Zack Greinke once told Alex Gordon that he wanted to show him something in the Video Room. When an excited gordon arrived, Greinke Cued up a video of himself hitting a homerun. He simply told Gordon: "Do more of that."

Mick Jagger Says It’s Not His Job to Lecture Rolling Stones’ Fans on Politics

NYT: “Bruce Springsteen clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth.”

MICK JAGGER: “My job in the live music world is for those people that come to have the best time … And you don't want to lecture them.”

DISTURBING: Unearthed video shows Tim Walz saying Deporting Tou Lue Vang, who raped a 10 year-old girl, would NOT make Minnesota safer.

“I can find no reason how Minnesota is safer or better if Mr. Vang is deported to a country he has not been to since he was a child”

So Walz pardoned him…

Thankfully the Trump administration deported this monster.

I literally can’t believe what I just heard

Chris Hansen from To Catch a Predator says they were filming in Florida and “We had 51 guys show up in 6 days”

51 adults caught going to meet underage children caught IN JUST 6 DAYS

- One guy showed up at the county jail to pick up a 14-year-old girl, he wants to pick her up and sexually exploit her
- One guy showed up at a Target to meet who he thought was a dad offering up his 7 and 14 year-old son

“And if you saw this guy in Target standing in line, he doesn't stick out of the crowd. You wouldn't have even thought twice about this guy being dangerous”

To Catch a Predator show ended but Chris Hanson is still doing the work on his new show ‘Takedown with Chris Hensen’

The work he’s done across his shows has already led to over 500 arrests

Think of how many child predators are really in America, especially if 51 showed up in one county in only 6 days

We have a major problem

FRAUD 🚨 Remember when Gavin Newsom gave that free diapers contract to the Baby2Baby NGO ran by his wife Jennifer Newsom’s friend

CBS Los Angeles put in records requests for the contract details and bids and Gavin Neswsom won’t release it

- CBS requested the contract and related records including competitive bid scoring sheets on May 12, 2026. 4 days after the announcement

- Governor’s office sent them to California Health and Human Services

- That agency sent them to another agency)

Legally, they had up to 10 days to respond on disclosure, but that doesn’t stop them from not releasing it

- California filled a first extension under an unusual circumstances clause
- After 10 days, invoked a clause for another 14 days to decide on disclosure

This is already 24 days to even confirm they were disclosable

- They delayed again and promised copies in 3–4 weeks after that decision
- On the due date of July 3, the state requested another 2 weeks

- 56 days since the request, the state still is refusing to provided the executed contract, procurement packet, scope of work and bid scoring sheets

Again, this was all supposed to just be simply provided within a few days

Only one reason for this, massive fraud and money laundering

The bravest man in the prison camp did not carry a rifle. He carried a Mass kit and a stolen sack of food, and the Communists were more afraid of him than of any soldier there.

Father Emil Kapaun was a Catholic priest from a tiny farm town in Kansas. Soft spoken, humble, the kind of man who probably should have spent his life doing quiet parish work. Instead he put on an Army uniform and became a chaplain, and he ended up on the front line in Korea in the fall of 1950.

At the battle of Unsan his unit got overrun by a massive Chinese assault. Men were told to pull out and save themselves. Kapaun refused to leave. He walked back and forth through the incoming fire, unarmed, dragging wounded soldiers out of the open, giving last rites to the dying, carrying men on his back. When the position finally fell he could have slipped away. He stayed with the wounded who could not move, knowing it meant capture.

Then came the moment people never forgot. A Chinese soldier stood over a wounded American sergeant named Herbert Miller, about to execute him where he lay. Kapaun walked straight up, pushed the enemy soldier aside, picked the wounded man up off the ground, and carried him away. The enemy was so startled by the sheer nerve of it that they let it happen. Miller lived the rest of his life because a priest refused to let him be shot.

What he did in the prison camp over the next seven months might be the most incredible part. In a filthy, freezing camp where men were dying of starvation and dysentery every day, Kapaun became the heart of the place. He snuck out at night to steal food for the sick. He boiled water in secret to keep men from dying of disease. He gave away his own tiny rations. He washed the filth off dying soldiers with his own hands, and he led prayers out loud in defiance of guards who beat him for it, keeping hope alive in men who had every reason to quit.

