California Senator Manhandled and Ejected from Noem’s Presser in LA Anti-ICE Riot Chaos

In a scene straight out of a political thriller, California’s far-left Senator Alex Padilla, (D), was unceremoniously hauled out of a press conference by authorities after he tried to hijack Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s remarks on the raging anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. 

The Democrat’s stunt didn’t just fall flat and it ended with him being frog-marched out with his hands in the air like a common antifa thug without a black umbrella. 

Padilla, apparently emboldened by the left’s obsession with undermining law enforcement, stormed into Noem’s press conference and started shouting over her. Noem, cool as ever, didn’t even flinch. She continuing her address like the professional she is. 

Just moments before the Democrat's disruption, Noem dropped a truth bomb, declaring that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “is staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city.” That’s the kind of straight talk that makes California’s ruling class squirm.

The authorities weren’t playing games with this cretin. They moved in swiftly, ordering Padilla to raise his hands as they escorted him out of the room. 

Fox News reporters on the scene said the senator was briefly detained by FBI personnel, though Noem later met with him privately for what she called a “cordial and beneficial” 10-15 minute chat. They even exchanged phone numbers, with Noem saying Padilla had concerns about ICE operations but that they’d opened a line of communication. 

“Things are OK between the two of them,” she told Fox News. How magnanimous of her to entertain the guy who just tried to derail her presser.

Predictably, California’s perpetually aggrieved oily Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom couldn’t resist chiming in on X, clutching his pearls over Padilla’s brief detainment. 

“@SenAlexPadilla is one of the most decent people I know,” Newsom whined. “This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.” Shock troops? What a jerk. Maybe he’s just upset that Noem’s actually doing something about the chaos his policies helped create.

Padilla, for his part, tried to spin the incident to say that he was just doing his job. In a statement, his team of commies claimed he was “performing Congressional oversight in Los Angeles,” pompously noting, “Senator Padilla is currently in Los Angeles exercising his duty to perform Congressional oversight of the federal government’s operations in Los Angeles and across California.” 

According to the statement, he was just trying to “ask the Secretary a question” when he was “forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed.” 

Bull crap. Maybe next time, don’t barge into a press conference and try to make it about you.

Here’s the kicker: less than 24 hours earlier, the self-promoting senator was yanked from the Congressional Baseball Game in D.C. to rush back to California because of the riots. He was supposed to be playing first base, but instead, he’s out here playing the victim card. 

If this is what “Congressional oversight” looks like, maybe it’s time for Padilla to rethink his approach. Meanwhile, Noem’s out there showing what real leadership looks like with a calm, collected demeanor and is unafraid to call out the left’s disastrous policies. California could use more of that and less of Padilla’s grandstanding.

Dems apparently afraid to cooperate with Trump on voter fraud

Democratic state officials who may or may not be guilty of voter fraud involvement are refusing to cooperate with the investigation of the same ordered by President Trump. They refuse to hand over "voter roll data" the commission is seeking, possibly due to the fact that it will negate their own elections. 

The refusal comes after Kris Kobach of Kansas (aka KKK) who is the secretary of state and serving as vice chair of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity wrote to all 50 states (not 57, as Mr. Obama believed) asking for their input along with voter registration data.

According to an anonymous source, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-Va.) was literally shaking with fear and looked as if he lost much sleep over the request. He said in a statement, "I have no intention of honoring this request. Virginia conducts fair, honest, and democratic elections." 

The same source, who asked to be called Vinny Boombots,  said that he noticed McAuliffe had his fingers crossed when he wrote the statement.

The leftist governor claimed the commission is based on the "specious and false notion that there was widespread voter fraud last November."

Hey, what's a few million votes in a country as big and as wonderful as the good ole US of A?

Mr. Trump created the panel via executive order in May to review alleged voter fraud after seeing a show on TV about that topic. He made the tremendous and incredible claim that 3 million to 5 million people illegally voted in the 2016 presidential election.

The Kobach letter politely asked for recommendations on how to improve election integrity, "which had Democratic lawmakers literally rolling on the floor with laughter," Vinny Boombots said.

