HOW IT STARTED: Smear Campaign Against Larry Elder Reveals Fraud by Woke Media.
Elder, who would have become the state’s first black governor had he won, was smeared continually by California media at the behest of the left in the most absurd and often quite offensive ways.
The Los Angeles Times ran an opinion column in August [2021] headlined “Larry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy. You’ve been warned.” Another Los Angeles Times columnist linked Elder to the politics of David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan.
How It’s Going:
I love how every article like this is like, "Hi, I'm a disabled, transgender anchor baby whose family's existence was drain on American taxpayers. I hate children and my sexual fetish is watching homeless drug addicts writhing in their own feces on the sidewalk so I love the… https://t.co/BfHZw1LVjx

Tweet concludes, “‘so I love the status quo here in LA. Anyway, please vote for the candidate that will allow me to keep pleasuring myself to the sight of living corpses on our streets.’”
Sean Davis responds, that the L.A. Times are “claiming Pratt has a ‘dark vision’ for Los Angeles because he opposes the city constantly being on fire. What a bunch of psychopaths.”
In 2026, that’s the level to which the DNC-MSM has descended. As Jim Treacher writes: Dems to Spencer Pratt: Ha Ha, Your House Burned Down.
A “journalist” named Marlo Stern recently responded to Pratt’s promise to leave Los Angeles if he loses. I guess he said that on some podcast. I don’t know if he was joking. I don’t know. He said it.
And Marlo Stern’s response was:
Okay. Why does he live in Santa Barbara?
Because his house burned down.
That’s the whole point of his campaign. That’s why he wants to be mayor. He knows better than most people how incompetent the government is.
But the Democrats don’t have an answer for that. They can’t rebut the centerpiece of his campaign. So they just pretend it didn’t happen. They act like he doesn’t live in his own home by choice. He decided to move.
And that was Pratt’s response:
That was a “wild meltdown,” according to the Daily Beast. Because Spencer Pratt is not a Democrat.
And now this Marlo Stern idiot is playing victim, because the big bad Republican was mean to him. All he did was make fun of the guy for his house burning down. That’s journalism, isn’t it?
That’s all they’ve got, because he’s exactly right about the problem. And they don’t know how to solve problems. All they can do is lie about it. All they can do is call you names about it.
I’m skeptical that Spencer Pratt can win in L.A., but the Democrats sure think so. That’s why they’re panicking.
Either way, I’m glad he’s pushing back against these corrupt… I can’t think of a word that I won’t have to bleep out. These corrupt so-and-so’s. How about that?
Philadelphians reelected Democrat Wilson Goode in 1987 after his administration burned four city blocks, which “killed 11 people, and left 250 people homeless,” when the police bombed the radical chic MOVE group out of their compound and the resulting fire spread out of control. Los Angelenos will soon likely award far worse incompetence.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: NASA’s Psyche Mission Aces Mars Flyby, Targets Metal-Rich Asteroid.
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft completed its close approach of Mars on May 15, coming within 2,864 miles (4,609 kilometers) of the planet’s surface. This flyby used a gravity assist from Mars to provide a critical boost in speed and to adjust the spacecraft’s orbital plane without using any onboard propellant, sending it on its way toward the metal-rich asteroid Psyche.
The spacecraft is now headed directly toward the asteroid, located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. After the Mars flyby, the flight team analyzed radio signals between the spacecraft and NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN), the agency’s global system for communicating with interplanetary spacecraft, to confirm that Psyche was on the correct trajectory.
“Although we were confident in our calculations and flight plan, monitoring the DSN’s Doppler signal in real time during the flyby was still exciting,” said Don Han, Psyche’s navigation lead at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “We’ve confirmed that Mars gave the spacecraft a 1,000 mile‑per‑hour boost and shifted its orbital plane by about 1 degree relative to the Sun. We are now on course for arrival at the asteroid Psyche in summer 2029.”
It’s almost impossible to overstate how important/exciting this mission is.
TEDIOUS REPETITION:
Massie votes against border control and funding ICE. People in his district overwhelming supported those things and booted his ass out. And now all the groypers are shouting TEH JOOOOZ. Ye gods, find a new schtick. We get it: You hate Jews. No need to keep beating that…

SPOILER: IT DID LESS THAN NOT HELP.
We've already run this experiment. In 2000, NYC spent about $10k per student on education. That's about $20k per student in 2026 dollars.
This year NYC will spend over $40k per student on education.
So we've already doubled spending on education. Did it help?
Bezos is right. https://t.co/qWQjAABkVY

AND SHE’S RUNNING FOR THE HOUSE AS A ‘MODERATE’: Sex therapist Dem candidate blasted over vile call to convert ICE facilities into camps for ‘American Zionists’ with castration center.
SAME PLAYBOOK, SAME PLAYS:
Israel is the new Russia
Netanyahu is the new Putin
The Epstein Files is the new Steele Dossier
Once you see that the "foreign influence" psyop is a recycled play from Trump's first term, you can't unsee it.
Don't fall victim to such an obvious disinformation campaign.
