Charlottesville residents used to enjoy peaceful walks on the Rivanna Trail. Now? It's home to the Freebridge encampment complete with tents, trash, human waste, and needles everywhere.
The city’s brilliant response? Portable toilets and hand-washing stations – on your dime, of course.
They're also chasing $7 million in state money (plus a $10M building retrofit) for a low-barrier shelter. Because cramming the same problems indoors will surely fix everything, right?
No serious talk of drug treatment or accountability – just more "out of sight, out of mind" spending.
City spokespeople call it compassion. Locals dealing with the mess call it a failure.
Virginia Insider is calling it what it is: a policy disaster along the river.
Charlottesville leaders need to hear from fed-up residents demanding real solutions.
What would you tell city council? Drop it in the comments and share if you want accountability in Virginia.

🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...
...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY
He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."
His name is Rishi Sharma.
He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.
He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.
He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...
...FOR FREE
So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.
Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.
He does it out of pure gratitude.
In his words:
"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."
As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:
"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."
THAT is America.
250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...
God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
There are Millionaire elites gathering at Madison Square Garden to celebrate a billionaire elite's wedding surrounded by walls and the NYPD.
Do you notice how there isn't any outrage on the left who claim to hate the rich, want to defund police, and are against borders?
A man who worked at Roebling Books & Coffee, a far-left bookstore chain in northern Kentucky, went missing last month, prompting messages from the store and community asking for help. Some people suggested Todd Garland was killed for being "LGBTQ."
It turns out that Garland fled the country after the Covington Police Department raided his home regarding a child s—x crime investigation. He was found dead in Paris, France.
Roebling Books & Coffee hosts drag queen story hour events, promotes the DSA and held training to help illegal migrants evade law enforcement.
A GoFundMe campaign to cremate Garland and bring his remains back to the U.S. says the proceeds would benefit a children's camp he liked. https://t.co/8VF5jRaL1z
🚨#BREAKING: A Texas man heard little girls SCREAMING inside a burning house...
...so he punched clean through a GLASS DOOR with his bare hand, wrapped a bandana over his face, and walked straight into the fire to carry them out.
He carried out one little girl.
Then he turned around and went back into the flames for the second.
His name is Leon Segura, two little girls are alive today because of him.
Leon was just driving home when he saw a house on fire and heard children screaming.
He ran towards front door, but it was too hot to get through.
So he ran to the back of the house, and with his BARE HAND, he punched through a glass door, shredding his arm and hand, tied a bandana over his face against the smoke, said,
"Lord, help me,"
and RAN into the fire!!!
He found two young girls inside and one by one, he carried them out.
Just as he pulled the second girl to safety, the back of the house collapsed behind him.
Those two girls are in the burn unit right now, fighting for their lives.
He didn't know them, but he risked his life anyway... that is what a hero looks like.
GOD BLESS Leon Segura!!!!
SAY HIS NAME: Michael Pahira
PA State Trooper Michael Pahira was K*LLED after Michael Bon, an ILLEGAL ALIEN truck driver from Haiti, allegedly crashed into him.
Bon got his CDL from Democrat-run Massachusetts. He’s being held on a $700,000 bond.
Another Democrat hero
It’s criminal the CEO makes 400X what the average worker makes but it’s perfectly fine that Taylor Swift makes 100000X more than the people who clean the arena after her concerts. A just society is one that rewards the exceptional qualities of the musician but not the executive.
In 2023 CNN fake journalist Laura Coates passionately explained why Trump's alleged mortgage fraud was not a victimless crime.
In 2025 Coates claimed that Letitia James' little mortgage fraud mistake wasn't a big deal because it didn't hurt anybody.
This is CNN.
“Do you think that gays have lost any rights under the conservative administration that we have right now?”
“Absolutely!”
“What rights have they lost?”
*Has panic attack because she can’t answer the question*
You cannot make this up 😭
Before reporting on the transgender case, NBC actually gave an effective trigger warning that it would be quoting the court in the use of terms like "biological male" and "biological female." https://t.co/bN4NImmroF This is how the press becomes a parody of itself.
We tax cigarettes to reduce smoking.
We tax alcohol to reduce drinking.
We tax fuel to reduce driving.
What do you think happens when you tax employing people and running a business?
Here’s a woman who was hired by Zohran Mamdani.
Let me say a few words.
You don’t have to be “pro police” for this video to make your skin crawl.
You don’t need a thin blue line.
You don’t need a badge and shield or to consider yourself a conservative.
You just have to be a human being.
In no unclear terms, and without a shred of partisanship, this behavior is abjectly despicable.
And I hope it gets a trillion reshares and fries a data center.
Because the more we call this type of conduct out, the less it becomes not only normalized, but glorified.
I speak out for rationality because this video really is the POSTER CHILD of the mob inflamed, hot blooded irrationality we are up against.
