SACRAMENTO, CALIF - California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) called a special session of the California legislature to “Trump-proof” the state against whatever the incoming federal administration intends to do — provoking a rebuke from the President-elect.

“I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration,” Newsom posted on X (formerly Twitter).

“Whether it be our fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, or climate action — we refuse to turn back the clock and allow our values and laws to be attacked.”

President-elect Trump responded on his social media platform, Truth Social, accusing Newsom of “using the term ‘Trump-Proof’ as a way of stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to ‘Make California Great Again’.”

Newsom may try to become the leader of the so-called “resistance” to Trump — a glorified and controversial term for “opposition” — but it may prove more difficult for him, given that Trump won a popular majority, and nearly 40% of the vote in California itself.

Newsom clashed frequently with the first Trump administration, often over issues such as immigration, water, high-speed rail, and wildfires, though Trump provided emergency assistance to the state when needed. Click here to read more.

The FEMA supervisor who ordered relief workers to bypass the homes of Donald Trump’s supporters while administering hurricane aid in Florida has been fired following the Daily Wire report.

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell announced Saturday that supervisor Marn’i Washington had been fired after she ordered federal employees under her supervision to“avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, according to messages shared with The Daily Wire by whistleblowers. These instructions were given both verbally and in writing, multiple government employees revealed.

“More than 22,000 FEMA employees every day adhere to FEMA’s core values and are dedicated to helping people before, during and after disasters, often sacrificing time with their own families to help disaster survivors. Recently, one FEMA employee departed from these values to advise her survivor assistance team to not go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Trump,” Criswell said in a statement. “This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation. This was reprehensible.” Click here to read more.

 

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO/Gray News) - Two women now jailed in Colorado are accused of stealing ballots, altering them and then fraudulently submitting them for counting.

Fifty-nine-year-old Sally Jane Smith and a 64-year-old mail carrier, Vicki Lyn Stuart, are both charged with identity theft, attempting to influence a public servant and forgery for their involvement in an alleged scheme to “‘test’ the voting signature system for ballots utilized at elections,” according to the arrest affidavit.

Their goal, according to the affidavit, was to see if the forged signatures would be caught by the verification process.

Documents state that voters are still being tracked down and confirmed, but there may be 20 or more victims of the alleged scheme.

The two suspects were tracked down due to the fact that several of the ballots that were allegedly forged fell along the same mail delivery route; it was a route that was confirmed to be temporarily assigned to Stuart, the mail carrier.

Documents also stated that Stuart was interviewed by District Attorney Senior Investigator Rob Heil. He said Stuart was the person who allegedly delivered the ballots on that route.

Investigators also found that Stuart‘s GPS location showed her at the known victims’ houses on Oct. 12, the day when the affected ballots were supposed to be delivered.

Smith’s fingerprints were also allegedly found on a ballot by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation; it was a ballot she would not normally have access to as investigators found she was never an employee of the United States Postal Service or Mesa County Elections Department.

Arrest documents state that, eventually, law enforcement contacted Smith at her home. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - Every year on Veterans Day, communities nationwide unite to honor all who served or are still serving in the military. From parades and ceremonies to special events, the day honors veterans' contributions to our country and shows appreciation for their sacrifices. It is also a time to reflect on the challenges veterans can face when returning home or transitioning into civilian life.

While the textbook meaning of Veterans Day provides a general understanding of what it is and why we celebrate, the individual perspectives of veterans capture the day's essence. Each veteran Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) serves has unique experiences that shape what Veterans Day means to them.

Veterans Day was initially known as Armistice Day and celebrated the end of World War I. The armistice, or call for peace, by the Germans was signed on Nov. 11, 1918, at the “eleventh hour” and ended the fighting between Allied forces and Germany. President Woodrow Wilson established Armistice Day one year later to honor those who served in WWI and celebrate the peace that followed.

After World War II and the Korean War, veterans service organizations urged the U.S. Congress to amend the holiday to be more inclusive of all veterans. Thus, Veterans Day was officially born in 1954 to honor American veterans, past and present. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was responsible for formally changing the name.

WASHINGTON D.C. - In the final days of President-elect Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, he honed in on a culture war issue that may have locked in more swing votes and with it the election, a conservative activist instrumental in the ad campaign argues.

"Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you," the narrator of Trump's advertisement said.

The ad, which focused on men in women's sports and Vice President Kamala Harris' track record of ushering in sex change procedures for incarcerated people in California, was in part due to the influence of American Principles Project's president, Terry Schilling, who began pushing out these ads in 2019.

NASHVILLE, TN - Nashville’s Democrat mayor released the names of multiple federal law enforcement agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), drawing ire from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who say that the mayor is putting law enforcement at risk.

Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s office released information on interactions between ICE agents and Nashville emergency service personnel, dropping data that included the names of federal law enforcement personnel. O’Connell says their names were released by mistake, but the Department of Homeland Security isn’t convinced.

