Newsome, California Declare War on ICE with Anti-Mask Law

The insurrectionist state of California passed legislation intended to blunt efforts by the Trump administration to remove illegal aliens from their lands. One bill, signed into law by Gavin Newsome (D-CA), would make it illegal for Federal ICE Agents to wear masks during their operations. The move is intended to help terrorists find the agents at their homes and hurt them and their families.

The Trump administration responded defiantly through Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLauglin, who told the press, “Governor Gavin Newsom is fanning the flames of division, hatred, and dehumanization of our law enforcement. At a time that ICE law enforcement faces a 1,000% increase in assaults and their family members are being doxxed and targeted, the sitting Governor of California signs unconstitutional legislation that strips law enforcement of protections in a disgusting, diabolical fundraising and PR stunt. To be crystal clear: we will not abide by Newsom’s unconstitutional ban.”

President Donald Trump’s administration is refusing to comply with California’s new law banning federal immigration agents from wearing face coverings during enforcement operations.

The move is setting up another direct clash between Washington and Sacramento over immigration.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the so-called “No Secret Police Act” on Saturday.

The bill prohibits local and federal officers from wearing ski masks, gaiters, or other face coverings while conducting operations in the state.

The law goes into effect in January 2026.

It includes exceptions for SWAT teams and medical masks, but is aimed directly at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) quickly pushed back.

Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Daily Caller:

“Governor Gavin Newsom is fanning the flames of division, hatred, and dehumanization of our law enforcement.

“At a time that ICE law enforcement faces a 1,000% increase in assaults and their family members are being doxxed and targeted, the sitting Governor of California signs unconstitutional legislation that strips law enforcement of protections in a disgusting, diabolical fundraising and PR stunt.

“To be crystal clear: we will not abide by Newsom’s unconstitutional ban.”

Europe Rewards Terrorists with Palestinian State, who then IMMEDIATELY demand Trillions in “Reparations”

Mahmoud Abbas is now demanding $2 Trillion in reparations from Britain. This comes after most of Western Europe, including the UK, suddenly declared a recognition of the “Palestinian State” while under siege by Islamist revolutionaries their own governments paid to import.

Former top-ranking members of the UK’s military signed a letter denouncing the recognition of a Palestinian state by the UK. They called the decision “reckless in the extreme” and accused PM Kier Starmer’s action as being a danger to Britain’s own security.

After recognition of Palestinian statehood, Mahmoud Abbas is demanding £2 TRILLION in reparations from the UK.

He claims Britain owes compensation “in accordance with international law” for the land it controlled from 1917–1948.

Estimates go as high as £2 trillion.

REWARDING SAVAGES: Canada, Australia, Britain Recognize Islamic Terrorist “Palestinian” state

Now “Palestine” has officially been recognised as a state, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has demanded ‘reparations in accordance with international law’ based on the value of the land which was under British rule between 1917 and 1948.

This whole thing has been such a disaster

Tom Homan Accused of Being Caught on Tape Accepting Bribe, Trump Admin Accused of Covering it Up

The DNC has accused Tom Homan of accepting a bribe of $50,000 in cash to guarantee the payees get government contracts. They say the encounter was caught on video, but the Trump administration stopped the investigation. Now, the Trump administration has fired back.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, “Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 you’re referring to so you should get your facts straight, number one. Number two, this was another example of the weaponization by the Biden Department of Justice against one of President Trump’s strongest and most vocal supporters in the midst of a presidential campaign. You had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president’s top allies and supporters, someone they knew very well would be taking a government position months later. Mr. Homan did absolutely nothing wrong… The White House and the president stand by Tom Homan 100 percent because he did absolutely nothing wrong and he is a brave public servant who has done a phenomenal job on helping the president shut down the border.”

Excerpt:

The White House press secretary on Monday shot down media reports accusing President Donald Trump’s border czar of accepting a $50,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents last year, telling reporters “the president stands by Tom Homan 100 percent.”

