    A King County judge set bail at $100,000 for a California truck driver accused in a three vehicle crash on northbound SR 167 near SR 18 in Auburn that killed a 29-year-old Bonney Lake man on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025. As we previously reported, Kamalpreet Singh, 25, of Elk Grove, California, was arrested Thursday morning on investigation of vehicular homicide following the crash, according to the Washington State Patrol and the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. At Singh’s first appearance hearing, prosecutors argued there was probable cause for his arrest and requested that bail be set at $100,000. After hearing...

    — Several people throughout California were arrested in connection with a series of semi-truck and trailer thefts in Sutter County and surrounding areas. . The first reported theft was on Aug. 3, when the Sutter County Sheriff’s Office responded to Larkin Road in Live Oak for reports of a stolen semi-truck and trailer. The person who reported the property stolen said the trailer was carrying about $400,000 worth of product. The Woodland Police Department reportedly found the trailer abandoned. However, it was empty. Additionally, the Sacramento Police Department found the semi-truck within Sacramento city limits. Nearly three weeks later, on...

    An alleged intruder armed with a hammer was shot dead Thursday morning around 7:00 a.m. by a Gulfport, Mississippi, woman who had a protective order against him.

The alleged intruder entered through a window and attacked one woman, who was able to get to another room in the house to keep herself safe. The second woman grabbed a gun and shot the man, killing him. The Sun Herald noted that the alleged intruder, identified as...

    Newsom’s flip on trans kids is just more of Gavin attempting to reinvent Gavin History will not be kind to Gavin Newsom. But it will be accurate. This week, Gavin flipped on the trans kids position he took in his first podcast with Charlie Kirk. On his podcast last March with Kirk, Newsom agreed that he thinks that it was “deeply unfair” to have trans athletes competing against women in sports. But after the podcast, Newsom did nothing about biological males who identify as female competing against female athletes. Now – he’s all-in on trans everything. Because as he said...

    Minnesota Governor and failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz blamed white men for the widespread fraud in the Somali community. It was recently revealed that Walz and the Democrats allowed a $1 billion heist to take place largely through the Somali community in Minnesota. The massive scandal happened on Tim Walz’s watch. The GOP-led Oversight Committee is conducting an investigation into the Somali fraud ring.

    Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Iryna Zarutska, Jocelyn Nungaray, Ruby Garcia, and Kayla Hamilton. They are just some of the American women who have been murdered in this country in the last few years. All of their deaths, arguably, could have been avoided if Democrats prioritized protecting citizens instead of illegal immigrants. Despite their tragic deaths, you’d be hard-pressed to find any Democrat who expressed as much sympathy, empathy, and concern for their lives as they have about suspected Venezuelan cartel drug traffickers in the Caribbean Sea

    Imagine sending your seventh-grader off to school one morning, believing that the adults in the room will protect their innocence. Now imagine that same child coming home shaken because their teacher selected and projected graphic sexual images onto the classroom Smart Board, images so explicit that even the teacher admitted, on the spot, that “some of them were inappropriate.” *** Under the banner of an “art project,” Ms. Gates instructed the entire class to visit an unvetted, unfiltered website. No content warning. No parental notification. No age-appropriate safeguards. Just a free-for-all link that immediately served pornography to a room full...

    Gateway Pundit ^ | 12/12/25 | Brian Lupo
    In October, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division sent a letter to the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections (BRE) requesting review of the election records from the 2020 election. These records had been previously ordered to be retained beyond the requirements of 52 USC 20701 due to pending litigation. Sheri Allen, the chairperson of the Fulton County BRE, obtained outside counsel, without submitting it to a vote of the Board, to respond to the DOJ that the records requested were not beholden to 52 USC § 20701 and, even if they were, they were not in the...

    The New York Times ^ | December 12, 2025 | NYTs Staff
    Arkansas PBS on Thursday severed ties with the PBS network, a move that will take shows like “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood” and “Antiques Roadshow” off the air for tens of thousands of viewers. The decision makes Arkansas PBS the first statewide public TV system to break from PBS since Congress voted this summer to strip $500 million in annual funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which backs TV and radio stations across the United States. The loss of federal funding has put enormous pressure on the public media system, sending stations scrambling for ways to fill big budget gaps. The...