“They claimed it was a mistake. There’s zero chance it was a mistake and there will be repercussions,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin charged in response to the incident. “Our ICE enforcement officers are already facing a 400% increase in assaults against them and he’s essentially handing over intelligence to these criminal gangs so they can target our ICE enforcement officers. It’s wrong. It’s beneath the city of Nashville.” Click here to read more.

 

Michigan’s economy is experiencing the consequences of the state’s two years of Democratic policymaking.

Michigan’s Democratic lawmakers passed a lot of bad laws in 2023. They now force workers to pay unions. They voted to stop using the state’s already paid-for power plants and move to unreliable wind and solar. They increased the costs of government construction for no other reason than to hand construction unions a favor. And they gave out billions in pork projects.

It’s no way to run a state or serve its people. It’s no way to put the state ahead, either. Michigan’s economy has fallen behind since the new laws went into effect last February.

Michigan’s unemployment rate is veering in the wrong direction, rising from 4.0% to 5.5%, the third worst in the nation, behind only Nevada and Washington D.C. While most of the country is scrambling to fill jobs, in Michigan, it’s getting harder to find one. Click here to read more.

 

LOS ANGELES, CALIF - California has declared war on its middle class, and the special interests controlling the state are doing everything they can to impose this punitive economic model on the rest of America. It’s a quasi-feudal system, with the entire population divided into aristocrats and serfs. The means to destroy the middle class is to engineer an unaffordable cost of living for households, and a regulatory environment that only huge corporations can afford to navigate. The moral justification for this destruction is to cope with the “climate emergency” and to achieve social “equity.”

While the Trump interregnum has slowed the march of neo-feudalism in the rest of America, in California, the plan continues to move relentlessly forward. If you’re extremely wealthy, California’s abusive cost of living is not a big concern, and you stay for the scenic beauty and abundant sunshine. If you’re extremely poor, you stay because California’s taxpayer-funded assistance programs—financial aid, food assistance, healthcare, and other support services—offer a lifestyle orders of magnitude better than what you may have previously endured in the barrios of Tegucigalpa or the suburbios of Maputo.

But if you’re not rich, and you’re not poor, but just work, pay taxes, and pay for everything you need with after-tax earnings and without government assistance, California is a hostile environment. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - The Department of Labor on Thursday announced it has paused its Job Corps operations, cautioning that the program has issues with student safety and fiscal sustainability.

“Job Corps was created to help young adults build a pathway to a better life through education, training, and community,” Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said in a written statement. “However, a startling number of serious incident reports and our in-depth fiscal analysis reveal the program is no longer achieving the intended outcomes that students deserve.”

The Department of Labor just released its first-of-its-kind Job Corps Transparency Report, using data from program year 2023, which found concerning results.

The Job Corps program is a federally funded residential career training and education program that is often popular with unions and centered around low-income young adults.

The report found that the average graduation rate for the program is only 32 percent. After graduating from the program, participants only earned $16,000 annually, which is barely above the poverty line. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON — San Francisco education officials have swiftly abandoned a controversial "equity grading" system for K-12 schools just a day after its introduction, following intense bipartisan backlash.

The proposed system allowed students to retake tests, skip homework without penalty, and earn an "A" with an 80% score. A 41% would receive a "C."

"This policy proves California stays at the top of the idiot index. This is such a stupid idea," criticized businessman Kevin O'Leary.

"You want to teach kids good habits so when they become an adult, they can be successful in the adult world, and what equitable grading does is it rewards or incentivizes unsuccessful behaviors," explained Rhyen Staley, a researcher with Parents Defending Education.

San Francisco's Democratic Mayor Daniel Lurie expressed his own concerns on social media, writing, "We owe our young people an education that prepares them to succeed. The proposed changes to grading at SFUSD would not accomplish that." Click here to read more.

SEATTLE, WASH - As of the latest official count, there are a grand total of 195 nations on the planet. And if you consult a history book, they’ll tell you that we’ve had 195 nations for more than a decade, ever since the sovereignty of “South Sudan” was recognized in East Africa during the Obama administration. Who could forget that moment. Ask any person off the street, and they’ll tell you, with a sparkle in their eye, exactly where they were on that momentous day when South Sudan became a country.

Unfortunately, all the rubes who buy into this narrative are being lied to. In reality, South Sudan is not the newest nation that’s been formed. That’s because, for a brief shining moment, back in the summer of 2020, a brand-new country was born, of all places, right here in the United States. The “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” or CHAZ, became the 196th nation, seemingly out of nowhere. The local homeless population teamed up with the Antifa and trans activists. They cordoned off a six-block radius in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, seized control of the East Precinct police station, named a warlord-slash-rapper named “Raz” as their King, and declared their independence. “You are now leaving the USA,” read a sign at the entrance to CHAZ.

