WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Thursday that the Trump administration has found at least 146,000 migrant children that were unaccounted for during the Biden administration. A total of 450,000 went missing under former President Joe Biden — and “nearly 300,000” are still unaccounted for, Mullin said at a news conference. “We’re investigating reports to where some of these kids claim that they were raped 6[00] to 700 times,” he added. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t care if you have kids. You don’t have kids. I don’t care if you’re a liberal, you’re independent, you’re...

Spencer Pratt made a pointed comment about the LA mayoral race results as he has yet to concede or contest the outcome. “Are they done counting yet?” Pratt wrote in a comment on X. The former reality TV star has not yet directly addressed his loss to left-wing Councilwoman Nithya Raman, who defeated Pratt and will now face incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in the November runoff. Pratt, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump, overperformed on election night, leading the Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidate by at least eight points. However, he soon began to lose his lead as more...

"Bass has a real race on her hands, if in fact Raman is the one who advances," he said. "And the Democratic establishment is backing Karen Bass. But versus Spencer Pratt, she was crushing him. She wanted to face Pratt. She wanted nothing to do with Raman. That's why these conspiracy theories simply make no sense, people."

Odds of Spencer Pratt Advancing to the general election for the Los Angeles mayoral race rise to 76% Per @Kalshi

Angelenos need leaders willing to stand up and speak out. Jane has never been afraid to do either

Los Angeles firefighters have broken ranks to tear into Mayor Karen Bass over the disastrous state of the department across the city. Officers revealed to the California Post they are trapped in marathon shifts, missing paychecks and going through hell while its budget flatlines despite rising risks of wildfires. They warned response times are climbing and emergency callouts are exploding but City Hall was refusing to pump in desperately needed cash. Fire crews are now pooling together more than $1 million of their own cash to push for a sales tax measure they claim would cover just the basics to...

LOS ANGELES—Spencer Pratt knows he doesn’t need to be universally liked. At an annual tennis invitational and white party at a billionaire’s Beverly Hills mansion last weekend, the reality TV villain and mayoral hopeful marveled at his potential path to victory. “It’s pretty incredible you can become the mayor with only 51% of people liking you. I’m like, ‘I can do that,’” Pratt told the crowd. The 42-year-old rose to millennial fame as the dark prince of “The Hills,” playing the love interest of his now-wife, Heidi Montag. He provoked conflict with fellow cast members and was seen by fans...
