Trump Expands Child Care Funding Freeze Beyond Minnesota

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration is widening a federal freeze on child care funding beyond Minnesota as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ramps up a nationwide review aimed at rooting out fraud.

Deputy HHS Secretary Jim O’Neill announced Tuesday that the agency froze all federal child care payments to Minnesota as officials investigate allegations of widespread fraud in the state’s subsidy system. The funding freeze will extend to other states as federal officials review how taxpayer dollars are used, according to multiple reports.

“HHS has a clear duty to verify the proper use of taxpayer funds,” spokesman Andrew Nixon said in a statement, as reported by the New York Post. “The documentation process exists to rule out fraud and confirm that funds are supporting legitimate child care providers.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pushed back after the Trump administration moved to freeze federal child care funding in the state, accusing the White House of using fraud concerns to justify the action.

“This is Trump’s long game. We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue – but this has been his plan all along. He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans,” Walz wrote.

President Donald Trump said that investigators expect to uncover large-scale abuse elsewhere, including in California. (Read more from “Trump Expands Child Care Funding Freeze Beyond Minnesota” HERE)

High School Hosted Adult Livestream With Foot-Licking, Drag Queens And A Mock Crucifixion

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A top San Diego high school rented out its gymnasium to a production company that filmed a 24-hour livestream presented by an adult content site called Fansly.

Fansly, described as a subscription-based platform where creators share exclusive content with fans, is a competitor to OnlyFans and allows creators to post content that is described as being “from mild to spicy.” The 24-hour video, uploaded on Friday to Twitch by internet personality Paymoney Wubby, was labeled “24 HOUR TAG PRESENTED BY Fansly,” showing four men playing a tag-style game while participating in game show activities, eating segments and other small tasks.

Reports about the video first broke Sunday evening from Restore San Diego Chairwoman Amy Reichert, who confirmed the filming location was Canyon Crest Academy’s (CCA) gym.

CCA, ranked as the number one high school in San Diego, confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation that the CCA Foundation (CCAF) approved a production company’s use of its gym Friday for filming. In a statement provided to the DCNF, the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) said it learned about the incident on Sunday and understands that the production company filmed “a game show with highly inappropriate content.”

“We understand that the production company filmed a game show with highly inappropriate content that appears to have violated the terms of the agreement between CCAF and the production company, as well as the District’s community standards and policies,” the SDUHSD stated.

Bombshell Federal Audit: Gavin Newsom’s California Illegally Issued 17K Driver’s Licenses to Dangerous Foreign Truck Drivers

/0 Comments/in , /by

A bombshell audit from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy reveals that California, under the direction of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), illegally issued thousands of Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) to dangerous foreign truck drivers. Duffy said the CDLs are now being revoked.

This week, Duffy’s Department of Transportation (DOT) announced that the California Department of Motor Vehicles admitted to illegally issuing 17,000 CDLs to foreign truck drivers, who DOT officials said are dangerous and unqualified to drive semi-trucks.

“After weeks of claiming they did nothing wrong, Gavin Newsom and California have been caught red-handed,” Duffy said in a statement:

Now that we’ve exposed their lies, 17,000 illegally issued trucking licenses are being revoked. This is just the tip of the iceberg. My team will continue to force California to prove they have removed every illegal immigrant from behind the wheel of semitrucks and school buses.

Duffy said that the 17,000 foreign truck drivers who were issued CDLs by California have now been notified that their licenses do not meet federal requirements and will expire in 60 days.

California Passes New Map To Gerrymander GOP Out Of State

/0 Comments/in , /by

Californians voted to pass Proposition 50, the controversial ballot initiative that will allow Democrats in the Golden State to bypass the state’s redistricting committee and gerrymander the state further in Democrats’ favor.

The ballot initiative passed, according to multiple projections, with two-thirds of Californians supporting the measure with nearly half of votes reported.

Proposition 50 allows Democrats to use a new congressional map for 2026 through 2030 that was designed to offset likely Republican pickups that will result after Texas redrew its congressional maps in order to comply with a recent Department of Justice finding. Notably, Californians rejected similar efforts to repeal the independent redistricting commission in recent years, but Democrats (with the support of Gov. Gavin Newsom) passed a new congressional map (Proposition 50) anyway, because, you know, “democracy.”