LANSING, Mich - A representative of a deceased three-year-old Detroit resident, Chayce Allen, has sued the state in federal court after employees of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services failed to stop a death allegedly caused by years of abuse.

Chayce Allen, 3, was one of 9,200 children in Michigan’s foster care system.

On June 24, 2022, Chayce’s decaying corpse was found in a broken freezer in the basement of his birth mother’s home. Officials from child protective services had visited that home several times before the child’s death, according to a lawsuit filed on March 31 by Juwan Allen, who seeks a jury trial.

Over three years of life, Chayce Allen’s alleged injuries included bruised ribs, nonaccidental blunt force trauma that caused permanent blindness, black eyes, third-degree burns, and regular vomiting from blows to the chest, the lawsuit says. Click here to read more.

 

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis signed two bills into law designed to strengthen protections for animals, particularly dogs, by increasing penalties for aggravated cruelty and prohibiting the abandonment of restrained pets during natural disasters.

‘Trooper’s Law’ – Dog abandonment

  • What it does: SB 150, brought by Sen. Don Gaetz and Rep. Phillip Griffitts in the House, creates a new offense of animal abandonment for abandoning a restrained dog outside during a natural disaster and makes it a third degree felony. The crime is punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a fine of not more than $10,000.

  • Why: Last October, Tampa Florida Highway Patrol troopers rescued a dog left tied to a pole on I-75 as Hurricane Milton was expected to make landfall. “Trooper” has since been adopted.

WASHINGTON D.C. - There is no evidence that former President Joe Biden knew of at least eight climate-related executive actions he supposedly signed during office, according to a pro-American energy watchdog group.

Power the Future, a nonprofit organization founded by energy expert Daniel Turner, released a report this week revealing “troubling” implications about several significant actions from the previous administration, especially given the recent reports that most of the official documents Biden signed during his time were via autopen signature.

Back in March, the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project released a review of “every document we could find with Biden’s signature over the course of his presidency,” along with the disturbing conclusion that all of them had the same autopen signature except for the one announcing that he was ending his campaign for reelection:

“Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency,” the Oversight Project wrote in their announcement. Click here to read more.

 

President Donald Trump is often in the headlines for the millions of dollars taxpayers spend to fund his golf trips, but he’s far from the only one enjoying the expensive hobby.

The Department of Defense owns scores of golf courses all over the world and recently spent $200 million to renovate five of them, according to reporting from The Intercept. Two courses in Germany and one each in Korea, Japan, and Massachusetts will receive upgrades.

Key facts: The Intercept was able to identify 144 military-owned golf courses. Ten are owned by the Marines, 29 by the Navy, 51 by the Air Force, and 54 by the Army. At least 24 are in foreign countries, and two are in Guam.

That may be an underestimate. The golf courses have been in watchdogs’ crosshairs for decades, with Sen. William Proxmire (D-WI) calling out the Pentagon in 1975 for spending $14 million per year maintaining 300 golf courses. The number of courses has seemingly fallen since, but the Pentagon has also removed some from its lists or listed separate courses as one facility.

Maintenance costs vary. One Army golf course in Virginia costs around $1 million per year to operate and spent $406,000 replacing golf carts in 2021. MIC.com reported in 2012 that a “very conservative estimate” of annual costs for all the golf courses is $140 million. Click here to read more.

Federal Health Agency Says Puberty Blockers, Hormones Pose Risks to Children
U.S. Health Department Warns Against Gender Transition Treatments for Minors

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued a letter advising health care providers, risk managers, and state medical boards to immediately update treatment protocols for minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The agency cited findings from a comprehensive review that questioned the safety and effectiveness of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries used on children and adolescents.

The letter, signed by Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., references the HHS’s “Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices,” published May 1. According to the review, these interventions are based on “weak evidence” and carry “significant risks,” including infertility, impaired bone density, cardiovascular disease, and adverse mental health outcomes.

“Health care providers are reminded that when medical interventions pose unnecessary, disproportionate risks of harm, they should refuse to offer them, even when requested or demanded by patients,” the letter states.

Click here to read the entire report by HHS.

The review criticizes international guidelines such as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s Standards of Care Version 8 (SOC-8), calling them ideologically driven and lacking scientific rigor. It also notes that no international body conducting systematic reviews endorsed WPATH or Endocrine Society guidelines due to their “lack [of] developmental rigour and transparency.”

HHS emphasized its legal obligation to protect children from harm and pointed to growing international concerns, including recent restrictions in the U.K., Sweden, and Finland on medicalized gender treatments for youth. The agency instead recommends prioritizing psychotherapy and other non-invasive approaches.

Additionally, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reminded providers of their duty to adhere to the highest standards of care and whistleblower protections for those reporting abuses in HHS-funded programs were reinforced earlier this year.

Kennedy urged providers to review the findings and revise their clinical practices accordingly. “Our nation’s children must be protected from harmful interventions,” he wrote.
