DOJ Voter Fraud Crackdown

Honduran national charged with voter fraud in first arrest of Trump DOJ crackdown in California

Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles announced the first arrest in a promised election fraud crackdown, charging a Honduran green card holder with two felonies for fraudulently registering to vote and falsely claiming U.S. citizenship.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, the top federal prosecutor in California's Central District, announced the charges against Darwin Jonathan Rivera Flores on Friday. Rivera Flores, a resident of the Winnetka area of Los Angeles west of Van Nuys, faces two felony counts: fraudulent voter registration and false claim of U.S. citizenship. The Department of Justice said he entered the country during the George W. Bush administration as a green card holder, but was never a U.S. citizen.

Essayli made clear the case is not an isolated prosecution. He framed it as the opening move in a broader federal effort to root out illegal voter registrations in a state he says makes it far too easy for noncitizens to end up on the rolls.
"Today's arrest is the first of many to come. Unfortunately, because states like California allow non-citizens to easily register to vote and receive a ballot by mail, there's no telling how many non-citizens are currently registered to vote."
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon warned that the Justice Department would continue to enforce federal election laws barring noncitizen participation. Dhillon said noncitizens who "commit fraud so they can vote in American elections" violate federal law and should expect prosecution.

"Let this criminal complaint serve as a reminder that the Justice Department stands ready to enforce the laws Congress enacted to ensure only American citizens vote in federal elections."

California school sends kids on trip for Mosque indoctrination

School district sued for sending students on 'field trip' to mosque indoctrination

Accused of violating the law by promoting single religion

With one report calling the situation "another good argument for homeschooling," there is word that parents in the school district in Palo Alto, California, are suing officials because they rounded up children for a "field trip" and then sent them into a Muslim mosque indoctrination session.

According to the Gateway Pundit, the lawsuit is against the Palo Alto Unified School District and Brent Kline, principal of Palo Alto High School.

The charge is that the school's "Social Justice Pathway" turned a class field trip to a Santa Clara mosque into "taxpayer-funded religious indoctrination."

"[T]he District failed to maintain religious neutrality, failed to ensure equal treatment among faiths, failed to protect student privacy, and failed to vet, supervise, and monitor religiously divisive outside speakers during the school-sponsored event," the case allegations include.

Digital Brands moves from California to Texas

Digital Brands Group Moves to Texas After CEO Says, “Doing business in the state of California sucks.”

Digital Brands Group is leaving California and moving its headquarters to Round Rock, Texas. CEO Hil Davis offered a blunt explanation for the decision.
Davis told Fox News Digital, “Doing business in the state of California sucks.”
The Round Rock Chamber announced the relocation in a press release, describing it as a major economic development win for the city.

“Founded in California and known for its innovative approach to blending apparel brands with e-commerce technology and data-driven consumer solutions, Digital Brands Group’s relocation marks a significant win for economic development in Round Rock.”

The chamber also pointed to Texas’ business climate and workforce as reasons companies are choosing the state.

So I ask, why not Florida? Actually, businesses are moving to Florida from California alongside Texas. Both states share major pro-business benefits like no state personal income tax, but Texas has captured more massive corporate headquarters (like Tesla, HP, and Chevron) due to distinct industrial and geographical advantages.

South Florida (Miami, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach) has seen an enormous influx of hedge funds, venture capitalists, and tech executives who prefer Florida's lifestyle and financial sector ecosystem over Texas's industrial footprint.

California Wealth Tax

California Democrats buck Newsom and Becerra with vote to endorse billionaire wealth tax

California's Democratic Party resolutions committee voted to recommend endorsing a one-time 5% tax on the state's roughly 200 billionaires, defying both outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom and gubernatorial nominee Xavier Becerra, who oppose the measure.

The committee's Saturday vote puts Proposition 40, formally titled the California 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, one step closer to an official party endorsement ahead of the November 3 ballot.

But the recommendation is not final. Full endorsement requires at least 60% of delegates to approve it during Sunday's general session, where delegates could also vote to take no position, a move that needs only a simple majority, or pull the recommendation for a separate floor debate.

Either way, the committee's action exposes a sharp rift inside California's ruling party over how far Sacramento should go in taxing its wealthiest residents, and whether doing so would protect state programs or simply chase money across state lines.

