Where are LA’s homeless from? I surveyed 210 homeless across LA, finding the majority are not from LA. My latest with @christopherrufo in @CityJournal: city-journal.org/article/la-hom…

@SinaiLawFirm I have a real estate question. Can Californians 55+ carry their property 13 protection after selling their property and buying another?

If you care about Los Angeles and want to get real journalism about what is happening in our city, how our tax dollars are being spent you need to follow Kenneth immediately

@CyborgPeds Why aren’t you making your lunch for work? I still do.

If you’re eating Chipotle as a regular lunch you need a calcium scan.

Here are all the pharmacies grifting off ivermectin….

"For daring to speak the truth, I was ARRESTED by the FBI, thrown into a cell, branded a TERRORIST by my own government..." Dr. Simone Gold spoke out about **hydroxychloroquine**, opposed the destructive lockdowns and mandates, and rejected the rushed COVID vaccines — and the Biden regime came after her like a political enemy. Her teenage son (asleep in his bed in Los Angeles on Jan 6) was stalked by TSA agents and put on a watch list. Her bank accounts were flagged. Her reputation was destroyed. She was sentenced by a system that **knew the accusations were false** but refused to correct them. This wasn’t justice — it was **selective persecution and the legalization of American fascism.** They didn’t just silence a doctor. They terrorized her entire family to scare every other truth-telling physician into submission. This is what they did to one brave doctor who put patients first. Never forget what they’re capable of when you challenge their narrative.

FRAUD COVERUP: Instead of stopping the massive fraud happening in state programs at your expense,  CA Democrats are covering it all up by passing AB 1608 to allow the High Speed Rail project to hide evidence of fraud from the public! I confronted them on the Assembly Floor with the receipts!

The defendants convicted of Medicaid fraud in Minnesota are not paying back the restitution they were ordered to pay - 50 cases prosecuted - $13.3 million was ordered in restitution - Fraudsters have paid back less than $2.5 million (Less than 18%) Fraudsters are already getting out of prison and skipping all payments Here’s just one example Ali Ismail Warsame was convicted of Medicaid fraud in 2022 and ordered to pay back $667,719 in restitution The judge ordered him to make monthly payments of $300 once he was released from custody Ali Ismail Warsame got out of prison in May of '24, but still has not made a single payment The crazy thing is these foreign criminals are getting granted early probation and getting let out of the prison They steal our money, get released early, then pay nothing back Mass deport them all. Why are they even still here

C-Reason’s point lands because many Americans are exhausted with the escalating “destroy your opponent” rhetoric coming from political elites while simultaneously hearing lectures about “unity” and “democracy.” When a political movement constantly frames half the country as: “extremists”… “threats”… “dangerous”… “evil”… eventually people stop hearing debate and start hearing ideological warfare. And that is the contradiction people are reacting to. The same circles that condemn “harsh rhetoric” will often applaud language about: “breaking” opponents… “reprogramming” voters… “deplatforming” dissent… or treating ordinary Americans as morally contaminated for disagreeing politically. That creates polarization far faster than policy disagreements themselves. The second post underneath is also showing another pattern many people are tired of: collective racial guilt narratives. Judging millions of people alive today by the worst acts committed by people sharing their skin color generations ago is intellectually lazy and socially corrosive. Civilizations across history committed atrocities. Humans are capable of both extraordinary greatness and horrifying cruelty regardless of race. The healthier path is judging individuals by conduct, character, outcomes, and ethics… not inherited guilt. What is fascinating politically is that more Americans of every ethnicity are starting to reject this constant grievance framing altogether. They want safer neighborhoods, stable economies, functioning schools, lower prices, less chaos, and less ideological hostility. And every time political operatives return to: race panic… historical guilt… tribal division… or apocalyptic rhetoric… they push even more independents away. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

Barack Obama talks about “fairness” and “basic freedoms” while many Americans watched their costs explode, racial division deepen, foreign conflicts expand, and trust in institutions collapse during and after his political era. Democrats always frame elections as if democracy itself ends unless their candidates win. It is emotional manipulation disguised as moral urgency. Notice the wording: “voting rights” “fairness” “freedoms” But ordinary Americans are asking far more grounded questions: Can I afford groceries? Can my children read at grade level? Can families live safely? Can small businesses survive taxation and regulation? Can neighborhoods function without chaos and addiction? The political class keeps speaking in abstractions while citizens live with tangible consequences. And many Americans are exhausted from being called extremists simply because they question the outcomes they physically see around them every day. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

Hakeem Jeffries wants to “break” Trump voters He says “we have to defeat them electorally and then we have to break their spirit.” What does that even mean?

Supervisor Lindsey Horvath told me the county can't fix unsheltered homelessness because they don't have the land. They have the land. Rancho Los Amigos in Downey: 74 county-owned acres, bought in 1887 to house the destitute, sitting unused since 1988. Wraparound medical and mental health services already on the adjacent campus. You could shelter up to half of LA County's unsheltered population here alone. Instead it's becoming a $479M office complex, warehouse, and parking garage — built at nearly triple market rate, restricted to the building trades unions that gave $100K to her campaign and helped her pass Measure A, the $1B/year homelessness sales tax she uses to route money to her donors.

Dear Bill Maher, I am waiting for your apology for you yelling at me on your podcast about the Jan 6th “Insurrection” that turns out to be an inside job WITH 26 @FBI CONFIDENCIAL HUMAN SOURCES…

@RobSchneider @Nielkta @FBI @billmaher any comment?

Today, @SenStrickland & CA Senate Republicans tried to bring #SB1035 to the floor - a bill to suspend the gas tax & save drivers over $1/gal. The Democrat supermajority wouldn't even allow a vote. Final tally: 9 AYES. 22 NOES.  Californians paying $6+ at the pump deserve better.

@Shilohmarx Another ex-CIA employee, what are the odds?

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) won Michigan by 19,006 votes in 2024. Michigan reported 8,440,236 registered voters in 2024. Michigan’s citizen voting-age population was 7,646,222. Michigan had 794,014 more voters than eligible voting age citizens.

@SteveHiltonx Not enough good people are willing to foster.

I recently joined a team that rescued a 17 year old child sex trafficking victim. I was in the car as she told her story. It was one of the most shocking things I've heard. Not least because she was escaping FROM THE GOVERNMENT. 'Family Services' bureaucrats planned to send her BACK to the heart of the child sex trade - Figueroa Street in Los Angeles. Something truly sick and inhuman has infected the entire government bureaucracy dealing with children and families...Department of Social Services, County agencies, Child Protective Services, Family Courts. I can promise you that as governor one of my top priorities will be to root out this evil ideology and build a system that truly PROTECTS children and families. You can read my plan to stamp out child sex trafficking below, including the appointment of @PoliticallyBasc as Co-Ordinator of Anti-Trafficking Initiatives. This video was filmed in Lancaster, L.A. County, a few weeks ago, moments after the 17 year old was rescued. She had been temporarily located in a trailer park but was about to be sent by the government back to Figueroa Street. We held the video until we knew she was safe. This morning it was confirmed to me that she is safe and in the care of a loving friend. Soon she will be 18 and able to take control of her life. She told me that she is committed to using her story to help others. She is amazing. Stay tuned.

@teresansteve It’s less than a third of my first backpacking sleeping bag’s weight.

I’m still pretty amazed that you can buy a long 30° backpacking quilt that weighs 14 oz including the stuff sack and pad strap.

After an FBI investigation, a California woman has been charged with illegally paying people to register to vote in federal elections - even falsely listing her own former residence for California mail-out ballots for homeless individuals without a mailing address. justice.gov/opa/pr/califor…
