[NYPOST] A 6-year-old boy riding in a booster seat on his way to school Friday was rubbed out on a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, highway in an apparent road-rage incident.
"Mommy, my tummy hurts," Aiden Leos said moments after being shot in the stomach, his older sister Alexis Cloonan told KABC.
Leos attended kindergarten at Calvary Chapel in Yorba Linda, according to local reports. He had just celebrated his birthday last week.
The incident took place about 8 a.m. on the northbound side of the 55 Freeway in Orange while Aiden drove with his mother in a silver Chevrolet sedan. The boy sat in his safety seat in the right rear passenger side of the vehicle.
The tragedy unfolded when the unidentified mother — who was not injured — reportedly flipped off the driver of a white sedan who had cut her off in the highway’s car-pool lane. A passenger in the white car fired off an unknown number of shots, hitting Aiden, reports said.
The frantic mom "picked [Aiden] up and he was bleeding on her, she had blood on her clothes," Cloonan told news hounds. "And then he started turning blue, and that’s when the ambulance took him. And that’s the last time my mom saw him alive."
The boy was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Police are still searching for the suspects.
"Please help us find who did this to my little brother," said Cloonan.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] For the first time in a glorious 171-year history that attracted thousands seeking fortunes during the 19th Century Gold Rush, gave birth to the global movie industry and unleashed the digital revolution, California has seen its population – currently just under 40 million – decline.
It shrank by 182,083 last year – equivalent to all the citizens living in the coastal idylls of Santa Monica and Santa Barbara combined.
Families and firms are being driven away by the high cost of living, crime fears, hefty taxes, inadequate housing, interfering officials, persistent political failures, red tape, raging wildfires and the squalor of streets littered with homeless drug addicts.
‘It is very sad,’ said Scott. ‘I will always love California but it has changed. It is not what it was when I was a kid, or even five years ago. I could never go back.’
California – long proclaimed as a liberal nirvana and run by Democrats – is even losing one of its seats in Congress for the first time owing to the population fall. Inevitably, Republicans say people are voting with their feet to flee to conservative states such as Florida, Idaho and Texas.
Apple is also building a new campus in Texas, while several other major tech firms, including Oracle and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, have moved their headquarters to the Lone Star state.
Delian Asparouhov is typical of those who turned California into such a powerhouse: a computer geek who attended the top-ranking Massachusetts Institute of Technology, launched a space start-up, was backed by a billionaire and became a venture capitalist in the state. Yet this month the Bulgarian-born entrepreneur, still ony 27, bought a house in Miami, Florida.
He said: ‘Silicon Valley has a stifling intellectual climate with its mono-culture that only allows one viewpoint to be expressed. It seems to espouse the same socialist values as the Soviet Union.
‘So I am fleeing just like my parents fled a similar system for America when I was a kid.’
When he suggested on Twitter that Silicon Valley should move from California, the mayor of Miami, Francis Suarez, responded by asking if he could help.
Asparouhov says he has 60 friends and former colleagues who have made the same move. ‘California is a beautiful place with beautiful people but it’s fraying. It is anti-growth, espouses diversity but does not implement it, and parts look like a war zone with encampments of homeless people filled with mentally ill people who need help that never arrives.’ Asparouhov believes so many firms are opening in Miami that it could become America’s leading technology hub within a decade.

The people who moved who moved to Texas from California have been voting Republican. Its their weird kids that moved here with them that are still brainwashed.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is the highest paid governor in US history, according to a report by Forbes, with a salary of $225,000.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is the second-top paid current governor, earning nearly $210,000 in 2020.
Cuomo and Newsom, both Democrats, have faced a series of scandals throughout 2020 and this year, triggering calls for both to be replaced.
Cuomo was paid a $225,000 salary in 2020, per data from The Council of State Governments. This was set to increase to $250,000 in 2021, but Cuomo decided against taking the extra $25,000 after a state panel advised against raising officials' salaries.

[Washington Examiner] A veterans group that plans to continue the tradition of a massive motorcycle ride through Washington, D.C., saw an uptick in interest after the Pentagon denied the organization a parking permit.
Rolling to Remember, previously known as Rolling Thunder, planned its annual ride through the district and contacted the Pentagon a year ago to secure a permit to host thousands in its parking lot. After a hiatus in 2020 due to the pandemic, the group was looking forward to rekindling its three-decade-old tradition over Memorial Day weekend.
In years past, the deal between the two groups was seemingly no issue, but the government body ultimately denied the group a permit due to "substantial community spread of COVID in the county" and a "health threat level" in the building.
The military's denial saw fierce backlash, though the controversy has bolstered interest in the event, drawing between 50,000 and 100,000 potential attendees for May 30, Joseph Chenelly, the executive director of AMVETS, the group in charge of 2021's ride, told the Washington Examiner in an interview.

[Daily Caller] The Smith & Wesson Performance Center SW1911 Pro Series, an Officer-size variant of John Browning’s venerated design, is the Performance Center’s first 9 mm Luger-chambered offering in the platform. An attempt to provide the best of both worlds—the added capacity offered by a smaller-diameter projectile, housed within one of the most popular configurations of pistol ever made—the SW1911 Pro Series’ subcompact dimensions make it ideal as a carry gun.
True to traditional form for Officer-size M1911s, the SW1911 Pro Series is a single-stack semi-automatic, with a grip angle and ergonomics familiar to any M1911 devotee. However, to reduce weight—an important consideration for everyday carry—the frame is constructed from a scandium alloy instead of the more traditional steel, bringing the gun’s empty weight down to only 26 ozs. Further, it features a rounded butt to reduce the chance of snagging on clothing when carrying concealed. To promote a firm grip, both the frontstrap and the mainspring housing are checkered (the mainspring housing being the more aggressive of the two), while the factory stocks are coarsely stippled synthetics.
