THERE IT IS: Cannabis Farm Raided by ICE Donated LOTS of Money to CA Dems Including Gavin Newsom

The President of Glass House Farms, the cannabis farm that federal immigration authorities raided in California on Thursday despite protests, has donated thousands to Democrats in California.

Co-founder, president, and board director Graham Farrar, who self-identifies on social media as residing in Santa Barbara, California, has made numerous political donations to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal political action committee and Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., according to Federal Election Commission records.

According to California public campaign finance records, he also donated $10,000 to California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, and his most recent public political donation was to California Democratic Assemblymember Gregg Hart in July 2023.

Incredible stuff.

While Gavin Newsom pretends to be righteously indignant about these raids, he’s really just mad one of his campaign donors got busted.

Thicko Rep. Jasmine Crockett Claims Democrats Are Never Violent — Then Insists Trump Assassins Were MAGA Supporters

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett has insisted that all political violence is coming from Trump supporters and the MAGA movement.

During an appearance on the Hasan Minjah Podcast, Crockett said that Democrats are never violent.

“Violence doesn’t come from Democrats, just to be clear.”

“Obviously, anyone can be a criminal. But it is MAGA. It is the specifically MAGA faction.”

“I don’t think traditional Republicans are getting engaged in all of this,” she said.

Crockett went on to suggest that the two men who attempted to assassinate President Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign were his supporters.

“VioIence is all coming from MAGA, not the left. Even the 2 who tried kiIIing Trump are Trump supporters.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Says She “Never had a Concern About” Biden’s Mental Acuity, Says She’s Concerned About Trump’s Mental Acuity

Far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) told reporters on Wednesday that she is concerned about Trump’s mental acuity and ability to lead, but she “never had a concern” whatsoever about Biden’s health and mental acuity. 

She also defended Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, for refusing to testify before the Oversight Committee and pleading the Fifth Amendment.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, O’Connor was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee to testify on Joe Biden’s health decline. However, he pleaded the Fifth at his deposition on Wednesday after attempting to stall the deposition.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer responded to the doctor’s refusal to testify, stating, “It’s now clear there was a conspiracy to cover up President Biden’s cognitive decline after Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician and family business associate, refused to answer any questions and chose to hide behind the Fifth Amendment.”

But Jasmine Crockett defended his right to continue hiding the truth about Biden’s condition by pleading the Fifth, saying, “I think that he did what any good lawyer would advise him to do.”

She further attacked President Trump’s mental acuity, stating, “people have concerns about the current occupant in the White House and whether or not he is mentally fit to serve in this moment, in a moment in which he has started random tariff wars, in a moment in which he decided to say that we were being invaded by Venezuelans.”

School board chairman set to resign after ‘please shoot Republicans’ post surfaces

A school board chairman in Northern Kentucky has allegedly submitted his resignation amid revelations that he commented “please shoot Republicans” on social media years ago came to light.

The Erlanger-Elsmere Board of Education was slated to accept the resignation of chairman Jeffrey Miller at a meeting Thursday night, according to the board’s agenda posted online. The district includes eight schools and learning centers in Kenton County, including Lloyd Memorial High School, and has an enrollment of 2,399 students. It’s located about 11 miles south of Cincinnati.

The revelation comes after state Rep. Steve Doan, an Erlanger Republican, received complaints from constituents about Miller’s online comments.

The Enquirer reached out to the school district and Miller for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Doan called for Miller’s resignation

Doan received the complaints this spring while he was working to reopen a track at the district to the public in the evenings. He emailed officials, attended a few school board meetings, and posted about his efforts online.

That’s when he was sent screenshots of some of Miller’s Facebook comments.

One comment was posted to Facebook on Aug. 28, 2018, the day after a mass shooting killed at least three people at a Madden 19 video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, USA TODAY reported at the time.

In response to another commenter, Miller said on Facebook he would be OK with the National Rifle Association if “these psychos were just once the victims of a mass shooting.”

He followed that statement with “WINK WINK: please shoot republicans.”

Doan shared the screenshot with The Enquirer. Miller also made a comment on Facebook at some point that said “f— the police” and added that police are interested in oppressing people instead of serving the public.

Doan said it became clear that Miller is “definitely a loose cannon” so he looked into him further and found that Miller was found guilty of driving under the influence in 2017, after he had been elected to the school board in 2016.

A police officer said in Kentucky court records that Miller was “highly intoxicated” and nearly struck the back of a patrol car. Miller’s license was suspended for 90 days and he was sentenced with a $250 fine and 14 days of conditional jail time.

