"It was quite a week. The biggest story was the indictment of James Comey, about which I have reservations. But the indictment was a boon to memesters, who recalled Comey’s earlier art project featuring seashells.
"Much more happened, too. The Trump administration adopted recommendations by the Harvard School of Public Health on the use of Tylenol by pregnant women, which were immediately denounced by leftists, even though it turned out that the manufacturer of Tylenol said the same thing. Jimmy Kimmel returned to television and garnered massive ratings in his first show back, mainly due to people tuning in to see whether he would apologize. He didn’t.
"Donald Trump visited the United Nations, only to be greeted with mechanical malfunctions.
"And left-wing violence continued apace, with yet more victims and with zero sign of remorse from liberal leaders.
"So here we go with The Week In Pictures, Seashells Redux Edition:" . . .
"California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) launched an attack on White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, labeling him “a fascist,” in a social media post." . . .
"Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Joel Pollak reported that in an X post from Monday, Newsom “launched an antisemitic attack” on Miller, who is Jewish. In Newsom’s post, he “referred to Miller as ‘SS,’ using an acronym for the Schutzstaffel, the elite Nazi corps:”
The epithet came in a post on X by the “GovPressOffice” account, the official public account of the governor’s press office, which alternates between serious information and attempts to troll President Donald Trump.
The all-caps posting referred to Miller as “SS,” using an acronym for the Schutzstaffel, the elite Nazi corps that was primarily responsible for the murder of millions of Jews in the Holocaust. Miller is Jewish.
Several people responded to Newsom’s post, calling Miller a “fascist” and for Newsom to “stop.” Others criticized Newsom for “inciting violence.”
“You’ve got to stop this,” Andrew Kolvet, the executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Showwrote in a post.
"California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) spent all day on social media Saturday, defending his incendiary claim that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is a “fascist.”
"Newsom decided to call Miller a “fascist” just days after the same accusation was carved into the bullet casings apparently used in the assassination Charlie Kirk. He had also called Miller, who is Jewish, “SS” — a reference to the Nazis who led the Holocaust.
"As Breitbart News reported, several prominent commentators called on Newsom to stop the hateful rhetoric, including Andrew Kolvet, who co-hosted Kirk’s radio show and was close to the late conservative leader.
"But Newsom persisted, and spent the entire day on Saturday defending and doubling down on “fascist.”
"Often, Newsom appeared to imitate President Donald Trump’s rhetorical style, as he has done in the past." . . .
"Gavin Newsom’s track record of brazen and unconstitutional efforts to undermine other states’ bans on abortions suggests that, if he was elected president, he would push to force red states to allow abortions up to the point of birth."
"Gavin Newsom has a sick obsession. It is the foundation upon which his entire governing philosophy rests, the animating principle behind all that he does.
"It is a philosophy of death: He is driven to do everything within his power to bring about the murdering of unborn children. This desire for death extends far beyond ensuring that young Californians can be killed up to the moment of birth. It reaches the point that he actively seeks to increase thenumber of out-of-state killings — even if his tactics violate the Constitution.
"And now, the governor has a new method to enable the large-scale slaughter of unborn children outside his own state’s boundaries. He will aid and abet criminal doctors trafficking in the murder of babies by allowing them to leave off their identifying information from the abortion drugs they ship nationwide en masse. On Friday, he signed a law that will allow abortion pills to be dispensed without the name of the doctor who prescribed it, the person who receives it, or the pharmacy where the medication comes from.
"A pipeline of untraceable drugs that stop unborn children’s beating hearts will now flow freely from California. We will not know who is responsible for this illegal drug trade, only that Gavin Newsom has chosen to enable this criminal activity, so determined is he that these actors kill more and more babies.
"In one sense, Newsom’s new law is a tacit admission that so-called “shield laws,” which purport to protect doctors who illegally ship abortion drugs out of state, are unconstitutional and will not hold up.
"Such laws, including several in California signed by Newsom, claim to protect from extraditions and lawsuits those who kill unborn children in places where this is outlawed. But these laws clearly violate the Full Faith and Credit Clause and the Extradition Clause of the Constitution, because they do not give “full faith and credit” to other states’ judicial proceedings. And they violate the Extradition Clause as well, because they claim to prevent the extradition of persons to the states where they are accused of committing crimes. As a number of state attorneys generalput it, shield laws “are blatant attempts to interfere with States’ ability to enforce criminal laws within their borders and disrupt our constitutional structure.”
