Video shows federal agents ramming a car in Los Angeles to catch an accused rioter who authorities say punched a U.S. border agent.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a video on Wednesday showing agents arresting Christian Damian Cerno-Camacho, a U.S. citizen who allegedly assaulted an officer during the anti-ICE riots and tried to flee.
“This was no hit and run. This was a targeted arrest of a violent rioter who punched a CBP officer. When Homeland Security Investigations tried to arrest Christian Damian Cerno-Camacho for the assault, he attempted to flee. He was ultimately arrested and taken into custody,” DHS said in a post
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem landed in riot-scarred Los Angeles on Thursday and immediately put the nation on notice: the IRS is now involved, and the hunt for the financial backers of violent unrest has officially begun.
Noem, flanked by law enforcement and federal officials, announced that the Internal Revenue Service has been deployed to trace the money behind the chaos — including potential funding from radical NGOs, militant unions, and other shadowy groups.
“We also have the IRS here, helping us track how these violent protesters are funded—what NGOs are out there, what unions, what other individuals may be funding these violent perpetrators who infiltrate protests,” Noem said during the press conference.

Dems on Senate Committee Over OBBB, 2024:
'Your Side Lost' replies
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday to talk about President Trump's reconciliation bill and how it affects taxes and economic policy overall.
On Wednesday, as we wrote, it was the House Ways and Means Committee's turn to hear from him and during part of the back-and-forth, the cabinet secretary had the misfortune of tangling with one Dem representative who accused him of sexism. He was also questioned by Stacey Plaskett, the delegate from the Virgin Islands, which my colleague Nick Arama described as an "encounter with a crazy aftermath":
Bessent politely tells her she's incorrect....Plaskett tries to scold him like he's a child.
NFL teams may be putting in calls to a bystander who took action against a rioter in Los Angeles after he delivered a perfect form tackle to a rioter.
A video has gone viral showing the altercation, which happened amid a week of violence perpetrated by left-wing anarchists. In it, you can see a man dressed in black verbally accosting LASD deputies wearing protective gear before he throws a bottle at one of them. The deputies then opened fire with non-lethal rounds, causing the man to retreat.
That's when a bystander, who can be seen in a white shirt, gets involved and delivers a lesson the rioter will never forget.
Earlier today, while hosting Hugh Hewitt's show, I asked former Senator Jim Talent whether we could expect Israel to finally attack Iranian nuclear sites, after the mullahs refused to stop enriching uranium.[snip] Update: Benjamin Netanyahu made clear that this is not a one-night operation:[snip] JUST IN: Intel suggests ALL of Iran’s general staff, including the head of the military were ELIMINATED in tonight’s strikes by Israel[snip] Islamic Republic of Iran state media says the top commander of the IRGC, Hossein Salami, was targeted in the Israeli airstrikes and is dead.
A federal judge late Thursday ruled that the federalization of parts of California's National Guard by President Donald Trump was "illegal," and ordered Trump to return control of the Guard to state Gov. Gavin Newsom "forthwith."
But Judge Charles Breyer stayed his temporary restraining order from taking effect until 3 p.m. ET on Friday to allow the Trump administration to appeal his decision. The administration promptly did just that, asking the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to block Breyer's ruling from taking effect.
Elon Musk should be happy now: the House voted to push through his DOGE cuts.[snip] Mr. Musk has opposed the budget reconciliation package for numerous reasons.

