BREAKING NEWS

They Threaten and Get Off Easy — The Scandal of the LA City Hall Bomb Case

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  • This high‑profile case in which Brian K. Williams allegedly plotted and executed a bomb threat against Los Angeles City Hall, focusing on the legal fallout and public reaction.

  • It questions why the case produced what the author frames as a lenient outcome, suggesting accountability for politically connected actors can differ from ordinary citizens.

  • The writer criticizes law‑enforcement and prosecutorial choices, arguing the response failed to reflect the seriousness of an act that endangered public safety and sowed fear.

  • Coverage of the incident and its aftermath is portrayed as uneven, with media and institutions accused of downplaying culpability when the suspect aligns with certain causes.

  • The piece contends the episode reveals broader problems in how threats and politically charged wrongdoing are investigated and punished.

  • Ultimately, the author calls for greater transparency and equal application of the law to restore public trust.

UP IN SMOKE: Newsom vetoes raise for state firefighters, just months after devastating LA inferno

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  • Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bipartisan bill designed to raise salaries for Cal Fire firefighters, despite the bill’s widespread support and relevance after a devastating wildfire in Los Angeles.

  • The legislation would have tied firefighter pay to within 15% of the average salaries of 20 local fire departments statewide, addressing the disparity where state firefighters start at under $53,000 while municipal firefighters in certain cities begin near $85,000.

  • Newsom defended his veto by citing fiscal pressure on the state budget and concerns that the measure would bypass the collective bargaining process.

  • Firefighter unions and lawmakers sharply criticized the decision, especially since it came just before a memorial honoring fallen firefighters.

  • Critics argue the timing and content of the veto reflect political priorities over public safety and fair compensation.

  • The move also raises questions about how the governor balances state responsibilities, union relations, and his broader political ambitions.

🚨 Announcement: Man Arrested for Starting Palisades Fire

Newsom just made a catastrophic mistake on California’s homelessness disaster

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  • Governor Gavin Newsom has made a strategic shift in how California addresses homelessness, emphasizing tolerance, legal protections, and non-enforcement over strict cleanup or policing efforts.

  • Despite billions in spending and expanded programs, the visibility and scale of homeless encampments have continued to grow in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.

  • Residents report rising frustration as tent cities spread, public drug use remains unchecked, and basic sanitation and safety deteriorate.

  • Newsom’s administration continues to focus on housing subsidies and legal battles aimed at protecting the rights of unhoused individuals, even when communities call for stricter measures.

  • The courts, influenced by precedents like the Boise decision, have played a significant role in limiting enforcement tools such as clearing encampments.

  • As homelessness grows more entrenched, the approach risks backfiring politically, with critics arguing that compassion without accountability has deepened the crisis rather than solving it.

California Mask Ban Puts Federal Agents, Families on Edge

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  • California recently passed a law banning federal law enforcement agents from wearing masks that conceal their identities during duty, a move that has raised security concerns among those officers and their families.

  • The law, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, makes mask use by local and federal officers a misdemeanor offense starting in 2026, though certain exceptions—like undercover operations or medical masks—are allowed.

  • Many agents fear that appearing unmasked will expose them and their families to harassment, retaliation, or doxxing by adversarial groups.

  • The ban is part of a broader effort by California lawmakers to resist recent federal immigration enforcement tactics, especially masked ICE raids in Los Angeles.

  • Critics argue the state has no authority over how federal agents carry out their missions, citing constitutional and jurisdictional limits.

  • The law’s critics—both inside and outside law enforcement—view it as symbolic and legally vulnerable, likely to spark court battles over state vs. federal power.

L.A. Builds Billion-Dollar Skyscrapers for the Homeless… Developers Cash In

LA skyscrapers for homeless could cost federal taxpayers over $1 billion

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  • Three skyscrapers in downtown Los Angeles, built to house the homeless, are expected to cost taxpayers over $1 billion over 55 years, largely funded through federal Section 8 housing vouchers.

  • These towers, led by the Weingart Center Association and developed by Chelsea Investment Corporation and The Related Companies, are financed with a mix of state and city funds, tax credits, and bonds, with developers earning millions in fees.

  • The first tower cost over $600,000 per unit and the second has $534 million in projected voucher revenue over its lifespan; a third tower is projected to cost $865,000 per unit.

  • Critics argue this model enriches developers and nonprofits while failing to provide cost-effective housing solutions, citing the outsized per-unit costs.

  • Market-rate housing development in Los Angeles has declined sharply, with regulation-driven affordable housing making up 60% of new permits, partially blamed on Measure ULA, the “Mansion Tax,” which critics say is hurting the broader real estate market.

  • The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is advocating a ballot initiative to repeal such transfer taxes and restore pre-ULA limits, citing legal conflicts with Proposition 13.

Steve Hilton Files Federal Lawsuit to Stop Newsom

No matter where you are Thursday… tune in here!

The underbelly of California politics turned inside out this week.

GO CALIFORNIA with @taxfighter7 @nettermike and KURT on CFR.

Roxanne Beckford Hoge is an actress, a mom of four, and a former business owner. She is now the Chairman of the Los Angeles County Republican Party.

Roxanne did a series of PragerU videos on the scourge of CRT and has written several articles, including one on the root cause of unaffordable SoCal housing for the LA Daily News and for American Greatness.

Roxanne and her husband ran a business for two decades which taught them many lessons about entrepreneurship and the practical effects of government regulation. A legal immigrant from Jamaica, she became a citizen of the United States after the turn of the century and keenly appreciates all the wonders of this great nation, especially in California. "I cannot imagine living anywhere other than Los Angeles," says the community activist and volunteer. "When LA's children and businesses were sacrificed during Covid, while vulnerable seniors and our homeless population were ignored and all of us felt the rise in crime, we all looked to our local elected officials, and found most of them completely lacking."

Her work to help connect disaffected parents and question political leadership led to a profile in Bari Weiss' Common Sense and her experience in several campaigns is being collected for a book. She's appeared multiple times on Fox, CNN, OANN, as well as local news and radio outlets. She can be found on X as @RoxanneHoge.

She loves to spread the word about conservatism and good governance. Her personal story was featured in PragerU's Stories of Us.
