The Democrats have declared war on America.

How can any American, in their right mind, vote for this treasonous party?

California Gubernatorial Candidate Tom Steyer Reveals Plans to Jail ICE Agents

With Swalwell out of the race, Steyer is now the leading Democrat.

Of course, the California Teacher’s Union endorses Steyer for Governor.

In the latest poll from Emerson, Steyer is three points behind the leader, Republican Steve Hilton. Steyer is hard left—and is showing no signs of pivoting to the center. Fox 40: As Democratic candidates make moves to solidify their support ahead of the gubernatorial primary, Tom Steyer released a new plan that would take drastic steps to combat ICE — including jailing agents.

The progressive billionaire candidate published a blog post Tuesday outlining his plan to push back against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He said it’s not enough for Democrats to “simply engage in rhetoric” and claim to stand against President Donald Trump’s administration. Steyer compared his plan to the way law enforcement fought the mob and called the federal agency a “violent extremist group.”

“California must build a system that fights fire with fire,” he said. “To stop this authoritarian takeover, we must counter ICE head-on, and go after both their agents on the streets and their leadership within the Department of Homeland Security”.

California Gov. Candidate Tom Steyer Pledges to Open Borders and Arrest ICE Agents

By: Warner Todd Huston, Breitbart, April 15, 2026:

Tom Steyer, the now top polling Democrat for California governor, has unveiled his extremely radical, open-door, anti-ICE immigration platform as he continues his run for the state’s top office.

The hedge fund billionaire, who was polling poorly until the media targeted Eric Swalwell for a sacrifice to revitalize the Democratic field for the governor’s race, released his immigration pledges on Tuesday with a five-point plan that is far more left-wing and radical than the current governor’s, who himself is a left-wing radical on immigration.

The 68-year-old founder of Farallon Capital Management turned radical environmentalist posted his intentions to nullify all federal immigration laws, jail federal immigration law enforcement officers, and return deported individuals back to the U.S.

Steyer’s immigration plan includes the abolishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in California and would attempt to jail ICE agents and their superiors whom Steyer thinks are breaking his rules.

He also thinks he has the power as a governor to go to foreign countries, gather up people who have been deported, and bring them back to the U.S.A.

The billionaire went on to pledge to ignore any U.S. Supreme Court rulings that he does not like.

Steyer claimed, “Each point builds on one another to create a comprehensive strategy that gives the State of California the power it needs to take on ICE and win.”

The candidate’s first bullet point made the claim that ICE uses “racial profiling” to arrest illegal migrants and to target them for deportation. This, he claims, is against California statutes that “outlaws any law enforcement agency from profiling anyone based on their race.” He pledged to enforce these statutes against federal immigration officers.

With his second policy, he pledged to “give the state Attorney General the authority to hold ICE’s leadership accountable for violence.”

“My plan will pursue supervisory liability. This body of law empowers the California justice system to criminally prosecute and imprison not just the ICE agents who are committing these crimes, but the leadership directing them to do so,” he claimed, not explaining how any state law could supersede federal authority.

His third policy pledge is to set up a special branch of the state attorney general’s office to pursue “evidence” that will lead to the prosecution of federal immigration officers, again without addressing federal supremacy issues.

Next he revealed he thinks a state governor can reverse federal deportation rulings and said he’d use state money to send representatives to foreign countries then pay to fly deported illegals back into California, saying, “I will bring those detained and kidnapped by ICE back home,” and says he will “assist and help those who have been imprisoned without due process.”

Finally, he pledged to use more state tax dollars to train illegals to “know their rights” so they can fight against being held accountable for breaking U.S. immigration laws, backed by California tax dollars in the process.

“I will launch a massive statewide ‘Know Your Rights’ public education and public awareness campaign,” Steyer pledged. “Every Californian, regardless of their immigration status, should know their constitutional and legal rights if you are stopped, detained, or questioned by ICE agents, if you are assembled to protest against ICE, if you are filming ICE agent activities, or if you witness unlawful and illegal actions perpetrated by ICE agents.”

Steyer claimed there is “solid legal foundation for California to expand these protections and prosecute ICE agents for breaking the law.” He added, “California should take matters into our own hands. California can extend these legal protections to its residents, despite the federal government’s failure.”

He then insisted, “Extending these protections is a major step forward. It targets the linchpin that holds together the entire ICE machine: their ability to weaponize their authority as federal agents to engage in racial profiling and racial violence.”

“Trump has turned ICE into a criminal enterprise, so let’s treat it as such,” he exclaimed. “As governor, I’ll go after ICE the way Eliot Ness and Joe Friday went after the Mob: bring them to justice by using their most basic crimes against them. For the Mob it was racketeering; for ICE it’s racial discrimination.”

