Donald Trump disagrees in the strongest terms with commuting the sentences of the worst murderers in the country. There were only 40 held in federal prisons. This commutation involves 37, not a large number, but it is more about sending a message. What did we expect from an administration that lets foreign criminals pour in […] The post Trump Reacts to Biden’s Commutations: Monsters Will Be on Death Row appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

A California girl appeared shocked and confused that she could be charged with a felony for shoplifting as her accomplice explained the state has “new laws,” police video shows. On Monday, the Seal Beach Police Department in Orange County published a compilation of security, police body cam, and police dash cam footage that shows three young women allegedly stealing products from an Ulta Beauty and a Kohl’s. The girls allegedly walked out with $648 worth of products from Ulta and at least $237 from Kohl’s.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Seal Beach Police Department (@sealbeachpolice) The footage shows police chasing the girls down in a parking lot, handcuffing them, and putting them in the back of a cop car. “It’s a felony?” one girl asks her friend as they are strapped in the cop car together. “B***h, new laws,” her friend responds. “Stealing is a felony.” “And this is Orange County, b***h, they don’t play,” she continued. “That’s why I asked, ‘what county is it?’ That’s where I went to jail last year and had to get on probation for a year for stealing out of Target.” The short video is set to “These Boots Are Made For Walkin'” by Nancy Sinatra and at one point it playfully zooms in on the very furry Uggs one of the alleged shoplifters is wearing. “One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you,” the song says, and also, “You’ve been messin’ where you shouldn’t have been messin.'” The Seal Beach Police Department warned would-be criminals in the caption of the video not to try their luck. “One of mother’s favorite songs and a friendly reminder that Proposition 36, which increases punishments for some retail theft and drug possession offenses, went into effect Wednesday morning in California,” the police department wrote. Last month during the election, nearly 70% of California voted to pass Proposition 36, a tough-on-crime ballot measure that reverses some of the changes made by a 2014 ballot measure, which turned certain nonviolent felonies into misdemeanors and shortened prison sentences. Afterward, retail theft skyrocketed in California. Theft of products worth $950 or less was only a misdemeanor under Proposition 47, but Proposition 36 reverses that to make it a felony if the person has two prior convictions for certain crimes. The measure was specifically targeted at retail theft, including “flash mobs,” where groups of thieves overwhelm a store. “Here in Seal Beach we never believed in the cite and release program, but this new proposition only strengthens our commitment to combatting Organized Retail Theft,” the police department wrote. “Remember folks, Don’t Steal in Seal,” the department added.

Shortly after an F/A-18 Super Hornet was accidentally shot down in a friendly fire accident over the Red Sea earlier this week, a second F/A-18 Super Hornet came within feet of also being shot down. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement that the two pilots from the plane that was shot down ejected safely after their plane was “shot down in an apparent case of friendly fire.” “The guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG 64), which is part of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, mistakenly fired on and hit the F/A-18, which was flying off the USS Harry S. Truman,” the statement said. Both pilots were safely recovered from the Red Sea, CENTCOM said. SCOOP: A second US Navy fighter jet narrowly avoided being shot down in ‘friendly fire’ incident when a second missile passed within 100 feet: source — Lucas Tomlinson (@LucasFoxNews) December 24, 2024 Fox News reported on Tuesday that a second F/A-18 Super Hornet that was flying several miles behind the downed fighter jet “was forced to take evasive maneuvers after a second surface-to-air missile was fired from the cruiser USS Gettysburg, narrowly missing the second jet by 100 feet while it prepared to land aboard the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The U.S. Navy official who spoke to Fox News said that the fighter jet that was shot down was in the process of landing when it was shot down. “It was a tanker crew returning to land on the carrier about 10 miles out,” the source said. “They recognized the missile was guiding and punched out about three seconds before the missile hit the jet.” The source indicated that fighter pilots were furious over the incident and that they questioned the training on the USS Gettysburg.

