Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials are blaming Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and his continued support for sanctuary policies after an illegal alien trucker, who was given a driver’s license in California, was charged with making an illegal U-turn that killed three Americans this month,

As Breitbart News reported, Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien from India, was driving a semi truck in St. Lucie County, Florida, when he made an illegal U-turn that ultimately left three Americans dead.

Singh has since been arrested and charged with three counts of vehicular homicide.

Video footage posted online of the fatal crash shows Singh making the U-turn and having no reaction once the vehicle with the three passengers hits the semi truck.

In the sanctuary state of California, Singh was able to obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) despite being an illegal alien thanks to a law passed in 2013 and expanded by Newsom in 2022.

By 2023, as Breitbart News detailed, California officials had issued driver’s licenses to more than a million illegal aliens since 2015.

DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin blamed Newsom for supporting the state’s sanctuary policies that ultimately led to Singh getting a driver’s license and allegedly killing three Americans in Florida.

“Three innocent people were killed in Florida because Gavin Newsom’s California Department of Motor Vehicles issued an illegal alien a Commercial Driver’s License — this state of governance is asinine,” McLaughlin said:

How many more innocent people must die before Gavin Newsom stops playing games with the safety of the American public? We pray for the victims and their families. Secretary Noem and DHS are working around the clock to protect the public and get these criminal illegal aliens out of America.
[Emphasis added]

Newsom’s office claimed that the Trump administration in 2018 is responsible for Singh securing a commercial driver’s license in California, but McLaughlin shot back to correct the record.

“Harjinder Singh is in the United States illegally and his work authorization was rejected under the Trump Administration on September 14, 2020,” McLaughlin wrote on X. “It was later approved under the Biden Administration June 9, 2021. The state of California issues Commercial Driver’s Licenses. There is no national [commercial driver’s license].”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have issued a detainer on Singh to ensure he remains in custody pending the vehicular homicide charges against him.

French President Emmanuel Macron finally broke his silence about his defamation lawsuit against controversial media personality Candace Owens, who has repeatedly claimed that the First Lady of France, Brigitte Macron, is a man.

Speaking to French outlet Paris Match, Macron explained why he and his wife decided to take legal action against Owens following her numerous claims that Brigitte is actually a man named “Jean-Michel Trogneux.”

“This has become such a big issue in the United States that we had to respond,” Macron told the outlet in a piece published Tuesday, according to Politico. “It’s a question of having the truth respected.”

“[Owens] is someone who knew very well that she was spreading false information and did so with the aim of causing harm, in the service of an ideology and with established connections to far-right leaders,” he added, per the outlet.

Macron admitted that when Owens’ accusations first surfaced in France, they opted to ignore them so as not to have the opposite effect of drawing more attention to the claims by shutting them down. But he said that after the podcaster’s accusations spread in the United States, they had no other choice.

As my RedState colleague Streiff reported in July, Macron filed a defamation suit against the podcaster.

He wrote:

According to a 200-page complaint filed in a Delaware court, the Macrons object to Owens’s claim that Brigitte Macron “was born a man, stole another person’s identity, and transitioned to become Brigitte.” 

The report also noted that this wasn’t the first time the Macrons had to deal with the claims.

In 2021, the Macrons successfully sued two of France’s leading intellectuals, Amandine Roy, a 52-year-old clairvoyant, and Natacha Rey, 48, who styled herself as a freelance journalist, for making the claim that Brigitte Macron = (more or less) Jean-Michel Trogneux. Despite their victory in court, the Macrons have not been able to silence those seeking to speak truth, or something, to power. 

A spokesperson for Owens reacted to the suit by claiming it was a violation of her First Amendment rights. The person claimed it was a “foreign government attacking the First Amendment rights of an American independent journalist.”

But in the Paris Match interview, the French President objected to the claim and said that freedom of speech does not protect Owens from spreading false, harmful “nonsense.”

He added, “Those talking about so-called freedom of speech are the same ones banning reporters from the Oval Office.”

