Editorial Gerrymandering is an idea that should be terminated the independent redistricting movement here, has vowed to fight Newsom with the same vigor that his character as a Thank goodness for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not only did he utter one of the top lines in movie history—“I’ll be back”—but he’s also bringing muscle to the fight against Gov. Gavin Newsom’s scheme to take Ventura County and the rest of the state back to the days when shady politicians decided who spoke for us in Sacramento and Washington. Newsom’s “Election Rigging Response Act” is a constitutional amendment that, if passed by California...

In April, illegal Harjinder Singh made an illegal u-turn on a Florida turnpike and caused a crash that killed three occupants of a minivan in the lane to the left of his semi-truck. Hoping to bolster his chances of running for president in 2028, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) pointed out that "Trump was president when Singh illegally entered the US. His failure to secure the border enabled this tragedy to occur." What Newsom failed to mention was that it was California that illegally granted Singh a commercial driver's license. When Singh was tested for English language proficiency by the Federal...

Gavin Newsom has been searching for an identity for his pursuit of the Presidency in 2028. It appears as though he's settled on one. He's been advocating for violence against Republicans (this one is Obamaesque). Gavin Newsom calls for violence against Republicans: “We’re going to punch these sons of b*tches in the mouth.” He knows what he’s doing. He’s inciting more riots and attacks against Republicans. Arrest Newsom for promoting violence. pic.twitter.com/WgcGE0CZCp — Paul A. Szypula (@Bubblebathgirl) August 21, 2025But the rest have a theme. He's holding press conferences that are looking increasingly familiar Gavin Newsom: "$175 billion in the...

He had a massive drinking and outburst problem. So much so that when a reporter once asked him about it - he completely lost his composure. 👀

Top Dem donor and Gavin Newsom backer raised $300 million by touting "Corporate ESG Business" based on fake revenue.Joe Sanberg, a top California Democrat activist who decried the corruption of big Wall Street banks and started a company marketed as the “cleaner” alternative, actually propped that company up through blatant fraud, he admitted Thursday. Sanberg and other high-profile Democrats started the carbon-credit platform and online banking app Aspiration Partners Inc., promising to plant trees and not invest in polluting industries. Its motto was “clean rich is the new filthy rich.” It was once a star of the “environmental, social, and...

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom continues to spout dangerous, left-wing rhetoric — this time inciting violence against Trump supporters and other conservatives. Newsom spewed his venomous bile Wednesday while cosplaying as a tough guy on “The Siren” podcast, during which he urged leftists to “punch” MAGA supporters.

The state’s new congressional lines have yet to be approved, but would-be candidates are jockeying behind the scenes. Supervisor Hilda Solis hasn’t publicly announced her candidacy, but she’s already lining up support for a potential new southeast L.A. County congressional seat. As Gov. Gavin Newsom’s push to redraw California’s congressional maps plays out at the state Capitol and on the national stage, a quieter but no less bloody scramble is simultaneously underway. Newsom’s plan — a bid to counter President Trump’s drive for more GOP House seats with his own California show of force — still needs to be approved...

Spanish explorer Gabriel Moraga discovered and named the Sacramento Valley and the Sacramento River in either 1799 or 1808; accounts vary. Moraga wrote, “Canopies of oaks and cottonwoods, many festooned with grapevines, overhung both sides of the blue current. Birds chattered in the trees and big fish darted through the pellucid depths. The air was like champagne, and (the Spaniards) drank deep of it, drank in the beauty around them. ‘Escomo el sagrado sacramento!’” (It’s like the Holy Sacrament.)

A truck driver who spent only four years behind bars after killing half a junior ice hockey team in a horror crash is fighting deportation to India. Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, 36, barreled through a stop sign at 53 to 60mph and a bus carrying 29 players and staff from the Humboldt Broncos couldn't stop in time. The bus collided with the truck's front trailer, killing 16 and injuring 13 in the crash at about 5pm on April 6, 2018, in rural Saskatchewan, Canada. Sidhu was jailed for eight years in March 2019 but was released on parole after four years...

California State Representatives are calling on the Department of Justice to investigate Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom's scheme to rig the state's congressional elections with new gerrymandering and accusing liberal lawmakers of bribery. From a letter written to Attorney General Pam Bondi Wednesday and signed by Assembly members Carl DeMaio, James Gallagher, Leticia Castillo, Health Hadwick, David Tangipa and State Senators Tony Strickland and Marie Alvarado-Gil: We write to request that the US Department of Justice consider opening an immediate investigation into allegations of corruption and illegality involving members of the California state legislature and their current redistricting scheme. As you...

