When it comes to matters of people's livelihoods, there is absolutely no glee in saying, "We told you so," but ... We told you so. As anyone with a rudimentary, high school-level knowledge of economics could've told you, the push to magically (federally) mandate a pay wage for low-skill employees...

Diego Diaz woke up after 40 days in a coma, and now he can’t stop talking about God. Diego, 18, of Fowler, CA, had been in a coma for almost 40 days following a motorcycle crash. Miraculously, he woke up, and his family calls it a “walking testimony of their faith.” RELATED: She Thought Her Boyfriend Was Ghosting Her ‘Til She Discovered an Accident Erased His Memories They Received a Call No One Would Want to Get On June 17th, Diego’s parents, Jasmine and Carlos, received a call no parents wanted to receive. That he had been in a motorcycle accident. His father told Fox 26 that during the phone call, he heard someone say something about trying to revive him. Doctors later told them to “prepare for the worst, hope for the best,” and that’s precisely what they did. Diego talks about seeing the light when he was facing life or death in the hospital in Fresno, CA. His family members stayed by his side, and they were told that he had suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI.) “I remember that night when we were in the ICU. I searched up Traumatic Brain Injury,” Diego’s mother says. “And what to do and what not to do like as a mom. You’re like, what am I supposed to do?” RELATED: Little Boy Comforts His Mom, Who Is in Tears As She Sees Him for the 1st Time After Accident After Almost 40 Days, He Started To Show Some Response She learned that the number one thing to do was never to leave your loved ones alone, so someone was always by Diego Diaz’s side. In July, after almost 40 days, Diego started to show some response. “I truly felt like that moment was like the light turned on. After that I felt so so much my faith. I felt so strong,” Diego’s dad says. “I was like, he’s going to make it. He’s going to make it. He’s going to make it.” And what a relief it must have been for his parents and family to know that he was back with them and God had brought him back. His parents will never forget that day, especially after the doctors told them that if he didn’t wake up soon, they would have to declare him brain-dead.

According to Fox 26 News, every sentence that Diego spoke after he woke up contained God. “Everytime they want me to talk I’m always like, ‘God did it,” the young man said. Diego Diaz graduated high school just a few weeks before the crash. He had signed to play football at Arizona Christian University on a scholarship and had recently been baptized. He was able to go back to his former teammates and thank them for all their prayers. The university also told him that the scholarship would be his whenever he was able to attend, even if he could no longer play football. They Are Driven By Hope and Faith Diego and his family are genuinely driven by hope and faith. “Everyone calls me a miracle,” Diego says. “But it’s God’s miracle. This is him showing he’s still alive. He’s still strong. He still has miracles. He just used me as a picture.” YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Man Gives Fiancée Permission to Back Out After He Suffers Freak Accident, but She Refuses The family is taking Diego’s recovery one day at a time.

Resurfaced footage of Kamala Harris exemplifies her contempt for the Second Amendment and the inalienable right to self-defense. “Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible,” then-San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris said.

The bill, which at the time had just been introduced to the city’s board of supervisors, was ultimately signed into law a few months later by then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. It was bundled with other gun control provisions, including a new requirement for legal gun distributors to submit an inventory to the chief of police every six months, and a ban on possessing guns – even legally – in public housing. “San Francisco now has the strictest anti-gun laws in the county,” Newsom said when he signed the new laws. During the May 2007 press conference discussing the safe-storage bill, Harris said the new measure was about legislating “our values” in an attempt to “encourage certain kinds of behavior.” “When we create laws, it’s not only about creating an opportunity, if you will, to prosecute someone for committing a crime, but more importantly, when we legislate our values, it’s about trying to encourage certain types of behavior,” she said at the time. Harris has faced criticism for statements she has made about her “values” heading into November. She told CNN last month they “have not changed,” while simultaneously switching on long-held policies on almost every front. Since becoming the Democratic nominee for president, Harris has tried to paint a more moderate picture of herself in an attempt to distance herself from President Biden and appeal to a wider swath of voters. Harris said during the presidential debate that her administration would not take anyone’s guns because her and Tim Walz are both gun owners. “This business about taking everyone’s guns away; Tim Walz and I are both gun owners. We’re not taking anybody’s guns away so stop with the continuous lying about this stuff,” Harris said.

We must pass an assault weapons ban, universal background checks, and red flag laws,” Harris said. tIM WaLZ AnD I ArE boTh gUn OwnErs.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom fulfilled his vow and signed legislation banning AI-powered ‘deepfake’ videos ahead of the 2024 election. “Manipulating a voice in an ‘ad’ like this one should be illegal. I’ll be signing a bill in a matter of weeks to make sure it is,” Newsom previously said. “I just signed a bill to make this illegal in the state of California. You can no longer knowingly distribute an ad or other election communications that contain materially deceptive content — including deepfakes,” the Democrat governor announced Tuesday.

It also allows courts to stop distribution of the materials and impose civil penalties. “Safeguarding the integrity of elections is essential to democracy, and it’s critical that we ensure AI is not deployed to undermine the public’s trust through disinformation -– especially in today’s fraught political climate,” Newsom said in a statement. “These measures will help to combat the harmful use of deepfakes in political ads and other content, one of several areas in which the state is being proactive to foster transparent and trustworthy AI.” Large social media platforms are also required to remove the deceptive material under a first-in-the-nation law set to be enacted next year. Newsom also signed a bill requiring political campaigns to publicly disclose if they are running ads with materials altered by AI. “The governor of California just made this parody video illegal in violation of the Constitution of the United States,” Elon Musk commented, referencing a viral Kamala Harris ad parody. “Would be a shame if it went viral,” he added. The parody video, posted in July by Mr Reagan, has 47 million views on X at the time of writing.

It’s mixed in with a real viral clip of Harris giving a speech where she gives a rambling speech about the significance of the passage of time. X allows parody accounts, so long as they distinguish themselves as such “in their account name and in their bio,” per the company’s website. The platform does not have rules around individual posts containing parody and has been known to label deepfakes if the poster does not do so. The Harris deepfake video is captioned: “Kamala Harris Campaign Ad PARODY.” Musk shared the video in July and then Newsom said he would outlaw such videos in the Golden State.
