Border Patrol chief crashes Newsom’s
rollout of California redistricting campaign
Posted By: sunset, 8/14/2025 9:04:31 PM
As Gov. Gavin Newsom launched his California redistricting campaign Thursday at an event in Los Angeles, a U.S. Border Patrol sector chief showed up outside with a contingent of armed and masked agents. Agents, some heavily armed and carrying zip ties, arrested “a few” people outside the event, Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon said. Video posted online showed one man in handcuffs being led away. Leading the action was Gregory Bovino, head of the Border Patrol’s El Centro sector, which has aggressively touted its anti-immigrant stance on social media and is under a court injunction blocking the agency from indiscriminately arresting people based on their appearance or location.

Last week US Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed DOJ official Ed Martin as special prosecutor to investigate Democrat Senator Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James over allegations of mortgage fraud.
On Friday, Ed Martin was spotted outside of Letitia James’ Brooklyn home as a grand jury weighs a criminal indictment in his mortgage fraud investigation.
One of Letitia James’ neighbors confronted Ed Martin as he inspected James’ 5-unit property.
“No, you tell me why you’re here,” a woman said to Ed Martin. “I’m interested in houses,” Ed Martin said.
The pieces might be falling into place for Wyoming’s timber industry to make a strong comeback, legislators and land management officials said. The volume of timber being cut in Wyoming might outpace the state’s few remaining sawmills to meet the demand. The increase in demand coincides with tariffs being placed on Canadian lumber, which for decades had been a main source of wood in the United States. Last week, the U.S. Commerce Department announced a significant increase on duties of Canadian lumber imports to 35%. Long-term success of expanding the Wyoming timber industry hinges on building back the “local timber industry,” instead of trucking logs to mills in other states

Turns out the censored film about the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel will be gracing Toronto International Film Festival screens after all. TIFF officials were expected to issue a news release on Thursday afternoon after a wild 24 hours of uncertainty and international furor. TIFF board member John Ruffolo told the Sun on Thursday afternoon that the issue “is all resolved” and the film in question “will be exhibited as planned and even bigger than originally. This was no easy negotiation. There were people calling for resignations and the potential of public and private sponsorships being pulled after TIFF president Cameron Bailey made the call.