Former President Barack Obama has waded into states’ efforts at rare mid-decade redistricting efforts, saying he agrees with California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s response to alter his state’s congressional maps, in the way of Texas redistricting efforts promoted by President Donald Trump aimed at shoring up Republicans’ position in next year’s elections. “I believe that Gov. Newsom’s approach is a responsible approach. He said this is going to be responsible. We’re not going to try to completely maximize it,” Obama said at a Tuesday fundraiser on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, according to excerpts obtained by The Associated Press. “We’re only going...

Gavin Newsom sucks. He is the slimy, smarmy Governor of California. By any measure he is a failure. He has been doing all he can to raise his stature and visibility for a Presidential run in 2028, which really isn't a good idea. Increased visibility means increased scrutiny. As I mentioned already, Newsom is a failure. PJ on X has complied a handy list for us: Governor Gavin Newsom’s top 20 failures in California 1. Homelessness Crisis: Over 180,000 unsheltered despite $24 billion spent since 2019. 2. Housing Shortfall: Promised 3.5 million new units by 2025, but construction lags severely....

Harjinder Singh needed a translator in court. He doesn’t know how to read English road signs. California gave him a commercial driver’s license. He made an illegal U-turn and killed 3 people in another vehicle.

California is launching a $250 million redistricting effort to reshape all 52 congressional seats, with Gov. Gavin Newsom—eyeing a 2028 presidential run—undermining the state’s independent commission to favor Democrats. Meanwhile, California faces skyrocketing gas and electricity prices, mass population flight, and crumbling infrastructure. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down how Newsom’s redistricting strategy mirrors Texas in name only and targets Republican incumbents on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

The Indian immigrant truck driver accused of killing three people in a crash when he made an illegal U-turn across a Florida highway badly flunked English fluency and road sign tests following the smash-up, the US Department of Transportation revealed. Harjinder Singh answered just two of 12 questions correctly when being tested for English language proficiency by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration after the April 12 crash. And when asked to read highway signs and their meanings, Singh could only identify one out of four signs shown to him, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) announced Tuesday. Despite these...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s social media account mimicking Donald Trump’s all-caps online posts is getting under the skin of prominent conservatives on the right. The reaction to Newsom’s pitch-perfect parody of Trump — including his wild rants, name-calling, and use of AI-generated images — is shining a light on the absurd behavior of the president of the United States, who has largely gotten a pass from his party for doing the same thing. “You have to stop it with the Twitter thing,” Fox News host Dana Perino said Monday of the potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender. “If I were his...

As RedState previously reported, there was a deadly incident in Florida on August 12th involving a tractor-trailer whose driver tried to make an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike, which blocked the other lanes of traffic, which in turn caused a minivan that couldn't slow down to crash into its trailer.Tragically, two of the three in the minivan died upon impact, while the driver later succumbed to their injuries. Videos showed not only the moment of impact but the driver of the semi, Harjinder Singh, looking emotionless while standing outside his vehicle as first responders frantically tried to reach the...

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office is under fire after claiming that under the first Trump administration, illegal immigrant Harjinder Singh, who has been charged with vehicular manslaughter after making a U-turn on a Florida highway, was granted a work authorization. Newsom’s press office wrote on Monday, "Hey, Commander Cosplay: the federal government (YOU) already confirmed that this guy meets federal and state immigration requirements -- YOU issued him a work permit (EAD). Oops. As usual, you are either lying or clueless." ...... DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin wrote in response to Newsom’s press office, "False. Harjinder...

Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a request Sunday seeking records from the Trump administration to explain why a phalanx of Border Patrol agents showed up outside a news conference held by leading California Democrats last week....

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office attempted to deflect blame from the Democrats in light of one of their illegal constituents killing three innocent Americans and accidentally admitted that the sanctuary state of California is wholly responsible for the tragedy. As The Gateway Pundit reported, an illegal alien, who obtained his truck driving license (CDL) in the Democrat-run sanctuary state of California, killed three Americans after he made an illegal U-turn on a Florida highway this week. The driver, identified as Harjinder Singh, was arrested and charged with three counts of vehicular homicide after he made an insane U-turn directly in...
