Newsom finally hits boiling point after pouring billions of dollars into spiraling state crisis

Blue state Gov. Gavin Newsom took to the streets of California to clean up trash left behind by homeless encampments Thursday, threatening municipalities that if they do not clean up encampments they’ll lose state funding next year.

A frustrated Newsom was seen picking up trash from a cleared encampment in Los Angeles — one of the largest hubs in the state for homeless people living outdoors — alongside the California Department of Transportation. California’s homelessness accounts for roughly one-third of the country’s crisis. 

“I want to see results,” Newsom told reporters Thursday. “I don’t want to read about them. I don’t want to see the data. I want to see it.”

GOV NEWSOM ORDERS HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS TORN DOWN ACROSS CALIFORNIA: ‘NO MORE EXCUSES’

Homelessness has skyrocketed in the Golden State under Newsom’s leadership. According to the 2024 point-in-time count, which provides a snapshot of homelessness on a given night, the number of homeless individuals in California increased to approximately 172,000. This represented an increse from the estimated 131,000 homeless individuals counted in 2018, the year Newsom took office.

Thursday’s announcement was a continuation of Newsom’s increasing efforts to urge local governments to conduct more sweeps of homeless encampments after the Supreme Court ruled governments can force people out of encampments. Last month, Newsom directed state agencies to begin clearing encampments from state property and has been pushing local officials to follow suit.

“We’re done with the excuses,” Newsom told reporters. “The last big excuse was, ‘Well, the courts are saying we can’t do anything.’ Well, that’s no longer the case, so we had a simple executive order: Do your job. … You’ve got the money, you’ve got the flexibility, you’ve got the green light, you’ve got the support from the state and the public is demanding it of you.”

But some local leaders don’t agree with Newsom’s approach. In a statement to ABC7 News, LA County officials said in part, “New bed capacity needs to be built to accommodate a population of patients who will require locked facilities when held for treatment involuntarily.

“Without first taking those steps, the work of moving people off the streets for their own health and safety would fail,” the statement continued. “This does not mean LA County is standing still. Our Pathway Home encampment resolution program already has moved hundreds of people inside as we have also extensively supported the City of LA’s Inside Safe program that has sheltered thousands of others.”

Kathryn Barger, an LA County supervisor, told the news outlet she “would love to explain to the governor what we are doing because we are.”

“I’m not going to criticize the fact that he issued that order because, actually, I support what he wants to do. My goal is to have us all in the same direction. You can go in and clear the encampment, but if you don’t coordinate with the different jurisdictions around you, you’re simply moving that problem,” she said. 

Earlier this year, Newsom’s administration blamed counties and cities after a state audit report found his own homelessness task force failed to track how billions of dollars have been spent trying to tackle the crisis in the last five years. 

At the time, a senior spokesperson for the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (CICH), which coordinates homeless programs across the state, told Fox News Digital the audit’s findings “highlight the significant progress made in recent years to address homelessness at the state level, including the completion of a statewide assessment of homelessness programs.”

Over the past five years, the CICH didn’t consistently track whether the money actually improved the situation, the audit concluded.

The spokesperson added local governments “are primarily responsible for implementing these programs and collecting data on outcomes that the state can use to evaluate program effectiveness.”

Since 2016, California has spent over $25 billion on homelessness. This includes state, local and federal funding allocated toward boosting the state’s “Housing First” ideology through various programs, which prioritizes placing people in housing first before addressing mental illness or substance abuse problems. 

The Housing First model began in 2016 through SB 1380. Authored by Democratic state Sen. Ed Hernandez, the bill expanded state resources for permanent housing to homeless individuals without requirements like sobriety or employment.

In a response to Fox News Digital’s request for comment, a spokesperson for Newsom referred to Thursday’s news conference and provided a statement.

“The State of California’s doing more than ever. We’ll continue to do more. But this will be my final words on this: If we don’t see demonstrable results, I’ll start to redirect money. I’m not interested in status quo any longer. And that will start in January with the January budget. We’ve been providing the support to local government that embraces those efforts and focuses on a sense of urgency — and we’re going to double down. If local government is not interested, we’ll redirect the money to parts of the state, cities and counties that are.”

Workers embrace Trump over ‘awesome’ campaign pledge just as Harris comes to town

While Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz prepared for a campaign rally Saturday in Las Vegas on the city’s famed Vegas Strip, rideshare drivers collectively voiced their support for former President Trump’s plan to end taxation of gratuities.

