My jaw dropped watching this
Reporter Matt Seedorff asks Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass about the homeless numbers, he says people don’t trust the data because they can see the growing number of encampments in LA
She literally says not to trust what you’re seeing, trust her
Reporter “There's just overall a lack of trust with these numbers. It's not what people see”
Mayor Karen Bass “I will tell you something. It is absolutely what you see”

It makes me very sad when I think about The San-Francisco of 40 years ago. It was a beautiful city. Fine restaurants everywhere. San-Francisco was world class in just about everything they did. It was not cheap even 40 years ago but you did get value for your money. I loved the place.
That San-Francisco is no more due to insane liberalism. I will never go there again on vacation. I wish not to step over human feces, drug needles, nor around drugged out people laying on the sidewalk in sleeping bags and hovels they build. San-Francisco committed suicide with the help of people like Newsom.
She’s a Commie, Jim....
Goeth* thanks.
Societally & spiritually overall, there’s SO much positive momentum to be optimistic about! At heart, people in America were never as far Left as was presumed anyway - even before Trump. There was always the so-called silent majority.
But that doesn’t electorally* translate if the RNC is sleeping, if Republicans aren’t still fighting for EVERY vote...It’s vital to keep communication going...
I think due to age and valid safety concerns, Trump isn’t doing events that put him in the midst of average everyday people anymore — like he did with the rallies and whatnot...
NO constituency should be taken for granted. Miami just elected their first Democrat mayor in decades.
Forgot to post this about the city. Wife and I were walking around and decided to sit down and rest and have a drink. We went into a bar and it was about half full but dimly lit. When my eyes adjusted to the dim light I turned to my wife and said, “you are the only female in the bar.” LOL.
The waiter was courteous and proper, I had no problem with it. It was their bar. I just found it amusing as did my wife.

You can watch live webcams of the homeless in San Francisco on YouTube. The sidewalks are lined with tents.
Fake news. She actually answered quite well, in standard political speak, but without jaw dropping statements he wanted her to make.
Incorrect Sir! You have to flush it twice thus 3.2 gallons!
To Mayor Bass’s credit — even as a Congresswoman, she NEVER advocated for Defunding the Police AND vocally, actively pushed back against it when confronted by progressives, even during the height of 2020 BLM protests...
Not to mention the people running against her are...WORSE :(
The man she defeated back in 2022...Rick Caruso, he would have been brilliant. As a developer, he built what continue to be the most beautiful and walkable parts of Los Angeles — and also has experience going back far as the 80s with the Department of Water & Power.

Ha. I listened to her vacuous BS. She promised them the moon and stars but when she gets to Tallahassee she’ll vote the straight progressive line like they always do.
No, it wasn’t about her message, it was about TURNOUT.
As in LOW TURNOUT. Period, end of story.
Turning Point and their coalition of voter turnout champions made the 2024 election. It’s not about soothing the butthurt of the Jew haters — you won’t admit it but that’s where you’re going. Kiss the butts of the isolationists and jewhaters and libtards.
But that ain’t it. Your perception that there are butts that need more kissing is a red herring. Here it is in black and white:
1. TURN OUT THE R VOTE
2. TURN OUT THE R VOTE
3. TURN OUT THE R VOTE
4. TURN OUT THE R VOTE
5. TURN OUT THE R VOTE
If voter turnout in that election had been the 80% it SHOULD BE IN EVERY ONE OF OUR ELECTIONS, AT A MINIMUM, then Ms. Progressive Skank Emily would have been congratulating her Republican opponent, not blathering on CNN. Heck, if turnout had been the 45-ish % that it was in 2024, the R would have won. The Ratcraps were more motivated to vote — not more numerous in the district because of Gregory’s issue insight.

Jewish people in America worry about affording healthcare too.
A lot of mainly, YOUNG Jewish people voted for Mamdani NYC.
Fewer than four out of 10 New Yorkers voted Mamdani in.
Lazy, stupid, paying the price.
Correction: fewer than 4 out of 10 New Yorkers registerd to vote VOTED in the election. Sixty percent of those voted Mamdani. So ONE in freaking FOUR New Yorkers votes that communist islamist demon-oppressed SOB into office.
Lazy, stupid New YOrkers paying the price.
well of those “few” - 10 percent voted for Trump in 2024. Trump admitted it himself when Mamdani visited the Oval Office.
And New York is a US anomaly anyhow.
What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Good grief, you’re all over the map with your “argument”.
I’m saying that a lot of the voters who pushed Trump over the edge — and gave him the best results of any Republican even in ‘anomalies’ like NYC — was the emphasis on things like: affordability, draining the swamp, make America healthy again. And yes: peace and art of the deal, not war.
Liberal democrats have a seemingly unlimited supply of slap worthy faces.
President Trump has delivered on ALL of those things. Including peace. LONG TERM, lasting peace, through strength and DEALING with threats to long term peace and stability rather than catering to the idiotic libtard-isolationist idea of “peace” defined as “head-in-the-sand avoidance of all conflict”.
I am getting what I voted for, because I know (for example) that the disgusting illegal problem coupled with the disgusting NGO money laundering and welfare problem in this country IMPACTS AFFORDABLE LIVING by those who deserve to be here and pay taxes to do so. PDJT is doing his damndest to fight those on both fronts.
And how can you even HINT that PDJT has not done his level best to fight the deepstate swamp?
