Trump obliterates Gavin Newsom's latest accusation — and produces the receipts:

Newsom claimed that the president neglected to call him at all during the Los Angeles rioting.

The governor responded to a video on social media in which Trump was asked by a reporter when he had last spoken with Newsom.

"A day ago. Called him up to tell him, 'Got to do a better job.' He's doing a bad job. Causing a lot of death and a lot of potential death," Trump replied to the reporter. "If we didn't send out the National Guard, and last night we gave him a little additional help, you would have — Los Angeles would be burning right now."

Newsom claimed that the president had not called at all.

"There was no call. Not even a voicemail. Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn’t even know who he’s talking to," he posted.

The president apparently took umbrage at the accusation and sent evidence to John Roberts of Fox News that he had indeed spoken with Newsom.

"First call was not picked up. Second call, Gavin picked up, we spoke for 16 minutes. I told him to, essentially, 'get his a** in gear,' and stop the Riots, which were out of control," Trump said, according to a social media post from Roberts. "More than anything else, this shows what a liar he is — Said I never called. Here is the evidence."

Roberts posted a screenshot of the phone logs that showed one outgoing call for 2 seconds at 1:22 a.m. on Saturday morning and a second call for 16 minutes a minute later, at 1:23 a.m. The contact person listed at the top read, "Gavin Newsom."

NEW: President Trump Announces New Deal with China and One Major Detail of the Agreement is Raising Eyebrows:

Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had completed a new agreement with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. The first part of the agreement is that the U.S. will receive magnets and “any necessary” rare earth metals from China.

This is critical because China produces roughly 60% of all the world’s rare earth metals and processes nearly 90% of them. If China decided to cut off America from these materials, this could qualify as a nuclear option on their part.

However, China is getting a significant win in the accord as well. Trump revealed that Chinese students will continue to study at American universities even though some have been caught spying on America and smuggling in pathogens.

Trump closed by saying there would be a 55% rate on their goods while American products in China would face a 10% rate.

Trump also announced that he and Xi would work to open up China to American trade, saying it would be “a great win for both countries.”

Trump Lauded for Signing Law to Stop California from Phasing Out Gas-Powered Cars: ‘This Is Not the United States of California’:

WASHINGTON, DC –President Donald Trump has signed legislation to reverse a radical California policy that would phase out the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035.

...We officially rescue the U.S. auto industry from destruction by terminating the California electric vehicle mandate once and for all,” Trump said to applause before signing the legislation.

“They’d pass these crazy rules in California, and…17 states would go by ’em, and the automakers didn’t know what to do, because they’re really building cars for two countries,” Trump added.

“Today, common sense prevailed. We thank President Trump, EPA Administrator Zeldin, and congressional leadership for taking decisive action to end crippling, detached-from-reality rulemakings that would have imposed devastating economic consequences on American businesses and families,” said ATA President and CEO Chris Spear.

"This is not the United States of California. With the stroke of his pen, President Trump is restoring the certainty that the trucking industry needs to deliver for our nation as we continue to reduce our environmental impact,” he added.

API President and CEO Mike Sommers hailed the signing as “a major victory for American consumers, manufacturers and U.S. energy security,” Fox News reported.

“We thank President Trump and Congress for delivering on their promise to put an end to these extreme mandates and ensure every American can choose the vehicle that’s best for them,” he said.

Democrat Senator Alex Padilla was physically restrained and removed for heckling DHS Secretary Kristi Noem while she was giving a briefing on the Los Angeles riots.

Padilla approached the podium in an aggressive manner so he was quickly restrained.

“I have questions for the Secretary because the fact of the matter is half a dozen violent criminals that you’re rotating on your — hands off!” Padilla shouted as he was removed from the room.

Padilla was thrown to the ground FBI agents, handcuffed and detained.

Update: Padilla’s office said the Senator is no longer detained.

BREAKING: House Passes DOGE Cuts to NPR, PBS, and USAID – Four Republicans Vote No:

The House of Representatives passed the $9.4 billion rescissions package on Thursday to cut wasteful discretionary spending on NPR, PBS, and USAID. 

The House advanced the legislation to a final floor vote on Wednesday, The Gateway Pundit reported.

This includes cuts to National Public Radio (NPR), Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). $8.3 billion is set to be cut from the USAID, the far left agency that the Trump Administration has accused of funding foreign programs that do little to advance American interests.

The President ordered NPR and PBS to be defunded last month. The recissions package cuts over $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump signed the “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media” executive order, which directs the CPB Board of Directors to “cease Federal funding for NPR and PBS.”

The House voted 214-212 to pass the spending cuts.

The bill will now head to the Senate.

DEVELOPING: FBI Arrests Driver Who Went Viral for Delivering “Bionic Shield” Face Masks to LA Rioters in Early Morning Sting:

The FBI arrested the man who went viral last week for distributing what appeared to be military-grade “bionic shield” face masks to violent demonstrators in downtown Los Angeles.

“ARRESTED: Alejandro Theodoro Orellana was arrested this morning by FBI Los Angeles on an allegation of Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorders (18 USC 371) for distributing face shields to suspected rioters on Tuesday. We are moving quickly to identify and arrest those involved in organizing and/or supporting civil disorder in Los Angeles,” U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said in a statement.

The suspect has been identified as Alejandro Orellana, an alleged member of the Brown Berets, a radical Chicano nationalist paramilitary organization with ties to far-left revolutionary groups.