In June, Trump announced he would enact a no-tax-on-tips policy for employees geared toward those who rely on them for a large part of their income, like cabbies, lodging industry workers and waitstaff.

“[F]or those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy, because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips. … It’s been a point of contention for years and years and years, and you do a great job of service, you take care of people and I think it’s going to be something that really is deserved,” Trump said at the time.

Trump’s announcement came around the same time senators Ted Cruz, R-Texas; Steve Daines, R-Mont; Rick Scott, R-Fla.; and Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., co-sponsored the “No Tax on Tips Act.” 

NORQUIST: ALL THE REASONS TRUMP’S TAX-FREE TIPS PLAN IS BRILLIANT

Busy Vegas rideshare drivers, who declined to give last names or requested anonymity, told Fox News Digital they’re likely voting for the Trump after his “no-tax-on-tips” pledge.

Reed, a registered Democrat who said he will be voting for Trump this fall, said the plan is just one more reason he looks forward to pulling the lever for the former president.

“On a personal level, that would be wonderful — that’s terrific,” Reed said as he drove west on Tropicana Boulevard toward the New York, New York resort.

Reed added that a friend of his is also a service industry worker who relies on tips for nearly half her annual compensation. The woman was previously “not a Trump supporter or fan in any way,” he said. 

“Until he made the comment about ‘no tax on tips.’ … Now, she’s willing to vote for Trump on that one subject alone.”

Michael, who was waiting for a passenger at a nearby casino, called the plan “awesome.”

“I’m a registered independent,” Michael said. “And [Trump] is going to get my vote.”

Another driver, who declined to give his name, called the plan “really good.”

“I don’t like what that politician, [President] Biden, is doing. Everything is expensive,” he said, adding that, in addition to gratuity taxes, spiking gasoline prices have hurt his bottom line.

He added that expenses like gasoline and taxes eat into the take-home pay he gets after his rideshare employer also takes its cut. 

Ruiz, an immigrant from Cuba, said his “overhead costs” have increased in recent years and that he would support the policy.

Adanis, speaking in Spanish, said the policy would be “better for me,” adding he hopes the next president will bring down gas prices too.

He echoed other drivers’ concerns that between taxes, fuel and maintenance costs and rideshare companies’ slice of the fiscal pie, it is becoming increasingly difficult to make sufficient money in his line of work.

Another driver had a similar contention, remarking that the increasing cost of rideshares overall is pushing people toward cheaper, subsidized but slower mass transit options.

Officials identify pilot of doomed Brazil flight as 35-year-old, discover black box

The pilot who manned the aircraft that plummeted to the ground, killing all 62 people onboard, has been identified as the investigation continues into the South American air disaster. 

Capt. Danilo Santos Romano, 35, was the first victim identified after the fiery crash Friday in Brazil, Dario Pacheco, the mayor of the city of Vinhedo in São Paulo, said.

According to Romano’s LinkedIn profile, he had over 10 years of aviation experience and worked for the Voepass Linhas airline since June 2023.

Romano was certified by both the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the U.S., his LinkedIn said.

PASSENGER PLANE CRASHES IN BRAZIL, KILLING ALL 62 PEOPLE ON BOARD, AIRLINE VOEPASS SAYS

The experienced pilot was in the cockpit when the ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop crashed into a residential area in the city of Vinhedo.

All 62 people aboard died in the fiery crash, local authorities and the airline said.

All the bodies are being moved to São Paulo’s police morgue, officials said during a press conference after the crash. 

“Once all this evidence has been collected, we will remove the victims from the wreckage and place them in the vehicle to be transported to São Paulo,” Firefighter Maycon Cristo said at the crash site.

Four people with dual citizenship were among the victims — three Venezuelans and one Portuguese woman, the regional airline, Voepass, said.

The Venezuelans were identified as a 4-year-old boy, his mother and grandmother, Reuters reported, citing local outlet GloboNews.

Footage of the deadly crash showed the plane drifting downward vertically, spiraling as it fell. 

The wreckage site showed the obliterated plane fuselage in the residential neighborhood of Vinhedo, which is outside the city of São Paulo.

The plane’s black box was found early on Saturday morning, federal authorities said.

There is no confirmation of how the accident happened, the airline said. Brazil’s aviation agency said in a statement it will be investigating.