Meteorologists: National Weather Service Had ‘Extra’ Staff During Texas Floods, Not Impacted by Trump’s Cuts

Meteorologists have argued that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Weather Service (NWS) did their jobs well during the devastating Texas flash floods — and even had “extra” staff on hand for the storm — despite Democrats’ claims that the Trump administration’s cuts to the agencies contributed to the loss of life over the holiday weekend.

Even establishment media outlets like the Associated Press (AP) have reported on the weather community’s pushback on that narrative, while the Democratic National Committee (DNC) sent out memos arguing that the Trump administration “refused to backfill key roles … likely contributing to preventable deaths and worsened devastation.”

The AP cited NWS meteorologist Jason Runyen, who said the agency’s office in New Braunfels, serving Austin, San Antonio, and the surrounding areas, had more people on duty than normal just before the flash floods occurred before sunrise on Friday.

“There were extra people in here that night, and that’s typical in every weather service office — you staff up for an event and bring people in on overtime and hold people over,” Runyen said, explaining that the office had up to five people on staff, when they would typically have two.

Not only did the NWS issue “a series of flash flood warnings in the early hours Friday before issuing flash flood emergencies — a rare alert notifying of imminent danger,” according to the AP’s Sean Murphy and Jim Vertuno, but they also put out the initial flood watch at 1:18 p.m. the day before. 

The notices “grew increasingly ominous in the early morning hours of Friday,” culminating in a 4:03 a.m. warning for “the potential of catastrophic damage and a severe threat to human life,” the AP added.

Stacey Abrams is Latest Democrat to Push Conspiracy Theories About Trump and Future Elections

For years now, Democrats have accused Republicans of being ‘election deniers’ but ever since Trump was reelected, people on the left seem to be competing to see who can come up with the most outlandish conspiracy theory about Trump and elections.

Rosie O’Donnell has accused Elon Musk of stealing the 2024 election for Trump. James Carville recently got an earful from Bill O’Reilly for claiming Trump will rig the midterms, and now failed Georgia governor candidate Stacey Abrams is getting in on the act.

While appearing on the Jimmy Kimmel show with guest host Anthony Anderson, Abrams went through a list of things that supposedly lead to an autocracy. Leaving aside the fact that most of the things she lists are things that her party has already done, her final point is that Trump will ultimately cancel all future elections.

Anderson just sits there and allows her to spew this nonsense with no pushback whatsoever, of course.

Partial transcript via NewsBusters:

She also alleged, “You criticize the media, and you create your own echo chamber of propaganda. You call it truth even though you know you’re lying.”

Continuing with her theme that she is democracy personified, Abrams went to bat for DEI, “Then you go to the next step, and I call that step seven. It’s at step seven you have to blame someone. You have to blame someone for the broken government, for the broken promises. So, you go after DEI. You go after the vulnerable, the disposed, you go after any community that didn’t look like what you think power should be.”

Furhter on, Abrams again acted like history began yesterday, “You get to step nine and you start to encourage and incentivize private violence. You send the U.S. Marines into spaces they should not be. You send the National Guard in. You kidnap people off of the streets and pretend that’s normal, because that’s how you quiet dissent, because you make everyone afraid that if they don’t do what you want, they might be next.”

Finally, she brought things full circle, “And once you’ve done those nine steps, step ten is easy. That’s when you decide there won’t be new elections because everyone is either afraid, poor, broken, or complicit.”

Horrific: Liberal Ghouls Compete to Mock Children Lost in the Texas Flood

Social media is full of human wreckage laughingly suggesting the tragedy was “God’s will.” One tool suggested the flood led Project 2025’s “first victims.”

The worst reprobate (so far) has to be Sade Perkins, who was appointed by former Democratic Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner to head up the city’s Food Insecurity Board. Perkins launched into a tirade against the girls who were killed in the flood with palpable glee.

“I know I’m going to get cancelled for this, but Camp Mystic is a white-only girls’ Christian camp. They don’t even have a token Asian. They don’t have a token Black person. It’s an all-white, white-only conservative Christian camp,” Sade Perkins bellowed in a TikTok video.

“If you ain’t white you ain’t right, you ain’t gettin’ in, you ain’t goin’. Period,” Perkins continued, despite the photos I posted from the camp showing minority girls.

Just when you’d suspect Perkins — who is now unemployed because of her multi-pronged hate-filled messages — had had enough fun mocking the dead white Christian girls, she released this pile of racist feculence:

I get that white people are not used to people telling them and calling them out on their racism and telling them about their double standards and how you wouldn’t give a damn about other children and how there’s children in ICE detention right now who y’all don’t give two f–ks about. There’s no prayers going up for them, but we’re supposed to stop the world and stop everything we’re doing to go and hunt for these little missing white girls.

