Wealthy White Liberals Reportedly Urge Democrats To ‘Be Willing To Get Shot’ Opposing Trump

By Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Ireland Owens Some House Democrats told Axios that their constituents have encouraged them to prepare for violence and “be willing to get shot” while resisting President Donald Trump’s agenda. Democratic lawmakers said that there has been mounting anger among liberal votes that has sometimes even resulted in them calling on congressional Democrats to violate the law and be prepared for acts of violence, Axios reported on Monday. Many of the House Democrats told the outlet that these voters are often white, well-educated and wealthy. What Are They Saying? “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities or federal government agencies, one House Democrat told Axios. (RELATED: ‘If I Was Waiting For FEMA, I Would Be Screwed’: You’ll Sob Watching What’s Happening In NC Months After Hurricane Helene) “Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” the Democratic lawmaker added. Some voters have recently criticized Democratic lawmakers for not doing a good enough job of pushing back against Republicans and the president’s political agenda, according to Axios. Moreover, one House Democrat told Axios that there is a “sense of fear and despair and anger” among their voters “puts us in a different position where … we can’t keep following norms of decorum.” The report comes after some recent polls have revealed that the majority of voters hold an unfavorable view of Democrats in Congress. Similarly, Democrats have reportedly been attempting to figure out what kind of policies to embrace to win back voters in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections and 2028 presidential election. (RELATED: What’s America Gonna Look Like? Shocking Video from Rome Gives Preview) “This idea that we’re going to save every norm and that we’re not going to play [Republicans’] game … I don’t think that’s resonating with voters anymore,” another anonymous House Democrat told the outlet. Should We Fear Democrat-Led Violence? One anonymous House Democrat told Axios that constituents have said that “civility isn’t working” and told them they need to be prepared for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.” Additionally, another Democratic lawmaker told the outlet that “people online have sent me crazy shit … told me to storm the White House and stuff like that,” but added that “there’s always people on the internet saying crazy stuff.” “Democrats built this monster. Now it’s turning on them, and the 2026 primaries are going to produce some of the most unhinged candidates we’ve ever seen,” National Republican Congressional Committee Spokesman Mike Marinella said in a statement provided to the DCNF. TMM Analysis We are already looking toward the 2026 primary season. This will be a time where we have so many options to shift the direction of America’s future.

Scott Jennings Warns Elon Musk Third Party Could Divide ‘Forces’ Trying To ‘Save Western Civilization’

Written by Daily Caller News Foundation Reporter/Clipper Jason Cohen. CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings warned Elon Musk on Sunday that his newly launched third party could divide the right and help Democrats win. Musk posted on X Saturday that he had just created the “America Party,” asserting it would restore “freedom” to Americans. Jennings said on “State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash” that the effort could backfire by splitting conservatives and Republicans who otherwise share core goals. (RELATED: ‘If I Was Waiting For FEMA, I Would Be Screwed’: You’ll Sob Watching What’s Happening In NC Months After Hurricane Helene) “It’s harder than it looks to start a political party. And, you know, we’ll see where they go with it. My humble advice to Elon, who I admire very much, actually, is that you may be dividing the forces of people who want to save Western civilization to the benefit of the people who don’t,” Jennings said. “And so, to the extent that this effort would divide conservatives and Republicans against each other, that wouldn’t be helpful, because it would leave the country to people who want unfettered immigration, who don’t share your fiscal views, and so on and so forth.” “So, we’ll see where it goes. I sort of hope everybody puts the band back together the way they had it back in 2024, because when everybody was working together, things worked quite well,” he added. Musk began to repeatedly float the idea of creating the “America Party” to cater to disaffected fiscal conservatives and libertarians after becoming frustrated by Republican lawmakers’ support for President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill — which the president signed into law on Friday. (RELATED: California Dems Blame Wildfires On Trump After Their Party Created Tinderbox Of Regs) However, political experts said that Musk’s billions would be better spent buying him influence within the GOP’s existing party structure instead of challenging America’s entrenched two-party duopoly. To continue reading this article, please click here. TMM Analysis We are living through a major social revolution, whether we want to admit it or not. Sometimes it can be hard to see the forest from the trees. But rest assured, change is here. We already lived through a major disruption with the MAGA movement upending years of Republican-In-Name-Only (RINO) leadership. So, does Musk have the power to create a third party? The short answer is: yes. The long answer is: yes, but he probably won’t see it come to fruition the way he truly desires. Unless he can harness the power of all those feeling disenfranchised by Trump Republicanism, far-leftist extremist Democrats (which seem to be the only Democrats who have any type of power), and bring all young people together under one umbrella that is both pro-life and pro-choice, pro-America, while also being pro-globalist, he doesn’t really stand a chance of making the difference he hope. (RELATED: Guys, We May Have Found The Most Addictive New Outdoors Show On YouTube) In the same way that the Tea Party, Libertarians, and the Independents do very little-to-nothing to change American politics, any new party would probably face the same negligible attention. It can be easy to think that you have power, particularly if you have a lot of followers on various Internet platforms, but none of this power is real. No matter how many likes, clicks, and followers you have, almost none of it translates into macro-real-world influence. People with major followings on X, who think they are the voices within American politics, do not seem to realize they actually have less influence that the women made famous through MomTok (Secret Lives of Mormon Wives). Isn’t that insanely humbling to realize? We are interested in what you think about the chances of Musk’s potential third party changing American politics forever.