Teacher pension fund under Walz accused of cooking the books, investigator digs in

A leading pension investigator claims that under Minnesota Gov. Tim WalzVice President Kamala Harris’ recently tapped running mate pick — the state’s public school teachers’ retirement system is manipulating financial reports by significantly understating annual fees paid to Wall Street investment managers, and showing unrealistically high returns, the New York Post first reported.

Edward Siedle, an independent pension investigator, alleges that the state-run Teachers Retirement Association (TRA) has only revealed less than 10% of the $2.9 billion in fees it spent over the last decade. He also criticized TRA for reporting gains that barely exceed its own benchmarks by 0.2%, which he described to The Post as “virtually impossible.”

“Even Bernie Madoff didn’t claim to beat the market every single year — and certainly not by the exact same percentage,” Siedle said, and called the TRA performance a “Madoff miracle under Walz’s watch.”

The late financier Madoff orchestrated the largest investment fraud in Wall Street history, and pleaded guilty in 2009 to running a Ponzi scheme that swindled thousands out of their life savings.

JD VANCE ACCUSES TIM WALZ OF ‘LYING’ ABOUT MILITARY SERVICE: ‘STOLEN VALOR GARBAGE’

Walz, who has been serving as chairman of the Minnesota State Retirement System since January 2019, oversees $140 billion in state employee funds, including $28.2 billion for teachers, the outlet reported.

“I don’t know if the man had any pre-existing knowledge of finance or pensions, but as chairman, he should have educated himself,” Siedle said. “Pension board members have a fiduciary duty to monitor fees, and to ensure that the investments’ performance is accurately disclosed.”

Katie Dickerson, a teacher nearing retirement, testified in February that despite high contribution rates, there have been no improvements to the retirement system, leading to extended work years and significant penalties for early retirement. 

“Not only do we have a high contribution rate to TRA, but we . . . are forced to work many more years unless we are willing to be hit with huge penalties,” Dickerson reportedly told the Minnesota’s Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement.

VP KAMALA HARRIS PICKING GOV. TIM WALZ AS RUNNING MATE MET WITH MEDIA SCORN: ‘SUCH A WEIRD CHOICE’

For FY 2023, the TRA reported an 8.9% return and $24.19 million in management fees. But Siedle estimates actual fees to be between $334 million and $467 million, or 5% to 7% of TRA’s private assets. Even a 1% fee would total $280 million — over 10 times the reported amount. Siedle’s requests for investment documents have not yet been fulfilled by the TRA or state agencies.

Siedle’s report notes that the Minnesota attorney general and state auditors, who typically investigate such issues, are on the same state pension board chaired by Walz. Consequently, Siedle filed a whistleblower complaint with the SEC and FBI in July, according to The Post.

Team USA’s bronze medal winner Jordan Chiles bumped to fifth place amid controversy

American gymnast Jordan Chiles may lose her Olympic bronze medal, which she won in the women’s floor exercise final. 

The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that the judging panel at the event had improperly granted an inquiry that increased Chiles’ score, which moved her into bronze medal position over Romania’s Ana Barbosu. The Switzerland-based court ruled that the appeal had been submitted past the one-minute deadline for inquiries and therefore should not have been granted.

Barbosu had initially clinched the bronze medal for floor on Monday and began celebrating on the mat. But then U.S. coaches appealed to judges over Chiles’ score, and a review resulted in a 0.1-point increase, which moved Chiles ahead of Barbosu for the bronze medal.

But the Court of Arbitration has now said that Chiles should have received a score of 13.666 in the event, which would’ve placed her fifth, just shy of the Olympic podium. 

USA Gymnastics and USOPCE said in a statement that they were “devastated” by the ruling.

“Throughout the appeal process, Jordan has been subject to consistent, utterly baseless and extremely hurtful attacks on social media. No athlete should be subject to such treatment. We condemn the attacks and those who engage, support or instigate them. We commend Jordan for conducting herself with integrity both on and off the competition floor, and we continue to stand by and support her.”

The CAS said it was up to the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) to decide who will get the medal. 

Later on Saturday, the FIG announced that Chiles original score of 13.666 was reinstated and she was bumped back down to fifth place, while Barbosa jumped back up to third place with a score 13.766. The announcement did not specify the status of Chiles’ medal. 

Chiles posted a series of emotional stories on Instagram Saturday in response to the ruling, including one that showed a series of broken heart emojis, and another that included her announcement that she would be leaving social media. 

