Governor Gavin Newsom suggests California universities explore giving preferential treatment to descendants of slaves but vetoed a bill that would mandate such preferences, calling it ‘unnecessary’ as universities already have the authority to do so.
Democratic Assemblyman Isaac Bryan introduced the legislation to address California’s role in slavery and promote reparations, but legal experts warned it could violate federal affirmative action laws.
Newsom vetoed several bills related to preferences for descendants of slaves, citing potential legal risks and increased costs to the state while emphasizing the need for careful consideration of admissions policies.
On Sept. 30, hours before the federal government shut down, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had a baffling act to fit in. The FDA stealthily approved a new generic version of the abortion drug mifepristone.
Ironically, the approval came barely a week after the administration warned pregnant women to reconsider taking Tylenol to avoid harm to their unborn children.
State Department revokes six visas over offensive Charlie Kirk assassination comments
The State Department on Tuesday said the United States isn’t obligated to take in foreigners who wish harm on Americans, before posting a list of six individuals whose visas were revoked for making vile comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The agency noted that the Trump administration will take action against those celebrating Kirk’s death.
“The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk,” the agency wrote on X. “@POTUS and @SecRubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.”
Woodyard targeted Megyn Doyle and Ava Kwan, the chapter’s treasurer and outreach coordinator, respectively, for removal from their positions within the organization.
Rutgers University director for student involvement Karima Woodyard is asking that two Turning Point USA officers be removed from their positions after their work to call attention to professor Mark Bray, an Antifa financier. Woodyard targeted Megyn Doyle and Ava Kwan, the chapter’s treasurer and outreach coordinator, respectively, for removal from their positions within the organization.
Mexican drug cartels have seen their profits decimated as the Trump administration ramps up its drone strikes on traffickers and pressures the country’s government to root out corruption and supply chains. Now, the drug lords are striking back, offering contract killers five-figure paydays to kill federal agents.
An epicenter of the conflict is Chicago which, although far from the southern border, has become a battleground between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the cartels supplying the windy city with drugs and illegal immigrants.
The Gateway Pundit reported that far-left New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) was blocked from walking with her graduating class at the US Naval Academy (USNA) after being caught up in a cheating scandal.
According to records obtained by The New Jersey Globe, Sherrill’s name “was not included on the commencement program” during the May 25, 1994, ceremony.
Despite the USNA’s honor code, the congresswoman said she was barred because she would not “rat out” classmates involved in the scandal.
Back in August, former DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine was beat up by “youths” in Washington, DC after he intervened in a carjacking….
And the teens who assaulted Coristine are proof of that. Despite the violent attack that was allegedly part of an attempted carjacking, they were sentenced to probation:
Democrats are struggling right now with addiction. Addiction to perpetual inanity (and insanity), sure. Addiction to standing up for criminals at the expense of the American people, without a doubt.
But they’re also addicted to engaging in sad, little stunts that at best are embarrassing and at worst are, by their own definition, insurrection-y.
See their pathetic “Choose Your Fighter” video as an example. Or Hank Johnson’s bizarre anti-Trump guitar solo. Or any of Eric Swalwell’s TikTok videos or the embarrassing ones. And, have we mentioned the “TACO” protests yet?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said he believes there is little chance a Palestinian state could exist as a completely autonomous, sovereign state side by side with Israel.
Pointing to historical precedent, Netanyahu argued a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza would leave a security vacuum in the region, allowing radical groups to assert military power. His justification for a long-term Israeli military presence comes as Gazan clans or local militias opposed to Hamas’s rule have been rounded up and executed by the terrorist group after Israel withdrew some forces to make way for phase one of President Donald Trump’s peace deal.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith spoke out for the first time about his politically motivated investigations into President Trump during a sit-down conversation with dirty prosecutor Andrew Weissmann at the University of London.
Andrew Weissmann ran Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia witch hunt, and many believe he was involved in other cases against Trump.
Katie Porter (or as one of you dubbed her, “Katie Porker”) is somehow, against all odds, the front-runner in the CA Governor race.
A face and a personality that only her mother could love, she is somehow leading in the CA Governor race, and surely there’s no rigging or interference of any kind, right?
Anyway, I digress.
Katie Porker, errrrrrr I mean Katie Porter has been in the news a lot the past week not for her great campaign but for some pretty horrific videos that have gone viral.
