I’ll simplify the statement for everyone:
@NYCMayor: “it’s the Jews fault they got butchered on October 7th.”
Hey Zohran, your Mr. Nice Guy bullshit isn’t fooling anyone anymore. We all know you are a rabid antisemite.
This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.

Today is October 7th.
A few years ago a group of barbaric lunatics went to a concert full of hippies and slaughtered them.
They filmed it with glee.
They murdered with a psychotic euphoria visible in the videos they proudly filmed.
Sadistic, irredeemable savages; whose leaders immediately said they would do it again, and again.
The goal is a total elimination of all Jewish people.
Not just Israelis, but all Jews, even the ones wearing a Keffiyeh and attending rallies.
Your neighbor in LA- they want to slit their children’s throats and make the parents watch before torturing and killing them too.
Your friend in NYC attending synagogue- they want to bomb the building and kill everyone inside.
It’s only been three years, but many of our youth don’t even know what occurred that day.
They don’t understand the depravity of the enemy we all face.
Their fight isn’t against colonialism and Zionism- the stated goal from these radical terrorists groups is the death of every Jewish person on the planet.
And it doesn’t stop with the Jews…

Mark Zandi is correct: to help 'unlock' home sales, LOWER the capital gains tax rate on housing. I know people who want to sell, but don't want a giant tax bill so they're sitting on homes that are too big for empty nesters.
This would take some support from governments so it prob wont happen but ... its an idea.
Thoughts?

He basically said “The Jews that died, sad, but it’s their fault.”
He needs the city’s antisemitism policy for himself.
Just an atrocious statement

NEW: OC DA @toddspitzeroc just threw the book at the woman arrested for purposely fatally crushing a puppy with her vehicle in Santa Ana, CA. 75-year-old Hahn Nguyen has now been charged w/ felony animal cruelty and felony animal abuse w/ a felony enhancement for personal use of a weapon.
DA Spitzer is charging these "wobbler" offenses as felonies instead of misdemeanors and the felony enhancement will add potential prison time.
OC DA statement to @FoxNews:
“This act of violence not only ended the life of an innocent puppy, but it also inflicted trauma on every single person who came across the video footage of the murder of an animal,” said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer. “Violence is not a singular act. It inflicts pain and suffering on those who are subjected to it and on those who witness it. As the elected District Attorney of Orange County, I refuse to accept a society in which violence of any kind is acceptable. Let me be clear that those who engage in violence in Orange County, whether it is against human beings or animals, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.”

Yeah.. maybe we don’t ask tax payers to pick up the tab for self promotion
GOP Sen. John Kennedy says no public official, including President Trump, “should spend public money on private ads for themselves,” after the White House aired a government-funded ad prominently featuring the president.
“You can’t spend public money to promote yourself,” Kennedy (R-LA) says, adding, “I also think that we ought to have a rule that no politician can have a building named after him while he’s alive.”

Amazing how much more attention the anti-Israel and Netanyahu protests got than the anti-IRGC and Iranian protests got at the UN. For those keeping track of the numbers, the Iranians have killed far more Muslims than even the most outlandish accusations against Israel say.

Weinstein hired Black Cube (ex Mossad) to surveil journalists. I was one of them. Are we surprised to learn he offered a podcaster $1.75 million to ‘contaminate the jury pool,’ and smear his victims?
Good riddance.

I have definitely heard stories of male members of both houses being total nightmares but apparently no reporter has. Because somehow we get these stories about women leaders exclusively
just a classic comment section story:
Anger, confusion, dismay
the self selecting people on this site don’t want anything negative about their preferred side!

People keep asking me to push for one Mayoral candidate or the other. Trying to decide the best move. Guys...it's over. LA had its chance for a candidate of change back in June, and instead...they voted for continued destruction. Both candidates will make LA worse.
I feel like Hank in that late episode of Breaking Bad...he's already shot to hell, Walt is desperately bargaining with the Nazis to spare his life in exchange for all the money he has. He begs Hank to tell them to take the deal. Hank just looks at him and says "you're the smartest guy I ever met. And you're too stupid to see...he made up his mind 10 minutes ago."
I hate to break it to you, but the fate of LA is already baked into the cake 3 months ago. There's no more wheeling and dealing, no clever ballot trick, no October surprise that's gonna get you out of it. Your chance was in June, and a lot of you just stayed home. Or voted for Alan Miller. I told you to get ten of your friends to vote, and you didn't do it.
Elections have consequences, so I hope you all now appreciate that, and operate with a greater sense of urgency with these things. Vote for governor, you still have a shot. Vote for voter ID. Vote down all the new taxes. But for Mayor, it's too late.

