EXPLOITING HOMELESS: LA's Skid Row is a crime infested human dumping ground. The fraudsters know authorities are too scared to go in and enforce the law. So the bad guys have been using this chaotic scene as cover for years. But we finally exposed them.

This sums up America’s homeless drug crisis.
Why are we leaving people to die on the streets in California in the name of civil liberty? Would you accept this for your mom, dad, brother, sister? So why do we accept this moral failure for someone who doesn’t have the same support system? For years, advocates and higher levels of government told us to invest in call diversion. Last year, we increase 911 call transfers to 988 by 10x to try to connect people with a more appropriate response team. But when Japantown residents called 988 last week to help this poor woman laying in her own excrement in front of a small business, they were told she couldn’t be helped. So we went back to @SanJosePD to secure yet another 5150 hold. This means she was held involuntarily in our County hospital for no more than 72 hours and is now, as with the many times prior, right back on the streets of Japantown, suffering in public, impacting residents and small businesses, and not getting the life-saving intervention she needs and the wider community deserves. Our next Governor must do two things to end this humanitarian crisis: fund in-patient treatment facilities and allow CARE Court to mandate involuntary treatment for longer than a brief visit to the county hospital. The compassion answer is to intervene and require people come indoors. Enough excuses.

These people hate America.
Two Louisiana brothers have been charged in connection with an alleged $1.7 MILLION Hamas fundraising network disguised as humanitarian aid for Gaza. Federal prosecutors say Abdel Adhami, 35, contributed roughly $94,000 and Omar Adhami, 33, contributed about $11,000 to the network. The operation allegedly collected more than $1.7 million since 2020, including at least $626,000 from U.S.-based donors. Prosecutors say the brothers used multiple Snapchat accounts to push propaganda and solicit donations.

Big news! Seattle will be getting it's own Monopoly edition a year from now, woo! You have until the end of this October to submit your nominations for what businesses and places should be included on it: tinyurl.com/4fkyer75 Starting with the most obvious change, there is no need to worry any more about landing on Go To Jail, since jail's not really our thing here in Seattle. Perhaps change it to "Stuck in traffic" for 3 turns and getting the choice of paying over-inflated tab fees to get out? Oh yeah, and no more Free Parking. That's long gone. But what else should we add or change? I'm thinking instead of the Bank, it could be City Hall handing out $200 in grift every time you pass Go. Maybe some new player tokens, like someone bent over in a fenty fold? A tent? An RV? A tech bro on a paddleboard on Green Lake? A crusty old mossbacked hippie? A blue haired, tatted up barista with a nose ring? Land on Chance, and risk your small business getting vandalized by antifa or graffiti taggers? Land on Community Chest, and you might win a free "harm reduction" kit. And what would be Seattle's version of Boardwalk and Park Place, the game's most valuable properties? Because property values are plummeting in Seattle. Office vacancies are at 37%. Buildings are being sold for pennies on the dollar. Perhaps the railroads, since we've sunk something like $158 BILLION and counting so far into our light rail boondoggle. Electric Company is going to have to increase its value, since PSE keeps jacking up our rates. As for the Income Tax, no need to change that, unless we vote YES on I-645. Oh, and no need for Property Cards. Remember, comrade, property ownership is a white supremacist construct!

WA Democrats’ kickback scheme is being exposed.
HUGE EXPOSÉ! Washington state Democrats are handing over $150M+ to local tribes, and millions are being funneled right back into Dem PACs and campaigns. It’s a massive, self-funding machine paid for by taxpayers. The corruption in blue states is completely out of control! 🚨🇺🇸

Holy crap! The feds busted a CCP agent with ties to Seattle. There are CHYNA sleeper cells all across America. The enemy is already here.
We just arrested a Chinese foreign agent at LAX attempting to depart for China. Wanying Zhang, aka “Heather,” 34, of Irvine, was arrested today by @FBILosAngeles on a federal complaint charging her with acting as an unregistered agent of the People’s Republic of China. According to the affidavit, Zhang traveled to Seattle in 2025 and, at the direction of PRC officials, surveilled a close relative of a Taiwanese government official, sending photos, videos, and license plate information to those officials. She coordinated the trip with an associate and used tradecraft to avoid detection. She never notified the Attorney General she was acting for a foreign government, a federal offense. She will appear in federal court in Los Angeles tomorrow for her initial appearance. Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

NEW: The City of Seattle is due for an Americans with Disabilities Act class action lawsuit. The evidence is on virtually every street corner. So why aren’t attorneys rushing to file cases and collect millions of dollars in settlements? I’m waiting for the comments.
My neighbor Dawn uses a wheelchair. She can’t get down her own Seattle sidewalks without being blocked by tents and open drug activity. The ADA says the city has to keep the pedestrian path usable. Forcing a wheelchair user into an open air drug scene is not a policy debate. It’s an access failure. Where are the groups that say they defend that right? @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept @AccessBoard @AAPD @NDRNadvocates @disrightswa @RootedInRights @non_drivers @wacda_law @CityofSeattle @seattledot @MayorofSeattle

We’re so worried about Islamists in Iran getting nuclear weapons. But what about the European countries with nukes being conquered as we speak? 🧐
France has 290 nuclear weapons. UK has 260 nuclear weapons. These two nations are currently being overtaken by Muslims. I'm just over here connecting dots yall.

RAW REALITY: Several days ago, I posted shocking video of a young Asian woman going on a drug fueled bender in Seattle's Chinatown-ID. It drew national attention and triggered thousands of comments from people demanding change. But so far, not peep from socialist Mayor Katie Wilson or other elected officials in this city. That's because this is all happening on their watch and it's easier to ignore the problem. So here is the longer form version of this human tragedy. Send it to your lawmaker and tell them to do something about it before more lives are lost to the streets.
NEW: It looked like a scene out of a horror movie in Seattle's Chinatown-ID. Late Thursday evening, an Asian woman appeared demon possessed. But witnesses says she likely ingested the latest devastating cocktail of fentanyl and other mind altering chemicals. Meanwhile, socialist Mayor Katie Wilson is MIA and has allowed the CID to devolve into the city's human dumping ground and containment zone. As Wilson likes to say, "This is your city."

Why would North Carolina want to alter arrest records of a certain race? 🤔
I have dug through over 7,000+ arrest records in the state of North Carolina over the past 2 weeks. What I found was so shocking, I had a hard time believing it myself... It appears major fraud is taking place in arrest records where Black offenders are labelled White. I didn't come across this once or twice. It appears that a few HUNDRED Black offenders are being labelled as White. The option to pick "BLACK" exists and is used frequently in arrest records... ...but it seems they are purposely choosing the label of "WHITE AFRICAN" or "WHITE CAUCASIAN" to identify someone who is clearly a "BLACK" person. This is massive fraud.
