Welcome to #Firegate, where Los Angeles city leadership tried to scrub their own after-action report to hide their catastrophic failures during the Palisades Fire. The LA Times just exposed deliberate deletions designed to shield Mayor Bass, the fire department, and Governor Newsom from accountability—including removing references to the January 1st fire that crews were ordered to leave smoldering, only to reignite six days later and kill 12 people while destroying thousands of homes. The battalion chief who wrote the original report? He refused to sign the cooked version, calling it "highly unprofessional." Sections titled "failures" got renamed "primary challenges," and language about policy violations just vanished. Mayor Bass was in Ghana while her city prepared to burn, firefighters sat idle for over an hour during the blaze, and now they're forming "crisis management work groups" to minimize liability. Is anyone shocked that California leadership is more interested in covering their tracks than protecting taxpayers? When will voters demand actual accountability instead of political spin? Hit subscribe, smash that like button, and share this with everyone who's tired of government corruption masquerading as transparency.
Deadbeat Newsom defaults on $20 billion—and guess who's paying? While every other state in America used federal funds to responsibly pay off their COVID unemployment loans, California chose a different path: stimulus checks for voters and zero dollars toward the debt. Now businesses are stuck with automatic payroll tax hikes that escalate $21 annually, with surcharges projected to exceed $400 per worker. Meanwhile, Newsom had a $100 billion budget surplus in 2022 but didn't use a dime to help employers. Texas paid off their debt. Florida paid off their debt. Even Washington paid theirs. But California? They're too busy funding illegal immigrant healthcare and virtue signaling to care about the businesses fleeing the state in droves. Budweiser just closed their last Bay Area brewery—think that's just about beer sales? How long can businesses survive when California keeps piling on "the greatest hidden tax" while maintaining the nation's highest unemployment rate? Is anyone surprised Newsom wants to run this playbook nationally in 2028? Drop your thoughts below, and if you're tired of watching taxpayers get fleeced, subscribe and share this with every business owner you know.
Anheuser-Busch is shuttering its 50-year-old Fairfield brewery—yet another business exodus from California. But don't expect the media to connect the dots. They'll blame the beer industry slump, maybe even reference that disastrous Bud Light marketing fiasco from 2023, but conveniently ignore the anti-business policies strangling the Golden State. We're talking crushing taxes, suffocating regulations, sky-high real estate costs, and unpaid unemployment debt being dumped on employers. After losing Chevron's 140-year headquarters and watching countless businesses flee to Texas, Florida, and Nevada, California officials are still scratching their heads wondering what went wrong. Meanwhile, 200 workers lose their jobs and the mayor gets to deliver the holiday bad news. Is anyone surprised that companies can't survive in a state hellbent on making business impossible? When will California admit its policies are the problem? If you're tired of watching preventable economic disasters unfold while the media plays dumb, hit that subscribe button and let's keep exposing the truth together.
Toilet rats. Yes, you read that right. Western Washington health officials are warning residents that flooding could send sewer rats swimming up into your toilet bowl—because apparently, 2025 wasn't weird enough already. This is the same public health department that brought you "booty bump kits," so you know we're in good hands. We break down their official advice: stay calm (good luck with that), close the lid, flush repeatedly, and—wait for it—squirt Dawn dish soap into the toilet to make the rat slide back down. Because nothing says "government efficiency" like telling taxpayers to lube up their toilets and hope for the best. What happened to actual infrastructure maintenance? How about fixing those cracked sewer pipes before Norway rats start doing the backstroke through our plumbing? Is your first instinct really going to be "grab the Dawn" when you lift that toilet lid? Drop a comment if you've had a rat visitor—and whether the dish soap trick actually worked. Don't forget to subscribe for more stories that make you question everything.
