Calif. taxpayers funding multi-city, int’l security detail for Harris’ book tour

Unbeknownst to many Golden State residents, California taxpayers are reportedly covering the costs of a multi-city and international security detail for former Vice President Kamala Harris as she promotes her memoir, “107 Days.”

Since September 2025 — following the revocation of her extended federal Secret Service protection — dozens of California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers have accompanied Harris on nationwide tour stops and international travel, including visits to London and Toronto, with expenses like travel, overtime, and logistics funded by California taxpayers.

This arrangement, coordinated with input from Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D-Calif.) office and local authorities, has since drawn scrutiny amid the state’s budget challenges and questions about precedent for providing such extensive state resources to a private citizen during a commercial book tour.

In late August 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive memorandum revoking the Secret Service protection for Harris. While standard law provides six months of protection, which ended in July 2025, former President Joe Biden had extended her detail via executive order.

Trump rescinded this extension effective September 1, 2025. However, following the federal withdrawal, Newsom and Los Angeles Democrat Mayor Karen Bass coordinated to provide security through the CHP and the LAPD.

Since these are state and local officers, the costs for salaries, travel, and overtime are being underwritten by California taxpayers.

Meanwhile, the discovery has since sparked a heated debate over the use of state resources for a private citizen’s “commercial venture” during a period of significant state budget deficits.

SHOTS FIRED: Newsom Throws Shade at Kamala Harris Over Her Relationship with Married San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown

California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom is already gearing up for 2028 because he took a swipe at Kamala Harris over her relationship with Willie Brown.

Never forget that Kamala Harris launched her political career in the bedroom as married Mayor Willie Brown’s mistress.

Kamala Harris is best known for being former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown’s much younger sidepiece.

Mayor Willie Brown admitted in 2020 to an extramarital affair with Kamala Harris.

Brown also admitted to giving Harris her first official state job.

A December 1995 clip from ABC shows Kamala Harris with Willie Brown.

“Excuse me, are you his daughter?” a woman ask Kamal Harris.

Harris looks stunned: “No, I’m not.”

Newsom threw shade at Kamala Harris during a stop in Atlanta this weekend during his book tour.

Gavin Newsom was elected San Francisco Mayor after Willie Brown served out his term.

Newsom zinged Kamala Harris as he recalled the good old days of San Francisco politics and Willie Brown.

“And for those who don’t know Willie Brown, you wouldn’t know Kamala Harris without Willie Brown,” Newsom said.

That Was Fast: In Less Than a Day, Kamala Harris Reverses Name of X Account After Widepread Mockery

In an attempt to appear “hip’ with younger generations by co-opting some of their lingo, on Thursday, the 2024 presidential election loser, Kamala Harris, rolled out a new name for her X account. The account was initially used during her failed campaign but was rebranded as headquarters67.

The next day, Harris, however, after being universally mocked, changed the name yet again.

With headquarters’67, Harris was trying to show how ‘cool’ and ‘hip’ she is by co-opting a Gen Alpha meme using ’67.’

The New York Post noted, “Alpha brainrot slang ’67’ that kids sometimes facetiously used when asked a question they’re too lazy to answer properly.

The effort fell flat.

Rather than buzz around the name change and what it might mean for Harris’s political future, it only reinforced how phony and performative she is.

Investigative reporter Chris Rufo noted, “My children have informed me that ’67’ is already old, tired, and cringe, so once again, Kamala is coming up short.”

Other X users reminded people that Harris admitted she really thinks about younger generations, “They are stupid.”

Kamala Harris Continues to Show How Out of Touch She is With New Cringey Rebranding

Try as she might, Kamala Harris is decidedly out of touch with regular Americans. Her inability to connect with regular voters was apparent in the 2024 election, when President Donald Trump beat her handily, even with effusive, copious free press from the legacy media and celebrities.

Despite her electoral drubbing, Harris is trying to rebrand her social media presence, but she has only proved how uncool she actually is.

