Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal.   We’ve talked a lot about [Gov.] 
Gavin Newsom and California in particular. Apparently, Gavin Newsom will be running for president in 2028…. 
Can You Prove You’re Gay? 
Inside California’s LGBTQ Business Certification Program

As of April 2022, under the Supplier Diversity Program managed by the California Public Utilities Commission, if you’re a large-scale utility company in California, you have the option to… 
Sacramento Dems Ban Glocks Before They’re Illegal—and Release Criminals After They Are 
California’s Assembly Bill 1127 is sold as gun safety. 
In reality, it is the Sacramento Democrats engaging yet again in their favorite sport: punishing the law-abiding for the failures of the government. 
The bill bars licensed dealers, beginning July 1, 2026, from selling so-called machinegun-convertible pistols—Glock-style handguns that criminals can illegally alter with switches. 
But the switch…

The frozen-food storage facility, operated by Michigan-based Lineage Logistics, has walls densely lined with insulation. 
According to firefighters, the insulation continued to smolder…

Gavin Newsom would have you believe he is now the brave victim of a Trump-orchestrated reign of terror. 
In a self-pitying video released this week, the California governor melodramatically declared that he and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, had proudly joined “[President] Donald Trump’s hit list.” 
Federal agents, he wailed, have been knocking on the doors of…

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is pushing back after the Trump administration suspended federal funding for the city’s Homeless Services Authority and a federal judge stated the agency appeared to have committed “obvious fraud.” 
Instead of applauding the administration’s audit of the agency, Bass warned that pausing funding could ultimately cost lives. 
However, allegations of…

The allegations emerged just days after Republican Spencer Pratt lost a runoff spot as thousands of late-counted mail-in ballots shifted the race. 
In an interview…

‘Gross Misuse of Federal Funding’: Trump Admin Blocks Payments to ‘Obviously Fraudulent’ Los Angeles Homeless Agency 
The Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Donald Trump announced an “immediate suspension” on all funding to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, citing a “clear pattern of fraud.”

California’s Skid Row Voter Case Proves Trump Right About the SAVE Act