Today, the governors of three “sanctuary states” will try to explain to lawmakers why it is official state policy to protect those who are in the U.S. illegally – including violent felons – from deportation.
Do these governors know that millions of American citizens have fled their sanctuary states in the past four years? Do they care?
The hearing – which will feature Illinois’ JB Pritzker, Minnesota’s Tim Walz, and New York’s Kathy Hochul – should be a lively one, even if the preening California Gov. Gavin Newsom isn’t there to defend the riots his policies have unleashed.
As Katie covered earlier on Thursday night, Israel has begun its attack on Iran. The attack seemed imminent, as reports were coming in on Wednesday that this was a move that could be coming.[snip]Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had "authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents from locations across the Middle East." Not long after the attack took place, Secretary of State Marco Rubio put out a statement about the preemptive attack. His statement stressed that the United States is in no way involved in such an attack. There was also a directive for Iran in Rubio's statement.
In what I can only describe as a masterclass in political demolition, Rep. Elise Stefanik delivered a withering takedown of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul during a House committee hearing on sanctuary state policies. The exchange was so brutal and methodical that it may have effectively ended Hochul's political career before it even had a chance to flourish.
Stefanik, who is reportedly considering a gubernatorial run herself, came armed with facts while Hochul appeared woefully unprepared to defend her own policies. From the opening moments, this wouldn't be a typical political theater exchange — this was a prosecutor methodically building her case against a defendant who had no viable defense.
On Thursday, an India Air plane carrying nearly 300 souls crashed in Ahmedabad, India, just after takeoff. Miraculously, one man somehow survived the crash that is presumed to have killed everyone else on board. Forty-year-old Ramesh Viswashkumar, a British national who had been in India visiting family, said he survived by jumping out of the exit-row door. [snip] “Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly,” Viswashkumar told Hindustan Times.
Iranian opposition group NCRI has unveiled explosive new evidence alleging that Iran’s nuclear weapons program has resumed under the direct supervision of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, representing a serious escalation with far-reaching implications for global stability and regional security.In a Tuesday press conference, Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)’s Washington Office, detailed findings from the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), exposing Iran’s clandestine Kavir Plan — a covert nuclear weapons program disguised as satellite-launching missile research.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Thursday Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) should be charged after being apprehended by law enforcement during a Department of Homeland Security presser.
Padilla verbally identified himself as a senator but was not wearing the pin that identifies lawmakers from civilians.I think he should be charged. He should be prosecuted,” Greene said during a Thursday appearance on NewsNation’s “The Hill.
Padilla attended the news conference to address Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem amid the chaos in California caused by large-scale protests.
Greene said Padilla’s arrest was warranted because he was not wearing the pin, which “Secret Service and all Capitol police are trained to see.”
As was widely expected, overnight in Tehran, Israel has begun a series of what it calls “preemptive strikes” against Iran. Iranian state media outlet IRNA reported repeated explosions could be heard in Tehran.
(snip)Sirens were sounded in Israel as the nation prepares for long-planned counter attacks from Iran to begin. Three hours before the Israeli strikes began, President Trump released a statement saying, “We remain committed to a Diplomatic Resolution to the Iran Nuclear Issue! My entire Administration has been directed to negotiate with Iran. They could be a Great Country, but they first must completely give up hopes of obtaining a Nuclear Weapon.
Justice is coming to the Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi as prosecutors involved in the Biden administration’s lawfare against Donald Trump and his supporters are gradually rooted out.
The latest is Ahmed Baset, one of the DOJ team who dusted off an old Civil War era charge of “seditious conspiracy” against members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to align with the fake Dem narrative that Trump was an insurrectionist.
He also teamed up with Jack Smith on the Get-Trump Special Counsel investigation, which they hoped would land Trump in jail.
Israel has reportedly bombed the capital of Iran in a preemptive strike against the Islamic regime that has vowed to wipe Israel off the map.
The Israeli Air Force launched its attack late Thursday on Iran’s nuclear program, according to The Times of Israel. “Home Front Command spokesman says Israel could experience ‘heavy missile attack’ in coming hours, but no fire from Iran as yet and no need to go to bomb shelter," the outlet noted, adding that Israel has closed its airspace.
Israel launched air strikes inside Iran late Thursday, the latest effort by the Jewish state to destroy Tehran’s nuclear program.
The targets of the operation, the extent of the damage, and any casualties were not immediately clear.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the attack, saying in a statement: “Following the State of Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future.” At the White House earlier Thursday, President Trump said an Israeli airstrike “looks like it’s something that could very well happen” — but stopped short of saying an operation was “imminent.”
On Tuesday, I asked, "Who is Handing Out Face Shields and Other Tactical Gear to Rioters, and Who Is Paying for It?"