“I am taking this time and removing myself from social media for my mental health,” Chiles wrote. 

OLYMPIC LEGEND NADIA COMANECI SLAMS JUDGES OVER CONTROVERSIAL SCORE CHANGE IN FLOOR EXERCISE

Chiles teammate Suni Lee criticized the judges who had made the erroneous decision, in her own Instagram Stories on Saturday. 

“All this talk about the athlete, what about the judges?? Completely unacceptable, this is awful and I’m gutted for Jordan,” Lee wrote. “I got your back forever Joe, you have all my flowers and you will always be an Olympic champion. 

If Chiles is stripped of her medal, she will become only the third gymnast in history to have an Olympic medal stripped. The other two were China’s Dong Fangxiao and Romania’s Andreea Răducan, both of whom lost their medals from the 2000 Sydney Olympics. 

Răducan’s individual all-around gold medal was stripped after testing positive for a banned substance from cold-medicine pills given to her by a team doctor. China’s team all-around bronze was stripped after it was discovered Dong was just 14 years old in Sydney, which is two years too young to compete. 

Chiles’ bronze resulted in the floor final’s podium being the first Olympic gymnastics podium in history to have three Black medalists. 

Chiles joined U.S. teammate Simone Biles, who won silver, and Brazil’s Rebecca Andrade, who won gold. The moment came with a signifying image at the podium, when Biles, 27, and Chiles, 23, bowed on both sides of their Brazilian opponent Andrade, 25, who had raised her fists in celebration. 

Meanwhile, Barbosu was holding a Romanian flag when she looked up and saw the scoring change on the board. Just then, she dropped the flag, covered her face with her hands and walked away in tears.

The initial ruling resulted in a wave of backlash. Gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci condemned the score change on social media, and Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu said on Tuesday that he will boycott the Paris Olympics’ closing ceremony over the scoring decision.

The Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee announced on Wednesday that it would be appealing the decision.

After facing criticism, King Charles breaks his silence on unrest gripping United Kingdom

King Charles III on Friday lauded the “resilience” of many that overshadowed the “aggression” and “criminality” of a smaller number of people amid some of the worst unrest in the United Kingdom’s history, Buckingham Palace said.

The king has been criticized for not speaking out sooner against the riots that began after three young girls were killed in a stabbing attack on July 29, in a town near Liverpool and misinformation spread on social media following the murders and an arrest. 

The king and the royal family are currently in Scotland for their annual summer holiday. 

“The king shared how he had been greatly encouraged by the many examples of community spirit that had countered the aggression and criminality from a few with the compassion and resilience of the many,” the palace said in a statement. “It remains his majesty’s hope that shared values of mutual respect and understanding will continue to strengthen and unite the nation.”

UK GOVERNMENT WARNS ‘THINK BEFORE YOU POST’ AMID THREATS TO ARREST CITIZENS FOR OFFENSIVE RHETORIC ON SOCIALS 

Charles also gave his “heartfelt thanks to the police and emergency services for all they are doing to restore peace in those areas that have been affected by violent disorder,” the palace added, according to BBC News.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday said that a “standing army” of specialist police would be set up to deal with rioting and that the justice system would be ramped up to deal with hundreds of arrests after violent disorder rocked cities across the nation over the past week.

“Whatever the apparent motivation, this is not protest, it is pure violence, and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our Muslim communities,” Starmer said on Monday. “The full force of law will be visited on all those who are identified as having taken part.”

Riots and protests involving hundreds of people have created chaos in towns and cities across the country, with dozens of police officers hospitalized after being struck with bricks, bottles, chairs and large wooden posts.

False social media posts claimed that the suspected attacker was a radical Islamist who had recently arrived in Britain. Police, however, identified the attacker as 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, who was born in Wales to Rwandan parents, and said authorities are not treating the incident as terror-related.

BRITAIN REMAINS ON ALERT FOR FURTHER UNREST, EVEN AFTER ANTI-RACISM CAMPAIGNERS FACE DOWN FAR-RIGHT

Earlier this week, Kate Williams, a professor of public engagement with history at Reading University told Times Radio: “This would be a moment for the King to talk about multiculturalism, the Commonwealth, people coming together, and I think that if I were advising him I would suggest making that statement sooner [rather] than later.”