The push by California Democrats to gerrymander their state came after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called a special legislative session to address the redrawing of congressional districts after the DOJ found that four districts were unlawfully gerrymandered on racial grounds.

As the Federalist previously reported, the DOJ contended that Texas’ congressional maps violated the Voting Rights Act and the 14th Amendment. The DOJ pointed to the recent Petteway v. Galveston County ruling from the 5th Circuit, which held that the Voting Rights Act (VRA) does not require minority-coalition districts. Minority-coalition seats are voting districts where multiple racial or ethnic minorities are grouped together to form a majority of the population. The DOJ argued the four districts in question were originally drawn to create minority-coalition seats (or were the result of coalition districts nearby) and therefore must be redrawn.

Chinese National, Doctoral Student, Confesses to Drugging and Raping Women, Taking Horrifying Photos: Cops

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Chinese national earning his Ph.D at a prestigious California University allegedly confessed to the sickening crimes of drugging, tying up and sexually assaulting three women before taking horrifying photos of them in “sexually explicit” positions, prosecutors said.

Sizhe Wang, 30, was a doctoral student studying electrical engineering at the University of Southern California when he drugged his victims by slipping powder in their food and drinks between 2021 and 2024, according to a prosecutor’s motion cited by the L.A. Times.

Wang tied the unconscious women up with leather straps and continued to drug them with syringes and tubing in their anuses before raping or sexually assaulting them, the motion states.

During the nightmarish attacks, he posed his nude victims in sexual positions and took Polaroids and digital images of them, according to the motion.

Weng allegedly described the three assaults “at length and in detail” to Los Angeles Police Department detectives after his arrest on Aug. 28, according to the Sept. 2 motion by L.A. County Deputy District Attorney Catherine Mariano. (Read more from “Chinese National, Doctoral Student, Confesses to Drugging and Raping Women, Taking Horrifying Photos: Cops” HERE)

Illegal Alien Truck Driver Accused in Deadly 8-Car Pileup Identified as Indian National Released by Biden Administration

/0 Comments/in , /by

The semi-truck driver allegedly responsible for a horrific eight-car collision that left three people dead and several others injured in Ontario, California, has been identified as 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh, an illegal alien from India, according to officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported on X that, according to multiple ICE sources, Singh was “caught and released” by border authorities after entering the U.S. illegally at the California border in March 2022 under the Biden administration’s immigration policies.

Melugin stated that ICE had placed a detainer request with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, where Singh is currently in custody. He is being held on suspicion of DUI causing great bodily injury and gross vehicular manslaughter, though formal charges have not yet been filed.

“Police say Singh was speeding and under the influence, never hitting his brakes, when he crashed into slow-moving traffic on the freeway,” Melugin wrote.

The devastating accident occurred on the 10 Freeway and involved four semi-trucks, two pickup trucks, and two passenger vehicles, according to NBC Los Angeles. Authorities confirmed that three people were killed and four others injured when Singh’s red truck slammed into traffic at full speed.

One witness described the moment of impact as resembling “a big explosion.”

“It didn’t stop,” said witness Jason Calmelat, recalling how the truck “didn’t make any kind of maneuvers” before striking the vehicles ahead.

ICE confirmed it has lodged an immigration detainer against Singh, requesting custody once local legal proceedings conclude.

California Woman Charged After Allegedly Casting Ballots in Her Dog’s Name — Twice

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a bizarre case that’s raising fresh concerns about election integrity, a 62-year-old California woman has been criminally charged after allegedly registering her dog to vote and casting ballots under the pet’s name in two separate elections.

Laura Lee Yourex, of Orange County, is accused of using her deceased dog, Maya Jean Yourex, to fraudulently participate in California’s 2021 gubernatorial recall election and the 2022 primary election. According to the Los Angeles Times, only the 2021 ballot was accepted. The dog had reportedly passed away before the 2022 election, yet Yourex continued to flaunt the fraud online.

In October 2022, she shared a photo on social media showing Maya’s dog tag alongside a mail-in ballot, with the caption: “Maya is still getting her ballot.” The post, viewed by investigators, helped uncover the scheme.

The case came to light after Yourex herself reportedly contacted the Orange County Registrar of Voters to admit she had registered and voted on behalf of her dog. That prompted a referral to the district attorney’s office.

She now faces up to six years in jail after being charged with:

One count of registering a nonexistent person to vote
One count of perjury
One count of procuring a false or forged document to be filed
Two counts of casting a ballot when not entitled to vote

While the case may seem unusual — even humorous — it underscores significant concerns about election safeguards in California.

