“You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make.”

Governor Gavin Newsom is demanding that President Donald Trump respond to his threat to redraw the California congressional district maps, as President Donald Trump and others in the GOP have been pushing to redraw district maps in Texas and other states for Republicans to pick up a few more seats in Congress in the 2026 midterms.

Newsom wrote in the letter, dated August 11, “I am writing to ask you to call on the governor of Texas and other red states, who are acting on your request to draw new congressional maps through an unprecedented, mid-decade hyper-partisan gerrymander to rig the upcoming term elections, to stop those efforts.”

July’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report indicates that inflation is cooling more than expected, providing a boost to stock futures and placing greater weight on the U.S. dollar.

Consumer prices rose 2.7 percent in the 12 months since last July. This matched the 12-month period since June and came in below the expected rate of 2.8 percent. Core CPI, often considered a more accurate reading of long-term trends in the economy, rose .3 percent and 3.1 percent from a year ago.

Shelter costs ticked up 0.2 percent, accounting for most of the index’s gain, according to the BLS. Food prices held steady, while energy prices dropped 1.1 percent.

The report was published in June by the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights (EPF), an EU-affiliated pro-abortion group funded by the Bill & Melina Gates Foundation and the George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

The 158-page document is called “The Next Wave: How Religious Extremism Is Reclaiming Power” and claims that “[a] new alliance of religious extremists, far-right populists, and oligarchic funders” is trying to “launder religious extremism into mainstream governance through media, NGOs, political parties, and public institutions.”

No one has asked for Hillary Clinton’s opinion in a long time, but she continues to give it.

The failed presidential candidate and former secretary of state weighed in on President Donald Trump’s decision to restore law and order on the streets of Washington, D.C., slamming her former rival as “unhinged” and pointing to an overall drop in crime in the nation’s capital.

“As you listen to an unhinged Trump try to justify deploying the National Guard in DC, here’s reality: Violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low,” Clinton wrote on X shortly after Trump’s press conference, where he announced the federal takeover.

Token conservative and fan favorite of this season of CNN Scott Jennings came over the top rope on the Leftist mouthpieces on News Night with Abby Phillips over the upcoming Trump/Putin meeting. Here’s a brief summary of President Donald Trump’s record on peacemaking and peace keeping. President Trump is going to make Washington, D.C. safe again and the Left is…mad about it? Because they think crime is down? Let’s throw a little factcheck out there, see what we get. Holes in the ozone layer, melting ice caps, acid rain. The climate change/global warming/the end is nigh doomsayers have said it all. And for their next trick: the Great Barrier Reef. In the words of Donald J. Trump: Wrong.

Last week, Arizona State Sen. Analise Ortiz, vulgarly defended her actions after she admitted to alerting illegal immigrants to ICE presence in her district. The Glendale leftist, who also is accused of doxxing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, shook her fist at “fascists and white supremacists in power in Arizona,” and claimed she had a right to interfere in federal immigration law enforcement activities.

“Yep. When ICE is around, I will alert my community to stay out of the area, and I’m not f***king scared of you nor Trump’s masked goons,” the lawmaker wrote in response to the conservative social media site Libs of TikTok outing Ortiz for “actively impeding and doxxing” ICE.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro on Monday briefly morphed into the Fox News host whose rapier-like response sent liberals quivering.

Pirro spoke with the media to add her endorsement to President Donald Trump’s plan to reduce crime in the District of Columbia by calling out the National Guard and putting the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control.

Although media reports cited that crime overall in Washington has been declining, Pirro lambasted a reporter who seemed fixated on that and not the damage crime is doing to the city.

“It may be down, but the question is always down from what?” she said in a video posted to X.

Last week, a Baltimore judge rebuffed prosecutors’ calls for jail time for a 28-year-old man who brutally assaulted two senior citizens engaging in pro-life activism outside a Planned Parenthood in Baltimore. Instead, Baltimore Circuit Judge Yvette M.

Bryant sentenced the assailant, Patrick Brice, to a year of home detention and three years of probation. As part of the sentence, Brice must also complete anger management classes, go through drug and alcohol testing, and remain in therapy. Brice was found guilty in February of two counts of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment.