MSNBC reported on Saturday that Homan was caught on tape accepting a bag filled with the cash from federal agents as part of an undercover operation in Texas during the heat of the 2024 election.

According to the report, written by RussiaGate hoaxers Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian, Homan took the bribe in exchange for helping the agents win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

 

ABC News Station Shot up by  Terrorist, Leftist Judge Lets Him Walk Free

Anibal Hernandez Santana, 63, was allowed to walk free on bail after shooting up an ABC News station and leaving death threats against the Trump administration. His bail was granted by a far-left judge, whose efforts to free a terrorist were thwarted by the DOJ, who immediately charged him with federal violations to prevent him from being set free.

He left a hand-written note that read, “For hiding Epstein & ignoring red flags. Do not support Patel, Bongino, & AG Pam Bondi. They’re next. – C.K. from above.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Anibal Hernandez Santana, 63, of Sacramento, over the weekend, and a three-count amended criminal complaint was filed against him on Monday morning, charging him with possessing a firearm within a school zone, discharging a firearm within a school zone, and interfering with a radio communication station, U.S. Attorney Eric Grant announced.

According to court documents, on Friday, Sept. 19, 2025, Hernandez Santana fired one shot towards, and three shots into, the KXTV/ABC 10 station on Broadway in Sacramento. While standing on the sidewalk around the block from the station, in front of 2555 3rd Street, Hernandez Santana fired the first shot into the air in the direction of the station. He then drove to the front of the station and fired three shots directly into the building’s lobby. A KXTV/ABC 10 employee was inside the lobby at the time, although no one was injured. The location from where Hernandez Santana discharged the first shot was within a school zone.

Law enforcement executed a search of Hernandez Santana’s person, home, and vehicle. There was a weekly planner attached to the refrigerator in his home. Under “Friday,” there was a handwritten note that stated, “Do the Next Scary Thing.” Law enforcement also found in his car a handwritten note that read, “For hiding Epstein & ignoring red flags. Do not support Patel, Bongino, & AG Pam Bondi. They’re next. – C.K. from above.”

The Sacramento Police Department initially arrested Hernandez Santana on Friday evening, but Hernandez Santana was released on bail the next day. The FBI arrested him hours later. Hernandez Santana is scheduled to make his initial appearance on the amended criminal complaint on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025, at 2:00 p.m.

Soros Spent Tens of Millions Funding Anti-American Terror Cells

The Capital Research Center has issued a report that claims George Soros has been funding far left de facto terror groups to the tune of at least $80 million.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Billionaire megadonor George Soros has funneled more than $80 million to organizations that praised terrorists or urged protest violence in America, according to a new report by the Capital Research Center.

The Capital Research Center report said Soros— through his Open Society Foundation—has distributed tens of millions to groups that engage in or endorse actions that meet the FBI’s definition of domestic terrorism. The revelations come as authorities investigate left-wing organizations for a possible connection to the Sept. 10 murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.

Since 2020, the Open Society Foundation has given $400,000 to the Center for Third World Organizing, which boasts it “threw down with people in the streets” during the George Floyd riots, Capital Research Center noted. Center for Third World Organizing has consolidated radical groups into its hub, including the Ruckus Society, whose founders and training materials endorse tactics that “may be outside of the law,” Capital Research Center says. The network also includes the BlackOUT Collective, which co-authored a pro-Hamas guide that glorifies the Oct. 7 attacks and references a Ruckus Society manual promoting tactics like property destruction and blockades.

The Open Society Foundations also provided $1,850,000 to Dream Defenders and $18 million to Movement for Black Lives, which collaborated with BlackOut Collective to create the pro-Hamas guide, according to Capital Research Center’s report.

Biden Was Losing Cognition, Former Chief of Staff Testifies

The former Chief of Staff of former President Joe Biden, Jeff Zients, went before a congressional panel September 18, 2025 and testified that Biden became increasingly difficult to work with. More meetings were required to make final decisions and Biden increasingly found it difficult to remember names and dates and events.

