@Ryanexpress77 Why do they always focus on cops? Cops who work in Beverly Hills, Malibu, Santa Barbara and Palos Verdes don’t typically own homes or live in those cities either. I don’t waste time on these people.

@RealSteveBellow Residency requirements for cops is unconstitutional in California. Cops do a great job for the City of Los Angeles and the folks living there regardless of where they live.

Can't go to the beach North, Can't go to the beaches South, Can't go downtown, cannot even drive your car around Chicago without fear of being caught in a street takeover. This is #ChicagosMayor Chicago. Until parents are held accountable for the actions of their children and criminals are held accountable, this will continue to be the new norm here in #Chicago

@Jessica56769892 @TheKevinDalton When was this?

@TheKevinDalton More craziness in DTLA

Imagine being a police officer in Gavin Newsom’s lawless California

Just another “unauthorized gathering” in Chicago.

If this isn’t yet another sign to vote for @spencerpratt…

Elections matter.

The reason why I'm voting for @spencerpratt is simple. My two children are teenagers. For their entire lives, I've driven them past homeless encampments in West LA, Skid Row in DTLA, and tent cities in the valley. They've seen homeless people poop on the shoulder of the 405 freeway and people shooting up in front of houses. Like a broken record, I repeat the same story over and over. "It wasn't like this when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s." But for my kids, this is their "normal." If it got this bad from my time to their time, then what is it going to be like when they're my age?

NOW: Anti-ICE protesters are tearing up cement blocks outside the Delaney Hall Detention Center to reinforce barricades at the facility’s exits.

New York’s murder and shooting declines are real, but nearly 30,000 felony assaults last year—the most in many years—point to a deeper disorder problem: casual violence intensifying as police presence and the law’s moral authority recede.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

.@BobWoodson’s parting words to us: “Over the past decade, American history has been weaponized to convince its people that we are irredeemably defined by our worst chapters—especially the moral darkness of slavery. Black children are increasingly taught to believe they live in a country that fundamentally thinks less of them. White children are told they are inherently guilty because they are ‘privileged oppressors.’ Both messages produce the same outcome: a diminished sense of human value, the erosion of self-respect and collapse of social trust. A people convinced they are powerless will eventually live as though they are. The past should be a teacher, not a jailer. People don’t rise when they are taught helplessness. They are motivated to rise when they are shown examples of what is possible… America was founded on ideals intentionally left unfinished. Its true greatness lies not in claims of perfection, but in its constitutional capacity for self-correction. The painful struggle to live up to those ideals takes courage, self-discipline and, above all, grace. Not the cheap, performative grace of political rhetoric that rationalizes wrongdoing or denies injustice. The costly kind that demands something of you: discipline, sacrifice, responsibility and moral courage. The kind that chooses restoration over revenge even when revenge feels justified.” wsj.com/opinion/the-ar…

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2 conta.cc/4wFIDrM

@LamiereT @Ryanexpress77 @elgrenchoviejo @OfficerDunphy She has a (D) after her name. That’s it. Her District is not in better shape since she took office. It’s worse. But she has a (D) after her name.

@Ryanexpress77 @RealSteveBellow @elgrenchoviejo @OfficerDunphy Her district……. I have never understood how they kept re-electing her, much like Sheila Jackson Lee….

@RealSteveBellow @elgrenchoviejo @OfficerDunphy Bass just locked up the race with this endorsement. Waters is the poster child for a do nothing politician. She got richer while her district in 77th and South East got much poorer.

Interesting you brought up the House Financial Services Committee. In September 2008, Rep. Waters helped arrange a meeting between Treasury and reps of the National Bankers Association to discuss OneUnited Bank's needed federal bailout...to preserve the value of Waters's husband's stock in the bank. OneUnited ultimately received $12 million in TARP funds, and the Waterses walked away with the $. An endorsement from a corruptocrat is a reverse endorsement.

WOW: Progressive Democrat Activist- Consultant violently assaulted on DC Subway. Mugged by reality, literally. DC keeps turning people into tough on crime reactionaries. We don’t have to live this way. @wmataGM @wmata

The 2nd station was also closed. Since we've shared this story, we've heard from dozens of other moms who've had their vehicles stolen or broken into. The next morning when we finally spoke to an officer, he suggested we DRIVE AROUND AND FIND THE CAR OURSELVES... but not to approach it as there may be a homeless drug addict sleeping inside. You can't make this up. The LA Times, the current administration, Rolling Stone and Seth Rogen want you to think this is normal. I've lived in the city for over 20 years and I can tell you it is NOT normal. And it was not always like this. Prior to 2020, West Hollywood, Mid-CIty and East Hollywood had almost zero homeless drug addicts. If you wanted to find an encampment, you had to go to Venice or Skid Row. During the heyday of the 3rd Street Promenade in 2006, there was one homeless guy, who would harmlessly shake a cup of coins at you. These days they shake sticks with nails or samurai swords. Today, the failures of the current administration are in our face every time we leave our homes. We are told "this is normal", "this is improving". This is not normal. And it is getting WORSE. We were voting for Spencer before this but now it feels even more personal. I encourage you to do the same and do it before June 2nd. Tell your friends and those you know who live here. The primary is more important than anyone realizes. Say what you want about Spencer's past but he has a real plan to fix this. Most importantly, he is the only candidate not asking you to ignore it.

My wife’s car was stolen from our driveway Friday (along with 2 baby seats) but fortunately I have this article to calm her nerves

Thomas Sowell: “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”

Thomas Sowell on engineers vs intellectuals: “The engineer is judged by the end product. If he builds a building that collapses, it doesn’t matter how brilliant his idea was—he’s ruined.” “Conversely, if an intellectual has an idea for rearranging society and that ends in disaster, he pays no price at all.”

So now @ABC7 News is cresting campaign ads for @spencerpratt ? Oh wait - it’s not a campaign ad. Nor is this AI. It’s a real news story about a massive rat-infested homeless encampment, one of many in @KarenBassLA Los Angeles. Remember, she’s the one with “experience.”
