After President Donald Trump federalized California National Guard troops in response to anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, progressive Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom told reporters, “It’s about time Donald Trump grow up. I want to get them back under my control.”
Speaking outside a Los Angeles church Wednesday, Newsom, who is believed to have presidential aspirations, urged Trump to release the remaining National Guard troops in LA. He called the deployment a waste of hundreds of millions of dollars.
The governor, who tried to sue the Trump administration over its use of the National Guard to respond to the rioting, called the president a “chaos agent” who has “torn asunder” California communities.

This comes after Newsom called Trump a “son of a b—-,” something he did not back away from when asked about it during the news conference.
“I don’t think they understand any other kind of language,” and “I have no apologies for standing tall and firm and pushing back against their cruelty,” Newsom said.
“It’s a disgrace,” Newsom said. “The president of the United States decided to advance his rote cruelty by utilizing the brave men and women of the National Guard as pawns in an effort to theatrically show his strength.”

Newsom claimed the deployment was a massive waste of time and money.
He accused Trump of having “burned” hundreds of millions of dollars “just to try to sear in your mind that he’s some tough guy because he didn’t get enough hugs from his parents growing up.”
“This is about families. It’s about community. It’s about the sense of place. It’s about our economy. And it’s about time Donald Trump grow up. It’s about time Donald Trump understand what the hell he is doing,” he added.
“And, so, I’m here in front of a church, on church grounds, mindful that our democracy is not on firm ground. And mindful of our responsibility to be assertive at this moment.”
The governor also criticized Trump for sending troops to a U.S. city rather than overseas.
“He deployed roughly 5,000 military, not overseas. In fact, his entire first term the president of the United States did not even send military boots on the ground overseas his entire first term. [In] the first six months of his administration, he decides to send them to the United States of America.”

He said the deployment “is a preview of things to come.”
“If you think this is about California, you are fooling yourself. These are operations you’re going to see all across the United States of America,” Newsom added. “This cruelty, isn’t about terrorizing communities. It’s about appearing tough.”
The governor also said he wanted to regain control over “my National Guard or your National Guard.”
“I want to get them back under my control so we can get them back doing the kind of work to control wildfires, to keep our community safe, to address the issue of counter-narcotics, to address the issue of fentanyl,” he said.

In response, Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, told Fox News Digital in an emailed statement that Newsom “is on the wrong side of history, and he will have to answer for his atrocious policies.”
“This is what’s actually harming our communities: Gavin Newscum’s pro-criminal illegal alien policies,” said Jackson, adding the governor “recently protested a successful immigration raid at a California marijuana farm that rescued children who were victims of labor exploitation and detained rapists, pedophiles and other criminals.
“The American people elected President Trump to deport these sick criminals, and a vast majority of American voters — including Democrats — support these policies.”

Idaho bar owner Mark Fitzpatrick said his saloon has been flooded with both praise and outrage after a promotion offering “free beer” to anyone who helps Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) identify and deport an illegal immigrant went viral.
The Old State Saloon’s promotion, which was posted Nov. 29 on X, was viewed nearly 8 million times. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also reposted it, generating both excitement and online attacks, including threats to burn down the business and kill its outspoken owner.
“At Old State Saloon, we really aren’t strangers to speaking out boldly about conservative Christian values and truth and putting the truth out there,” Fitzpatrick told Fox News Digital, adding that speaking in a world with “deception” and “evil” causes people to get “really upset.“
Fitzpatrick said his bar’s first controversial promotion came in 2024 when he launched “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month,” featuring discounts and free beer for heterosexual men, women and couples throughout June in response to Pride Month.

The saloon owner said his latest idea was inspired by four years of former President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, describing them as a “complete disaster” that incentivized “some of the worst of the worst people in the world to come into this country.”
While his promotion was meant to promote the efforts of law enforcement and ICE, Fitzpatrick said it was quickly attacked online, and the saloon has posted several social media exchanges this week with individuals strongly disagreeing with its conservative ideology.
“What liberals want to do is they attack you,” he said. “They go on attack and they start calling you names.“

Fitzpatrick said his family has been threatened, and he has received “disgusting” messages and voicemails, including threats to torch his saloon.
“People are just outright saying I should die for this,” he said. “It’s really, really despicable.“
Fitzpatrick urged anyone dismissing his promotion to visit his bar, located in Eagle, Idaho, asserting that “if any of those liberals actually came in and were willing to talk,” they would meet someone who “would sit down with them and talk and listen to what they have to say.”