From front-runner to 4%

Katie Porter abandons politics after catastrophic gubernatorial loss

She pivots to Instagram book reviews

Former California Democratic Rep. Katie Porter announced she is walking away from politics, at least for now, after a gubernatorial primary collapse that saw her plummet from front-runner to a fifth-place finish with barely 4% of the vote.

Her new venture: recommending books on Instagram.

Porter posted a video to her Instagram account Thursday declaring she is "done for now with politics and campaigning" and rebranding her page as "Katie Porter turns the page," a space for book recommendations and author content.

The Washington Examiner reported on the announcement, which caps a remarkably swift fall for a politician who once polled at 21% in the California Democratic gubernatorial primary.

The rebrand is less a graceful exit than an acknowledgment of political reality. Porter's campaign cratered after a leaked video and a string of staff controversies turned her progressive brand toxic, even among Democratic primary voters in deep-blue California.

Summer fun in Newport Beach

Newport Beach July 4 Chaos: Grocery Store Destroyed, Bars and Beaches Closed

Newport Beach, California, saw a rough end to the Fourth of July weekend after a crowd on the peninsula reportedly turned a holiday night into a scene of disorder.

According to the report, non-residents visiting the area were involved in brawls, looting, and damage to a local grocery store. What should have been a night of fireworks, beach crowds, and summer fun instead became a mess for residents, business owners, and local workers stuck dealing with the fallout.

The Newport Beach peninsula is a popular spot on July 4. That is no surprise. People pack the beaches, bars, restaurants, and boardwalk areas every year. But when crowds get out of control, it can shift fast from busy to dangerous. That appears to be what happened Saturday night, based on the description of the scene.

The report said a grocery store was destroyed during the unrest. Bars and beaches were also closed as officials and businesses tried to get the situation under control. For local business owners, that kind of chaos is not just a headache.

It means damage, lost revenue, cleanup costs, and staff being put in a bad spot on one of the busiest weekends of the year.

DEI in California now will include two Muslim Holidays

California bill to make Muslim holidays official state days raises hard questions about school neutrality

California's State Assembly voted 64-1 to pass AB 2017, a bill that would establish two Muslim holy days, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, as official state holidays and authorize public schools to close for both.

The bill advanced to the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday, carrying a provision that has drawn sharp criticism from religious liberty advocates: it would direct the State Board of Education to develop a model curriculum for classroom exercises "acknowledging and celebrating" the holidays.

The measure, authored by Assemblyman Matt Haney, a San Francisco Democrat, sailed through the Assembly with virtually no opposition. But the bill's language goes beyond calendar recognition. It opens the door for state-guided classroom activities tied to specific religious observances, a step that critics say collides with California's own longstanding neutrality rules.

AB 2017 would add Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to California's official state holiday calendar, designating a single day of observance for each. Both holidays traditionally span three to four days, and both shift annually on the Islamic lunar calendar. The bill authorizes, but does not require, local public school boards and community colleges to shut down campuses for both days.

If neutrality means anything, it means the state does not pick winners among faiths. California chose that principle when it scrubbed Christmas and Easter from school calendars. The state cannot now build celebration curriculum for Eid and call it equity. It is preference, dressed in the language of inclusion.

Neutrality is only a principle if it applies to everyone. The moment it becomes selective, it is just politics.

Fareed Zakaria Calls California a ‘Failing Model of Governance’

Integrity in Federal Elections - Ballot dump in California

Trump's Brilliant Idea: USPS Moves To Limit Mail-In Ballots - In Time For Midterms?

USPS acting on two recent executive orders: March 25th and March 31st by President Trump, “Preserving And Protecting The Integrity Of American Elections” and “Ensuring Citizenship Verification And Integrity In Federal Elections” that aim to limit mail-in voting which is a vehicle for systemic fraud.

The US Postal Service proposed a new rule that would effectively create a national voter list and prevent states from mailing ballots to anyone who is not on that list.

The proposed rule, which was formally published on June 2nd, comes just one day after a federal judge decided that it was too early to weigh in on Trump’s executive orders because much had not yet been implemented.

Interesting timing, given the obvious fraud in the Los Angeles election for mayor wherein a ballot dump several days after the election resulted in 100% of the new ballots going to Communist Karen Bass whose policies burnt down 8000 homes and burned 12 people to death, or the Muslim immigrant Nithya Raman who is Left of Bass. [Is it possible to be Left of a person who was trained in guerilla warfare in Cuba?]

