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.

Watch: PG&E CEO speaks on reducing impact of planned power shutoffs.

While Pacific Gas & Electric Co. shuts off power to thousands of customers during windy conditions, the utility's CEO is talking about their long-term work to minimize service disruptions.

PG&E for years now has been proactively shutting off power to customers in areas it deems at risk of wildfires. Those planned outages are known as Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS).

CEO Patti Poppe said for a utility in the business of keeping power running to their customers, one of the tougher decisions is to cut that power when it's windy and dry enough that their equipment could start a large fire. She says they're focused on reducing the number of people who are impacted.

Video and witnesses confirm officer Brad Lunsford was completely justified using deadly force against a felon violently resisting arrest.

When officers are disarmed of their tasers or are otherwise incapacitated during a struggle, the consequences can be deadly.

Officer Brad Lunsford was completely justified in his use of force.

... but an anti-cop, Soros-backed prosecutor is coming after him anyway.

We're standing with officer Lunsford until he clears his name from this political prosecution by @NewMexicoDOJ.

WARNING GRAPHIC!

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Force Investigation Division is investigating an Officer-Involved Shooting that occurred in North Hollywood Division.

On September 16, 2024, around 4:50 a.m., North Hollywood Division uniformed officers responded to a radio call of an Assault with a Deadly Weapon Suspect with a Firearm in the 12100 block of Victory Boulevard. Witnesses indicated that the suspect, later identified as 37-year-old Sean Griffin, had shot into an occupied vehicle, striking a victim. As the officers entered the intersection of Victory Boulevard and Bellingham Avenue, they encountered Griffin armed with a firearm. Griffin pointed the firearm at the officers, and an Officer-Involved Shooting occurred.

Griffin fled on foot as additional units began to arrive in the area. Additional officers encountered Griffin, still armed with a firearm, where a second OIS occurred. Griffin continued running, still armed, into a nearby multi-story parking structure. Officers again encountered Griffin in the parking structure, where he pointed his firearm toward the officers, and a third OIS occurred. Griffin was struck by gunfire and fell to the ground. Officers rendered aid to Griffin until the arrival of Los Angeles Fire Department personnel, but he was pronounced deceased at the scene.

A loaded firearm with one round in the chamber and two rounds in the magazine was located next to Griffin, and additional live rounds were recovered from Griffin’s person. The firearm was recovered and booked as evidence.

No officers were injured as a result of this incident
