Gavin Newsom Said He Had a 'Moral Duty'
To Release His Tax Returns Every Year
He Served in Office. He Hasn't Since 2022.

California governor Gavin Newsom made a bold pledge as he campaigned for his first term in 2017: He would release his tax returns to the public every year he serves in office, a move the Democrat described as the "moral duty" of "leaders seeking the highest offices." Now, with less than a year remaining in his second term and a looming 2028 presidential campaign on the horizon, Newsom's last five tax returns are nowhere to be seen. Newsom said in 2019 that disclosing his returns would deter allegations of "conflicts of interest, self-dealing, or influence from domestic or foreign business interests." News outlets like the Sacramento Bee praised the governor for

Over the last decade and a half, Dems provided the country with a master class on how to target and make life unlivable for people, political organizations and ways of life that they didn’t like.
Just ask a gun owner.
The NRA was targeted by the corrupt New York Attorney General Letitia James, who then proceeded to go after other political opponents, a campaign was launched to debank the entire firearms industry and ingenious ideas were generated for going after individual gun owners.
Could we do the same thing to illegal aliens? Here’s a good start. Here’s a proposal from
It’s pretty incredible when you can get the Democrats and the media to care, suddenly, about the issue of blasphemy. I thought maybe Easter Sunday had led to some kind of unexpected revival when I saw that kind of talk making the rounds.
And then I realized that, no, it was just because they were claiming President Donald Trump thought he was Jesus Christ and that gave them a good angle to appear like they cared about religion — along with the ability to ignore a bunch of other stuff they didn’t want to report on.
The question therefore asks itself: Where was the media when artists
Iran’s radical Muslim President Masoud Pezeshkian has rushed to praise and defend Pope Leo XIV after the Chicago-born pontiff launched yet another attack on President Donald Trump for standing up to the bloodthirsty Iranian regime.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump delivered a blistering takedown of Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pontiff, slamming the Vatican leader as weak on crime, disastrous on foreign policy, and far too cozy with the radical left.
Trump also noted that he recently hosted the Pope’s brother, Louis, at the White House, a man who actually understands the MAGA movement.
When asked by the Associated Press about Trump’s post, Pope Leo XIV refused to back down.

Demographic Targets 5 replies
International Business Machines (IBM) agreed to pay more than $17 million to resolve federal allegations related to its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, including claims that executive compensation was tied to demographic targets. The company’s chief executive, Arvind Krishna, who was born in India, has been a central figure in shaping the company’s diversity strategy. Numerous English-language Indian media outlets have reported that Krishna maintained legal status in the United States on an H-1B visa at some point early in his career. His professional background includes doctoral studies in electrical engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, completed in 1991, and a start at IBM in December 1990,
The White House on Tuesday posted on X that 51 million seniors are now paying “NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY” thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts signed by President Donald Trump.
The post stated: “GOLDEN AGE FOR YOUR GOLDEN YEARS. The Working Families Tax Cuts have allowed 51 million seniors to keep more of their money by paying NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY.” This message continues the administration’s emphasis on tax relief measures, including no tax on tips and no tax on overtime.
The White House has repeatedly promoted these provisions as delivering significant savings to working families and retirees during the current tax filing season.

Ford CEO Jim Farley said Chinese automakers should not be allowed to sell their vehicles in the US – warning the competition would decimate domestic car brands.
In his gravest warning yet, the exec argued that the US should maintain its current tariffs of 100% on Chinese carmakers, effectively blocking their vehicles from American roads.
“We should not let them into our country,” Farley said during a Monday appearance on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.” “Manufacturing is the heart and soul of our country and for us to lose that to those exports would be devastating to our country.”
Affordable, high-tech cars from Chinese brands like BYD and Xiaomi have been racing
House Democrats have introduced new legislation to create a commission to evaluate whether President Trump should be removed from office under the 25th Amendment.
The proposal, led by New York Congressman Jamie Raskin, would establish a 17-member panel to assess whether the president is fit to carry out his duties.
The effort comes despite Republicans controlling Congress and the president retaining veto power, making the measure almost certain to fail.
More than 85 Democrats in Congress recently called for Trump to be impeached or removed through the 25th Amendment following comments he made about bombing Iran.
The Justice Department moved Tuesday to vacate the seditious conspiracy convictions of former Proud Boys leaders who led hundreds of supporters to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
In a consolidated appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the DOJ asked judges to wipe out the convictions of former Proud Boys leaders Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola and send the case back to the trial court so prosecutors can formally move to dismiss the indictment with prejudice. Federal prosecutors argued that vacating the convictions would allow the DOJ to exercise its discretion and end the case entirely under
A police dog named “Pub” helped two federal agents sniff out two massive cash seizures amounting to nearly $75,000 in undeclared cash in the first quarter of 2026.
Pub, a Belgian Malinois trained to find currency and firearms, alerted Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents to a hidden stash of $44,432 in February and another pile worth $30,417 in March.
The Belgian Malinois found 20 percent of the total undeclared cash discovered at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in the first quarter of the year. The larger sum was bound for Qatar, while the second was due for El Salvador.
Agents reportedly said they gave the suspects with undeclared cash “multiple opportunities” to confess before
After independent journalist Nick Shirley sparked a national news cycle in January over alleged state-administered fraud, California lawmakers have moved to restrict the activities of independent journalists who question government spending, according to state officials.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Signal, California state Assemblyman David Tangipa said the California Legislature is advancing what he described as “unconstitutional legislation” that would limit the release of video recordings by independent journalists who investigate taxpayer-funded programs.
Assembly Bill 2624 was introduced in February by California state Assemblywoman Mia Bonta following the viral success of a Shirley video questioning potential health care and day care fraud.
A group of Catholic nuns is battling the state of New York, which wants to take an LGBT hammer to a home that has cared for terminal cancer patients for almost 125 years.
The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne operate the 42-bed Rosary Hill Home, which cares for terminally ill people without charging them anything, according to EWTN.
But the sisters have broken the state commandment that declares pronouns are more important than prayer and that gender identity should determine who is a man or woman, not God-given biology. State officials have said the nuns broke the rules by “refusing to assign a room to a resident other than

