Musk is impulsive, and I think rather stupid to be making an enemy of the sitting president in a fit of pique.
Agreed. Unfortunately he’s probably not wrong about that bill. Question is what do we go broke over ? Certainly not the policies of the last four years.

He is not wrong about the bill. However, he should have kept his criticism measured and focused on the issue. It could not end well for him to make it about Trump himself.

I doubt that was intended literally, more to be insulting. Just more political theater. Bannon's still an ass.

Gavin Newsom just revealed the corrupt reason he let the LA riots spin out of control

By now it is a familiar pattern in California: Democrats create a problem, are totally incapable of solving it, then desperately try to blame someone or something else.

In January, their extreme environmental regulations created the conditions for the catastrophic wildfires in L.A. Their utterly inept response made it worse. And then they tried to blame the whole thing on 'climate change', as if that had anything to do with fire hydrants that ran out of water.

A few months later, another disaster in LA, and it's the same old story.

The crisis over ICE immigration raids was created by Democrat 'sanctuary' policies. Raids to pick up violent criminals at their place of work are necessary because state and local authorities refuse to cooperate with the feds. When the inevitable agitators started whipping up protests, instead of immediately clamping down on it to ensure order, state and local leaders stood back until things were completely out of control. Then, when President Trump weighed in with his decision to deploy the National Guard, the California Democrat chorus started bleating about 'escalation' and how Trump had 'manufactured' the crisis.

At the heart of it all, the increasingly preposterous figure of Gavin Newsom. What was his main response to the devastating scenes of chaos unfolding in his state's largest city? Trolling Trump on social media.

What was the only discernible action he took over the riots that yet again convey the impression of California as the world's richest failed state? Taking Trump to court. Lawyering while Los Angeles burns. What an absolute joke. Does he have any idea how demoralizing it is for the people of California to see their so-called 'leaders' surrender to the mob, time after time? The response to these riots is perfectly in line with the attitude that has come to define the upside-down morality of Democrat rule in California: if you do the right thing, you're punished; if you do the wrong thing, you're rewarded.

So the rioters who set cars on fire, vandalized property, defaced public buildings, smashed up small businesses and violently assaulted police officers are encouraged to 'keep protesting.'

But if you actually run a small business in California; if you are just a regular family trying to keep your head above water - the government will come after you with the full force of its authority: taxes, regulations, endless nanny state bureaucracy making your life an expensive misery. The most expensive, and the most miserable, in America, by the way: California is now 50th out of 50 states on affordability, and in the same lamentable position for opportunity.

These riots illustrate the central problem with California today, after fifteen long years of Democrat one party rule: the insufferable decadence and decay of a smug and sanctimonious ruling elite that has completely lost touch with the needs of regular people. An insular, entrenched political establishment that is consumed by cronyism and concerned only with pandering to its most extreme supporters.

Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, Kamala Harris: this is what you get when a party has been in power too long. Machine politicians whose only real skill is playing the political game. Delivering the basics of good governance is a complete afterthought - if it ever occurs at all. Instead it's all about saying the right thing to please the activists who give them their ideological instructions, or the government unions who fund their campaigns.

This is how you end up with the worst homeless crisis in America despite spending untold billions trying to 'solve' the problem. It's how you end up with the worst poverty and unemployment rates in America despite being the world's fourth largest economy. And it's how you end up with once-great cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, that once captured for the world the beauty and splendor of the American Dream, collapsing into chaos, crime and squalor.

We can't go on like this. California is too important to America - and the world - to let this continue. In the next few years Los Angeles will host the soccer World Cup, the Superbowl, and the Olympics. Who thinks for one second that Newsom, Bass or any other California Democrat is capable of turning things around?

We have a serious problem, and these are not serious people. It's time for change in California. Everyone can see that. If January's fires didn't make that clear enough, then these totally avoidable riots surely will.

'Delusional' Hillary Clinton savagely mocked for LA riots response

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was brutally mocked by critics over a "delusional" X post describing the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles as "peaceful demonstrations" while pinning blame on President Donald Trump for sowing "chaos" in southern California.

"Comments off lol. She can’t handle the ratio. This is what Hillary Clinton calls 'peaceful demonstrations,'" popular conservative X account Libs of TikTok posted, referring to how comments on Clinton's post were restricted to only permit ones from accounts Clinton follows on the social media platform and accompanied by footage of the destruction in LA.

The message was in response to Clinton posting her first and only comment as of Tuesday morning regarding the Los Angeles riots, describing them as "peaceful demonstrations" before Trump mobilized the National Guard over the weekend.

"California Governor Newsom didn't request the National Guard be deployed to his state following peaceful demonstrations. Trump sent them anyway," Clinton posted on X. "It's the first time in 60 years a president has made that choice. Trump's goal isn't to keep Californians safe. His goal is to cause chaos, because chaos is good for Trump."

The comment sparked widespread backlash among critics, who repeatedly urged the former first lady to "shut up" and accused her of turning off comments to the post amid the backlash. "Ever notice that only leftists disable comments?" California Republican Liberty Caucus chair John Dennis posted in response to Clinton.