The last jab was clearly a reference to the White House’s decision earlier this year to block the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One due to how it was covering President Donald Trump’s Gulf of America name change.

The AP took President Donald Trump’s administration to court over it, and in June, Trump won a partial victory, as RedState reported. 

A federal appeals court panel on Friday reinstated parts of President Donald Trump’s ban of the Associated Press from several key areas where presidential press events are typically held, including the Oval Office, Air Force One and the President’s home in Mar-A-Lago.

The court left in place part of a lower-court order that required Trump to give AP access to events held in larger spaces, like the East Room.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has proven to be many things since she took on the job—tough, unafraid, and determined to help ensure her boss Donald Trump’s vision. I’m not sure anyone had talked about her talents as a painter, however.

But there she was Tuesday, painting the border wall like a pro. She’s covering it in a very specific color – or non-color, technically—at the request of the president. Trump wants to paint it black:

Why black? Well if you’ve ever worn a black shirt on a scorching day, or sat in a black car in the baking sun, you might know the answer:

Speaking in front of a portion of the southern border wall in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, Noem explained that the wall would be painted entirely black for the dual purposes of making it heat up more and thus harder to climb, as well as increasing the lifespan of the metal.


Noem said the new paintwork comes at the request of President Donald Trump.

Although the wall is already tall, she explained, painting it in this manner will make it even more difficult to pass:

“If you look at the structure that’s behind me, it’s tall, which makes it very, very difficult to climb, almost impossible. It also goes deep into the ground, which would make it very difficult, if not impossible, to dig under. And today we are also going to be painting it black,” said Noem.

Noem continued, saying that the operation was conceived by Trump, who as a contractor knows full well about things like paint:

“That is specifically at the request of the president, who understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black, it gets even warmer, and it will make it even harder for people to climb,” she added.

“So, we are going to be painting the entire southern border wall black to make sure that we encourage individuals to not come into our country illegally, to not break our federal laws, but that they will abide and come to our country the right way so that they can stay and have the opportunity to become United States citizens and pursue the American dream.”

Like almost everything the president does, this one is almost surely going to drive liberals (even more) insane. As my buddy Ward Clark likes to say, “this seems appropriate”:

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left’s lies, new legislation wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.

Newsmax will pay $67 million to settle a defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems after the news organization claimed the 2020 election was rigged.

Dominion Voting Systems had previously settled a defamation suit against Fox News for $787 million prior to settling with Newsmax; both cases stemmed from coverage pertaining to the 2020 election, per NPR (National Public Radio):

In the lawsuit, filed in the months after the 2020 election, Dominion accused the cable news network of spreading false claims that the company’s voting technology had been manipulated to help Joe Biden beat Donald Trump. Like other right-wing news networks, Newsmax featured Trump allies who promoted these conspiracies, including former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell and supporter Mike Lindell of MyPillow.

Newsmax announced the settlement in an Aug. 15 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. According to the document, the network paid $27 million of the settlement on that day; the rest will be paid by January 2027.

In mid-April, Judge Eric M. Davis, who had presided over Dominion’s case against Fox News, ruled that all of the at-issue statements that aired on Newsmax were also false and defamatory. His ruling meant that, should the case have gone to trial, the jury would only have had to decide whether Newsmax acted with “actual malice,” whether Dominion should receive damages, and how much money it should get.

Leading up to the settlement, Dominion Voting Systems claimed that the charges of election rigging caused the company irreparable harm, complete with death threats against employees and lost revenue.

“We are pleased to have settled this matter,” a Dominion spokesperson said Monday morning.

Newsmax did not admit to any wrongdoing in a statement, claiming that its coverage of the 2020 election was “fair, balanced, and conducted within professional standards of journalism.”

“Newsmax believed it was critically important for the American people to hear both sides of the election disputes that arose in 2020,” it said, adding that Judge Davis ruled in a way that “strongly favored the plaintiffs and limited Newsmax’s ability to defend itself.”

The state of Washington is looking pretty dangerous, according to the latest statistics. 

