Abdul El-Sayed accuses Muslims working in gas stations of hating blacks and cat calling women. He sounds Islamaphobic. 🙃
Abdul El-Sayed to black voters: I am not like your "gas station Abdul" who hates blacks, catcalls women This reeks of desperation

Oregon Journalism Project got played. But even more troubling, the official campaign of a Somali political candidate sent fake photos to spin the narrative. And it temporarily worked!
Many journalists in Oregon are deeply sick, unethical people. I saw it myself living there. They frame victims as villains in their propaganda. This fake news organization is so ideologically captured that it immediately believed the lies of an unnamed Somali scammer (who is still being protected) rather than those involved in independent citizen journalism.

🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance announces Shawty Dred has been connected to SNAP FRAUD to the tune of millions of dollars IMAGINE THAT. "This is a man that we have connected to $4.4 million in fraud against the SNAP program. A guy who is quite literally taking food from the mouths of children so that he can enrich himself." "The best part about Shawty Dred is that my amazing staff worried that I would be unable to pronounce Shawty Dred included a handy dandy phonetic spelling of Shawty Dred. But no, guys, I got it." 😭 He's one of 40+ people Vance's task force is going after today, in a $40 MILLION food stamp scheme That brings the SNAP fraud the task force says it has uncovered to $641 MILLION

Socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson should follow San Francisco’s lead on homelessness.
Mayor Katie Wilson in Seattle talks about changing the status quo while doing the exact same thing on homelessness which is low barrier shelter and housing where drug use is allowed. 🤦‍♂️ @DiscoveryCWP

This is why you should vote *YES* on I-638 in WA.

Seattle Parks have been conquered by drug addicts.
More unattended lethal drugs in our residential parks today. Nobody else is picking this stuff up, so We Heart Seattle is. Private donations keep this work going enables documenting the harm on the ground and pushing lawmakers for stronger penalties on narcotics in parks.

Why is the Pacific Northwest so dark and demonic?
According to my sourcing, federal investigators are seeking to confirm whether the 16-year-old Bend, Ore. school sh—ter (Griffin John), who killed four women and children, was radicalized by the 764 terror cult. This is a leading suspicion. If this is confirmed, it would be the second Oregon school attack this year by a youth believed to be radicalized by the satanic terror cult. The 764 network is known for grooming teens to produce s—xual abuse content, carry out animal-killing blood rituals, and mass m—rder s—icides. In August, a trans leader in the cult was sentenced to decades in prison for grooming underage girls to partake in abuse. See my report about the cult: ngocomment.com/p/trans-leade…

Downtown Seattle Association CEO Jon Scholes: “So this idea that we have a lot of service resistant people in our city I just think is a myth and is not a thing.” Scholes is out of touch with reality. Guy needs to leave his C-Suite once in a while.
H/T: Seattle has a new plan to end homelessness! Downtown Seattle Association hired Community Solutions a 501(c)(3) with $183M in assets that got a $100M MacArthur grant in 2021 to tell Seattle’s Homeless Industrial Complex it needs to coordinate better and put people on a by-name list. No public safety at the table. No We Heart Seattle. No Union Gospel Mission or Salvation Army. (or mention of faith based partners) No clean-and-sober providers like The More We Love, Oxford, Weld, or Battlefield. Jon (CEO of @downtownseattle ) says Service Resistant Homeless is a myth! That statement is widely used by Housing First Advocates. Where was the criminal justice system? More coordination without accountability or treatment isn’t a plan. It’s just more death, chaos, and wasted taxes dollars.

Seattle leaders are doubling down on housing as the solution for our crisis population running our streets. This is infuriating and will cost more lives, more money, and decimate our shared spaces like parks and sidewalks. 🤦‍♀️
NEW: Socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson admits the current response to the city’s homeless drug crisis isn’t working. But she’s doubling down on the failed Housing First approach and working with the same players in the regions’s homeless industrial complex that presided over the past decade of failure. 🧵👇🏽

The playbook will go something like this: 1) win back the House and Senate, and hopefully the Presidency in 2028; (2) admit DC and Puerto Rico as states, which doesn’t need a constitutional amendment, to gain 4 new Senate seats and cement control; (3) pack the Court, which only requires a change to the Judiciary Act of 1869, not a constitutional amendment; (4) eliminate the electoral college, which is unconstitutional, but not when you have a rigged court that finds the ‘loophole’; (5) flood the country with pliant migrants, swamp the natives, and hold power indefinitely.
Hillary wants the Supreme Court expanded to 13 Justices -- but not until "Democrats are in power." Because it's all about making the court less partisan and has nothing to do with entrenching Democrat power, of course.

The circle-jerk of homeless service providers getting millions from far left city governments to do the same thing "but different" continues in Seattle while San Francisco is requiring every NGO to re-apply for funding. Elections matter. @weheartseattle @DiscoveryCWP

I am releasing my full documentary titled: Paris 3 Days Later... I dropped everything to go to Paris because it was clear from the footage that this is could be coming to America next. I couldn't believe my eyes, just burned up upside down cars lying on the street. The crazier part was just seeing people walk around it like it was nothing. In the video you'll see interviews I did with an anarchist and a communist that justified the riots. You'll hear from a woman who feels unsafe going home after work every night. Most of all you'll actually see that the majority of the people in the city do not want their city to burn. I will continue my reporting here and be at the next riot. The best way to support my reporting is to subscribe on X.

Seems like there’s a theme here on the West Coast.
Millions of dollars are being mismanaged and stolen, even as people suffer and die in the streets. Successful homelessness programs can show lives restored and transformed. We need accountability NOW.
