Vice President J.D. Vance is traveling to Los Angeles Friday to meet with Marines and officials supporting President Donald Trump’s illegal immigration enforcement actions in southern California. Vance is also scheduled to headline a Republican fundraising retreat.

The visit comes a day after the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a stay by a rogue district court judge barring President Trump from federalizing California National Guard troops to protect federal officers and property from pro-illegal immigration rioters in a lawsuit brought by California Governor Gavin Newsom (D).

Vance’s office issued a press release Friday morning announcing the trip. Times and locations were not announced, likely for security reasons after two weeks of violent protests that prompted Mayor Karen Bass (D) to impose a curfew in downtown L.A. that was lifted this Tuesday:

Vice President JD Vance to Visit Los Angeles, California

Today, June 20, 2025, Vice President JD Vance will travel to Los Angeles, California, where he will tour a multi-agency Federal Joint Operations Center, a Federal Mobile Command Center, meet with leadership and Marines, and deliver brief remarks.

NOTUS (via the Times of San Diego) reported on the fundraiser part of Vance’s trip (excerpt):

Vice President JD Vance’s trip to Los Angeles on Friday will have two purposes. First, Vance will meet with federal officials and Marines who are on the ground pushing back against protests in the city, and later, he will speak at the Republican National Committee’s annual Summer Retreat, according to an invitation obtained by NOTUS.

Vance, who has emerged as the main fundraiser for the Republican Party since ascending to the vice presidency earlier this year, will also make a separate fundraising stop in California this week for another event.

Contributions for the Summer Retreat event ranged from $15,000 to $445,000, according to a source familiar with the matter.

…In March, Vance was named the RNC’s finance chair, and he has emerged as a key fundraiser for the GOP. He’s hosted multiple large-dollar events and brought in millions for Republicans.

NOTUS reporter Reese Gorman posted a copy of the fundraiser invitation. The RNC retreat runs Friday through Sunday:

Vance Boelter, the suspect in the horrific shootings of state lawmakers, has pointed the finger at far-left Governor Tim Walz in a chilling handwritten “confession letter” addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the investigation confirmed to Alpha News that Boelter’s letter explicitly blames Walz’s radical policies and inflammatory rhetoric for driving him to commit the murderous rampage.

Boelter, 57, is accused of gunning down former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a cold-blooded attack in Brooklyn Park, while also gravely wounding State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in Champlin.

The shootings, described by authorities as a “politically motivated assassination,” triggered the largest manhunt in Minnesota’s history, culminating in Boelter’s arrest in a field near his Green Isle home.

According to Alpha News, the handwritten letter was discovered inside a Buick that Boelter purchased for $900 just hours after the shootings.

The letter, penned by “Dr. Vance Luther Boelter,” not only confesses to the heinous crimes but also lays the blame at the feet of Governor Walz.

Boelter was appointed by Walz in 2019 to serve on the Governor’s Workforce Development Board, but also leads an international security firm.

Authorities launched a large-scale manhunt after Boelter, disguised as a police officer, fatally shot former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and wounded State Senator John Hoffman and his wife in their homes.

Boelter was arrested late Sunday night.

During the investigation, police allegedly discovered a hit list in Boelter’s imposter-police SUV. That list contained roughly 70 names — among them Gov. Tim Walz, Sen. Tina Smith, abortion providers, and radical Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

However, Senator John Hoffman’s name is nowhere to be found on the “hit list.” Second, former Minnesota senator Kari Dziedzic, who died from cancer in December, appears on the list. Why would Boelter target someone already dead?

Journalist Dustin Grage also noted several other oddities: the list contains the whip counts for the previous Minnesota state legislature, not the current one. Moreover, one person is listed twice, and former Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman is listed despite being out of office for over two years.

According to CNN:

• Law enforcement sources found a cache of additional weapons inside the suspect’s car, suggesting he was prepared for more attacks or confrontations.

• A large amount of ammunition was discovered, along with a Father’s Day card, presumably addressed to the suspect.

• Authorities also recovered a manifesto outlining the suspect’s grievances.