Harris shared a video on the HQ account she used during the campaign and announced it would now be called headquarters67 in an attempt to co-opt a Gen Alpha meme using ’67.’

The New York Post notes, “Alpha brainrot slang ’67’ that kids sometimes facetiously used when asked a question they’re too lazy to answer properly.

REPORT: Kamala Campaign Probed Walz’s Links To Chinese Communists During Veep Selection

A Democrat who once bragged about his fondness for China was questioned about potential foreign ties during Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign, according to multiple sources familiar with the vice presidential vetting process.

The revelation surfaced as fallout continues over the Harris campaign’s questioning of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro about whether he had ever acted as an agent for Israel, a claim Shapiro detailed in his recent memoir and confirmed by CNN.

“I told her how offensive the question was,” Shapiro wrote.

Sources told CNN that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was also subjected to intense scrutiny over his long history of praise for China and its communist system, with the campaign pressing him on whether his views and travel raised concerns about foreign influence. The outlet cited four unnamed sources familiar with the vetting process.

The questions, sources said, were not arbitrary.

Walz has a well-documented record of expressing admiration for China during his years as a teacher, including remarks praising communist ideology.

“It means that everyone is the same and everyone shares,” Walz said in 1991 while teaching.

“The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing,” he added.

Minnesota Public Radio later reported that Walz exaggerated how often he traveled to China, raising further red flags during the vetting process.

Kamala Harris Buys $8.2 Million Seaside Mansion After Warning ‘Sea Levels Are Rising’ Due to ‘Climate Crisis’

Kamala Harris warned in 2023 that to “live in a coastal community is to live on the front lines of the climate crisis.” The failed presidential candidate is reporting for duty: She and her husband, Doug Emhoff, purchased an $8 million oceanside mansion in Malibu.

The purchase, our Thomas Catenacci writes, “calls into question Harris’s earnestness when discussing the threats posed by what she calls the ‘climate crisis.’” During her short-lived presidential campaign, Harris warned that “sea levels are rising” because humans are “poisoning the planet.” In the Senate, she cosponsored the Living Shorelines Act, which called to earmark $50 million annually for combating rising sea levels because they threaten “thousands of coastal communities and economies.” And the Biden-Harris administration released a climate model that says the beach that’s a short walk from Harris’s new pad will be significantly damaged by sea level rise.

Harris doesn’t appear to be bothered by those risks. Her new home is “perched in a prime coastal location” with “breathtaking ocean views,” according to a real estate listing we reviewed. It also features some of the luxuries—like a gas-powered stove and fireplace—that the Biden-Harris administration targeted with burdensome regulations.

Kamala Harris Humiliates Herself Condemning Capture of Maduro

It’s been over a year now since her humiliating loss to President Donald Trump, yet for some reason, Kamala Harris still hasn’t figured out that she’s a joke and should fade away into the sunset rather than subject herself to future embarrassment for opening her mouth.

Like many other Democrats who have decided that opposing the capture of a dictator is the hill they want to die on, Kamala took to X on Saturday to condemn Donald Trump’s successful military operation that captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

I guess she’s still on the DNC email list for the latest talking points.

“Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela do not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable,” she claimed. “That Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action was both unlawful and unwise. We’ve seen this movie before. Wars for regime change or oil that are sold as strength but turn into chaos, and American families pay the price.”

Her post continued:

The American people do not want this, and they are tired of being lied to.

This is not about drugs or democracy. It is about oil and Donald Trump’s desire to play the regional strongman. If he cared about either, he wouldn’t pardon a convicted drug trafficker or sideline Venezuela’s legitimate opposition while pursuing deals with Maduro’s cronies.

The President is putting troops at risk, spending billions, destabilizing a region, and offering no legal authority, no exit plan, and no benefit at home.

America needs leadership whose priorities are lowering costs for working families, enforcing the rule of law, strengthening alliances, and — most importantly — putting the American people first.