FBI crime data shows that violent crime skyrocketed past the national trend, especially in categories like aggravated assault, by eight percent for 2019 through 2024. What’s worse is that the state’s murder rate surged upward even more by an unforgivable 42.46 percent. 

What makes this even worse is that the national average on murder rates dropped over three percent while violent crime fell over six percent. 

While the nation did see an average increase of just 2.14 percent over those years, Washington’s increase was over 19 percent. 

What’s the deal?

As The Post Millennial reported, Washington State also comes dead last in terms of police presence: 

This comes as Washington State has been ranked last out of all 50 states and Washingon, DC for police staffing per capita for the 15th year in a row, according to a FBI data analyzed by the Washington Association of Sheriffs & Police Chiefs (WASPC).

As reported by Seattle Red, Washington’s lack of police presence is something of a crisis that’s left police in the state up against frightening odds: 

Statewide, agencies added 292 commissioned officers in 2024, lifting the rate from 1.34 to 1.36 officers per 1,000 residents. But that small improvement hasn’t shifted Washington from its longstanding position as the least-staffed state, an embarrassing ranking it has held for at least 15 years thanks to poor Democratic leadership.

Indeed, when you’re a handful of people looking after large populations, there are not enough peacekeepers and law enforcers to catch a great deal of crime. Moreover, those that are present are running from call to call, becoming exhausted, which not only puts officers in danger, but also the people they’re either trying to help or arrest.

According to Axios, the Washington Association of Sheriffs & Police Chiefs (WASPC) says that for Washington to match the national average in terms of policing, it would need to spend somewhere north of $1 billion annually. 

It’s not hard to put two and two together. 

Washington has been a deep blue state that, back in 2020, showed massive support for defunding the police. In 2021, Washington Democrat Governor Jay Inslee signed sweeping police reforms that limited law enforcement officers while calling it a “moral mandate.” The changes tied the hands of law enforcement officials behind their backs and handed responsibilities for some police actions to other departments, such as first responders. 

“It’s going to change the level of service we give to our citizens,” said Moses Lake Police Chief Kevin Fuhr at the time. “Not because we want to, but because we have to.”

Now you can see the outcome of these policies that “reimagine” or defund policing. The “moral mandate” has resulted in some very immoral things happening to innocent people, and at a rate that far surpasses that of other states, where these foolish decisions never occurred. 

Not to wheel out an old cliche, but this is exactly what Washington voted for, and it’s a great example to all the others of how not to police a state. 

President Donald Trump is doing what he can to end the war between Ukraine and Russia. 

On Monday, Trump had Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders to the White House after having met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. Trump is working toward a trilateral meeting including himself, Putin, and Zelensky.  

Italian leader Giorgia Meloni praised Trump for pushing things to this point, after Russia hadn’t moved in three years on the war. “Something is changing — something has changed, thanks to you,” Meloni said.

At the end of the meeting, Trump said to the press that all they asked for was “fairness from the media.” 

There was a moment of humor immediately after that, when the press was throwing out questions and being typically loud. Leaders Meloni and Finland’s President Alexander Stubb were caught on a hot mic expressing admiration for what Trump had to go through with the press and how he handled them. 

“Thank you for being so fair,” Meloni said, while seemingly making a face about the reporters. 

“You go through this every day?” Stubb asked, as though he couldn’t believe it. Stubb has been the president of Finland for about a year and a half. 

Trump nodded and said, “All the time.” 

“But he loves it,” Meloni said. “He loves it! He does it always.” 

She then admitted, “I never want to speak with my press!” 

Trump praised Stubb to Meloni,  “He’s a great golfer, you know.” Trump and Stubb have played golf in the past. 

Giorgia Meloni is hilarious. She has a great sense of humor. You can see that she has a deft way of dealing with other leaders. Stubb probably doesn’t have to go through the incredible crush of press that Trump does, from what it sounds like. So it’s giving the European leaders another level of appreciation for Trump and what he has to go through with our press, which is good. 

