In reviewing USDA-APHIS data, CA has BY FAR the highest rate of H5N1 infection in cattle - and that's not bc there are more cattle here than in any other state. (WI has the 2nd most cattle, and ZERO bird flu cases.)

Why the fast spread? Are public health workers spreading it? Image Here's the link to that letter: cheac.org/wp-content/upl…

As if the Homeless Industrial Complex in Los Angeles could be any more inept or corrupt: check out the newest appointment to the LAHSA by the esteemed Hilda Solis... yep, Katie Hill, who was quietly let go by People Assisting the Homeless around the time she ran for Congress 🧵 Image Hill "will be a fierce advocate for our unhoused neighbors" 😂 okay, sure... just like those unhoused neighbors at HOPICS who got evicted when she forgot to pay the bills...

🧵Gavin Newsom learned a lesson after I exposed the truth about his gifted mansion in Fair Oaks, CA, and used a Registered Agent service for the LLC he formed to purchase his new mansion instead of using the Plumpjack registered agent.

But still, how can an entity that was just formed 11/12/24 close the purchase of a $9.1 million home 2 days later?Image MHBD Farms, LLC purchased the home from Daniel Pritzker, cousin of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and billionaire Hyatt Hotels heir. Newsom and Co. were a little cagier with how they named this LLC. Instead of naming it with the street address, they used the first initials of his children.Image

🧵Hey y'all - as I find groups who are registered to go into a disaster zone and working to help those in western NC and other areas affected by Helene, I'll post in this thread.

Here's the first one: NC Baptist Disaster Relief is going to be the premier organization for this effort IMO due to their existing infrastructure and network. They need skilled volunteers, cash donations, and more. Here is their page for Helene: baptistsonmission.org/Mission-Projec…

🧵 Thoughts on the report on the Secret Service's inexcusable epic failure on 7/13 ...

Would Crooks have known that this would be the last opportunity for an assassin to take out Trump w/o the threat of counter snipers?

Why didn't the SAIC know abt credible intel of a threat? Image TRAINING. No agent who's not fully competent with a piece of equipment should be deployed to a high-threat situation ALONE with that equipment. WTF Image

🧵🤦🏻‍♀️I hear this guy is seeking endorsement from the Republican party for Agoura Hills City Council. Or perhaps that he just got the endorsement because nobody bothered to look past the American flag and his claim to love first responders and Veterans on his campaign site Image Seriously, here's a cursory look at some of the things on his Twitter

OMG this shit with the Chechen at the Special Forces soldier's house is WILD 🧵OK, I'm not done w/my RedState piece so I'll give some highlights here. Moore County NC Sheriff isn't pressing charges after investigation (including pattern of GSW and shell casings) shows the shooting of Ramzan Daraev was justified under NC's Castle Doctrine. Image

Hmm maybe this is why 90% of @KamalaHarris' staff quit on her? From a very involved Democrat family in Northern CA whose son interned in Harris' office when she was CA AG:

"Harris vocally throws around “F-bombs” and other profanity constantly in her berating of staff and others...

"As AG... Harris instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, “Good Morning General.”

"Gregory was also given instructions to never address Harris nor look her in the eye as that privilege was only allowed to senior staff members"Image

🧵The Order to Show Cause from Judge Scarsi in Hunter Biden's CA case just scorches the defense

They filed a motion to dismiss based on Judge Cannon's ruling in Trump classified docs case, but lied - claiming Weiss didn't file any charges until AFTER Special Counsel appointmentImage Scarsi points out that Weiss brought both gun and tax charges in DE under his authority as US Attorney (a position requiring Senate confirmation, which also distinguishes Weiss from Jack Smith) - and that the CA tax charges were originally brought in DE

and that counsel admitted that in a prior motion!Image

Here is a list of @KamalaHarris' worst hits as I've covered them at @RedState - this list will be updated over the next few days

1. When SCOTUS told AG Kamala CA's jails were so overcrowded it constituted cruel and unusual punishment she fought the order b/c she used inmates as cheap labor.

redstate.com/jenvanlaar/201… 2. As San Francisco District Attorney, Kamala refused to turn over San Francisco Archdiocese files in her office’s possession that “contain details of how the church dealt internally with alleged pedophile priests going back as far as 80 years.”

