Spencer Pratt
Spencer Pratt has run a brilliant campaign trading on Karen Bass's failures as mayor. The message was placed on a typical LA street by power-washing the grime away.
The last person California Democrats expected to keep them up at night is Spencer Pratt. Yet here we are.

The former reality television personality-turned-independent mayoral candidate has spent the past several weeks doing something that Los Angeles's political establishment convinced itself was impossible: making incumbent Mayor Karen Bass look vulnerable.

Conventional wisdom held that a candidate like Pratt, a former television personality with no governing experience, running as an independent in a deep-blue city, had no realistic path to victory. The conventional wisdom was wrong, or at a minimum, it failed to account for how much patience voters had actually lost with the Democratic Party's incompetence.

Comment: Pratt's campaign team deserves every award:





They've been so inspiring, others are making content for him:

Germany: Left Party wants voting rights for all foreigners who have lived in the country for 5 years

There are over 14 million foreigners living in Germany without voting rights, representing a massive pool of potential voters for the left.

Germany's Left Party is pushing for a major overhaul of the German electoral system by proposing that foreign residents without a German passport be granted voting rights after five years of legal residency.

To achieve this, the Left faction in the Bundestag has submitted a formal application demanding that anyone residing legally in the country for at least five years be permitted to vote in federal elections, irrespective of their nationality.

The move would serve as a major electoral boost for left-wing parties, with foreigners overwhelmingly voting for these parties when given the opportunity. Data from the Federal Statistical Office cited in the motion reveals that over 14 million people living in Germany in 2025 lacked German citizenship, a figure that includes roughly 5 million EU citizens. This foreign population has resided in the country for an average of 15 years. In other words, this pool of potential voters for the left is massive.

Should an industry-friendly rider in the farm bill override over 1,000 state laws?

There is an alarming but little-known provision in Congress' 2026 Farm Bill that is likely to find its way into law within the next few weeks.
  • It attempts to remove the right of Americans to maintain local control over our food and farms.
  • It could also nullify over 1,000 state laws that are already on the books.
The Farm Bill, also known as the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, which includes the Save Our Bacon Act as Section 12006, was passed by the House on April 30, 2026 and now heads to the Senate, where the Agriculture Committee is expected to draft its own version of the bill.

Embedded in the legislation is the so-called "Save our Bacon" (SOB) Act, which would strip state and local governments of their ability to make agricultural policies for meat consumed in the state — preventing state and local governments from establishing food production and distribution safeguards.

The fragile balance between compassion and civilization

What is unfolding across parts of Europe, particularly in the UK under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, should serve as a warning to every Western democracy wrestling with questions of immigration, national identity, social cohesion, and the limits of political tolerance.

A nation can be compassionate without becoming careless. It can welcome newcomers while still expecting assimilation, civic responsibility, and respect for the laws and traditions that hold a society together. But when governments become so consumed with appearing morally virtuous that they neglect order, border enforcement, public safety, and cultural confidence, the social fabric eventually begins to fray.

Across Europe, many citizens increasingly feel that they are watching this happen in real time.

Businesses struggle under layers of regulation and insecurity. Historic neighborhoods in cities such as London, Paris, Brussels, and parts of Germany face growing tensions between communities living side by side but not necessarily living together. In too many places, political leaders have become hesitant to speak honestly about integration failures for fear of being labeled intolerant or divisive. Yet avoiding difficult conversations does not eliminate problems; it merely delays them until frustration hardens into anger.

Comment: Witness Russia, a country with probably more ethnic diversity than most nations on Earth. Yet they all feel they are Russians.

The FBI is warning that a new hacking platform is allowing cybercriminals to hijack Microsoft 365 accounts — including Outlook, Teams and OneDrive — while bypassing multi-factor authentication entirely.

The bureau posted a public service announcement last week sounding the alarm about the "Phishing-as-a-Service" toolkit known as Kali365, which is being used to steal Microsoft 365 access tokens and gain entry to victim accounts without intercepting passwords.

The feds say that Kali365 makes it easy for even amateur hackers to run advanced phishing scams that used to require serious technical skills.

"Kali365 lowers the barrier of entry, providing less-technical attackers access to AI-generated phishing lures, automated campaign templates, real-time targeted individual/entity tracking dashboards, and OAuth token capture capabilities," the FBI warned.

