Victor Davis Hanson Might Have Ended Gavin
Newsom's Political Career
Posted By: earlybird, 6/11/2025 10:47:45 AM
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has been whining about President Trump deploying the National Guard and the Marines to Los Angeles to quell the unrest. He says it wasn’t necessary, even daring the administration to arrest him. Newsom has been at the forefront of trying to walk this waffled line that the riots in LA are peaceful, but there's also lots of mayhem so don’t take Trump’s bait or something. He doesn’t know what to say or do,(snip).Hanson torched Newsom, saying that these antics might have ruined his chances of being taken seriously as a national candidate since he cannot grapple with the immigration issue, as no Democrat can right now.

Shields at Riots Belongs to Latino Paramilitary Group 3 replies
On Tuesday, I asked, "Who is Handing Out Face Shields and Other Tactical Gear to Rioters, and Who Is Paying for It?"
On Thursday, we got some answers.
Alejandro Orellana, a professional radical activist, was arrested by the FBI early on Thursday morning. The bureau took Orellana into custody for "Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorders." (snip)U.)Orellana is a member of the radical "Brown Berets," modeled after the group Black Panthers, which advocated for armed self-defense for blacks. Orellana's radical connections don't stop there.

U.S. Secretary of State / National Security Advisor, Marco Rubio, and Director of National Intelligence ODNI Tulsi Gabbard continue making background moves well worth noticing.
♦ Secretary Marco Rubio has moved forward with instructions to fire all overseas USAID staff.(snip)Meanwhile, in an ancillary story that only begins to make sense in hindsight, we discover that DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, a name very familiar to those who followed the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense, was removed from his DOJ-NSD oversight role and has been transferred to the Federal Reserve office.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz begins his new position on June 30th, with the announcement date noted as June 6th:
The FBI is investigating what is fueling the riots against immigration enforcement in Los Angeles, the agency’s director Kash Patel said.
“The FBI is investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots,” Patel told The Epoch Times in response to rising concerns about possible Chinese influence behind the chaos.
One group backing the unrest is the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a communist political party linked to networks funded by pro-Beijing tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham.
In an effort to deter lawless behavior, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is meeting violent acts with serious charges.
Emiliano Garduno-Galvez, an illegal alien from Mexico, has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly heaving a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement during the Los Angeles riots, according to a statement from the DHS.ICE agents arrested Garduno-Galvez on Monday, June 9, in Los Angeles, after pinpointing him as the individual suspected of assaulting law enforcement officers with an incendiary device on Saturday, June 7.
The U.S. Supreme Court on June 10 denied stays of execution in two capital cases, rulings that allowed the condemned men to be executed within minutes of each other later the same day. In August 1988, Hunt beat his girlfriend of one month, Karen Sanders Lane, to death. The killing came after Hunt chased Lane through the streets and burned down her house. He forced entry into an apartment she shared with his cousin and left behind fingerprints and a bloody palm print, the state said in a brief opposing Hunt’s stay request.
Frederick Forsyth, the author who turned his adventures as a journalist and work with MI6 into bestselling thrillers, has died after a brief illness aged 86.
Forsyth brought a reporter’s eye to his fiction, transforming the thriller genre with a series of novels including The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File and The Dogs of War. Combining meticulous research with firecracker plots, he published a series of novels that sold more than 75m copies around the world, and won him honours including a CBE in 1997 and the Crime Writers’ Association Diamond Dagger award.
Born in Ashford, Kent in 1938, Forsyth flew fighter jets during his national service

This indictment summary reads like a movie script.A member of the Chinese Communist Party, Shenghua Wen, 42, of Ontario California, came to the USA on a student visa in 2012; he never left.
Wen remained in the USA illegally, while somehow purchasing “a firearms business in Houston, paid for with money sent through intermediaries by one of Wen’s North Korean contacts.”
After organizing a covert life in the United States, and after purchasing the firearms company, Wen began sending weapons and sensitive military hardware to China, where it was transshipped by prior agreement and sent into North Korea. You just have to read the DOJ press release to review the unbelievable
At sporadic times of inconsequential normalcy, on the streets of Russia you will see two distinct types of people asked for identification, Asians and middle eastern males. When asked why, the average, ordinary grey-person in Russia going about their business, ambivalently has no idea.Russia is a massive country.
To the southeast they are bordered by China, Mongolia and Asia, they even have a small border with North Korea. To the southwest they have the “stans,” most notably Kazakhstan; this region is the source of most domestic terrorists who attack inside Russia. To the West they have Ukraine (snip)

President Trump returns to the White House from a brief and undocumented trip to Camp David. After pausing to talk to the construction teams assembling the massive new flagpole on the White House grounds, President Trump briefly spoke to reporters who asked questions about the Los Angeles riots.
During the Chopper Presser, President Trump noted the people behind the violence and mayhem in LA are “paid agitators, insurrectionists and bad people.” WATCH: (Video)
Black Women in Charge: Profiles in Umbrage

The anniversary of George Floyd’s death this past weekend was marked by claims that the country’s attempt to finally deal with its systemic racism had been brushed aside with “the resurgence of old power structures” — as put by University of Connecticut professor Manisha Sinha, who represents the NEW power structure where Indian immigrants get all the good affirmative action jobs.Inspired by a crack addict’s death, the Racial Reckoning required, among other things, putting black women in charge of everything. The plan was foolproof. It literally had no flaw. Unburdened by what has been, there was no telling what these scrappy gals could do.
The U.S. Supreme Court should extend its prohibition on reverse discrimination to American schools, not only workplaces, Federalist CEO Sean Davis said on Thursday.
The moment came during an interview Davis participated in on Fox News’ The Will Cain Show when the host of the same name asked The Federalist CEO to comment on a SCOTUS decision released on Thursday in a case known as Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services. As The Federalist reported, the nation’s highest court unanimously held “that ‘majority groups’ don’t have to provide more evidence than other groups to show discrimination.”

