(Harbinger's Daily) In September, a musician named Patrick Cosmos wrote, “Working on a new unified theory of American reality I’m calling ‘everyone is twelve now.’” His words went viral, mostly as an attack on the Trump Administration. But the essential truth here is fully bipartisan. Americans are not only embracing the inner child, but glorifying immaturity. Films and television shows feature childish heroes who lack poise, self-control, and grace. Even our nation’s capital can seem like a nursery.

We should acknowledge that some negative aspects of our 12-year-old selves never disappear. But in normal adults, they should become muted and no longer control us. Also, I don’t want to disparage all 12-year-olds. Some are amazingly mature, kind, loving, and thoughtful.

(RedState) The indictment of Dana Williamson, the former Chief of Staff to California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), did more than generate headlines. It confirmed what voters already knew: corruption reaches deep into the highest levels of the state’s government.

Williamson was not a distant figure or a low-level operative. She sat at the very center of California’s executive branch, wielding extraordinary influence over policy, access, and decision-making - and serving as Newsom's enforcer against dissidents and political opponents.

That is why Assemblymember David Tangipa’s (R-8) AB 1560 matters.

(Live Action) California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday that he has rejected Louisiana's request to extradite Dr. Remy Coeytaux, who has been charged with illegal abortion pill trafficking in that state.

In a statement, Newsom cited his Executive Order N-12-22, which protects abortionists like Coeytaux who violate the laws in other states.

“Louisiana’s request is denied," Newsom said. "My position on this has been clear since 2022: We will not allow extremist politicians from other states to reach into California and try to punish doctors based on allegations that they provided reproductive health care services. Not today. Not ever."

(Washington Stand) With the U.S. border secure and the influx of illegal immigrants into the nation halted, the number of tragic drug overdose fatalities has sharply declined. According to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of drug overdose deaths fell by nearly 25% between August 2024 and August 2025, falling from nearly 91,000 in August 2024 to fewer than 70,000 in August 2025.

Drug overdose deaths began to climb rapidly when Joe Biden took office in January 2021, rising from nearly 95,000 to a peak of 111,466 in June 2023. Since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025 and immediately got to work securing the southern border, drug overdose deaths have fallen steeply.

(Washington Stand) For those who think politics is separate from religion, the latest outbreak of leftist misbehavior provides an opportunity to think again. Left-wing demonstrators disrupted a Christian worship service in St. Paul, Minn. on Sunday morning because one of the church’s lay elders happens to work for the federal government — specifically, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Cities Church is a Southern Baptist congregation that has been nestled between St. Paul and Minneapolis (the Twin Cities) for the past 75 years. It is currently engaged in an expositional sermon series through the Gospel of John, which shepherds the flock from prayers of confession through to their weekly observance of the Lord’s Supper. It was at this sacred juncture that irreverent intruders brought the worship service to a screeching halt.

“From the gospel of John, chapter 13,” announced the preacher, in words captured on the livestream of ex-CNN host Don Lemon (Lemon flew to Minneapolis to cover the anti-ICE protest in person, although he claims he did not know their target was a church).

(Harbinger's Daily) Simon Hankinson, a former U.S. diplomat, made a case Monday for what he deemed a rise in “lone wolf amateur terrorism.” Hankinson referred to the high-profile, Bondi Beach, Australia massacre. Within 10 minutes, on December 14, 2025, a father and a son opened fire on hundreds during a festival, ultimately killing 15 people and injuring 40. Hankinson used this tragedy to make a simple point: “In most cases of Islamist terrorism, the perpetrator is of Muslim heritage and has ancestral roots in a Muslim country.” Both the father and son involved in this attack appeared to have been born Muslim.

Now, consider the other two stories Hankinson addressed concerning young men like John Michael Garza, described as Mexican-American, and Christian Sturdivant, grandson of a Christian minister. Garza, late last year, “was charged in Texas with terrorism offenses, accused of providing bomb components to individuals he is alleged to have believed were acting on behalf of the Islamic State (IS). Garza was arrested after allegedly giving an undercover FBI agent instructions on how to make a bomb.”

(Townhall) The numbers coming out of Iran are horrifying, as a report indicated that the Iranian regime's security forces have killed at least 16,500 protesters and injured 330,000 more in a brutal crackdown against anti-regime demonstrations.

The report, compiled by doctors inside the region and reviewed by The Sunday Times, warns that the true death toll from the regime’s slaughter could be far higher, citing restricted access to hospitals and an almost total blackout of Iran’s communications systems. The vast majority of the victims were under the age of 30.

Professor Amir Parasta, an Iranian-German eye surgeon and medical director of Munich MED, said that even the country's doctors are in shock from the horror, despite having treated similarly atrocious wounds before.
