    The homeless man accused of a shooting spree in Santa Monica has been charged with three counts of attempted murder amid a wave of violence from transients that has Los Angeles residents on edge. David John Hairston II, 31, allegedly ambushed and shot a police officer at a pedestrian mall in the seaside enclave on Wednesday, just days after allegedly shooting two teens who were riding a self-driving taxi, according to prosecutors. Hairston was arrested after a citywide manhunt; he faces various weapons charges on top of the attempted murders, with a maximum sentence of 104 years to life in...

    Squatters have been wreaking havoc in parts of Los Angeles, setting fires and even carrying out a random attack in a troubling rash of violence that has left residents frightened. The chaos first cropped up in Beverly Grove after an abandoned apartment complex was recently taken over by a group of vagrants. “It’s been absolutely terrifying. We are on hold with our lives right now until this is resolved,” Anita Cavallo, a woman who lives in the Beverly Grove area, told ABC7.
  • JD Vance Warns Democrat Governors of Consequences of Letting ‘Rioters Burn’ Cities to the Ground: ‘Going to Send Federal Law Enforcement’

    Vice President JD Vance warned Democrat governors that if they allow rioters to “burn great American cities to the ground,” the Trump administration would “send federal law enforcement in to protect the people.” While speaking from Los Angeles, Vance explained that the “good news” was that the rioting in Los Angeles had “gotten a lot better.” Vance added that he had “heard from everybody” that the soldiers and U.S. Marines who had been deployed to quell the violence of the Los Angeles riots were “still very much a necessary part” of what was happening. Vance also criticized California Gov. Gavin...

    The founding fathers aimed to ensure our liberty under law, in conformity with the “laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” Natural law refers to the moral law the Creator has impressed upon the world. For example, Samuel Adams once wrote: “Thou shall do no injury to thy neighbor, is the voice of nature and reason, and it is confirmed by written revelation.” But today, we see a lot of anarchy in the streets.

    Jeff Younger did everything a father could do to save his son. He fought like hell in court. He pleaded with judges. He went public. And still, his ex-wife, a radical leftist pediatrician with no biological tie to the child, was given full authority to chemically castrate their son, James, and transition him into “Luna.” James was just 8 years old. In court, Anne Georgulas admitted she conceived James and his twin brother, Jude, using in-vitro fertilization with a donor egg. She carried the pregnancy, but genetically, she isn’t the boys’ mother. That didn’t matter to the court. Ideology did....

    Seattle has lost one of its most high-profile tech events due to mounting concerns over public safety and deteriorating conditions in the city’s downtown core. Microsoft has confirmed that it will no longer host its annual Build conference in Seattle starting in 2026, citing issues related to rampant homelessness, visible drug use, and urban decay. According to an internal email obtained by journalist Jonathan Choe of the Discovery Institute, Visit Seattle—the city’s official tourism and marketing organization—was informed that Microsoft will cancel its 2026 event and release all future holds for the conference in Seattle. The email, titled “DEFINITE BOOKING...

    A doctor in the south-central region of Los Angeles County is calling it quits after years of battling denizens of a rooftop homeless encampment that have continuously terrorized her and her employees, costing the general practitioner tens of thousands of dollars in the process. Dr. Tahani Soliman owns the building she runs her practice out of on the corner of Rugby and Zoe avenues in Huntington Park. A multi-level parking garage next door to her practice has reportedly been a hub for unhoused people, who are easily able to access her roof, camp out, steal electricity and scrap metal from...

    A Maryland teen busted for allegedly breaking into 121 cars in a single night was ordered released within hours — and irate local police say more than a dozen more cars were looted the next day. The suspect — a 16-year-old boy — was arrested late last week by the Laurel Police Department after dozens of auto break-in reports came pouring into their office on the morning of May 4. The crimes spanned Laurel, surrounding part of Prince George’s County and nearby Howard County, with surveillance footage from across the area capturing a gang of three teens roving around in...

    A battle is brewing over an Oakland neighborhood's do-it-yourself solution to stopping speeders and sideshows. Residents said they were fed up and fought back with their own speed bumps, but the city said that fix won't fly. Earlier this week, the city's Department of Transportation (DOT) tore up the homemade speed bumps at East 21st Street and 19th Avenue. Residents installed them out of desperation eight months ago after claiming they pled with the city for four years to address dangerous sideshows in the area and nothing was done. "We've had peace for the past eight months, a hard peace,"...

    Canadian Government Begins Testing Inhaled Covid mRNA ‘AeroVax’ Frank BergmanMay 1, 2025 - 12:55 pm The Canadian government has begun ramping up testing for a chilling new Covid mRNA “AeroVax” that seeks to overcome “vaccine hesitancy” by using aerosols to “vaccinate” the general public. Unlike traditional “vaccines” that are deployed using injections, the new AeroVax is an atomized spray that is inhaled. The new “vaccines” are sprayed in aerosol form and breathed in by recipients. The AeroVax was developed by researchers at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-funded McMaster University in Canada. According to researchers, the Canadian government’s Institutes of...

    A terrorized Bronx woman has armed herself with a pair of pit bulls in a desperate effort to defend herself from an unhinged career criminal who keeps breaking into her home — but remains on the streets. Beauty salon owner Itesha Hairston said she’s petrified that 33-year-old Jarrell Coburn is stalking her after the vagrant broke into her home three times in under 10 days last month, but keeps getting a slap on the wrist due to a soft-on-crime court system that won’t lock him up. In fact, Coburn, who has at least nine unsealed busts on his rap sheet,...

    In a move that has sparked outrage among law enforcement, crime victims, and New Mexico residents, House Democrats in the state legislature voted on Saturday to pass House Bill 255 (HB 255), a controversial measure that includes a provision to give violent juvenile offenders up to $2,000 per month in taxpayer-funded stipends. At the same time, Democratic lawmakers killed House Bill 134 (HB 134), a bipartisan effort aimed at holding violent juvenile offenders accountable for their crimes. HB 255 ... is more about financial handouts than meaningful reform. Buried within the bill is a three-year pilot program that grants substantial...