Luis Gerardo Pirela-Ramirez and Yonder Enrique Tenefe-Perez were taken into custody on Tuesday morning for allegedly ramming the vehicle and attempting to flee the scene.
Two Venezuelan illegal immigrants were arrested in Chicago on Tuesday after allegedly ramming their vehicle into a Border Patrol vehicle.
A senior DHS source told Fox News that Luis Gerardo Pirela-Ramirez and Yonder Enrique Tenefe-Perez were taken into custody on Tuesday morning for allegedly ramming the vehicle near South Avenue N and attempting to flee the scene.
Sen. Josh Hawley, introduced legislation to close loopholes in Obamacare that allow tax dollars to fund abortions. It’s a move pro-life advocates hailed as a critical step to protect unborn children amid a contentious government shutdown Democrats have forced on Washington.
The bill, dubbed the “No More Loopholes Act,” would expressly prohibit any Obamacare health plan from covering abortions, with very narrow exceptions for cases of rape, incest or when the mother’s life is threatened.
The measure is targeting state-level workarounds and separate billing schemes that skirt the Hyde Amendment’s restrictions on federal funding for elective abortions.
Evidence undergirding the federal government’s case against New York Attorney General Letitia James has finally been made public, and the results are disastrous for the anti-Trump Democrat.
James, 66, faces 60 years in prison if found guilty of falsifying documents submitted to mortgage authorities when she purchased a Virginia homestead in 2020. The acquisition came with a “second home rider” that stipulated she would use the home as her primary residence.
That never occurred, however, and other media reports have suggested that James may have been harboring a fugitive and family member at the second house instead.
Tennessee Republican Congressman Tim Burchett is calling for Netflix executives to explain the massive amounts of “demonic” transgender content in its children’s programing.
Burchett and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R, KY) have presented the streamer with a letter calling executives to a committee hearing after learning of the cartoon series called, Dead End: Paranormal Park, which was aimed at children under 13, featured a transgender main character.
“We need to get them for the committee and ask them what their intentions are with this and if, in fact, they realize what the heck is going on,” Rep. Burchett told Fox News.
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) will introduce legislation this week that would bar Affordable Care Act (ACA) healthcare plans from covering abortion procedures and gender transition treatments for minors.
While the Hyde Amendment prohibits federal funds from directly paying for elective abortions, many Obamacare exchange plans still include abortion coverage through state-level carve-outs and separate billing arrangements.
Hawley’s proposal would close those loopholes, ensuring ACA plans cannot offer abortion coverage except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is at risk.
Former President Barack Obama and California Governor Gavin Newsom are urging Californians to vote in favor of Proposition 50, a ballot measure that would replace the state’s independent redistricting system with a legislature-approved map projected to eliminate several Republican-held congressional districts.
On Tuesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom posted on X, “Listen to @barackobama,” sharing a new video featuring former President Barack Obama encouraging voters to support Proposition 50 in the state’s November 4 special election.
In the video, Obama says:
“California, the whole nation is counting on you. Democracy is on the ballot November 4. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. With Prop 50, you can stop Republicans in their tracks. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, which preserves Independent Redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. Return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.”
The ad marks Obama’s latest effort to promote Gov. Newsom’s redistricting plan, which would replace California’s independent redistricting commission — created by voters in 2008 — with a partisan-drawn map. According to previous Breitbart News reports, the proposal would reduce Republican-held seats in California’s congressional delegation from nine to five, even though roughly 40 percent of voters supported Republican candidates in the 2024 election.
Obama has described Newsom’s proposal as a “reasoned and measured approach,” writing on X in August, “Over the long term, we shouldn’t have political gerrymandering in America, just a fair fight between Republicans and Democrats based on who’s got better ideas. But since Texas is taking direction from a partisan White House and gerrymandering in the middle of a decade to try and maintain the House despite their unpopular policies, I have tremendous respect for how Governor Newsom has approached this. He’s put forward a smart, measured approach in California, designed to address a very particular problem at a very particular moment in time.”
At a fundraiser on Martha’s Vineyard, Obama praised the initiative further, saying, “We’re only going to do it if and when Texas and/or other Republican states begin to pull these maneuvers. Otherwise, this doesn’t go into effect.”
