Episode 1208 – It’s Election Night! Do You Care?

It’s election night. Do you really care? Well, I still hope you voted.

The Right in Los Angeles just showed the Left how you should REALLY protest!

And let’s talk about the ridiculous trans story of the day (there are actually two) because, hey, it’s Pride Month.

Big Election Tonight

Things could really get shaken up for November elections tonight. Here are the primary elections to pay attention to.

  • In Iowa, incumbent Senator Joni Ernst is not seeking another term, and there are two Republicans and two Democrats in the running to take the position. The winners of the Tuesday primary in Iowa will advance to the general election. US Rep. Ashley Hinson has campaigned with support from Ernst and is running against former state Sen. Jim Carlin, who has talked about his legislative experience and donor independence. For the Democrats, Rep. Josh Turek is running against state Sen. Zach Wahls in the primary.
  • For California Governor. The top contenders from each party appear to be Democrat Xavier Becerra, who served as former President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Republican Steve Hilton, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump. Other Democrats in the race include billionaire Tom Steyer, Katie Porter, and others.
  • In Montana, Republican Senator Steve Daines is not seeking a third term and has endorsed US Attorney Kurt Alme to replace him. Trump has also endorsed Alme. He also has endorsements from Tim Sheehy and Gov. Greg Gianforte.

I Love This Idea!

What biased reporting:

  • Protest vs. privacy.
  • A stunt.
  • The protester is masked.
  • They care about funding.
  • They care about the kids now?
  • This crosses a line?

It’s Not a Right

A Trump administration policy illegally banned transgender troops from military service, a divided panel of federal appeal court judges ruled on Monday.

The majority opinion by a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia circuit largely upholds a March 2025 ruling by U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington, D.C. Reyes concluded that President Donald Trump’s executive order to exclude transgender troops from military service likely violates their constitutional rights.

The administration appealed after Reyes issued a preliminary injunction requested by attorneys for six transgender people who are active-duty service members and two others seeking to join the military. The appeal court’s majority decided that the injunction should be narrowed to the plaintiffs currently serving in the military but not those seeking to join.

The ruling won’t immediately go into effect, allowing the administration time to ask the full appeals court to hear the case.

The U.S. Supreme Court allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect last year, as litigation continues to play out. Another lawsuit challenging the ban was filed in Washington state and led to a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs challenging the policy in that case.

Ridiculous

According to the Post Millennial:

Outdoor retailer Patagonia has revealed that it has offered to resolve its lawsuit against a drag queen that goes by the name “Pattie Gonia” so long as he ceases using the company’s branding in products. The drag queen has refused the company’s offer. 

“There’s a lot going around about the lawsuit we filed in January to protect our trademarks, and we owe you an update,” Patagonia wrote in a social media post on Sunday.

“We wish this lawsuit had not been necessary, and we want to acknowledge any hurt it has caused, especially in the LGBTQ+ community. We don’t want to argue trademark law on social media. Importantly, we continue to want to resolve this.”

The company said it would resolve the lawsuit if the drag queen agrees to withdraw “all trademark applications,” cease using the brand’s longtime logo, and cease “selling and promoting apparel and other products as Pattie Gonia.” 

“If we can agree on this, we can work out everything else, and Pattie Gonia could continue as a performer and activist. We share common ground with them, including the goal of saving our home planet and creating a more inclusive outdoors,” the statement concluded. 

The drag queen responded in a statement to social media on Monday evening, writing, “Patagonia just posted their ‘offer’ to settle. When I told you that they were trying to erase my advocacy, their bullet #3 is what I was talking about: ‘Stopselling and promoting apparel and other products as Pattie Gonia.'”

“Patagonia is not just talking about my upcycled t-shirt merch in that bullet point. They’re talking about the partnership work with other brands that I’ve done for years to pay for the education, advocacy and activism that me and my team do,” the drag queen wrote. “If I can’t do partnerships as Pattie Gonia, it breaks the whole ecosystem of advocacy and community engagement. And they understand this because their work is built on the exact same model – advocacy work funneled through commercial work.”

“Bullet points #1 and #2 – I’ve already said I would agree to. Bullet #3 – absolutely not. No deal, Patagonia,” the drag queen concluded. 

Patagonia sued the drag queen in January over a trademark application filed by Pattie Gonia, whose real name is Wyn Wiley, alleging that it will “confuse consumers” and cause irreparable harm to the brand. The brand said that the products and services for which Wiley applied for a trademark “compete directly with the products and advocacy upon which Patagonia built its Patagonia brand for over the last fifty-three years.”

The company claimed that they had reached out to Pattie Gonia and it was “understood that the parties had reached agreement about how that advocacy work might continue in a way that would not interfere with Patagonia’s brand.” This agreement, the filing stated, has not been honored.

Episode 1206 – Communism Ain’t a Good Thing!

Gavin Newsom keeps proving that he is a vain, self-centered sociopath who is only worried about looking good.

Taylor Lorenz is back on social media, making the rounds with a real weird complaint.

And Zohran Mamdani is proving he’s an outright communist.

Completely Out Of Touch

According to the California Post:

The time for Gavin Newsom honoring himself isn’t over yet.

California’s governor wants taxpayers to spend $33,000 on an official portrait of him, even as Democratic lawmakers fume over Newsom’s “absurd” $20 million proposal to honor the state’s living former governors — an exclusive club of which he’ll soon be a member.

Funding for the proposed painting is included in Newsom’s proposed 2026-27 budget under “Governor’s Portrait,” which says the money would pay for the “traditional painting of the Governor’s portrait” to be displayed in the State Capitol alongside portraits of every other California governor. 

The $33,000 would come from the state’s General Fund at a time when all new discretionary spending is being discouraged by Democratic lawmakers and state budget analysts. California faces long-term structural budget deficits while Golden State residents are contending with high gas prices, soaring housing costs and increasingly expensive health care services.

Later in the article:

The timing of the governor’s request is especially awkward, after The California Post reported that Newsom tucked a vague $20 million “Governors’ Legacies” fund into his final, record-setting $349.9 billion budget plan.

The proposal would give the administration authority to distribute money to state departments for unspecified projects honoring California’s living former governors just months before Newsom becomes one himself. He also hired a dedicated photographer at an annual cost of $200,000.

“This governor’s vanity knows no bounds,” state Republican Sen. Brian Jones of San Diego told the Post.

“It’s truly unreal the brazen, egomaniacal behavior he continues to display. But just like infamous dictators erstwhile and elsewhere, all the gilded propaganda and pageantry won’t fool the real Californians suffering everyday under his regime.”

My God!

According to the New York Post:

Prolific self-parodist Taylor Lorenz wants Mayor Zohran Mamdani to do something about what she calls the woeful state of the Big Apple’s vegan cream-cheese offerings.

The former Washington Post journalist and N95 mask superfan uncorked a Sunday morning treatise urging New York City bagel shops “get with the times” and provide more appealing choices.

“The bagels in LA suck, but all the LA bagel shops at least use cashew-based vegan cream cheese. NYC bagel shops almost never have vegan cc or they’re using hyper processed Tofutti [vomiting emoji]. I hope Zohran can remedy this,” the recent Big Apple expat wrote on X.

The entitled post quickly went viral — reaching more than 2.5 million views — and Lorenz, as she often does, muted comments on the thread in a vain attempt to stifle the torrent of ridicule that soon followed.

But another X user put up a screenshot of her original post, mocking its clueless, big-government sentiment — and throngs responded in support of the tweeter.

“‘I hope the communist mayor can force bagel shops to serve my vegan slop cream cheese,’” the user wrote, mimicking Lorenz in the post accompanying their screenshot.

Here We Go!

According to the Post Millennial:

Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced plans to seize buildings away from their owners and place them under new ownership in a plan that he has called “block by block.” He will also classify homelessness as a “housing problem.”

Mamdani told a crowd of supporters on Tuesday, “When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers.”

“For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves,” he added.

The “block by block” program, according to the mayor’s office, will involve the building of 200,000 “new affordable homes” in the city and spending $22 billion on housing in the Big Apple over the next five years. An additional 200,000 homes will also be made into rent-stabilized properties.

However, the mayor offered no specifics on how seizures and transfers of private property would be carried out legally. One possible avenue is the city’s contentious Third Party Transfer (TPT) program, which previously enabled New York City to foreclose on struggling buildings whose owners had fallen behind on taxes and fines.

The TPT program was suspended in 2019 following pushback from property rights groups and lawmakers. Legislation that could revive it is currently under review by the New York City Council.

Mamdani added in his speech that he will “prove that government can deliver on the solutions to the toughest problems, not just debate them.”

Mamdani went on to say that the presence of a “good government” will be able to “build the solutions we now need” for housing.

