Sami Winc: So, Victor, California polls or the California election results have come in, and I was wondering your thoughts, especially in LA, because there’s been lots of news this week and discussion about two things: dirty voter rolls, and then the New York Post had an article on how Nithya Raman was part and parcel to funding a social services by $600,000, and then they went out and paid or got homeless people and anybody else they could to register at that address. And so, my question is this: How many social services do you think have done that?

James Boyard, a senior Haitian government official who oversees key security functions, has been abducted by armed assailants, according to a source cited in an Associated Press report.
Boyard serves as chief of staff for Haiti's Defense Ministry and also holds the position of inspector general within the country's national police force. His apparent kidnapping marks one of the most significant abductions involving a government official in Haiti in recent years.
Gang violence continues to plague the nation, according to reports.
A person with direct knowledge of the case confirmed the incident on Saturday.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been playing hide the ball with the truth about the disastrous and deadly Pacific Palisades fire and the state's culpability in it since it rekindled on Jan. 7, 2025. This week, the governor lost another court maneuver in his attempt to deny Palisades fire victims the ability to sue the the State of California. On Friday, the California Supreme Court denied Newsom administration's latest stall tactic, that would have required yet another "review and request to stay the Palisades Fire Litigation," according to Trey Robertson, who represents 4,000 Palisades victims. If the court had decided differently,
The Justice Department's Antitrust Division approved Friday the $111 billion merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, clearing a major regulatory hurdle for one of the most watched sales in recent years.
The two companies signed the paperwork for the deal in February, which will see Paramount acquire Warner Bros., but it still needs final approval from the Trump administration before it can go through.
The Justice Department told Politico that it has conducted an extensive review of the proposed merger and found that it would not stifle competition, despite merging two of the biggest studios in Hollywood and the media.

The June 2 gubernatorial race in California has Republican candidate Steve Hilton exceeding pre-election polls and headed to the November general election to face the top Democrat pick, former Biden Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. Politics(Right)
As of this writing 94 percent of the vote has been counted and that tally puts Hilton in the top two, earning 24.8 percent of the vote while Becerra won 28 percent. Pre-election polls had Hilton trailing Becerra by eight points.
When you compare Hilton’s performance to previous Republican attempts to oust a Democrat, the results get interesting.

Back in 2022, then-former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard got blistered for raising concerns that the United States might be funding bio-research labs with dangerous pathogens in foreign countries like war-torn Ukraine.
Republican Mitt Romney – like Gabbard a former presidential candidate – accused her of spreading "treasonous lies" and "Russian propaganda," and many in the news media joined the chorus in a concerted effort to diminish the threat that U.S. tax dollars could one day lead to an accidental virus outbreak from one of those foreign labs.
Four years later, Gabbard turned the tables in epic fashion.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Friday that she is releasing never-before-seen documents concerning the U.S. government funding 120 biolabs in 30 countries, including Ukraine.
"In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] will continue working with partners across the administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what 'research' is being conducted," Gabbard said in X.
There is growing momentum within the Democratic Party to find its next ObamaCare heading into the midterms, as healthcare costs become more untenable and American anger over affordability persists.
Healthcare has consistently ranked as a top issue for voters heading into this year’s midterm elections. June polling from Emerson College found that healthcare ranked in the top five issues for voters, behind the economy, threats to democracy and immigration. The expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits dealt a heavy blow to Democrats in Congress, who carried out the longest government shutdown in history to get a vote on extending the subsidies.
The media have jumped on a recent conference presentation about a breast cancer test. Its results were presented at the ASCO meeting last month and reported as a breakthrough that could spare millions of women chemotherapy.
The actual story is one of massive over-medication of women with toxic drugs and test failure.
The trial of the test
The claim is that the breast cancer test could predict who would benefit from chemotherapy. The truth was that it was good at predicting which women would have a cancer recurrence but it failed at the only useful claim of who would benefit.
Several House Republicans urged Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday to revoke the Southern Poverty Law Center's tax-exempt status in light of allegations the organization funded efforts to fabricate and expand extremist groups.
The letter comes after a federal grand jury in April approved charges against the organization for alleged wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and other offenses.
North Carolina GOP Rep. Mark Harris led the letter to Bessent, claiming the organization is not operating as a nonprofit but as a partisan "left-wing political machine,"
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Knicks owner James Dolan could be forced to bury the hatchet if the team clinches an NBA championship — for potentially the biggest ticker-tape victory parade in New York City’s history.
The Knicks’ instant-classic Game 4 victory Wednesday over the San Antonio Spurs puts the team one win away their first NBA championship in 53 years – and amped up talks about a befitting mega-celebration, insiders said.
Jinxes be damned, officials were said to have met in City Hall on Thursday afternoon to hash out the logistics of a throwing a ticker-tape parade as soon as next week —
As more and more revelations come to the fore about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who just won the Democrat primary this week, many Democrats seem to have adopted a simple mantra regarding his campaign: Vote for the Nazi: It’s important.
The saying echoes a slogan from campaigns past — one that supporters of Republican Sen. Susan Collins, Platner’s opponent in the general election, would do well to employ against Platner. The slogan demonstrates how Democrats will embrace a candidate — any candidate — so long as that person opposes President Trump.