Unless the mother strangled them to death with an exercise band, it's typically considered poor form, in the wake of their child's death...to criticize their grieving parents.

The members receiving the most AI money are also the most vocal calling for a slow down and govt regulation. One of the loudest mouths received by far the most $$$:
Ro Khanna (D-CA-17)
Sam T. Liccardo (D-CA-16)
Maria Cantwell (D-WA)
Adam Smith (D-WA-9)
Zoe Lofgren (D-CA-18)
Elissa Slotkin (D-MI)
Ruben Gallego (D-AZ)
Jacky Rosen (D-NV)
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14)
Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)
Mike Rounds (R-SD)
Adam B. Schiff (D-CA)
Brett Guthrie (R-KY-2)
Jon Ossoff (D-GA)
Josh Harder (D-CA-9)
Martin Heinrich (D-NM)
Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-12)
Patrick Ryan (D-NY-18)
Mark R. Warner (D-VA)
Suzan K. DelBene (D-WA-1)
Ted Lieu (D-CA-36)
Many of the most vocal politicians now calling for government regulation of AI companies are also among those receiving the most money from the AI companies themselves.
What an intriguing coincidence.

Los Angeles is the land of anarcho-tyranny.
Want to open a normal bar, restaurant, or store? You’ll need to build out and lease a whole commercial space and wait years for a liquor license, paying taxes and complying with thousands of health and labor regulations. Full time security to keep our “unhoused neighbors” — most of whom aren’t even from here — from trashing the place because LAPD won’t do anything.
Want to sling food and liquor on the street for cash? You’re a protected class, set up anywhere you please, no taxes no problem, and dump your waste on the sidewalk.
Want to build housing? Years of permitting and getting shaken down by every city department for parks fees, affordable housing fees, you name it. You finally get your home built but you wait months just for LADWP to actually turn on the lights and let you get your certificate of occupancy, just because. But if a squatter comes and occupies your home and presents a fake lease, the police won’t do anything about it, because that’s a “civil” matter. The homeless can party in and burn down your property and there’s nothing you can do about it. You try to sell and get out of this mess, you pay a 5%+ transfer tax to fund eviction defense for deadbeats and “professional” tenants.
Either way, you lose.
Leaving the Hollywood bowl, a guy set up a full bar on Highland. Seeing what we put legitimate businesses through trying to get a liquor license, it blows my mind that there’s no enforcement against this.

NEW: A homeless dog that was found wandering the streets of Deming, NM, then rescued from a high-kill shelter after she was put on a euthanasia list has a new lease on life after she graduated from the U.S. Border Patrol's Canine Academy in El Paso, TX. "Chloe" is now serving as a Border Patrol K-9 based out of Louisiana and also works as a Critical Incident Response Canine for CBP after completing a five-week training course. She also provides emotional support at local hospitals.
CBP statement:
“Chloe’s journey is a powerful reminder that with patience, purpose and a second chance, extraordinary things are possible,” said Miguel Carrillo, U.S. Border Patrol agent, and Chloe’s handler. “She is serving those who serve our nation, and her work is already making a meaningful difference.”

“Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome.” — Charlie Munger
One chart explains America's homelessness crisis.
Our new report analyzed 1,458 HUD-funded homeless NGOs, 2013 to 2024:
• Revenue: UP 124%
• Compensation: UP 118%
• Federal CoC funding: UP 67% in just 6 years
Inflation over the same stretch: 34.7%.
And homelessness itself: UP 31%, to the highest count ever recorded.
Every line went up. The paychecks grew. The federal checks grew. And the problem grew right along with them.
That's a system paid to EXIST, not to succeed.