On May 26, 2023, pro-life activists Richard Schaefer and Mark Crosby, who were in their seventies and eighties at the time, were praying and sidewalk counseling outside the Baltimore Planned Parenthood. Brice had an exchange with Schaefer, which turned violent. Brice shoved Schaefer into a flowerpot.

Excerpt:

Last Thursday, a Baltimore city circuit judge sentenced Patrick Brice to one year of home detention and three years’ probation after his infamous assault on elderly pro-lifers Mark Crosby and Richard Schaefer.

The grisly assault garnered headlines when on May 26, 2023, Brice, who was 28 years old at the time, savagely battered Crosby, who was 73, and Schaefer, who was 84.

Crosby and Schaefer, who are both devout Catholics, were outside of a Planned Parenthood clinic in downtown Baltimore handing out gift bags to women with information regarding alternatives to abortion.

Brice approached Schaefer and began debating the men over their pro-life views. Schaefer appeared to walk away when Brice suddenly tackled him into a large flowerpot, knocking the elderly man unconscious.

When Crosby went to help Schaefer, Brice shoved him to the ground, then mounted him and punched him in the face. After standing up, Brice forcefully kicked Crosby in the face.

The administrator tells the journalist that these programs have been reimagined and that they’re still doing it. This is going to be noticed by the Trump administration.

School choice activist Corey DeAngelis compiled this Twitter/X thread.

Excerpt:

Over the past year, I have investigated all of the six major cases against Donald Trump that played out simultaneously between his two administrations for my book Breaking the Law. Each one of them involves obvious improprieties that necessitate investigations. In many instances, I believe investigators will find criminal activity, which ought to be prosecuted.

It is encouraging and heartening to see that the Department of Justice has taken up a criminal investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia “Tish” James and that the Office of the Special Counsel is investigating Special Counsel Jack Smith. This could mark a new era of accountability in this country and a return to law and order.

A top talent at ABC News admitted she was recently the victim of a violent crime in Washington, D.C., underscoring the need for a greater law enforcement presence in the nation’s capital.

Kyra Phillips, who has been with the network since 2018, recalled on Monday her recent encounter with a “half-dressed” man who mugged her in downtown D.C. She cited the instance as a “firsthand” experience felt by many others as they brave the pedestrian commute to work each day.

“I can tell you firsthand here in downtown DC, where we work, right here around our bureau, just in the past six months, you know, there were two people shot, one person died, literally two blocks down here from the bureau,” Phillips explained.

Donald Trump did a thing, causing Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) to have a knee-jerk reaction to said thing that they didn’t think through. Washington DC is a cesspool edition: Trump is against DC being a violent cesspool, so the media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) have to claim it isn’t. As Scott Jennings points out during another 4-on-1 handicapped match on CNN, no one is buying it.

Ponder this quote from yesterday as you continue: “Donald Trump has some of the best political instincts of any politician…”

Democrats and the media (again, I repeat myself) have decided on 30% as the statistic to claim Trump is spreading fake news, because, ACKSHUALLY, DC isn’t mostly violent anymore. It’s only very much violent. As Jennings says, good luck with that.

Whoops, wrong post. Here’s Jennings.

You know who also isn’t a fan of the alleged “30%?” Gregg Pemberton. He’s the chairman of the DC Police Union. You know, the guys who put their lives on the line every day they leave their families to go to work.

This is what Trump understands that the media and the Democrats (do I have to say it again?) refuse to. The Trump Admin is well aware of statistics claiming crime in D.C. “has fallen significantly from COVID-era highs.” And yet, residents of Washington DC don’t feel 30% safer than they did 30 years ago. According to a recent poll, half of the city says crime was an “extremely serious” problem, or at least “very serious.”

On Aug. 1, The Denver Post exposed the names, locations, voter registrations, and employment of three private citizens who legally obtained public information and sent some to the popular social media account Do Better Denver. On Aug. 7, a Denver Post columnist defended the paper’s decision to dox the three women for sharing public information.

“People who claim to be citizen journalists must stand by their work with a byline and endure the negative comments and threats that come with the job,” wrote Denver Post columnist Krista Kafer.

The Post identified the three people it doxxed by doing a public records request for those women’s public records requests: “The Post filed open records requests to obtain copies of requests tied to DoBetterDNVR,” wrote The Post’s crime reporter Shelly Bradbury in her Aug. 1 article. On Aug. 5, the Denver Gazette confirmed the three doxxed women are not the account administrator. The public records they shared with the accountholder comprise less than 1 percent of Do Better Denver posts.

