Glad to see my analysis of @ZohranKMamdani’s recent announcement of a new Office of Community Safety appear in today’s @nypost: nypost.com/2026/03/28/opi…

@Rafa_Mangual @RobHarbin8 @ZohranKMamdani @nypost Good piece.

Four-time felon…

A new study finds California has the second worst roads in America, ahead of only Alaska. When you pay the highest gas taxes yet drive over the deepest potholes, your government is broken.

If only there was some other way to alert first responders before he bled out. You know, like some sort of technology that detects and reports gunshots so that we don’t have to rely solely on 9-1-1 calls… Oh wait, @ChicagoMayor got rid of it.

The current general manager of the Los Angeles Dept. of Water & Power (LADWP) had an annual salary of $750,000. The General manager before her made $447,000. During the current GM’s watch, the LADWP is facing numerous lawsuits because of allegations of inadequate water pressure in the hydrants, the Santa Ynez Reservoir, which was EMPTY at the time of the Palisades Fire, altering station logs to conceal the timeline of events during the fires initial hours and other alleged misdeeds. 12 lives lost, 6,800 structures destroyed and 23,000 acres destroyed during the current GM’s watch. The City of LA is right now honoring and praising her and she had a going away party yesterday because she is resigning. This is why no one trusts government anymore. LA City and LA County elected officials - they’re all on the same side. And it’s sadly not ours.

NEW: San Francisco judge Linda Colfax has released a man who fatally assaulted an 84-year-old because the prison sentence would have a "poor impact" on him. 25-year-old Antoine Watson was granted probation just two months after he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and assault. Watson violently assaulted Vicha Ratanapakdee in 2021, which resulted in his death just two days later. He was acquitted of first-and second-degree murder charges and instead convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Colfax says Watson being in prison would have a "poor impact" on him and didn't think he should be there because he "expressed remorse," according to the SF Chronicle. Colfax is accused of hiding details from the jury in an apparent effort to help Watson escape prison time. Infuriating and evil.

$22 Million. But they always need more taxpayer money.

When a man assaulted California politician @SpeakerPelosi's husband in San Francisco, he got life in prison with no parole. When a man kills an Asian senior citizen for sport in San Francisco, the progressive @SFSuperiorCourt releases him.

“Hernandez, who was picked up by police on March 10, is a  ‘serial criminal’ with a lengthy rap sheet of at least 15 charges, including aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and domestic violence, according to the Department of Homeland Security.” The illegal immigrant who killed Katie Abraham while drunk had also been pulled over previously for a DUI. Imagine if they had never been allowed in or if they had, at the minimum, be deported after the first offense… The pattern is clear: our elected officials refuse to hold illegal immigrants accountable to the law. Citizens pay the price.

American shows what it’s like at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles at nighttime This is the park that LA mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom said was a “family park” The city could fix this, they just don’t want to

The erosion of law and order. Not by the department, but by the city Council. nbclosangeles.com/investigations…

"It's not mine. I was holding it for a friend." --Every young thug caught with a gun. Of course this guy will be elected to the LA city council. You almost have to be a criminal to serve on it these days. latimes.com/california/sto…

This message is to @JBPritzker. If this insane and dangerous bill passes the legislature, lands on your desk, and you don’t veto it, then you are going to have a full on revolt on your hands. We have had enough of this bullshit.

It's official: A San Francisco judge just suspended the sentence of Antoine Watson, Grandpa Vicha's killer, and released him on probation. The judge said she thought imprisonment would have a "poor impact" on Watson. This is the state of SF courts. gli.st/lvyg5lck

As of late 2025, approx. $518 - $573 million in taxpayer dollars has been spent on the CA Capital Annex Project (construction to replace the building that will house the governor and all our alleged elected leaders - it will actually include hallways and areas so our elected leaders can hide from us and the media - we are paying for that too). The total budget allocated so far by the radicals in Sacramento - $1.1 billion. Only about 50% of the construction has been completed. The radicals in Sacramento - the ones most people keep voting for - refuse to tell all the voters how much of OUR additional money will be spent on the project, what is the current status of the project and when it will be completed. Thank you Ashley for doing the job that our government should be doing - providing the voters in CA with some actual transparency.