Mamdani’s Shocking Claim: Blames America For al-Qaeda Terrorist’s Rise

This article was originally published by JoePags.com Zohran Mamdani, the self-described socialist who is the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, has faced renewed scrutiny over past comments regarding Anwar al-Awlaki, the former head of Al Qaeda in Yemen. The New York Post reports, in previous social media posts, Mamdani appeared to suggest that U.S. law enforcement actions contributed to al-Awlaki’s radicalization and eventual embrace of jihadist ideology. These remarks were made in the context of a New York Times article that criticized the FBI’s surveillance of al-Awlaki, noting his ties to the 9/11 hijackers. According to The Post, “Mamdani, in a series of tweets in 2015, bizarrely criticized the terrorism — after reading a New York Times account of the snooping, which revealed the cleric’s hooker fetish. ‘Why no proper interrogation of what it means for FBI to have conducted extensive surv. into Awlaki’s private life?’ the socialist candidate wrote. (RELATED: What’s America Gonna Look Like? Shocking Video from Rome Gives Preview) In another post, Mamdani wrote, “How could #Awlaki have ever trusted@FBI to not release surveillance esp. if he continued to critique [the] state? Why no further discussion of how #Awlaki’s knowledge of surv. eventually led him to #alqaeda? Or what FBI’s surveillance of al-Awlaki — and claimed the G-Men actually pushed him into that says about [the] efficacy of surv?” Anwar al-Awlaki, born in New Mexico to Yemeni parents, was an American Islamic who became one of the most influential figures in Al Qaeda. He was linked to several terrorist plots. According to The Post, al-Awlaki directed the failed attempt to blow up an airplane on Christmas Day in 2009. He directed the failed attempt to blow up US cargo planes in 2010,’ Obama said at the time. ‘And he repeatedly called on individuals in the United States and around the globe to kill innocent men, women and children to advance a murderous agenda.’” Anwar al-Awlaki was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in 2011. Al-Awlaki’s journey from a mainstream Muslim preacher to a prominent jihadist leader was marked by his growing hostility toward the United States, especially after being imprisoned in Yemen—a development he blamed on U.S. pressure. The cleric was regarded as such a significant threat that President Barack Obama authorized the 2011 drone strike that killed him. Mamdani’s comments have drawn criticism from opponents who argue that he was excusing or defending a notorious terrorist. (RELATED: ‘THE DISASTER CYCLE’ Trailer Will Make Your Blood Run Cold; What Do The Elites Know About What Happens Next?) According to The Post, “retired FDNY Lt. Jim McCaffrey — whose brother-in-law, FDNY Battalion 7 Chief Orio Palmer, rushed into the World Trade Center’s south tower to try to help people before the building collapsed on him and hundreds of others during the hijacked-plane strike — called Mamdani’s comments ‘very offensive’ to 9/11 victims and their families,” adding that Mamdani’s candidacy in New York City is both “eye-opening” and “frightening.” TMM Analysis It is certainly scary to think that America may elect a politician who is so open about his disdain for the nation that gave him everything. Like so many other faux-liberals before him, Mamdani is a danger to each and every citizen of this nation, as his hatred can easily bleed into the soft minds of younger generations and old, corrupting them against the only country in the world where they can truly live in freedom.

