“Anti-White” Attack by Mob at Maui Resort Leaves Six with Serious Injuries

A California family’s Hawaiian getaway turned to horror when its members were targeted as “haole boys” and viciously beaten by a mob at a luxury Maui resort, leaving one with a huge head wound.

The violent brawl broke out around 10 p.m. on July 17 at the Kaanapali Alii resort in West Maui, where local officers responded to a disturbance involving roughly 30 people near the property’s pool.

Seven visitors from California, ranging in age from 17 to 62, told police they were assaulted after a group of young people allegedly threw chairs and attacked members of their family.

At least six victims suffered injuries serious enough to require medical treatment. . .

The family, who has not been named, believes they were singled out because they are white and is urging investigators to pursue the case as a hate crime. (Read more from “Anti-White” Attack by Mob at Maui Resort Leaves Six with Serious Injuries” HERE)

Hostage Crisis Allegedly Involving Father And Son Holding Two Federal Employees At Gunpoint Ends After Hourslong Standoff

Two U.S. Forest Service employees were held hostage for hours throughout Thursday night in a Northern California national forest.

The federal employees were freed early Friday after being zip-tied and held at gunpoint for roughly 15 hours inside a trailer in Northern California’s Shasta-Trinity National Forest, The New York Times reported, citing Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue. The hostage situation unfolded at a campground near Gumboot Lake in the forest. Authorities arrested the suspects, Joseph Charles Henrichsen, 49, and his 23-year-old son, Phoenix Henrichsen, after the employees were released unharmed, the outlet reported.

“Both are resting and will need some time to process this experience,” said Brian Tosh, the F.B.I.’s acting special agent in Sacramento, according to the outlet.

The motive of the hostage situation remains unclear, and law enforcement is still investigating the situation, the outlet reported, citing Tosh.

“I am proud of the immediate and professional work of these elite FBI teams to assist our partners for a safe and successful resolution,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a post to X.

Extremely Rare Cancer Striking Kids in Rich Calif. City Takes Worrying Turn — as Possible Cause Emerges

Families in a rich California enclave have claimed an extremely rare cancer has struck more people than first feared and that its root cause could be due to the rampant use of pesticides.

Locals in Ladera Ranch, Orange County, have spent months raising concerns after at least six local children were diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a bone and soft tissue cancer that affects only about 200 to 240 children nationwide each year.

Now, residents say their own investigation has uncovered what they believe is an unusually heavy use of pesticides and herbicides throughout the community and that more than 60 people could be impacted.

Researchers have previously explored possible associations between pesticide exposure and certain childhood cancers, including Ewing sarcoma, but no direct causal relationship has been confirmed. Still, residents say the volume of chemicals being sprayed throughout the community has become impossible to ignore.

“This issue has been looked into by several different groups of residents in Ladera Ranch going back to 2016,” attorney and resident Jackie French told The California Post. “They have all been pretty much stonewalled … and many of them ended up moving away, so the movement kind of dies out each time.” . . .

“In this one Facebook group — and we only have about 25,000 people in our city and only a couple thousand in that group — she got 62 responses,” French said. “Some people were saying there are three people with brain cancer just on their street.” (Read more from “Extremely Rare Cancer Striking Kids in Rich Calif.

California Plummets in Rankings of Worst States to Move To — as a Surprising State Takes The Lead

Those looking to relocate to the Golden State to seek their fame and/or fortune may want to reconsider, since a new report has California ranked as one of the worst states to move to.

ConsumerAffairs has released its annual report of the best and worst US states to settle in, with California ranking third to last in the nation.

The Golden State ranked 48th out of 50 states, remaining in the same place as it was on last year’s list, with just Louisiana and New Mexico ranked behind in 49th and 50th, respectively.

The report also comes just days after a separate analysis by WalletHub revealing that California is home to six of the least-educated cities in the entire country.

The ConsumerAffairs Research Team compiled its rankings by analyzing data on each state’s affordability, safety, economic strength, healthcare and education, and quality of life.

California ranks dead last at 50th in affordability, 49th in safety behind New Mexico, and 41st in economic strength. It placed much higher in the last two metrics, at 23rd in healthcare and education, and 14th in quality of life, which likely helped the state avoid the so-called cellar.

Mother of Trans Athlete Claims Her Child Was Made ‘Invisible’ After Being Forced to Share Awards Stage with Females

The mother of transgender California track athlete AB Hernandez seems to believe that the winner’s podium at a female track event is no place for females.

In a speech at the San Francisco Pride Summit on Thursday, Nereyda Hernandez took strong exception to the recent California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) decision to give first-place honors to the female athletes who finished behind her son.
Hernandez says the new rule has rendered her son “invisible.”

“Of course I’m going to be upset,” Hernandez said. “AB put in all the work, all the hours after school, and she got put aside. It was heartbreaking. I knew it hurt her, because she’s physically there, but she’s kind of invisible.”

The CIF instituted the new rule as a way of, at least attempting to quell the controversy surrounding the state’s decision to allow boys to compete in girls’ sports.

California Legislature Seeks to Let Kids Divorce Their Parents

In the left’s ongoing crusade to separate vulnerable children from the influence of their parents, Democrats in the Failed State of California are pushing a bill that would allow minor children to divorce their parents.