Walmart heiress Christy Walton promoted a planned nationwide protest against President Trump by running a full-page advertisement that ran in the New York Times on Sunday. The ad, which notes that it was paid for by the billionaire heiress, calls on people to participate in the "No Kings" protest slated to take place across the U.S. on June 14 — the same day a military parade celebrating the Army's 250th Anniversary is set to take place in Washington, D.C. The date of the parade and protests also coincides with Mr. Trump's birthday. The ad lists eight declarations, including "WE honor our
Louisiana doesn’t do everything right. Senator Bill Cassidy remaining in office is a clear depiction of that. In light of the insane protests we’ve seen from the far left over the past week (the same far left that has been fighting to keep illegal aliens from deportation), the Louisiana Freedom Caucus sent out a strong reminder to citizens of the state—essentially reminding them that if they feel threatened by protestors while in their car, they can legally run them over.
The FBI has arrested a man accused of “Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorders ... for distributing face shields to suspected rioters,” according to Bill Essayli, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California.
On Thursday morning, agents from the FBI’s Los Angeles office arrested Alejandro Theodoro Orellana, who was allegedly seen handing out the shields on June 10, Essayli announced on social media.
“We are moving quickly to identify and arrest those involved in organizing and/or supporting civil disorder in Los Angeles,” he wrote.
Essayli’s post included a link to live footage from Fox 11 Los Angeles,
On Thursday, the United States House of Representatives narrowly passed the first rescissions package, which will eliminate billions in unnecessary spending by the federal government. The bill will now go to the Senate, where it requires only a simple majority to pass.
This first rescissions package is said to cut $9.4 billion in spending.
The House of Representatives passed President Donald Trump's $9.4 billion plan to claw back federal funds for foreign aid, PBS and NPR.
The 214 to 212 vote was mostly along party lines, with no Democrats voting for the bill. Four Republicans voted against the measure,
Unlike California, Florida is unquestionably a law-and-order state, thanks in no small part to the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), Attorneys General past and present, and the countless police departments and sheriffs' offices across the Sunshine State who put the safety and security of their local communities ahead of political correctness and woke.
On Thursday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier held a press conference to discuss immigration enforcement in light of what Americans have seen unfold in the Golden State, and elsewhere, with the lunatics effectively running the asylum in Los Angeles County until President Trump sent in the National Guard.
Some have been speculating that Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) might run for Governor of New York.
Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul's term is up in 2026.
Frankly, Stefanik may have ended her on Thursday even without any campaign during a House hearing about sanctuary state policies and the harm they cause. Hochul was already operating at a deficit, being a Democrat defending a ridiculous position. But then Stefanik went to town on her, asking her if she knew any of the names that Stefanik was listing of alleged criminal illegal aliens in her state. She left Hochul stammering.

All right, I admit it: I’ve never heard of Rep. Salud Carbajal. He certainly seems to think a lot himself, however, as he deems that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth isn’t worth his time.
In yet another case of flailing Democrats acting like they’ve lost a few marbles here and there, the Californian laid into the secretary at a budget hearing before the House Armed Services Committee Thursday. While Carbajal may have thought he looked like a tough guy and embarrassed Hegseth, it was in reality the other way around. The lawmaker looked like a mean-spirited, nasty bully-wannabe, the type that would run away if he ever met Hegseth outside of Congress.
We just reported the wild action at Department of Homeland Security (DHS) head Kristi Noem's briefing.
On Thursday, Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) tried to interrupt the briefing, and then got in a scuffle with agents on the side of the room, was hauled out, and taken down to the ground. [Tweets, videos]
Now if you look at the event, you can see the senator starts loudly interrupting, coming up the side of the room, without initially identifying himself at about 6:30 in this video. Then they stop Padilla, and he's pushing back against them as you can see in the video Bill Melugin posted.
With mandate from the American people to destroy the Deep State once and for all, clean out the pedophiles, child traffickers, traitors, and other criminals in Washington (and across all levels of government), Pam Bondi has more important things to do, like making sure the basement dwelling losers who fancy themselves revolutionaires à la Che Guevara don’t (allegedly) refuse service to Jewish patrons. Are these people vile? Absolutely. If they refused service to certain patrons based on religious or political affiliations did they break the law?

