Trump Triumphs Over Newscum: Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Rules in Favor of Trump

The Governor of California went to court to stop the President of the United States from protecting Americans from violent rioters, looters and destroyers.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

The Commander in Chief remains in charge of the military.

Susie Moore of Red State: The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has issued its ruling on the Trump administration’s motion for a stay pending appeal. The court granted the motion, meaning the National Guard may remain under federal control for the time being. Shortly after President Trump issued orders federalizing the Guard in response to riots that broke out in and around Los Angeles, ostensibly following protests of immigration raids in the area, Newsom filed suit in federal court to block the move. Of note, he filed the suit in the Northern District of California rather than in the Central District, which serves Los Angeles. Judge Charles Breyer then issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) ordering the return of control of the Guard to the state. Within hours of that ruling, however, a three-judge panel at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative (temporary) stay in response to the administration’s appeal. Oral argument was heard before the 9th Circuit on Tuesday afternoon. Now, they’ve permanently stayed the district court’s TRO pending the appeal of the case (Red State).

From the ruling: we are persuaded that, under longstanding precedent interpreting the statutory predecessor to 12406, our review of that decision must be highly deferential. Affording the President that deference, we conclude that it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority … which authorizes federalization of the National Guard when “the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States” (US Courts).

While Los Angeles Rioted, Governor Newsom Sipped Wine at “Swanky” Napa Valley Winery

If the nation needed yet another illustration of how politically tone-deaf Newsom is: As riots engulfed Los Angeles and mobs vandalized public buildings, incinerated vehicles, and assaulted law enforcement officers, California governor Gavin Newsom was enjoying a swanky wine-tasting party in Napa Valley. The wine-tasting was held on the afternoon of June 7, 2025, at the Odette Estate Winery, which Newsom co-founded in 2011. Dubbed “Vineyard Vibes,” the event was a fundraiser for the PlumpJack Foundation, founded by Newsom’s sister, and featured “contemporary yet sophisticated” wines, live jazz music, and locally made pizza and smash burgers. “It’s the perfect kick-off to summer fun,” read promotional language. “The fete will take place on the Winery Crushpad, where we’ll gather for music, food, conversation, and delicious wine!” (City Journal).

Many readers will remember: During Covid—as Californians were masked and social-distanced and the governor was faithfully instilling fear into the proletariat, he was dining at another “swanky” outlet—the French Landry, also in Napa. Even the New York Times was upset: Photos that surfaced this week of a dinner at the French Laundry, a temple of haute cuisine in Napa Valley where some prix fixe meals go for $450 per person, have sparked outrage in a state where Democratic leaders have repeatedly admonished residents to be extra vigilant amid the biggest spike in infections since the pandemic began. The revelations come as Mr. Newsom and other officials have asked Californians to make sacrifices to stop the spread of the virus, most recently beseeching them to stay home and avoid visiting extended family over Thanksgiving (New York Times).