Fitzpatrick remains unfazed, saying the negative comments only make him want to “double down.” His saloon has also continued to offer new promotions throughout the month, including “Manly American Monday,” where men who support ICE get a free beer just for walking through the door.
The bar also offers free beer on Tuesdays to ladies who “tattle” on illegal immigrants by calling ICE, along with a Wednesday special shaving 10% of the bill for heterosexual couples.
“The way I look at it is they’re kind of disclosing like their wickedness right to us in public and showing us who they are,” Fitzpatrick said in reference to the online attacks and threats he’s received.

Fitzpatrick has also received “overwhelming support,” including encouraging mail and cards, amid the negativity and threats.
“At my saloon when I’m there after a long day of dealing with just wickedness and all the calls and everything else, people are there and they’re there just to come in and meet me and support me and encourage me,” he said.
Fitzpatrick does not expect many patrons to claim their freebie, but he did say that Ryan Spoon, vice chair of the Ada County Republican Central Committee in Idaho, claimed his after he provided evidence that he helped ICE make an arrest.

Fitzpatrick added that the promotion is “not really about beers.”
“I think the way it’s working is it’s drawing attention to the issue and conversations are happening,” he said.

A large fire burned at a six-story residential building in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District early Friday morning, leaving dozens displaced, officials said.
The fire started at around 3 a.m. at a building on Golden Gate Avenue near Taylor and Market streets, adjacent to the Golden Gate Theatre. The San Francisco Fire Department said the fire started on the top floor and reached three alarms, spreading to the attic and roof of the building. Over 100 firefighters at the scene were able to prevent it from spreading to lower floors and nearby buildings, the department said.
Multiple people were rescued and self-evacuated, and a total of 45 residents were displaced, but there were no injuries, the department said. Two cats were also rescued, one that was treated by medics at the scene and another cared for by Animal Control.
Evacuated residents were provided temporary shelter at the corner of Golden Gate and Jones Street aboard a Muni bus. The Red Cross and other city agencies were called in to assist the displaced residents, the department said.
The fire was contained by 5:30 a.m., and firefighters remained on the scene for several hours. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
True to form, Jacobs pushed to practice but said team doctors told him to chill and be smart about it. The goal is to reduce the inflammation as much as possible to increase his chances of playing.
In his pre-practice news conference on Thursday, Head Coach Matt LaFleur praised Jacobs for “doing everything in his power to get ready to go.” From his perspective, Jacobs said he feels more relief than frustration.
“I’ve been in this league a long time, and it’s not too much that really gets me discouraged or anything like that,” Jacobs said.
“We still know what’s ahead of us. Now, if we were having this going into the playoffs, it would be a little weird, but at that point I wouldn’t care because it’s either do or don’t. But for me, I know my body, there’s nothing structurally wrong, so I don’t feel like it’s something I have to overly think about.”
If Jacobs can’t go Sunday, Wilson would be in line to make his second NFL start against the team with whom he broke into the league back in 2023.
Signed as an undrafted free agent out of NCAA Division II Fort Valley State (Ga.), Wilson spent just three days with the Broncos before he was released. Ten days later, he signed with the Packers and later made the team’s 53-man roster.
The 5-foot-10, 226-pound Wilson has since rushed for 938 yards and seven touchdowns on 205 carries (4.6 yards per carry) in 37 games, highlighted by a gratifying career day against Minnesota a few weeks ago.
“I still got that mentality to go out there and do it again,” Wilson said. “If (Jacobs) is going, he’s going. If I get my opportunity once again, I’m going to take advantage of it.”
Whoever starts against Denver understands the challenge its defense presents. In addition to the Broncos pacing the NFL with 55 sacks, they also boast a No. 2-ranked run defense that’s allowing just 89.0 yards per game.
Denver hasn’t allowed a running back to gain more than 100 yards since Jonathan Taylor’s 165-yard effort powered Indianapolis to a 29-28 victory in Week 2.
As much as Jacobs enjoys practicing, he doesn’t feel it’s a requirement in order for him to play in Denver. It all comes down to how his body is feeling and whether the team doctors give him the green light on Sunday afternoon.
“I always plan to play,” Jacobs said. “They gotta kinda tell me I can’t play for me not to play. For me, that’s where my head is at, but I’m also realistically just day-to-day right now.”