A shadowy US billionaire who is bankrolling radicals, including groups involved in this week’s riots in Los Angeles, faces being hauled before a Congressional committee, according to a Republican lawmaker. China-based Neville Roy Singham will be called to testify about his funding of myriad non-profits including radical anti-Israel and Marxist groups.
They include the Party for Liberation and Socialism, which has been heavily involved in protest against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Los Angeles this week, although there is no evidence they have been directly involved in any of the violence which has erupted there.
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.
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.

President Donald Trump signed a congressional resolution Thursday that blocks California’s ban on new sales of gas-powered cars by 2035. The state is expected to challenge the resolution in court as tension between Governor Gavin Newsom and the president continue to rise over the management of L.A. anti-ICE riots.
“We officially rescue the U.S. auto industry from destruction by terminating California’s electric vehicle mandate once and for all,” Trump said in his wide-ranging remarks before signing the resolution in the Oval Office.

Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia are suing genetic testing company 23andMe to stop the sale of millions of users’ personal DNA information. The company recently filed for bankruptcy, as Townhall covered.
The states took legal action this week in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, arguing that 23andMe has “no right to sell their customers’ genetic identities to the highest bidder” unless the company “first obtain[s] express informed consent to the proposed transaction/transfer by each consumer impacted.”
Approximately 15 million people have used 23andMe to trace their ancestry, among other things.
David Hogg, the 25-year-old progressive firebrand, will not compete in the new Democratic National Committee (DNC) vice chair elections that were decided today after a majority of members voted for a new election. After three days of submitting electronic ballots, DNC members voted to uphold the Credentials Committee's resolution proposed by longtime Democratic Party activist Kalyn Free to host a re-election for two vice-chair positions, currently held by Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta. Seventy-five percent of those who cast a ballot voted in favor of the resolution, while 25% voted against it. A total of 89% of DNC members cast a ballot.
During a panel discussion on CNN, Batya Ungar-Sargon, who is no conservative, by the way, delivered a fiery takedown of elite immigration narratives that left her fellow panelists visibly uneasy. Her comments drew a sharp line between working-class concerns and the interests of the Democrat donor class — resulting in obvious discomfort among the network’s left-leaning contributors.
Citing mainstream polling, Ungar-Sargon pointed out that a majority of Americans support mass deportations. “According to a CNN poll, 54% of Americans, and, according to a CBS poll, 57% of Americans, want every illegal migrant deported,” she said. “It's not a majority want the criminals; a majority want every single one.”
Ketamine, Elon, and me
replies
Elon Musk – a man I admire greatly but not unreservedly – used ketamine. It’s not just a rumor. He wrote about it in a series of posts on what was then Twitter.
Ketamine is a manufactured drug that was originally designed as an anesthetic, and is still used for that purpose. However, it was noticed some years ago that in doses much lower than the anesthetic dose, it produces hallucinations. The effect is similar to that of other hallucinogenic drugs like LSD or naturally-occurring psilocybin (“magic mushrooms”).
Ketamine, LSD, psilocybin and many other hallucinogens are thought not to be physically addictive
Stop the presses. Gavin Newsom is running for president.
The governor of California has, for months, tried to tell anyone who will listen that he's not a candidate for president. After his nationally televised "save democracy" speech on Tuesday night, there's no mistaking his intent to make a grab for the brass ring.
"California is no stranger to immigration enforcement. But instead of focusing on undocumented immigrants with serious criminal records and people with final deportation orders—a strategy both parties have long supported—this administration is pushing mass deportations," claimed Newsom in his short speech.
I believe that Newsom was attempting to set the record for the most lies, half-truths, and exaggerations

He’s sending a blunt message to the mob: Try that nonsense here, and you’ll face real consequences. Florida won’t tolerate your street chaos.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog’s board of governors on Thursday formally found that Iran isn’t complying with its nuclear obligations for the first time in 20 years, a move that could lead to further tensions and set in motion an effort to restore United Nations sanctions on Tehran later this year.
Iran reacted immediately, saying it will establish a new enrichment facility “in a secure location” and that “other measures are also being planned.”
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has no choice but to respond to this political resolution,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said in a joint statement.