As you read this, keep in mind that this has nothing to do with protecting children. Quite the opposite, in fact. This is all about removing children from the protection of their families so they can be corrupted and exploited.

“The bill [AB 1967] allows any minor residing in any residential facility to file a legal application against their parents, without cause or evidence of harm,” reports the Post Millennial. “Residential facilities include drug rehabilitation programs, boarding schools, wilderness therapy programs, faith-based residential programs, and runaway shelters.”

You think that sounds bad? Here’s the devil in those details…

“The child can petition the court to strip the parents of custodial authority and substitute county child welfare control or foster placement,” the report adds. “The application need not be corroborated by any adult and need not be served on the parents. The child’s statement alone is sufficient to trigger a mandatory assessment of the parents’ home. This assessment can occur without the parents’ knowledge.” (Read more from “California Legislature Seeks to Let Kids Divorce Their Parents” HERE)

Huge B-52 Stratofortress Explodes in Fireball at California Air Force Base

An $85 million nuclear-capable B-52 Stratofortress has crashed in a huge explosion at California’s Edwards Air Force Base.

A massive cloud of black smoke appeared in the skies above Kern County after the enormous military jet smashed into the ground shortly after takeoff.

Other images showed the smoldering remains of the aircraft with a massive black shadow across the site where it made impact.

The base posted on X just after noon: “A United States Air Force B-52 Stratofortress crashed shortly after takeoff on the Edwards airfield at 11:20 a.m.

“Emergency crews immediately responded to the scene and the situation is ongoing. More information will be provided as it becomes available.”

In an update, it added: “The airfield has been closed, and all inbound aircraft are being diverted. All non-commercial visitor passes have been suspended until further notice to allow the installation to focus entirely on emergency response operations.” It’s currently unclear if anyone was injured in the crash.

California Cult ‘Prophet’ Learns Fate for Vile Sex Crimes — and the Loophole that Could Set Him Free Early

A Northern California cult “prophet” has been sentenced to life behind bars for molesting four young girls and raping two of his female adult followers, but a loophole in state law could set him go free much earlier.

The Oroville cult leader Sansue Bee Vang was sentenced to 225 years to life after being found guilty of eight counts of child molestation and three counts of rape, according to the Butte County District Attorney’s office. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender.

Vang is the founder and leader of the Hmong religious organization called Kev Ntseeg Leej Niam Kee Tiam Vaj Lis Thum, which loosely translated means “Belief in Mother.”

In 2020 he built his temple and community in the town at the base of North Table Mountain, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas.

The cult leader, with connections to Wisconsin and Fresno, recruited families from both locations along with North Carolina and Minnesota to establish his religious community.

The DA shared horrific details at trial about what Vang did to his female followers, young and old. (Read more from “California Cult ‘Prophet’ Learns Fate for Vile Sex Crimes — and the Loophole that Could Set Him Free Early” HERE)

Tragic New Detail Emerges in Death of 5-year-old Swept out to Sea by Massive Wave

The 5-year-old San Bernardino girl who was swept out to sea by a massive wave in Laguna Beach this week was set to start kindergarten later this summer, school officials said.

Amada Mia Brown, who died after being caught in the powerful surf battering California’s coast Tuesday night, was scheduled to begin kindergarten in the San Bernardino City Unified School District in August, Communications Manager Maria Garcia told The California Post.

“We mourn Amada’s loss and hold her family in our thoughts during this difficult time,” Garcia said.

Amada was also set to attend a new student orientation next month, Garcia added.

The young girl vanished Tuesday evening after powerful waves pulled her, her mother and her brother into the ocean near the shoreline at Treasure Island Beach.

Heroic bystanders who took to the rough water managed to rescue Amada’s mother and brother, but Amada was carried out to sea. (Read more from “Tragic New Detail Emerges in Death of 5-year-old Swept out to Sea by Massive Wave” HERE)

Under-the-Radar Supreme Court Case Could End California’s Delayed Election Counts for Good

A pending case at the US Supreme Court could put an end to delayed ballot counts — like in the recent Los Angeles mayor’s race in California — that have caused voters to lose confidence in elections, according to Republicans.

The high court in March heard oral arguments in Watson v. Republican National Committee, a Mississippi case that may result in a ruling stopping the practice of counting mail-in ballots that arrive up to five days after an election date.

It’s one of at least 14 states, along with California, New York and Texas, as well as the District of Columbia, with laws that allow for late ballots so long as envelopes are postmarked by Election Day. Around 30 states have some sort of grace period for absentee ballots as well, letting military or US citizens abroad cast their votes.

That grace period for mail ballots, which the RNC has argued is unconstitutional, is one of the reasons that Los Angeles residents still don’t know, nearly a week after, whether candidates Spencer Pratt or Nithya Raman will advance to a runoff contest in November against incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

“What’s happening in California is a Democrat failure on full display,” RNC Chairman Joe Gruters told The Post. “Nearly a week after the primary, it is completely unacceptable ballots are still being counted. That’s why the RNC is aggressively fighting in the Supreme Court to stop ballots received after Election Day from being counted. Americans deserve timely election results they can trust.” (Read more from “Under-the-Radar Supreme Court Case Could End California’s Delayed Election Counts for Good” HERE)
