If you have been following the race for mayor of Los Angeles, you have probably noticed that Spencer Pratt’s lead is slowly being eroded and Nithya Raman, the far left Democratic Socialist (communist) candidate keeps gaining.
The explanation for this is very simple. It’s fraud. Raman is benefiting from the state’s system of mail-in ballots, which SOMEHOW always benefits the left. Isn’t it fascinating how ballots that are tabulated after the election always benefit just one side?
NBC News recently admitted this on the air, without a hint of irony.
A growing consortium of University of California (U.C.) educators is imploring the state system to consider basic testing standards for STEM applicants. As of Thursday, more than 1,400 U.C. faculty members have signed onto a letter calling for the reinstatement of the SAT/ACT mathematics requirement for STEM majors, citing a dramatic drop in math proficiency.
The letter, written by four U.C. Berkeley math professors and a law professor, claims that U.C. STEM professors now "observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle-school mathematics while simultaneously teaching the material students need for sciences, engineering, economics, and other quantitatively demanding fields."
There are times you are compelled to ponder whether President Trump’s statements are sincere beliefs or disingenuous, politically advantageous remarks. His recent assessment and redefinition of “regime change” in Iran is one such time.
As The Daily Signal reported, due to the U.S. military’s stellar performance against our enemy, “Trump said he had achieved a sort of double regime change in Iran.” Indeed, he asserts it may well have been three:
“It really is regime change,” he said. “You know, we didn’t set out for regime change, but the fact that we’re dealing with a totally different group of people than we were at the beginning,
Donald Trump is not known for hewing to convention, but this week he seemed to rerun a standard Beltway drama. During a phone call on Monday, the president called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "crazy" and pressured him to rein in the Israeli offensive in Lebanon. Two days later, the State Department announced it had brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. The seeming crackup in the Bibi-Trump bromance thrilled Israel’s critics and perturbed the Jewish state’s supporters. Some hope the close working relationship between Trump and Netanyahu is drawing to a close, others fear the entire bond between Washington and Jerusalem to be severed.
As the peace negotiations in the Middle East are ongoing, the world’s attention is already turning to the next mission by Donald J. Trump’s administration: the island-nation of Cuba.
Yesterday (4), the US imposed heavy sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, his wife, and three other individuals.
It’s the latest escalation against Havana’s Communist leadership, freezing individuals’ property and bank accounts in the US. According to a statement signed by the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, those ‘designated today (Thursday) direct or fund the regime and its efforts to mobilize its radical revolutionary movements in the United States and around the world
The story on Graham Platner that the New York Times dropped on Thursday painted the picture of a deeply sociopathic, controlling, and abusive man who shouldn't be elected dog catcher, much less to the United States Senate. As RedState reported, the Times recounted the stories of three women who had been in relationships with the Bernie Sanders-backed Senate candidate from Maine prior to his marriage in late 2023. The most compelling was told by Lyndsey Fifield, a Virginia woman who the Times wrote "has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns."
Today, 96% of Pakistan's population follows Islam, with most of that percentage adhering to the Sunni tradition. According to Pakistan's constitution, the right to free speech can be restricted to ensure “the glory of Islam."However, Pakistan was once majority-Hindu. It was part of the Indian civilization with significant religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity.
This is no longer the case. Native Hindu and other non-Muslim cultures were systematically and largely erased by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Moreover, attempts at reviving the Hindu and other pre-Islamic names of geographical locations are met with backlash from Muslims in the country.
In the midst of ongoing diplomatic efforts and an ostensible truce, Iran launched missile and drone strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain — countries not even remotely involved in its conflict with Israel and the US — and then revealed that it signed a $25 billion nuclear deal with Russia.
Striking them deliberately during a ceasefire appears just part of Iran's blackmail plan to have its neighbors press US President Trump to permanently end military action against Iran, so that Iran will not attack their oilfields.
The New Bolsheviks
replies
This past primary election saw a continued and deepening rift between Republicans and Democrats, those who believe in America and those who ardently do not.