The group, long known for its anti-police rhetoric and militant activism, has reportedly embedded operatives in several major U.S. cities.
On June 9, local reporter Elex Michaelson of FOX LA captured the moment protesters swarmed the trucks to grab the gear, noting, “It certainly seems like gear you’d wear if you’re preparing for conflict with police. Who is funding this?”
 
Footage from June 9 showed Alejandro Theodoro Orellana arriving in Downtown L.A. with loads of “Bionic Face Shields” — high-impact gear that some experts say mirrors riot control equipment used by law enforcement and military.

President Trump Speaks on Americans Being Evacuated from Middle East Outposts as Report Says Israel Ready to Attack Iran Nuclear Sites:

President Donald Trump spoke to reporters Wednesday night on worsening conditions in the Middle East regarding Iran’s nuclear program. The U.S. authorized evacuations of dependents and non-essential personnel at several embassies and bases in the Middle East after Iran threatened attacks over the possible breakdown of negotiations with the U.S. over its nuclear program amid warnings by both Israel and the U.S. that Iran will not be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb.

...we’ve given notice to move out. And we’ll see what happens”…”They can’t have a nuclear weapon. Very simple. They can’t have a nuclear weapon. We’re not going to allow that.”

Israel is ready to launch an operation into Iran, according to a report by CBS News.

...A senior diplomat in the region articulated the profound anxiety within diplomatic circles, telling The Washington Post, “We are watching and worried. We think it’s more serious than any other time in the past.”

Riot Inc. Exposed—the Dark Money Billionaires Funding the Left’s ‘Day of Defiance’

A new investigation by Peter Schweizer’s Government Accountability Institute (GAI) has revealed how the upcoming “No Kings” “nationwide day of defiance” protest’s official partners have bagged $114.8 million since 2019 from the Arabella Advisors dark money network and how professional protest organizations use tax dollars as a force multiplier.

The expected worldwide mobilization of protests against President Donald Trump this weekend will hardly be a spontaneous eruption. On the contrary, the tumult is a carefully plotted production organized by The Indivisible Project and financed by the progressive dark money network Arabella Advisors, which has perfected the mounting of made-to-order protests. Since 2019, Arabella has dumped more than $100 million into the coffers of the official “No Kings” protest partners—including the creator of the official protest song book.

This “grassroots” “nationwide day of defiance” targets Trump and his “billionaire allies,” according to organizers. The Arabella network’s biggest benefactors are the left’s own billionaire heroes, including George Soros, Bill Gates, Hansjorg Wyss, Mark Zuckerberg, and Reid Hoffman.

@patrician Bob watched a you tube video today where the guy said he is out of work and was offered $200 a day to go to New York and participate in the protests.  Pallets of bricks will be provided.

@terry 

I believe it.  I tell people that these protestors are paid and they tell me, no they're not.  Clearly, they are being paid, maybe not all, but some of them.

Every Saturday we eat lunch across the street from a Tesla dealership. For 13 weeks there were protests against Elon Musk.  Then Elon left the government so I thought the demonstrators would be gone.  No, now they are protesting about immigration.

Trump: I Gave Iran Leaders Chance to Make a Deal, Now They Are All Dead:

President Donald Trump has urged Iran’s remaining leadership to come to the negotiating table and make a deal because Israel has “the most lethal” American military equipment and more is on the way.

Israel launched what it classified as “pre-emptive, precise, confined [and] defensive” strikes on the Iranian leadership, military equipment, and nuclear facilities overnight into Friday morning. The strikes were followed by a chorus of calls from world leaders for Israel and Iran to find a diplomatic solution, with U.S. President Donald Trump framing the choice for Tehran as being between accepting a peace deal and utter oblivion.

Iranian hardliners had been brave in negotiations but they are “all [dead] now, and it will only get worse”, he said.

President Trump told Iran there was still time to avert even worse destruction and death by coming to the negotiating table and signing a deal. “Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left… 

As earlier reported, senior Iranian military leaders including Major General Hossein Salami, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and nuclear scientists had been eliminated by Israeli strikes.

CIA analyst, who leaked Israeli plans to strike Iran, gets 37 months in prison:

The former CIA analyst Asif Rahman, who admitted in January that he leaked classified information about Israel’s military response to Iran’s missile attacks on Oct. 1, 2024, was sentenced on Wednesday to 37 months in prison, the U.S. Justice Department said.

The 34-year-old had faced up to 10 years in jail for the two counts—illegally retaining and transmitting classified national security information.   

“For months, this defendant betrayed the American people and the oaths he took upon entering his office by leaking some of our nation’s most closely held secrets,” stated John Eisenberg, assistant U.S. attorney general for national security.

“Rahman removed the documents, photographed them and transmitted them to individuals he knew were not entitled to receive them,” it stated. “By Oct. 18, 2024, the documents appeared publicly on multiple social media platforms, complete with the classification markings.”

Rahman had been a CIA employee since 2016 and carried a top-secret security clearance, including access to sensitive compartmented information, which refers to materials about intelligence sources and methods, and the analytical processes used to generate them.

The leak forced Israel to delay a strike, according to federal prosecutors, though Israel took military action on Oct. 26 as part of a back-and-forth series of strikes.

After pleading guilty in January, Rahman reportedly cooperated with authorities. In addition to the three years and a month in prison, he was sentenced to two years of probation and $50,000 in fines.