Here we go again—universities have gone completely off the rails with performative virtue signaling that accomplishes absolutely nothing. This episode dives into a federal appeals court ruling that sided with a Washington professor who dared to mock his university's land acknowledgement ritual. Spoiler alert: he almost lost his career for it. We break down the absurdity of land acknowledgements (they don't give money, they don't give land back, just empty words to make woke administrators feel better), the insanity of DEI hiring requirements that prioritize ideology over merit, and bonus coverage of an Oklahoma student who got a zero for citing the Bible in a gender essay. One conservative professor out of 80 faculty members at UW? The indoctrination is real, folks. Is higher education even worth it anymore, or should kids skip the woke mind virus and learn a trade? What happened to merit-based hiring and actual free speech on campus? Drop your thoughts below—I want to hear if you think these institutions can be saved or if they're beyond repair. Make sure you're subscribed and hit that notification bell so you don't miss the next dose of academic insanity!
A 75-year-old woman had her eye ripped out by a career criminal swinging a bolt-spiked board outside the King County Courthouse in broad daylight—and when police arrested him, their reaction was priceless: "Oh, you know him? Yeah, he usually just punches people." Welcome to Seattle, where a violent felon with EIGHT prior assault convictions gets to roam Third Avenue because he checks every protected box: homeless, mentally ill, drug-addicted, AND identifies as transgender. Mayor Bruce Harrell's solution? "Maybe he was abused as a child. Maybe he's hungry." Sure, he was just looking for a sandwich when he blinded an innocent woman. This is what progressive justice looks like—a million-dollar bail AFTER someone loses an eye, not before. Police knew him by name. He had a "violent person caution" tag. He stabbed someone eight times at a party. Yet he walked free until this moment. How many eyes need to be lost before Seattle wakes up? Is anyone surprised this happened on Third Avenue, the absolute worst street in the city? When will voters hold their leadership accountable for letting monsters roam free? Subscribe for more insanity from the streets where "catch and release" isn't just for fishing—it's criminal justice policy.
A Portland bureaucrat literally cries on camera and blames capitalism for the city's homelessness crisis—after spending THREE BILLION DOLLARS in five years while homelessness skyrocketed 150-200%. You can't make this up. City Administrator Michael Jordan refuses to mention drugs or mental illness, instead pointing fingers at "wealth distribution" while Portland's streets overflow with addiction and untreated mental health crises. Meanwhile, other cities that don't coddle the homeless industrial complex somehow manage just fine without spending billions on failed policies. Portland spent $700+ million in a single year and saw homelessness jump 67% in two years. Their response? Cry, blame capitalism, and ask for more taxpayer money. No accountability, no mention of drugs or mental health, just progressive ideology running the city into the ground while businesses and residents flee. Is anyone surprised that treating symptoms instead of root causes doesn't work? How many more billions will they waste before admitting their housing-first, harm-reduction approach is a catastrophic failure? Subscribe for more government accountability and policy reality checks that the mainstream media won't give you.
Are the Chicago Bears really preparing to leave Illinois? 👀🏈Recent reports suggest the Bears are expanding their stadium search beyond Arlington Heights — and even looking across the border into Northwest Indiana.

California has officially reversed course on its plan to revoke thousands of commercial driver’s licenses held by immigrant truckers.

In this video, we cover the shocking incident at the Bellevue Transit Center in Washington, where 38-year-old Mohamed Morray Bangura allegedly placed a false 911 call before attacking responding police officers with a knife.

California is facing a major shake-up in its energy sector. Valero has announced a $1.1 billion exit from its Benicia refinery, choosing to shut down operations rather than continue under California’s strict regulatory environment. This closure could remove nearly 9% of the state’s in-state gasoline production—and analysts warn it may intensify the ongoing gas price crisis.
California invested nearly half a billion dollars to upgrade its outdated 911 network — promising faster response times, better location tracking, and modern features like text-to-911.Instead? The project collapsed.System failures. Dropped emergency calls. A design no other state used. And now, taxpayers are left with the bill as the state prepares to start over.
Building a new home in the Sacramento region is getting more expensive—and not just because of materials and labor. According to a new report, local government fees now average $109,000 per home, adding major pressure to housing affordability.