Social media users were able to respond to Clinton through quote engagements, but not through direct replies as of Tuesday morning. "These are not peaceful Hillary," Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna posted to X.

"A public figure and a fraud like herself shouldn’t be able to lock her replies, @elonmusk," one person responded on X, tagging X owner Elon Musk.

ABC anchor Terry Moran is FIRED over unhinged anti-Trump tweet as network issues blistering takedown

ABC News has fired star anchor Terry Moran just days after he penned a social media post calling Donald Trump a 'world class hater' and blasting top advisor Stephen Miller as full of 'bile.' A spokesperson for the network confirmed the firing in a statement on Tuesday that specifically cited Moran's post as a 'clear violation' of ABC's policy. 'We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew,' the statement read. 'At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism,' the rep added.

Moran, 65, was a senior national correspondent at the network. He previously served as ABC's Chief Foreign Correspondent from 2013 to 2018. Prior to that, Moran co-anchored the network's newsmagazine Nightline for eight years. He was ABC News' Chief White Correspondent from 1999 to 2005. The journalist notably sat down with the president this past April, for an exclusive interview in the Oval Office.

A few weeks later, he penned the tweet that would end his 28-year ABC career. He wrote how Miller was the 'bile' behind the Trumpist movement he claimed was being fueled by 'hate.'

'Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world class hater,' Moran wrote just after midnight on Sunday. 'You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate,' the anchor continued. 'Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his own glorification.'

The next day, ABC issued its first statement on the matter, saying Moran had been suspended 'pending further evaluation.' At the time, a rep reiterated the post did not reflect the views of ABC News, which was forced to fork over a $15million libel settlement to Trump in December. That was after erroneous on-air comments about Trump from Moran's longtime colleague George Stephanopoulos. In the months since, the network has continued to cover the conservative's second presidency, while seeking to stay impartial and avoid the president's wrath.

Seemingly missing the memo Sunday was Moran, who went on to delete the tweet quickly afterwards. However, the damage was already done, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posting it on her official X page.

Gavin Newsom says Trump is not 'all there' mentally and SOBS while accusing the president of making his teen daughter cry during LA riots

California Governor Gavin Newsom continued his all out-messaging war against Donald Trump after he decided to send federal troops to California to help quell the riots in Los Angeles. Newsom painted himself and his family as a victim of Trump's aggressive posture toward California, revealing that the president made his teenage daughter cry.

'I have a 15-year-old who quite literally came home from school crying because she was told on her last day of school — God as my witness — because she was told her daddy was getting arrested,' Newsom revealed on The Daily podcast hosted by the New York Times.

Newsom grew emotional as he spoke about the incident, his already hoarse voice cracking. He was referring to a comment that Trump made to reporters after he was asked if the governor should be arrested by his immigration czar Tom Homan.

'I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great. Gavin likes the publicity but I think it would be a great thing,' Trump said, when he returned to the White House from Camp David on Monday.

Newsom followed up by defying the president, daring him to follow through on his promise. 'I told the president, get it over with. Arrest me,' he said in an interview. Newsom also questioned Trump's mental state in a recent interview after speaking with him on the phone.

'He's lost it. He's lost a step. I saw him trip on the steps today. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago, and he's incapable of even a train of thought,' Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential contender, told FOXLA in an interview.

The White House mocked Newsom's newfound concern about the president's health.

'[R]ich, coming from Gavin Newsom, who in this past election tried to gaslight and lied to the American public about Joe Biden's decline,' White House communications director Steven Cheung told Axios on Thursday.

The California governor also lamented that the president started calling him by the nickname 'Newscum.' 'Yeah, it's the president of United States calling someone scum, Newscum, which is, for what it's worth, what I think a seventh grader used to call me on Baltimore Street in Corte Madera, California,' he said.

Newsom blamed the president for the violent riots in Los Angeles as protestors burned cars and waved Mexican flags.

Immigrants abandon Dems to support GOP immigration policies in large polling shift

It appears that the group of American voters who have shifted in large numbers from Democrats to Republicans in recent years on the combustible issue of immigration are actually the nation's immigrants themselves.

A look at pre- and post-election surveys from the 2020 and 2024 cycles indicates a 49-point swing by voters born outside the United States – the vast majority of whom are considered immigrants – on which major political party would do a better job handling the issue of immigration.

American National Election Studies (ANES) data from the 2020 presidential election indicates voters born in another country said they favored Democrats rather than Republicans on the issue of immigration by a 58%-24% margin.

Four years later, the data indicated 45% of voters born in another county who cast a ballot in the 2024 presidential election said the GOP would do a better job handling immigration, with 30% pointing to the Democratic Party.

There was a smaller but still prominent shift from the Democrats to the Republicans by all voters, according to the data from ANES, which is the oldest election study in the world (dating back to 1952) and is often referred to as the gold standard for election surveys.