With less than a month left in the White House, President Joe Biden vetoed bipartisan legislation that could give President-elect Donald Trump and at least one successor the opportunity to appoint more federal judges over the next decade. The JUDGES Act sought to add 66 new federal judgeships in districts across the country starting in 2025 — though only a select number would be allowed every couple of years, meaning the additions would be spread across multiple administrations. C-SPAN’s Craig Caplan reported the bill passed the Democrat-led Senate by voice vote and the GOP-controlled House by a 263-173 vote — less than a veto-proof majority — after the 2024 election. President Biden vetoed the JUDGES Act creating 66 U.S. district judgeships across the country over a 10yr period beginning next yr when the 2nd Trump Admin begins. Senate approved the bill by voice vote & the House 263-173 with less than a veto-proof majority after the election. https://t.co/eqS4e2sKCP pic.twitter.com/lUledIwVtC — Craig Caplan (@CraigCaplan) December 24, 2024 Biden announced on Monday that he was vetoing the bill, criticizing both chambers of Congress over how they handled the measure. “S. 4199 seeks to hastily add judgeships with just a few weeks left in the 118th Congress,” Biden said. “The House of Representative’s hurried action fails to resolve key questions in the legislation, especially regarding how the new judgeships are allocated, and neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate explored fully how the work of senior status judges and magistrate judges affects the need for new judgeships. The efficient and effective administration of justice requires that these questions about need and allocation be further studied and answered before we create permanent judgeships for life-tenured judges.” The bill “would create new judgeships in States where Senators have sought to hold open existing judicial vacancies. Those efforts to hold open vacancies suggest that concerns about judicial economy and caseload are not the true motivating force behind passage of this bill now,” Biden continued, adding, “Therefore, I am vetoing this bill.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Sens. Todd Young (R-IN) and Chris Coons (D-DE), a bipartisan duo who spearheaded the effort to get the bill passed, released a joint press release in June celebrating when the legislation advanced through the Senate Judiciary Committee by a unanimous vote and noting that it would “help address rising caseloads and ensure that Americans have swift access to justice regardless of where they live.” After Biden torpedoed the bill, both lawmakers expressed disapproval. “This misguided decision is just another example of why Americans are counting down the days until President Biden leaves the White House. Issuing this veto is partisan politics at its worst. The JUDGES Act is a fair bill with strong bipartisan support that would have created 66 judgeships over three presidential terms to address our judicial backlog,” Young said in a statement. Young then took a swipe at Biden over the recent pardon of his son Hunter. “The President is more enthusiastic about using his office to provide relief to his family members who received due process than he is about giving relief to the millions of regular Americans who are waiting years for their due process,” Young said. “Biden’s legacy will be ‘pardons for me, no justice for thee.'” Fox News reported the following statement from Coons. “I am disappointed by this outcome, for my own state and for the federal judges throughout the country struggling under the burden of ever-higher caseloads. I’ve worked on this bill for years, and thanks to tireless bipartisan effort with Senator Young, it made it to the president’s desk. It’s highly unfortunate that it will not become law,” Coons said. “Senator Young and I took pains to make this a nonpartisan process, structuring the JUDGES Act so that Congress could pass the bill before any of us – Republican or Democrat – knew who would occupy the White House in 2025 and therefore nominate the new federal judges,” Coons went on, adding, “The Senate did its part by passing the bill unanimously in August; the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, however, waited for election results before moving the bill forward. As a result, the White House is now vetoing this bill.” Among the others who chided Biden over the veto was Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) “The lame-duck Biden team would rather leave our courts short-staffed than allow Pres. Trump to fill some of the new seats this bill would’ve opened up,” Kennedy said in a post to X. “The Biden-Harris admin puts politics over country every time.” The Senate recently confirmed the 235th judge nominated by Biden, a tally that surpassed the number of Trump’s federal bench picks approved by the upper chamber during his first term.

Lincoln County, Oregon finds itself in the midst of a heated dispute over anonymous letters urging residents to report suspected illegal immigrants. This controversial communication has sparked a debate involving privacy concerns, racial profiling, and immigration. As the community seeks a resolution, the balance between security and respect for all residents hangs in question. Community Discontent Over Anonymous Letters The anonymous letters circulating in Lincoln County call on residents to report license plate numbers of suspected immigrants. The letters suggest monitoring areas such as church parking lots and school lines. This has raised significant alarm among local authorities and advocacy groups. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, together with other local leaders, expressed condemnation of these letters for sowing division within the community. The FBI, contacted by local law enforcement, is aware of the situation and encourages the public to report any physical threats to the authorities. Despite the protection of such letters under the First Amendment, taking action based on their content may contravene Oregon’s laws. Community leaders are advocating a shift toward empathy and inclusivity, emphasizing the need for safety and dignity for all individuals. Official Responses to Community Concerns Oregon officials, including Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, have labeled the letters as divisive and racist. Protests have arisen from several quarters, urging locals to resist collecting or sharing information on individuals based on perceived immigration status. The emphasis is on maintaining trust and safety without resorting to racial profiling or unauthorized data collection. “We are encouraging our community members to do the right thing and use compassion as we encounter these types of messages. We strongly advise against engaging in activities such as those outlined in this letter, including collecting or sharing information about individuals based on their demographic or perceived immigration status.” – the sheriff’s office Sheriff Curtis Landers criticized the targeting actions proposed by the letter, stating that these erode trust and the sense of community in Lincoln County. Meanwhile, advocacy groups are providing know-your-rights training for immigrants, preparing them for any potential deportation threats. Oregon, committed to being a sanctuary state, continues to uphold laws that restrict local law enforcement from engaging in federal immigration activities without a legal warrant. Immigration Policy and Potential Legislative Changes Alongside local developments, changes in federal administration loom. With President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance poised to push for restrictive immigration reforms, the tension in Oregon serves as a microcosm of broader national challenges. The anonymous letter controversy coincides with the new administration’s campaign promises for extensive deportation efforts. As Oregon navigates these concerns, officials and community stakeholders reaffirm their commitment to unity and respect for human rights. The state’s sanctuary policies underscore its dedication to safeguarding both citizens and non-citizens alike from indiscriminate enforcement actions.

The H5 bird flu recently made its human debut in Los Angeles amidst a significant outbreak. This disease spurred California to declare a statewide emergency. With over 65 documented human cases in the U.S., primarily in California, the flu has also affected wild birds, poultry, and dairy cattle. While most human cases are mild, officials emphasize that proper precautions are crucial to prevent further spread. How did this outbreak unfold, and what steps are being taken to safeguard public health? California’s State of Emergency The outbreak led California Governor Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency. Surveillance data revealed over 300 dairy herds affected in just the past month. This targeted action aims to safeguard public health and bolster response capacities. Despite this, health experts maintain that the risk to the general public is low, urging continued vigilance and precautionary measures. As the disease’s spread among livestock became evident, public health officials emphasized the risks posed by exposure to infected animals. Health precautions include avoiding contact with wild birds and sick livestock, wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling potentially infected animals, and steering clear of unpasteurized dairy products.

This individual had direct exposure to sick and dead birds from backyard flocks. Although this case marked a significant development, the CDC reiterated that there is no person-to-person transmission. According to experts, current human infections emerge from direct contact with infected animals or their products. Furthermore, with 65 confirmed cases of the H5 bird flu in humans primarily found in California, symptoms typically remain mild. Infected individuals often experience fever, respiratory issues, and redness of the eyes. Nonetheless, medical professionals underscore the importance of vigilance to mitigate potential spillover into larger communities.
