Heard on the Tom/Toms

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PLATFORM—WE DEMAND HONEST ELECTIONS—NO MACHINES/VOTER ID/PAPER BALLOTS
This is from the New National Platform:
“6. Republicans Will Ensure Election Integrity We will implement measures to secure our Elections, including Voter ID, highly sophisticated paper ballots, proof of Citizenship, and same day Voting. We will not allow the Democrats to give Voting Rights to illegal Aliens.”
The 9th Circuit, covering the West Coast, including California, ruled that Arizona can have Voter ID. Nevada will have a ballot measure in November putting Voter ID into the election code.
Now is the time for California to do the same. I urge the GOP leadership in California prepare a ballot measure for 2026. The courts have rule it is legal, people in another State get to vote on it.
*********************************************************************************
In 106 days we will have the November 5 election. Trump is the GOP nominee. The Democrats now have no candidate. The Democrats have claimed trump is the candidate of chaos. Yet, Biden dropping out puts the Democrat Party in total chaos—and if he is unable to run for President, how can he serve as President? It is time for him to resign and stay in Delaware.
In reality the Democrat Party is the enemy of Democracy. In reality the Democrat Party is the Party of chaos.

From Bruce Bialosky in an email:
I had lunch with two different friends this week who invoked the issue of whether the “wealthy” are paying their share. Our dear beloved President is regularly commenting on this and stating they don’t. You may want to have this info.
The most recent information is for tax year 2021.
The top 1% of individuals paid 45.78% of all federal income taxes on 26.3% of the adjusted gross income.
The top 5% paid 65. 64% on 41.99% of the income.
The top 10% paid 75.78% on $52.61% of the income.
The bottom 50% paid 2.34% of the taxes.
You tell me whether they are currently paying their fair share.
The Monterey Republican Assembly Chapter is helping to host a Trump Fundraiser with Gov Ron DeSantis as the guest speaker.
You are invited, and I would be so grateful if you would pass the information along. Send it to your friends and family.
The date is Aug 1st.
(Periodically the California Political News and Views will publish tidbits of political news, to keep you in the loop of what the pooh bahs know. The phrase “tom/tom’s” comes from my mentor, Lorelei Kinder who never passed a rumor, just called to tell me what she heard on the “TomTom’s”. This column is named in her honor.)
