NEW: California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Thursday would not take a position on Proposition 36, despite being a major supporter of a slate of organized retail theft bills that state leaders tried to use to negotiate the measure off of the ballot.

Prop 36 asks California voters to enhance the penalties for some drug and theft crimes, primarily targeting repeat thieves and fentanyl dealers.

NEW: Video shows TX National Guard soldiers repelling a group of migrants trying to cross illegally into Eagle Pass, TX. It appears to me that the soldiers shoot pepper balls in front of the group to get them to disperse. TX continues to use its own resources to stop crossings.

Happening Now: A large group of 140 just crossed into the Eagle Pass, Texas area—The second of the day and it’s only 8am.

The vast majority of them are from
Venezuela, Ecuador and Honduras.

17 unaccompanied minors were traveling with the group.

Sources say some illegal immigrants broke off the group and ran—An attempt to capitalize on the big group tying up Border Patrol but Agents just took off after them.

🚨 In less than 48 hours after Newsom signed a bill to RAISE the cost of gas—and to limit its availability—Phillips 66 announced it is closing a refinery. This facility provides 8% of California’s gas, diesel and jet fuel. 

Watch as the cost of gas rises—Newsom has gotten his wish.  Richy people like him will continue to afford gas, while the rest of folks will limit their driving—this will harm restaurants and other businesses.

“The exit follows California Governor Gavin Newsom’s signing of a bill on Monday requiring oil refiners to maintain a minimum fuel inventory and authorized the state’s Energy Commission to ensure refiners plan for resupply during maintenance outages to prevent supply shortages.

“With the long-term sustainability of our Los Angeles Refinery uncertain and affected by market dynamics,” the company is working with land development firms to evaluate the future use of its properties near the Port of Los Angeles, said CEO Mark Lashier.

The exit will leave a big hole in California’s motor fuel supply. The Los Angeles refinery produces 85,000 barrels per day of gasoline and another 65,000 barrels per day of diesel and jet fuel, according to Phillips 66.”

Do not be surprised when other oil folks’ close shop in California. Be assured no oil company will even try to open a refinery in California. 

So far Newsom has caused the loss of almost 1,000 well paying jobs.  Newsom  is crushing the people of California.

"The issue at the U.S./Mexico Border hasn’t gone away."

Watch: Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland interviewed with Elizabeth Vargas and spoke about the threat of cartel violence towards US Border Patrol Agents.

Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea noted that Heida had not violated policy and that “these incidents don’t happen if the suspect cooperates.”

This suspect played stupid games and won stupid prizes.