“…safety is not defined by how quickly a case is solved after the fact. It is defined by whether a young woman like Sheridan is protected in the first place.”

Come for the evidence-free claims about police brutality… Stay for the chutzpah it takes to call for sidelining a counterterrorism unit from responding to large gatherings just weeks after terrorists tried to kill a bunch of people with homemade bombs at just such a gathering.

🔍 NEW INVESTIGATION The NYPD publishes two official reports every week. 📄 One says crime is down nearly 6%. 📄 The other — published by the same department, covering the same city, the same week — says: 🔴 Transit disorder complaints: +29% 🔴 Housing disorder complaints: +29% 🔴 Disorderly persons calls: +20% 🔴 Total 911 QOL calls: +11% 🟢 Drug calls: −35% (real, and noted) 📄 QOL excludes crime calls — that's the point. It captures the conditions CompStat doesn't. They have never explained the gap. Nobody has asked. 📄 Full forensic analysis with all source documents: 👉 whitecollarfraud.com/2026/03/26/is-… ⚠️ It gets worse. Violent crime in 2025 is 30.8% ABOVE 2019 — the last pre-pandemic year. Felony assault alone is up 44%. The "historic lows" being celebrated at press conferences are lows measured against pandemic-inflated years — not against where the city actually was before COVID. And that 44% felony assault figure? It hasn't finished moving. Because felony assaults are routinely upgraded after medical records arrive — a broken jaw, a hospitalization — the initial count is always understated. The 44% above 2019 may be a floor, not a ceiling. ⚠️ Now the transit number specifically. The NYPD reports transit crime up just 0.8%. But transit disorder calls from the same subway system over the same period are up 29%. Those two numbers describe the same trains. They cannot both be telling the full story. And transit crime figures are currently revising upward at 11.2% — nearly triple the citywide average. The 0.8% is the least settled number in the report and the most likely to flip. ⚠️ And the numbers themselves don't hold still. Analysis of eight years of NYPD press releases shows every single monthly crime figure was later revised upward. Every one. Never down. Always up. The current revision rate is running at nearly 5% — almost identical to the reported decline of 5.86%. ⚠️ One more thing they don't mention. When prior year numbers get quietly revised upward after the headlines run, that higher baseline makes this year's decline look bigger than it actually is. The reported decline is potentially inflated at both ends simultaneously. Same direction. Every time. 📄 What is original here and what is not. The revision pattern has been independently confirmed by Vital City's research. But Vital City does not examine the QOL report, does not compare current crime levels to the 2019 pre-pandemic baseline, and does not identify the compounding effect of upward baseline revisions on reported year-over-year declines. Those findings are the independent work of this investigation. 📄 Consider what would have to be true for the official story to hold. Classification thresholds would need to be consistent despite documented pressures to undercount. Preliminary figures would need to be reliable despite eight years of evidence they are not. The comparison baseline would need to be valid despite being measured against a pandemic spike. The Quality of Life report would need to be irrelevant despite covering the same environments where crime is being celebrated as historic. Every single one of those conditions, independently, produces a more favorable headline. That may be coincidence. The reader can decide. 📄 Full forensic analysis with all source documents linked: 👉whitecollarfraud.com/2026/03/26/is-…

@Rafa_Mangual Some of the comments ignoring or excusing the uncivilized behavior is mind boggling. Not hard to figure out how such an incompetent moron was elected Mayor.

The last two times we took a family trip to visit relatives in Chicago, we stayed out by the airport rather than downtown. Sad, because Chicago is such a beautiful city with so much potential. Unfortunately, it’s being governed by people who aren’t serious about public safety.
