Karen Bass was a trojan horse sent to destroy LA Sold as a reformer. Shortlisted as Biden's VP. The media and the Democratic Party who installed her love to avoid her communist past. A Castro apologist. A Maoist cadre. In 2022 she was losing to Rick Caruso. A moderate who ran on cleaning up the city. Obama endorsed her. Biden endorsed her. Harris flew to LA twice. Clinton flew in. Sanders. Warren. Pelosi. Every major union. The entire machine lined up to stop the one guy who wanted to fix what she was about to break. She won by ~90,000 votes. Now the same machine hides her failures to protect their budding communist investment. She promised the world and delivered a trainwreck. The lady who said she wouldn't travel internationally. Flew to Ghana under wildfire warnings when the Palisades fire hit. Fire Chief Kristin Crowley warned her in detailed writing every year. She never listened. $17.6 million cut from the fire department. Engines cannibalized for parts. 1,300 hydrants reported broken four months before the fire. Nobody fixed them. The Santa Ynez Reservoir was EMPTY during fire season. 13,000 homes destroyed because of ZERO common sense. Hey maybe having water is important to fight fires...idk tho. Gross negligence that would put most people in jail for life. But politicians are above the law. When Crowley told CBS News Bass fired her. Twelve Angelenos died in the Palisades. Seventeen more in Altadena. Twenty-nine dead before she finished her champagne in Ghana. Then came the cover-up. The fire department ran a PR operation to protect Bass from "reputational harm." The official report was altered. Bass told the interim fire chief it could "expose the city to legal liabilities." Her texts from the fire vanished. A federal prosecutor had to step in and delay the city's own report. Crowley sued Bass for retaliation. Her lawsuit helped expose the memo and get the cover-up in writing and show the world. Karen Bass promised to end the homeless crisis. She built a money machine around it. $322 million in. $259,000 per person. Less than 1 in 4 stay housed. The CEO she picked gave $2 million in contracts to her own husband's employer. Keep it in the family baby. When the agency's IT chief refused to delete emails Bass sent from her PERSONAL account, they fired her. When a second executive raised complaints, they fired her too. $800,000 in hush money to buy their silence. Staff were told their job was to "make the mayor look good." Karen Bass promised to fight corruption. Funny way to show it when three of her handpicked contractors have been indicted in six months. $20.6 million in "behested payments" to her Mayor's Fund from corporations with city contracts. Outside California they call that extortion. The unions that put her in office got the pay raises. The nonprofits that fund her allies got the contracts. She takes their money. They take yours. But ya let's make sure we tax the rich... City Controller Kenneth Mejia's fraud unit is the reason Alexander Soofer got caught. The dude who stole $23 million of public homelessness money and spent it on himself. Bass cut Mejia's budget. Then her appointees voted 9-2 to ABOLISH Mejia's elected office entirely. Replace the watchdog by a person handpicked by Bass, because her track record shows we can DEFINITELY trust her. This is how dictators work. This is how cover-ups happen. They dismantle the democracy around them. She fires anyone who tells the truth. Deletes every document that would hurt her. Pays whistleblowers to stay quiet. Abolishes every office that could expose her. Where is the outrage? Where is CNN? Where is the New York Times? Where is Gavin Newsom? Ah I know. They are too busy fixated on Trump. Too busy banning Nick Shirley for video taping fraud. And they don't hold themselves accountable, only the other guys. Tell me again how the rich, Republicans and anyone that disagrees with you is corrupt. Tell me again how the media is unbiased and objective. Republicans got two impeachments over cover-ups that weren't real. Here you have one killing Angelenos in broad daylight and no one bats an eye. Karen Bass was never a reformer. She was trained to be something else. She joined the Venceremos Brigade in 1973 to work for the Castro regime. In the 1980s, she joined a Maoist organization. She eulogized Fidel Castro as "Comandante en Jefe" in 2016. Joe Biden almost put her in the Situation Room. She does not govern Los Angeles. She manages her reputation while the city burns. A communist dictator trained in Havana now runs the second-largest city in America. There is a way out. Spencer Pratt lost his home in the Palisades fire. He's running for mayor to burn the machine down. Steve Hilton is running for governor to end one-party rule in California. The June 2 primary is seven weeks away. Los Angeles has one chance to send her home. Fool me twice, shame on me. Don't be a moron expecting different results. Don't mess this up.

Remember, several lawsuits were filed by candidates, volunteers at the polls, and citizens alike during the 2020 election due to malfeasance and outright law breaking, but were generally told they had NO STANDING to sue. Fast forward to now, we have someone walking their dog by the WH who is granted STANDING to sue and stop a multi million dollar building construction project using PRIVATE funds on WH grounds. Let that sink in.

Senator Fetterman is not a conservative in any meaningful sense of the word. He is an old style Democrat who have been becoming increasingly extinct since the death of Joe Lieberman. Today's modern Democrats are far more radical and left wing, even batshit crazy.