She added, “We are in crisis times… this is an outbreak of violence that’s getting worse, it’s not abating. And we are seeing that people are terrified. There are cities tonight that are going to be gripped by this racist violence, by this anti-Islamic violence. It’s just terrible, and I think this is the moment where the monarchy does need to come out and say something.”

The king previously released a message on social media saying he and Queen Camilla were “profoundly shocked” over the murders.

“We send our most heartfelt condolences, prayers and deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones of those you have so tragically lost their lives and to all those affected by this truly appalling attack.”

Elsie Dot Stancombe, Bebe King and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, who were all between 6 and 9 years old, were murdered in the attack while attending a dance class in Southport, 17 miles north of Liverpool. Ten others were seriously injured.

The National Police Chiefs’ Council said some 741 people have been arrested in connection with the violence, including 304 who have been charged with criminal offenses.

American track icon unleashes on men’s team after major mishap: ‘Blow up the system’

American track star Noah Lyles missed the 4×100-meter relay due to COVID-19. While Team USA may have benefited from Lyles’ presence on the track for the relay event, a mishap ultimately ended the American men’s hopes of capturing gold in Paris Friday.

The U.S. men’s track and field team extended its medal drought in the men’s event to 20 years after a botched handoff in the first leg of the race led to a disqualification for the Americans

The team of Christian Coleman, Kenneth Bednarek, Kyree King and Fred Kerley finished the race in seventh place but was later disqualified after it was found Coleman handed off the baton to two-time silver medalist Bednarek outside the exchange zone.

Legendary track and field athlete and nine-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis has been in Paris to watch the 2024 Summer Games. He described Team USA’s performance on Friday as a “total embarrassment,” while also calling for some serious changes to U.S. track and field.

“It is time to blow up the system,” Lewis posted on X, formerly Twitter. “This continues to be completely unacceptable. It is clear that EVERYONE at [USA Track & Field] is more concerned with relationships than winning. No athlete should step on the track and run another relay until this program is changed from top to bottom.”

TEAM USA WINS GOLD IN MEN’S 4X400-METER RELAY AT PARIS OLYMPICS

Canada claimed the gold medal after finishing the race in 37.50 seconds, while South Africa earned silver. Great Britain won the bronze.

All of Team USA, except for Bednarek, spoke to reporters after the race. Coleman attributed the error to the team being caught up in the heat of the moment.

“We practiced a lot,” Coleman said. “Me and Kenny have been competitors but also teammates a few times. We felt really confident going out there. In the heat of the moment, it just didn’t happen.”

After being pressed to pinpoint what exactly caused the mishap, Coleman said, “I’m not sure if you want me to point fingers or something like that. As a team, as a unit, we didn’t get it done today.”

Coleman’s teammate, Kerley, seemed to take issue with the line of questioning and eventually interjected, “Y’all say the same s— over and over.”

The 2024 Summer Games are not the first at which the U.S. men’s team has had baton passing issues. 

At the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the Americans appeared to be on track to secure a spot in the 4×100 final until a mix-up led to the baton tumbling to the track as rain fell from the sky.

The Americans finished in second during the 2012 Games in London but were later stripped of the silver due to a doping case.

Although three Americans are among the top 11 100-meter sprinters in the world this year, the U.S. still could not manage to claim one of the three spots on the Olympic podium in Paris following the 4×100-meter relay.

However, the women provided a bright spot for the Americans as Sha’Carri Richardson anchored the 4×100-meter relay and helped lift Team USA to gold. The U.S. women have now earned 12 gold medals in the event.

FDA warns contaminated candy and snacks sold at big-box stores could cause death

Candy sold at Walmart, Target, Dollar General and other stores across the U.S. has been recalled due to the risk of salmonella poisoning.

“Palmer Candy Company, Sioux City, Iowa, is recalling its ‘White Coated Confectionary Items,’ because they have the potential to be contaminated with , an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” said the FDA in a May 6 announcement on its website.

Salmonella infection, or “salmonellosis,” is “a common bacterial disease that affects the intestinal track,” said the website for the Mayo Clinic. 

Salmonella bacteria live in the intestinal tracks of both humans and animals. Humans typically contract salmonella through water or food that has been contaminated by the bacteria. 

While some people who have salmonella infections do not have any symptoms, said the Mayo Clinic, most afflicted people have some sort of gastrointestinal distress, including diarrhea and stomach cramps, they said. 

“Most healthy people recover within a few days to a week without specific treatment,” said the Mayo Clinic, although the risks are higher among the elderly and young children.
