The Gavin Newsom probe is serious, and
he knows it
Posted By: Mercedes44, 6/21/2026 5:46:29 AM
Gavin Newsom and his “press office” aides-gone-wild have been trying to mock President Donald Trump on social media for more than a year — regardless of the consequences for state-federal relations. But he can’t laugh off the US Department of Justice probe into his family’s finances. And while Newsom claims the investigation is politically motivated, he knows it is serious. That’s why he and his inner circle are reportedly starting to worry.Newsom knows the investigations go back to the Biden administration. His former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, pleaded guilty last month in federal court in Sacramento to conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud.

As I've been reporting, Colombia had presidential elections last month, and on Sunday, there was a run-off between the Donald Trump-like right-winger, Abelardo de la Espriella (aka El Tigre), and current president Gustavo Petro's hand-picked socialist successor, Iván Cepeda. Well, we can say that another country in Latin America has taken a swing to the right because El Tigre won narrowly, though I'm willing to bet Petro and his folks were up to some funny business. I just don't buy that nearly half the country voted for the commie... or, at least, half of the 63.6% of people who showed up to the polls in Colombia and beyond.
Tulsi Gabbard’s last day as the director of national intelligence is upon us, after she resigned because of a major illness in the family. In her resignation note to the president, she cited her husband Abraham Williams’ recent diagnosis with sacral chordoma — an extremely rare tumor that develops in the sacrum at the base of the spine. In her resignation, she wrote that "He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle."
deliberate, multi-layered system was assembled over decades by the Democrat Party and its various allies and dramatically expanded between 2021 and 2025, through which U.S. taxpayer dollars, recycled foreign contributions, and dark-money campaign finance were deployed to facilitate mass illegal immigration, entrench the illegal alien population against removal, and sustain the political coalition responsible for building the system in the first place.
What follows is a structural analysis of the multi-layered system that has been bilking taxpayers for a very long time.
Medicaid and Healthcare Reimbursement Exploitation
The healthcare financing architecture became one of the most visible financial exposure points. Although the true number of illegal immigrants on Medicaid is unknown,
Trump to Pardon 250 for 250: Will Paul

Petersen, Imprisoned Victim of Lawfare,
be Among the 250? 1 reply
President Donald Trump recently indicated that he may pardon 250 people on our country’s 250th anniversary this Independence Day. One of the most deserving recipients should be former Maricopa County Assessor Paul Petersen, who has been in prison for almost five and a half years with significant health problems, including Stage 3(b) kidney disease. Petersen was targeted by leftist prosecutors because he was a vocal Trump supporter who was assisted in his campaigns by the Republican Party. He merely helped expectant mothers in the Marshall Islands adopt out their babies to Americans. The work came naturally to him,

The Council on American-Islamic Relations and its Texas chapter have filed a federal lawsuit against Fort Worth ISD on behalf of Shayma Alzubi, the former incoming principal at Western Hills High School, who was reassigned after scrutiny of past social media posts.
The complaint, filed June 18 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, brings claims under the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. It seeks to return Alzubi to the Western Hills principal role for the 2026-2027 school year, along with damages, attorneys’ fees, and litigation costs.
How One Leftist Group Prevents Corporate

Major employers systematically—though perhaps unintentionally—blacklist conservative nonprofits from their employee charitable giving programs through a third party.
Corporate generosity platforms such as Benevity act as middlemen, connecting employers such as AT&T, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Starbucks to a host of nonprofits. Benevity, for example, connects “nearly 1,000 enterprise companies” to a network of 513,000 nonprofits after vetting 2.2 million of them.
But these middleman platforms often refuse to partner with mainstream conservative or Christian nonprofits, because yet another third party—the Southern Poverty Law Center—puts those nonprofits on a “hate map” with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan.
Scarcely a day passes when I don’t receive a message from one of my American friends asking, “What the hell is going on over there?” By “over there,” of course, they mean “in the UK,” where I live.
In recent weeks, I’ve been taking a lot of questions about the murder of Henry Nowak and the scandalous response by police, who handcuffed him and left him to bleed to death in the street because the man who had stabbed him—a Sikh called Vickrum Digwa—said he was the victim of a racist attack. That was a lie. A lie that the rest of Digwa’s family acquiesced in without a second thought.
As RedState previously reported, Major League Baseball (MLB) landed itself in hot water on Monday after issuing a "warning" to three San Francisco Giants pitchers who refused to bend the knee to "Pride Night," writing Bible verses on their rainbow-themed hats during the team's Friday game against the Chicago Cubs. The warning stated that "the writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations." In a follow-up statement, they claimed it had nothing to do with the Christian message. "To be clear,
As he prepared to sign his “memorandum of understanding” with the Islamic dictatorship of Iran, President Trump again insisted that his deal was much different than that of his predecessor, President Barack Obama.
He’s right — it’s probably worse.
Obama’s treaty did not prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, it simply punted the issue down the road in exchange for cash.
Trump’s agreement has the same vague promises, the same payouts, but with the added twist that Iran can and will take the world hostage by shutting the Strait of Hormuz at will.
On Friday, just days after the signing of the MOU, Iran moved to close the Strait,
The Trump White House is lashing out at some of its most reliable allies as a bitter civil war erupts on the right over the administration’s controversial Iran agreement.
Conservative commentator Batya Ungar-Sargon became the latest target Friday after she blasted the deal as an “utter humiliation” for the US and accused Vice President JD Vance of unfairly attacking Israel while defending Tehran.
Within hours the official White House rapid-response account on X unloaded on the conservative pundit in a pair of scathing posts.
“The only humiliation here is Batya desperately begging for an additional brain cell because her failing TV show—