McAuliffe and a clapping felon

What really got the Democrat's goat was Kobach's request for voter information that would actually identify voters. You know, identification information like their names, date of birth, political party, voter history ("elections voted in"), the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, felony convictions, military status and more.

In other words, could they prove these people existed and were actual US citizens.

Kobach was clear in the request that he was only asking for "publicly-available voter roll data" under each state's laws.

This got the Democrats scurrying like rats on the Titanic without sheet music, Vinny said cryptically.

Connecticut Secretary of State Denise Merrill said in a statement that her office would provide the requested information "in the spirit of transparency," but added that some of the requested data is not sharable under state law, and she would ensure "the privacy of voters is honored by withholding protected data." She also seemed concerned that state officials "have not been told precisely what the Commission is looking for."

Virginia and California were obviously more peeved in their response.

McAuliffe, a close Clinton family ally and possible secret shopper said, "At best this commission was set up as a pretext to validate Donald Trump's alternative election facts, and at worst is a tool to commit large-scale voter suppression."

He was perhaps referring to illegal alien voter suppression, which he sees as racist and a sign of white privilege. He declared he wouldn't "divert resources" to this, as a little bead of sweat trickled down his cheek.

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla said in a statement that he would "not provide sensitive voter information to a commission that has already inaccurately passed judgment that millions of Californians voted illegally."

Padilla added, "California's participation would only serve to legitimize the false and already debunked claims of massive voter fraud made by the President, the Vice President, and Mr. Kobach."

Show me the debunking.

Kobach told The Kansas City Star he's simply looking for the "best data possible."

He called it "nonsense" that the data could be used to suppress the vote. "The purpose of the commission is to quantify different forms of voter fraud and registration fraud and offer solutions. And so you have to have this data in order to do any meaningful research."

Trump's claims of voter fraud and a commission to investigate it have been controversial from the start. 

In January, Trump called for a major investigation into voter fraud after telling lawmakers that 3 to 5 million people voted illegally in the November election. This allegation may have been inspired by the fact that Hillary Clinton [of Benghazi and illegal private server fame] received more popular votes than Trump and he punched back by claiming that those extra votes were illegal and without them, he would have also won the popular vote.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said at the time Trump first made the claim that he saw "no evidence" to corroborate the existence of fraud.

But there have been documented cases of voter fraud, including some cases Kobach pursued in Kansas.

But 3 to 5 million?

Who knew?

Will California pay for the wall if they secede?

California submitted a proposal to the State Department on Thursday to secede from the United States. If they do, the GOP will be unstoppable in future presidential elections.

They call it "Calexit," a name lifted from the UK's "Brexit" departure from the European Union. It would require voters to repeal part of California's constitution declaring the state an inseparable part of the U.S.

A recent poll fount about 33 percent of liberal residents there would support a secession due to their opposition to President Trump, but no reference was made of him in the proposal.

If the proposal qualifies for the ballot and is approved by voters, it would be the first step to a future vote of whether the state would become a country in and of itself--a haven for liberal skateboarders and pot smokers.

Hopefully they will leave and likely implode.

Secretary of State Alex Padilla said that the group behind the proposal Yes California Independence Campaign, will be allowed to go ahead and collect the approximate 600 thousand signatures needed to put the plan on the ballot.

"In our view, the United States of America represents so many things that conflict with California values [smoking dope, abortion on demand, free condoms, free contraceptives, free schools, and free liberal-only speech] and our continued statehood means California will continue subsidizing the other states to our own detriment, and to the detriment of our children," the Yes campaign's website says.

This is not the first attempt to leave the union and establish California as a nation. 

This proposed constitution amendment, titled California Nationhood, would ask voters to repeal language saying the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law. If approved, it calls for a 2019 vote asking Californians: "Should California become a fee, sovereign and independent country?"

"America already hates California, and America votes on emotions," Marcus Evans, vice president of Yes California told the Los Angeles Times. "I think we'd have the votes today if he held it."

In order to qualify for the ballot, the 600 thousand signatures must be submitted by July 25th. 

Hopefully they will secede and another wall goes up between the nation of California and the United States of America. 

I suspect President Trump will make it difficult for Californians to visit the United States unless properly vetted.
