Spencer Pratt's ally in his reckless negligence lawsuit

Spencer Pratt teams up with unlikely ally to take on Karen Bass over LA fires

Former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is taking his legal battle over deadly wildfires to a new level.

Pratt’s relentless criticism of Mayor Karen Bass and her failures during the California wildfires that destroyed countless homes, including his own, has added a surprising ally in his lawsuit against the city.

“I am proud to be teaming up with Karen Bass’ brother in suing his sister for her reckless negligence that led to the destruction of our homes,” Pratt announced in a social media post on Sunday.

LA Homeless Services spent $513mil but could not account for one dime

Trump Cuts Ties with Los Angeles Homeless Agency Over Obvious Fraud

For years now, Americans have watched billions of their hard-earned tax dollars vanish into government “homelessness programs” that somehow never manage to solve homelessness. Progressive city leaders announce bold spending initiatives. Nonprofits line up at the trough.

Bureaucracies balloon. And the tent cities? They just keep growing. The Trump administration’s fraud task force, led by Vice President JD Vance, is finally exposing how deep the rot actually runs.

What they’re uncovering should infuriate every American who pays taxes. From the Midwest to the West Coast, the task force is finding a disturbing pattern: blue-state governments treating federal dollars like Monopoly money — or worse, like a personal piggy bank for well-connected insiders. But no city illustrates the scandal quite like Los Angeles.

From Fox News:

A top Trump agency is cutting off funding to the Los Angeles agency responsible for coordinating billions in homelessness spending after accusing it of “obvious fraud,” “wanton mismanagement” and repeated failures to safeguard taxpayer dollars, Fox News Digital has learned.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which is a member of the White House fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance, is immediately suspending the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s (LAHSA) federal funding while HUD’s inspector general investigates potential offenses by the agency and its leadership.

The City Controller’s Office found that LAHSA failed to spend $513 million in public funds during fiscal year 2024. The excuse? Not enough staff and outdated technology. So they couldn’t spend the money. And when they did manage to spend it, they couldn’t tell anyone where it went. Remarkable.

Democrats nervous about Spencer Pratt

Spencer Pratt got a big endorsement but not in the traditional way

THIS is how you deal with Democrat elitist hypocrites!

The chatter around Spencer Pratt’s campaign for Los Angeles mayor has continued to increase following his strong debate performance and common sense platform.

It appears Pratt’s surge in popularity is making Hollywood nervous. So nervous that they are now starting to attack him in an attempt to stifle his campaign.

The most recent example of this comes from Chelsea Handler, who regurgitates the tired talking points against Pratt in a video posted to social media.

“Oh, hi! If you’re seeing this video, this is a reminder that a straight, white male, reality star that has no previous experience in government should not be a legitimate political candidate,” Handler says.

“Have we learned anything yet?” Handler asked, referring to President Donald Trump. “The bar is on the f*cking floor, people. And I need you to jump over it. Ok, thank you! Have a nice day!”

See Chelsea the w(b)itch with her hate

Spencer Pratt is making a significant surge, closing the gap with Mayor Karen Bass, putting him in a tight contest to secure a spot in the general election runoff.

Karen Bass breaks formal commitment to debate in Mayoral Forum

Karen Bass backs out of Los Angeles mayoral forum after signing commitment to attend

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass withdrew from a televised mayoral candidate forum scheduled for May 13 on FOX 11, just two weeks after she signed a document confirming she would be there.

The forum's co-sponsors, the League of Women Voters and the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs, announced the pullout publicly and made clear they were not happy about it.

The withdrawal drew sharp criticism from organizers, who said voters deserved to see Bass face her opponents on live television during what they called "a period of extraordinary challenges" for the city. Her campaign offered a scheduling conflict as the reason. The timeline tells a different story.

Bass confirmed her attendance on April 22 by signing a formal commitment form for the 2026 Mayoral Candidate Forum. Organizers even posted a photograph of the signed document on Instagram.

Then, on May 7, her campaign pulled the plug, not because of a conflict flagged earlier, but with a blunt message relayed through a campaign consultant: they were "done with debates."

The Hospice Fraud

The Numbers That Made Fox Show Up

Los Angeles County has roughly 1,800 licensed hospice providers – about six times the national average for a region its size.

Dr. Oz estimates LA County alone accounts for roughly $3.5 billion in hospice and home care fraud annually. Of those 1,800 hospices, CBS News found over 700 still operating despite triggering multiple fraud red flags.

On a single stretch of Van Nuys Boulevard, investigators found 42 hospice licenses registered within four blocks – many sharing the same multi-tenant office buildings.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, now running Medicare and Medicaid, stood in that neighborhood and put it plainly: "Either there are a lot of people dying here, or you got a fraudulent activity that is so good everyone wants to get in on it."