Democrats did not turn a blind eye to Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-CA) alleged behavior, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said during an appearance at the American Public Transportation Association’s legislative conference this week, stating that she had “no idea whatsoever” about these accusations.
Pelosi, 86, was confronted on whether or not Democrats have turned a “blind eye” to the sexual misconduct accusations against Swalwell, who has since suspended his gubernatorial campaign and announced a coming resignation from Congress. No. That’s not true,” Pelosi denied. “That is absolutely positive — and it is true that they may say that, but it is absolutely not true.”
When asked if Pelosi had any idea —
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) on Monday signed into law a bill eliminating tax exemptions for multiple organizations connected to the Confederacy.
Democrats in the Virginia House and Senate passed HB167 with vote totals of 62-35 and 21-17, respectively, earlier this year. The bill specifically removes the Virginia Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and the Confederate Memorial Literary Society, among other similar groups, from the list of organizations exempt from state property taxes.
The UDC, a nonprofit, was founded in 1894 by women “seeking to honor their family members and ancestors” who served in the Confederate military or contributed to the Southern war effort, its website states.
DENVER (KDVR) — An attempt to save Denver’s only lesbian bar has failed only days after the community raised more than $80,000 in donations to keep it open as infighting among owners and staff led to the business’s immediate dissolution. The Pearl, one of just a few dozen lesbian bars in the U.S., on Saturday announced it would close at the end of the month after falling behind on paying staff and performers as well as building costs to maintain its location in the historic Mercury Cafe. The Pearl had only been open for a year and had more than a couple past problems during its existence.
FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. — Kevin Cichowski, an aspiring Florida governor who declared his candidacy for the Democratic primary, faced domestic violence charges on Monday.
Cichowski, 46, a 2021 Palm Coast mayoral candidate, injured his 82-year-old father and his 76-year-old mother on Friday at their home in Palm Coast, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputy’s arrest report.Cichowski struck his father on the head with a firearm that he also pointed at his mouth, ear, and groin, while he “threatened to shoot and kill him,” according to the deputy’s arrest report.
His mother — who was bedridden — reported Chichowski snatched her cellphone and struck her in the head with it,

If you do, you’re guilty of “harassment,” and the harassed is entitled to substantial financial compensation through a court of law—the bill reads the awarded amount can be “up to a maximum of three times the actual damages” and never less than $4,000.

Which brings us to Judge James Boasberg, who's done more than any of them to try to shut down President Trump's legitimate power to govern.
He's in the donkey seat now, berated by a higher court for his 'abuse of power,' as they put it.
According to the Washington Times:
A federal appeals court delivered an embarrassing spanking to U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday, ordering him to shut down his “intrusive” criminal contempt of court investigation against the Trump administration.

If you want to get a feel for where the Democrats are without having to pay the New York Times, there's probably no better source than the Huffington Post — and HuffPo just slipped former Vice President Kamala Harris the shiv.
It didn't mess around, either. HuffPo's Kevin Robillard wrote the report, but whoever wrote the headline put the hit job well above the byline and in great big letters: Kamala Harris 2028? Democratic Operatives And Donors Hope Not.
Harris is like this drunk buddy of mine from way back when, and not because of the drunk part. Well, not entirely because of the drunk part.
Colombia to Euthanize Wild 'Cocaine Hippos'

Hippos typically live exclusively in the wetlands, lakes, and rivers of sub-Saharan Africa... unless an infamous drug lord imported them to South America in the early 1980s, was fatally shot about a decade later, and the ones he kept as pets escaped, adapted to the region, and created their own colony.
You may or may not recall that at the time Pablo Escobar was killed in 1993, he owned hundreds of exotic animals, including four hippopotamuses that he reportedly imported from a wildlife center in Texas, which were kept at his Hacienda Nápoles estate. After his death, the Colombian government deemed them impossible to seize, so they were just left there,
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is handing out $500 vouchers to migrants so they can enjoy haircuts, massages and other self-care benefits, despite the city's budget plunging nearly $50 million short.
Applicants who are 'low-income, isolated queer and trans migrants, asylum seekers and refugees' are prioritized for the 'wellness allowance.'
The initiative, called 'Boston Matters', was created by OUTnewcomers, a nonprofit that advocates for LGBTQ+ migrants in Boston alongside the Mayor's Office for Immigrant Advancement, Mass Daily News reported.
Applicants get $250 to $500 toward 'non-clinical care' completely funded by the city agency, which is run by the Democrat's administration.
The ‘Disease’ That Drives The Democrats

Argentina President Javier Milei recently had some sharp words for the political left. But his observation is backed by more than his experience. Research makes it clear that the various strains of leftism, from today’s American Democratic Party to Democratic Socialists to green radicals to the tens of millions of voters who are attracted to progressive candidates and policies, are fueled by an emotional crisis. We beg our brothers and sisters on the left to consider why they do what they do.
Milei, a defender of laissez-faire economic policy, said he once “thought being on the left was a mental problem.”
