FBI intercepted communications of Newsom administration officials, California political players.

The LA Times is reporting verified facts about an FBI wiretap operation. Current and former members of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration were among the dozens of Sacramento insiders who received FBI letters in recent days notifying them that their phone calls, texts or other electronic communications had been intercepted as part of the federal corruption case tied to Dana Williamson and two additional longtime Democratic operatives.

The notifications are routine in wiretap investigations once surveillance ends, but the letters set off a wave of panic across California’s political power structure. Other media sources are going a step further.

The FBI had a mole inside Gov. Gavin Newsom’s political orbit before the agency’s corruption probe expanded into the governor and his wife, The Post has learned.

Democrat insider Alexis Podesta, 45, secretly recorded conversations during the criminal probe into Newsom’s then-chief of staff, Dana Williamson, 53, who pleaded guilty to federal fraud and tax charges in May, according to Williamson’s attorney.

Commentary Crime Gun Control Links from other news sources.

No Virginia, criminals don’t buy their guns legally or follow the law.

More laws that don't work.

No Virginia, criminals don’t buy their guns legally or follow the law.

Folks on the left seem to think that criminals go to gun stores and but their guns legally and follow all the gun laws. They don’t.

Another fallacy is that they are law abiding citizens. There’s a reason they are called criminals. They don’t obey the laws.

According to the ATF,

  • Only 10% are purchased legally from retail outlets, and 2% from gun shows or flea markets.

So why are the Governors wife’s nonprofits being investigated? State employee whistleblowers.

So why are the Governors wife’s nonprofits being investigated? State employee whistleblowers.

Yesterday the Governor of California claimed that Trump took a page out of the Biden DOJ and was going after him and his wife. What he left out was the fact that California state employees from multiple departments came forward.

  • Employees of the California Department of Justice (CA DOJ)
  • Employees inside the California Governor’s Office
  • Employees connected to state‑funded programs that interacted with her nonprofits.
  • Why not go to state agencies?
    • Whistleblowers believed state leadership would not investigate itself.
    • Some feared retaliation if they reported internally.
    • Several said they had already raised concerns inside state agencies and nothing happened.

    This mirrors the pattern seen in other California scandals (EDD fraud, DMV contracting, etc.): state employees warn internally → warnings ignored → feds step in.

    What the whistleblowers provided

    Federal investigators reportedly received:

    • Internal emails
    • Financial documents
    • Communications between state agencies and Siebel Newsom’s nonprofits
    • Testimony about how grants, contracts, or tax‑related filings were handled

    This is why the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Sacramento — not the State of California — is running the investigation.

If at first you don’t succeed you try try again. Another Progressive takes a shot at our President.

Another good shoot.

If at first you don’t succeed you try try again. Another Progressive takes a shot at our President.

Saturday we had another progressive try to shoot his way into the White House and of course the first thing the MSM is saying is this. Oh it wasn’t political another Liberal with mental issues. Always the mental issue card. And the Democrat politicians are saying we need more gun control. Maybe what we need the death penalty for any Liberal who owns a gun.

Blue AG’s and voter fraud.

MI Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel and Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon

Blue AG’s and voter fraud.

For some reason we have these Blue AG’s swearing up and down about how fair their elections are, but they refuse to allow the federal government access to federal election results. Latest is in Michigan. Why?

On April 17, Michigan’s lawless Attorney General, Dana Nessel, responded to Asst. AG Dhillon’s demand, in a letter, in which she arrogantly claimed that the state would not comply with the DOJ’s request, which, according to Harmeet Dhillon, they are entitled to gain access to under several federal statutes, including a specific transparency statute from the 1960 Civil Rights Act.

Commentary Crime January 6 Links from other news sources.

Finally going after a J6 alleged criminal.

J6criminal? Cassidy Hutchinson / screen image January 6 testimony

Finally going after a J6 alleged criminal.

The NY Times is reporting that The Justice Department has assigned its civil rights division to investigate Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide who outraged President Trump four years ago after her testimony before Congress implicated him in the violence that erupted at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to four people familiar with the matter.

If true, it’s about time that the actual criminals of J6 are brought to Justice.

According to the Times, Hutchinson’s testimony was contradicted by several other witnesses who were actually there.

The vehicle in question was the presidential SUV known as “The Beast” — a heavily modified Cadillac used by the Secret Service for the president’s transport. Based on its physical layout, it would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible, for Donald Trump to reach the steering wheel from his seat.

Vehicle configuration and constraints:

The president rides in the rear compartment, separated from the driver by a bulletproof glass partition and reinforced panels.

You can’t read, write, or speak English but you can drive a truck?

So how does that happen? Federal law requires English proficiency for ALL CDL drivers. California has been blamed as the number one hub for illegal commercial driver licensing, with federal regulators blasting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) administration for the practice.

Will we see California and other states stop this practice? Yeah right.

Progressives view Citizens dying at the hands of the undocumented as collateral damage.

Doesn't fit the lefts narrative.

Progressives view Citizens dying at the hands of the undocumented as collateral damage.

Cost of war against democracy. Democrats get upset about folks who are killed breaking the law, but silent when the undocumented kill American citizens. Why?

Democratic politicians are often quiet in these cases because the political incentives, coalition pressures, and narrative risks all push them toward avoiding stories that could strengthen arguments for stricter immigration enforcement.

Commentary Crime Leftist Virtue(!) Weaponization of Government. White Progressive Supremacy

If you’re a rapist or into child porn, Virginia may be the place you want to be.

Virginia, Taxes for all. Happy New Year.

If you’re a rapist or into child porn, Virginia may be the place you want to be.

Looks as if Virginia may become the preferred home for rapists and those who are into child pornography. Just to name a few of the crimes they wish to have lessened. Virginia Democrats have introduced House Bill 863 (HB 863), which seeks to remove mandatory minimum prison sentences for a slew of serious offenses, including rape, manslaughter, child pornography possession and distribution, assault on law enforcement officers, and repeat violent felonies.

Yes this white progressive supremacist Governor is turning the state upside down.

No Virginia. The Insurrectionists don’t represent Minneapolis.

Trash on holiday.

No Virginia. The Insurrectionists don’t represent Minneapolis.

Minneapolis has a population of about 428,579 people. And how many people would you say are rioting? Would you believe less than half of half a percent.

And when you remove the paid protestors and those from out of the area you have only a few hundred. When all’s said and done, the MSM is making it look like we have major riots when we don’t.
