LOS ANGELES — Downtown in the City of Angels is looking more and more like a ghost town. The famed Los Angeles neighborhood has become a shadow of its former glory — with rows of boarded up shops, chain stores leaving in droves and hoards of drug-using vagrants sparking major safety concerns for shoppers and business owners alike. The Post can reveal that there are more than 100 vacant storefronts in the area’s Historic Core, which was the rip-roaring heart of the downtown shopping and entertainment district. A map of business closures in the Historic Core of LA / Donald...

It appears that Denver, Colorado, Mayor Mike Johnston’s promise of rebellion and insurrection against the Trump administration will not materialize, at least any time soon. Just after President Trump was elected in November, the far-left mayor warned that moms and cops would cordon off the city to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from entering, thereby stopping the arrest of illegals. But nothing happened when agents found and locked up more than 240 illegals from July 12 through July 20. They were the usual collection of rapists, killers, drug addicts, and drunk drivers. Meanwhile, in New York City, the...

A massive residential tower in California will provide homeless people with a swanky new living space and luxury amenities, including a café, gym and TV lounge. The 19-story tower, which is set to open this month in Los Angeles' Skid Row neighborhood, will provide sprawling views of downtown and the San Gabriel Mountains, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Drug addicts in Oregon have come up with a scheme that sees them using their food stamps to buy cases of water which they then immediately empty out in order to obtain a 0.10 cents bottle deposit to then buy drugs with. Video footage shot in a parking lot on Portland sees one group of people with shopping carts full of pallets of bottled water, only to have them empty the contents out on the ground. The alleged addicts will then return to the supermarket from where they acquired the bottled water to obtain a recycling refund.

A New York man has been brutally shafted to last place on his grandmother’s “ranking board” because of his two new tattoos. Dan LaMorte, 27, took to TikTok on Monday revealing that his unnamed nana ranks her 10 grandchildren from most to least favorite on a display set up in her living room. “This is my grandma’s ranking board,” the grandson stated in the video — which quickly clocked up 1.6 million views on the social media app.

A lengthy weekend exposé in The New York Post has chronicled how the outgoing de Blasio administration's long turning a blind eye has allowed the Garment District and some midtown Manhattan streets to increasingly resemble the deteriorating zombie-like feel of the open drug use problem in places like San Francisco, or Vancouver in Canada. It also calls to mind the reputation of an open-air crime infested drug den and "fear city" that came to define daily life and commutes in the 1970s and 1980s - also following more than a year of the Covid-induced exodus of people moving out of...

"The Worst Governor in America streak continues," Stefanik tweeted, sharing a link to a New York Post report on the governor’s daily press briefing where he said that drug addicts would be among those administered COVID-19 vaccines. "This time prioritizing vaccines for drug addicts over tens of thousands of seniors who have been home bound since the start of the pandemic," Stefanik wrote. Cuomo’s press briefing on Monday came as the state was expecting to receive nearly 260,000 doses of Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.

..The developing wisdom—earned the hard way in Wuhan, Washington, and Italy—has been that older people and sicker people are substantially more likely to suffer severe illness or die from COVID-19 than their younger, healthier counterparts. Older people are much more likely than young people to have lung disease, kidney disease, hypertension, or heart disease, and those conditions are more likely to transform a coronavirus infection into something nastier. But what happens when these assumptions don’t hold up, and the young people battling the pandemic share the same risks? So far, about one in 10 deaths in the United States...

The impeachment coup shows how desperate the Dems are. Their “witch hunt” is destined for failure. They know that this “witch hunt” will not change anything, so they use the spotlight to create media fuzz by using lies! They even tried to stage a huge protest in front of the Capitol. A coalition of progressive advocacy groups descended on the U.S. capitol Wednesday with plans to engage in “mass non-violent civil disobedience” aimed at pressuring senators to allow witnesses in President Donald Trump’s ongoing impeachment trial. The “Swarm the Capitol” event was organized by Center for Popular Democracy Action, Public...

What was once a hub for newcomers is leaving a bad taste in the mouths of its former residents as more and more citizens of the San Francisco Bay Area are jumping ship at a record-breaking pace. This is what happens when one Party has been in control for TOO many years. The cost of living in San Francisco is staggering. Renting a two-bedroom apartment costs $4,650 a month on average, which is the highest rate in the country, and if you want to buy a home in the Bay Area, the median price is $825,000. In fact, people are...

“Tory scum off our streets, Nazi scum off our streets!” shouted left-wing protesters in central London. Around a thousand demonstrators, many masked and holding antifa symbols, poured onto the streets of the British capital to protest the U.K.’s election results. The Conservatives won in a landslide election the day before, likely guaranteeing Britain’s withdrawal from the EU at the end of next month. The British capital descended into chaos as the Met Police struggled to contain protesters connected to antifa, socialist and communist groups. They had shut down the streets in and around Westminster. They demanded a “revolution” and the...

You’re gonna love the new Starbucks! Starbucks recently enacted their “Third Place Policy” which means employees should consider anyone who enters the establishment a customer regardless whether they make a purchase. “We are committed to creating a culture of warmth and belonging where everyone is welcome,” Starbucks said. Because customers who pay north of $5.00 for a fancy latte want to have a side of syringes. Starbucks enacted this policy after they faced a huge backlash when two black men were arrested at a Philadelphia location. This new policy is not only upsetting Starbucks employees, but paying customers as well,...

Users of cannabis, cocaine and heroin are victims of discrimination and should no longer be called druggies or junkies, an international drug legalisation pressure group declared yesterday. It called for an end to negative language for drug users and their habits in order to ensure their human rights are respected. As part of the drive to persuade people to think differently about drugs, the words addict and even drug user must be thrown out, a report from the Global Commission on Drug Policy said. It urged newspapers and broadcasters to encourage more positive attitudes by calling a drug user a...