California Dems Blame Wildfires On Trump After Their Party Created Tinderbox Of Regs

By DCNF technology reporter Thomas English As California braces for another wildfire season, forestry experts warn that decades of regulatory mismanagement — not climate change or Trump-era budget cuts — have left forests dangerously overloaded with fuel. Democrats have blamed climate change and agency rollbacks for creating tinderbox conditions, but forestry experts see a self-inflicted wound that began festering as far back as the Clinton administration. Three decades of environmental litigation, they say, has warped forest management into a Byzantine maze of legal delays and procedural dead ends — leaving millions of acres to accumulate fuel faster than anyone can clear it. The blame game intensified Friday as Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom took to X to point fingers at President Donald Trump. “Donald Trump isn’t just threatening CA’s disaster aid, he’s also pushing for dangerous cuts ahead of wildfire season,” the governor said Friday. “A 63% REDUCTION in the U.S. Forest Service’s budget. A 30% REDUCTION in workforce — 10,000 employees … He is literally playing politics with people’s lives.” Donald Trump isn’t just threatening CA’s disaster aid, he’s also pushing for dangerous cuts ahead of wildfire season — A 63% REDUCTION in the U.S. Forest Service’s budget. A 30% REDUCTION in workforce — 10,000 employees. The agency is the nation’s largest firefighting entity.… pic.twitter.com/YrVKfyaBPv — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) June 20, 2025 Newsom then accused Trump of “sabotage” in a follow-up post Saturday, citing a San Francisco Chronicle article that reported less than 20% of National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles were actually on the ground fighting the state’s seven ongoing fires — the worst of which is the Monte Fire, which burned over a thousand acres and was 90% contained as of Monday. But Bob Zybach, an author and wildfire expert who has led the Oregon Websites and Watersheds Project since 1996, sees a different cause for California’s chronic wildfire problem. (MORE NEWS: ‘City-Killer’ Asteroid Swarm Adds Fuel To Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, And Poses Huge Cosmic Threat) “The problem isn’t all these massive numbers of wildfires,” he told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The problem is the financial end of it. It’s not Trump, it’s the people, the litigants, who keep suing to shut down the timber industry which has allowed the fuels to build up.” Newsom’s office did not respond to a request for comment. Democrats have already begun a chorus of preemptive condemnations against Trump ahead of wildfire season. California Sen. Alex Padilla said in February he expects the president’s “flagrantly illegal” cuts to environmental agencies will “jeopardize communities that depend on a robust federal response to our wildfire crisis.” Similarly, Newsom accused Trump’s cuts to the Forest Service of creating “rampant uncertainty ahead of peak wildfire season” in May, sentiments echoed in stories from The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times in mid June. But the numbers tell a story of long-accelerating destruction: before 2000, California experienced 45 mega-fires over an entire century, but since then, 35 mega-fires have scorched the state in just 25 years, with 2020 alone burning 4.3 million acres and causing $19 billion in economic devastation, according to Frontline Wildfire Defense. Zybach credits this worsening regulatory logjam to environmental lawsuits funded through the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), which pays plaintiffs’ attorney fees when they beat the government in civil cases. “We have paid these people to shut down the work that would, one, produce good income for our rural counties and rural families, but two, would greatly reduce wildfire risk,” he said. The transformation began with the 1994 Northwest Forest Plan, Zybach said, which started as the Clinton administration’s bid to save a species of owl by designating 7.4 million acres of its habitat as completely off-limits to logging — ultimately resulting in a reduction of Pacific Coast timber harvests by 80-90%. “In the 1970s and ’80s, California and Oregon didn’t have these fires,” Zybach explained. “Then we put in the Clinton plan, the Northwest Forest Plan … I was on the cover of the national magazine Evergreen in 1994 and said, ‘If we put in the Clinton plan, we’re going to have catastrophic wildfires.’ And my predictions were accurate.” California’s wildfire response is handicapped by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Endangered Species Act — two bills introduced by Democrats but signed into law by former President Richard Nixon — according to Nick Smith, a spokesman for the American Forest Resource Council. “The greatest obstacle to doing more forest management, especially on National Forest lands, is the cost and time requirements of federal environmental regulations,” Smith said. “NEPA alone typically adds an average of three-and-a-half years of planning time to thin one stand of overstocked forest.” (RELATED: Newsom Attacks Republicans On Violent Crime — Data Tell Different Story) The human cost was shown in Berry Creek, California, destroyed in the 2020 North Complex where 16 people died after protective forest thinning projects sat trapped in California Environmental Quality Act reviews, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The fire consumed 180,000 acres in 24 hours through untreated forests, Sierra Forest Legacy reported, incinerating the elementary school, fire station and most homes while planned treatments languished in bureaucratic limbo. “Gavin Newsom famously said, ‘Oh, this fire, it was caused by global warming,’” Zybach recalled. “And he’s sitting in the ruins of a fire that was set by the Forest Service … it’s very revealing.” (RELATED: ‘If I Was Waiting For FEMA, I Would Be Screwed’: You’ll Sob Watching What’s Happening In NC Months After Hurricane Helene) By exploiting EAJA, outfits like the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) built a business model around suing the government, then billing taxpayers for it, Zybach said. Smith explained that even when these groups lose cases, they receive compensation for partial victories, creating a litigation industrial complex that profits while forests collect deadly fuel loads. The Center has collected at least $4 million in EAJA awards since 2001, according to federal records. CBD has disputed such characterizations in past congressional testimony, telling lawmakers it “receives little income from federal litigation fee and cost recovery” and that any awards merely offset out-of-pocket expenses. The CBD did not respond to a request for comment. Congress let EAJA’s public reporting requirement lapse…

