When Dana Williamson, Newsom’s chief of staff, came under FBI investigation, the governor did not disclose the investigation. Instead, Gov. Gavin Newsom put her on leave and praised “her insight, tenacity, and big heart.” Why did Newsom cover up the investigation? Because it was really an investigation of him. Williamson’s lawyer said that the FBI had been conducting a probe into Newsom and someone close to the former chief-of-staff claimed that “federal investigators tried to pressure Williamson into implicating Newsom.” They didn’t describe what it is Newsom might have been doing. While his chief of staff was being arrested as part of a raid, Newsom had disappeared into the Brazilian rainforest after attending the UN’s COP30 conference in Brazil and to see the ‘effects of climate change’ in person while his spokesperson issued a statement claiming that Williamson “no longer serves in this administration” even though the alleged crimes were committed while she did, and implying that ...

Even as many Republicans were preparing to paint Democrats as the ‘Party of Mamdani’, President Trump’s staffers invited Zohran Mamdani for a high-profile chat with Trump. Vice President J.D. Vance, who had previously mocked Mamdani, now calls him “fascinating”. “Obviously, I’m not a communist, and I think he is,” Vance argued, “but the fact that he focuses so aggressively on the affordability question in New York City, which does have one of the worst affordability crises anywhere in the world, is smart, and he’s at least listening to people.” “Most politicians, it’s a very low bar, but they don’t even listen to people. I would put Mamdani, Bernie and Ro Khanna in the category of those who, at least sometimes, they are.” “I’ve always been fascinated by Bernie,” Vance also claimed, saying that if he repeated what the Vermont socialist had told him, “it would probably really hurt me on both the left and the right.” Naive comments like these show how institutional knowledge of Communism...

The most extraordinary thing about the confrontation that wrongly sent Ian Cranston, an unassuming young man in glasses, to prison for a decade, is that there was very little argument over the facts because they’re amply documented and were caught on video. The prosecution admitted that Cranston was assaulted by Barry Washington Jr: a violent criminal who had been harassing his fiancée. The assault by Washington was severe enough that Cranston looks battered in his booking photo, suffered a brain injury, and had to be taken to the hospital for evaluation. Before Ian Cranston shot Washington in self-defense, the drunken violent criminal had not only attacked him, but also his fiancée, and had punched another of Cranston’s friends in the nose. The only reason a case that normally should never have even come to trial not only did, but led to an innocent man being locked up for ten years was due to the deadliest three letter acronym. BLM. The shooting happened in Oregon in 2021. And BLM r...

Sexual assaults are up 5% in Minnesota. Statistics from the Hennepin County prosecutor’s office, which includes Minneapolis and its Somali population, shows that the number of sexual assault cases is up 62% from 2018. Cedar-Riverside, the neighborhood commonly known as ‘Little Mogadishu’ for its Somali population, has some of the worst crime rates in Minneapolis. To what extent does the state’s Somali settler population contribute to its sexual assault crisis? While there are no firm numbers, I tracked some of the offenders with the most common Muslim name Mohamed (after the prophet of Islam, whom the Koran described as a serial sex offender, assaulting captured women and in the process legalizing the sexual assault of non-Muslim women under Sharia Islamic law) and what I found was not only a pattern of offenses, but of complicity by local authorities who have allowed Somali Muslim sex predators to reoffend. Take the recent case of Abdimahat Bille Mohamed, a Somali Muslim, who was arre...

Last month, Communist China launched its largest ever crackdown on Christians. The raids across Beijing, Shanghai and eight other cities mark the beginning of an escalation as the paranoid Xi regime sets out to suppress the growing number of Chinese Christians. While the Communist regime claims that the official number of Christians in China is under 50 million people, the actual estimated number of Christians now tops 100 million. Most Chinese Christians are staying away from the official government churches and going underground. The raids and the arrests of pastors and worshipers at ‘underground churches’ that are not officially registered with and do not submit to the regime’s Communist churches is the latest move by the Chinese Communist dictatorship to slow down and control the runaway growth in Christianity which has shot up from 1 million to over 100 million since the Cold War. If this rate of growth continues, Chinese Christians could number 300 million by 2050. The internet, ...

Billboards are popping up outside Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune urging soldiers to disobey orders. “Marines: Not what you signed up for?” asks one. “Did You Go Airborne Just To Pull Security for ICE?” asks another one. The website urges soldiers to use encryption and offers ‘counselling’ on ‘disobeying immoral orders’. The organizations offering ‘counselling’ to soldiers include the National Lawyers Guild: a Communist organization which also defends Antifa. The billboards are promoting a system that, in its own words, is “built to connect active duty, national guard, and reserve members of the military with key resources on responding to unlawful orders”. What that means is members of the military will be potentially discussing their orders with members of radical leftist groups sympathetic to America’s enemies. This is not only sedition; it’s a national security threat. ‘Win Without War’, the group behind the ads, had been created as a front group full of young photogenic diverse figur...

The race is on. Not just the race for California governor, but the race to be the first (or perhaps last) gubernatorial candidate to be raided by the FBI, arrested and sent to jail. California is the most corrupt state in the country. 576 California officials were convicted of federal crimes in just the last decade. Its future governor could be the 577th criminal. The current front runner is Attorney General Rob Bonta, Gov. Newsom’s handpicked successor, whose political prospects hit a slight bump in the road when he was forced to disclose spending $468,000 in campaign funds on lawyers due to, what he claims is, being a witness in a federal bribery investigation. That’s a lot of money for a mere “witness” to a bribery investigation (and how exactly does a state attorney general become a ‘witness’ to a bribery investigation without making any arrests), but Bonta explained that “the attorneys that I have had been working around the clock, to be responsive, to be efficient, to be compre...
