California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) convened the state legislature for a special session on Monday designed to “Trump-proof” the state, including by passing $25 million for use in lawsuits against the incoming administration. As Breitbart News noted after the election in November, Newsom announced the special session — not to deal with pressing problems facing the state, but rather for the political purpose of leading the so-called “resistance” (i.e. opposition) to President-elect Donald Trump. Trump responded on Truth Social, saying Newsom was “using the term ‘Trump-Proof’ as a way of stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to ‘Make California Great Again’.”

Old Gavin Baby must be blind. Didn't he notice the Dems only control the counties on the coast. There's a whole lot of California real estate that is Trump country. Of course, we can give Gruesome the benefit of the doubt. He could be color blind to a particular shade of RED! Oh, how I wait for this man's comeuppance. MAGA - MCGA, Make California Golden Again!

As a Californian, I despise Newsom and his idiotic policies as much as everybody here does. But I think these legal actions will surely fail, because the lawsuits will be executed by Attorney General Bonta, who has lost all his cases before the Supreme Court before (as I recall). $25 million taxpayer dollars, thrown into the Pacific.

California is billions of dollars in the red. They spend billions supporting illegals as a sanctuary state. They are a sanctuary for LGBTQ + and Trans, supporting the transition of children. California has many oppressive laws in their claimed attempts to be "free". They are driving away normal people in droves as nobody can afford to love in California due to the taxes. $25,000,000.00 for anti Trump lawsuits is chump change and just another California dream and fantasy.

This is the type of stuff very closed minded and myopic people do and this should be how it's viewed and treated by the WH and the RNC. CA has determined they want to be hostile to possible solutions and assistance all under the guise of "defending our values". When Democrats use the word "our" they don't mean all of us but their version in a partisan way. When Republicans ran the state things were much better overall. The Dems still have a super majority so they don't ever need a Republican for any spending plan or legislation. It's all been on them over the past 15+ years.

From the moment of Joe Biden’s coup d’état “victory” in 2020, Democrats, who had spent years telling everyone our elections were vulnerable to manipulation, suddenly began telling us it was the most secure election in American history. Not long after the inauguration, adding insult to injury, Molly Ball wrote a long piece in TIME describing all of the maneuvers and manipulations Democrats had used to steal the election and their preparations for “protests”—read violence—if their coup didn’t succeed. But it did, and they were gloating about it. Since that time, we’ve all come to see exactly what happened, much of it described in Mollie Hemingway’s bible on the coup: Rigged.

In yet another example of the left’s desperate attempts to smear President-elect Donald Trump’s allies, Olivia Troye, a former advisor to turncoat Mike Pence, is facing the heat after making outrageous defamatory statements about Trump’s pick for FBI Director, Kash Patel. On November 30, 2024, President-elect Trump announced the nomination of Patel to lead the FBI, an institution tarnished by years of political corruption under figures like James Comey and Chris Wray. Trump’s base praised the nomination, viewing Patel as a figure who could restore integrity and accountability to the Bureau.

PARIS — French opposition lawmakers brought the government down on Wednesday, throwing the European Union’s second-biggest economic power deeper into a political crisis that threatens its capacity to legislate and rein in a massive budget deficit. Far-right and left-wing lawmakers joined forces to back a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his government, with a majority 331 votes in support of the motion. Barnier was expected to tender his resignation and that of his government to President Emmanuel Macron shortly.

In dealing with his enemies in the Deep State, President Trump could follow one of two paths. One would be the path of peace, reconciliation, and forgiveness. This would certainly be easier in the short term and also garner approval from insiders and the media. Alternatively, he could seek to clean house and punish the worst and most insubordinate offenders from his first term. Which path Trump should take all depends on whether one believes the last eight years were normal partisan squabbles or if one believes that something monumental happened

The agreement, reached with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), ensures remote work privileges for these federal workers for the next five years, despite the Trump administration’s explicit plans to slash such arrangements, according to Bloomberg.

The Biden administration might be in its final days but that doesn’t mean the flow of lethal U.S. weaponry to Ukraine shows any sign of slowing. Far from it. That was confirmed Monday when an additional $725 million in military assistance, including counter-drone systems and munitions for its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), was announced by the White House. AP reports it is unclear whether the munitions for the HIMARS are the coveted ATACMS — the Army Tactical Missile System — but Ukraine has been pressing for more of the longer-range missiles to strike additional targets inside Russia.