California Republicans have sued to stop Newsom’s plan, calling it unconstitutional and arguing it violates the 30-day public notice requirement for legislation. The California Supreme Court, however, ruled in August that the plan could proceed, allowing the governor to use a “gut and amend” tactic to fast-track the measure through the legislature.
The special election — estimated to cost $250 million — will ask voters to approve the new map and amend the state constitution to permit mid-decade redistricting. The Democratic National Committee has launched bilingual outreach campaigns in support of Prop 50 focusing on Latino voters, while major donors including billionaire Tom Steyer have funded multimillion-dollar ad campaigns promoting the initiative.
Polls indicate that a majority of Californians still favor retaining the state’s independent redistricting commission. A UC Berkeley–Politico survey found that 64 percent of voters prefer the current system, compared to 36 percent who support the governor’s proposed changes.
California’s redistricting fight is part of a broader national battle following Texas’s new “One Big Beautiful Map” which adds five Republican-leaning districts. Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder, through the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, have pledged to counter GOP-led redistricting efforts, characterizing them as “an existential threat to our democracy.”
Congressional Democrats reportedly plan to continue the government shutdown standoff for several more weeks in an attempt to force Republicans to accept their healthcare demands.
Democrats are digging in, even as active-duty military service members risk missing a paycheck on October 15, because they believe they are “winning the messaging war,” as CNN put it.
One senior Democrat aide told CNN that as long as public perception is in their favor, the party will not concede short of “planes falling out of the sky,” presumably due to air traffic controller staffing shortages.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday called that comment “one of the most disgusting statements I’ve ever read.”
Early polling of the shutdown showed clear majorities of Americans blaming Republicans for the standoff, but the polls have tightened since then.
On Sunday the New York Post reported that New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s campaign took in nearly $13,000 in “potentially illegal foreign donations.” Unsurprisingly, the party that spent four years claiming “no one is above the law” when justifying their lawfare against President Donald Trump is now silent on such alleged election law violations simply because Mamdani is one of their own.
According to the Post, “At least 170 of the nearly 54,000 contributions … came from donors with addresses outside the United States, an examination of NYC Campaign Finance Board records found.” As noted by the Post, only U.S. citizens or permanent legal residents can legally contribute to political campaigns and action committees. Any illegal donations must be returned.
Jihadi Zohran Mamdani ran for Gaza on the day the hostages were released -the UNRWA 5K for Gaza. UNRWA, the organization UNRWA whose employees took part in the October 7th massacre and subsequently kept the hostages in captivity. This is who Mamdani is raising money for.
The federal government has already cut off funding to this terror linked organization last year.
Mamdani wants to keep the refugee status of Palestinians into perpetuity to help with his cause of the eliminating Israel.
First his wife glorifies a Hamas Terrorist on her Instagram Stories.
Then he raises money for Hamas-run UNRWA.
No self-respecting New Yorker should vote for Mamdani as Mayor of NYC. https://t.co/p3VQHtOZWJ
This morning I ran the NYC Gaza 5K in Prospect Park for the third time, alongside the Harlem Run Club, to raise money for @unrwausa, which delivers critical humanitarian aid and services to Palestinians in Gaza.
A coalition of news outlets, including the conservative Newsmax, said they wouldn’t sign the Pentagon’s new document outlining new press rules.
The group, which includes the Washington Post, the Atlantic, Reuters, NPR, Newsmax, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, the Associated Press, and the New York Times, argued that the new rules violate the First Amendment.
“Journalists from the New York Times will not sign the Pentagon’s revised press pass policy, which threatens to punish them for ordinary news gathering protected by the First Amendment,” the New York Times’sstatement read. “Since the policy was first announced, we have expressed concerns that it constrains how journalists can report on the U.S. military, which is funded by nearly $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars annually.”
President Donald Trump has suggested that the U.S. could send Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine if Russia refuses to move toward a settlement in the ongoing war.
Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump described the Tomahawk as “an incredible weapon, a very offensive weapon.”
Trump hinted he would use the prospect of deployment as leverage in upcoming discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I may tell him [Putin] that if the war is not settled, we may very well,” Trump said.
Journalist James O’Keefe has done it again, this time exposing a U.S. State Department diplomat via hidden camera for dating a CCP leader’s daughter and hiding it from the government.