As Mamdani presented the plan, Deputy Mayor for Housing and Planning Leila Bozorg also spoke, and said that the “block by block” plan is “clear that homelessness is a housing problem.” The message runs against a recent video that was posted by LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, who said that homelessness is really an addiction problem.

Communism=Famine

According to the Post Millennial:

A petition initiative in Oregon that supporters are seeking to have put on the November ballot would make it illegal to kill or injure animals in the state, a move that opponents say would effectively ban hunting and fishing in the state.

The proposed initiative, called the People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions (PEACE) Act, makes it a crime of animal abuse in the first degree if the person “intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly” causes the death of an animal. The initiative also includes a provision extending sexual abuse of animals to include artificial insemination used on farm animals.

Per KATU2, supporters of the measure have reached the number of necessary signatures, putting it one step closer to being on the November ballot. The Secretary of State’s Office now has to verify the signatures.

Industry groups have spoken out against the measure, with the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association saying that the PEACE Act “would prohibit processing of animals, in addition to restricting hunting and fishing, under the guise of preventing animal cruelty” and remove “the freedom of choice from every consumer.”

The Oregon Farm Bureau wrote, “Initiative Petition 28 (IP 28) asks Oregon voters to dramatically redefine animal abuse in state law by making the killing or injury of animals illegal. While the language may sound straightforward, the implications are sweeping. IP 28 would fundamentally alter Oregon’s animal abuse statutes in a way that criminalizes longstanding, lawful, and necessary activities across agriculture, natural resource management, and daily life.”

“Most concerning for agriculture, IP 28 would redefine “sexual assault” to include routine breeding practices, potentially applying this classification to livestock, equine operations, and even domestic pets. This would expose farmers, ranchers, veterinarians, breeders, and animal owners to criminal liability for standard, humane practices that are essential to animal health, food production, and genetic management,” the Bureau added.

The bureau said that passage of the measure would force Oregonians “either into a vegan lifestyle or to rely on food shipped in from other states or countries. This would increase food costs for families, undermine local food security, and make Oregon dependent on the national and global food supply chain.”

The Oregon Hunters Association said that “approximately one million Oregonians who hunt, fish, trap, or work in agriculture would be at risk of criminal prosecution under IP28,” adding that Oregon’s fishing and hunting industries generate over $1.9 billion in economic activity for the state.

Yes on IP28 states on its website that the measure “would extend the legal protections that keep our companion animals safe to animals currently on farms, in research labs, and in the wild—which would then protect those animals from slaughter, hunting, fishing, and experimentation.” It adds,”IP28 would also expand protections against animal sexual assault by classifying both the masturbation and impregnation of animals as sexual assault even when done for agricultural purposes.”

We believe it is possible to meet all of our needs as human beings while simultaneously meeting the needs of the animals we inhabit this state with. Using the killing of animals as a strategy to meet our needs is a choice, and our campaign wants to propose making a different one. Whether that looks like greater investment in plant agriculture, utilizing non-lethal wildlife management practices, or implementing non-animal methods for research, many alternative strategies already exist to choose from,” the group adds.

She Should Lose Her Job

According to the New York Post:

An Alabama judge has been suspended after she was accused of making racial remarks about a white court clerk and postponing critical hearings for patients committed in hospitals so that she could walk her dogs, according to court docs.

Probate Judge Yashiba Blanchard is facing dozens of allegations of incompetence in her courtroom and creating a chaotic backlog of cases, with one attorney begging for a hearing to go on as scheduled because he was concerned that their client was “going to die.”

Blanchard, who was allegedly consistently late to court, did not hear a single case related to involuntary commitments until nine months into her term — leaving patients languishing in hospital mental wards, according to the complaint filed by the Judicial Inquiry Commission. 

“Judge Blanchard told her staff on one occasion that she was late to her involuntary commitment docket because she had three dogs to walk,” the complaint states.

Outraged hospital staff wrote to Blanchard’s office last year regarding a canceled hearing, which would have caused a patient to “remain hospitalized for an additional two weeks solely due to the lack of timely access to the hearing process,” 1819 News reported.

“Beyond this single case, the cancellation of the docket disrupts unit flow, delays care for other patients needing admission which can pose a threat to public safety and places our staff in untenable operational positions. It is difficult to reconcile today’s action with our shared responsibility to ensure patients receive timely due process and appropriate, least-restrictive care.”

In another of the 24 instances of hearings delayed or canceled outlined in the complaint, an attorney responded to an email about a hearing being rescheduled with a desperate plea: “Just hoping we do not have a continuance because I am so worried that my client is going to die.”

Blanchard is also accused of targeting Chief Clerk Amanda Reid.

When a court staffer told the judge on her first day that she liked Reid, who is white, “Judge Blanchard then said, ‘Oh, I forgot you all like kissing white ass,’” the complaint states.

Blanchard also allegedly moved Reid’s desk to a cubicle in front of her bailiff in retaliation for complying with a subpoena from the Judicial Inquiry Commission, according to WBRC.

In total, Blanchard faces seven charges for violating multiple provisions of the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics. She has been suspended indefinitely.

Episode 1205 – BLASPHEMY!

The DoJ is finally going after the anti-Semitism on college capuses.

A man in Los Angeles is suing the city council after being fired for not supporting the city’s official religion.

And the Texas Dems have a Senate candidate has a rather odd view of the Christian religion. Let’s talk about it.

Systemic Hate

According to the New York Post:

A group of antisemitic UCLA students beat their Jewish classmates unconscious, attacked them with sticks and pepper spray and created Jewish exclusion zones — all while the school did nothing to stop it — according to a new lawsuit against the University of California.

The school allowed for vile antisemitic attacks on Jewish students on the campus following the Hamas attacks on October 7, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division said in the suit, obtained by The California Post.

“Antisemitic hatred against UCLA’s Jewish and Israeli students reached a point where students were physically assaulted, injured, excluded from campus, and deprived of educational opportunities because of their perceived Jewish or Israeli heritage,” the lawsuit said.

The explosive Department of Justice complaint alleges anti-Israel protesters seized control of UCLA’s main quad in April 2024, setting up barricades and physically blocking Jewish and Israeli students from entering classrooms, libraries and walkways.

One Jewish student was knocked unconscious with an open head wound, while others were kicked, beaten with sticks and blasted with pepper spray. Another victim was assaulted and told “Hitler missed one.”

One Native Jewish woman-who counter protested by holding a sign reading “Hamas supporters are not welcome on native land”-was “violently assaulted,” per the complaint. UCLA police were “directly behind [her] and [did] absolutely nothing,” it added.

Protestors established militia-style checkpoints on UCLA’s campus and refused to allow Jews to traverse public property unless those Jews denounced a core tenet of their religion, per the complaint.

The encampment took over Royce Quad — the heart of campus — with barricades, checkpoints and graffiti including “F*** ALL Jews” and ‘F*** Israel’ scrawled on buildings.

The vile students also allegedly set up “human phalanxes” to stop access for Jewish students for some areas — demanding students renounce Zionism to pass through checkpoints.

By the time police finally moved in, the situation had spiraled into what officials later described as a “war zone,” with fireworks, strobe lights and violent clashes between rival groups.

The DOJ says UCLA violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by showing “deliberate indifference” to widespread harassment and discrimination.

More than 100 complaints were filed by Jewish and Israeli students — many allegedly ignored by the school.

Internal findings cited in the lawsuit say UCLA leadership repeatedly refused to enforce its own rules, allowing the illegal encampment to persist for days.

Nearly 60% of Jewish students said they avoided campus at the time, while more than 40% considered leaving UCLA altogether, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit claims UCLA officials knew students were at risk of assault but “took no serious action whatsoever” for nearly a week.

Instead, administrators told students to “avoid the area if they wish” while describing the chaos as “mostly peaceful.”

Behind the scenes, the school chose a “de-escalation strategy” — even as protesters armed themselves with pepper spray, lumber and makeshift weapons

The DOJ also alleged UCLA breached its federal funding contracts and grants by claiming it complied with its Title VI obligations while allowing discrimination against Jewish and Israeli students to persist on campus.

LGBTQ is a Religion

According to Fox News:

A Christian lifeguard for the Los Angeles County Fire Department who says he was punished for his religious beliefs after objecting to Pride flag duties is headed toward trial.

Captain Jeffrey Little, a veteran of more than 20 years in the L.A. County Fire Department’s Lifeguard Division, sued Los Angeles County and several fire department supervisors in 2024 after the county adopted a policy in 2023 requiring the Progress Pride flag be flown at county facilities throughout June to honor LGBTQ Pride month.

Little, a devout Christian, argued the policy conflicted with his religious beliefs about marriage and sexuality and sought a religious accommodation exempting him from personally raising the flag or ensuring subordinates raised it. Little said the county initially granted this accommodation before revoking it just two days later.

Little took down several flags and was later placed under investigation and ultimately suspended for 15 days without pay.