Sen. Elizabeth Warren Is Furious That Children Are Now Protected From The Medical Castration; Chloe Cole Joins Joe Pags For Exclusive On Her De-Transition Journey

This article was written in-part by Josh Slocum for WokeSpy. Cast your mind back to a time you remember prior to the past decade. Go back to 2000, perhaps. Imagine yourself, and the world, as you were then. Now imagine that a mother told you, in public, that her child had a serious medical need for a dangerous, experimental treatment. That treatment was the only way her child had a chance of surviving. And then imagine you asked what sickness the child had, and the mother told you that her “daughter” had been “born in the wrong body.” That child was really her son, you see, but God made a mistake. In preparation for a “gender confirming surgery” at 13 years old that would cut off the girl’s breasts, mom was prepping her “son” by dressing the child in breast-constricting compression bands, and forcing everyone around her to say that her daughter was actually a boy. (RELATED: ROOKE: Blue State Should Pay The Price For Breaking America’s Greatest Promise) How would you have reacted? You would have been dumbfounded at first, thinking this must be an elaborate prank. Surely no sane person could seriously suggest a sex change for a 13 year old girl? No mother would really consent to a mastectomy on her healthy daughter. And then, you would call the police, and child protective services would remove the girl from her abusive mother’s custody. That’s what would have happened in the normal world of 25 years ago. But today, parents who do not want to have their children poisoned with “puberty blockers”, or mutilated by a surgeon, are in danger of losing custody of those kids. Yes, that is correct. Today, not subjecting your child to mutilating procedures is considered “abuse” so long as the teachers, social workers, and doctors around the family have all decided the child is “really trans.” That’s the world we live in now. And it explains how politicians like Senator Elizabeth Warren feel comfortable saying things in public that would have gotten her investigated for child abuse just a few years ago. The rabidly liberal Democrat from Massachusetts isn’t just known for pretending to be an American Indian in order to be admitted to Harvard is on Twitter acting the part of the witch in Hansel and Gretel. She is furious that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state legislatures have the right to ban the child-mutilation scam called “gender-affirming care.” That’s right. Warren is angry that the court upheld laws that protect children from Frankenstein medical experiments that maim them for life while pretending that it changes their sex. That’s our world in 2025.  Take a look. Warren is like a ravening beast, gnashing her teeth in fury that some children might escape the knife. Like all conscience-free narcissists, she grotesquely positions herself as a “protector” of children’s health. Let’s see if Twitter users found this shocking, too. Explain how it is ‘medically necessary’ to stop kids from going through puberty and developing into healthy, functional adults? — Meghan Murphy (@MeghanEMurphy) June 19, 2025 It’s really very simple, @SenWarren. Children can’t transition to the opposite sex, and you cannot transition to Native American. — Chloe Cole ⭐️ (@ChoooCole) June 19, 2025 This is what Elizabeth Warren is advocating for https://t.co/Znvdf6xQRi — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) June 18, 2025 It’s not actually medically necessary care. I had my breasts removed for no medical reason. They were a physically healthy part of my body. I was also an adult, at least, whereas the minors you refer to cannot consent. — Roxxanne Reed (@rentedocean) June 19, 2025 Chloe Cole on The Joe Pags Show To fully understand how evil the transgender movement in America has become, look no further than the story of Chloe Cole. “In a powerful in-person interview, Chloe Cole opens up to Pags on her journey de-transitioning back to womanhood after receiving so-called “gender affirming care” as a minor. She exposes the lies young people are being told, explains the physical and emotional toll, and calls for urgent protections for children. This raw, emotional conversation cuts through the noise with honesty, facts, and bravery. You won’t hear this story anywhere else.” You can subscribe to Joe Pags on YouTube by clicking here.

Newsom Attacks Republicans On Violent Crime — Data Tell Different Story

