The UFC Event staged on the White House Lawn was allegedly almost marred by bombing drones and snipers. According to the FBI, 23 anti-capitalist and anti-Israel activists were plotting to murder Americans on the White House lawn.

Progressive California Governor Gavin Newsom called news of a DOJ investigation targeting him a political persecution, not a legitimate prosecution. The investigation, however, began under the Biden DOJ, not Trump’s DOJ, and is only now coming to light.
The DOJ is investigating numerous alleged acts of fraud and graft committed by the Governor. Newsom claimed, “Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime – they are simply trying to find one. He isn’t coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.…”
Emails obtained by America First Legal reveal a host of officials, from FBI officials to sheriffs across the country, told the Biden administration they have no need to investigate parents protesting “woke” school boards. Despite these warnings, the Biden administration went ahead with a systematic effort to investigate parents for committing potential crimes by voicing their dissent against progressive policies.

After Karmelo Anthony was convicted of murdering Austin Metcalf, his parents are making their interview rounds — and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes what they’re saying is completely “delusional.”
“My son is no murderer. My son didn’t intend to hurt anyone. My son was defending himself, and that’s what hurts so bad,” Anthony’s mother said in an interview on CBS News Texas.
Anthony told the interviewer that she asked the jury to “have mercy” on her son but that she knew “they had their minds made up already.”

FBI Director Kash Patel announced Tuesday that the feds disrupted a “two wave” domestic terrorist plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 celebration prior to the event held on the White House South Lawn, Sunday.
Five anti-Israel, Epstein-obsessed suspects are currently in custody following a multi-state operation that was initiated when the threat was discovered on June 10. The suspects have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
Investigators have identified a potential network of 23 anti-Trump suspects involved in the pre-operational planning on encrypted Signal chats.
The patriotic UFC event was held on the South Lawn as part of President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday weekend, drawing an estimated 4,300 attendees, including about 1,200 active-duty service members. Another 85,000 people watched the grand spectacle on giant screens at the nearby Ellipse.

California is “too gay to function.” And if you are surprised by this, you are not paying attention.
According to Chris Rufo, in California, the left is prioritizing contracts for “state-certified gay-owned businesses.” It is unclear how your business can get certified in gayness, but I digress.
Per City Journal:
In 1986, Governor George Deukmejian signed Assembly Bill 3678, which required certain CPUC-regulated utilities to submit annual “plans” for buying goods and services from woman- and minority-owned companies. Two years later, CPUC created its “Supplier Diversity Program,” which would enforce the law and set contracting “goals” for large utilities.
Under a series of Democratic governors, the program has expanded to include gay-owned businesses. In September 2014, then-Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation requiring CPUC to recognize “LGBT-owned businesses” as eligible for supplier-diversity benefits. Five years later, Governor Gavin Newsom expanded the program further, “encouraging” other companies involved in the energy sector to award contracts to gay-owned firms.

Worse, they behave like envious rabid badgers, which is never a good look. The Party of diversity and tolerance is anything but, and this time, the object of their hate is Elon Musk—still.
Musk was something of a Democrat ally until he did the unforgivable: he aligned himself with Donald Trump, exposed Democrat fraud and crimes, shut down their money funnels, and worst of all, bought Twitter and restored free speech on a platform they previously owned. So, Democrats vandalized and torched Teslas, the electric cars they previously loved, and discovered Musk was one of the billionaires who must “pay their fair share” of taxes, unlike Soros and other Democrat billionaires who must pay Democrats.

Kamala Harris was the Vice President during the previous administration. Some may argue that means she was effectively the second most powerful person in the world. This is why she was very much aware when the former president, aka a sleeping potato, went after the current president through political retaliation. As you recall, the left did everything in their power to attempt to jail President Donald Trump while he was the leading Republican candidate. If this is not going after your political enemies, nothing is.
This is why it is disingenuous for her to complain that Trump is supposedly doing just that.
According to the failed presidential candidate, she “predicted” Trump would do what he is doing, adding that this is the most corrupt president in American history.
Per Politico:
Former Vice President Kamala Harris said the Trump administration’s investigation of Gavin Newsom fit a pattern of the president pursuing his political rivals, reinforcing the California governor’s argument that he’s the target of a vendetta.
“He told us most of what we would know would happen, including that he would go after his political enemies using the Department of Justice,” Harris, a fellow Californian and potential 2028 presidential contender, said during a summit in Austria. “I am not surprised that he may be using the Department of Justice to go after a political enemy in the current governor of California.”

The grieving father of a white teen murdered by a black teen is actually to blame for his death, according to a Howard University professor.
Last week, a Texas jury found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder after he stabbed Austin Metcalf in the heart during a confrontation in April 2025 at a track meet. Anthony argued he acted out of self-defense after Metcalf pushed him during an argument under a tent.
Coming to Anthony’s defense is Professor Stacey Patton, who teaches journalism at Howard University. Patton has previously suggested Charlie Kirk “paid” the “price” for supporting gun rights. She also previously defended riots in Baltimore and suggested racial jokes by comedians can be to blame for the killings of black people.
Patton, in a long post on her Substack page, blamed Jeff Metcalf, the father of the murdered teen, for the death, saying he was a “failure.”

