Bass believes that the use of taxpayer dollars to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles to protect the city and its citizens, as well as federal law enforcement, is ‘shameful’ and ‘despicable.’ With riots and looting destroying Los Angeles (again), it is important to remember that the city’s mayor, Karen Bass, reportedly led a radical Cuban communist cell that was part of a group responsible for radicalizing youth and organizing chaos. In the 1970s, when Bass was in her 20s, she led the Southern California cell of Cuban Venceremos Brigade — a Fidel Castro regime-linked organization and...

IF Negro rioters demeaned the cause of nonviolence, that was not in most cases their intent. The majority of plunderers and burners in American cities last week were about as ideologically motivated as soldier ants. Many, to be sure, were venting the longstanding resentments of black Americans in a white society. But the Negro looters were predominantly driven by a combination of self-help and help-yourself. What of Martin Luther King? “His death just gave us an excuse,” said Ronald Rudolph, 22, in Pittsburgh. “I never did dig the man much when he was alive.” When a well-provisioned Harlem “liberator” was...

close Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on investigation in George Floyd's death The son of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison tweeted on Sunday that he is declaring his support for Antifa after President Trump said that his administration would be declaring it a "Terrorist Organization."

Disgraced former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has sounded the alarm over growing panic inside the FBI, as President Donald Trump continues his brutal crackdown on deep-state corruption, targeting officials involved in the politically motivated January 6 cases.

Walgreens' CEO has admitted that locking up items to avoid shoplifting has not worked - and it will close stores instead. Not only has the practice not curbed theft, it has dramatically hit sales. Over the past few years, major retailers like Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, and Target have increasingly resorted to locking up everyday items such as toothbrushes, deodorant, laundry detergent, coffee, and even milk. The practice has sparked customer frustration, with many complaining about the inconvenience of waiting for an employee to unlock basic necessities. During an earnings call on Friday, Walgreens CEO Tim Wentworth made a startling admission....

We’re all old enough to remember when Gavin Newsom and his band of progressive cronies basically legalized looting in California, right? Thanks to the soft-on-crime crowd, looting has turned into its own booming industry—and it’s now spreading like wildfire. Pun sadly intended. Who can forget the viral videos of typical thugs ransacking stores, casually sauntering out with up to $950 worth of stolen goods, knowing they’d face zero consequences? That’s the progressive brilliance of California’s Prop 47—a law so utterly absurd it pretty much gives criminals a free pass to loot, as long as they stay under the magic $950...

Two looters were arrested recently after they dressed as firefighters and entered local homes vacated in the Palisades Fire, according to information given by the Los Angeles Police Department to community members Saturday evening.

We are witnessing, in real time, an end to civilization. Chaos -this is what a world looks like with no law and order. This is the Democrat wet dream.

L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna announced several measures Thursday to ramp up security in areas that have been evacuated because of devastating fires in the area. More than 20 arrests have been made on suspicion of looting over the last few days. As part of that effort, National Guard troops were in place Friday in some burn zones to provide protection. “The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has officially requested the support of the California National Guard for both fires,” Luna said. “They will be assisting us with traffic control and critical infrastructure protection. “Having additional resources, having the National...