California's Hospice Fraud

Vance anti-fraud task force charges 15 people in $50M+ California hospice fraud scheme

Federal prosecutors have charged 15 people in Southern California in connection with a wide-ranging scheme that allegedly defrauded Medicare of more than $50 million through sham hospice operations, authorities said April 2.

Eight defendants — including nurses, a chiropractor, and a purported psychologist — were arrested in coordinated raids across the Los Angeles area, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Prosecutors allege the defendants operated fraudulent hospice companies that enrolled patients who were not terminally ill and billed Medicare for unnecessary or nonexistent services. In some cases, beneficiaries were recruited with monthly cash payments to sign up for hospice care, according to court documents.

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz announced a plan to review every hospice in California by the end of the year, along with a nationwide moratorium on certain medical equipment tied to fraudulent billing, according to FOX.

Hospice Fraud in Los Angeles

FBI arrests eight in alleged $60 million hospice fraud crackdown across Los Angeles County

"Federal agents fanned out across Southern California on Thursday, arresting eight people and executing search warrants in what prosecutors called "Operation Never Say Die", a sprawling takedown targeting an alleged $60 million hospice-related fraud scheme that siphoned taxpayer money through Medicare and Medicaid for patients who, in some cases, were recruited in grocery store parking lots.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli announced the operation during a news conference, saying charges would be brought against 15 individuals across greater Los Angeles County. The alleged schemes ranged from bogus hospice businesses registered to empty lots to convicted felons who were barred by law from running health care operations but did it anyway, using family members as fronts, The Center Square reported.

The arrests mark the latest federal enforcement action in a state that has become ground zero for health care fraud. And the political fallout is already underway, with California Republican lawmakers demanding to know how the schemes flourished for years under Gov. Gavin Newsom's watch while his press office scrambled to take credit for a 2021 moratorium on new hospice licenses."

OMG' team attacked in Los Angeles

Caught on Tape--Cash and Drug exchange for registering voters in California

In the most alarming development yet in O'Keefe Media Group's Cash for Ballots investigation, hidden-camera footage captures a violent attack on OMG journalists on Skid Row in Los Angeles.

Three individuals — the same illegal petition circulators previously documented exchanging cash and drugs for voter registrations, video below — ambushed the team after journalists returned to confront them on camera. Cameraman Mike was punched in the neck, a team member was pepper sprayed at close range, and James O'Keefe was briefly separated from his crew in the chaos.

When the team located a police officer at the scene and reported the assault — and the ongoing illegal petition fraud — his response was: "I ain't getting involved in that. No comment." He then acknowledged: "I saw one of your videos already." He was aware of the fraud. He chose not to act.

The DOJ has the tapes. The LA DA's Public Integrity Division is coordinating with OMG. Governor Newsom, the U.S. Attorney, the California Secretary of State, the White House, and President Trump have all responded to the investigation. Part III is in production.



Are we ever going to see our DOJ arrest anyone?

Los Angeles businesses deemed high risk for fraud.

Vance’s fraud task force drops hammer: 70 California hospice and home health providers suspended

The Trump administration's new Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, chaired by Vice President JD Vance, is moving to suspend dozens of Los Angeles businesses.

On March 16, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the task force, announcing that it would advise the president and coordinate efforts to end fraud, waste, and abuse in government benefit programs.
'The American people deserve better than being ripped off by people who hate this country.'
The task force is working with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to identify and suspend hospice and home health providers flagged as high risk.

CMS has suspended 70 providers, a source told Blaze News

An Anti-Ice protest functioning as cover for violence

Federal agent hospitalized after attack during anti-ICE protest in downtown Los Angeles

A federal agent was attacked and hospitalized Friday during an anti-ICE protest in downtown Los Angeles after suspects assaulted the agent and then disappeared into the crowd of marching demonstrators.

The LAPD confirmed the incident in a post on X before 1 p.m., noting that the suspects who carried out the attack melted back into the protest — a tactic that makes the march itself a shield for violence.

"Suspects who attacked the Federal Agents have blended into the March."

The LAPD also confirmed that the Los Angeles Fire Department was dispatched to treat the injured agent, who was transported to a hospital in unknown condition. Police did not specify which federal agency the agent worked for, and as of Friday afternoon, it remained unclear whether any arrests had been made in connection with the attack.

The protest, described by local outlets as a student walkout, blocked traffic in downtown L.A. and included acts of vandalism at the Federal Building. Demonstrators also threw items at police.