“‘I Defied My Government for Love’: US State Department Foreign Service Officer Dated Senior CCP Leader’s Daughter, Admits ‘She Could Have Been A Spy,’ Refused to Report Her,” reads the headline of O’Keefe’s latest exposé.
“This is Daniel Choi, worked at the State Department for almost 20 years and was in charge of vetting all student visas from China, a program that recent arrests show has become less about education and a pipeline for infiltration and espionage,” O’Keefe tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”
“This is a guy in the State Department talking to a random stranger about how he’s sleeping with a Chinese spy,” O’Keefe explains.
During an interview on The National Desk (NTD), FBI Director Kash Patel addressed growing public concern over whether billionaire George Soros and his Open Run Foundation are funding anti-American movements. When asked directly if the foundation was supporting terrorist organizations, Patel declined to confirm or deny, saying he could not comment on ongoing investigations.
Turning to the issue of Antifa and the president’s new executive order granting expanded authority to federal agencies, Patel explained that investigators are focusing on financial networks behind the unrest. “The one thing I’ve done my entire career under investigations,” Patel said, “is follow the money.”
This country needs better foster parents, and the State of Massachusetts is no exception. That’s why it’s not only bizarre but deeply unserious that DCF has decided to revoke the foster license of one caring couple. Whether or not this has something to do with their Christian faith, well… you will have to do the math.
A married couple from Woburn, Massachusetts, had their foster care license revoked after declining to sign a gender-affirming policy agreement required by the state’s Department of Children and Families (DCF).
Skirmishes between ICE and “activists” continue to break out in Chicago, and some “journalists” are learning that claiming that title after the fact isn’t a get-out-of-detainment-free card.
Despite the Democrat-led city being ravaged by a murder epidemic, mostly caused by out-of-control gang violence, left-wingers have decided that the real problem is ICE deporting violent illegal aliens. Using tracking apps and other means, they show up at facilities and during raids to try to impede federal immigration officials. One of those people was Debbie Brockman, who is a video editor and producer for the creative services department of Chicago television station WGN.
Video shows her pinned on the ground by ICE agents as she’s detained and placed in the back of a vehicle. During the scene, she started proclaiming she’s a journalist.
Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger refused to answer whether she still supports Jay Jones, the Democrat nominee for attorney general, after his text messages revealing he wanted to see a political rival and his children dead were exposed.
During a debate Thursday, Spanberger had the opportunity to come out against Jones, but she refused, only stating that she denounced his violent messages.
🚨SHOCKING
Abigail Spanberger refuses to say whether she still supports Jay Jones despite his political violence texts.
“Thank you, I didn’t hear an answer there on the endorsement issue so I just want to make sure, will you continue to endorse Jay Jones to be the next attorney general of Virginia and were you aware of these text messages before their release?” the moderator followed up.
‘I have family who don’t look like you who are triggered … I will be very candid with you‘
The coordinator of student-government programs at Oklahoma State University allegedly reprimanded a student who gave a small tribute to Charlie Kirk at a meeting just hours after Kirk’s assassination.
According to the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, Josh Wilson, a member of the OSU student government and debate society, “took a few moments to speak to fellow students” at a Student Government Association meeting that had been scheduled the day of Kirk’s murder.
“Wilson’s Sept. 10 speech contained no references to Trump, nor did it advocate for the election of any political figure or call for support of any political party,” according to the report.
“Instead, Wilson called Kirk ‘a father, a husband, a devout Christian, and a shining light for so many,” and “recalled that during Kirk’s April visit to OSU, Kirk was able to ‘provoke discussion and dialogue among countless students on this campus.’”
Trump held a White House event late on Friday afternoon, supposedly about drug prices, that, if it were covered by an objective media that was complicit and collaborating with the current administration, would sound alarm bells about whether any Democratic president ever sounded as incoherent as Donald Trump did.
The video can be easily glossed over, especially when someone has told as many lies and babbled as many words as Donald Trump has over the past decade, but transcripts of the words that the man actually puts together are more revealing.
Time for another entry in the continuing saga of the U.S. government being reassigned to work on President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
In the most recent development, hundreds of Department of Homeland Security employees in jobs unrelated to immigration have been ordered to transfer to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Border Patrol, and the Federal Protective Service.
You might not be as familiar with the last one, which protects federal buildings. That might sound a bit sleepier than working for ICE or CBP, but not these days.