Fed up with years of gun violence and repeated shootings near Aurora Avenue, some residents in North Seattle have started installing their own street barricades in an effort to protect their neighborhoods, KOMO News writes.

Neighbors living near North 97th, 98th, and 102nd streets recently placed large planter boxes, piles of dirt, and gravel across parts of residential roads that connect to Aurora Avenue North. The goal, residents say, is to make it harder for shooters to speed through side streets during violent incidents linked to ongoing prostitution and human trafficking activity in the area.

Tensions escalated again over the weekend after another shooting near Aurora Avenue N and N 98th Street. Seattle police said officers found around 40 shell casings at the scene after multiple people exchanged gunfire. Security footage reportedly captured several seconds of rapid shooting, with bullets hitting nearby apartments, homes, and parked cars. In one recent case, a stray bullet entered a family's home and came to rest near the bassinet of a 6-week-old baby.

Perverted "country": Israel's Gush Etzion Council finally admits after years of allegations that there has been ritualistic sexual abuse

© Elhanan Miller/Times of IsraelIn 2016, then Gush Etzion Regional Council head Davidi Perl was kept on as chairman despite allegations of sexual assault and payment of hush money.
In an unprecedented public statement, the Gush Etzion Regional Council acknowledged ritualistic sexual abuse cases in its communities following a bombshell Kan 11 investigation, ending a long period of denial and urging victims to come forward.

In a dramatic reversal that marks a turning point in one of Israel's most disturbing abuse scandals, the Gush Etzion Regional Council has issued an unprecedented public statement acknowledging ritualistic sexual abuse cases within its communities, ending a prolonged period of denial and silence.

The extraordinary statement came in direct response to a bombshell investigative report by journalist Roni Zinger, aired on Kan 11's Zman Emet program. The broadcast presented testimonies from five different women, most of whom did not know each other, who described strikingly similar patterns of multi-perpetrator ritualistic sexual abuse occurring in the same areas of Gush Etzion. The program also featured recordings, filmed confrontations, and testimony from professionals who had accompanied the complainants over the years, building an evidentiary foundation that left little room for doubt.

FBI Arrests CIA Official With $40 Million in Gold Bars, $2 Million In Cash Stashed in His Home

In what may be the most bizarre story of the week, if not all of 2026, the NYTimes reports that a senior CIA official was arrested last week after investigators found hundreds of gold bars worth over $40 million stashed in his Virginia residence, a non-fiat fortune that he apparently brought home from work, according to court papers.

The CIA official, David Rush, is being held in jail while he awaits a detention hearing in the coming days on charges of stealing public money by filling out fraudulent time sheets. But, as the NYT admits, the charging documents filed in Alexandria, Va., still leave a lot unanswered about his recent conduct.

The only formal charge lodged against Rush is that he inflated his academic credentials and obtained military leave pay worth tens of thousands of dollars. The authorities say he falsely claimed to be a member of the Navy Reserve when he was discharged.

A journalist who has reported extensively on late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's notorious New Mexico ranch says she is "fleeing the country," claiming she was the victim of a "direct energy weapons" attack over her coverage.

Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, a former Boston Globe and Los Angeles Times reporter who later became a bestselling novelist, said she abruptly abandoned her New Mexico residence after suffering what she described as symptoms consistent with "Havana syndrome."
"It appears my home has been located by, well, whomever is unhappy about my reporting about Zorro Ranch and the local cover up here and the military intelligence roots of the child sex trafficking operation Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were running here in New Mexico," Valdes-Rodriguez wrote last week on her Substack.

Doing the Math: UC faculty call for the return to standardized testing after shocking decline in skills

Years ago, I wrote a column denouncing the decision of the University of California system to drop standardized testing in the cause of greater racial diversity. Now, hundreds of UC mathematics faculty have called for a return to such testing after reports showing a thirtyfold increase in students with math skills below high school level.

As written earlier, the University of California system was an early supporter of this disastrous move. It was heralded as a way to preserve diversity after voters in California repeatedly rejected race-based admissions and the Supreme Court appeared ready to bar such practices (commonly proven with reference to standardized test differentials among applicants).

Now, many professors in the California system have come to the same conclusion as some of us who denounced the move years ago. They have witnessed the drop in academic skills and abilities among incoming students.

These tests not only have the most significant predictive value for performance but also play an important role in the advancement of minority students. Former University of California President Janet Napolitano, however, overrode those conclusions.