Olympic Committee Los Angeles backs Wasserman

DOJ Epstein Files Expose LA Olympics Chief’s Sex Trafficking Ties And He Refuses To Resign

This happened 23 years ago and Wasserman should NOT resign

The Department of Justice just released over three million documents about Jeffrey Epstein's elite pedophile network.

Congress forced the release after years of federal agencies stonewalling what they knew.

The files revealed Casey Wasserman – the man in charge of the 2028 LA Olympics – asking convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell what he had to do to see her in a tight leather outfit, and Democrats are letting him keep his job.

Casey Wasserman's name appeared more than 100 times. The 51-year-old runs one of Hollywood's biggest talent agencies representing stars like Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran, and Brad Pitt. He chairs the organizing committee for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. That gives him control of billions in taxpayer money and the city's reputation when the world watches.

The emails showed Wasserman telling Maxwell in 2003 that he thought about her constantly.

U.S. cracks down on Violent Leftist Groups

Mexican Independence Day protest in LA fizzles after Trump administration's crackdown on far-left groups

If there was any day to show the Trump administration that the local population is still ardently resisting federal agents arresting illegal aliens, Tuesday night would have been the perfect time to have their show of force.

Instead, barely 100 protesters showed up at MacArthur Park outside the Mexican Consulate before heading to the Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles for Mexican Independence Day. The event was shared on social media by some far-left groups who have been active in the city, but given the significance of the day, the flyer was not widely shared compared to past protests.

A source familiar with the situation told Blaze News that the Los Angeles Police Department, which monitors online chatter in case of mass disturbances, did not need to issue a tactical alert for the downtown area because the event had such a small crowd.

The lack of any meaningful attendance is shocking considering the wave of riots in response to immigration enforcement started in Los Angeles. The Federal Building was under siege for days, surrounded by thousands of people, back in June. Larger crowds showed up on days like Independence Day for the United States to harass federal agents, soldiers, and Marines guarding the building.

Tuesday's showing is an indicator of how concerned would-be agitators are about getting swept up in the crackdown on violent leftist groups and street actors in the aftermath of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk being assassinated last week.

"There are these nonprofit entities that organize ... attacks on ICE officers, attacks on Border Patrol agents, organized doxxing campaigns, which are a violation of federal law. ... There's a whole network of organization, so I think the key point the president has been making is, somebody is paying for all of this.

This is not happening for free. Under the president's direction, the attorney general is going to find out who is paying for it, and they will now be criminally liable for paying for violence," deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller said on Monday.

NY Post will launch a newspaper based in Los Angeles, The California Post

New York Post Launches California Post Newspaper

New York Post Media Group, a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., will launch a new, daily Los Angeles-based newspaper called "The California Post" in early 2026.

It's a ripe market, and one in which NYPMG — home to the New York Post, Page Six and Decider — already has a leg up.

Los Angeles is home to the second-largest concentration of Post readers, per News Corp.

The vast majority (90%) of the Post's digital readership lives outside of New York.

The California Post will look and feel similar to its New York counterpart — delivering journalism, entertainment and celebrity gossip, sports news, local news and opinion — with an edgy voice.

Despite a trying time for newspapers, the New York Post has managed to remain profitable for the past three years.

The New York Post is generally considered a conservative publication. The New York Post is known for its right-leaning perspective and its close ties to its owner, Rupert Murdoch, who also owns other conservative media outlets.

Bionic shields" trucked in for the Los Angeles Insurrrectionists

In a stunning development, a federal grand jury has indicted Alejandro Orellana, the man who went viral last month for delivering bionic face shields and supplies to violent anti-ICE rioters during the Los Angeles chaos.

This indictment exposes the dark underbelly of left-wing extremism, where anarchists and agitators are openly armed and funded to wage war against law enforcement—all while the liberal media turns a blind eye or, worse, cheers them on.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor originally reported, Orellana was caught on video pulling up in a pickup truck loaded with tactical gear, including bionic face shields—equipment clearly designed for violent confrontations with police.

Fox 11 LA reporter Elex Michaelson, one of the few journalists willing to call out the blatant coordination behind these riots, tweeted at the time:
“#BREAKING We just saw people arrive in Downtown L.A. with truck loads of Bionic Face Shields that demonstrators quickly grabbed. It certainly seems like gear you’d wear if you’re preparing for conflict with police. Who is funding this?”

Federal Government sues Los Angeles for Sanctuary City Policies

Trump DOJ Sues LA Over Sanctuary Policies

This lawsuit puts LA’s sanctuary city status in legal jeopardy

The Trump administration is suing the city of Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass and the City Council, it was announced Monday. Trump sues LA, Mayor Karen Bass.