Critics argue that the fact a dog was able to be registered and cast a ballot points to glaring weaknesses in the state’s voter verification system.

California does not require proof of residence to vote in state elections, unlike federal elections, which is why Maya’s 2022 primary ballot was ultimately rejected.

Voter ID laws, proof of citizenship requirements, and in-person voting protocols are often cited as additional tools that could help prevent such incidents.

California was not alone in being scrutinized. According to The Los Angeles Times, more than two dozen other states received similar inquiries from the federal government regarding election integrity and registration procedures.

Ninth Circuit Strikes Down California’s ‘One-Gun-Per-Month’ Law

/11 Comments/in , /by

The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has officially overturned California’s “one-gun-a-month” restriction, issuing a mandate Thursday that makes the court’s earlier ruling enforceable.

The case, Nguyen v. Bonta, was brought by the Second Amendment Foundation, the Firearms Policy Coalition, San Diego County Gun Owners PAC, two federally licensed firearms dealers, and six private citizens, including Michelle Nguyen.

Under the overturned law, most California residents were prohibited from purchasing more than one handgun or semi-automatic centerfire rifle from a licensed dealer within any 30-day period. Supporters of the challenge argued the measure unfairly restricted law-abiding citizens’ rights under the Second Amendment.

The August 14 mandate follows a June 20, 2025, decision by a three-judge Ninth Circuit panel that affirmed a lower court ruling against the restriction. Writing for the majority, Judge Danielle Forrest stated:

“California’s law is facially unconstitutional because possession of multiple firearms and the ability to acquire firearms through purchase without meaningful constraints are protected by the Second Amendment and California’s law is not supported by our nation’s tradition of firearms regulation.”

The decision marks the first time the Ninth Circuit has issued a final judgment striking down a law under the Second Amendment, according to the Firearms Policy Coalition.

With the mandate now in effect, California’s one-gun-per-month purchasing limit is no longer enforceable.

Haunting Words 14-Year-Old Son Said as He Hallucinated, Walked off 120-Foot Cliff in Front of Terrified Father

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A 14-year-old California boy walked off a 120-foot cliff in front of his horrified father — telling him he saw “snowmen and Kermit the frog” while hallucinating from altitude sickness.

Zane Wach is now in a medically induced coma from the fall on Mount Whitney in the Sierra Nevada mountain range on June 10 that left him with severe head trauma, as well as a broken ankle, finger and pelvis, according to SFGate.

The frightening events unfolded as the pair made their way down the mountain, but dad Ryan Wach initially had no doubts about his son’s ability to handle the hike.

“He’s in better shape than I am,” Wach told the outlet, adding that his son had hiking experience and was an active teen who competed in distance running, swimming and triathlons.

“The idea was that this would be kind of like his introduction to mountaineering.”

However, as the father and son were on the journey up the mountain, Zane slowly started exhibiting symptoms of altitude sickness, his father said. (Read more from “Haunting Words 14-Year-Old Son Said as He Hallucinated, Walked off 120-Foot Cliff in Front of Terrified Father” HERE)

California Launches Investigation of Insurance Company for Abusing Fire Victims

/0 Comments/in , /by

California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara launched an official investigation into State Farm for abusive practices against policyholders in the wake of the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire in January.

As Breitbart News has reported, State Farm dropped many of its customers in fire-prone zones in the months — even days — before the fires, acting partly in response to California’s refusal, at the time, to let insurance companies raise premiums in response to growing future risks.

Yet many policyholders who were lucky enough to retain their policies found that State Farm was indifferent at best and abusive at worst when it came to fulfilling its obligations to help them rebuild.

Policyholders whose homes burnt down completely complained of being forced to itemize every single lost possession to receive 100% of their coverage for destroyed property. Many also received lowball offers of compensation from the company, apparently designed to encourage cash-strapped residents to settle for less than they were entitled to receive. And State Farm became notorious for reassigning insurance adjusters, meaning that policyholders often had to work with three or four, starting over with each new adjuster assigned to them.

Critics said that State Farm was trying to spread its losses out over multiple quarters. Local resident Joy Chen of Altadena, who organized protests against the company, alleged that adjusters’ initial estimates of damage were being revised downward by the company’s head office as part of a deliberate strategy.