"This new law will allow Newsom to hide these rings of unborn child killers from justice and responsibility. Thus, the new law is a declaration that, even if the Supreme Court holds that California must give “full faith and credit” to other states’ judicial proceedings, California won’t care and will instead build up covert networks that are enabled to kill more and more." . . .

Gav once again inspired some parody from the Babylon Bee:
"According to sources, Newsom, who has taken to modeling his own life after Trump, began taking meth in an effort to keep up with Trump's chaotic social media schedule. "The man never sleeps. I need something to give me a little more edge," Newsom reportedly confided in his wife shortly before ranting on social media in all caps about how everyone who wants to shut down illegal immigration is a literal Nazi from 1940's Germany."
" Presidential libraries serve as a historical marker, and in President Reagan's case, a monument to one of the most effective, transformative presidents of the 20th century. President Reagan was instrumental in bringing the Cold War to an end by facing down the Soviet Union. His policies ushered in a generation of American prosperity. His presidential library reflects that." RedState
Obama Library Funds Are Secretly Flowing to Dark Money Networks – PJ Media. . . "While community members struggle, insiders at the Obama Foundation are doing just fine. The foundation’s CEO, Emeka Jarrett, earned over $750,000 last year. The executive vice president, Rob Cohen, pocketed nearly $650,000, and also maintains ties to the Pritzker Realty Group. His connection to Penny Pritzker—sister to Governor J.B. Pritzker—only highlights the tangled web of Democratic powerbrokers who are thriving while the project supposedly dedicated to “the people” spirals out of control.
. . . "This entire project reeks of the kind of carefully crafted con job only career political operators could pull off. Sell it as a beacon of unity, then funnel millions to radical, antisemitic causes, all while insiders pocket obscene salaries. It’s a true reflection of the same kind of corruption that plagued Obama’s presidency."
"The Obama Presidential Center is a $615 million con, funneling money to radical causes and insider salaries."
Obama’s final booby trap"In the final days of the Obama presidency — while Americans were focused on inaugurating a new president and turning the page on a divisive era — President Barack Obama signed a quiet but sweeping executive order that many now see as a ticking time bomb planted in the heart of our Intelligence Community."
. . . "Conservatives must never forget this moment. Executive orders may not make headlines, but their impact can reshape the Republic. The next time a “national security” measure is rolled out in the dead of night, we should all ask: Who gains power — and who loses his freedom?
"Because once the intelligence machine is turned inward, the target is no longer terrorists. It’s you." . . .
“ 'Please! You have the power. We put you in power to do what you have to do. We’re asking you, we’re begging you all, to stop this!” Federico said, adding that was no good reason why someone who had committed 25 felonies would be walking the streets."
"In emotionally fraught testimony Monday, Steve Federico, father of a young woman who was brutally murdered by a black career criminal in South Carolina, pleaded with Democrats to stop protecting dangerous criminals with soft-on-crime policies.
"The House Judiciary Committee held a field hearing in Charlotte, North Carolina, Monday, to “examine violent crime in Charlotte, North Carolina and the surrounding areas looking at repeat offenders and lenient pretrial release policies and decisions among others.”
"The man’s daughter, Logan Federico, 22, was fatally shot in the chest by Alexander Dickey, 30, during a home invasion on May 3, 2025. She had been visiting friends at a rented property in Columbia, South Carolina at the time of the execution-style murder. “When I tell you this story, think about your kids,” her father said, his voice trembling with raw emotion.
" 'Think about your child coming home from a night out with their friends, laying down, going to sleep, feeling somebody come in the room and wake them and drag her out of bed, naked, forced on her knees, with her hands over her head! Begging for her life, begging for her hero, her father—ME!—that couldn’t be there,” Federico testified.
" '“She was five foot three, she weighed 115 pounds … BANG! … dead, gone!” he cried. “Why? Because Alexander Devante Dickey, who was arrested 39 G-d damn times—25 felonies!—was on the street. How about that?!”
"Addressing the committee members, Federico asked, “how good are we doing for out families? How good are you doing for your kids?”
"The father added: “He should have been in jail for over a 140 years for all the crimes he’d committed. You know how much time he spent in prison? A little over 600 days in ten years.”
"Federico noted that Dickey had been “committing 2.6 crimes a year since he was 16-years-old” but nobody had figured out that he couldn’t be rehabilitated." . . . More.