The county says Little was not punished for his religious beliefs but for taking down government-issued Pride flags without authorization and violating department policy.

Jonna also said there were other lifeguards who “vandalized and desecrated” the LGBTQ flag but were either not disciplined or were given shorter suspensions than Little, whom he says went through the proper channels to request a religious accommodation for flying the flag.

The lawsuit alleges Little faced retaliation, harassment and discrimination after requesting the accommodation. It also claims Lifeguard Division Chief Fernando Boiteux told Little that his “religious beliefs don’t matter,” an allegation the county disputes.

This Ain’t My Religion

According to the Daily Wire:

Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico, a Democrat, is again claiming the Bible supports his position that the government should allow the murder of unborn babies up until the moment of birth.

During a recently published episode of the hyper-progressive Jamie Kern Lima Show, Talarico claims the Bible is “silent” on abortion and suggests scripture backs his position that the government shouldn’t restrict abortion at all.

Here’s what he said:

The Left always talks about how rape and incest are the main reason abortion should be allowed. This is dumb. Incest and rape make up about 1% of the abortions.

The reason incest and rape are not considered valid reason is the circumstances that led to the pregnancy doesn’t change the fact that a child has been conceived. The moral dilemma is the same no matter the circumstances. But that is not important. The reality is we would allow for abortion in the cases of incest and rape if the Left got rid of all the other abortions. They won’t do that.

By the way, a 10 year old can get an abortion because a pregnancy could harm the 10 year old. In case of the mother’s life is in danger, you can get an abortion in Texas. That’s just a lie.

The Bible is not silent on the killing of babies.

The Bible is extremely clear about children and their origin.

  • Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you.”
  • Psalm 127:3-5 declares that “children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him” and compares children born in one’s youth to “arrows in the hands of a warrior”.
  • Psalm 139:13-14 celebrates how God forms each child in the womb, describing them as wonderfully made.
  • Matthew 18:3-5 records Jesus saying “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” and teaching that “whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me”.
  • Matthew 18:6 contains one of the strongest warnings about harming children, stating it would be better for someone who causes a child to stumble “to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea”.
  • Matthew 18:10 warns believers not to despise children, revealing that “their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven”.
  • Mark 10:14-15 shows Jesus telling his disciples to “let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these”.
  • Jeremiah 19:4-5 identifies spilling the blood of innocent children as a grave sin that provokes God’s anger.
  • Isaiah 10:2, Ezekiel 22:7, and Zechariah 7:10 all warn against oppressing orphans and vulnerable children.
  • And the Fifth Commandment is “Thou shall not kill.”

But this guy, a fake pastor, recruited by the Devil, I suspect has said many odd things about God.

This is pure blasphemy. It also is a sign that this guy has no idea what the Bible says.

The Old Testement

  • Genesis 19:1–11 – The Sodom and Gomorrah narrative, where attempted male‑on‑male gang rape is described and later interpreted by some traditions as a paradigm of homosexual sin (others emphasize inhospitality and violence).
  • Leviticus 18:22 – “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination” (prohibition within the Holiness Code).
  • Leviticus 20:13 – Parallel to 18:22, prescribing the death penalty for a man who “lies with a male as with a woman.”
  • Ezekiel 16:49–50 – Refers back to Sodom’s sins including “abominations”; some readers connect those “abominations” to same‑sex acts, though the text itself emphasizes arrogance and neglect of the poor.

The New Testement

  • Romans 1:26–27 – Paul speaks of women “exchanging natural relations for those that are contrary to nature” and men “consumed with passion for one another,” committing “shameless acts with men.”
  • 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 – A vice list including terms often translated “men who practice homosexuality,” “male prostitutes,” or “sodomites,” depending on how the two Greek words malakoi and arsenokoitai are rendered.
  • 1 Timothy 1:9–10 – Another vice list including a term often translated “sodomites” or “men who practice homosexuality,” usually understood as paralleling 1 Corinthians 6:9–10.

What About Trans People?

  • Genesis 1:27 – Humanity created “male and female” in the image of God, taken by many as establishing a fixed binary of sex/gender.
  • Deuteronomy 22:5 – “A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this” (often cited directly against cross‑dressing and, by extension, transgender expression).
  • 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 – Paul’s teaching on head coverings, hair length, and honor/dishonor, interpreted by some as condemning men taking on feminine appearance and women taking on masculine appearance.

Episode 1203 – Guys, All Mass Shootings Are Bad!

Dems take it in the teeth in Monday’s primary elections. No one is really talking about it, but I am sure there is some heartburn.

Might there be another daring capture of another communist dictator?

And another mass shooting happens in San Diego. Lets talk about the reaction.

News

Here is some news:

  • Incumbent conservative justices Sarah Warren and Charles Bethel, both appointed to Georgia’s top court by Republican Gov. Nathan Deal, defeated liberal former state Sen. Jen Jordan and attorney Miracle Rankin. 
  • Massie lost his primary election on Tuesday evening to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein. Additionally, other Trump-aligned candidates scored victories, including in Georgia, Alabama, Indiana, and Louisiana, while anti-Trump candidates struggled.
  • The Justice Department unsealed a federal indictment Wednesday against former Cuban President Raúl Castro, accusing the 94-year-old communist leader of playing a central role in a 1996 attack that left three Americans and one United States resident dead.
    • Castro, the younger brother of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, faces charges including conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, destruction of aircraft, and murder, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced in Miami to a cheering crowd. The Trump administration hopes to try Castro on United States soil.
    • The charges stem from a 1996 incident wherein Cuba shot down two planes operated by the Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue. The organization attempted to search for Cubans fleeing the communist country by boat. Four people were killed in the attack.
  • The alleged gunmen in a shooting rampage that left three people dead outside a San Diego mosque have been identified as 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Velasquez, according to a law enforcement source.
    • At least one of the suspects took a weapon from his parents’ home and left a suicide note that talked about racial pride, a law enforcement source told The Post.
    • Clark and Velasquez were found dead inside a BMW from self-inflicted gunshot wounds only a few blocks from the Islamic Center of San Diego.
    • Anti-Islamic writings were found in the suspects’ vehicle and “hate speech” was written on the firearms used in the shooting, according to the source.
    • The teenage San Diego mosque gunmen appear to have left behind a shocking, hate-filled manifesto, which praised Adolf Hitler and a slew of mass murderers, before the attack, The California Post has learned.
    • The document expresses a desire to spark a race war and bring about the end of civilization.
    • Aaron Rogers will retire at the end of the 2026 season.

Why Isn’t This a Story?

According to the Daily Signal:

A teenage stabbing victim bled to death on the street in Southampton after British police arrested and cuffed him rather than his alleged Sikh attacker, after the suspect claimed he’d been racially abused, according to court testimony.

Henry Nowak, 18, a finance student at the University of Southampton, was walking home from a night out in December 2025, chatting with some friends on Snapchat, when he was encountered by Vickrum Digwa, 23. After a brief exchange, Digwa stabbed Nowak with an eight-inch Sikh ceremonial shastar blade, according to court testimony reported by BBC. A post-mortem examination showed Nowak had four stab wounds, BBC reported.

Nowak tried to escape over a fence, but was “aggressively pursued” by Digwa, jurors were told.

However, when Hampshire Constabulary police officers arrived at the scene, they arrested the dying Nowak rather than Digwa after the suspect claimed he’d been “racially abused and attacked by a drunken man,” prosecutor Nicholas Lobbenberg KC said, ITV News reported.

Nowak was handcuffed and police administered first aid before he fell unconscious, according to Lobbenberg. He died a short time later at the scene. “Put simply,” the prosecutor told jurors, “Henry drowned in his own blood, with his lung having been cut by the knife going eight centimeters into him.”

Lobbenberg acknowledged that Sikh males are allowed to carry a knife as part of their religious obligation. Digwa did have a small ceremonial knife called a kirpan in his possession. However, the knife used to stab Nowak was an “extremely large knife” openly displayed over Digwa’s clothing, ITV News reported.

The prosecutor challenged Digwa’s claim that Nowak was drunk, saying the student had drunk less than the law’s drink-drive limit.

This Ain’t Going to Play Well

According to the Daily Wire:

In a direct assault on the constitutional rights of law-abiding Virginians, Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger signed a sweeping package of gun control measures, including a ban on commonly owned semi-automatic firearms and standard-capacity magazines.

Spanberger signed the legislation into law on Thursday, criminalizing the purchase, sale, manufacture, and importation of the AR-15 — the most popular rifle in America — along with a wide range of semi-automatic handguns and shotguns. The National Rifle Association responded immediately, filing a state lawsuit to block these unconstitutional mandates before the ink could even dry.

While the governor attempted to frame her last-minute amendments as “technical changes,” the NRA has denounced them as a transparent attempt to rebrand blatant violations of the Second Amendment.