Raman,as a council member, authored the Sanctuary City Ordinance, which ensures city resources are never used for federal immigration enforcement.

Spencer Pratt, the outsider who lost his own home and had two life-long friends burn to death, got ZERO votes from this dump of fraudulent ballots. BTW, ballot dumps in Democrat-run states never increase the votes for Republican or Independent candidates.

On election night, returns placed Pratt in second place behind Karen Bass, with Raman trailing a very distant third. However, as LA County processed waves of mail-in ballots over the course of the week following election day, Raman overcame the deficit to surpass Pratt by roughly 22,000 votes, shifting the second-place spot, and kicking Pratt out of November’s general election.

California Democrats have perfected their election fraud system.

Mail-In Ballot Fraud

  • Nick Shirley Found a 126 Year Old Woman on California Voter Rolls and Knocked on Her Door

California has been mailing ballots to a woman who would be 126 years old.

A reporter named Nick Shirley tracked down her registered address – and a real person answered the door.

Nobody by that name lives there, the man said.

California Ghost Voters Got Mail-In Ballots While Sacramento Did Nothing--That woman's ballot was already in the mail. California's universal mail-in ballot system – the one Democrats built and protected – would have sent it automatically.
  • Nobody would have flagged it.
  • Nobody would have stopped it.
  • It would have arrived at a stranger's door with a name attached that has no living human being behind it.
  • That is not a glitch.
That is the system working exactly as Democrats designed it.

California’s latest taxpayer gift has ugly punchline

California taxpayers unknowingly funding prison tablet porn under Newsom

California under Gavin Newsom has spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on electronic tablets for prisoners, all in the name of rehab, connection, and digital equity.

That sounds nice on paper, the kind of language that makes bureaucrats nod like they just solved civilization. But the real-world result, according to reports, is a mess that has taxpayers shaking their heads again.

Instead of a clean success story, the state appears to have handed out high-tech toys to convicted criminals while ordinary Californians keep paying more and getting less.

Reports say inmates found the obvious use fast...PORN.

Fox 11 in Los Angeles reported that some death row inmates have used the tablets to watch pornography and carry on lewd conversations. One inmate, Robert Maury, a serial rapist and murderer, allegedly said he used his taxpayer-funded tablet to view porn and send nude images.

Others reportedly used video chat tools to get someone on the outside to play porn on a television for them. If you were hoping the system would be used for algebra homework and polite book clubs, well, that dream lasted about five minutes.

Criminals with free electronics apparently did what criminals do when given a loophole and a screen.

Golden State Start - 400 free diapers for new babies born in California

Newsom’s newest freebie comes with a big bill

Gov. Gavin Newsom is rolling out another taxpayer-funded program and calling it a win for families. His new plan, “Golden State Start,” promises 400 free diapers to every baby born in California through participating hospitals, starting this summer.

The state will work with the nonprofit Baby2Baby to hand out the diapers when parents leave the hospital. Newsom says every baby deserves a healthy start, which is a nice line, even if California taxpayers keep getting the invoice. The program will begin at about 65 to 75 hospitals, mostly ones that serve low-income families on Medi-Cal, before expanding statewide.

The state says families need help, but the math still matters.

This is the latest in Newsom’s growing list of family-focused spending plans, which already includes free school meals and universal preschool for 4-year-olds. Supporters will say diapers are expensive, and that is true. Many families do struggle with the cost of infant supplies. But California is also running into a hard fiscal wall, and that matters too.

The Associated Press reported that the state set aside $7.4 million in last year’s budget for the diaper rollout and wants another $12.5 million to carry it through June 2027. That may sound small in Sacramento terms, where “small” often means the size of a bridge loan, but every new program adds to the pile.

Read about this freebie for new borns  And illegals have lots of children and diapers are just another expense that will be paid by the taxpayer of California. People continue to have children who can't afford them. But the state picks up part of the tab with Medicaid, so what the hell.

According to Baby2Baby, diapers cost $80 to $100 per month per baby, and the average low-income family pays nearly $1000 a year for diapers.

Judges' Opinion Left Newsom Nowhere to Hide

Ninth Circuit Judges Just Served Gavin Newsom’s ICE Unmasking Law One Deadly Blow

Gavin Newsom watched ICE agents get death threats and decided they should have to show their faces anyway.