Trump sounded positive about the prospects after the meeting. He revealed that they had discussed security guarantees, which he said would be provided by the European countries. Trump said that the next step was for Zelensky to meet with Putin, followed by the trilateral meeting.

CNN is not too happy that Democrats who sought to weaponize the government against President Donald Trump might face accountability.

The alleged news outlet published a report taking Trump to task for supposedly using the FBI and Justice Department against Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

During Trump’s first term, then-Rep. Adam Schiff was on the forefront of the Russiagate hoax as well as the first doomed effort to impeach him. Back in those days, Schiff was a regular on cable news networks, constantly claiming to have decisive evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

He never provided the evidence. Because there was no evidence. As with most politicians, Schiff brazenly lied to the American public and got away with it.

Schiff also played a critical role in the Democratic House Subcommittee on Jan.6, which was nothing more than a politically motivated effort to con the nation into believing that Trump had incited the riot at the US Capitol building.

“Now, with Trump back in the White House and Schiff in the Senate, the president is using the full force of the federal government to try to turn the tables on his longtime nemesis,” CNN politics reporter Jeremy Herb wrote.

Confession: I really want to make a marijuana joke using Jeremy’s last name, but I am resisting the temptation.

Anyway, the article notes that FBI Director Kash Patel released internal documentation showing that Schiff approved illegal leaks of classified information regarding the Russia hoax. He further pointed to the fact that Schiff is now under federal investigation for mortgage fraud.

The attacks on Schiff are the latest example of how Trump and his government have carried out a campaign of retribution against a wide swath of the president’s perceived political enemies, ranging from former Trump officials to members of Congress to the prosecutors who brought cases against Trump while he was out of office.

CNN reported this month that the Justice Department opened a grand jury investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James over the civil actions she brought against Trump and the National Rifle Association. That came after the Trump administration launched an investigation into allegations of mortgage fraud against James, similar to those leveled against Schiff. (James’ attorney said they were “baseless and long-discredited allegations.”) Trump has called for James to be prosecuted for years, too.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department in May, alleging that Schiff misrepresented his primary residence in multiple mortgage applications. Between 2003 and 2019, the lawmaker listed his home in Potomac, Maryland, as his principal residence on refinancing applications — even though he currently holds office in California. The complaint alleges that this enabled him to obtain more favorable loan terms and a $7,000 tax break in the Golden State.

The investigation centers on multiple alleged violations, including wire fraud, bank fraud, mail fraud, and making false statements to financial institutions.

So far, it’s not clear whether Schiff committed mortgage fraud or other crimes. But if there is smoke, investigators must find out if there is fire. If Trump had engaged in any of these actions, CNN would certainly support a Democratic administration looking into it. In fact, the outlet had no unkind words to say about the myriad of politically motivated legal actions against Trump during the 2024 campaign.

Even though it was clear that Democrats were trying to influence the outcome of the election by throwing as many criminal prosecution efforts at him as possible, CNN never so much as questioned them, which is one of a billion reasons why Americans do not trust legacy media.

The bloodshed continues at the far-left Washington Post with the news Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Robin Givhan has accepted a buyout.

The Trump-era schlonging of the regime media shows no signs of slowing down.

“So, recently The Post offered buyouts to anyone who’d been there for 10 years or longer. It was the first time I’d been eligible for such a thing. So, I considered it. (It was a fair amount of $$),” Givhan announced on her verified Instagram account. “I agonized about it. I fretted. I procrastinated until the last possible moment. I considered my needs, my desires, my beliefs. A creature of deadline to the end. And I decided to take it.”

“I love The Post. It’s where I grew up as a journalist. I am a believer in the importance of institutions, of legacy media, of mainstream media,” she continued.

“There’s still a lot to be said, and I’m just self-centered enough to believe I’m someone who needs to be heard. So I’m not done. Democracy definitely dies in darkness, but it is gravely wounded by silence.”

Whatever. Bye.