When she campaigned for governor, Spanberger studiously avoided calling for the kind of ban she just signed, saying instead, “We need to strengthen Virginia’s safe storage laws, prevent the sale of large-capacity magazines, and crack down on criminals who manufacture and possess illegal, untraceable ghost guns — efforts that would keep Virginia’s kids, families, and law enforcement officers safe.”

Just Go Away Guys

According to the Post Millennial:

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe has come under fire for making a joke about George Floyd during the Netflix roast of Kevin Hart, saying that the man whose death sparked the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots across the country was “laughing so hard that he can’t breathe.”

Nekima Levy Armstrong, the former head of the NAACP’s Minneapolis chapter who was arrested in January for storming a church alongside other anti-ICE agitators, said the joke was “not a laughing matter.” The phrase “I can’t breathe” was frequently featured at Black Lives Matter events, referencing words uttered by Floyd as police were attempting to take him into custody.

What a Shock!

According to the Post Millennial:

A suspect drawing swastikas on property in Fayetteville, North Carolina, has been revealed to be a black man who has also been arrested on charges of pointing a gun at people and passing cars.

Taquon Jameek Vereen, 18, has been identified as the suspect who was caught on video spray painting the Nazi symbol on a building as well as other property.

He posted a $1,500 bond on Tuesday for the swastika incident. However, later that same day, he was arrested for pointing a gun at passing cars and people on the street. Police said that they got multiple calls about a black man pointing a gun at people on the street.

He is now being held at $2,500 bond for the charges related to pointing the gun at people on the street.

It Figures

According to the Post Millennial:

A federal judge declared a mistrial on Thursday after a jury failed to reach a verdict in a case against a leftist musician accused of assaulting federal agents during a 2025 demonstration at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon. Assistant US Attorney Kathryn Rykken said the government plans to refile felony charges against defendant Oriana Rebecca Korol.

Korol, 38, of Portland, has been accused of biting and kicking a federal officer while being detained for interfering with a separate arrest. The 12 jurors deliberated for roughly eight hours before US District Court Judge Karin Immergut declared a mistrial after a unanimous decision was not reached, the Oregonian reported.

A tentative new trial date has been scheduled for June 16. The incident occurred on October 12, 2025.

According to court documents, Korol was captured on video footage pulling a male protester away from federal officers who were attempting to arrest him. A Department of Homeland Security Federal Protective Service (FPS) officer pushed Korol out of the way, knocking her to the ground.

While on the ground, Korol allegedly kicked an FPS officer in the right leg. She was placed under arrest but resisted. During a struggle, Korol allegedly proceeded to bite the officer’s left arm with her teeth, according to the affidavit. It took several federal agents to take Korol into custody. 

Judge Immergut informed the jury at the beginning of the case that in order to convict Korol, they would need to establish that Korol had made coercive physical contact with the officer while performing his duties and that the contact had not been conducted in the course of justified self-defense. The judge said that forcible assault happens when someone intentionally strikes or willfully injures another person. 

The foreperson informed Judge Immergut that it would be unlikely for the jury to reach a unanimous decision. The judge thanked and dismissed the jurors and said, “No case is easy. Certainly this case was not an easy one,” according to the Oregonian.

Episode 1201 – Another Good Use of Tax Payer Money!

One of the most evil people alive has been sentenced to life in prison.

The Supreme Court made a rather common sense ruling.

And you’ll love the newest use of your tax dollars in California.

Pure Evil

According to the Post Millennial:

Kouri Richins, the Utah mother convicted of killing her husband and writing a grief-themed book for her children, has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The 35-year-old mother was sentenced after being convicted of aggravated murder and other charges in connection with the 2022 death of her husband, Eric, whom prosecutors said she poisoned with a fatal dose of fentanyl.

During sentencing, Richins delivered a 30-minute statement; much of it directed at her three sons, who are now in the care of their late father’s sister.

“Murder? No, absolutely not. I will not accept that and I will not be blamed for something I did not do,” she said.

“There is always going to be someone out there ready to tear you down, misrepresent you, lie about you, tell you half-truths and judge you,” she added.

Richins told her children, whom she reportedly had not spoken to since 2024 after losing custody, that she was “desperately trying to get into contact” with them. She also told her sons to find peace “on the top of a mountain somewhere” and to be like their father.

The judge in the case rejected the defense’s request for a lighter sentence, ruling that Richins was “simply too dangerous to ever be free.”

That’s One Way to Beat Them

According to the Post Millennial:

The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the federal law does not shield transportation brokers from state negligence lawsuits over hiring unsafe trucking companies. The court held that “A claim that one company negligently hired another to transport goods is not preempted by the [Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act] because States retain authority to regulate safety ‘with respect to motor vehicles’ under the Act.”

The case was brought forth by Shawn Montgomery, who sustained “serious and permanent injuries” after his tractor-trailer was hit by a truck driven by respondent Yosniel Varela-Mojena in Illinois. Varela-Mojena had been hired by the motor carrier Caribe Transport II, LLC, and the broker C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc had coordinated the shipment. 

Montgomery sued the companies, alleging that C.H. Robinson was liable for his injuries “because it negligently hired Varela-Mojena and Caribe Transport. Montgomery claimed that C.H. Robinson knew (or should have known) from Caribe Transport’s safety rating that hiring it to transport goods was reasonably likely to result in crashes that would injure others.”

From the Courthouse News Service:

C.H. Robinson, a freight broker, claimed the FAAAA barred Shawn Montgomery’s lawsuit for the 2017 crash. Montgomery’s tractor-trailer was parked on the side of Interstate 70 in Illinois when Yosniel Varela-Mojena drove full speed into the vehicle. Montgomery suffered severe injuries from the crash, including the amputation of his lower leg.

Caribe Transport, a carrier company that hired the driver, and Varela-Mojena had poor safety records. Months before Montgomery’s crash, Varela-Mojena was involved in another incident where he was said to be operating his truck carelessly. Caribe Transport only operated nine trucks, but it was involved in three reported crashes during a three-month stretch leading up to the accident.

Montgomery filed state-law claims against C.H. Robinson, arguing the broker should be liable for negligently hiring Caribe Transport and Varela-Mojena.

That’s Not a Religion

According to the Post Millennial:

A transgender-identifying New Jersey inmate convicted of sexually abusing his 7-year-old daughter is seeking a settlement with the New Jersey Department of Corrections after filing a lawsuit alleging officials denied him access to Wiccan religious accommodations while incarcerated in a women’s prison.

Marina Volz, born Matthew Volz, is serving a 25-year sentence after being convicted of sex crimes against his own seven-year-old daughter. Volz was sentenced in May of 2022 and initially housed at a men’s facility.

Two months later, he was transferred to a women’s correctional facility. State records reportedly continued listing Volz as male until 2023, when New Jersey updated the inmate’s profile to classify Volz as female.

Volz later filed a discrimination lawsuit against the New Jersey Department of Corrections, alleging violations of religious freedom related to Wiccan beliefs. According to a report from Reduxx, Volz claimed the head of religious services at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility denied multiple requested accommodations, including maintaining a “Witch’s Garden” for growing “sacred herbs.” Volz also sought permission to conduct nighttime rituals while wearing a cloak or while nude.

The trans-identifying inmate has now entered settlement negotiations and reportedly submitted 12 demands as part of the proposed agreement. Among the requests are permission to conduct Wiccan ceremonies outdoors while nude and designation as a Wiccan religious leader within the prison.

Volz also reportedly requested permission to marry Ashley Romero, a co-defendant in the underlying criminal case who is also incarcerated.

This Is Not Good

According to the Daily Wire:

Amazon apparently decided Americans should never have to leave the house again.

The company is now testing a new delivery service that can reportedly get products to your front door in around 30 minutes. So, the days of realizing you forgot toothpaste, paper towels, coffee creamer, or phone chargers may officially be over.

At this point, Amazon isn’t competing with stores anymore. It’s competing with your ability to put on shoes and drive somewhere yourself.

The new service, called “Amazon Now,” is beginning to roll out in several major cities across the country, with more locations expected to follow. Customers will be able to order everything from groceries and snacks to electronics and household items through the ultra-fast system.

The idea behind it is simple: instead of shipping products from giant warehouses far outside city limits, Amazon is relying on smaller local hubs positioned much closer to neighborhoods and downtown areas.

That dramatically cuts delivery times and lets drivers move orders almost immediately after they’re placed.

Translation? Your impulse buys may soon arrive before you even regret making them.

The rollout is part of Amazon’s growing obsession with speed as the company keeps pouring money into faster shipping, AI-powered logistics systems, and even drone technology designed to bypass traffic altogether.