• A hit list of approximately 70 names was found, including:

  • Numerous Minnesota state legislators

  • Mayors

  • Medical clinics, including abortion providers and pro-life advocates

  • Locations and individuals from out of state

• The motive appears to involve carrying out multiple attacks or assassinations until stopped by law enforcement.

• Police preemptively reached the suspect’s second target location, encountering and exchanging gunfire with him.

• The suspect then fled on foot, abandoning his car, weapons cache, and part of his plan.

• He was reportedly wearing a tactical vest or body armor; it’s unclear if he was wounded.

Chaos once again erupted at a New York City courthouse on Friday as ICE agents arrested an illegal alien at the Ted Weiss Federal Building.

A Democrat city councilwoman tried to block ICE agents from taking an illegal alien into custody.

Far-left ‘queer’ Councilwoman Tiffany Caban was almost arrested after she tried to block federal agents from removing an illegal alien.

Tiffany Caban was pushed back by federal agents as they escorted an illegal alien out of the courthouse.

NYC Comptroller and Mayoral candidate Brad Lander, who was arrested by ICE earlier this week for obstructing ICE agents, was also present at the courthouse on Friday.

Brad Lander shouted at federal agents earlier this week after he was cuffed and escorted out of the building.

“You don’t have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens asking for a judicial warrant!” Lander shouted.

DHS stood by their decision to detain Lander.

“Our heroic ICE law enforcement officers face a 413% increase in assaults against them-it is wrong that politicians seeking higher office undermine law enforcement safety to get a viral moment,” the DHS spokesperson said. “No one is above the law, and if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will face consequences.”

Brad Lander and Tiffany Caban whined about the ICE raids to reporters outside of the courthouse on Friday.

Lander seems very frustrated with what happened in court today.

By Wayne Allyn Root

Say it out loud. Say it with pride. Repeat after me…

The 2020 election was stolen.

I’ve known this for five years. You’ve known this for five years. I’ve said all along, the key to President Trump second term is PROVING it. That is what just happened. The evidence has been found. What happens next will change everything.

FBI Director Kash Patel has forwarded documents hidden by the FBI on a Chinese plot to steal the 2020 election by mass producing fake Voter ID, to allow fraudulent mail-in voting by illegal aliens- including Chinese nationals in the U.S.

So, let’s take this apart point by point…

First, why was the news of this plot, and the documents and testimonials, hidden by the FBI and DOJ? That alone tells the story. Why would you hide something, if it never happened? You’d only hide it, if it’s true and incriminating.

Second, why did the FBI Director, Attorney General and other government officials claim again and again that the election was 100% secure, and they knew of no attempts to steal the election? Why did they lie? You’d only lie if China stole the election, and you were part of the conspiracy.

Third, if this was merely a failed attempt by China to steal the election and it was stopped by the FBI, they wouldn’t have hidden it. They would have bragged endlessly about it. It would have been used to prove how great the FBI is…what a savior they are…how brilliant they are…how they saved the day…how government is always protecting us…and safeguarding our elections.

But none of that happened. Instead, the FBI hid the documents. And that tells you everything. It happened, and the FBI needed to cover it up. Because they were part of the steal.

The main culprit in this conspiracy was China and the CCP. This makes perfect sense. They had the most to gain by defeating President Trump- who was winning the trade war. Trillions of dollars were on the line. Economic dominance was on the line.

This was China’s chance to defeat and embarrass President Trump…to reverse Trump’s trade war victory…cripple America’s economy…and most importantly, leapfrog over America to become the world’s dominant superpower.

And of course, China and the Democrat Party were in this evil, wicked conspiracy together. Thick as thieves.

Stealing the 2020 election was tied to so many other conspiracies.

First, “Biden’s brain” (or lack thereof). In order to accomplish the steal, Democrats had to hide Biden’s deteriorating mental state. They used the excuse of Covid to hide Biden in his Delaware basement for the whole campaign.

Which brings up yet another conspiracy- the actual Covid pandemic.