This article was written by Daily Caller News Foundation Crime and Extremism reporter Hudson Crozier. Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s attacks on Republican states for their murder rates ignore a wealth of data on how violent crime plagues left-leaning parts of the country. Newsom boasted in X posts throughout June that Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri had higher murder rates than California after Republican lawmakers from those states criticized him over the anti-deportation riots that rocked Los Angeles. However, statistics show California ranks above most states in overall violent crime, one of several statistics that do not fit Newsom’s narrative of conservatives failing to crack down on criminals. (RELATED: ‘Secret Ties Between Soros and Your Local Prosecutor’: LaHood, Pags Reveals How One Foreign Billionaire Is Buying Control Of Your State) The governor’s argument “lacks context and paints an inaccurate picture of crime in California,” Steve Smith, a crime expert for the Pacific Research Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Most states have lower overall felony crime rates than California,” Smith said. A study by Paper Prisons Initiative in 2020 put California’s felony rate among the top 15 in the country. Your state’s homicide rate is 117% higher than California’s. https://t.co/3cJB702klb — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) June 16, 2025 Republicans’ comments toward Newsom came in response to riots in Los Angeles against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids that led to days of alleged vandalism, assaults on law enforcement, cars being set on fire and other chaos. The violent anti-ICE uprising quickly spread to other states in mostly Democrat-led cities after the Los Angeles riots began June 6. Even on violent crime specifically, Newsom’s claims were questioned. The left-leaning Politifact acknowledged that California’s overall violent crime rate ranked sixth in the country in 2023, higher than that of Oklahoma and Alabama, according to FBI data. (RELATED: Los Angeles Burns (Again); Is The Golden State Turning Into An Open Air Prison Camp?) “The Governor’s point is simple: Republican leaders talk tough on serious crime, but the facts tell a different story. You’re more likely to be murdered, sexually assaulted, or shot in a red state than in California,” a Newsom spokesperson told the DCNF. “Since taking office, Governor Newsom has invested over $1.1 billion to improve public safety, fund the police, and crack down on organized crime. That’s why California is seeing results — and the Governor is committed to building on that progress.” Smith noted another inconvenient fact for California stemming from Proposition 47, a measure passed in 2014 that reduced penalties for crimes such as shoplifting and grand theft. “The theft undercount in California was huge due to the fact that crime victims stopped reporting due to Prop 47,” Smith told the DCNF. A bipartisan state commission found in July 2024 that theft reporting decreased by more than 7% from 2010 to 2022 while many violent crimes were reported to be spiking. Voters overturned most of Proposition 47 in November. Newsom also highlighted Republican states’ murder rates in 2022, suggesting Democrats should use the data to push back on accusations that their party is soft on crime. Experts previously told the DCNF that Newsom’s fixation on statewide statistics ignores the fact that liberal cities are often catalysts for violent crime around the country. Nine of the ten cities with the highest murder rates in 2024 all had mayors who were Democrats or left-leaning nonpartisan candidates, according to data from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Two cities were in California, the only state to have more than one city on the top ten list. TMM Analysis Once again, we are begging you not to turn America into California. Newsom is truly trying his hardest to become a big noise ahead of the 2026 midterms, possibly the 2028 presidential election, he has done absolutely nothing to mitigate the macro-social decline taking place through his state. California may have the most beautiful beaches, national parks, and natural landscape, it is home to some of the most dangerous politicians this nation has ever seen. Not only do none of Newsom’s policies on crime align with actual crime reduction, but even his climate change initiatives don’t work. In a recent study by WalletHub, California ranked in the Top Worst cities for air pollution, while boasting the worst-run cities overall. Whether or not the real Newsom is running his own social media, making all of these very silly comments, is unclear. What is clear is that you need to ensure that you avoid voting for anyone who could replicate Newsom’s work in your own state.