Incredible

According to Chris Ruffo from the City Journal:

Under Governor Gavin Newsom, California has sought to transform its massive prison system into a Nordic-style rehabilitation program. Newsom has placed a moratorium on all executions, transferred condemned prisoners to facilities across the state, dismantled San Quentin State Prison’s death row, and turned the notorious prison into a therapeutic center, with art, classrooms, a café, and podcast studios.

As part of this transformation, the Newsom administration approved a $189 million contract to provide new digital tablets—generic, flat-screen devices in a plastic shell—to every inmate in the state prison system, at “no cost” to offenders. The administration heralded the effort to replace inmates’ old tablets—which were piloted in 2018 and given to nearly all prisoners by 2023—as a step toward “digital equity” for “justice impacted” individuals, who could, in theory, use the devices to contact their families, consume “educational” content, and “learn new technology.”

***

In the 1980s, a rapist and serial murderer named Robert Maury earned the nickname “the Tipster Killer” for calling in anonymous tips identifying the locations of the dead bodies he left behind. During this period, he killed a woman by strangling her with a nylon clothesline, strangled and killed another two women, and brutally raped a fourth before he was caught by authorities.

Now, Maury is living at a state prison facility in Stockton, California, where he has viewed pornography on his taxpayer-funded digital tablet. In an interview, Maury told us inmates can receive “nude pictures” and watch pornography through their devices. In his case, he claimed to have received a topless photo from a 22-year-old German psychology student who was “hoping that I would share my story with her for her class project.” After the student sent the photo, Maury said he “flirted” with her “for a while.”

Maury said another way that inmates can watch pornography is through the video chat application. In this scheme, he explained, an inmate can call someone on the outside, that person can “put porn on their TV,” and the inmate can “watch with them.” Maury specified that he has never explicitly asked anyone to broadcast pornography in this manner, but when it happens, he “just say[s] cool and thank you.”

Samuel Amador, another serial killer who was sentenced to death, had a similar experience. He said inmates watch pornographic videos and have sexually explicit conversations through their tablets. The videos, he said, are delivered in “30 second clips.” Amador has created a rotation on his tablet between explicit and wholesome content: “I watch porn an[d] short clips of my family at the Beach.”

Sometimes, guards catch lewd messages, Amador said. But, in general, the restrictions are easy to evade. “[T]hey try to prevent us,” he said about sexting, “but we get around their bullshit.”

Jamar Tucker, a capital inmate at High Desert State Prison who has killed three men, noted the system’s loopholes. He indicated that while the rules prohibit inmates from receiving nude photos, he has received videos of women “dancing . . . in a thong.” He uses racy photos, he says, for sexual pleasure.

The potential for abuse is obvious. The Newsom administration has made the tablet program universal, with no access-restrictions based on offense. And inmates, including child predators, can communicate with members of the public through their tablets, apparently with no age restrictions, at a cost of five cents per text message or 16 cents per minute of video.

In a recent case, Nathaniel Ray Diaz, who was convicted of committing sex crimes against a 12-year-old girl, allegedly used a prison-issued tablet to contact and exploit her from inside Avenal State Prison. Diaz allegedly told the girl to send him sexually explicit images, which he received through a co-conspirator. The girl reportedly told investigators that Diaz forced her to speak with him through the tablet “for hours, every day,” from the time she came home from school until the prison phones turned off at midnight.

Prosecutors alleged that, in total, Diaz made “thousands of calls” to the girl, violating a no-contact order and—by soliciting explicit photographs and exploiting a minor—committing additional child sex crimes. The Eastern District of California Attorney’s Office told us that Diaz is in custody awaiting trial.

Douglas Eckenrod, former deputy director of California’s adult parole operations, indicated that the Diaz case is only the tip of the iceberg. He was in the room as the state discussed expanding the tablet program after an initial test run, and had raised concerns about pornography, grooming, and other abuses. These were apparently brushed aside. Now, he says, there is no way to monitor the nearly 90,000 inmates in the state prison system who have access to taxpayer-funded devices.

“I would bet my pension that there’s a vast amount of childhood pornography on the tablets,” said the former official. “There are probably several thousand [children] that are currently being groomed.”

***

What is California doing to stop this abuse? Last month, state officials attempted to tighten restrictions on prison tablets, formally banning obscene text messages, sexually explicit images, and sexual behavior on video calls. But death-row inmates we interviewed said that prisoners could easily bypass the restrictions.

Maury, the serial killer, indicated that prisoners, especially younger men who “grew up with the Internet,” have found ways to continue viewing pornography and sending sexual messages to the outside. “If you try hard enough,” he said, there “is always a way around the system.”

Meantime, despite the obvious risks, Governor Gavin Newsom is moving full-speed ahead with his initiative to “reimagine our prison system” and turn San Quentin into “the nation’s most innovative rehabilitation facility.” Newsom has offered no indication that he will reverse course on the free tablet program. In fact, the new vendor contract allows for four one-year extensions, which could push its total cost to $315 million. At least one Democratic legislator is demanding that the state make inmates’ messages free of charge.

Eckenrod, who anticipated the dark side of “digital equity,” believes California has opened the floodgates to abuse. “We created a pathway for them to reach out and groom folks,” he said. “There are going to be victims that didn’t need to have been victims because of these decisions.”

Episode 1199 – They’re Running Out of Time!

Iran is running out of time as they keep slowing walking the peace deal.

A Californian mayor has been arrested for working with the Chinese government.

And the Virginia government loses its battle for redistricting. But they might have something else up their sleeve.

News

Here is some news:

  • Iran has turned over an offer to end the war. Apparently, this offer is not worth the paper its written.
    • The new offer says nothing of giving over their nuclear material.
    • Trump has said that time is running out for Iran.
  • Eileen Wang, former mayor of Arcadia, California, has been charged with acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China and has agreed to plead guilty to the felony offense, the Justice Department announced. She now faces up to 10 years in federal prison along with a potential $250,000 fine, though any sentence would be determined by a federal judge.
    • Federal prosecutors say Wang admitted she acted “at the direction and control” of Chinese government officials from at least 2020 through 2022, coordinating with individuals in the U.S. to spread pro-Beijing messaging, all without notifying the U.S. Attorney General as required by law.
    • The conduct described by prosecutors occurred before Wang took office on the Arcadia City Council in December 2022.
    • Arcadia city officials said the case is tied to Wang’s individual conduct and does not impact city operations.
  • The Supreme Court of Virginia struck down Democrats’ efforts to redraw the state’s congressional map in a move intended to give the Democrats four more seats in Congress and now the party is desperate to overturn the decision in any way possible. This includes attempts to oust the entire bench of the state’s highest court.
    • Over the weekend, a private discussion was held between Virginia state legislators and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to address the issue before them. They were determined, reports The New York Times, to get a new congressional district map in Virginia to gain more Democrat seats. Prior to the new map, the breakdown was 6 Demcorat seats to 5 Republican seats. The new map would likely be 10 to 1.
    • One key part of the plan was to lower the mandatory retirement age for the Virginia Supreme Court justices from 75 to 54, which is the age of the youngest justice on the court.
  • Kiers Starmer, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, has gotten his ass kicked in the last election.
    • He got his ass kicked because of immigration, which has changed the country.
    • He won’t be Prime Minister for long.
  • President Donald Trump said on Monday that he’s serious about officially making Venezuela and its massive oil reserves part of the United States.
    • Trump first hinted at making Venezuela the 51st state in a Truth Social post in March when he wrote, “Good things are happening to Venezuela lately! I wonder what this magic is all about? STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?”
    • Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela’s acting president: “That would never have been considered, because if there is one thing we Venezuelan men and women have, it is that we love our independence process, we love our heroes and heroines of independence.”
    • Rodríguez added that her government would continue to work with the United States in “a diplomatic cooperation agenda.”

Dumbass of the Day

So, let’s see, Spencer Pratt is against:

  • Using taxes to build housing for homeless people.
  • That it is actually illegal to be homeless (loitering).
  • Pratt thinks we need more cops and less social workers to temper crime.
  • He thinks Public Unions should not have political power.
  • Is L.A. on the right track? Really?

What An Idiot

According to the Post Millennial:

Left-wing congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has claimed that the American Revolution was actually a fight against the wealthy class at the time, because of issues such as taxation without representation. This comes on the heels of the politician claiming that nobody can earn a billion dollars.  

Speaking on how she was slammed for her comments on billionaires to a group at UChicago, “They like to talk about American ethos as though it’s an attack on American values, an attack on our idea of success. And first of all, I mean, call me crazy, but I don’t think that every single American aspires to be a billionaire. I think that the our idea of success, they might not object, but I don’t think it’s the universal American ideal.”

Many were quick to point out, however, that the American Revolution was not really a fight over wealth distribution, and that many of the founding fathers were themselves very rich for the time.

This was after she said this:

Episode 1198 – PLEASE, SEND SOMEONE TO JAIL!

