Attorney Buzzbee defending Ken Paxton at the Texas impeachment trial

In an effort to regain control over the people who work for the state government, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has ordered them to report to work at the offices the government has provided for them four days per week. "It has been four years since the pandemic ended," Newsom argued. "The original reason for allowing them to work from home--help prevent the spread of covid--is no longer valid. I've been more than patient. We need these workers to be on the job and under direct supervision to make sure they're really working." The union of California Attorneys, Administrative Law Judges...

"We are moving at warp speed to ensure fraudsters are...

On Monday’s edition of CNN's This Morning, a panel discussed the Senate race in Maine. CNN panelist and TikTok babbler V. Spehar weighed in: "We need to be talking about what we're gonna do for people, not what any kind of scandal coming up is, because there's so much getting lost in the conversations that we're having if we're trying to police, and do purity culture on every single candidate, and that's kind of an issue." Great point, V! Because the Democrats and the liberal media haven't spent years obsessing over every real and imagined scandal involving Donald Trump, or...

There is shocking news that yet another criminal illegal alien residing in California is accused of murdering three: an infant along with the child’s mother and grandmother in a brutal triple murder. California sanctuary laws defy federal immigration laws by drastically limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities. State and local law enforcement agencies generally do not systematically record or report immigration status for all arrests. Breitbart reports the details: Joaquin Escoto Vazquez, a 28-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested by the Modesto Police Department and charged with homicide and cruelty towards a child after allegedly murdering an infant, the...

The White House wants you to see exactly what government health care fraud looks like once it gets cashed out. It looks like an eight-bedroom mansion, game-worn Kobe Bryant sneakers, original Mickey Mantle Yankees cards, and a garage full of luxury cars. All of it, federal prosecutors say, traces back to false claims billed to Medi-Cal, California’s version of Medicaid. On June 2, 2026, the official White House Rapid Response 47 account posted CBS News video of the seized items and tied the case directly to President Trump’s fraud crackdown. An 8 bedroom mansion, game-worn Kobe Bryant sneakers, original Mickey...

I was born in Iran, and as a young student I joined the masses of protesters in the streets of Tehran in 1979 shouting "Death to America." After the Islamic revolution, I decided to search for God... Living in America, I was free to read both the Quran and the Bible; I was free to go to a mosque or a church. So, by carefully comparing the Quran and Bible I came to realize that there is a God who loves me. By putting my faith in Christ, my life was transformed. My troubled marriage was healed; my wife and...

Days after progressive group targets acting AG Todd Blanche's law license for Kilmar Abrego Garcia prosecution, conservative group targets "hyper-partisan ideologue" behind President Biden's abortion protester prosecutions. The legal establishment cheered when the California Supreme Court disbarred President Trump's former lawyer John Eastman for concocting a scheme to present alternate, pro-Trump elector slates to then-Vice President Mike Pence in the 2020 election, deeming it an ethics violation, while Eastman portrayed the proceeding as a political prosecution. A progressive watchdog launched a similar effort last week against acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging systemic ethics violations in his prosecution of an...

Lou Gehrig had the worst season of his career in 1938. He finished the year with 29 home runs and drove in 114 runs, in the American League’s top 10 in both categories. And, of course, he played every game. Those were great numbers for most people. But Gehrig wasn’t most people. He was The Iron Horse. He was Larrupin’ Lou. Since 1927, he had averaged .350 with almost 40 homers and more than 150 RBIs. These 1938 totals were just not good enough. Not for Gehrig. He found himself mired in a season-long slump, where the ball just didn’t...

Susan Collins (R-ME) won’t stop “completely deranged” President Donald Trump. Jones said, “You know, I don’t like this kind of stuff in that, you know, there used to be a time where character mattered a lot more. But where we are now, I remember Bill Clinton.
