Does California Want To Be Part Of
The Nuclear Renaissance?
Posted By: 4250Luis, 1/8/2026 8:13:45 AM
As the California Coastal Commission agreed this month to keep the state’s last nuclear energy plant open for at least five more years, the Trump administration announced federal funding for the development of small modular nuclear reactors. The Diablo Canyon Power Plant in San Luis Obispo Power Plant, the only remaining nuclear energy facility in a state, was saved this month from an imminent death when the Coastal Commission voted to issue the permit the plant needs to obtain a federal license to operate for another 20 years. The twin-reactor site has been providing safe, clean and reliable electrical power for four decades. Nationally, the Tennessee Valley Authority and Holtec Government Services in Michigan—

Republican Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), a close ally of President Trump, is predicting the Cuban government will be overthrown “this year” or “next year” as the U.S. blockade of oil exports from Venezuela is ramping up pressure on the communist Cuban regime.
“I think it will probably happen maybe this year, maybe next year. It’s going to happen. I thought Maduro would be out by Christmas. It took a little bit longer. So who knows when it’s going to happen, but we’re gonna get democracy,” Scott predicted in an interview with NewsNation’s Blake Burman.
Dozens of Republicans broke ranks and joined Democrats to override two of President Trump’s vetoes, though the effort ultimately fell short.
Thirty-five Republicans voted to override a veto on a bill that would have funded a pipeline to deliver clean water to southeastern Colorado, while 24 Republicans supported a veto override on a bill to grant the Miccosukee Tribe authority to manage part of the Florida Everglades.However, the House ultimately voted to uphold both of Trump’s vetoes, given the required two-thirds threshold for an override.
The Republicans who voted to override the veto on the Florida tribe bill were:
The House on Thursday failed to override President Trump’s vetoes of two previously uncontroversial bills concerning a Colorado water project and expanding lands of a tribe in Florida.
The move showcases House Republicans’ loyalty to the president and support for his political battles, as the vetoes had been seen as instances of Trump acting on political grudges.A vote to override Trump’s veto on a Colorado water project — a bill spearheaded by Trump ally Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) — failed 248-177-1, with 35 Republicans voting with Democrats to override the veto and one Republican, Rep. Nancy Mace (S.C.), voting present.

Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) is retiring from Congress after serving 45 years in the lower chamber.
“I did not want to be one of those members who clearly stayed, outstayed his or her ability to do the job,” Hoyer, 86, told The Washington Post in an interview published late Wednesday. The Maryland Democrat said on social platform X he would be making an announcement on Thursday morning on the House floor, which is anticipated to be when he’ll officially announce his retirement.
Hoyer is the latest House Democrat to announce he’ll be forgoing reelection and his announcement is notable—
Dramatic video purportedly shows the moment an ICE agent opened fire and killed a 37-year-old woman who attempted to barrel her SUV into the officer’s path in Minneapolis Wednesday morning — as the mayor furiously demanded the agency “get the f–k out” of the city.
In the footage being widely circulated on social media from varying angles, ICE officers approach a plum-colored Honda Pilot and order the driver out of the vehicle after she blocked the path of their truck.
As one of the agents attempts to open the door, she quickly throws the car into reverse before trying to speed forward in the direction of another agent in her path.
Pakistan has repeatedly demonstrated its unreliability as a strategic partner.
Pakistan's leadership unfortunately prefers Iran to the United States — not to mention Israel. Unfortunately, the US cannot trust Pakistan — especially in Gaza.
Pakistan has, to this day, never recognized Israel. Pakistan was also the first country to recognize the Islamic Republic of Iran after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini established it in 1979. Iran had been the first country to recognize Pakistan upon its founding in 1947.
The most recent example of Pakistan's close alliance with Iran emerged during the June 2025 Twelve-Day War — a direct armed conflict between Iran and a coalition of Israel and the United States. Throughout the hostilities,
Tim Walz dropping out of Minnesota’s gubernatorial race hearkens back to the early days of the Harris-Walz 2024 ticket. Less than a week after Kamala Harris secured the Democrat presidential nomination, she selected Walz as her running mate. In Democrats’ imagination, the Minnesota governor would magically sweep the working class, rural voters, and men into the fold like Joe Biden 2.0, all while serving as the Democrat model of manhood — an obsequious, plushie personality nearly entirely feminine in nature, with a few accoutrements of manhood tacked on. Mercifully, the plan failed, along with the Harris-Walz candidacy.
The Russian government asked the US Wednesday to ensure “proper and humane treatment” of the crew of a sanctioned oil tanker after it was boarded and seized by American forces in the North Atlantic.
Military and Coast Guard personnel boarded the ship — formerly known as the Bella 1 and now called the Marinera — in the North Atlantic between Iceland and the British Isles Wednesday morning, US officials confirmed.
A spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the official TASS news agency it was “closely following” the situation.
An “independent” media outlet tied to a pro-China megadonor aims to turn Americans against President Donald Trump for his aggressive stance toward Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
New York City-based nonprofit BreakThrough News has spent years telling its audience, which includes more than a million YouTube subscribers, that the now-captured Maduro’s socialist regime is not the corrupt “narco-state” Trump portrays it to be. The group takes large payments from the People’s Forum and the Justice and Education Fund (JEF), two left-wing nonprofits with connections to tech guru and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) supporter Neville Roy Singham, according to tax filings.
The founder of an infamous Minnesota-based nonprofit convicted of hatching a $250 million welfare fraud scheme was ordered by a judge last week to forfeit her Porsche, designer handbags and millions of dollars in ill-gotten gains.
Aimee Bock, the 44-year-old mastermind behind the Feeding our Future scandal, was found guilty in March on federal charges of wire fraud, bribery and conspiracy in connection to the nation’s largest COVID-19 fraud scheme.
Bock, who along with dozens of predominantly Somali co-conspirators pilfered pandemic relief funds from a federal program meant to feed hungry children in need, is awaiting sentencing for her lead role in the scandal.
Rep. Jim Baird (R-Ind.) has been hospitalized after a car crash, his office said Tuesday.
“Congressman Baird is in the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, and he is extraordinarily grateful for everyone’s prayers during this time,” Baird’s office said in a statement. “Congressman Baird looks forward to continuing his work on behalf of Hoosiers. The Office of Congressman Baird will continue to provide services and support for those who need it. Congressman Baird and his office remain steadfast in their commitment to serving constituents and focused on advocating for Hoosiers at the highest levels of government,” it added.