Zients also testified Biden’s son, Hunter, was in on the meetings to decide who Biden should pardon. He also noted that Biden’s work availability was increasingly less and less. He did claim the Biden debate fiasco against President Trump was caused by a cold, though he could not recall ever seeing Biden react this badly, even with a cold, before.

Excerpt:

Former President Joe Biden’s White House chief of staff told a congressional panel Thursday that he asked the White House physician about a full medical and cognitive exam after Biden’s disastrous June 2024 debate with Donald Trump.

Jeff Zients is the last scheduled witness to take questions from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for its investigation into Biden’s fitness while he was in office. Zients said that Dr. Kevin O’Connor told him he would take the suggestion under advisement, according to a person familiar with Zients’ closed-door interview with the committee.

Zients was White House chief of staff from February 2023 to the end of Biden’s term in January 2025. He ignored reporters who peppered him with questions as he walked into the interview with the committee. He told the committee that after Biden’s poor debate performance against Trump, he thought it made sense for the president to drop out of the reelection race.

The House committee has been investigating Biden’s cognitive state and whether staff improperly used the White House autopen for major presidential actions, such as offering clemency to felons, without authorization from the president.

Zients also said the former president’s son, Hunter Biden, was involved in the pardon discussions and attended meetings on the matter, according to the person familiar with the interview. The then-president pardoned Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun crimes.

Taliban Tell Trump to Pound Sand in Demand they return air base to the U.S.

President Donald Trump publicly challenged Afghanistan’s ruling elite, the Taliban, DEMANDING they return Bagram Air base to the U.S. He told reporters that “we’re talking now to Afghanistan,” to which a reporter asked if he would use U.S. troops to take back the base.

Trump told the reporter, “We won’t talk about that. We want it back. And we want it back right away. If they don’t do it, you going to find out what I’m going to do.”  The Taliban responded through a spokesperson, who posted on X, “It should be recalled that, under the Doha Agreement, the United States pledged that ‘it will not use or threaten force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Afghanistan, nor interfere in its internal affairs.’”

Trump Announces Antifa is REAL and its now a designated Terrorist Organization

President Donald Trump made an announcement that puts man far-left militant anti-American overtly revolutionary groups in the legal crosshairs. He has officially declared ANTIFA, the alleged anti-fascist organization the left wants you to believe doesn’t exist, a terrorist organization.

Trump announced on Truth Social, “I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that his administration would be designating the far-left radical activist group Antifa a terrorist organization.

The president announced the move on his platform, Truth Social.

“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

A White House official later told CNN that the designation is “just one of many actions the president will take to address left wing organizations that fuel political violence.”

The president’s move comes in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University last week at the hands of a young man allegedly animated by left-wing ideology. As Breitbart News reported on Monday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller pledged “to use the whole of the federal government to target and dismantle the organized left-wing domestic terrorist movement in the United States.”

Kimmel Suspended, The Fallout has only begun

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended indefinitely after claiming before a studio audience that the murderer of Charlie Kirk was a MAGA person. The claim is a violation of FCC rules that prohibit licensed broadcasters like ABC from publishing known lies (for it was known by then the killer was NOT MAGA) about news event that could incite violence.

Kimmel said, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

President Trump responded to the suspension, saying, “Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. “Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!”

ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from broadcast indefinitely. The decision comes amidst Republican criticism toward Kimmel for recent comments about right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk’s killer.

Announced on Wednesday evening, Jimmy Kimmel Live!‘s suspension came not long before filming for its next episode had been scheduled to commence. The long-running talk show’s future is now unclear, with the looming possibility that its 22-year run may come to an abrupt end.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesperson told CNN.

The decision followed an announcement from Nexstar Media Group that its ABC-affiliated stations will not air Jimmy Kimmel Live! “for the foreseeable future,” citing objections to Kimmel’s comments on Kirk’s death.