This week, the court he counted on to back him up read him the Constitution instead.

The 9th Circuit just said one word to Gavin Newsom's ICE unmasking law.

The word is "void."

On Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals handed Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta one of the most lopsided losses of their careers.

The panel – including two Trump appointees and one Obama appointee – ruled 3-0 that Newsom's No Vigilantes Act violated the U.S. Constitution.

The Obama appointee agreed.

Court rejects California's banning federal agents wearing masks

A federal court struck down California’s requirement that masked federal agents identify themselves

This is a blow to the state’s ongoing resistance to the Trump administration’s deportation program

A 9th U.S. Circuit Court panel handed down a ruling prohibiting California from enforcing a section of the 2025 law that mandates federal law enforcement officers visibly display identification while carrying out their duties.

The law was destined to face critical scrutiny from the federal judiciary. An 1890 Supreme Court case provides that a state cannot prosecute federal law enforcement officers acting in the course of their duties.

The law also ran headlong into the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, which holds that states may not regulate the operations of the federal government.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed it in connection with a law that banned federal immigration agents from wearing masks. The Trump administration sued to challenge both of them.

California bill AB 2624 --Stop Nick Shirley Act

Confronting California Democrats on Fraud

'You're a psycho scam artist' says one Democrat

Independent journalist Nick Shirley confronted California lawmakers seeking to criminalize investigative journalism which exposes fraud in a video posted Saturday.

Democratic California State Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, the wife of Democratic California Attorney General Rob Bonta, introduced Assembly Bill 2624 (AB2624) in February. In a 25-minute YouTube video posted Saturday, Shirley interviews multiple lawmakers about the bill, which has moved through the Assembly's Privacy and Consumer Protection and Judiciary committees.

"It was only until I exposed fraud that they actually cracked down on the fraud and made some arrests here, especially with the hospices. And do you know that, if this bill were to pass, it'd make it illegal for someone to go after fraud, especially if it's based off of immigrants — for instance, Armenians in California?" Shirley asked one lawmaker.

Watch Nick Shirley confront California Dems trying to criminalize exposing fraud.



This bill AB 2624 will:
Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown
Let immigrant based NGOs' funding be confidential
Take away freedom of the press from journalists
Protect any "immigration support services" information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc)

Tom Steyer's insane platform for California Governor

Tom Steyer's California governor bid centers on prosecuting ICE agents and flying deported immigrants back to the state

Tom Steyer, the billionaire and founder of Farallon Capital Management, rolled out a five-point immigration plan this week that reads less like a policy platform and more like a declaration of war against federal law enforcement.

The California gubernatorial candidate pledged to abolish ICE operations in the state, criminally prosecute federal immigration agents, and use state funds to retrieve deported individuals from foreign countries and fly them back into California.

Steyer released his immigration pledges on Tuesday, framing the plan as a frontal challenge to federal immigration enforcement. In his own words, the candidate compared ICE to organized crime and cast himself as the lawman who would bring them down.

The plan amounts to an open promise by a major-party gubernatorial candidate to obstruct federal immigration law, arrest the agents who enforce it, and spend taxpayer money to undo lawful deportations. For California voters already living with the consequences of the state's sanctuary policies, this is what the next step looks like.

Trump slams Fox News

'SLEAZEBAG': Trump hammers Fox News for giving airtime to major political candidate

As the race for California governor heats up with the high-profile departure of former Congressman Eric Swalwell, President Donald Trump on Wednesday slammed the Fox News Channel for giving on-air coverage to billionaire Tom Steyer, one of several Democrats vying to replace Gavin Newsom for the Golden State's top job.

"Why is FoxNews showing SLEAZEBAG Tom Steyer, doing a big piece on him right now, and probably putting him 'into play,' instead of talking about Republican Candidates, and really good ones like Steve Hilton, and Republicans?" Trump asked on Truth Social.

"How can a Republican expect to win that State, with their Mail In Voting and Rigged Elections, when you have FoxNews promoting the Democrats?>br />
"Nobody cares about Tom Steyer, he is a LOSER, but Fox is making it possible for a guy like this to win.

VOTE FOR STEVE HILTON, AND TURN CALIFORNIA AROUND!"
