Get ready, California—starting July 1, 2025, your wallet’s about to take a hit, but don’t call it a tax hike. Nope, this is a fine, a punitive slap from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), a gang of radical lunatics appointed by our leftist Governor Gavin Newsom. These faceless bureaucrats are throwing a tantrum because some of us stubborn folks still refuse to ditch our gas-guzzlers for their precious EVs. This isn’t about revenue—it’s a “fine” for not bowing to their demands, a middle finger to anyone who dares defy their un-elected, activist overlords. They’re not just mad; they’re out to punish us for clinging to freedom on four wheels.

So remember when your gas prices go up 65 cents per gallon or an average of $13 per fill-up, you are not paying a tax, it’s a fine—a punitive gut-punch from CARB for daring to stick with your gas-powered ride. This isn’t about funding roads; it’s a deliberate penalty punishing you for not bowing to their EV mandate, turning every trip to the pump into a forced act of submission. Expect more of these sneaky fines to pile on, as they tighten the screws on our freedom to choose how we roll!

And it’s even getting uglier. Los Angeles has already banned the construction or repair of gas stations, a blatant move in the war on oil that’s about to escalate into a full-blown apocalypse before you know it, with abandoned pumps haunting every corner like ghosts of a lost era. Picture this: streets choked with abandoned cars, left to rust as their owners give up hope of ever fueling up again, turning our highways into graveyards of despair!

Carl DeMaio, the San Diego assemblyman, tweeted yesterday that we could be staring down gas prices soaring past $8 a gallon—heck, maybe even $12—if the oil industry packs up and leaves the state entirely. The pipelines are slated to shut off, and all oil imports could dry up, leaving full pumps as rare as a sunny day in January. Of course gas rationing is coming, there’s no way to avoid that, remember odd & even days?  Let this be a dire warning of the nightmare we are about to endure, fueled by sky-high prices and a supply that’s teetering on collapse!

The brutal truth? You might not find a drop of gasoline anywhere, leaving the state a desert of dry pumps. If you’re lucky enough to spot a station, you’ll be stuck in lines worse than 1978’s chaos—hours of misery, not just the 45 minutes like I dealt with in LA back, where I was next up at my local Texaco only to get slapped with that soul-crushing “No Gas” sign just as I pulled up to the pump. This time, you’ll sit there, praying you might get a trickle, because the alternative is a stranded, fuel-starved apocalypse!

We could drill here, after all, California stands as the 3rd most oil-rich state in the country, boasting a geological treasure trove of 4.5 to 6 billion barrels of proved reserves, with some experts hinting that untapped potential in areas like the Monterey Shale could catapult it even higher—possibly rivaling the top tiers—if it were ever explored with serious intent! But the Democrats have slapped a drilling ban on us, a suffocating chokehold that locks away our own resources, forcing us to import oil while sitting on a goldmine. This shortsighted move, driven by their radical green agenda, leaves us at the mercy of foreign supply chains and skyrocketing prices, all while our economy and energy independence crumble under the weight of their ideological stubbornness!

With regulations and “taxes” (read: FINES) piling up, gasoline’s becoming a luxury only the super-rich, the leftist oligarchs and elitists can afford—exactly their plan to herd us like sheep into electric clown cars. But wait—it gets worse. When we can’t swing the EV price tag, they’ll shove us onto mass transit. And long-term? The grid can’t handle charging 31.1 million cars and trucks—California’s got the highest registered vehicle count in the U.S.—so they’ll eventually ban EVs too. The endgame is clear: force every human being in the Golden State onto buses, banning automobiles except for the rich establishmentarians and their elitist pals.

This insanity stops with MAGA Republicans. They’re the only ones bold enough to dismantle CARB’s overreach, lift the drilling bans, and keep our roads free for cars, trucks, and motorcycles. California’s greatness hinges on our wheels, not the Democrat oligarchs and the mindless robots of their Libtard Nation. Voting MAGA is our ONLY shot to halt this destruction, protect our state, and tell these unelected tyrants to shove their fines up their collective asses.

Let’s roll—literally—before it’s too late!