‘Secret Ties Between Soros and Your Local Prosecutor’: LaHood, Pags Reveals How One Foreign Billionaire Is Buying Control Of Your State

Nationally syndicated radio legend Joe Pags interviewed former Bexar District Attorney Nico LaHood in late May, exploring how foreign billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundation will pick and choose who they want to run your state. From Joe Pags ‘Unshaken and Unafraid’ In a compelling in-studio conversation, former District Attorney Nico LaHood joins Pags to share his remarkable journey—from a troubled past to a powerful voice for faith, justice, and conservative values.

Don’t miss this rare, behind-the-scenes look at the man behind the headlines. What Is The Open Society Foundation The Open Society Foundation is responsible for upwards of $14,000,000 in lobbying and contributions during the 2024 campaign cycle, all of which went to exclusively Democratic candidates and platforms across the U.S., according to data shared by OpenSecrets.org. Data on the site related to George Soros himself suggests repeated donations to candidates, SuperPACs, PACs, and Parties, ranging from a few hundred dollars to upwards of $48,000. Soros is also linked to ongoing social decline throughout other regions of the world, including South Africa, where racial tensions are reaching a fever-pitch. Our fear is that his end goal is to cultivate a one-world order through the total destabilization of social structures. TMM ANALYSIS Very wealthy people will always want to buy control of your life.

‘This Is Anarchy’: John Fetterman Rips Fellow Democrats For Not Condemning LA Riots

By Daily Caller News Foundation news reporter Mariane Angela Democrat Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman took to social media Monday to criticize his fellow Democrats for not denouncing the violent riots that broke out in Los Angeles after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid. In a post on X, Fetterman said he was disappointed in his party’s failure to take a firm stand against the destruction, calling the situation “anarchy and true chaos.” He said that the Democratic Party risks losing its moral high ground when it fails to unequivocally condemn such actions. “I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that. This is anarchy and true chaos,” Fetterman wrote. “My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.” I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that.