Politico Deeply Disappointed That Democrats Are ‘Retreating’ on Climate Change – Especially in California

The liberal outlet Politico is deeply disappointed that Democrats seem to be ‘retreating’ on the issue of climate change, especially in deep blue California.

This completely ignores the fact that over the last six months, we have seen leftists set electric vehicles and dealerships on fire, not to mention the car fires in the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. Politico realizes that people saw these things happen, don’t they?

How can anyone take the left seriously on their pet issue of climate change ever again? Their concerns obviously go right out the window the moment they want to start burning cars to make a political point.

From Politico:

Democrats retreat on climate: ‘It’s one of the more disappointing turnabouts’

SACRAMENTO, California — Donald Trump is coming for California’s signature climate policies — and so is California.

Stung by the party’s sweeping losses in November and desperate to win back working-class voters, the Democratic Party is in retreat on climate change. Nowhere is that retrenchment more jarring than in the nation’s most populous state, a longtime bastion of progressive politics on the environment.

In the past two weeks alone, California Democrats have retrenched on environmental reviews for construction projects, a cap on oil industry profits and clean fuel mandates. Elected officials are warning that ambitious laws and mandates are driving up the state’s onerous cost of living, echoing longstanding Republican arguments and frustrating some allies who say Democrats are capitulating to political pressure.

“California was the vocal climate leader during the first Trump administration,” said Chris Chavez, deputy policy director for the Coalition for Clean Air. “It’s questionable whether or not that leadership is still there.”

House Democrats Admit Their Radical Base Is Calling for Bloodshed at ICE Facilities to Stop Trump — Urging Lawmakers to Abandon Law and Order, Embrace Political Violence

Radical activists at multiple Democrat town halls told House members that mere hearings and lawsuits are “not good enough” and that Democrats must “be willing to get shot” at ICE facilities to make headlines.

According to Axios, “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when confronting ICE personnel — a shocking admission by House Democrats who say their base’s anger is reaching dangerous levels.

The news outlet reported:

“This idea that we’re going to save every norm and that we’re not going to play [Republicans’] game … I don’t think that’s resonating with voters anymore,” said one House Democrat.

Another told Axios that a “sense of fear and despair and anger” among voters “puts us in a different position where … we can’t keep following norms of decorum.”

[…]

“We’ve got people who are desperately wanting us to do something … no matter what we say, they want [more],” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), the chair of the center-left New Democrat Coalition, told Axios.

[…]

The grassroots wants more. “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.

“Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” the lawmaker said.

A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them “civility isn’t working” and to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”

A fifth House Democrat told Axios that “people online have sent me crazy s*** … told me to storm the White House and stuff like that,” though they added that “there’s always people on the internet saying crazy stuff.”

Hours later, a man was shot and killed Monday morning after he ambushed Border Patrol agents, armed with a rifle and tactical gear, outside of a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas.

This comes after a Texas police officer was shot and wounded in the neck late Friday night in an apparent ambush attack by an armed group outside the ICE Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, located just south of Dallas-Fort Worth.

Despicable Dems Campaign On Texas Flood Victims, Blame Trump

The worst of times has often brought out the best in Americans. But not always. 

As the death toll in the Independence Day Weekend’s Texas Hill Country floods topped 100 people on Monday, Democrats played politics with devastation. The flailing party, which seems to be campaigning exclusively on hatred for President Donald Trump and a slogan of “But People Will Die …!” is blaming the Trump administration for the freak, fast-moving floods that have ravaged the flood-prone region of Central Texas. They insist — falsely — that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)-driven cuts to the federal government’s bloated workforce prevented the National Weather Service from effectively warning residents of the rapidly rising waters. 

“I’m personally praying that Donald Trump finally understands this is not a game — it’s real life and there are serious consequences to playing politics with our security and emergency preparedness,” Ken Martin, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said in a statement. 

Looking to score political points on the bodies of victims, Democrats called for investigations to determine whether reports of staffing shortages at NWS offices in Texas exacerbated the catastrophe. Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Democrat who represents San Antonio, was quick to cast suspicion on the Trump administration while acknowledging he didn’t have all the facts. 

“I don’t want to sit here and say conclusively that that was the case, but I do think that it should be investigated,” Castro said on CNN’s State of the Union, whose Trump-hating host Dana Bash was more than glad to join fellow corporate media reporters in pushing the Democrats’ “It’s Trump’s fault” narrative.