One wonders how democracy will survive without Givhan’s headlines such as…

• Marc Jacobs’s anti-politics, from faux nails to creative freedom
• President Trump addresses Congress, and nothing about it was normal
• See inside Kamala Harris’s V.P. house as JD Vance prepares to move in
• What does diversity mean in a second Trump administration?
• Thanksgiving is our most woke holiday. That’s why it’s so great.
• Cory Booker’s unflagging joy
• The ground-breaking normalcy of Doug Emhoff
• Kamala Harris’s powerful laughter in the face of weirdness
• Hoping joy cometh in the morning: Auntie Maxine, a hallelujah chorus
• Stormy Daniels’s voluble specificity
• Donald Trump’s specific brand of racism resurfaces as he woos Black voters
• When Fani Willis took the stand, her fury was precise and laser-focused
• Marjorie Taylor Greene’s big mouth and her big white, fur-rimmed coat
• Republican Byron Donalds is Black. That’s basically the talking point.
• Admiring the beauty — and beautiful politics — of the Black family home
• Speaker Pelosi’s style of power

I went back three years and can sum up her work in one word: ZZZZZZzzzzzzz.

I don’t know what she won her Pulitzer for, but I’ll bet it was stupid.

She wrote the safest, most anodyne, and treacly nonsense you can write at the Washington Post. Nothing ever colored outside the lines or dared to question the conventional wisdom. She even gushed over the credibly accused girlfriend abuser Doug Emhoff.

Givhan was not in the business of doing anything other than affirming and comforting the rich elites who subscribe to the Post so they can be affirmed and comforted. If she believed she was trolling Trump supporters, my job is to cover the media, and this is the first time I’ve paid any attention to her. So…

Just another member of the leftist Borg…

But now she’s been schlonged, which means we can add her to the ever-expanding list of the schlonged, and rejoice in knowing we can return to our default position of forgetting someone so stridently forgettable…

John Nolte’s first and last novel, Borrowed Time, is winning five-star raves from everyday readers. You can read an excerpt here and an in-depth review here. Also available in hardcover and on Kindle and Audiobook. 

I don’t know what’s going on in the mind of former FBI Director James Comey, and I’m not sure I want to know. 

We’ve already seen enough of his social media interaction to know there’s an issue, such as the time he “found” the “86 47” message that was made out of shells in the sand on the beach. That’s still inspiring some folks at leftist protests, I see them carrying those numbers on signs. 

READ MORE: Watch: Comey’s Very Twisted Explanation on MSNBC of That ’86 47′ Post

Updated: FBI, Secret Service Get Involved; James Comey Tries to Explain Away His Post Threatening Trump

But a new video post Comey made on his Substack is now going viral. It is weird and creepy. This is some cringeworthy stuff from an allegedly grown man. He says he doesn’t want to talk about Trump. He then proceeds to speak about “a truly inspirational public figure,” Taylor Swift, while mentioning Trump throughout the video. Trump is trying to end a brutal war, but it’s Taylor Swift who inspires this 64-year-old man.

He admitted that he’d gone to two of her concerts and was in a family Swifties group chat, “I know all her music.”

“I struggle with how to stand up to bullies without letting their meanness infect me and change me,” Comey added. “You may have seen that the governor of California has been generating a lot of attention lately by posting on social media in a satirical way, where he mocks Donald Trump and his all-caps, megalomania and his absurdity.” 

“I find it very funny, hilarious, even sometimes. But I gotta be honest, it also leaves me with a strange feeling at times, because I don’t want us to become like Trump and his followers,” he added. “There are far more decent, honest, kind people in America than there are mean jerks.”

He claimed there’s a “stunning coarseness” in the Republican Party today. 

“At my second Taylor Swift concert in Hartford, Connecticut, 14 years ago this summer, she sang a song about this topic, asking why you got to be so mean,” Comey recounted. “She spoke directly to the nasty people, ‘I bet you got pushed around. Somebody made you cold, but the cycle ends right now.’”

“Nobody should have power over us. Thank you, Taylor Swift.”

He even argued that few Americans support Trump when they have to see him.

