump blamed NATO for war in Ukraine
Trump demands Ukraine agrees to all Russian demands
The US is no longer a superpower and how Trump did that in five months.
All/ any of the allies he has turned against the US
How California sends more money to the Fed than they get back
I’ll wait, but we all know it is lies.
Trump blamed Biden for the war in Ukraine. Biden banned LNG exports. Biden also approved NORD stream. LNG, what Europe uses for heat. Europe then was forced to turn on the Russian spigot. Because their eco-options couldn’t keep up.
So, if you stretch really, really hard, Trump blamed Europe.
That is the closest to a factual statement it has made. The fact it is very far from truth or reality is irrelevant. As is this disgrace to the uniform it once wore.
Trump did say that part of the reason that they invaded was because the Ukraine was talking about joining NATO. No kidding? That is one of the reasons Putin mentioned for the invasion. So yeah, not only did Trump say it but was also 100% true.
That is just the Commie party line, along with many other lies.
Hey, Lars?
Who is funding those paid protesters, huh?

Prepare, the failed organizer, will shortly arrive to call you numerous 4-letter words to start, then subject all of us to yet another of his demented, factless tirades.
I try to read his shtick and not get aggrevated, but he does make it difficult.
Yeah, they’re being resupplied like college campuses were during their pro-Hamas demonstrations – all the same color of tents and such. This time it’s riot gear.
I 100% support California secession!!!!
Please California,,please secede!!
Cut ’em off.
People really pay attention when you take away their income.
Declare this to be an invasion by a foreign agency (Mexico’s president did encourage this) and bring the full weight of the law down on their heads.
First the national Guard, then Marines, and now…
Funny part about these el cono is they grew in the States and their parents an/or grand parents escaped Mexico. They believe in a version of Mexico that is more like Wakanda with low-riders. Its so bad South-of-the Border that number of politicians assassinated during the last election cycle has its own Wikipedia page.

Waving the flag of a nation packed with lawless animals and inept leaders.
Mexico (and most of Central America) are complete shitholes. If they sank into the sea I’d rejoice.
I just had a thought (and yet, it hurt, as it involved SPAPOS).
I just wondered if SPAPOS is an early Beta generation defective AI Chat GPT that has run amok, it won’t shut up, and you can’t turn it off.
Remember, GIGO. Who were the original programmers?
That’s why SPAPOS spouts such inanities and outright lies.
It would be nice to find the source computer and destroy it with fire, then piss on the ashes, but I’m sure that by now it’s distributed itself over many platforms.
AI would use more resources and wouldn’t constantly regurgitate the same approved talking points ad nauseum. Commissar is an indoctrinated one-trick pony with limited intelligence and delusions of adequacy.
Welcome back my Conservative friend Commissar with your Socialist Shtick act…
The more he acts the more valid this theory becomes.
