California Democratic Convention GRINDS to a HALT: Protesters Stand UP for Palestinians
— The California Democratic Convention in Sacramento came to an unexpected standstill due to the actions of protesters. These individuals were voicing their support for Palestinians, who they argue are suffering from a genocide funded by U.S. taxpayers.
Within the convention center, scheduled speeches were interrupted. Outside the venue, a poignant display of hundreds of children’s shoes served as a grim reminder of young Gazans who lost their lives.
Protesters made their stance clear with Palestinian flags and placards calling for an end to U.S. financial support for what they labeled as “genocide”.
Around 5:40pm, the protest escalated as demonstrators stormed into the convention center. Brandishing flags and beating drums, they echoed chants of “Resistance is justified when people are occupied”, making their way up escalators towards now-deserted voting rooms.
TRUMP’S Court Victory Shocks California: National Guard Power Grab Upheld
— A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that President TRUMP acted within his rights when he took control of the California National Guard during the Los Angeles protests. The court blocked a lower ruling that said Trump’s move was illegal because Governor Gavin Newsom did not approve it. This is the first time since 1965 a president has federalized a state’s Guard without the governor’s OK.
The Ninth Circuit judges said Trump had enough proof to send in troops, pointing to violent attacks on federal officers and property by protesters. The court noted that protesters pinned down officers, threw dangerous objects, and damaged buildings.
The panel clarified that presidents don’t have unlimited power over state Guards, but Newsom could not block Trump’s order — even if he wasn’t notified first as usually required by law.
This decision strengthens presidential power to protect federal interests during violent unrest — even if Democrat-led states like California try to resist.;
CALIFORNIA LOOTERS Face Swift Justice as Crime Wave Shocks the Nation
— California leaders are finally cracking down on looters after months of rising theft and public anger. The state is ditching its soft-on-crime approach, bringing in tougher penalties for those caught stealing. Even in a liberal stronghold, crime can’t be ignored forever.
Federal law enforcement is feeling the strain too. ICE agents were attacked during a raid at a meat plant where 70 illegal immigrants were arrested. This shows just how dangerous it’s become for officers trying to enforce the law. National Guard troops also stepped in to stop anti-ICE protesters in Los Angeles, following orders from former President Trump — sending a clear message that order must be restored.
A U.S. Senator has started an investigation into claims that a Democrat-backed group supported LA rioters, raising serious questions about political ties to violent protests. In Illinois, people are furious over a new bill that could let attacks on police slide during mental health calls — something police and community leaders strongly oppose.