How do Americans respond to the economic and political system known as socialism? For a decade or two after the collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe countries and other nations, the idea became untenable. Now, however, socialism has regained popularity among many, in particular Democrats, as the June I&I/TIPP Poll demonstrates.
In the latest online national poll, taken from May 26 through May 28, 1,589 voting-age respondents were asked the following question: “In general, do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of socialism?”
Those answering the poll, which has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points, were

database of Social Security numbers, citizenship status 17 replies
A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from creating a centralized database containing Social Security numbers along with information about voters’ citizenship status and other sensitive data.
District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, an appointee of former President Biden, said officials across numerous government agencies “haphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable” in order to comply with President Trump’s March executive order attempting to overhaul federal elections.
The Erasure of Mother and Father in New York
16 replies
The first words out of my son’s mouth were “Mom” and “Dad,” words that capture the beautiful, natural reality of human life and family. Yet New York’s Democrat-controlled legislature has passed a bill that seeks to erase these foundational terms from state law, replacing “mother” with the clinical “gestating parent” and “father” with the soulless “non-gestating parent.” “Paternity” becomes “parentage,” and “putative father” yields to “alleged parent.” This Orwellian rewrite now sits on Governor Kathy Hochul’s desk.[snip]Mothers gestate and give birth; fathers provide the other half of the biological equation.
Obama’s Hideous Monument to Hubris

When the Democrats nominated Barack Obama to represent their party in the 2008 presidential election many voters consoled themselves with this thought: “Well, at least it’s not Hillary.” Unfortunately, preventing her from taking up residence in the White House was the last useful thing he did for the country. Indeed, from the moment he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize during his first year in office—before he could possibly have done anything noteworthy—it became clear that there would be a huge gap between his actual accomplishments and the celebration of his presidency.
Back in 2024, all of us watched in horror as Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key was crushed and collapsed in a heap of twisted, mangled metal.A massive container ship lost power and drifted straight into one of the bridge’s support columns and brought the entire thing down in seconds.

Sir Keir Starmer wants to force social networks and video platforms to make BBC content more prominent.
Under plans to further restrict private media firms, news from public service broadcasters would be given priority to fight “disinformation”.
The proposals will set Sir Keir on a collision course with tech giants already frustrated by his under-16s social media ban.
The Government is expected to start a consultation this week on the rules, which would force platforms such as Facebook and YouTube to boost content from the BBC, ITV and Channel 4.
Sources at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said the rules would make it easier for Britons to “discover trusted news sources” online.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is riding shotgun alongside Tucker Carlson as he drives away from the Republican Party.
The ex-GOP lawmaker on Monday said she is finished supporting the Republican Party — which she branded the “America LAST” party — just like her pal Carlson. She also echoed Carlson’s claim that Republicans have betrayed the American public in favor of a foreign nation — namely Israel.
Greene posted on X on Monday: Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party.
There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country.
On her final day as director of national intelligence Friday, Tulsi Gabbard released damning declassified evidence accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci of causing the COVID-19 pandemic, engaging in a cover-up about the virus origins in China and lying to Congress about it.
Perhaps most disturbingly, he was assisted by the US intelligence community.
“It’s time you know the truth,” said Gabbard when she released “never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins,
“Canada’s Texas is threatening divorce, and it could eventually become the 51st state,” crows the ultraconservative think-tank behind the Trump administration. The free people of Alberta are about to take a vote. It’s Canada’s fourth-largest province, both by size (about 411,187 sq mi) and population (5 million). It’s home to North America’s iconic Rocky Mountains, where crystal clear glacial lakes are scattered across forested landscape.

Some Real Talk About the Iran Deal

It’s time to take a hard look at the memorandum of understanding (MOU) and to think about it objectively. On one hand, it is not the utter catastrophe that a lot of people – people who largely agree with my position that we should be actively destroying these goat-molesting, pagan semi-humans – think it is. On the other hand, it’s a crap sandwich, and there’s no need to take a bite and announce that it’s “Yummy.” It is not yummy, but it might be the best we can hope for today.