A man believed to have been a part of a Romanian criminal organization was sentenced to 10 years in prison last week after he stole tens of thousands of welfare cards across California and New York. Catalin-Marius Graur, 43, was sentenced after pleading guilty to one count of bank fraud. When he was arrested at a New York City Airbnb in 2024, he had over $37,000 in cash and nearly 1,500 stolen account access numbers in his possession, according to the DOJ. Graur would steal EBT card information by attaching “sophisticated skimming devices” to ATMs and other sales machines. Once the victim entered their card, the device captured their information
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been inundated with applications in the two weeks since it launched a major recruitment campaign. The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday morning that ICE has received 100,000 applications in less than 15 days from “patriotic Americans who want to help remove murderers, gang members, pedophiles, and terrorists” from the United States. In order to attract more recruits, ICE lifted age restrictions on hiring. Previously, applicants were limited to a minimum age of 21 and could be no older than 40. New hires will be eligible for a one-time bonus of up to $50,000, up to $60,000 in student loan repayment, and other incentives
The state of Oklahoma is undertaking a first-in-the-nation initiative emptying jails and prisons of criminal illegal immigrants by sending them directly to federal immigration authorities at the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Over the past nine months, the state has developed a plan for turning over more than 500 locked-up criminals to ICE for deportation. It sounds like a simple task, but Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) has said he wants to cut through the red tape — and in some cases, sentences — to save taxpayers money and get what President Donald Trump’s administration has referred to as the “worst of the worst” out of the state and country.
The Washington, DC, Police Union is backing President Donald Trump’s call to take federal control of Washington, DC, due to rampant crime. Gregg Pemberton, the chairman of the union, released a statement Monday afternoon on the heels of Trump’s executive action to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department. “We stand with the President in recognizing that Washington, DC, cannot continue on this trajectory. Crime is out of control, and our officers are stretched beyond their limits,”. “The federal intervention is a critical stopgap, but the MPD needs proper staffing and support to thrive,”. ‘This can only happen by repealing the disastrous policies that have driven out our best officers..”
AOL is set to shut down the dial-up internet service that once was the symbol of internet connectivity after over 40 years.
A company webpage titled "Dial-up Internet to be discontinued" states that the service will stopped on Sept. 30.
The company says on the page that the shutdown follows a routine evaluation of its products and services.
The hum and whir of a dial up modem was how many people first connected to the internet.
At its height, a dial-up connection could manage up to 56 kilobits per second under ideal conditions, according to Apple Insider. Modern connections are measured up to gigabits per second.
The star of "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" Dean Cain claims he has joined ICE and urges his followers to follow suit. On Tuesday, the actor took to social media to say he joined Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a one and a half minute video. The actor mentions the $50,000 sign in bonus and other benefits people can get when they join ICE, such as student loan "re-payment." Cain also touts that applicants don't need to have an undergraduate degree, urging people to join "right away."
The University of California is discriminating against students who are undocumented immigrants by refusing to hire most of them for campus jobs unless they have work authorization from the federal government, a state appeals court ruled Tuesday.
UC offers employment to the small number of immigrants known as Deferred Access to Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. But the university has a longstanding policy of denying jobs to other undocumented migrants who lack federal work permits, saying it is unwilling to risk potentially costly legal actions by U.S. officials. On Tuesday, the court said UC’s policy “discriminates based on immigration status” and may violate California’s employment law.
The Office of Special Counsel has launched a formal investigation into Jack Smith, the first official legal probe into his conduct, The Post has learned. Smith is the justice department lawyer who oversaw two criminal investigations into President Donald Trump during the Biden administration, one into Trump’s handling of classified documents, the other as to whether his actions on Jan. 6th, 2021, were an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Both cases were dismissed. The Hatch Act Unit, which enforces a law restricting government employees from engaging in political activities, has begun reviewing the former Special Counsel

Alec Baldwin is afraid. Very, very afraid. The actor is riven with fears for the future of the U.S. in the wake of Donald Trump’s successful push to increase federal law enforcement across Washington, DC, embracing the conspiracy theory that the president will use any means to “deflect from his inadequacy” and take control of whatever he can.
In a video uploaded to his official TikTok page, Baldwin suggested Trump would not stop at D.C. before going on to list cities across the U.S. and sporting institutions like the NFL and NBL, opining whether Trump was going to seize and “take them over” too:

