There are many meanings to the phrase May Day.  Our modern day leftist use it to support communism.  In war it was used to signify an emergency.  As California moves further left the emergency is real.  For every proposition on the ballot to protect proposition 13 the legislature creates propositions to defeat it.  A retired couple who bought their home in Montana in 2005 out the hard way what unlimited property taxes can do to home ownership.  Their 2005 property tax bill was $2,700.  Their 2026 property tax bill is $58,000!  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

California is repeatedly suing the Trump administration for trying to increase gas supplies in California.  Several initiatives have qualified for the November ballot in California.  How will Bonta name them?  One requires voter id and proof of citizenship to vote.  It will probably be named The Voter Suppression Act by our Secretary of State.  The Jarvis initiative to protect Proposition 13 will probably be named the Unfair and Unequal Tax Act.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.  

The California Legislature is back in session.  We are all in trouble.  The most important items they are working on?  Protecting LGBT Rights and affirming children's rights to gender care.  Legislation has been introduced to allow minors up to 20 years to sue any therapist who did not affirm their transition.  Additional legislation has been introduced to make it illegal for hospitals to comply with Federal requests for records relating to sex changing surgeries of minors.  Both of these laws are probably unconstitutional.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

As we celebrate this Easter weekend it seems that the world is in the final stages of the spiritual battle described in the Bible.  The left continues to protest any cause that Trump supports.  Often they don't even know why they are protesting.  State Legislatures continue to write additional laws limiting our constitutional rights.  The United States appears to have allied with the King of the North against the King of the South as described by John in Revelations.   These are truly troubling times we live in.  As we celebrate the great gift we received from God in sacrificing his Son Jesus Christ for our sins, we should all spend time with family and reflect on the word of God.  I hope everyone has a blessed peaceful Easter. 

On the day before Palm Sunday the leftist celebrate with a "No Kings" protest.  If we think our children are uneducated what about these fools?  California blames Trump for our highest in the nation gas prices.  I guess rules, regulations and taxes have nothing to do with the cost of doing business in California.  Pacific Legal Foundation gets a win for Home Buyers against the financial reporting insanity enacted under Biden.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.
