Minutes after this column was published online, Sen. Ben Allen emailed to say he wanted to speak with me to clarify some aspects of his bill, SB 549. Then he said the bill has now been "paused" for the rest of the year, maybe longer. dailynews.com/2025/07/16/sus…
OUT ❌ The Biden-Buttigieg Green New Deal Agenda that pushed unpopular and expensive zero emission technology on our transit partners. IN ✔️ Giving transit suppliers the flexibility to choose more cost-effective, reliable options! I’m proud to relieve American transit from this…
EXCLUSIVE: President Trump’s Transportation Department is moving away from Biden’s climate justice initiative which made it harder and pricer to build buses. dailysignal.com/2025/07/25/exc…
NEW: After providing James Comey and John Brennan a second-hand hearsay tip weakly supporting their central allegation that Putin helped Trump win the 2016 election, paid informant Oleg Smolenkov suddenly acquired this 6-bdrm, 8,100 sq ft $1 mil estate on 3 acres in Stafford, Va:
Gov. Newsom just warned that the "249, almost 250-year experiment" could be "washed away" if Texas draws new congressional district lines for 2026 and California doesn't. Also said if Democrats don't take back Congress, there may not be an election in 2028. A little over-the-top?
Hello, @LACityClerk. The initiative filed to repeal L.A.'s gross receipts tax falls under Proposition 218. The signature requirement is 5% of the number of votes cast in the city for all candidates for governor in the last general election. Fewer than 50,000 signatures. @HJTA
BREAKING: The California Medical Board just VACATED its disciplinary decision against me. This politically motivated case was never about medical ethics—it was about silencing physicians who dared to speak the truth. I refused to bow. I fought back. And I won.
New: Gov. Gavin Newsom will give an update on his response to Texas’ possible Congressional district redraw today. In Sacramento, six Democratic Texas state lawmakers will join him for the presser at 2pm.
I’m not against reasonable laws when it comes to the ownership of firearms. Roxanne (the Detective Roxanne) and I have a lot of firearms. We also have a lot of ammo. And we have followed all the laws enacted in CA regarding legal firearm & ammo ownership. My issue is with…
Strong gun safety laws save lives — and today’s decision is a slap in the face to the recent progress we've made to protect Californians from the horror of gun violence. Californians voted to require background checks on ammunition. Their voices should matter.
John spent a lot of time discussing how Gov. Newsom is looking for a buyer for the Valero oil refinery in Benicia, CA & this last ditch effort to find a buyer is quite hilarious when it was his policies & regulations that completely ruined California’s oil industry! @KFIAM640
The governor of California does not understand the concept of individual rights. It doesn't matter if Californians voted to require background checks on ammunition. Just like it doesn't matter if they vote to ban criticism of government officials or to allow warrantless searches.

How much do you suppose the people who live in that multi-story building were paid to quietly tolerate a giant Tesla mega-screen completely blocking their windows?
Tesla Diner looks super cool, but imagine being next door and having to deal with the massive screen blocking your windows & balcony.
Former FBI Unit Chief, Electronic Surveillance Technology Section, Sworn Statement “I personally advised Ms. Attkisson at the time that I, and my associates involved, were quite shocked at what we found [in her CBS computer]; and that we felt what was transpiring, and had…
No need to farm this out to a Special Counsel. There’s no conflict or other compelling reason why DOJ can’t handle it in the ordinary way.
For the good of the country, Senator @JohnCornyn and I urge Attorney General Bondi to appoint a special counsel to investigate the extent to which former President Obama, his staff and administration officials manipulated the U.S. national security apparatus for a political…
I wouldn't rule this out as a possibility: city government workers so imbued with the leftist view of "equity" that they hate and resent property owners and feel like making them wait, suffer and pay is some kind of righteous vengeance for colonial/imperialist/capitalist "sin."
The permitting process for people wanting to rebuild their homes after the fires has been such a headache & John realized that one of the issues causing the headache is this grading permit people need to get Fox News reporter Raymond Arroyo spoke to a resident about it @KFIAM640
Gov. Newsom's claim that "more than two-thirds of the state’s electricity is from sources such as solar, wind and geothermal" reminds me of the Steven Wright joke about the 24-hour convenience store that was closed. "I thought you were open 24 hours." "Not in a row." At 10:35:
NEW: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom in an op-ed in @WSJ: Clean Energy Powers California’s Economic Growth “More than two-thirds of the state’s electricity is from sources such as solar, wind and geothermal.”
Democrats falsely smeared so many people as Russian assets in the last nine years, they unknowingly created a whole new political demographic
How did Los Angeles get to the point where the mayor is telling ABC News that the city can't function without its illegal immigrant workforce of nearly 1 million people? (Total population of Los Angeles: 3.8 million.) New column on "sanctuary" laws: dailynews.com/2025/07/23/sus…
The extent to which Obama and top members of his administration interfered in the 2016 and 2020 elections is orders of magnitude worse than anything Russia or China could have ever dreamed to achieve. Unfortunately, the legacy media, who were either duped or complicit in…
Dec 14, 2016: Obama Press Sec Josh Earnest states that President-elect Donald Trump was "obviously aware" that Russia meddled in the election to benefit his campaign: "There's ample evidence that was known long before the election, and even in most cases, long before October…
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong has announced that he is taking the Los Angeles Times public, meaning you will be able to own stock in the company. And then you can have a piece of these financial results. ⬇️
Courageous and excellent reporting.
Yup. This was the first major visual that really kicked off the start of the border crisis visually for the country. The Biden administration later admitted that more than 12,000 of the Haitians were released into the U.S. @CabelloAuden is a fantastic journalist - glad we met!