Bernie Sanders earns 3 to 5.5 times the average American worker. By his own logic, that is an outrage. Someone should propose a tax on senators who earn outrageous salaries. But here is what Sanders will never ask, because the answer destroys his entire framework: at what point does the ratio become immoral? Two times? Five? Three hundred fifty? He has no answer. Because the number is not the issue. It never was. The only question that matters is this: was the income earned by voluntary exchange or by force? A CEO whose pay is set by a board representing shareholders has earned every dollar -- or not -- but that is between him and those who chose to pay him. No third party is owed a justification. Sanders does not object to wealth. He objects to wealth he did not sanction. His is the ethics of the tollbooth collector: you may prosper, but only with his permission, and only to the degree he permits. That is not justice. That is the mentality of a ruler who mistakes his envy for a moral argument.
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders

CEOs of large corporations now make more than 350 times what the average worker earns. San Francisco’s Prop D will tax billion-dollar corporations that pay their CEOs outrageous salaries to fund essential services devastated by Donald Trump’s funding cuts. Vote yes on Prop D.

Let's talk about what @BernieSanders intentionally left out. These companies paid billions in payroll taxes, state taxes, property taxes, and excise taxes. Federal income tax is one tax, not the total tax bill. You know this. But because you are a corrupt looter, you pretend as if they pay no taxes at all so you can generate outrage, so you can loot even more. You have been in Congress for 35 years. Every single tax provision that allowed these companies to pay zero federal income tax was written, passed, and signed into law by the institution you have been a part of since 1991. You also left out that 40% of American households paid zero federal income tax in 2025. By your logic, they are not paying their "fair share" either. But you will never say that because your entire political career depends on pretending that only corporations benefit from the tax code you helped write, even though in reality no one benefits from them. These companies employ hundreds of thousands of Americans whose wages generate billions in individual income taxes. They produce the products and services your supporters use every single day. The car your followers want to drive was built by one of these companies. The flights they take are operated by another. The electricity powering their homes comes from another. You do not want tax reform. You want a shakedown. And you have been running it for 35 years.
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders

If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than: Walt Disney Citigroup CVS Kohl's Ticketmaster Tesla United Airlines GoDaddy Paypal Palantir Roku HP 3M PG&E Halliburton That’s absurd. We need real and progressive tax reform.

@StevenMcinerney Some of the stuff is the US, yes (like the NJ Transit issue) but by far all the horrific stuff (ticket prices, games broken up by quarters, half time shows etc etc) is being implemented by FIFA. Americans are as pissed off and horrified as fans are everywhere.

I feel a bit sorry for the decent Americans who like football for what it is knowing that their country is trying to utterly fuck up the sport that we love. Every new thing I read about the World Cup makes me want to throw up. It's utterly gross.

Congress has damn near destroyed our country. They’ve stolen trillions of OUR tax dollars, imported MILLIONS of 3rd world rubbish, openly spying on us, rigging our elections, starting unnecessary wars, and taxing us to the bone. Tell me why we need them?

James Carville just openly admitted what the Democrats really want after they win power: “On day one .. make Puerto Rico and D.C. states, pack the Supreme Court to 13 justices. F**k it. Eat our dust.” Then the slimy strategist dropped the real strategy: “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.” Translation: Lie to voters like Virginia’s fake-moderate Spanberger, sneak into power, then immediately rig the entire system so Republicans are locked out forever. This is their endgame ... turn America into a permanent one-party leftist hellhole by adding two guaranteed blue states and stacking the Court with activist hacks who’ll rubber-stamp every unconstitutional power grab. They can’t win fair elections anymore, so they’re going full banana republic: change the rules, pack the referee, and declare game over. The mask is gone. This is raw, unfiltered Democrat tyranny in the making. (article below)

We’ve been helping millions of students access financial aid without fighting broken systems. Dragging decades-old healthcare infrastructure into this century. Making it easier for veterans to get appointments. Moving veteran disability decisions faster so people aren’t waiting forever. Turning eligibility into something that can be verified instantly. Fixing workflows that used to collapse under their own weight. Building a usable provider directory so enrollment isn’t a guessing game. Putting AI tools in the hands of federal staff so work doesn’t take 10x longer than it should. Eliminating paper-based processes that should have been retired a generation ago. And running to deploy apps that give patients faster access to their data, help them manage chronic conditions, and navigate care more easily. In case you were wondering.

BREAKING NEWS: “Starmer denies knowing he was Prime Minister” Sir Kier Starmer has revealed that no one told him until last Tuesday he won the 2024 election and had become PM. He told Beth Rigby “I was totally kept in the dark by my officials. I’m really angry about it.”

Oh, for fuck's sake, it's goddamn hilarious how this shit never fails to play out. Whenever the Democrats seize power, their batshit crazy wishlist rockets through Congress, boom, done, no brakes, full steam ahead on every loony priority. But then the Republicans somehow win power and what happens? Surprise, surprise, those same Democrat pet projects still get greased up and fast tracked through the system like they're the most urgent shit in the universe. Meanwhile, any real conservative ideas? Crickets, delays, and endless fucking excuses. At what point do we all just throw our hands up and ask the obvious: Do these spineless, gutless Republican clowns actually give a rat's ass about saving America from the brink, or are they just the Democrats' pathetic little backup dancers, ready to swoop in and keep the same fucking toxic agenda twitching along whenever their masters need a break? What a brilliant con job. Two heads one snake.