Steyer concluded, writing, “On my watch, California will protect the most vulnerable and bring to justice those who break the law and brutalize our neighbors. We’ll let ICE know: in California, you obey our laws and respect our residents, or you go to jail.”

Finally, Steyer defended his announcement after Tesla funder Elon Musk took to X to write an astonished “Wow” over the radical policy suggestions.

“’Wow’ is right. ICE is a criminal organization. As governor, I’ll prosecute them like one,” the extremist Democrat posted.

Biden To Vacation With Hunter At Home Of Billionaire Climate Activist And Dem Megadonor

August 23, 2023/in Elections, Energy, Environment, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Science, Social Issues/by The Daily Caller

President Joe Biden will be joined by his son, Hunter, as he embarks on yet another lengthy vacation at a property belonging to billionaire climate activist and Democratic megadonor Tom Steyer at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, according to multiple reports.

Biden has faced criticism for remaining largely silent on the wildfire disaster in Maui, Hawaii, and vacationing on the beach in Delaware. The president is renting Steyer’s home at “fair market value” through the remainder of the week, with Hunter and multiple other family members in attendance, according to multiple reports.

Steyer ran against Biden for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, and withdrew from the race in February after placing third in South Carolina’s primary. The prominent climate activist threw his support behind Biden’s presidential bid months later.

The former candidate encouraged Biden to lean into more left-wing policies to combat climate change in his presidential bid and appeal to a younger electorate concerned with such issues, according to Politico. Steyer later met with Biden’s campaign to express interest about a role in his then-potential administration.

Biden and the First Lady arrived at the Lake Tahoe home late Friday evening, but are planning to visit the Hawaiian island devastated by wildfires on Monday. The president will then return to his vacation where he and his family will remain until next Saturday, according to Bloomberg.

The president drew backlash last week after appearing to respond with “no comment” when asked about the Maui disaster while relaxing on the beach in Delaware.

The Biden family vacation comes a week after U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed David Weiss as special counsel to continue investigating Hunter. Weiss received sharp criticism for a plea deal between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Hunter that included a pretrial diversion agreement, which would have immunized the president’s son from certain future prosecutions had it not collapsed.

Neither the White House nor Steyer immediately responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.

Bill Gates Thinks Green Energy Zealots Are ‘Dangerous’

November 26, 2018/in Energy, Environment/by The Daily Caller

Bill Gates offered some surprisingly critical comments about environmental activists who believe the proliferation of renewable energy is the only answer to climate change.

Gates is no stranger to environmental activism. The founder of Microsoft — and a man worth almost $100 billion — has used his wealth to propel a number of climate change initiatives. He currently leads a coalition of billionaires who are investing in clean energy technologies. The philanthropy organization he founded, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is focusing on the adaptation to climate change.

Gates has also invested in the development of advanced nuclear reactors, and a company, Carbon Engineering, that uses technology to capture carbon right out of the sky.

“It’s very American to invent things to help the entire world. We’re always on the front of new science and new product development. So it would be tragic if this was the first time the U.S. didn’t play that role,” Gates said Sunday in an interview with Axios on HBO. It was a wide-ranging conversation that covered his work on global warming.

While he has devoted an enormous amount of money and personal time to helping curb carbon emissions, Gates isn’t afraid to level criticism at environmental activists. The billionaire philanthropist told Axios that people who believe solar and wind development is the sole solution to stopping climate change are just as bad as people who block progress.

“That general impression that ‘Oh, it’s just about solar and wind,’ that I think is as dangerous to us as the fact that in one country, the U.S., there’s a faction that associates with ‘Hey, let’s not make any trade-offs to go in and solve this problem,’” he said.

Gates pointed out at the generation industry is just one of many sectors that releases carbon emissions, and that combating climate change takes a multi-faceted approach.

“A lot of people think, OK, renewable energy, wind and solar, has gotten a lot cheaper, isn’t that it?” Gates explained. “Well, electricity is only a quarter of the problem. In fact, we’ve got to solve the entire 100 percent. You know, unless somebody has the pie in their mind that, OK, electricity’s 25 percent, agriculture’s 24 percent, transport’s 14 percent, unless they start with that, we’re not really talking about the same problem.”

Gates’ comments come when wind and solar proponents are increasingly pushing state governments to increase their renewable energy standards. Numerous efforts — much of them funded by billionaire activist Tom Steyer — have sought to increase the renewable energy mandates in varying states.