Donald Trump needs to throw some of the traitors within our government into prison. I have one example.

The Los Angeles City Council has decided to decriminalize crime which will lead to more car accidents and traffic deaths.

And Kathy Hochul bends to the economic desires of Zohran Mamdani…sort of.

She’s a Traitor

According to the New York Post:

A Democratic lawmaker is drawing backlash after saying she spoke with foreign ambassadors about getting oil to Cuba despite US sanctions, defending the outreach as “literally our right and responsibility.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., made the remarks during a recent Seattle briefing following a congressional delegation trip to Cuba, where she discussed the island’s worsening fuel shortages and US policy toward the communist regime.

“I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places … trying to figure out how to get oil there,” Jayapal said during the briefing, calling the situation on the island “a crisis beyond imagination.”

Jayapal said the event was part of a broader briefing on the humanitarian situation in Cuba following her recent visit.

No Crime, No Criminals

According to the Post Millennial:

The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously this week to ban many types of traffic stops, placing new restrictions on “pretextual” stops to limit when police officers can pull drivers over for minor violations unless there is an immediate public safety concern.

According to The New York Post, the 14-0 vote by the Los Angeles City Council marks the latest effort by progressive lawmakers to reduce police-initiated encounters following years of pressure from criminal justice reform activists after the 2020 George Floyd riots.

Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson, who has pushed the proposal alongside former Councilman Mike Bonin since 2020, described the effort as part of a broader shift in policing policy. “This is a big down payment,” Harris-Dawson said, calling armed responses to minor traffic violations “barbaric” and “wholly uncivilized.”

Under the new framework, officers would face tighter limits on conducting traffic stops for low-level violations. The policy also formally restricts consent searches unless officers have a separate legal justification, such as probable cause or a warrant. Officers would additionally be required to state the reason for a stop on body camera footage before questioning begins and document any additional suspicion that develops during the encounter.

The proposal now heads to the Board of Police Commissioners.

I Guess If You Cry Enough…

According to the Post Millennial:

New York Governor Kathy Hochul unveiled the state’s $268 billion 2027 budget on Thursday morning, including $28 billion for socialist Zohran Mamdani‘s New York City, far from what is needed to close the city’s budget gap. This comes after Mamdani pressured Hochul to raise taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and on corporations. However, she did not mention any tax increases aside for a proposed “pied-à-terre tax” on second homes in the city to raise tax revenue as the Big Apple is facing a $10 billion shortfall in 2027.

“To help out New York City, we’re finalizing the details of a pied-à-terre tax to help close the city’s budget cap without eroding its tax base or burdening hard-working New Yorkers. And I’ll have more to say on that soon, but I want to be very clear, my commitment to New York City has been and always will be ironclad. This budget already includes $28 billion in total aid for the city,” Hochul said.

She noted that the total funding also includes a $9 billion increase from when she took office, but it is only a $2.2 billion increase since the FY 2026 budget was proposed, giving the Big Apple $25.8 billion. The pied-à-terre tax is only expected to raise around $320 million in tax revenue, far from the needed $5.4 billion to close the budget gap in 2026, per the New York Post. The New York City comptroller’s office expects that the $5.4 budget gap will balloon to $10.4 billion in 2027 unless more is done.

Hochul also took aim at the Trump administration, saying that the administration “gutted federal funds that we’ve learned to rely on,” which included $10 billion. She also touted how she has pushed sanctuary city policies, which bar local police from working with ICE to detain illegal immigrants.

The delayed budget, originally due on April 1, comes after Mamdani has been pressuring Hochul and begging for Albany to send them more funding as the Big Apple is facing a $5.4 billion budget gap. Ahead of Hochul unveiling the budget, state lawmakers were working to adjust pension funds and were hashing out up until Wednesday evening. The governor has been adamant that Mamdani needs to shore up some funds in the city in order to save his ever-growing $127 billion budget.

Not Enough

According to California Post:

A former medical staffer at a now-shuttered federal women’s prison in California has been sentenced, marking the final criminal case tied to what authorities describe as the largest sexual abuse scandal ever uncovered inside a US federal prison system.

US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers on Friday ordered Jeffrey Wilson, 32, of Eureka, to serve 4.3 years behind bars after he admitted to sexually abusing an incarcerated woman at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, Fox’s KTVU reported.

The facility, located east of Oakland, once widely known among inmates as a “rape club,” was closed in 2024 following years of misconduct allegations involving staff.

Wilson’s sentencing brings closure to the criminal prosecutions involving 10 former employees from FCI Dublin accused of sex crimes against inmates.

Just Leave!

According to the Post Millennial:

Just weeks before Memorial Day and amid the United States’ 250th anniversary year, a city council member in Lynnwood, Washington, launched into a tirade against the American flag, declaring that the Pride flag is far more relatable to her and suggesting the 27 US flags at Wilcox Park should be replaced.

According to the Lynnwood Times, Councilwoman Isabel Mata made the remarks during the May 4 City Council meeting while discussing the city’s flag display policies. “To me, a pride flag is way more relatable than an American flag. I would not raise an American flag at my house because I just, I wouldn’t. I wasn’t even born here. But I would raise a pride flag,” Mata said.

A couple of things:

  • They are raising the American flag for Memorial Day. That celebrates those who gave their lives for this country.
  • The pride flag represents nothing. People did not die for gay people.
  • There are good things in other cultures, but our culture is the most important and best. Period!
  • Yes, the United States had a troubled history. All countries on the face of the Earth have the same troubled history and most have a worse history!

They’re Still Fighting

According to Reduxx:

A trans-identified male freshman from an elite school in California won the Women’s Varsity 400-meter race at the Prep League Championship Finals last week, defeating a number of more experienced female athletes to the title, including his own sister.

Paul Haaga, also known as “Lina,” won the girls’ final with a time of 59.45 seconds. His older sister, Sienna, finished second with 60.03 seconds.

Haaga attends the elite Polytechnic School in Pasadena, where tuition fees can reach $48,000 or more per year, while his sister attends the neighboring Flintridge Preparatory School. Haaga also helped his team take gold in the Women’s Varsity 4 x 400 relay to clinch first place by just under a second, once again pushing his sister into second place.

Despite only being a 14-year-old freshman, Haaga has already established himself as a strong competitor within multiple girls’ athletic disciplines.

What IS Wrong With People

According to the New York Post:

A heartless Florida woman killed 11 baby ducks by driving her car over the helpless brood “multiple times” because she was ticked off that they messed up her yard, according to police.

Beverly Sasberry, 64, was hit with 11 counts of felony animal cruelty for the shocking April 25 incident outside her home in Jacksonville, the sheriff’s office said on Facebook.

The department said a pair of passersby saw Sasberry behind the wheel of her red Honda Accord as she mowed down the ducklings and turned “her vehicle around multiple times to hit them.”

Later in the article:

The cruel incident comes just over three months after shocking surveillance video footage captured youngsters stomping and killing a duck in Fort Lauderdale.

The clip, which came from a neighbor’s Ring camera, was so disturbing that cops pulled it from the police department’s online announcement of a $5,000 reward for information on the young culprit.

In another gruesome animal cruelty case, Craig Vogt, 61, was arrested by the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office in Florida in September for allegedly killing, cooking and eating two of his pet peacocks.

According to police records, Vogt was angry that his neighbor kept feeding the birds so he killed them in a twisted act of revenge — and put a letter in the neighbor’s mailbox to tell him what he had done.

This Is Not the Solution

According to the California Post:

A newly launched Christian cell-phone network is aiming to be the first in the US to block pornography and LGBT content.

“We are going to create — and we think we have every right to do so — an environment that is Jesus-centric, that is void of pornography, void of LGBT, void of trans,” said Radiant Mobile’s founder, Paul Fisher, to the MIT Technology Review.

The phone network, which is scheduled to launch Tuesday, does not own any cell towers but rather buys bandwidth from T-Mobile, similar to President Trump’s “Trump Mobile” launched last year.

It uses the Israeli cybersecurity firm Allot to sort website domains into more than 100 content categories, blocking all pornographic content.

The company also has a default-on filter targeting “sexuality” content, aiming to remove gender-related and LGBT material from every device on the plan.

Fisher — who previously worked as an agent for supermodels such as Naomi Campbell — highlighted how the technology can even block specific sections of websites, such as a page on the Yale University site dedicated to LGBT issues.

You’ve Got to be Kidding

According to the California Post:

California’s soaring cost for its dragged-out high-speed rail construction was inflated by another recent political embarrassment for the state: labor icon Cesar Chavez.

Calls are growing for California’s high-speed rail to be abandoned completely after revelations this week that the estimated cost of completing the fantasy train project has ballooned to a staggering $231 billion.

