Let's check in on NYC... -Trash is piled 8 feet high and dirty snow piles have taken over -18 people froze to death -Mamdani defended and visited a man who tried stabbing a police officer with a knife -His appointments are all either radical communists or literal terrorist supporters -Antisemitic hate crime is up 182% -Mamdani is complaining about a $12B deficit while promising everyone everything for free and driving revenue out of the city -He's the first mayor in nearly 100 years to break the tradition of attending the archbishop's installation ceremony (1/3 of NYC residents are Catholic) So...

The full extent of the Palisades Fire report cover-up has been revealed. The California Post has obtained the first draft of the Palisades After-Action Fire Report — before it was quietly altered and released to the public. Newly uncovered edits show sweeping changes to the 92-page document that was meant to deliver a warts-and-all account of the disaster, putting more pressure on Mayor Karen Bass to explain whether her office played a role in softening the language to blunt criticism of the city’s response to a fire that killed at least 31 people and destroyed more than 16,000 structures. Mayor...

Embattled Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass secretly altered the official Palisades Fire response report to downplay the failures made by the city and fire department when the deadly blaze erupted, a new report said. Bass, after seeing an early draft of the after-action report, wanted key findings of the Los Angeles Fire Department’s shortcomings scrubbed or watered down — and even warned then-interim Fire Chief Ronnie Villanueva the unedited conclusions could expose the city to legal liability, sources close to the Democrat’s staff told the Los Angeles Times. Bass was cautioned that the self-serving tweaks in with the report was...

Seattle has become so liberal (socialist) that a glitch in their armor is so different up here. Here's an article from the times that I thought was hilarious in it's reason and I applaud The Seattle Police Officers Guild: https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/seattle-mayor-police-guild-ice-directives You go cops! wy69

A Long Beach mayoral candidate is drawing intense scrutiny after issuing what critics describe as a reckless and potentially dangerous call for gang involvement in opposing federal immigration enforcement. Rogelio Martinez, who is running for mayor of Long Beach, California, posted a statement urging local gang leaders to mobilize against Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of his push to make the city “ICE free.” In the message, Martinez explicitly called on gangs to organize and appear in person at City Hall, language that opponents say amounts to an invitation for confrontation with federal authorities. “I am calling every gang...

(snip)As part of the changes, the mayor directed the Seattle Police Department to investigate, verify, and document reports of immigration enforcement activity. If officers are sent to a location where apparent enforcement is underway, they will document the activity with in-car and body-worn video, verify the identification of apparent federal agents, and secure scenes of potentially unlawful acts to gather evidence for prosecutors, according to the announcement.(snip)

Protesters barricaded themselves in San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria's office, demanding police policies to shield the community from federal immigration agents. The group had barricaded themselves in the mayor's office for hours today, chanting for the cameras "Hey Todd, listen to your people". The San Diego police moved in and hauled the protestors away in handcuffs.

VIDEO Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara has had to put up with a lot considering that most of his city leaders are completely CORRUPT. However, the mayor, Jacob Frey, might have taken the situation in Minneapolis one mental hurdle too far when he claimed the city residents wanted the police to FIGHT ICE. You can see O'Hara's reaction to that claim by the way his eyebrows JUMPED the moment those words left Frey's mouth. Don't be too surprised if a police chief resignation letter will soon follow Frey's rant.

All lies! Starts at the 10 minute mark.

Seattle drug addicts have praised the city's new mayor for allegedly telling cops not to arrest people doing illegal substances on the crime-ridden city's streets. One 36-year-old local, who gave his name as Brandon, told the Daily Mail on Wednesday that Mayor Katie Wilson is 'cool' after her office and Seattle's progressive city attorney Erika Evans reportedly plotted to avoid prosecuting most public drugs use cases. Brandon, who lives on the streets because he prefers them to his taxpayer-funded apartment, said of Wilson's new plans: 'They tried to do that already during Covid. We went buck wild! I'm not gonna...