Error-prone science reporter Apoorva Mandavilli, infamous for her alarmist and faulty COVID-era reporting, made the front page of Monday’s New York Times with a story on a gunman’s assault on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta that killed a policeman, “C.D.C. Shooting Followed Years of Demonization — Staff Feels Betrayed as Fears Come True.

The story served both as news and, for Mandavilli, a way to again smear those who opposed the bureaucratic authoritarianism (mandatory masking and vaccines, shuttered small businesses, theatres, and schools) of the COVID era. She quickly took the conservative “disinformation” angle.

The day after a lone gunman opened fire on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, killing a police officer and shattering windows across the agency’s campus, employees were reeling from shock, fear and rage.

Democrats are increasingly explicit about their goals to turn illegal aliens into future voters — making Republican talk of amnesty or compromise more worrisome. Those efforts would be nothing less than hammering the final nails into the coffin of both the Republican Party and America.

At a Fort Worth “The People vs. The Power Grab” rally, Beto O’Rourke laid it out plainly.

“We absolutely failed to live up to the expectations that we set, so next time we win power, we’re going to drive that car like we stole it,” O’Rourke said. “We’re going to legalize every DREAMer, every DREAMer’s parents, every hardworking American doing backbreaking work that makes this country so g-dd-mn great in the first place, even greater as US citizens.”

Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg ordered the release of documents in Jack Smith’s classified documents case and President Trump’s attorney-client privilege dispute.

Jack Smith relied on a DC grand jury and radical Marxist Obama-appointed Judge Beryl Howell in the classified docs case before quietly heading down to Florida to file charges.

Judge Beryl Howell ruled against Trump at every turn. She previously ordered Trump’s lawyer Evan Corcoran to testify before a grand jury in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.

President Donald Trump’s decision to place the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C., under federal control and deploy National Guard troops in response to the city’s escalating crime crisis has ignited a firestorm of predictable resistance from Democratic leaders and their media allies. Despite glaring evidence that crime spirals out of control in the nation’s capital, Democrats cling desperately to a narrative of declining violence, parroting doctored statistics and political spin as though doing so magically erases the reality that D.C. residents face.

I mean, they’ve been calling them Nazis and fascists for months, so why not call them terrorists? The ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids on illegals have hilariously and predictably shredded the Democrats’ ‘we’re the real ones who back the blue’ nonsense, which was an offshoot of their January 6 antics. If you didn’t notice, you didn’t miss much. No one cares about that little riot, and Biden’s utterance was overshadowed by the man’s awful physical and noticeable edits, which were done to make him seem less stunad.

Newly declassified FBI memos reveal how extensively former FBI Director James Comey used his longtime friend Daniel Richman as a secret media conduit to strategically leak classified information to the media in 2016 and 2017 in an alleged effort to take down President Donald Trump.

FBI Director Kash Patel delivered a tranche of the Bureau’s internal memos on leak investigations to Congress earlier this week.

The memos provide details on multiple classified leak investigations involving Comey, including: Arctic Haze, Tropic Vortex, Foggy Falls, Riding Hood, Sirens Lure, Echos Fate, and Genetic Christmas, Just the News reported.

One of my maxims in covering politics and the press is that whenever you see changes in the language, that is where you can spot a problem in the messaging. The need to alter terminology and definition is done to control the narrative, so when you see these alterations, you know some trouble in the delivery took place. A couple of new options are emerging in the media, a sign that they are losing the handle on national narratives.

President Donald Trump announced Monday that he is placing Washington D.C. police under federal control and deploying 800 National Guardsmen to combat the rampant crime and homelessness plaguing the nation’s capital.

Trump signed two  Executive Actions in the Oval Office Monday morning to deal with the crime conditions in the city:

1. Declaring a Crime Emergency in D.C.
2. Mobilizing the D.C. National Guard

Speaking to reporters at the Kennedy Center Wednesday, President Donald Trump gave a preview about how his administration plans to make Washington D.C. not just safer, but functional and beautiful again.

“We’re going to redo roads. We’re going to redo the medians, the pavers,” Trump said. “We’re going to take all the graffiti off. We’re gonna have to remove the tents and the people that are living in our parks. We’re going to be redoing the parks—the grasses and all.”