We’ve now learned about a billion dollars of that cost stems from a reroute around the resting place of Chavez and his wife at the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument in Keene — and rail regulators are now open to reconsidering, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Board directors at the High-Speed Rail Authority needed to route the train through the Tehachapi Mountains, which separates the San Joaquin Valley from the Mojave desert. Standing in the way was the national monument, a 187-acre compound and former headquarters of the United Farm Workers.

The Authority was under pressure to not disturb Chavez’s gravesite, as he was a revered figure for California Democrats.

Representatives for the Chavez center had argued that plans to expand tracks already near the memorial would be noisy and disrupt visitors. In response, the plan was altered to moved the track three-quarters of a mile away from the monument boundary, becoming a curve that would have to go through roads and tunnels.

That would cost $815 million, officials estimated in 2020 — now around $1 billion with inflation.

Episode 1197 – I Remember When…

Remember when every cop had to wear a body cam because of the “epidemic” of “police brutality”? We actually saw what happened during these police incidents. Well, the Left is changing their minds.

California has a solution to the crisis that involves their high speed train project.

And why do activist judges keep letting illegal aliens murders out of jail?

Do You Remember…?

According to Fox News:

Seattle’s socialist mayor Katie Wilson is facing fierce blowback on social media after a 77-year-old man was seen on video being beaten by two individuals in a crime that was captured by closed-circuit television cameras, a tool that Wilson has denounced in the past as something that makes the community feel unsafe and “vulnerable.”

The elderly man was walking down the street in downtown Seattle last month when two men walking by him stopped, without any provocation, shoved him to the ground and beat him, KOMO News reported. 

Ahmed Abdullahi Osman, 29, was later arrested and charged with second-degree assault, and police are looking for the second suspect. Osman was reportedly booked into jail the night of the assault and then released back onto the streets before a bail hearing. 

Some things:

  • Trump is not going to take over the cameras.
  • You know, Trump is not going to be in office for long.
  • Do you remember when the Left demanded that police all have body cams?
  • Now we actually see what the police have to go through on a daily basis?
  • Now there’s outrage because a police shooting will have body cam footage released immediately and we know the shooting was justified.
  • Now, cameras are racist.
  • I also want to ask, why are cameras racist? Why do they alienate the immigrants? Could it be because they capture the crimes of minorities and immigrants and maybe not all bad things happen because of white people?
  • The stats don’t lie, folks. Immigrants and minorities commit most of the crimes in the United States. We are seeing it right now.

Don’t Fix Anything

According to the New York Post:

Critics of California’s long-overdue high-speed rail project are aghast after statehouse Democrats pushed through legislation that would give the rail auditor the power to shield its reports from the public.

The bill, which passed the California Assembly on Monday and sits at the state Senate, lets the Inspector General do so if publication “would pose a substantial and articulable risk to the project or to state operations if publicly disclosed.”

The role of the Inspector General has gained even more prominence in light of new estimates that the total cost of the train has ballooned to $231 billion. The fantasy project, which broke ground in 2015, is far from finished.

Letting the Inspector General hide details, critics say, is the wrong move.

Insight is needed now more than ever after analysts raised red flags with the High-Speed Rail Authority’s new business plan.  A state analysts’ report warned of “several issues”, such as uncertain funding assumptions and shifting the project’s scope in violation of current state law.

If details are determined confidential, the bill would have the auditor only deliver the report to state officials overseeing the project.

The bill’s author, Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D), dismissed the criticism and said the bill actually improves transparency.

“Concerns were initially raised that this bill would keep information confidential. In fact, this bill does the exact opposite by requiring the inspector general to make its reports public, which is not required under current law,” she said Monday on the Assembly floor.

Why Does This Keep Happening?

According to the Daily Wire:

A federal judge appointed by former President Joe Biden cut an illegal immigrant murder suspect loose, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Bryan Rafael Gomez is wanted in his home country of the Dominican Republic for murder, DHS said Thursday. Despite having an active warrant, U.S. District Court Judge Melissa R. DuBose ordered Gomez’s release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention on Tuesday.

Gomez crossed the border illegally near Lukeville, Arizona, in 2022, DHS said. Border Patrol agents apprehended him at the time and subsequently released him into the country.

The Coordination of the Courts of Instruction of the National District of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, issued a criminal arrest warrant for Gomez for homicide on Jan. 24, 2023, according to DHS.

Officers with the Worcester Police Department arrested Gomez on April 4, 2026, for assault and battery, according to DHS. Local authorities honored an ICE detainer, handing Gomez over to federal immigration agents after he was released on $500 bail.

Gomez had filed a habeas petition, which is a legal challenge to his detention, and DuBose allowed for his release on “minimal release conditions,” according to Fox News.

Why Not?

According to the Post Millennial:

The Department of Justice announced on Friday that it has readopted firing squads as a means to carry out federal death sentences. The DOJ said that the move was part of an effort to “restore its solemn duty to seek, obtain, and implement lawful capital sentences.”

A press release from the department stated, “Among the actions taken are readopting the lethal injection protocol utilized during the first Trump Administration, expanding the protocol to include additional manners of execution such as the firing squad, and streamlining internal processes to expedite death penalty cases. These steps are critical to deterring the most barbaric crimes, delivering justice for victims, and providing long-overdue closure to surviving loved ones.”

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement, “The prior administration failed in its duty to protect the American people by refusing to pursue and carry out the ultimate punishment against the most dangerous criminals, including terrorists, child murderers, and cop killers. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Justice is once again enforcing the law and standing with victims.”

The announcement came alongside the release of a report titled “Restoring and Strengthening the Federal Death Penalty.” In the report, Blanche said that “despite federal prosecutors consistently seeking and defending capital sentences under the leadership of both political parties, the Department had not prioritized implementing them.”

The report stated that under the Biden administration, then Attorney General Merrick Garland “imposed a moratorium on federal executions, directed prosecutors not to seek death sentences, and dismantled the federal government’s capital punishment apparatus. He also recommended that President Biden commute the lawful death sentences of thirty-seven convicted murderers, and he did so without fully considering the views of the victims’ families, the communities that endured these crimes, or the prosecutors who tried these cases. These actions inflicted untold damage on countless lives and, ultimately, on the public’s confidence in the rule of law itself.”

Episode 1196 – Hate the Rich…Until They Leave!

A judge decides to apologize to the would-be Trump assassin because jail is not comfortable.

Zohran Mamdani f-s around and finds out. Will any of the other socialists in the Democrat party learn from him?

And Gavin Newsom tries to convince us his state isn’t bleeding citizens. His presidential aspirations are swirling down the drain.

It’s Not Meant to be Comfortable

According to Fox News:

A federal judge on Monday decried the prison treatment of President Donald Trump‘s alleged would-be assassin, and apologized to him for restrictive confinement imposed by jail staff.

Cole Allen, 31, has been in federal custody since prosecutors say he attempted to gain access to White House Correspondents’ Dinner ballroom and kill Trump along with other high-level government officials.

Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui told an attorney representing the Department of Corrections (DOC) that he was “fascinated and disturbed” by Allen’s treatment in jail. Allen was placed on suicide watch when he was first imprisoned.

Suicide watch protocols mandated that Cole remain 24-hour lockdown in a “safe cell,” have no phone access to call or receive visits from anyone other than his legal team, according to the motion. His lawyers also wanted him to be able to obtain a tablet to assist in his legal defense.

He was also allegedly denied a copy of the Bible despite more than one request.

Prosecutor Jocelyn Ballantine reasoned that since Allen told investigators he did not expect to survive the alleged attack, he could be a danger to himself.

But an incredulous Faruqui wasn’t convinced by that argument. The judge drew comparisons between Allen and defendants arrested for rioting at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

“To me it’s extremely disturbing that he was put in five-point restraints, a person with no criminal history,” Faruqui said, later adding that Allen is presumed innocent. “It’s troubling. I never heard of one January 6 defendant who was put in five-point restraints or in a safe cell. If the only way to keep him safe is the most punitive thing, that’s a problem.”

The judge said even January 6 defendants were only house in a Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF), a less restrictive form of prison housing.

“Pardons may erase convictions, but they don’t erase history,” he said. “They were hanging gallows outside.”

“What am I to say to Allen that this is going to be a fair process if we’re putting him in a safe cell when he’s not supposed to be in there?” Faruqui said. “At a minimum I should be apologizing to him. We are obligated to make sure he’s taken care of. Mr. Allen, I’m sorry that things have not been the way they are supposed to.”

He also addressed Allen directly.

“The jail is going to let me know by tomorrow morning about what’s going on with your housing situation,” he said, “If not, I’m going to have more questions for them. We should be able to get you into the medium portion of the jail, with windows.”

“Legal visits, ask for legal visits, do not accept that these things are acceptable,” Faruqui advised. “We will get you the Bible. If we can get someone vegan food we can get you a Bible, we can make sure you’re not in five-point restraints.”