According to the lawsuit, filed in the Central District of California, the administration is suing over LA's "sanctuary city" policies, alleging in federal court that the ordinance violates the Constitution by "thwarting" immigration enforcement.

The lawsuit contends that the sanctuary laws -- in which local law enforcement officials refuse to assist immigration enforcement efforts -- are illegal, and expressly designed to "obstruct the federal government's enforcement of federal immigration law and impede consultation and communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials that is necessary for federal officials to carry out federal immigration law and keep Americans safe."

The lawsuit notes that President Donald Trump "campaigned and won the presidential election on a platform of deporting the millions of illegal immigrants the previous administration permitted, through its open borders policy, to enter the country unlawfully."

Riots, Chaos and Turmoil all over Illegal Criminals

Los Angeles, now known for riots and mayhem

Los Angeles has plunged into chaos following a series of ICE raids.

According to Fox News, Riots erupted in Los Angeles after local ICE operations, leading to violent outbreaks and disruptive protests against President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

In Los Angeles, graffiti demanding harm to President Trump and Vice President JD Vance has mingled with the debris of strife. The U.S. Secret Service has noted these threats but has not confirmed any ongoing investigations relating to them.

The graffiti appeared during riots sparked by ICE's targeting of illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds. Messages like "Burn it all down" and explicit threats targeted at the administration have been documented. This violence began in Paramount, California, and quickly spread to encompass Los Angeles.

Amid the turmoil, President Trump mobilized the California National Guard and U.S. Marines to quell the riots. This escalation has led to a legal standoff with California Governor Gavin Newsom regarding control over the National Guard. The Supreme court

A federal appeals court panel late Thursday temporarily lifted a judge’s order ruling President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard illegal, enabling the troops to remain assisting with immigration raids in Los Angeles, for now.

Appeals court ended Newsom's gloating and returned control of National Guard to Trump only hours after first ruling. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals landed mere hours after U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ordered the president to return control of the troops to California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) by Friday afternoon.

Riots in LA started because of ICE raids in the Garment District

Why ICE was in Los Angeles to begin with

A fashion tax evasion investigation raid was happening, that’s why ICE was in LA.

Over $97 million in money laundering from Mexico into California

The majority of the more than 46,000 workers in the LA garment industry are undocumented immigrant (illegal) women from Latin America and Asia who work long hours for very low wages with few or no breaks in conditions likened to sweatshops, according to The Guardian.

Many businesses in the Fashion District rely heavily on this illegal immigrant workforce for manufacturing and production operations.

The raids might not end anytime soon. The Associated Press reported Tuesday that LA Mayor Karen Bass said her administration has heard the raids could continue for at least the next 30 days.

Tom Homan, “border czar” for the Trump administration, appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Live on Monday and said the Ambiance operation “wasn’t an immigration raid.” He said federal law enforcement officers were executing three criminal warrants related to money laundering, tax evasion and customs fraud investigations. Asked if all the employees arrested by ICE during the operation had a criminal record, he responded: “Absolutely not.”

“We will prioritize public safety threats,” he said. But he added, “We’re going to enforce immigration law … especially in sanctuary cities.”

Defending Law and Order in a lawless city

Trump Snaps At Press, Exposes Paid Protesters

As leftist rioters and foreign invaders wreak havoc in Los Angeles, President Donald Trump has taken decisive action to restore order, deploying the National Guard and 700 Marines to quell the violent uprising.

Meanwhile, California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom and failed LA Mayor Karen Bass have shamelessly blamed the federal government for the chaos, even filing a lawsuit to stop Trump’s lawful intervention. But the President isn’t backing down—he’s exposing the truth about the paid agitators and the liberal media’s complicity in the destruction.

Upon returning to Washington, President Trump spoke to reporters at Joint Base Andrews, making it clear that without federal troops, Los Angeles would be in flames. “If we didn’t send them in, Los Angeles would be burning down right now, just like the houses burned down,” he said, referencing the devastating wildfires earlier this year. When pressed on whether military involvement could escalate tensions, Trump fired back, “It can only go right. By having the military, it de-escalates.”

The President didn’t hold back in calling out the rioters for what they truly are—“agitators, troublemakers, and insurrectionists.” He revealed shocking details about their tactics, stating, “I watched them breaking up the sidewalks with a big hammer, handing pieces of the concrete to other people.” This wasn’t some spontaneous protest; it was a coordinated attack by professionals.

“Somebody is paying for that. I watched total professionals. He’s banging the curb, banging the granite, banging the concrete. And he had a whole group of people—they lined up like totally professional—grabbed the big chunks, and they dropped it on the soldiers. They dropped it on the Los Angeles Police.”
