Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, blamed evangelical Christians and other conservatives for not allowing progressives to redefine what pro-life means.

The resurfaced video gathered attention as Gavin Newsom’s suspected run for a presidential campaign continued.

‘They’re living in this silo, this evangelical, conservative silo that, ultimately, is just pulling us back as a country to a time and a place where we don’t deserve to be.’

Jennifer Newsom made the comments in an interview with Elex Michaelson from 2022.

“I appreciate that so many people, so many progressives, are leaning into redefining what pro-life is really about, and that’s what we’re doing in California,” she said. “You know, pro-life is about prenatal care and universal preschool and universal after-school and universal health care and taking care of foster kids and feeding, you know, universal meals and child care. Like, that’s pro-life. It’s not conception.”

She went on to accuse evangelicals and conservatives of holding back the pro-abortion effort.

“They’re living in this silo, this evangelical, conservative silo that, ultimately, is just pulling us back as a country to a time and a place where we don’t deserve to be, and we’re not going to be,” she continued. “Because honestly, young women and fathers of daughters are awake now, and they’re woke, and they’re not going to let us go back.”

She added that she has “so much hope because of that, and obviously California has a huge responsibility to lead.”

The video was posted to social media, where it garnered more than 1.5 million views.

Jennifer Newsom also made headlines when she recently scolded reporters for ignoring her pro-abortion event and asking unrelated questions.

“We just find it incredulous [sic] that we have Planned Parenthood here, and women are 51% of the population,” she said.

“And the majority of the questions — all of these questions — have really been about other issues. … You wonder why we have such a horrific war on women in this country and that these guys are getting away with it. Because you don’t seem to care,” she added.

Officials in Boston are celebrating the highest graduation rates in their history after significantly lowering standards for students and hiring “equitable grading policy” consultants, according to a bombshell analysis.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) announced earlier in March that the graduation rate at Boston Public Schools had reached a new record high of 81.3%. The previous high had been 81%.

‘The increase in graduation rates is more the result of policy changes than of students’ rising academic achievement. And it comes at the expense of students’ readiness for the real world.’

“I say every day around the city that our top priority is making Boston a home for everyone, and that has everything to do with our young people, our schools, school communities, and opportunities for families in Boston,” Wu said at a press conference. “That is the story behind these numbers.”

But another story behind these numbers says that the figure just represents grade inflation and that actual student achievement results have not improved at all.

An analysis from City Journal of the Manhattan Institute found that other metrics showed no improvement despite the allegedly inflated graduation rates.

BPS students did not score any better on the math and reading portions of the SAT, according to the analysis. Math scores for lower income students declined by 5%, even as their graduation rates improved.

Reading and math scores for English language learners fell by 9% and 13%, respectively, as their graduation rates improved by an astounding 21%, the analysis claimed.

And only about 40% of BPS 10th-graders meet expectations for reading and math in the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System testing, both of which are lower than those from 2019, it said.

While Wu claimed they had not lowered student expectations or moved goalposts to artificially jack up graduation rates, the City Journal report claimed they had done just that.

One policy had teachers assign “incomplete marks” rather than give students failing grades, and the district spent $120,000 on education consultants who advocated for “equitable grading policies.”

Critics are noting that many schools are offering “credit recovery” programs where students are able to make up failing grades with minimal effort, allowing them to move on to the next grade will remaining woefully uneducated.

“The increase in graduation rates is more the result of policy changes than of students’ rising academic achievement. And it comes at the expense of students’ readiness for the real world — a cost that the students themselves will ultimately pay,” the report concluded.

President Donald Trump is throwing his full support behind the proposed SAVE America Act, framing it as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to overhaul U.S. elections and restore public confidence in their right to vote.

And he’s not going to let those who oppose it off so easily.

“The Save America Act is one of the most IMPORTANT & CONSEQUENTIAL pieces of legislation in the history of Congress, and America itself. NO MORE RIGGED ELECTIONS! Voter I.D., Proof of Citizenship, No Rigged Mail-In Voting (We are the only Country in the World that allows this!), No Men in Women’s Sports, No Transgender MUTILIZATION of our Children,” President Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

“Only sick, demened, or deranged people in the House or Senate could vote against THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. If they do, each one of these points, separately, will be used against the user in his/her political campaign for office — A guaranteed loss!” he added.

“We have one chance to secure elections,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says on “The Liz Wheeler Show.” “Do you remember what it felt like sitting in front of your television, watching on X as election results in 2020 rolled in? Do you remember the outrage that you felt as we saw anomalies, what appeared to be lawbreaking activity, happen before our very eyes?”

