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...

Following her historic win in Tuesday night's Miami mayoral runoff election, Eileen Higgins outlined her agenda. “It feels heavy," Higgins said. "I know that people are expecting a lot from the City of Miami... On the issue of immigration, the city has previously signed the controversial 287g agreement with immigration officials Higgins gave her thoughts on that agreement. “The city should never entered into that agreement,” she said. “There is no reason in the city of Miami that...

Miami’s mayoral election has been framed as a political earthquake, but those sweeping claims don’t hold water. They do, however, evince the ignorance of all too many, across party lines, about the actual power structure in the city, Miami-Dade County, and Florida. What happened in the mayoral runoff deserves attention, but it is hardly the warning siren some Democrat operatives want it to be, nor is it a reason for Republicans to panic. Miami politics simply don’t function the way national narratives assume. Let’s start with what this race actually was. The “nonpartisan” mayor of Miami holds a largely ceremonial...

Democrat Eileen Higgins has flipped the Miami mayor’s office, defeating Republican Emilio Gonzalez and marking the latest sign of the party’s momentum heading into next year’s midterms, according to Decision Desk HQ. Higgins is the first Democrat to become mayor of Miami since 1997. She bested Gonzalez, a former Miami city manager who served on President Trump’s Homeland Security Department transition team, to succeed incumbent Mayor Francis Suarez (R). The race is technically nonpartisan.

It is always amazing that, in a place where liberal Democrats have reigned supreme for decades, and say they want a change, their answer always seems to be, "If we just elect some new Democrats..." Since he came on the scene during the summer, the entire nation has been able to see what's coming once Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani gets sworn into office. He is an unapologetic socialist and will implement ridiculous and useless socialist ideas in the Big Apple. When it comes to the city's homeless population, even Democrat Mayor Eric Adams knew there had to be some restrictions. But...

Washington, DC, Council member Janeese Lewis George, a Democratic Socialist, launched her campaign for mayor of the nation’s capital on Monday – and she’s reportedly seeking to emulate Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral bid. Lewis George, 37, is seeking to replace DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, who announced last week that she would not seek re-election to a fourth term. “Rent’s rising in homes people can’t afford. Folks are working hard and still feeling the squeeze, while the few in power rake in profits,” Lewis George said in a video announcing her run for mayor, echoing the rhetoric that propelled...

Muriel Bowser has served as the mayor of Washington, D.C. for the past decade. She first assumed office in January 2015 and won reelection for a second and third term in 2018 and 2022, respectively. On Tuesday, Bowser announced that she will not be seeking a fourth term, sharing a video of the announcement on her X account. It has been the honor of my life to be your Mayor. Together, we have built a legacy of success of which I am intensely proud.With a grateful heart, I am announcing that I will not seek a fourth term.For the next...

DEMOCRAT & CONVICTED CHILD MOLESTER RUNNING FOR MAYOR IN RI Michael English, a Democrat and a CONVICTED child molester, is currently running for mayor in Providence, Rhode Island.

He then spent an additional 19 months in prison in 2009 after violating a no-contact order with the victim. English does not appear on the RI sex offender registry due to his registry expiring after only 10 years.

A New Jersey police sergeant and former Democratic mayor is facing multiple charges after he allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted a child he met online, according to the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office. Jersey City police Sgt. Andrew LaBruno, 44, was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said in a statement. The alleged assault occurred earlier that day at a home in Englewood, New Jersey, authorities said. Investigators allege LaBruno contacted a juvenile on a social media app, arranged a meeting and went to the...

Who would have thunk it? We now have two democratic socialists who have won their mayoral races in major American cities – Zohran Mamdani in New York City, of course, and inexperienced Katie Wilson in Seattle. Both cities have already suffered greatly at the hands of “progressive” politicians, and the only question here is how much lower they can sink. Could Los Angeles be the next to throw their city into the hands of radical leftists? You could argue that they already have with Mayor Karen Bass and their radical city council and county Board of Supervisors, but what if...