During a briefing at the White House Tuesday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed options for the homeless.

“Seventy homeless encampments have been removed by the U.S. Park Police,” Leavitt revealed. “There are only two homeless encampments remaining in D.C. federal parks under the National Park Service’s jurisdiction, and the removal of those two remaining camps is scheduled for this week.”

“If they refuse [removal], they [homeless] will be susceptible to fines or to jail time. These are pre-existing laws that are already on the books. They have not been enforced,” she continued, adding there are options to go to shelters or seek substance abuse treatment.

Civil rights grifter Al Sharpton has accused President Donald Trump of “race-baiting” by taking federal control of the police department in Washington, D.C., to crack down on violent crime in the nation’s capital.

During a Tuesday appearance on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” Sharpton claimed that Trump is targeting “black mayors” by deploying the National Guard to tackle surging crime.

“Reverand” Sharpton promoted the Left’s false claim that violent crime has reduced in D.C. and other Democrat-run cities.

“The data says that crime and violent crime has gone down in Washington, he’s going to send out the National Guard,” Sharpton alleged.

During the first year of the Biden administration, NASA produced a comic book about how a “first woman and the first person of color will walk on the Moon.”

The agency followed that by publishing an additional graphic novel about the fictional character, Callie Rodriguez, and adding a “diverse crew” to join her, according to a NASA press release that quoted then-NASA Administrator Bill Nelson saying, “Diversity is at the core of NASA’s missions and the reason we continue breaking the boundaries of what’s possible. ‘First Woman’ embodies the rich history of countless women who broke barriers and continue to lead NASA to the stars.”

Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott ended Democrat Governor of California Gavin Newsom and Texas Democrats who fled the state with a hilarious, brutal message, saying he’s still got plenty in his arsenal in this fight over redistricting.

Speaking to Glenn Beck on his podcast on Wednesday, Abbott literally laughed off Newsom who threatened him the day before to stop his plans to vote on a new congressional map that will give Republicans five more seats or else he would, somehow, add five more seats in CA to nullify the move, in a state that Democrats have already gerrymandered to benefit their party.

A bombshell set of newly declassified FBI documents is creating questions over former FBI Director James Comey’s role in shaping the “Russia collusion” narrative against President Donald Trump — and whether classified information was intentionally leaked to damage Trump’s presidency.

The revelations were discussed by Just the News founder John Solomon during an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity, where he detailed how Comey bypassed official FBI press channels to manipulate the media narrative in Washington. According to Solomon, Comey sought to rehabilitate his image among Democrats after the 2016 election while simultaneously harming Trump’s reputation.

“What you find out is that James Comey decided not to work through the FBI press office when he wanted to change the narrative

Local leaders in Cincinnati are calling for white victims of a brutal downtown mob attack to face charges.

However, the city’s police union says the move is politically motivated and undermines the integrity of the investigation.

The July 26 assault at the corner of Fourth and Elm Streets left six people injured and sparked national outrage after video of the beating went viral.

All seven individuals arrested in the attack are African American.

Despite prosecutors identifying the white individuals targeted in the incident as victims, Democrat Ohio state Rep. Cecil Thomas and other city officials are demanding additional arrests.

There was a massive and unprecedented decline in the foreign-born population in the United States between January and July of this year, with some 2.2 million fewer immigrants present in the country.

According to a Tuesday analysis of Current Population Survey data from the Center for Immigration Studies, the total “foreign-born population of all ages, both in and out of the labor force” decreased by an “unprecedented” 2.2 million during the first seven months of the year.

The falloff in the “total foreign-born” population was entirely comprised of non-citizens, as the number of naturalized U.S. citizens has “actually increased some since January,” per the analysis.

A Kentucky man who was sentenced to 14 years in prison last year but was put back on the street five months after his sentencing has been arrested after a Louisville woman and her children were kidnapped at knifepoint.

Armond Langford. 32, was arrested Friday after a six-hour manhunt, according to WHAS-TV.

Before his arrest, a woman and her two children were kidnapped. The woman said she was forced to drive to a bank as Langford demanded $20,000.

“He opened our back door and told them to get in the car…. They got in the car. They drove to the bank. He held a knife at her the whole time, he was telling her to drive faster,” Brandon Strong, husband and father of the victims, told the TV station.
