WINTERS – Gavin Newsom was asked to comment about Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction being overturned on Thursday, and the California governor didn't mince words. "Harvey Weinstein is a stone-cold predator. He's a rapist, twice convicted. Not once, twice," Newsom said on Thursday.

Jennifer Siebel, Newsom's wife, testified in a different trial in Los Angeles in...

Is Gavin Newsom completely tone-deaf, self-centered, and deluded? Does he have something to gain by emptying California of its population and ruining it economically? Is he trying to showcase his progressive chops for a potential run against DeSantis for the POTUS slot? Or is he just a terrible human being? If you said all of the above, you may already be a winner. Newsom, in his never-ending quest to make California a post-apocalyptic wasteland of mob rule, Mad Max-style running battles, ritual cannibalism, mutant animals, and the adult version of Lord of the Flies, has signed AB-2098 into law, according...

“Remember that California children are forced to wear masks in schools all day and that California extended their indoor mask mandate through February,” radio host Ari Hoffman tweeted, posting a picture of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, maskless with Magic Johnson Sunday at the Los Angeles Rams’ home playoff game. Newsom, of course, is no stranger to COVID hypocrisy — remember his trip to the French Laundry? — but, like so many politicians, is seemingly without shame. So we have AOC dancing maskless with drag queens in Florida, Nancy Pelosi getting her hair done when shops are closed, UK Prime Minister...

President Biden implored Californians to keep Democrat Gavin Newsom as their governor Monday night, warning attendees of a Long Beach rally that a “Trump clone” in the form of longtime radio talk show host Larry Elder could replace him. “The eyes of the nation are on California because the decision you’re going to make isn’t just going to have a huge impact on California, it’s going to reverberate around the nation, and quite frankly — not a joke — around the world,” Biden said in his final pitch ahead of Tuesday’s recall vote, which could see Newsom thrown out of...

At the beginning of the year, it looked like Jeremy Miller and his 9-year-old daughter were finally going to have a home of their own. They’d been homeless and relying on family, shelters and motels for housing. But he’d found stable work in the Kern County oil fields and had enough money for an $875-a-month, two-bedroom rental in Bakersfield. They moved into the apartment in March, and Miller lost his job within days. The pandemic caused a worldwide drop in demand for oil, triggering mass layoffs in the oil patch. Miller tried to find other work through a temp agency,...

Only hours after escaping a car bomb threat in Afghanistan, Select Staff Sgt. Patrick Blevins fell in love at first sight with his just-born baby boy, awake and gurgling, in real time at Tucson Medical Center.   Swaddled in baby camouflage, hours-old Blake Ashton Blevins had no idea that was his daddy watching and loving and cooing at him on New Year's Day from   a war zone on the other side of   the world.   But Blevins' wife, Kristy, sure did, as she held her unusually beautiful newborn up to the   webcam for soldier-daddy Patrick to see....