Was the entire Covid pandemic intentionally released by China, in conspiracy with Democrats and Dr. Fauci, in order to steal the election? Fauci used your tax dollars to fund the Covid virus research- he literally paid to create Covid. Then Fauci lied and exaggerated repeatedly about the dangers of Covid. He literally made up the entire response to Covid- lockdowns, masks, social distancing. It was all fraud that paralyzed the nation and killed the Trump economy.

It made it easy to steal the election by distracting the American people, destroying Trump’s economy, scaring to death millions of voters, hiding their candidate (brain dead Joe Biden), changing the voting rules- thereby making it easy to commit voter fraud, making it easy for illegal aliens to vote, and making it easy to submit millions of fake ballots once the vote counting was stopped for the night in key battleground states.

Then of course, this stolen election allowed Democrats to control the economy, the budget, and all government contracts. Democrats then proceeded to loot the treasury.

They gave billions to green energy companies. Billions wasted on climate change. Billions given to Democrat voters with welfare, food stamps and a thousand other government programs. Billions given to NGOs and non-profits run by Stacey Abrams and George Soros.

But wait, there’s more.

The stolen election allowed Democrats to open the border- to carry out the intentional destruction of America. This is what allowed them to welcome in over 20 million illegal aliens- who would vote Democrat forever more. Which would turn America into a one-party socialist state.

The stolen election allowed Democrats to insert their social justice, DEI and transgender agenda into all aspects of our society- colleges, corporations, government, even the military.

The stolen election put Democrats in control of the “Censorship Industrial Complex”- allowing them to censor, silence, ban, demonize and persecute conservatives and critics of all kinds.

The stolen election allowed Democrats to weaponize government to persecute President Trump and his allies. They tried to bankrupt him, demonize him, and send Trump to prison for life.

With Trump out of the way, and MAGA voters demoralized, no Republican would ever win again, and therefore no one would ever investigate the stolen election.

Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, the stolen election allowed Biden and whoever controlled Biden (I’m guessing Obama and Soros) to mandate the Covid vaccine, thereby forcing millions of Americans to be vaccinated against their will. Then after the fact, they used the media to cover up all the deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccine disaster.

Why? Because everyone involved made hundreds of billions of dollars in bribes and stock profits. Including the media who carried out the cover-up to perfection.

Now it’s up to President Trump to name a Special Prosecutor to bring everyone involved in the stolen 2020 election, and the many crimes and conspiracies tied to it, to justice.

The Democrat brand will be poisoned and destroyed forever more.

And most importantly, we must put systems in place to ensure that no election can ever be stolen again.

A so-called judge has once again subverted the rule of law and potentially endangered the public due to hatred of President Trump.

As The New York Times reported, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday to release pro-Hamas student activist Mahmoud Khalil on bail. At this time, he is the only ‘major’ anti-Israel agitator demonstrator in America remaining in confinement.

U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz, an appointee of Joe Biden, issued the ruling.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Farbiarz ruled that the Trump administration could not deport Mahmoud Khalil, who was a graduate student at Columbia University before being detained.

Back in March, The Gateway Pundit reported that Trump’s ICE agents arrested Khalil, who led anti-Israel protests at Columbia and Barnard College.

He was set to be deported after being detained and taken into custody by ICE. The State Department had also issued an edict revoking his student visa and green card.

But U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman, an Obama appointee, slammed the brakes on the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Khalil.

He declared in his ruling that Khalil “shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise.”

Khalil completed his undergraduate degree in Beirut, Lebanon, and worked for UNRWA through 2023, a UN agency infiltrated by Hamas.

UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, received $1 billion from Joe Biden when he was president.

Reports indicate that at least 12 UNRWA staffers took part in the mass slaughter of innocent Jews during the October 7 terrorist attacks in Israel.

Khalil had also threatened Columbia in the past, saying, “As long as Columbia continues to invest and to benefit from Israeli apartheid, the students will continue to resist.”

Then he had more ominous words: “Not only protests and encampments, the limit is the sky.”
