Does Spencer Pratt, the conservative Los Angeles mayoral candidate whose home burned up in the Palisades fire, ever get a break over his housing arrangements? They're still picking on him over his desperate post-fire living arrangements, this time with TMZ attacking Pratt's decision to put his family in a nice hotel for a few days. Hypocrite, you see, he's supposed to be living in a silverstream trailer on the rubble of his burned home as if an arrangement like that would even be safe for a family with two small children. First, the Los Angeles Times went after him for...

He was a BLM activist and a Marxist—then he accidentally debunked his own life.

Far-left Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman wildly accused opponent Spencer Pratt of pushing “fascism” as the former reality TV star gains ground in the race. The socialist-linked Raman appeared on a podcast with progressive host Brian Tyler Cohen and compared Pratt to President Donald Trump while offering her take on who the independent candidate “really represents.” “I think that Spencer Pratt is tapping into a lot of the frustrations that people have in Los Angeles by the way that things are going, and his Trumpian qualities is exactly why I think Angelenos should be taking this race seriously, but...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has withdrawn from a televised L.A. mayoral candidate forum scheduled for May 13, according to a statement released Friday by the League of Women Voters of Greater Los Angeles and the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs. https://ktla.com/news/local-new s/karen-bass-cancels-appearance-at-televised-l-a-mayoral-forum/

A Los Angeles mayoral debate has collapsed at the last minute after Nithya Raman joined Karen Bass and Spencer Pratt in pulling out. Raman revealed early Monday she was not going, following Bass pulling out last week and Pratt earlier saying he had a scheduling conflict. It left just businessman Adam Miller and activist Rae Huang. A spokesman for the Pat Brown Institute and the League of Women Voters said: “With only two candidates remaining, the event partners have agreed not to proceed.” Raman’s campaign told The Post: “We’re disappointed that Mayor Bass cancelled her participation in the debate. We...

LOS ANGELES, CA — Democrats have unleashed vicious attack ads accusing L.A. mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt of not wanting to destroy the state of California. The new series of ads features devastating videos of Pratt saying things like "I don't think California should be reduced into a pile of rubble." "Spencer Pratt wants to keep Los Angeles from burning to ash," says the narrator for the ad. "He wants to put violent criminals in jail, stop giving free money to drug addicts, and let firefighters use water to put out fires. Let's keep California crumbling. Let's keep away from Spencer...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is being blasted for backing out of an upcoming mayoral forum just days after she took a beating in a LA mayoral debate, with Spencer Pratt being declared the winner, per an online poll. “The League of Women Voters and the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs regret to announce that Mayor Karen Bass has withdrawn from the televised Los Angeles mayoral forum scheduled for May 13 on FOX 11,” a statement posted on Instagram from organizers read. “The forum was organized to give Los Angeles voters the opportunity to hear directly from candidates seeking...

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt and his campaign have put out some brilliant ads as he competes against the failed Democrat incumbent Karen Bass and the far-left democrat socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman (and a host of also-rans), with some saying they are among the best commercials they’ve ever seen.There’s a new spot that debuted Sunday which shows the former reality star, whose house burned to the ground down in the disastrous Pacific Palisades fire in January 2025, that shows he’s got practical ideas to fix the failing city, he understands the pain of regular Angelenos who have seen...

Hollywood-style hit job just changed campaign ads forever— and it’s breaking the Internet by DBS Wire Share Tweet A viral, AI-generated campaign-style video featuring reality TV personality Spencer Pratt is blowing up online — and it’s not your typical political ad. The spot leans hard into Hollywood spectacle, casting Pratt as a caped crusader of sorts — yes, think Batman, but make it “Prattman.”The target is unmistakable: California’s political establishment, portrayed as exactly what critics on the right have been saying for years — insulated, self-satisfied elites who wouldn’t recognize real-world problems if they tripped over them on Rodeo Drive.

I admit, I didn’t know a lot about Los Angeles Republican mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt. I have never seen the MTV show that made him famous, The Hills, and frankly, I assumed that a reality star was not a serious candidate to be the chief executive of the second most populous city in the nation. I fully remember, however, a grade teacher exhorting me back in the day, “Do not assume.” You make an “ass” out of “u” and “me.” I wholeheartedly admit that my bias was misplaced, because as I’ve now seen in numerous bombshell ads and interviews, Pratt...

This is absolutely mind blowing! When Karin Bass was in Ghana as Los Angeles burned, the deputy mayor she left in charge was at home on house arrest. For phoning in a bomb threat. We are indeed governed by criminals. From @spencerpratt on @joerogan

The deranged firebug accused of igniting the devastating Palisades Fire had become “fixated” with Luigi Mangione in the lead up to the deadly blaze — and then allegedly suggested the inferno was started out of “resentment of the rich,” prosecutors said. Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, was obsessed with the accused healthcare CEO killer and had routinely searched “free Luigi Mangione” and “lets take down all the billionaires” online, court documents show. In the weeks and hours before allegedly sparking the blaze that triggered the catastrophic Palisades fire, Rinderknecht — who worked as an Uber driver — ranted to customers about Mangione’s...

Yesterday, we told you that the FireAid scandal hit President Trump's radar. As it should: tens of millions of dollars raised with the explicit promise that those monies would go directly to victims of the L.A. wildfires. Instead, the money went to Leftist nonprofit organizations, and not a dime went to people who lost everything.

Los Angeles was devastated by wildfires back in January, and the area is still feeling the impacts of the disaster. So when $100 million was raised by two FireAid concerts at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, featuring acts such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Billie Elish, and Jelly Roll, you'd have thought the money would make its way to fire victims. Well, it's not that simple. Sue Pascoe, editor-in-chief at Circling The News, has the story of how this money ended up not going to fire victims, but instead making its way to...

A Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) source told Breitbart News on Tuesday that there were not enough officers available to direct traffic and assist the evacuation from the Palisades Fire because they were guarding President Joe Biden. Biden was in Los Angeles from January 6 through 8, largely for family reasons, as his first great-grandchild was born. But because LAPD officers had been detailed to help protect him and his family, officers struggled to reach the Pacific Palisades as the Palisades Fire began to burn, and frightened residents became stuck in a traffic on Sunset Boulevard. “We tried to get...

California’s eco-bureaucrats halted a wildfire prevention project near the Pacific Palisades to protect an endangered shrub. It’s just the latest clash between fire safety and conservation in California that is coming under scrutiny following the devastating outbreak of the Palisades Fire — the most devastating blaze in Los Angeles history, which has consumed the very same area. In 2019, the LA Department of Water and Power (LADWP) began replacing nearly 100-year-old power line poles cutting through Topanga State Park, when the project was halted within days by conservationists outraged that federally endangered Braunton’s milkvetch plants had been trampled during the...

Not quite six years ago, wildfire expert Jack Cohen, who lives in Missoula, Mont., visited Pacific Palisades to instruct firefighters and property owners on how to protect homes against wildfires. Three days of training, including a tour of the community, left Cohen hopeful, but the feeling faded when it became clear that his lessons were not going to be fully implemented. This week’s tragedy has left him with a deep sadness. Respected by fire agencies across the country, Cohen and Pyne have found their straight-talk admonitions often disregarded or dismissed. Sensitive to losses and suffering, both said they are motivated...
