What happens in California (or any other Democrat-run state) doesn’t stay in California (or any other Democrat-run state), and here is yet another example, from an article published yesterday at Breitbart News:
‘Authorities in a recent cargo theft bust recovered more than $1.6M in stolen electronics recovered from a tractor-trailer owned by someone whose CDL stated their first name was ‘No Name Given’ and their last name was ‘Diamond,’’ reported Overdrive.
The haul was actually stolen from the Dallas airport, but the three suspects, two of whom are illegal aliens, were only apprehended in Flagstaff, Arizona as the thieves were on their way back to California.
This is why it does matter to us what those Golden State idiots do. They’re currently tens of billions of dollars in the financial hole with federal dollars inevitably coming to the rescue, which means my taxes and your taxes. Californians who aren’t far-left, but are still left, flee to our conservative strongholds and bring the same problems that destroyed their home state. And, the state-promoted criminality inevitably spreads, as it did here.
According to the same Breitbart piece, the fact that someone was given a California CDL with a last name only (a fake-sounding one at that) isn’t really a big deal to the state DMV, because foreigners from the world’s most backwards hellholes on Earth don’t always come with two names:
A California DMV spokesperson defended the driver having a CDL, saying it aligns with the law and stems from cases whereby individuals, such as some from Afghanistan, have only one name, per U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
I’m sorry, but why are we importing people from a culture this inferior? One-named low-life bandits? What kind of moron thought that hiring criminals (that’s what all illegal aliens are) wouldn’t end in more crime? I know the...

This has been an issue across the country for years, evidenced by the recent arrest of DMV employees in Florida. Some states are trying to clean up the mess but I believe it will take some form of Federal intervention to get it right.
I SERIOUSLY DOUBT PEOPLE FROM AFGHANISTAN HAVE ONLY ONE NAME.
THAT IS A SCAM.
I worked a case where illegal aliens were being transported from Texas to New Mexico to obtain a driver license since Texas would not issue to them. In New Mexico all they needed was a New Mexico address and a Mexican passport for proof of identity and they were issued a DL and they would return to Texas and turn in the NM DL for a Texas DL. This was during the Obama years and when reported to the FBI they weren’t interested.
Income tax evasion / income tax fraud - use the same laws on the books that put Al Capone ‘on the rock’ (in prison) and put these employers and illegal employees away ...
It won’t take very many cases and you’ll have 98% compliance once employers realize they could be on the hook too.
Ah yes. Kalifornia and illegal trespassers have a “legal” right to a driver’s license.
“But, they need a driver’s license to get to work!” the wackos state.
So....... the illegal trespasser gets an illegal job.
The dirty BIG secret is the Kalifornia Motor Voter Law. When you get a license (or DMV registration, stickers, whatever) they make you register to vote.**
This, combined with 100% mail-in ballots for EVERY election, is a big part of the democRAT takeover of Kalifornia. For 30 days before the election, ballot “drop boxes” are spread throughout every precinct. I call them ballot stuffing boxes.
**I had client with developmental and mental health issues. With the proper medication, she could safely participate in many daily activities. One day, her parents went to the DMV with her to renew her Kalifornia State ID. The DMV INSISTED that she register to vote. Her parents were perturbed, but there was no getting around it. The client has no idea about anything political. She has never “voted” herself, but I wonder how many of those ballot stuffing boxes had her ‘ballot’?
That is why I love the crackdown on non-English speaking or Reading!!! Take the Illegal Aliens off our Roads!!!
As the old saying goes, a chain is only as strong as the weakest link.
California is that weak link.
How can the Union of States function when one rogue state normalizes criminals who can then pass freely across state lines?
Answer: it can’t.
Having had to process Afghan DoD translators for the State Dept, many do have one name. For instance (true names not used to protect privacy), I had one named Abdul. In order to standardize his name for the application we had to add “Son of Sayeed” or Sayeed for a last name. It’s not much different than someone with the last name of Johnson or Davidson. Another thing is many don’t have birth certificates, so they have to go out and get one. Some are vain and always shave off a couple years to present as younger. It’s a very different culture.
China is reexamining its investments in Iran following the escalation .
Two senior Chinese scholars, Niu Xinchun and Zou Zhiqiang, have warned that the escalation of Israeli attacks on Iranian infrastructure is endangering China’s economic interests in the country. According to them, the damage to civilian sites such as ports, energy facilities and industrial sites creates an immediate need to evacuate civilians and reassess the course of economic cooperation.
So far, about 1,600 Chinese citizens have been evacuated from Iran, at the initiative of the Chinese Embassy in Tehran. According to estimates, there are currently between a few thousand and 10,000 Chinese citizens in Iran, most of them businessmen, technicians, engineers and project workers in the fields of energy, infrastructure and technology, mainly in Tehran, Isfahan, Bandar Abbas and the island of Kish.
Despite a 25-year, wide-ranging strategic cooperation agreement signed between China and Iran in 2021, it appears that the economic potential of the agreement has not yet been realized, mainly due to Chinese fears of secondary sanctions from the US.
In 2024, the volume of bilateral trade was $13.37 billion. Of this, $8.93 billion was in Chinese exports and $4.44 billion was in imports from Iran. However, China’s direct investment in Iran amounted to only $322 million, with the cumulative investment by the end of 2023 standing at only about $3.92 billion, a small amount relative to the scope of the agreements between the countries.
In conclusion, they emphasized that “only an agreement between Iran and the US can lead to the lifting of sanctions, otherwise, cooperation will continue to diminish. China will have to reconsider which projects to continue, which to preserve and which to abandon.”

So it would appear that Iran wants the world to believe that Trump is “begging” them to negotiate ???? As opposed to Iran wanting an invitation to the White House?
🍿🍿🍿
While Trump may want to get credit for “peace negotiations”. I don’t believe optics of legitimizing Iranian regime by giving them a “seat at the table” is the right message. I stand by my previous recommendation that the Iranian regime should not be granted the privilege of speaking with ANY US official above the rank of “switchboard operator”
I lived in Afghanistan and for nearly six years and gad up to 70 Afghans working for me. It is true some people have one name. They’ll repeat it so their full name would be like “Abdullah Abdullah”.
gad = had