I'm a little annoyed by the wording in the RNC's email this AM announcing the Platform committee's vote. It states, "Read the 2024 Platform, as passed by Committee, below" then has 8 paragraphs, the 20 bullet points, then a closing paragraph. It's evident that there is *some* language missing, signified by the ellipses, but ...

It turns out that the document is 16 pages and has other bullet point lists. A few ellipses doesn't mean the reader should anticipate another dozen pages of platform language. Huge unforced error, RNC.

Here's the email from the RNC to pressImage

Here's Jennifer Siebel Newsom's full e.e. cummings-style attack on Ruby Rippey-Tourk, the woman who was an at-will employee of Gavin Newsom and the wife of his best friend/campaign manager when he boinked her back in 2005 - and JSN says the sex happened when Ruby showed up passed out outside Gavin's door.

Oh and he was married to Kim Guilfoyle when the affair occurred.

JSN asked Harvey Weinstein, who she now claims had r*ped her BEFORE this, for help addressing the scandal - but obviously it didn't work because...

This was her attempt to rehab herself AFTER she told a SF Chronicle reporter that Ruby was the "culprit" in the affair, whatever that means. In addition to revealing her terrible crisis communication skills, this screed reveals a LOT about JSN's character. She cannot be allowed anywhere near the White House.Image Read a lot more detail here - a story I wrote in November 2023:

"Here Are Jennifer Newsom's Disgusting Comments About the Employee Gavin Had an Affair With While SF Mayor"

🚨 🧵The arrest warrant for Diana Teran, George Gascón's "ethics" deputy who was arrested for numerous felonies, has been unsealed... And OMG.

She accessed and copied info from protected personnel files, investigative grand jury docs, internal emails for 1600 (!!) LASD deputies Image She then used that information, at least some of which was rumor and unverified, to try to build out the LADAs Brady database Image

🧵So, let's break down this email thread between @GavinNewsom's chief of staff and #FixProp47's Greg Totten. It starts on Friday 6/14 with Totten outlining the problems with Newsom's "compromise" designed to get the group to withdraw the ballot initiative Image Williamson replies saying they should meet instead of emailing due to the time constraints (bills needed to be amended by today), and Totten asks for their proposal in writing... knowing that Team Newsom likely wants to get them into an in-person struggle session Image

In his opening statement, ranking member Dr. Raul Ruiz incredibly claims that Fauci never lied about funding gain-of-function research or the research occurring at Wuhan Institute of Virology, and claims that Fauci did not orchestrate any efforts to play down the lab leak theory.

It looks like Ruiz and the Democrats are going to throw Peter Daszak (EcoHealth Alliance chief) and Fauci's former Senior Advisor David Morens under the bus; Ruiz spent time talking about Daszak's avoidance of reporting requirements for EHA and Morens' avoidance of FOIA compliance and didn't claim those were lies. In Democrat-speak, that means it's foreshadowing for future blame of Morens and Daszak for things Fauci should be accountable for. Oh yay, Ruiz gave the rest of his time to Jamie Raskin

🔴SCOOP🔴 Sources w/knowledge of the investigation tell @RedState the charges relate to a plot by Teran and LA County Inspector General Max Huntsman starting in June 2018 to pilfer the personnel files of then-candidate Alex Villanueva and any LASD deputies who supported him.

🚨 🧵SCOOP w/audio: @lapublichealth under Barbara Ferrer didn't abide by its own COVID guidelines, leading to worker illnesses and deaths and possibly spreading disease throughout LA as inspectors were denied COVID leave and co-workers weren't properly notified when one tested positive. "I want to be clear... the protocols that were being enforced, that we were given, were not even being practiced within our office. And then the outcome was what? Just sick, people getting COVID..."

🚨 Workplace bullying and retaliation led to the suicide of Heather Hughes, an LA County Department of Public Health Employee, on Thursday. According to sources, Heather left a note on her desk referencing Liza Frias, Brenda Lopez, and Scott Abbott. Heather's requests for FMLA and reasonable accommodation were rejected, and sadly she saw no other way out. She put on her Public Health jacket and went to the top of the 18-story building at Metroplex Wilshire and jumped.Image

LA County DPH head Barbara Ferrer has known of the major issues in the Environmental Health Division for YEARS. In August 2021, despite the possibility of retaliation, more than 1/3 of the union members in the office participated in a Vote of No Confidence against Frias and her deputies, and noted that they'd brought up the issues over and over to HR reps and management and their concerns were dismissed out of hand.Image