On Friday night, around 1,000 individuals caused chaos in the city, surrounding a federal building, attacking ICE agents, deflating tires, and vandalizing government property, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The unrest led to significant damage and severe traffic disruptions, halting traffic on several critical city roads. Trump authorized the National Guard’s deployment on Saturday night to assist local law enforcement and warned Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom that the federal government would step in if local authorities failed to restore order. (RELATED: Will Summer 2026 Be The Season Of The Blackout? Energy Grid Fails In Major US City) In response, California filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Monday, challenging the deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to the immigration riots. Attorney General Rob Bonta and Newsom said that federalizing 2,000 California National Guard members without Newsom’s consent exceeded the president’s authority.

Democratic California Rep. Linda Sanchez called the deployment “authoritarian flexing” and said it did not improve public safety. She claimed that most demonstrators had remained peaceful. Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters also weighed in, claiming Monday that “no violence” occurred in Los Angeles, despite footage showing cars set on fire and at least one attack on federal agents. Waters then disagreed with Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McConnell’s characterization of increasing violence. (RELATED: Turns Out There’s A Catch To California’s Rosy Population Stats (+BONUS ANALYSIS)) “Well, I was surprised at the way that the police chief was describing all of this,” Waters said. “There had been no violence where anybody that was protesting hit anybody, shot anybody, threatened anybody. Nothing had happened. And so he doesn’t know what to do, probably, because this is a sanctuary city, and the police don’t have the authority. All that he’s got to do is work with the governor.” TMM Analysis It is always nice to see our elected officials speak the truth. It happens so infrequently that we often forget to applaud those who see the light. Even though we’re not in a major election year, your state government can still destroy your life to the same extent as those in California. The most nefarious actors in government are those purchasing politicians from behind a veil of pro-social causes. But you can kick each and every bad politician out of their position of power by simply using your voice. Your elected officials don’t want you to know this, so get involved to learn more today.

Anti-Trump DIA Employee Arrested For Allegedly Leaking Top Secret Intel to Foreign Government

By Jason Walsh, originally published on WokeSpy. An IT specialist employed by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has been arrested for allegedly attempting to transmit classified national security information to a foreign government. Nathan Vilas Laatsch, 28, was arrested close to the nation’s capital and is scheduled to make his initial court appearance in June. Laatsch became a civilian employee of the DIA in 2019 and held Top Secret security clearance in the Insider Threat Division. In March, the FBI launched an investigation after receiving a tip that an individual offered classified information to a “friendly” foreign government. The federal employee apparently indicated in an email that he did not “agree or align with the values of this administration” and was therefore “willing to share classified information” to which he had access, including “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation.” Following communications with an undercover FBI agent, the anti-Trump employee began transcribing classified information to a notepad at his desk. (MORE NEWS: WHO Passes ‘Pandemic Agreement’ Even Though Pretty Much None Of Us Agreed To It) He then repeatedly leaked classified information from his workspace, allegedly. “Laatsch subsequently confirmed to the FBI agent that he was prepared to transmit the information,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia announced in a press release. The FBI then organized an operation in a public park where Laatsch was said to have planned to deposit the classified information for the foreign government to retrieve. “On May 1, FBI surveillance observed Laatsch proceed to the specified location and deposit an item. Following Laatsch’s departure, the FBI retrieved the item, which was a thumb drive later found to contain a message from Laatsch and multiple typed documents, each containing information that was portion-marked up to the Secret or Top Secret levels,” prosecutors said in the press release. “The message from Laatsch indicated that he had chosen to include ‘a decent sample size’ of classified information to ‘decently demonstrate the range of types of products’ to which he had access.” After receiving confirmation that the package had been received, he again contacted the undercover FBI agent and asked for compensation. The following day, Laatsch apparently indicated that he was interested in obtaining citizenship in the unnamed country because he did not “expect[] things here to improve in the long term.” (MORE NEWS: Kay Hill On Biden’s Info Blackout & The Solar Flare Threat No One’s Talking About) Although he said he was “not opposed to other compensation,” he was not in a position where he needed to seek material compensation. Additional meetings were set up by agents after Laatsch agreed to share more classified information. On May 29, Laatsch arrived at a prearranged location in northern Virginia, where he allegedly attempted to transmit multiple classified documents to the foreign country. FBI agents arrested Laatsch, and formal charges are forthcoming. *this article is not TMM’s original reporting and may not reflect how our Editorial Team feels in reality. Please contact us for comment on this story. TMM Analysis It is terrifying to think that people could be so willing to sell out America over feelings or money. We already know that most of our elected officials would sell half the country if it meant fame and fortune for them personally, but it always unnerving to think of how many quiet actors may be working to destroy the greatest idea in history: America. It is such a relief to know that the FBI, under the leadership of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, is working to stop allegedly plots like this from destroying American prosperity. This is precisely the type of win that we want to see in the world — where the alleged bad guy gets foiled. But there are still so many gaps in our understanding of the real threats against the U.S., and too many lawmakers ready to sell us out at the drop of a hat. You have an opportunity to replace those lawmakers in 2026 and 2028, and we can help.