The campaigns are no longer about methods for achieving the same goals. The goals are vastly different. There is nothing they agree on. The Democrat Party has no policies they want to bring forward lest they show their hand, losing every election for the foreseeable future. Their candidates, increasingly, are looking more like street thug Bolsheviks than educated loyal Americans. They're communists and don't hide it.
At the present there are 31 Democrats running for either a House seat or a Senate seat in November.

Lose Hundreds From Monthly Checks By 2032,
Report Says replies
Millions of Americans who rely on Social Security could see their monthly benefit checks reduced by an average of around $500 if lawmakers don’t address a looming crisis, according to an analysis.
Social Security’s retirement trust fund is projected to become insolvent in 2032, an August 2025 letter from the Social Secutiy Administration’s (SSA) Office of the Chief Actuary read. At that point, the rules of the Social Security Act would make the agency unable to pay full scheduled benefits and require an across-the-board 24% reduction, according to a Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget analysis released Wednesday. The average beneficiary nationwide would lose approximately $500 per month, with retirees
The Chicago Bears announced Friday that they are moving forward with a plan to build a new stadium in Hammond, Indiana, which would move the sports team out of Illinois.
The announcement comes after the Bears' board of directors voted Thursday to advance their stadium development plans in Hammond, although the exact site of the domed stadium is still to be determined, according to ESPN.
"We believe a world-class stadium project in Hammond will transform the region, connecting Northwest Indiana and
The authority for the United States government to capture the electronic records of all Americans without warrant falls under the auspices of FISA-702. Reauthorization of the current authority is being debated. This is a deep walk into why this issue is so important to our government.Having researched almost every aspect to the construct and the argument, I am confident FISA-702 authority underpins a much bigger, quasi-constitutional justification for the collection of U.S. citizen metadata. Without the 702 authority the legal justification for the apparatus of surveillance no longer exists. It really is that simple.

BAR HARBOR, Maine — Rep. Ro Khanna of California on Friday said that Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner should apologize to the women who recently came forward describing disturbing behavior they experienced with him.
NBC News IconIn a brief interview with NBC News, Khanna — here to rally on behalf of Platner and other Democratic candidates before Tuesday’s primary — said that he rejected the behavior Platner allegedly displayed against three women who described their past relationships with Platner to The New York Times.
Democrats have apparently decided that tonight is a good night for riots in Newark.
That's the only conclusion one can reach after Newark Mayor Ras Baraka announced that Newark police would no longer be providing security for the Delaney Hall ICE facility, saying it was not their responsibility to maintain order on city property outside the facility. He believes that private security should do the job.
I'm not kidding. That is what he said.
Baraka said that as increased tensions led to "unnecessary confrontation" with state troopers, the city stepped in and successfully brought calm “without the use of force, tear gas or aggressive policing."
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., has confirmed longheld Republican suspicions: Protests are bought and paid for by big donor Democrats.
Murphy admits he has been pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars of his donor money to fund left-wing street protest organizations.
Now, he’s telling radicals that the 2028 presidential election might not even take place.
The Connecticut Democrat made the alarming claim at a May 26 book tour event during a Q&A with former NBC journalist Katie Couric to help sell his new book, “Crisis of the Common Good.”
When Couric asked Murphy about his national ambitions, he answered by suggesting the country might not make it to the next election.
Last week the LA and California primaries were stolen by the left wing regime in power. This video explains, chapter and verse, how they do it. It is, as we all know now, done by NGOs, who use our tax money to steal our will. I include billionaire donations to NGOs in this, otherwise that money would have been paid in taxes. They work after the election to cure the vote. It is, as Omega4America describes, an industrial scale operation.
The Mask Of The Savior
replies
Che Guevara (1928–67) occupies a special place in the pantheon of modern icons. Nobody quite embodies the chasm between romantic myth and historical reality as he does. His image—etched in Alberto Korda’s Guerrillero Heroico, with its windswept hair and resolute gaze—adorns T-shirts across Western campuses, universities, and protest marches. To rebellious but historically ignorant teenagers and activists, he represents the archetypal “freedom fighter”: a selfless doctor who abandoned privilege to champion the oppressed against imperialism. This perspective, steeped in adolescent idealism, casts Guevara as a symbol of anti-establishment defiance and social justice.
