The Los Angeles Mayoral election is becoming increasingly questionable after a damning ballot drop gave Democratic City Councilwoman Nithya Raman a substantial gain, and Los Angeles is expected to continue counting ballots through the weekend. The nearly 60,000 late mail-in ballots counted on Friday evening gave Raman over 23,000 new votes, while Pratt gained roughly 11,000. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has already been projected to advance to the November runoff. The top two candidates will advance if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, First Assistant US Attorney for the Central...

Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) were ordered to shelter in an attached spacecraft after the structure suddenly started leaking more air. Five of the seven crew were directed to go into the docked SpaceX shuttle Dragon "Freedom" on Friday afternoon and were braced for a potential evacuation. Meanwhile, two remaining personnel - a pair of Russian cosmonauts - attempted to repair a part of the Russian segment of the ISS, where the leaks had started increasing on Monday. The repairs were paused and the crew ordered back onto the ISS by Nasa on Friday afternoon.

Trump beat Hillary Clinton in Ohio by more than eight points in 2016, defeated Joe Biden in the state by a similar margin in 2020 despite losing nationally, and expanded his advantage to more than 11 points over Kamala Harris in 2024. Husted, who was appointed to the Senate in 2025 after Vice President JD Vance vacated the seat, is...

America Spent $12.5 Billion Fighting the Emerald Ash Borer. The Woodpeckers Did It For Free In 2002, a beetle from eastern China arrived in a Detroit shipping crate and went on to kill more than 100 million American ash trees. The federal response cost $12.5 billion. It did not stop the beetle. What did stop it was already in the woods. Four native bird species — and one parasitic wasp the size of a sewing needle — quietly built a predation pyramid that no quarantine, no insecticide injection, and no government program had ever designed. This documentary follows the decade...

Spencer Pratt.The machine asked if I had changed my mind, and I selected—No.Then guess what?It didn’t even bother asking me about the other candidates or ballot measures.

THE Q STORM@e3z9b_qI1ytkwI used to believe that Donald Trump was simply an exceptional president.But then, I watched in real time as the Mainstream Media (mainstream media), the FBI, intelligence agencies, the CIA, Big Tech, and the entire Washington establishment joined forces in an unprecedented campaign to destroy a single man.The numerous lawsuits, the two impeachments, the endless hoaxes including the Russia one, the Mar-a-Lago raid, the gag orders, the efforts to remove him from the ballot, the attempts to bankrupt him and throw him in prison... all of that was aimed at preventing him from returning to power. Two attempts...

It took only a half an hour for the mother of a suspected shooter in Florida to track down her 16-year-old son and force him to surrender after a violent 'teen takeover' left another teen with three gunshot wounds. After hundreds of teenagers flooded Clearwater Beach on Sunday evening for a 'linkup,' Noel Marsh III, 16, was taken into custody in Haines City on Monday evening. 'We found his mother, and his mother did what was right,' Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. 'She said, "he'll turn himself in as soon as I find him." About 30 minutes later, his...

There is something seriously wrong with a government, and its people, when they cannot count votes in what one would expect to be a reasonable time frame. What's a reasonable time frame? France, as an example, can say who won a presidential election by early morning of the next day, at the latest. In CA, as of right now, only about 58% of some estimated 8 million plus votes have been counted. And the LA primary for mayor? Still counting. I'll assume that this counting is not even by hand (as in France, I believe) but by "sophisticated" machines, and...
