Cringe California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing scrutiny over a viral Atlanta appearance and a separate podcast remark in which he said he has “no clue” where his own birth certificate is.

During a recent book-tour event at Atlanta’s Rialto Center for the Arts before a largely Black audience, Newsom said he scored 960 on the SAT and told the crowd, “you’ve never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech,” framing the line in the context of his self proclaimed “dyslexia”.

He attempted to present it as self-deprecating, saying he was “not trying to impress” anyone and was “no better” than the audience, but conservative critics online paraphrased it as Newsom telling Black voters he “can’t read.”

The clip raced across X after being posted by right-leaning accounts, drawing high-profile backlash from users including rapper Nicki Minaj, who called the remarks racist and wrote that his way of “bonding with black ppl is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can’t read.”

Fox News host Sean Hannity reposted the video with a caption saying “@GavinNewsom Thinks a 960 SAT Makes Him ‘Like’ Black Americans. Let That Sink In.”

Newsom responded with a profanity-laced post on X accusing Hannity of ignoring Donald Trump’s alleged history of “racist comments” while feigning concern over Newsom’s remarks, and he dismissed the controversy as “MAGA-manufactured outrage” over his struggle with dyslexia.

Separately, on his “This Is Gavin Newsom” podcast in a discussion of the Republican-backed SAVE Act’s documentary-proof requirements, Newsom argued that finding a birth certificate can be a real hurdle for voters and remarked, “If you know where yours is, I have no clue where mine is,” while noting that many people instead would need a passport.

He likened such documentation rules to modern-day “Jim Crow” measures and highlighted that a large share of Black Americans do not have passports, typical leftist talking points that degrade Americans.

Let’s cut to the chase.

If you’re confused about what’s happening with the economy right now, you’re not alone. And more importantly — you’re not wrong.

Markets up 600 points one day. Down 500 the next. The Fed says rates are on hold, then hints at cuts, then… who knows.

Inflation numbers get “revised” every other month. Your 401(k) balance looks okay, but everything costs more.

Nobody can give you a straight answer.

Here’s What They’re Not Telling You About Protecting Your Retirement

The economy is more confusing now than it’s been in decades. And that confusion isn’t going away.

While most Americans sit confused, informed investors are quietly taking action.

You can either wait to figure this out on your own — or you can get the inside truth right now.

Here’s What’s Really Happening

You did everything right. Worked hard. Saved responsibly. Played by the rules.

But while you were doing that, the rules changed.

Your retirement sits in paper assets — stocks, bonds, cash — all tied to the dollar.

And those dollars are buying less every single month.

What cost you $100,000 five years ago now costs $122,000. That’s not your 401(k) going down. That’s your dollars losing value.

Your account balance looks fine. Your actual purchasing power? Quietly shrinking.

Many Americans don’t realize there are IRS-approved ways to hold physical gold inside certain retirement accounts — and the full step-by-step breakdown is explained clearly inside this free educational guide.

✓ Can’t be printed by central banks
✓ Can’t be manipulated by politicians
✓ Can’t be devalued by policy decisions
✓ Has preserved wealth through every currency crisis in history

Why Gold? Why Now?

Physical gold has one critical advantage:

It exists OUTSIDE the dollar system causing all this chaos.

When dollars lose value, gold holds. When paper assets tank, gold endures. When governments print money they don’t have, gold protects.

It’s not speculation. It’s 5,000 years of history.

You can hold physical gold inside your retirement account.

No penalties. No distributions. No taxes on the transfer.

It’s called a gold IRA, and it’s completely legal. But most financial advisors never mention it — because they make money keeping you in paper assets.

That’s the inside truth they don’t want you to know.

What Informed Investors Are Doing Differently

The post The Economy Makes No Sense Right Now — And That’s Exactly the Point appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Congressman Riley M. Moore joined members of the House Committees on Appropriations and Foreign Affairs at the White House to present a report proposing actions to end the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and address rising extremist violence.