"I got more water coming outta my eyes than DWP had in both of our reservoirs" -@spencerpratt Television personality Spencer Pratt, who lost his home in the Palisades Fire and has been a vocal critic in the months since of the city's and state's preparation for and response to the conflagration, announced Wednesday that he is running for mayor of Los Angeles. Speaking at a "They Let Us Burn" rally held by the Palisades Fire Residents Coalition to mark the one-year anniversary of the fire's start, the 42-year-old Pratt again repeated his complaints about authorities' handling of the blaze, then...

In a shocking betrayal of American sovereignty, Kaohly Vang, who brazenly admitted to being an illegal alien along with her parents due to fraudulent paperwork, was sworn in as St. Paul Mayor. Conservatives erupted in outrage, labeling Minnesota a national security threat riddled with corruption and voter fraud under Gov. Walz. Many users drew attention to the significant breach of national sovereignty and expressed shock at the lack of consequences. Others called for deportations or denaturalizations in response to this scandal. Many also tagged members of the Trump administration to bring order to this chaotic situation. Posting the news to...

That the radical Left worldwide would celebrate the inauguration of communist Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City was entirely predictable. What is striking, however, is the ostentatious triumphalism displayed at a time when the Trump administration is systematically exposing illegal extraction mechanisms and financial flows step by step. It is a moment of celebration for the radical Left in the United States. After the defeat in the 2024 presidential election, the inauguration of Zohran Kwame Mamdani -- the first Muslim mayor of New York City -- marked the resurgence of socialist forces within the Democratic Party. Naturally,...

One of the classic definitions of antisemitism is insisting on one standard of morality and/or legality for the Jewish people, but a very different one for everyone else. For example — and I’m pulling this silly, unrealistic example out of a hat — if an American politician vowed to arrest the duly-elected Israeli leader but decried the arrest of the illegitimately elected Venezuelan leader, your Antisemitism Detector should start beeping. Especially when the Venezuelan leader was a wanted fugitive under American law — and the Israeli leader was not. Welcome to the manic mind of New York City Mayor Zohran...

You may remember Julie Su from multiple failed confirmation hearings during the Biden administration. Even by the standards of the Biden administration, the $32 billion in fraud that happened on Su’s watch seemed like it might be a bit too much. Under Su, the head of California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, an estimated $32.6 billion in unemployment insurance EDD fraud took place. And when I say fraud took place, I mean the kind of fraud that a small child could have spotted. Literally. One of the applicants was using the name “Poopy Pants”. In today’s article, ‘California’s ‘Wealth’ Tax...

A sitting U.S. mayor responded to a Jewish mass murder by spreading antisemitic conspiracies, blaming Israel, excusing terror, and issuing a hollow apology—exposing how deeply normalized Jew-hatred has become in progressive politics. The mayor of Richmond, California, Eduardo Martinez, was hammered following the Bondi Beach massacre of 15 people, with calls for his immediate resignation after he posted numerous antisemitic social media rants branding the slaughter as an Israeli “false flag” operation, while blaming Israel for the rise in violence against Jews. Martinez was elected mayor of Richmond in November 2022. He has served on the city council since 2014...

A potential veto of Chicago’s 2026 budget by Mayor Brandon Johnson could trigger the Windy City's first-ever municipal shutdown. Johnson reportedly rebuked the budget passed by council over the weekend, which lacks the mayor’s favored per-employee "head tax" on corporations, as "morally bankrupt." If Johnson were to veto the budget, it would place the onus back on city council to rehash a plan that could get signed before Dec. 30 – or plunge the city into shutdown. City Council lacks any Republican representation – with a Democratic majority of 48 plus two independents, so the situation represents a clash within...

Sir Sadiq Khan has said Donald Trump is "obsessed with me" after the US President launched a fresh attack against him. The Mayor of London said Mr Trump's repeated rants against him were "sticks and stones" and questioned why he didn't have more important things to do. It marks the latest salvo in a long-running feud, which began during Mr Trump's first presidency. In an interview with Politico this week, the US President attacked "weak" European leaders who he said were destroying their nations with immigration and allowing the continent to decay. He singled out Mr Khan - the Capital's...