An alleged plot to target the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House over the weekend using explosive-laden drones and snipers was thwarted by the FBI and law enforcement partners in the days leading up to the event, officials have revealed.
FBI Director Kash Patel said his agency and its law enforcement partners first became aware of a potential threat “involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region” against the event on June 10. He said, “thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold.”

Question: How has this mandate made residents better off? When mandating certain insignificant preferences be prioritized when awarding special contracts, the state ought to be held to some accountability. Why does no one care?
By 2022, CPUC had fully implemented the expansion. In practice, this meant establishing a “goal” for utility companies with annual revenues exceeding $25 million to buy things from state-certified LGBT businesses: 0.5 percent of procurement in 2022; 1 percent in 2023; and 1.5 percent in 2024 and beyond. If “large” CPUC-regulated utilities met these “goals” in 2024, they would have sent roughly $633 million to LGBT-owned firms.

Tuesday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said that if Democrats win the majority in the midterms, they will subpoena private-sector people who worked with President Donald Trump in his second term.
Host Jen Psaki asked, “Should the Senate be, should the Democrats be in the majority and decide to investigate or look into Patel? I mean, you are one of the many people who have been targeted by Trump’s Justice Department under Trump’s direction, as we’ve all seen it. One another person, who announced yesterday that he was being targeted is, of course, Governor Gavin Newsom. I know you spoke with some of my colleagues about that last night, but I wonder, as we’re thinking about because we’ve been talking about the Georgia races tonight, we’ve been talking about politics as we think about if Democrats have the majority next year, you’re on the Judiciary Committee. Trump is still going to target his political enemies. He’s not going to stop. He’s going to have people in the Department of Justice that does that. What changes what kind of Senate majority do to kind of hold them to account or even stop that?”
Schiff said, “Well, we’ll of course, to oversight of the administration. But judging from his first term, when we subpoenaed, for example, administration officials in the Russia Ukraine investigations, they basically stonewall the subpoenas. In fact, Trump was impeached in that first impeachment, not just for trying to extort Zelensky to get him to help cheat in the election, but also because he was stonewalling, congressional subpoenas. So I don’t think we can expect a whole lot from the administration, but we can subpoena the private sector and they will need to comply. So all of the crypto deals and meme coin deals, the UFC fight, all the back channeling on the Paramount SkyDance, and Warner Brothers mergers, whether there are promises made of changing editorial content, all of that kind of corruption, potential corruption, we will be able to look into.”

Last week in Frisco, Texas, 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison. No one in the jury believed his claim of self-defense and instead found that Anthony provoked a confrontation with student Austin Metcalf by going into his school’s tent during a track meet, taunting the students there, refusing to leave despite repeated requests, and finally plunging a knife into Austin’s heart after being nudged.
It remains a mystery why exactly Anthony did this, which might explain why so many people even entertained his claim of self-defense. But the facts of the case show that Anthony apparently had no other reason to kill Metcalf than pure malice and aggression.
One could go further and ask why Anthony harbored these violent impulses in the first place. He lived in Frisco, an affluent, family-friendly suburb with good schools. He had two parents at home to take care of him. He played sports and had plenty of friends. He was a month away from graduating and could have done anything. So why throw it away?

Several black commentators rightfully pointed out that Anthony murdered the kid and received what he deserved in court. He was sentenced to 35 years, with the possibility of parole after 17. He has filed an appeal, but there’s a problem: he has no money for a lawyer (via NY Post):

Over the last decade, California became a national leader in voter accessibility and security, expanding options for when and how ballots can be cast while also strengthening election safeguards.
But those reforms came at a cost: speed. And in a political climate where unsupported conspiracies about election fraud can run rampant on social media — pushed, at times, by top political leaders — some fear the slow vote count is becoming a liability.
Election outcomes in recent years have become more drawn out in California, most recently taking about a week to determine the gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral candidates advancing to November’s runoff after hotly contested primaries. And in prior years, it’s taken even longer to determine tight U.S. House or state Senate seats.

A former staffer for leading Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing federal charges for alleged threats and vandalism against University of Michigan employees.
Mariam Muhammed Odeh, along with seven others, has been charged after their alleged conspiracies to threaten university officials, law enforcement and businesses such as the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, according to an indictment released by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The charges come after University of Michigan officials and their homes were targeted by vandalism between October 2023 and April 2025 in an attempt to force the university to cut ties with Israel, The Detroit News reported.
“Their criminal activity included spray-painting threats, breaking windows, and throwing glass jars filled with noxious chemicals into family homes. They marked their victims with threatening symbols used by Hamas, including red inverted triangles and red handprints,” the indictment said.