The meeting followed President Trump’s October 31, 2025, redesignation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. Christian activists had urged the Biden administration for years to restore the designation, a classification for nations where religious freedom is threatened and which can trigger sanctions.

President Trump originally placed Nigeria on the list during his first term, but the Biden administration removed it in 2021. That year’s State Department religious freedom report noted mass killings of both Christians and Muslims and did not identify Christians as a singular target. Trump’s return to office created a new opportunity for activists seeking redesignation.

At the press conference announcing the move, President Trump said, “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands and thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. That is a legal definition.” Referring to global figures, he added, “Whether Christians or any such group are slaughtered like in Nigeria, 3,100 versus 4,476 worldwide. What horrible numbers!”

At the same event, he asked Congressman Riley Moore and Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole to lead an investigation into persecution against Christian communities, “and report back to me,” he said, taking ownership of the investigation and the policies that would follow. Unlike previous presidents, Trump demanded the work be done expeditiously, saying, “And I mean like immediately.” He added that the United States cannot stand by while such atrocities occur in Nigeria and elsewhere.

He said persecution was increasing “all over” and confirmed, “We stand ready, willing, and able to save our great Christian population around the world. This is not going to happen. The killing of Christians is not going to happen.”

In a statement, Moore thanked President Trump for the redesignation, saying the investigation provided a clear picture of the threat environment and the persecution Christians face.

Moore and Cole’s investigation resulted in a report issued by the House Appropriations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The findings state that Nigeria is the deadliest place in the world to be a Christian, citing attacks by Fulani militias and terrorist groups that have resulted in tens of thousands of deaths, the destruction of churches and schools, kidnappings, and the targeting of Christians through blasphemy laws.

The report outlines congressional efforts to end persecution and address regional instability through accountability measures, counterterrorism initiatives, and coordination with the Nigerian government to improve security. It argues that President Trump’s action and increased congressional attention create an opportunity for change but stresses that Nigeria must demonstrate political will, commit its own resources, strengthen its relationship with the United States, and take concrete steps to eliminate violence against Christians.

The document recommends establishing a bilateral U.S.–Nigeria security agreement to protect vulnerable Christian communities, dismantle jihadist networks, and counter adversaries, including the CCP and the Russian Federation. It calls for withholding certain U.S. funds until Nigeria takes demonstrable action, imposing sanctions and visa restrictions on those responsible for religious persecution, repealing Sharia and blasphemy laws, and coordinating with international partners such as France, Hungary, and the United Kingdom.

Proposed commitments from Nigeria include co-funding humanitarian assistance, prioritizing Internally Displaced Persons in the Middle Belt, strengthening early-warning systems and rapid response measures, holding officials accountable for ignoring warnings, and removing Fulani militias from confiscated farmland to allow displaced communities to return home and restore agricultural productivity.

They also include replacing Russian military equipment with American systems, expanding security cooperation with the United States, and implementing demobilization and disarmament programs to counter armed Fulani militias and Foreign Terrorist Organizations, including those linked to Chinese illegal mining operations.

The report urges implementation of the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act of 2026 to advance accountability and priority reforms. It calls for requiring proof of progress before releasing additional funds, strengthening religious freedom protections, reforming the criminal justice sector, enhancing anti-money laundering efforts, disrupting terrorist financing, and safeguarding Nigeria’s financial system.

It also supports U.S. Development Finance Corporation investment in the Middle Belt, a GAO audit on aid effectiveness, and public use of CPC Presidential Directives to name perpetrators of violence. Additional measures include sanctions and visa restrictions on those involved in persecution, repeal of Sharia codes and anti-blasphemy laws, and economic leverage to compel Fulani herdsmen to disarm.

The report further recommends adequate diplomatic staffing, streamlining Foreign Military Sales, requiring a National Intelligence Estimate on sectarian violence, reviewing potential terrorist designations for Fulani militia groups, and continued coordination with France, Hungary, and the United Kingdom.