    The nearly two dozen Indiana Republicans who voted against the president’s redistricting plan Thursday are in political jeopardy as Trump allies rally together to take them out. Republicans’ bid to redraw district lines ahead of the 2026 midterms failed after 21 state senators broke with their party and voted with the Democrats to strike the effort down 19-31. Trump claimed on Thursday that he “wasn’t working on it very hard” on the plan, though some have reported the president was making last minute calls to whip votes in favor of the new map. Major GOP organizations like Turning Point USA...

    The word “capitalism” was invented by leftists to disparage Europe’s predominant economic system in the 19th century. While he didn’t invent the word, Karl Marx was its main popularizer. So the term was originally intended, and has always been used by the Left, as a term of disparagement. Nevertheless, conservatives have generally adopted the word “capitalism” and have sought to defend it. Meanwhile, throughout the 20th century, “socialism” ... was anathema in America. More recently, polls have suggested that, as a result of far-left indoctrination in the schools, many young Americans have become enamored of socialism. We decided to test...

    President Donald Trump was sued on Friday by preservationists asking a federal court to halt his White House ballroom project until it goes through multiple independent reviews and wins approval from Congress. The National Trust for Historic Preservation is asking the U.S. District Court to block Trump's White House ballroom project, which already has involved razing the East Wing, until it goes through comprehensive design reviews, environmental assessments, public comments and congressional debate and ratification.

    "Residents in the Pacific Northwest of the US and western Canada are bracing for potentially life-threatening floods as several days of heavy rain have swollen a number of rivers and tributaries. On Thursday, the National Water Center reported heavy flooding along the Skagit and Snohomish rivers in the state of Washington that is expected to continue through Friday. In Canada, major highways to Vancouver have been closed because of flooding, debris and the risk of avalanches. There are evacuation orders in place for thousands of people in the US and Canada, and authorities have warned more rain is on the...

    After the 2024 humiliation, the left is back. It could hurt the party in 2026. Kim Strassel speaks with law professor Jonathan Turley about why the charges were dismissed against James Comey and Letitia James and how Donald Trump is separately using the legal system to the executive branch’s benefit. What could get in the way of a coming 2026 Democratic wave, given history and the current public mood? Nothing but the Democratic Party itself, which is sitting placidly by as the progressives who lost them last year’s election mobilize to take over even more of the party. Bernie Sanders...

    The Trump administration announced plans Wednesday to add another militarized zone to the southern border — this time in California — as part of a major shift that has thrust troops into border enforcement with Mexico like never before. The Department of Interior said it would transfer jurisdiction along most of California's border with Mexico to the Navy to reinforce "the historic role public lands have played in safeguarding national sovereignty." The Interior Department described the newest national defense area in California as a high-traffic zone for unlawful crossings by immigrants. But Border Patrol arrests along the southern U.S. border...

    With climate change steadily dismantling the icy habitat essential to their existence, new research suggests polar bears are rapidly rewiring their own genetics in a bid to survive. The species is being forced to adapt to the harsher reality of a warming Arctic, in what scientists believe is the first documented case of rising temperatures driving genetic change in a mammal. Researchers from the University of East Anglia in Britain say these findings, published Friday in the journal Mobile DNA, offer a rare glimmer of hope for the species. "Polar bears are still sadly expected to go extinct this century,...

    Maryland will launch a study to analyze the economic impacts of climate change to determine the costs associated with storm damage and health outcomes. The move is part of the Moore-Miller administration's strategic approach to investing in a clean energy economy and modernizing the state's energy infrastructure. "While the federal government has spent the past year rolling back climate protections and driving up energy costs, Maryland is taking a responsible step toward understanding the true price tag of climate change," Gov. Wes Moore said in a statement. "This study will give us a clear, data-driven look at the real burden...