There Won't be a Biden Presidential Library

Don’t be disappointed if you’re anxious to attend the Biden Presidential Library’s opening. It almost certainly will never exist. D.C. swampsters are trying to bury the record, hoping the public forgets how bad things were. Its subject will soon be either in the ground or too incapacitated to solicit funding. Biden staffers retaining criminal defense counsel have no interest in a library containing evidence for prosecutors to mine. No reporters from press outlets complicit in enabling chaos are hounding Biden. DOGE revelations testify to his administration's wholesale graft. FBI servers were purged of controversial data, unburdening what had been.
Friday on MSNBC’s “The Weeknight,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said that President Donald Trump was a “Kremlin kiss ass” during his Anchorage, Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Swalwell said, “If you’re a Republican in Congress, you just saw a Kremlin kiss ass in the president of the United States. Somebody who squandered an opportunity to confront a ruthless dictator who is killing innocent children and kidnapping innocent children every single day. I don’t know what this meeting accomplished other than taking the Epstein files and inflation out of the news, but you have meetings like this to achieve objectives.
FBI Director Kash Patel says he was “blown away” by what he uncovered inside a hidden “burn room” at the bureau’s headquarters, a locked area in the Hoover Building containing thousands of documents tied to the Russia-collusion hoax and other politically sensitive matters.In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday, Patel described finding not just one, but seven government “burn bags, ”specially designed containers for destroying classified evidence, along with hard drives belonging to former FBI leaders, including James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page.
“I was blown away,” Patel said.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom had an embarrassing rally on Thursday to promote his push for redistricting in his state to help the Democrats.
In addition to not having many people at the rally, Newsom was also upstaged by the Border Patrol making arrests nearby. He flipped out, assuming it was meant as a message to him. He was also upset that someone sent him a "Trump 2028" hat, which he claimed was evidence that President Donald Trump was going to run again. It was a festival of Trump Derangement Syndrome on display.
A leftist columnist recently told the New York Times he believes America needs a new Constitution.
During his interview, author and contributing editor of the New Republic, Osita Nwanevu, laid out the reforms he thinks should be proposed when asked to provide the “new Constitution” he believes that nation should have, the Times reported on Thursday.
He stated:
We could start with the thing that I think most Americans think about when they think about the undemocratic nature of our system, a reform that most Americans have supported for a long time, which is dealing with the Electoral College.
Retired British Army Colonel Richard Kemp has said the primary risk the UK faces is from an alliance “of the hard left and Islamist extremists” and that he fears civil war because politicians are too myopic to take action.
Colonel Richard Kemp, a high-profile Infantry officer who fought counter insurgency on home ground in Northern Ireland in the 1980s, served in the Gulf war and Bosnia, commanded an Afghanistan operation, and who had political-facing senior roles in Westminster including the powerful Joint Intelligence Committee and the Cabinet Office crisis centre COBRA, has expressed concern about unrest and even civil war potentially breaking out in Britain.
Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ lefty, activist stepdaughter was back to her whiney ways in a new TikTok video — in which she bizarrely claimed to suffer from “climate anxiety.” “I think everything with the environment is really f–king getting to me, and it is — I experience a lot of climate anxiety, like all of us do,” Ella Emhoff ranted in a nearly six-and-a-half-minute long “check in” video posted to her TikTok account Thursday. The 26-year-old sometimes-model and fashion designer, clad in an orange hat bearing the message, “Take off your clothes,” chuckled in the clip, before quickly becoming
President Donald Trump has said little about his idea of relocating many of the Gaza Strip’s 2 million Palestinians to other countries since he stunned the world by announcing it in February.
But Israel’s leaders have run with it, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at one point listed it as a condition for ending the 22-month war sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack.
He and other Israeli officials present it as a humanitarian measure allowing Palestinians to flee war and hardship, and say it should be voluntary. Israel has been in talks with African countries —

A suspected illegal alien was killed after darting onto a freeway to avoid contact with federal immigration officers conducting an enforcement operation at a Home Depot store in Monrovia on Thursday, according to city officials. The man was struck by a passing motorist and taken to a hospital, where he later died.
Monrovia City Manager Dylan Fiek says the man ran from the Home Depot parking lot onto the 210 Freeway and likely was fleeing to avoid detection by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the city located 20 miles north of Los Angeles.
According to the statement, the Monrovia Police Department was notified of a possible ICE operation
A new lawsuit has been filed challenging President Donald Trump’s federal oversight of the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, a move he initiated amid rising violent crime and growing concerns over public safety in the District. While critics claim federal involvement is an overreach, many Americans see it as a necessary response to years of failed local leadership and soft-on-crime policies that have turned D.C. into a cautionary tale of lawlessness.
The nation's capital is pushing back against President Trump’s assertive move to place the city’s police force under federal control. On Friday, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a lawsuit challenging what he called a clear overreach of executive authority,
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper pressured a fellow intel community chief to sign onto a fabricated intelligence assessment that pushed the baseless claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump, according to declassified documents released Wednesday.
Published by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, the bombshell Dec. 22, 2016, emails further demonstrate how former President Obama and his intel chiefs weaponized a 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) to launch the infamous Trump-Russia collusion hoax. Declassified documents previously released by Gabbard showed how the ICA’s “key judgement” that Russia’s 2016 interference was designed “to help President-elect Trump’s election chances” was based on weak and uncorroborated intel —

For harboring illegal aliens, Newsom should not be surprised if he ends up either in either federal lockup, or in Mexico as a fugitive from justice.