The Communists hated him for it, because faith was the one thing they could not take from those prisoners as long as he was breathing. Eventually the beatings and the starvation and a blood clot broke his body. When he got too sick, the guards hauled him off to the death house, a filthy room where they dumped men to die alone. He forgave his guards on the way out. He died there in May 1951 at just thirty five years old.

Sixty two years later they gave him the Medal of Honor. His fellow prisoners, the ones who lived because of him, spent their whole lives telling the world what he did. His body, long lost in an unmarked grave, was finally identified and brought home in 2021. And the Catholic Church is now on the road to declaring the humble priest from Kansas a saint.

IT HAPPENED 🍔👑

[Richard Bailey @RichardPBailey_]

Public records show the city spent $6M to rebuild two Mission Bay Park restrooms in the past 18 months that are now closed as part of the city’s decision to close 13 restrooms indefinitely to save $550K annually and help close the $100M structural deficit.

As bad as the restroom closures are, the bigger question is why is the city spending millions to build new facilities when it can’t afford to keep existing facilities open?

From the OB Pier to the Mission Beach lifeguard tower to these Mission Bay Park restrooms, the city has a pattern of letting facilities fall into a state of disrepair.

This lack of planning is both unacceptable and an egregious waste of tax dollars.

Last week, an agent in our office walked across the street to grab lunch.

While he was waiting at the crosswalk, a homeless woman illegally crossed the street and started walking toward him.

He could tell she was clearly tweaked out, so he stepped aside and turned to let her pass.

Then she grabbed him by the shirt and started attacking him.

With only a hydro flask in hand, he hits her on the head. She barely notices and continues attacking him repeatedly.

He continues to fight back until she finally lets go. She then starts screaming at him and threatening his life.

This didn't happen on Skid Row, it happened at 2:30 PM in broad daylight in Encino, CA - one of the more affluent areas in LA.

After the homeless lady finally walks away, still screaming to herself, he calls the police.

He then proceeds to sit there for an hour waiting. The police never come.

At 9:30 PM, 7 hours after the incident, the police call and say they've arrived.

By now he's home, the attacker is miles away, and realizing the futility of his efforts, he doesn't open an investigation.

This crime now goes unreported and LA politicians can tout that crime has decreased.

This is the reality of what it's like living in LA. Stories like this are not uncommon.

Thankfully this agent was able to go home to his family after this, with only a crazy story to tell and nothing worse.

But imagine if she had a needle in her hand when she hit him, or a knife.

Crime in LA has not gone down, no matter what they try to tell you, it's just extremely underreported by worn out citizens in a broken system that needs a complete overhaul.

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!

An Atlanta judge let a man WALK OUT OF JAIL EARLY for BEATING a woman's face so badly, he SHATTERED HER ORBITAL BONE on a public train...

...TWO MONTHS AFTER HIS RELEASE, HE ST*BS A WOMAN TO DE*TH ON WALKING PATH!!!

HE GOES ON TO ASSAULT A POSTAL WORKER WITH A ROCK BEFORE HE IS CAUGHT BY POLICE...

In January, Jahmare Brown got on top of and beat a female attorney as she stepped off a MARTA train to go to work in Atlanta... he broke her NOSE and then shattered her ORBITAL BONE.

She needed 25 STITCHES.

...MARTA Police charged it as a MISDEMEANOR!!!

The incident report DIDN'T EVEN MENTION THE BROKEN BONES.

Brown was sentenced to 120 days... but he was released early, and only served 60.

He was out in MARCH!!!!!

Two months later, he beat a postal worker with a ROCK and st*bbed Alyssa Paige to de*th at noon on the Atlanta Beltline.

If Brown had served the full 120 days the court gave him, he would have STILL BEEN IN JAIL the day he k*lled her.

Alyssa Paige would be alive.

STOP. LETTING. VIOLENT. OFFENDERS. OUT. OF. PRISON!!!!!!!!!!

WE DON'T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One night well after midnight in July 1990 I drove a Jeep off a cliff in the Montana woods, landed upside down in a creek, but miraculously survived. Around six in the morning I got home from the ER. My answering machine was blinking. Four messages from my mother in Minnesota, increasingly frantic, demanding that I call her -- the first call time stamped just minutes after the accident.

I called her. She picked up instantly. "Oh my god, you're okay," she said before I could speak. "I dreamed you were lying bleeding in a ditch and I couldn't get to you."
