President Donald Trump on Monday issued his “COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT” for Steve Hilton in the race for California governor, posting on Truth Social that he has "known and respected" the former Fox News host for many years. “Gavin Newscum and the Democrats have done an absolutely horrendous job,” Trump wrote, criticizing high taxes, rising crime and the exodus of residents and businesses. “Steve can turn it around, before it is too late, and, as President, I will help him

California lawmakers are on the verge of reviving one of the state’s most dangerous predators — and the rest of us will pay the price with our safety, our livestock, and potentially our lives. Senate Bill 1305, the so-called “California Grizzly Restoration Act,” was quietly introduced in February by Sen. Laura Richardson (D-Inglewood). It doesn’t dump grizzly bears into the wild tomorrow, but it does something almost as reckless: it declares it official state policy to bring

In November of 2025, a comprehensive, peer-reviewed study was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that delivered a scathing indictment of “gender-affirming care” for minors, concluding that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries.  These interventions expose children and adolescents to significant, often irreversible harms with virtually no reliable evidence of long-term benefit. Commissioned in response to President Trump’s January

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco’s decision to seize more than 650,000 ballots and election materials from the county Registrar of Voters following the November 2025 special election on Proposition 50 has ignited a fierce legal and political battle with California Attorney General Rob Bonta. At its core, the dispute raises a fundamental question about authority in American elections,

A former information technology project manager at the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and the owner of a Texas-based tech company have been charged with felonies in what prosecutors call one of the largest money laundering schemes in the district’s history.

California operates one of the most complex K-12 systems in the nation: the state Department of Education, 58 county offices of education (including Shasta County Office of Education - SCOE), and over 1,000 local districts—many tiny and rural. In Shasta County, there are 25 independent districts, plus SCOE, that serve about 26,000–27,000 students. Despite spending $billions, students are being left behind.

In a packed courtroom, Shasta County Superior Court Judge Benjamin Hanna heard arguments from petitioner Jennifer Katske, who is representing herself in pro per. Katske seeks a writ of mandate to prevent Measure B—a 14-point election integrity initiative—from appearing on the June 2, 2026, ballot. The judge stated that he would issue a written ruling by March 27, 2026.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a leading Republican candidate for California governor in 2026, has seized approximately 650,000–657,000 ballots from the November 2025 statewide special election on Proposition 50, launching an investigation into alleged discrepancies in vote counts. The action has sparked a high-profile clash with California Attorney General Rob Bonta and local election officials, who say the probe lacks credible evidence of fraud and could undermine

LOS ANGELES — The University of Southern California and KABC-TV abruptly canceled a high-profile 2026 California gubernatorial debate scheduled for Tuesday evening, March 24, after days of intense criticism that its invitation criteria unfairly excluded prominent candidates of color. The event, titled “Your Voice, Your Vote: Race for Governor 2026,” had been set to air live from USC’s Bovard Auditorium and stream statewide.

California, already home to some of the nation’s toughest firearm regulations, just rolled out a fresh wave of restrictions on gun storage, purchases, and parts — even as federal courts are chipping away at others. From locked safes in every home to a new three-gun-per-month limit, the changes come from bills signed last year and took effect or will soon. At the same time, recent court decisions are creating confusion.

In March 2026, California has become ground zero for a bold new wave of citizen journalism. Independent reporters, armed with hidden cameras, public records, and street-level grit, are exposing what they call rampant waste, abuse, and outright fraud in taxpayer-funded programs.

Agoura Hills, California — High above the roaring 10-lane Ventura Freeway (US-101), where 300,000 cars blast through daily, sits what promoters once hailed as the “world’s largest wildlife crossing.” The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing — a vegetated concrete overpass spanning 210 feet long and up to 174 feet wide — was supposed to be a gleaming symbol of environmental innovation. Instead, as of early 2026, it stands as a textbook case of government waste.

California, once celebrated as the Golden State and an economic powerhouse, has devolved into a textbook welfare state. Here, a shrinking minority of productive citizens shoulders the burden for a disproportionately large share of residents who consume public resources through an ever-expanding web of entitlements. With a population of approximately 39.5 million, only about 17.5 million Californians file and pay state personal income taxes.

Across California's tourism hotspots, local governments are effectively extorting visitors and convention-goers through aggressive hotel-specific minimum wage laws. These mandates – sold as “living wage” protections – are designed to extract higher room rates, fees, and taxes from out-of-town travelers to fund dramatic pay hikes for hotel workers. The result? Early data show clear job losses.

A former Lodi City Council member who narrowly won election in 2020 by allegedly orchestrating a voter fraud scheme that involved registering dozens of fake voters and stashing completed mail-in ballots at his home was sentenced this month to three years in county jail.

Thanks to teamwork, persistence, and compassion, dozens of missing children have been safely located and reunited with loved ones—proving that dedicated efforts truly make a difference.In Riverside County, more than 50 children were identified, and an operation was launched to rescue them. From March 2 to 6, 2026, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force (RCAHT) partnered with the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Central District of California and dozens o
