    The cost of providing Medi-Cal to each illegal immigrant beneficiary is rising 10-15% per year, according to a new report from the state-funded Legislative Analyst’s Office.
    This means even if California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposal to stop new enrollment in Medi-Cal by illegal immigrants in 2026 is adopted, costs for the program’s existing approximately 1.7 million illegal immigrants will likely continue to rise, as reflected in the governor’s May budget revision.
    “Growth in spending for the undocumented expansion population appears to be a key (but not the only) reason for the higher per-enrollee spending [for Medi-Cal as a whole],” wrote the LAO. “The May Revision estimates General Fund spending for this population to be $10.8 billion in 2025-26, up nearly 50 percent from the Governor’s budget level.

    While the blue haired socialists are verklempt and screaming about everything their main voices are being ridiculed as phony liars over and over again. In the meantime, the real people who are not swooning over mayor pete or gavin or any of them are abandoning msnbc, cnn and the rest especially tapper is the reality –
    Americans continue to give President Donald Trump an extended honeymoon, including Democrats and those who voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris.
    While saying that they don’t agree with everything Trump and his MAGA movement do, two-thirds believe that the president is putting America first as he resets the national agenda.
    In a new McLaughlin & Associates survey shared with Secrets, 61% agreed. In comparison, just 28% didn’t when asked: “While I may not agree with everything that Donald Trump and the MAGA movement says and stands for, I think they are right about putting America and the American people first.”
    The numbers bolster other recent surveys showing that more Americans than ever believe the country is on the “right track.”
    Pollster Jim McLaughlin noted the wide political spectrum that is giving Trump the benefit of the doubt despite a wall of skepticism from the liberal media and the Democratic Party.
    “This,” he told us, “explains all these recent polls where DJT has majority approval. After four years of [former President Joe] Biden putting our enemies and the elites first, Donald Trump is putting the forgotten men and women of America first. They liked it the first time and they like it even more after the disaster that was the Biden presidency. Two thirds say DJT and MAGA are right for putting America first. Including large cohorts of Democrat groups, 42% of all Democrats, 38% of Harris voters and 53% of black voters. Hispanics agree overwhelmingly, 68%-29%.”

    So it was another member of the religion of peace, an illegal alien who tried to burn the marchers wanting the hostages released. The fools in boulder say they are not calling it a terrorist event when the world knows and the perp yelled it at the scene. How did CO become the berzerkly of the midwest? –
    An Egyptian national who came into the country two years ago and overstayed his visa has been charged in the gruesome terror attack that left six people injured in Boulder, Colo., Saturday, authorities said.
    Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested at the scene, after he allegedly set his victims on fire as they peacefully rallied on behalf of Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza. Soliman was heard yelling “Free Palestine” and other anti-Israel slogans during the attack on victims ranging in age from 67 to 88.
