By now, everyone should have had their mail-in ballots delivered, albeit buried under a pile of PennySavers, drunken Amazon-Prime- Days purchases and ballots for previous residents who died 40 years ago.
My advice is to fill it out and send it in TODAY. You don’t want it to get stuck to your jury duty summons and end up in the trash along with it. It takes less than 5 minutes. Bank your vote before one of Gascon’s goons hits you on the head and you lose the cognitive ability to color in the bubbles.
I always drop my ballot off in a blue mail bin or at the post office. Don’t worry about it getting lost. The post office only loses the electric bill. 😉
President:
Donald J. Trump
If I have to listen to that woman laugh for four years, I’ll break every glass in my house. Enough with the inflation, open borders, lawless streets and international conflict. We need a strong leader who will bring back normality. Remember what life was like when you could afford to live like a regular person…didn’t have to worry about war breaking out in every hemisphere…you could buy shaving cream that wasn’t locked behind bullet proof glass? Sign me up for that.

U.S. Senate:
In the primary election, the race was neck-and-pencil-neck. Since then, Burbank Congressman Adam Schiff has opened up a big lead in the polls. Who cares? Adam Schiff is the least ethical person in Congress, with no integrity! He and the fake doctor colluded to get me kicked off Twitter (but failed). Adam Schiff doesn’t belong in the Senate, he belongs baking cupcakes with nail files in them for Ed Buck.
Los Angeles County District Attorney:
Nathan Hochman
George Gascón has used the DA’s office to advocate for criminals and re-victimize their prey. Los Angeles has gone from being a relatively safe place to live, to becoming the NC17 sequel to The Purge. Gascón is a complete disgrace and an existential threat. He needs to go.
Props:
Prop 2: NO
This prop is a $10 billion bond for school facilities. The state is broke, our schools have a declining enrollment, and when they shut everything down during COVID they told us that on-campus instruction really wasn’t that important after all. No money for you!
Prop 3: YES
This prop legalizes gay marriage. Anyone who lives and pays taxes in California should be able to marry whoever they want….except for Adam Schiff. Fuck him.
Prop 4: NO
This prop is a $10 billion bond for climate change. I’m surprised people so concerned with global warming would want to light $10 billion on fire.
Prop 5: NO
This prop makes it easier to raise your property taxes (which will be passed along to your rent, if you’re a tenant). The cost of living in California is out of control and Prop 13 is one of the few things that allows us to stay here. So, of course, these idiots want to get rid of it.
Prop 6: NO
This prop would make it illegal for state prisons and county jails to force inmates to work. Are you kidding me? These people need to learn a skill other than stealing Kias and using them as battering rams to rob 7-Elevens. Back to the chain gang you go, boys ‘n girls….better brush up on your singing!
Prop 32: NO
This measure would raise the state’s hourly minimum wage from $16 to $18. Are these people not even slightly familiar with how inflation works? I guess they won’t be happy until a Big Mac costs $45.
Prop 33: NO
This initiative would repeal a 1995 state law that limits local rent control ordinances. Venice has strict rent control, Newport Beach doesn’t. Rent ‘equity’ is turning Newport Beach into Venice. No thanks!
Prop 34: YES
This initiative would require some nonprofit organizations that make money from a federal drug discount program to spend that money fulfilling their healthcare mission. These groups need to stop spending money on rent control initiatives and start spending it on AIDS. Or better yet, spending it against AIDS!
Prop 35: NO
This prop would make a temporary tax on managed care organizations permanent. Only in California could people look at the litany of problems we all face and conclude that the real travesty is that we are undertaxed. No more taxes!
Prop 36: YES
This initiative would repeal much of Prop 47. California is a violent place where criminals have carte blanche ability to do whatever they want. It’s time to fill up the prisons, and once we do that, build more, and fill them up too! Unless and until I can buy toothpaste at a Rite Aid without the assistance of an associate, I don’t want to hear about ‘restorative justice’.
Judges:
I don’t have the ability to research all of them, but Craig Huey did. Go to CraigHuey.com for more details.
Congress, state assembly, state senate:
There are so many districts in California that nobody can keep up with all of them. I tend to go with the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association endorsements for my guidance. You can access those endorsements at HJTA-PAC Endorsements for the November 5, 2024, General Election https://www.hjta.org/endorsements-by-the-hjta-pac/