2028 candidate who vows to prosecute Trump
‘regime’ ‘has my vote’ 32 replies
“Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings appeared to take a swipe at President Donald Trump and his administration, saying he’d support a candidate who vows to prosecute the current “regime.”
Jennings took to the liberal social media platform Bluesky Wednesday during a news cycle dominated by the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis.
“The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028,” Jennings wrote.
On Tuesday, he appeared to knock Trump’s policy on Venezuela, writing on Bluesky, “America is always like ‘ok but the NEXT regime change will work,’ like when I ‘cut out carbs’ briefly every January.”
“I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed, if necessary," Democrat Minnesota Governor Tim Walz threatened Wednesday, denouncing the federal government’s efforts to enforce U.S. immigration law in his state.
Gov. Walz made the apparent threat during a press conference following the death of a Minnesota anti-immigration enforcement protester who was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent as she, according to video of the incident, drove her vehicle into the agent.
“[O]fficers tugged at the driver's side door handle and the woman began

MINNEAPOLIS — Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.
Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.
“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post

Gov. Kathy Hochul rolled out broad strokes of a multi-billion-dollar plan Thursday to offer “free” child care for all two-year-olds in New York City, while expanding pre-K and early child care programs in the rest of the Empire State — with no tax increases, at least this year. The Big Apple already has universal Pre-K and 3K programs, and Hochul said she will partner with new Mayor Zohran Mamdani to age down and fully fund the program to cover 2-year-olds. “This is getting on a roadmap to continue what has already started in the city with four-year-olds and three-year-olds,” Hochul said on MS-NOW Thursday morning previewing the proposal.
It’s the story dominating headlines across America Wednesday night: an anti-ICE activist refused to heed law enforcement personnel’s orders to exit her vehicle — which was blocking the road in an attempt to impede a federal operation — and instead jammed the accelerator and struck an officer. He fired back, killing her.
The opposing views on what went down are stark: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the deceased driver, now identified as 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good, a “domestic terrorist” and said ICE agents were entirely justified in their actions. Meanwhile, leftists like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz
When Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz decided not to run for reelection amid the massive Minnesota fraud scandal, Fox News said that his political demise “puts the Harris campaign judgment under scrutiny.”
But that misses the bigger and more troubling issue. Namely, the media’s culpability in letting Walz get so close to being a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Instead of due diligence, the press went into spasms of joy about Walz’s supposed appeal to Middle America. He was an “authentic guy,” “folksy,” with a “great record.” He had “psyched up the Democratic base,” and has “been inundated with supporters professing their love for him.”
Forget January 6. It turns out January 7 might go down as the date when insurrection really arrived in America — not from the MAGA right, but from the anti-Trump left.
In the aftermath of the fatal shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis of a woman who appears to have tried to ram an ICE agent with her vehicle, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced at a press conference that he had issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard to mobilize to “protect Minnesotans” from “rogue ICE agents.”
When asked if the National Guard would be deployed against federal agents, or if anything like that has ever happened before, Walz said,

A deeply unsettling story from Waukesha, Wisconsin, reveals that a teen murdered his parents — with a greater goal of killing President Donald Trump.
According to local Fox station WITI-TV, 18-year-old Nikita Casap admitted and pleaded guilty to murdering his own mother and stepfather in their home.
That alone is horrific, but Casap’s reason for the monstrous act is raising even more eyebrows. The Associated Press reported that Casap killed his parents with an intent to steal their money to help fund a plot to assassinate President Donald Trump.
“The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means
A Democrat lawmaker contended during a hearing on Wednesday about alleged widespread fraud in Minnesota that her colleagues should focus on crimes perpetrated by “white men” and American citizens instead of demonizing Somalis.
During the U.S. House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Emily Randall (D-WA) used her time during the questioning of Republican Minnesota state Rep. Kristan Robbins to launch off on a tirade about white men and Jan. 6 “insurrectionists,” Fox News reported.
“What percentage of sexual assaults in the United States are committed by White men?” Randall asked Robbins. “Fifty-seven percent.”
Randall went on to cite dozens of people she described as “Jan. 6 insurrectionists”
This is factually a much bigger deal, a bigger win, than most will initially appreciate.
As many deep political followers well understand, the 66 organizations that President Trump has just withdrawn from represent a large network of sanctioned government organizations that structurally support the globalist agenda.
President Trump has issued an executive order [SEE HERE] “Withdrawing the United States from International Organizations, Conventions, and Treaties that Are Contrary to the Interests of the United States.” These institutions, including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, are mechanisms that exist to underpin globalist objectives.

The ICE agent who opened fire Wednesday in Minneapolis was dragged 100 yards by an illegal migrant in Minnesota last June after his arm was trapped inside the vehicle during a traffic stop, the Post can reveal. (snip) The suspect then sped away with the ICE agent's arm caught between the seat and the door frame, according to the Justice Department. Prosecutors said he was violently dragged 100 yards as the suspect weaved back and forth in an attempt to shake him loose from the car. The agent was hospitalized with significant injuries to his arm and hand but made a full recovery (snip.)