The judge ordered the jail to update him by tomorrow morning about Allen’s jail accommodations.

There are some things about the judge:

  • In 2023, Faruqui, against the wishes of prosecutors, ordered the release of a man accused of assaulting Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) in her Washington, D.C., apartment elevator. 
  • Couy Griffin, a former New Mexico county commissioner who founded the political group “Cowboys for Trump,” was sentenced to 14 days behind bars for a misdemeanor trespass charge. Griffin entered a restricted area on January 6, 2021, but never entered the Capitol.
    • 14 days in solitary confinement, by the way.
  • The Georgetown Pakistan Public Policy Conclave and the Muslim Bar Association of New York have pages highlighting Faruqui’s career. 
  • The Washington Council of Lawyers supporting his nomination to the District Court of Columbia stated:
    • “As the first Muslim Judge to be appointed to the Federal Court in Washington D.C., Judge Faruqui has also devoted much of his career to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.”
    • The 2023 letter states that Judge Faruqui has “led efforts to reform the criminal justice system.”
  • Seven months ago, he claimed the DOJ had lost credibility under the Trump administration, which provoked a fiery response from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. 
    • Jeanine Pirro responded: “Judge Faruqui has never really met someone with an illegal gun that he hasn’t felt some compassion for. He should do his job as a judge and leave his politics out of it.”

What A Dumbass!

Yeah, his message that billionaire New Yorkers aren’t moving out of New York City is not getting to those billionaires. This is what Mamdani announced last week.

Two things that you should be aware of:

  • He is saying regular New Yorkers are going to end up getting taxed to get the government out of its deficit.
  • He fails to mention that he is over $5 billion over budget.

Do you notice these limousine socialists always say they don’t need rich people? That is, until they do leave and take their money with them. Kathy Hochul said the same thing about billionaires leaving in 2022, and, guess what, they left. Then, in 2026, she was begging them to come back.

Here is socialist Mayor of Seattle, Katie Wilson, saying the same thing when asked about Billion and millionaire leaving Washington State because of her proposed wealth tax:

Living in a Dream

According to the New York Post:

A grim new report found California lost more than 50,000 residents last year, leaving Gov. Gavin Newsom and state officials talking out of both sides of their mouths on which direction the state is headed.

On Friday, the state’s Department of Finance issued a defensive press release blaming a “full year of restrictive federal policy changes” on legal international migration, which slashed California’s population growth by more than half. The agency dismissed the loss of tens of thousands of people as a “slight” population drop that represented less than one-seventh of 1%.

But on Friday evening, Newsom appeared on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” and claimed the state is actually growing.

California also has the highest taxes, highest homeless, highest number of illegal aliens (all on California benefits), highest rents, highest property prices, highest gas prices, and some of the highest crime rates.

He’s also talking about population growth because of illegal immigration.

Four of the state’s 10 biggest cities — including Los Angeles at No. 1 — saw their populations decline last year, with the City of Angels (3.8 million people) seeing a 0.9% decrease in residents. Los Angeles County (9.8 million) also saw a 0.6% decline to claim the top spot among declining counties. 

Overall, the state’s ten largest counties — home to 72% of Californians — lost a combined 52,000 residents.

U-Haul moving truck prices are a re indicator of migration patterns in the United States.

What a Shock

According to the New York Post:

The deranged firebug accused of igniting the devastating Palisades Fire had become “fixated” on Luigi Mangione in the lead-up to the deadly blaze — and then allegedly suggested the inferno was started out of “resentment of the rich,” prosecutors said.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, was obsessed with the accused health care CEO killer and had routinely searched “free Luigi Mangione” and “lets take down all the billionaires” online, court documents show.

In the weeks and hours before allegedly sparking the blaze that triggered the catastrophic Palisades Fire, Rinderknecht — who worked as an Uber driver — ranted to customers about Mangione’s arrest, too.

“Many of defendant’s Uber passengers on December 31, 2024 and January 1, 2025, described defendant as angry, intense, driving erratically, and ranting about being ‘pissed off at the world’ and Luigi Mangione, capitalism, and vigilantism,” prosecutors noted in a trial memorandum.

When asked why someone would ultimately set the blaze, Rinderknecht allegedly responded that it “would be out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money as ‘we’re basically being enslaved by them’ and compared such an act of ‘desperation’ to the murder for which Mangione was charged,” according to the memo.

Rinderknecht has pleaded not guilty to a string of federal arson charges for sparking the inferno that leveled 7,000 homes and businesses, caused $150 billion in damages and left 12 people dead in early 2025.

The alleged firebug has been jailed without bail since his arrest last October.

Episode 1192 – It’s Tax Day! Yay!

Yesterday was tax day! Yay! Wait until you see what they are doing with your money.

Pete Hegseth is on the bad side of a Democratic senator. I’m pretty sure he’s going to ignore her.

And Democrats are already showing what their platform in going to be for the 2026 elections. Will it work?

Have Any of These Guys Read the Constitution?

According to The Hill:

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced a bill on Tuesday that would establish a commission to examine whether the president is fit to serve in office.

More than 70 Democrats called for President Trump’s removal from office after he issued a series of blistering threats against Iran last week, including a stark warning that a “whole civilization will die” if Tehran didn’t strike a peace deal. 

Raskin’s bill would establish a “Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of the Office,” which, if directed by Congress, “shall carry out a medical examination of the President to determine whether the President is mentally or physically unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office.” 

The commission is intended to carry out section 4 of the 25th Amendment, which says that the vice president should serve as acting president if he and a majority of the Cabinet or “such other body as Congress may by law provide” submit a written declaration to the Speaker of the House and president pro tempore of the Senate that the president “is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

While the bill is unlikely to advance in the GOP-controlled Congress, it underscores Democrats’ efforts to push back against the Trump administration.

Bet You’re Thrilled About This

It’s None of Your Business

According to NBC News:

A prominent Democratic senator on the committee that oversees the Pentagon is requesting additional information from the Defense Department following reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is withholding the promotions of several Black and female senior officers.

She ain’t that “prominent.”

NBC News reported last week that Hegseth had blocked or delayed promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military. Some of those efforts are seen as having been targeted because of their race or gender, or their perceived affiliation with the Biden administration’s policies or officials, according to NBC news reporting that cited nine U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Gee, I wonder why they were targeted? Could it be that they were given their positions because they were black or female and not not because they were qualified for their positions?

Hegseth’s actions have raised concern inside the White House, the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill, according to U.S and congressional officials. Some lawmakers, including both Republicans and Democrats, see the decisions as Hegseth taking too far his efforts to scrub the Pentagon of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, according to the officials.

Nope, I guarantee you the White House, Senate, and House don’t care. That’s because it’s not their job to make promotion decisions. Definitely not Republicans. And, yes, Hegseth is wiping out DEI. Trump ran on that.

This is just another attention-getter from another wannabe-presidential candidate that will probably lead to wailing about impeachment.

More of This Please

According to the Post Millennial:

A federal court has stripped a naturalized US citizen of his citizenship after finding he lied about a history of serious criminal activity, including violent extortion, during the naturalization process.

The Justice Department announced that Michael Pizzuti, a native of Italy, had his citizenship revoked by the US District Court for the Southern District of New York after the court determined he illegally obtained it by concealing crimes and providing false testimony under oath.

Pizzuti failed to meet the “good moral character” requirement for citizenship, having committed multiple crimes and then lying about them during his immigration proceedings. The court also found that he engaged in fraudulent concealment and willful misrepresentation of material facts.

Pizzuti’s criminal activity dates back to the late 1990s. From July 1998 through August 2000, he dealt in counterfeit currency, trafficked contraband cigarettes, and participated in a conspiracy involving truck theft and mail fraud. He was arrested and indicted on those charges in December 2001, later pleading guilty and receiving a 15-month prison sentence.

Despite that arrest, Pizzuti moved forward with his naturalization process just months later. On May 2, 2002, less than five months after his indictment, Pizzuti appeared for his citizenship interview and falsely claimed, under oath, that he had never been arrested and had not committed any crimes for which he had not been arrested. Based on those statements, he was granted US citizenship on July 24, 2002.

But his criminal conduct didn’t stop there. Between May and September 2001, Pizzuti carried out a violent extortion scheme against his financial advisor after discovering the advisor had been running a Ponzi scheme using his money. Prosecutors say Pizzuti broke into the man’s home, held him at gunpoint, and forced him to continue the scheme until enough funds were generated to repay his investment. He also destroyed computer records to cover up his actions.

Pizzuti was later convicted in 2005 on charges of violent extortion and obstruction of justice, after he had already been granted citizenship, and was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison.
“Violent criminals like this have no place in our society, and when they lie about those crimes to obtain US citizenship, this Administration will stop at nothing to correct that travesty,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate.