President Barack Hussein Obama wanted a monument in Chicago, and Chicago gave him parkland, patience, tax breaks, years of disruption, and now a tower that looks less like civic memory than self-regard poured into granite.
The Obama Presidential Center opens to the public June 19 in Jackson Park, a historic South Side park once shaped by Frederick Law Olmsted's vision. The Obama Foundation calls it an “awe-inspiring 19-acre campus.”
Many Chicagoans can look at the same structure and see something colder.
The building matches the man's politics. Obama, the 44th president, sold hope in polished speeches while leaving the country more divided than he found it. My criticism of Obama has
Retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell was mysteriously whisked to the hospital Sunday morning for unknown reasons, and his current condition is not publicly known.
“Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning. He is receiving excellent care,” a spokesperson for McConnell told The Post.
McConnell’s spokesperson declined to give more details about the senator’s hospitalization.
The 84-year-old former Senate GOP leader has long suffered from a string of health-related issues even as he has continued to ask sharp questions during committee hearings as he serves out the remainder of his seventh term.
The Kentucky Republican was previously hospitalized in February with flu-like symptoms.
New York City was plunged into chaos as thousands of revelers flooded the streets of Midtown after the Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years.
The out-of-control Knicks fans were seen smashing up a cop car outside of Madison Square Garden, while others destroyed MTA and school buses among the madness in the hours after New York’s historic win on Saturday night.
Two maniacs were seen jumping on top of the car and smashing up its front windshield , according to a video posted by FreedomNews TV. [snip] Officers say they haven’t worn this much protection in the streets of the city since COVID
Concern is mounting that taxpayers could be left holding the bag if the Obama Presidential Center runs into financial trouble, as the foundation behind it has yet to establish a promised $470 million safety net to guard against a public bailout. The scrutiny comes as a Fox News Digital investigation found multiple contractors and subcontractors claiming losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions on the project, with some alleging they remain locked in payment disputes and face financial ruin just days before the center's grand opening.
Under its agreement with the city, the Obama Foundation pledged to create the fund, known as an endowment, as part
Obama, whose roots are African rather than African-American, rose to power by hijacking the racial resentments and guilty left behind in America after a history of slave and segregation he was never part of.
Now, the one trick pony is at it again, announcing the opening of the grim fortress of a museum in Chicago, on ‘Juneteenth’, trying to link his time in the White House as a notable event for black people up there with the end of slavery.
It’s another cynical and despicable hijacking of American history to serve his own vanity and ego.
The reality, as most black people will admit, is that
Sunday on “This Week,” former President Barack Obama said the United States could not bully or bomb its way to a solution when asked about the Trump administration’s actions in Iran.
Reporter Robin Roberts asked, “You spent a lot of time wrestling with the threat of a nuclear Iran. How do you think things are being handled right now there?”
Obama said, “It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place. And had worked for, for a long stretch of time, before we, the United States, pulled out of it.
SpaceX went public this week and, in doing so, made Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire. In the same swoop, Musk also made over 4,000 of his employees millionaires.
Elon and his employees don’t have that money in a bank. Much of it exists in stock options. What no one can argue is that Elon created more millionaires in a shorter period of time than anyone else in history.
This should have been a moment of celebration for Americans. Musk is a citizen, and his stunning success should have been an inspiration for a generation of potential innovators. Being number one often drives competitors

Democratic Utah congressional candidate Liban Mohamed has mobilized a nationwide community of Somali-American supporters to drive donations for his campaign to represent Salt Lake City.
Donors with names originating from Somalia or East Africa account for around 85% of Mohamed’s unique donors, and roughly the same share of his total donations, according to FEC filings for April and May.
An identical percentage of his donors are from out of state, as the 27-year-old son of Somali immigrants has toured the country, seeking donations from areas with large Somali-American populations.
In late May, he attended a fundraising event for Somali-Americans in Minneapolis with progressive Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, who endorsed him in April.
Pakistan’s prime minister has announced that the United States and Iran have reached agreement on the terms of a deal to end their conflict, with an official signing ceremony scheduled to take place in Switzerland on Friday, 19 June.
Shehbaz Sharif said both sides had declared “the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” adding: “The official signing ceremony will be on Friday 19 June in Switzerland. We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict.”
A nonprofit dedicated to instituting guaranteed income programs across the country is reportedly aiming for a permanent policy in California funded by taxpayer dollars — in a state already $1.3 trillion in debt.
That, according to a report published Saturday by Fox News which examines the Economic Security Project (ESP), a nonprofit founded in 2016 and consisting of “100 entrepreneurs, activists, researchers, and philanthropists” dedicated to promoting direct cash payments to individuals.
ESP has created over 100 guaranteed income pilots across the United States, the outlet reported.
Now, a state affiliate of ESP, Economic Security California (ESC) aims to establish a permanent guaranteed income program,
Over a dozen community members demanded action against what they described as Islamophobic comments made by a Peoria Unified School District governing board member.
During a June 9 district board meeting, speakers said Janelle Bowles had shared posts on social media rejecting Islam as a religion, claimed Muslim families indoctrinate their children and suggested the religion would take over the country. Several district staff and parents asked for her resignation or the governing board to formally censure her.
Students told the board Bowles’ comments made Muslim students feel unsafe in their own schools and normalized prejudice against them.
A former White House alum under Joe Biden says the former president has returned to public life for 'financially driven' reasons.
Biden, alongside wife Jill, has made several public appearances recently, including the ex-First Lady's headline-making promotional tour for her new memoir.
However, one ex-Biden staffer said that the Bidens are doing all of this out of obligation. He's not getting any younger, he's ill, and it feels financially driven,' the anonymous source told New York Magazine.
One of the main financial needs is money to potentially build his own presidential library as fundraising has been deemed a total failure so far.
The chairman of The Biden Foundation claims things will
