Drew Carey criticized Spencer Pratt’s run for Los Angeles mayor in a blunt social media post. The "Price is Right" host waded into the political waters with a Threads post and encouraged LA residents to think again before June primaries. "Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Pratt for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their a--," Carey wrote. "I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass." He added, "F--- this guy already." Representatives for Pratt and Carey did not immediately respond...

n less than a week, the U.S. attorney in Miami supervising the probe of Obama-Biden era government weaponization secured indictments against Cuban communist dictator Raul Castro and an alleged money launderer for Venezuelan strongarm man Nicolas Maduro. But it was Jason Reding Quinones’ request for an indictment against one of his own former federal prosecutors for trying to steal a sealed, classified report from Jack Smith’s investigation of President Donald Trump that may have sent the loudest shockwaves through government. The charges against former Assistant U.S. Attorney Carmen Mercedes Lineberger carry more than 20 years in prison, and put on...

If you believe the governor of California, the state is laying track that it hasn’t bought yet. ================================================================== It was an induced hallucination, happily shared by a crowd of professional journalists, and a useful reminder of Gavin Newsom’s tendency to swagger like a winner on the lightest of pretexts. Back in February, the California governor spoke to the media in a crowded railyard, posing in front of a long line of freight cars and the piles of construction materials they had just delivered while he bragged about the extraordinary new progress the state was making toward a functioning high-speed rail...

The California Post has obtained a video purportedly showing the San Diego mosque shooters carrying out their deadly attack. The footage, reviewed by the Daily Caller, appears to show the shooting suspects, 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Velasquez, preparing to enter the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday. The California Post refers to Caleb’s surname as “Velasquez,” though outlets such as The New York Times and ABC30 News refer to his surname as “Vazquez.” The Daily Caller was unable to verify the correct spelling of the suspect’s surname. The suspects appear to be wearing camouflage-print outfits and vests...

As RedState reported, there was a mass shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday, just before noon Pacific time. Three people were killed, including a security guard at the mosque named Amin Abdullah, who reportedly "played a pivotal role" in saving lives. [Snip] Early on, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl told reporters without going into too much detail that "There was definitely hate rhetoric involved" in the shootings. On Tuesday, however, some of the pages from the alleged manifesto of the shooters were shared in an X thread by San Diego activist Amy Reichert, and it...

In California, 90,000 prisoners have been issued computer tablets so they can connect with the outside world. While the tablets are free, usage fees may be charged to inmates. Text messages are five cents each. Video calls are 16 cents per minute. Movie rentals are $9 each and must be viewed within 48 hours. Inmate Grace Coleman complained "we can't afford to pay these normal world prices." State Sen. Josh Becker (D-13th district) agrees and says "it's the injustice of the whole thing. And not only injustice, but also the illogical nature of charging in a world where telecommunications costs...

t's a rough time to be working at Facebook, Instagram, or one of Meta's many other properties. Mark Zuckerberg's social media giant will reportedly hand out roughly 8,000 pink slips on Wednesday, May 20, eliminating about 10% of its global workforce. Notably, though, these cuts will arrive on the heels of one of the most lucrative quarters in the company's history: $56.31 billion in revenue and $26.8 billion in net income (1) for the first three months of 2026, per Meta's Q1 earnings filing. For many Meta employees, that stark contrast is apparently driving morale into the dirt. According to...

NYP Reporter: Prior to boarding Air Force One to depart Beijing, the entire U.S. delegation disposed of every item provided to them by their Chinese hosts. Gifts, badges, pins, and commemorative items were all dumped into a trash bin on site. The directive was absolute, no item of Chinese origin was permitted to board the aircraft. The precautions extended beyond the departure itself. Delegation members had left all personal electronic devices at home before traveling to China and operated exclusively on clean burner phones throughout the duration of the trip.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing a surprisingly intense and serious primary threat from challenger Spencer Pratt this election cycle, with Pratt focusing on the wildfires that destroyed much of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood and using the general anger of Los Angelenos about the disastrous mismanagement of their city against the mayor. As part of that well-executed and high-energy campaign, he has been releasing very funny ads that feature the use of artificial intelligence to generate entertaining scenes that call out the mayor for her terrible policies and their even worse effects. Such is about what Mayor Bass freaked...

Eric Trump announced Friday that he will be suing MS Now’s Jen Psaki and the network for allegations she made that he accompanied his father, President Donald Trump, to China to further his own business interests. In a segment that aired this week after Eric Trump arrived in China, Psaki said that he is on the board of a company called ALT5 Sigma. “Today, while Eric is in China with his dad, the Financial Times is reporting that this company has a memorandum of understanding to explore a potential deal with a Chinese chip manufacturer [Nano Labs] to build AI...

Hillary Clinton could not get to her keyboard fast enough. Within hours of reports that the Justice Department is considering settling President Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, Clinton was on X accusing Trump of “shaking down taxpayers” and declaring that the “corruption meter is flashing red.” What Clinton did not bother to mention, and what the left keeps hoping you will forget, is why this lawsuit exists in the first place: a former IRS contractor named Charles Littlejohn stole thousands of confidential tax returns, smuggled them out of government systems on personal devices including an iPod, and...

Data obtained by America First Legal also shows how many people used "vouching" to register to vote in 2022 and 2020. Data from the Minnesota secretary of state shows that 18,898 people used “vouching” to either update their voter registration, or become registered to vote, in Minnesota in 2024. That information was obtained by America First Legal in a data request. Under Minnesota state law, an individual seeking to become registered to vote on Election Day can confirm their residency simply by having a registered voter “vouch” for them. In short, the registered voter signs an oath confirming the unregistered...

Former Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell was accused by multiple women of sending sexual messages, including “videos of him masturbating,” after becoming one of the first members of Congress to join Snapchat in an effort to restore “faith” in “democracy.” In a bombshell report on Sunday – less than a month after Swalwell resigned from Congress after being accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple women – CNN spoke to “more than a dozen” women who claimed the congressman had made them feel uncomfortable, both in person and online, over the past decade. Several women told CNN that the congressman...
