Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom is under new federal scrutiny as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) opens an investigation into whether the state improperly funneled taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens. The DHS probe, led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Los Angeles, focuses on the state’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI) — a 100 percent state-funded program designed to provide monthly benefits to non-citizens ineligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) due to their immigration status. According to a Title 8 subpoena issued by HSI Los Angeles, federal officials are demanding records from the Los...

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. New York Attorney General Letitia James ranted to a crowd that she’s being followed on the orders of President Trump – days before reports surfaced that Trump’s Department of Justice had actually launched a criminal probe into mortgage fraud claims against her. “They got individuals coming to my house, standing outside my house.

The dreams of the “People’s Convoy” quickly died in the Bay Area after a critical tactical error: turning onto a street with a Safeway and a group of bored kids. The trucker convoy, which aimed to emulate the disruptive Canadian protests against COVID-19 restrictions, has failed spectacularly at every turn. During a few weeks of driving around Washington, D.C., the convoy was held up by a single bicyclist, and some convoy members said they were having difficulty finding places for bathroom breaks and, as a result, were forced to urinate in their pants. After an anemic showing in Washington, the...

A year ago, when Antifa protesters assaulted Tucker Carlson’s DC home, my mother — Tucker’s biggest fan — was outraged. I went up to the country to bring in some firewood for her on the day after the Antifa assault, and she was fuming. “I tell you what,” she said. “If I’d have been there, I’d have taken a gun and held ’em all off.” Yesterday I went back up to the country, and took along the Russian ushanka, a traditional Russian winter hat, that I bought in St. Petersburg this month, for her to see. We got to joking,...