Yet this entire cult is a symptom of a broader anti-Western ideology that has metastasized
Probably the strangest paragraph in the New York Times ‘sneak preview’ write-up of the Obama Library that some people are calling the Obamalisk because of its general ugliness and ominous blot on the Chicago skyline. More creative folks have compared it to a “Klingon prison”, a “Stalinist vertical gulag” and the Dorian Grey picture of the state of Obama’s soul. And things aren’t that much more cheerful on the inside.
So many people who have visited the Obama museum in its “soft launch” have cried that the staff has left out boxes of tissues. “Lots of tears,” said Valerie Jarrett, the chief executive officer of the Obama Foundation. “Lots of tears.”
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network issued an advisory on June 5, 2026, calling on financial institutions to identify and report suspicious activity tied to the unlawful employment of illegal aliens.
The advisory, released jointly with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the National Credit Union Administration, and coordinated with the Internal Revenue Service, urges banks and other regulated entities to remain alert to payroll fraud and identity theft schemes that channel unlawful wages through the U.S. financial system, according to a statement released by the Treasury.

The federal government's Medicaid program is paying Native American shamans in California $826 a day to perform ancient rituals such as drum circles and spiritual dances to treat drug and alcohol addicts. The alternative treatments are part of Democratic governor Gavin Newsom's embrace of "indigenous knowledge," a pseudoscience that claims Native Americans have mystical healing powers that transcend the realm of traditional medicine.
The Biden Department of Health & Human Services gave its approval in October 2024 for California to reimburse Native American "Traditional Healers" with federal Medicaid dollars to treat addicts by drawing on their innate knowledge of ancestral healing rites.
It amazes me how easily we are gaslit about voter fraud. Or should I say, how easily Democrats are gaslit about voter fraud, since by now most Republicans are cynical enough to expect it.
I was struck on Tuesday night by how many Republicans confidently predicted that Spencer Pratt's seemingly insurmountable lead over Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayor's primary would evaporate as the votes were dumped in batches over the ensuing weeks, and their cynicism, it seems, will be rewarded.
California doesn't have election days. It has election weeks that begin well before election day and extend well after election night. It will turn out, remarkably, that
On the whole, it’s been a good week. It’s not every week that serves up the kind of supreme schadenfreudey goodness that comes from the firing of the pompous CBS News blowhard Scott Pelley, with more to follow. Less noticed was that NPR laid off most of its climate change reporters this week, too. If NPR is giving up on the climate crusade, it is well and truly over. The strong showing of Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt (fingers crossed about those “late” votes) is also cheering, though it will still be an uphill fight to November. England continues to spiral down the drain, but after their George Floyd-in-reverse moment,
With President Donald Trump’s approval rating underwater by over seventeen points and the GOP facing criticism over inflation and the Iran war in a critical midterm election, we would expect swing voters to be flocking to Democrats. Despite inflation and the Iran war creating strong headwinds for Republicans leading into November, Latino voters are fleeing from the Democratic Party, showing a twenty-point collapse since 2022 and a thirty-point collapse since 2018.
In 2022, Democrat Congressional candidates won Hispanics 60 percent to 39 percent according to NBC News exit polls. In 2018, Democrats won a full 69 percent of Latinos and Republicans won 29 percent according to CNN exit polls.
The woke mind virus infection began spreading sometime in the early 2000s, but didn't reach pandemic levels until the late Obama years. It was, metaphorically, engineered in American and European university labs to infect ordinary people through diffusion in schools and universities, and became pandemic in the Summer of Floyd, alongside the similarly engineered COVID virus.
The mind virus was intentionally spread, while COVID was almost certainly a lab leak, but both are equally artificial, and both have caused incalculable damage to the economies, social trust, and people. And they will remain endemic well into the future.