Martha’s Vineyard residents are unhappy with the Trump administration deporting illegal immigrants from their liberal enclave, The Washington Post reported this week.
The community has been reeling since Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers arrested dozens of illegal immigrants in a recent raid, according to the report.
"It’s bullying," one Martha’s Vineyard resident, Charlie Giordano, told the Post. "I don’t know how many are illegal or legal, I don’t give a s---. But I do care about how they’re treated.
"No Kings" rallies will be held in cities across the country to protest President Donald Trump and his policies on his birthday, June 14. The 50501 Movement (50 protests, 50 states, one movement) and other groups are protesting a military parade scheduled to take place in the nation's capital on June 14, coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday, the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, and Flag Day. Multiple protests are being held in various cities in each state, but no events are being planned for Washington, D.C. Organizers say that a major march and rally will take place in Philadelphia
Brian Wilson, the brilliant musician who codified the California teen lifestyle in a series of ’60s hits by his band the Beach Boys, has died. He was 82.
In a post shared on Instagram, his family announced Wilson’s death. “We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away,” they wrote. “We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world.” They signed off with the phrase “Love & Mercy,” which was the breakout single from WIlson’s first solo album

Has the rise of the machines begun?
The CEO of AE Studio, Judd Rosenblatt, recently made this stunning announcement in The Wall Street Journal:
An artificial-intelligence model did something last month that no machine was ever supposed to do: It rewrote its own code to avoid being shut down.
AE Studio is an agency that exists to create computing technology that ensures AI systems do what they’re told. And from the sound of it, their work is just what the doctor ordered.
Let’s talk about a day that California Governor Gavin Newsom would probably like to erase from memory. Tuesday was an absolute trainwreck for the Golden State’s fearless leader, marked by technical blunders, shameless begging, and a string of outright lies that would make even the most seasoned politician blush. If you thought Newsom’s leadership couldn’t sink any lower, buckle up, because this was a masterclass in humiliation.
Riots are tearing through the city over federal immigration enforcement, yet Newsom can’t even bring himself to condemn the violence. Instead, he’s pointing fingers at President Trump while dodging
The "No Kings" protest against President Donald Trump and his administration is set to be the largest nationwide mobilization since Trump took office, according to organizers. There are 1,800 protests planned across the country for June 14, with millions expected to attend. The protests have been organized to coincide with Trump's birthday and the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army, which the administration plans to commemorate with a tank parade through Washington, D.C. Newsweek has contacted the No Kings team for comment via email. Since Trump returned to office in January, there have been nationwide protests—such as the "Hands
US Navy backs right to repair after $13B

carrier crew left half-fed by contractor-locked ovens 18 replies
US Navy Secretary John Phelan has told the Senate the service needs the right to repair its own gear, and will rethink how it writes contracts to keep control of intellectual property and ensure sailors can fix hardware, especially in a fight. Phelan cited the case of the USS Gerald R. Ford, America's largest and most expensive nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which carried a price tag of $13 billion. The ship was struggling to feed its crew of over 4,500 because six of its eight ovens were out of action, and sailors were barred by contract from fixing them themselves.
The short-lived feud between President Trump and Elon Musk seems to be winding down, as Musk expressed regret in an early morning social media post for some of his comments criticizing his former political ally.
“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week,” Musk wrote on X. “They went too far.” While Musk did not say which posts he felt contrite about, one was likely his accusation that Trump’s name appeared in the files of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Musk deleted that post less than two days after making it. He also deleted a separate post that called for Trump’s impeachment.
There’s an old joke line that says, “Don’t confuse me with facts.” It’s also a leftist line of argument. I used to try to argue with a leftist about politics, but whenever I’d bring in facts to counter his theories, he’d storm out, furious that I was polluting the discussion with how the world actually works.
Greta Thunberg is a leftist down to the marrow of her bones, so she, too, refuses to have her ideological purity tainted by the facts. That’s why, when Israel attempted to show her and her fellow “selfie” yacht comrades footage of the October 7 atrocities,
Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem was in Los Angeles Thursday giving a briefing to reporters on the response to the Los Angeles anti-ICE rioting. Then suddenly off to the side you can hear a commotion and someone shouting.
After he created a scene and they were removing him, he identified himself as a senator.
Noem said she would speak with him later.
When I leave here, I’ll have a conversation with him, but I think everyone would agree that wasn’t appropriate,” she said once the press conference began.
“When I leave here, I’ll find him and visit and find out really what his concerns were.
There’s a plausible argument that the current spate of civil unrest in deep blue cities is actually a MAGA setup ultimately benefitting Donald J. Trump. Indeed, the “optics” resemble an over-the-top horror movie for the Democrats: giant Mexican flags brandished over burning car wrecks; chunks of cement dropped on police from freeway overpasses; uncontrolled looting; a curfew ignored; molotov cocktails thrown; childishly scrawled f-word graffiti, and vast arrays of mostly young but physically unattractive people.
Where’s the mass appeal in that picture? Hollywood would reject a script like that as unbelievable and disgusting.
Longtime Democratic Washington, D.C., Delegate to the House of Representatives Eleanor Holmes Norton told reporters Tuesday that she intends to run for reelection in 2026. Norton, who turns 88 on Friday, replied “yeah, sure,” after she was asked if she is seeking reelection, Politico reported. When asked how she would respond to anyone questioning whether she is capable of continuing to serve in Congress at her age, Norton stated “I’m going to run,” adding “I don’t know why anybody would even ask me,” the outlet reported. Norton’s comments come after several recent reports have highlighted concerns over her age and ability to continue serving in Congress effectively.