“So I challenge you today. This is what we should challenge our senators today. How many of those anomalies on that ill-fated evening in November of 2020 could have been prevented by the provisions that now exist in the SAVE America Act?” she continues.

“And for those on both sides of the aisle, on the left and on the right, who contend that anomalies are not proof, are not evidence, of fraud, OK. If no fraud existed whatsoever in any way, shape, or form, then why oppose the SAVE Act?” she asks.

“If it won’t change the outcome because no fraud existed — fraud played no part in those elections — then the SAVE Act couldn’t change the outcome,” she says, adding, “so you couldn’t possibly oppose it on any reasonable grounds, could you?”

A video has been circulating widely on social media showing what appears to be a couple of Michigan school employees on a school bus engaged in what the district called alleged “professional misconduct,” WJBK-TV reported.

The station went a bit further, deeming what went on inside the yellow and black vehicle apparent “X-rated activities.”

‘My God, such total disrespect to both themselves and others.’

WJBK spoke to a mother who called herself Katie — and who was a reluctant cinematographer.

The station said Katie was at the Chesterfield Township Walmart last week when she caught two individuals who turned out to be school employees on the bus. Chesterfield Township is about 45 minutes northeast of Detroit.

She told WJBK the first thing she noticed was intense motion, initially believing they were simply cleaning the seats — but the movement kept up.

“I’m an adult, so I kind of put two and two together,” Katie noted to the station.

With that, she captured the incident on video, noting to WJBK, “I grabbed that just to have proof that what I’m seeing is what I’m seeing.” Katie then reported it to the Macomb Intermediate School District, the station said.

Blaze News is not linking to the unedited clip because of its inappropriate content. WJBK’s news video below, however, included a heavily blurred clip of the incident:

No children were aboard the school bus during the incident, WJBK said, and the school district is investigating the employees in question and has placed them on leave.

“What if my kids rode that bus?” Katie asked the station. “I wouldn’t be aware of what’s going on, on that bus.”

Commenters under WJBK’s video report shot back reactions that ranged in tone from humorous to disgusted.

“That’s gross [for real] tho,” one user wrote. “Kids sit there.””Nasty,” another commenter said. “Where [children] sit. You can’t wait or find somewhere else. That’s gross.””Engaging in sexual activity … on a school bus … in the broad open day … in a parking lot?” another user observed. “My God, such total disrespect to both themselves and others. This type of behavior is unacceptable, and neither one of them should ever drive a school bus again. No buses for that matter. Damn shame. But none in their game.”

The Texas family of a 9-year-old girl is grieving her loss after she died from attempting a social media challenge.

Curtis and Wendi Blackwell told CBS News that their daughter JackLynn loved karaoke and wanted to become a singing star.

‘You could check on your kid, it could be kid-friendly videos, and then three minutes later it could be totally something dark because of the algorithms they start creating.’

“It was just the three of us, three amigos. We did everything together,” Curtis Blackwell said.

They recalled the horror of the last day they saw their daughter alive in the back yard of their home in Stephenville.

“Normal morning, tickle her to wake her up to get ready for school,” the mother said.

“She goes out to play like she always does, out in the yard. I noticed it’s kind of quiet — quieter than it should’ve been,” Curtis Blackwell said. “Then I saw her kind of around the corner that goes to the carport, saw her hair. I said, ‘JackLynn!’ I thought she was bending over playing because she was always in that area playing, but she wasn’t playing.”

His daughter had a cord around her neck when he found her.

“I found her unconscious. She was leaned into the cord,” he added. “I tried to do everything I could to save her. I got her off the cord. I tried to give her CPR until the first responders got there. It was the most terrifying, shocking thing I’ve ever seen. It was horrible to see my daughter in such a vulnerable state because of something so senseless.”

They believe that she was trying the dangerous “blackout” challenge that has caused other deaths and grievous injuries to others. It involves choking oneself in order to obtain a euphoric high.

“My mom told me that JackLynn had shown her a video before of a guy doing that with the cord. My mom told her, ‘Don’t you ever do that,'” Curtis Blackwell added.

About 80 people have died from the challenge.

“She’s our beautiful angel now,” Wendi Blackwell added.

The Blackwells said they want more accountability for social media companies over the dangerous trends.

“You could check on your kid, it could be kid-friendly videos, and then three minutes later it could be totally something dark because of the algorithms they start creating,” Curtis Blackwell said. “There’s too many of these kids lost for these companies not to be held accountable in my eyes.”