Turns Out There’s A Catch To California’s Rosy Population Stats (+BONUS ANALYSIS)

By Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Melissa O’Rourke. California’s population is growing again, but not because Americans are moving in, according to The Wall Street Journal. In 2024, nearly 240,000 Californians packed up and left the state, WSJ reported. The state’s population still rose by 0.6% overall because more than 361,000 immigrants arrived to take their place. The exodus from the state is not a new phenomenon, as around 344,000 Californians left in 2023, while 292,000 international migrants arrived, the outlet reported. (MORE NEWS: Gavin Newsom Begs Regulators To Keep Refineries In Biz After California Dems Ran Industry Out Of Town) About 56% of Californians have considered leaving the state due to the exorbitant cost of living, a 2024 Emerson College poll found. California’s median home price topped $900,000 in 2024 — well over double the national average — while utility and gas prices remain among the country’s highest. The state’s population decreased for the first time in history in 2020, when over 477,000 Californians left, leading to the state losing a congressional seat. The population continued to decline until 2023, buoyed by an influx of international immigrants. Population Trends The H-1B visa program, which allows businesses to employ skilled foreign workers with bachelor’s degrees, brought nearly 79,000 workers to the state in 2024, WSJ reported. However, applications for the program fell by 25% compared to a year ago due to higher fees and expectations that the Trump administration could impose more restrictive immigration policies. The H-1B visa program has sparked fierce debate among Republicans in recent months. While big names such as Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have defended the program, opponents have argued it allows companies to undercut American workers by importing cheaper labor from abroad. In addition to California, many states rely on immigration to drive population growth. In 38 states and Washington, D.C., immigration outpaced domestic migration last year, and in 16 states, it was the only reason populations grew, WSJ reported. California has the highest share of foreign-born residents in the nation, with more than 25% of its population born outside the U.S., according to the Public Policy Institute of California. As of 2022, about 17% of California’s immigrant population was in the country illegally, according to the Pew Research Center. (THREAT: Mainstream Media Finally Wakes Up To Massive Geological Threat To US) At the same time, the Golden State faces mounting challenges, including a $45 billion budget deficit, while programs like Medi-Cal — covering hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants — are projected to cost taxpayers $8.4 billion in the 2024–2025 fiscal year. The office of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. TMM Analysis & Action Don’t focus on the immigration of this situation. This story is actually about 240,000 who left California — they were the lucky ones, those able to do so despite the hellish tax nightmare the Golden State’s Democrat Party have used to imprison countless residents in the state. “If I wasn’t going to lose so much on punishment taxes, I’d have moved myself, my family, my extended family, and all of my businesses out of California half a decade ago. The government has truly weaponized this place to hold us prisoner,” one southern California resident told TMM. “Crime, taxes, quality of life, and the corruption? That is what defines the place I used to call paradise.” Even though we’re not in a major election year, your state government can still destroy your life to the same extent as those in California. The most nefarious actors in government are those purchasing politicians from behind a veil of pro-social causes. But you can kick each and every bad politician out of their position of power by simply using your voice. Your elected officials don’t want you to know this, so get involved to learn more today.