Um, 77 million Americans just voted for Trump in November, so what is Comey even saying? 

But isn’t Comey the guy who “found” the “86 47” post? And then even on this video, he can’t stop carping about Trump, referring to him as an “elderly make-up-covered president.” This guy is truly a twisted character.

He said Swift said to “not give the jerks power over her mind.” Yet if Comey thinks Trump is a jerk, he surely has him living rent-free in his mind, as this video shows. He spoke about how being rude or snarky can hurt a person, making them angry and depressed.

You mean like when you call someone an “elderly make-up covered president”? 

“At my second Taylor Swift concert in Hartford, Connecticut, 14 years ago this summer, she sang a song about this topic, asking why you got to be so mean,” Comey recounted. “She spoke directly to the nasty people, ‘I bet you got pushed around. Somebody made you cold, but the cycle ends right now.’”

“Because down that road is unhappiness,” he said. “Nobody should have power over us. Thank you, Taylor Swift.”

It’s scary to think that this guy had the power he had. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said in an X post, “Second-hand embarrassment” over his video. 

But if he thinks this shows him being tough in what appears to be a message to Trump, it’s the exact opposite. Frankly, it sounds to me like he’s getting mighty nervous, in addition to sounding ridiculous because of his affection for an artist who appeals to little girls. Comey has to be wondering what’s going on with the DOJ and the Russia probe matter. 

Oh, and would it be wrong to mention that he’s also looking a bit orange, which I find amusing, given his attack on Trump.

A fun little story popped over the weekend involving a Democrat named Abu Musa, who serves on the city council of Hamtramck, Michigan, and it’s getting international coverage. You can just file this one under “Dems doing Dem things.”

In the video, it appears that Musa and an acquaintance stuff handfuls of paper ballots into a drop-off box just a few days before a primary election Musa, an incumbent, won handily. Musa is seated in the front passenger seat of the car and can be seen passing large stacks of ballots to the driver, who dutifully stuffs them into the drop box. Under the cover of night, of course.

Watch:

Here’s the kicker: Musa beat out 11 other candidates by garnering 1,129 votes, but only 286 of those votes were cast on Election Day (August 5th). Meaning, 842 votes were cast by absentee ballot. Not impossible, but definitely suspicious. 

The video came to light after Michigan State Police launched an investigation into allegations of rampant fraud being perpetrated by Hamtramck’s top officials, including Musa and several of his fellow councilmen. Councilmen Muhtasin Sadman and Mohammed Hassan were arraigned last week on charges they forged signatures on absentee ballots during the 2023 election. According to one report, “a city clerk noted absentee ballots were being dropped off in large bundles and filled out with suspiciously similar handwriting.”

But, wait, there’s more. Earlier this year, Hamtramck City Manager Max Garbarino was placed on leave after he suspended the city’s police chief, Jamiel Altaheri, over allegations he violated department policy.

DOJ: Enormous Voter Roll Cleanup Soon to Begin

Getting back to Mr. Musa and his now-viral video, he also is under investigation for possible election-related misdeeds, but it’s not related to the video of him stuffing the ballot box. Instead, Musa is facing allegations that he doesn’t actually live in Hamtramck, which is a requirement for serving on the city council. And while the video raises serious questions about his actions and the validity of his recent win, it doesn’t appear that he’s currently facing legal scrutiny for that. 

So, the question is: how many ballots can you stuff before finding yourself in hot water? Oakland County (Michigan) Clerk Lisa Brown has the answer: “You can (return more than one ballot), but there’s a big caveat as to who, whose ballot you can return.” According to Brown, there’s not a strict limit to the number of absentee ballots that one person can bring to a ballot box, but those ballots must belong to a close relative or member of your household. She added, “If it’s an immediate family member or you co-inhabit with somebody — it doesn’t have to be in a romantic way — but if you co-inhabit with someone, you can return their absentee ballots.”

Judging by the large number of ballots Musa and his accomplice were caught on camera stuffing, they must have enormous families. Or, they were caught redhanded committing election fraud. Take your pick.