As I pointed out yesterday, Trump has not gotten us into another war. This was a surgical strike that accomplished its objective without a hitch. The statement is curiously similar to pretty much every other Democrats’ statement on the successful mission.

DNC ‘drowning’ in nearly $16M of debt — and pointing fingers as failed 2024 Biden-Harris campaign haunts Dems

The Democratic Party’s principal fundraising committee saw donations slump in the second-to-last month of the year, recording just a $12 million campaign war chest and almost $16 million still in debt due to a loan taken out the previous month, Federal Election Commission filings show.

The fundraising doldrums come amid party infighting over whether to release a 2024 autopsy report on the failed Biden-Harris campaign and pressure ahead of the critical 2026 midterms, in which Democrats want to retake Congress.

The Democratic National Committee listed a little more than $12.6 million cash on hand, $10.7 million raised, and $15.9 million in debts in its FEC filing for November, with national Republicans accusing their opponents of “drowning” in their obligations to pay off bills.

That puts the DNC only a few hundred thousand dollars ahead of the Republican National Committee (RNC) for that month’s fundraising — but far behind the GOP’s $89.9 million cash on hand and lack of outstanding debts as both parties look ahead to the 2026 midterms.

From Nov. 1 to 30, the DNC actually lost roughly $6 million from its campaign war chest with spending having outpaced its donations. The month before, it had also raised $23 million — more than double its November haul.

REPORT: Kamala Harris Planning Another Presidential Campaign

The humiliation of the 2024 presidential campaign clearly wasn’t enough for Kamala Harris.

The former vice-president, who lost in a landslide to Donald Trump last November, has reportedly “made clear to potential 2028 rivals that she’s working to keep another White House campaign viable.”

Axios reports:

Despite worries from party leaders and donors that she can’t win, Harris remains at or near the top of most 2028 Democratic primary polls.

She also has strong support among Black voters — the most critical voting bloc in most recent Democratic presidential primaries.

After lying low the first part of this year and then embarking on a 2024-focused book tour, Harris made several moves this week that many Democrats see as the beginnings of a 2028 campaign.

Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, mingled with national party officials and state party chairs in Los Angeles this week during the DNC’s winter meeting.

At a reception Wednesday evening, DNC chair Ken Martin introduced Emhoff as the former second gentleman and quipped that he could be the future first gentleman, people who heard the remarks told Axios.

Dem Governor Josh Shapiro Snaps When He Finds Out What Kamala Harris Said About Him: ‘Complete and Utter Bulls***’

Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania lost his normally even-keeled demeanor when a reporter read to him what former Vice President Kamala Harris wrote about him in her book about the 2024 presidential race.

Political pundits have argued that Harris would have increased her chances of beating Donald Trump if she had selected Shapiro as her running mate, given his more moderate stances on some issues, and because he is a popular governor in a swing state that she needed to carry.

The Atlantic’s Tim Alberta recounted that he had received an advance copy of Harris’ “107 Days” before he interviewed the governor earlier this fall.

“I asked Shapiro if Harris had given him any heads-up about her book. She had not, he said. Then I told him that Harris had taken some shots at him,” Alberta wrote, causing the politician to furrow his brow and cross his arms.

“The man I observed over the next several minutes was unrecognizable. Gone was his equilibrium. He moved between outrage and exasperation as I relayed the excerpts. Harris had accused him, in essence, of measuring the drapes, even inquiring about featuring Pennsylvania artists in the vice-presidential residence; of insisting ‘that he would want to be in the room for every decision’ Harris might make,” Alberta continued.

Her book accused Shapiro — who is considered a likely 2028 presidential contender — of hijacking the meeting when the two sat down to discuss the possibility of him joining her on the Democratic ticket, “to the point where she reminded him that he would not be co-president.”

“She wrote that in her book?” Shapiro asked Alberta in response to the claim concerning the residence’s art. “That’s complete and utter bulls***.”

“I can tell you that her accounts are just blatant lies,” he added.