America’s ruling class has performed another miracle.
They took the most basic truths in human civilization ... crime needs punishment, borders need enforcement, schools should teach, welfare should be temporary, families matter, merit matters, and taxpayers should not be looted by professional parasites ... and somehow rebranded all of that as “extremism.”
Incredible work, really.
Apparently, a “compassionate” society is one where the violent repeat offender gets another chance, the victim gets a candlelight vigil, the taxpayer gets the bill, the schoolkid gets passed along illiterate, the fraudster gets a grant, the NGO gets another contract, the illegal alien gets services, and the working American gets told to shut up and be more inclusive.
What a beautiful system.
Soft justice did not stay in the courtroom. It metastasized. It became soft borders, soft schools, soft parenting, soft welfare, soft standards, soft men, and soft bureaucrats explaining why every obvious solution is “too harsh.”
Lock up predators? Cruel.
Deport illegals? Hateful.
End generational welfare? Lacking empathy.
Punish fraud? Complicated.
Restore merit? Problematic.
Teach kids to read? Probably colonialism by Tuesday.
A serious country protects the innocent from the guilty. A decaying country protects the guilty from consequences and makes the innocent finance the experiment.
That’s America’s real crisis.
Not poverty. Not “root causes.” Not another fake expert panel.
Consequences.
We stopped imposing them on the people destroying the country, so now the country imposes them on everyone else.

Airbnb sent an email with threats to a user that they will delete their Airbnb account unless he deletes a video he posted about one of his stays
This man rented an Airbnb. After leaving, the Host generated fake cleaning invoices using AI of fake companies. They then claimed to make payments fake payments to them for cleaning services after his stay, and wanted reimbursement
But it was all fake. So he made a post warning others not to stay there, the host has a criminal record and what how they generate fake cleaning bills with AI and want reimbursements
Airbnb took action against him, not the Host, saying he couldn’t post all this publicly available info and to delete the video or they will delete his account
Stop using Airbnb
He even provided Airbnb with proof the invoices were fake and AI-generated, photos disputing the damage claims and the host’s public criminal history and Airbnb still didn’t care
EXCLUSIVE 🚨 Fort Worth, Texas - On June 27, 2026, at Trinity Pride Fest in Fort Worth, Texas, street preachers Richard Penkoski and David Grisham were subjected to multiple violations of their First Amendment rights while attempting to preach on public property.
Upon arrival, they were immediately met by Fort Worth police officers who blocked their access to the public street and sidewalk, threatening both men with arrest for trespassing if they entered the area. When Grisham reminded officers that he had previously sued the City of Fort Worth in 2014 over this exact issue - a lawsuit that resulted in a settlement and an official apology from the city - the officer dismissed the prior case, stating, “I don’t care, you can file whatever lawsuit you want.”
After being forced outside the barricades, the confrontation escalated as multiple officers allegedly threatened to cite the men based on the subjective reactions of attendees. A female officer stated they would be cited if they said anything “offensive.” When Penkoski responded that offensive speech is protected under the Constitution and is not a crime, the officer claimed it fell under disorderly conduct, stating, “Well, yes, that is the conduct.”
Another officer further confirmed that citations would be based solely on whether others were offended. When Penkoski asked whether calling a biological male a “male” would result in a citation if someone took offense, the officer responded that if he continued doing so and someone found it offensive, he would be cited. Penkoski also pointed out that he was deeply offended by half-naked men walking around children at the event, but the officer dismissed the complaint, responding, “There’s really not much I can do about that.”
During the encounter, Penkoski pulled up and directly showed an officer established U.S. Supreme Court precedent confirming that the government cannot prohibit citizens from accessing traditional public forums such as streets and sidewalks simply because a private group holds a permit. Although the officer acknowledged the information by responding, “Huh,” he continued enforcing the restriction. (This video will be in the thread)
As officers repeatedly pushed the preachers farther away from the event, David Grisham was ultimately issued a citation for “unreasonable noise.” When asked to explain what constituted unreasonable noise under the circumstances, officers were unable to provide a clear definition, vaguely suggesting it could involve “sticking a megaphone in someone’s ear” - which Penkoski states did not occur, as the megaphone was held at waist level - or simply offending people.
When the officers were asked how they justified suppressing the constitutional rights of Christians and veterans who fought for the country, they offered no meaningful objective explanation. As a veteran who was willing to die defending American liberties, Penkoski said he found it deeply alarming that a Christian preacher in modern America could be threatened with arrest and cited while standing on public property simply because his message offended those listening.
Eric Trump just flipped the script on Chris Cuomo live on-air, leaving him shocked.
Cuomo accused President Trump of going after his political opponents the moment he took office…
Eric sounded off:
“Did we, did we try and bankrupt Biden? Did we raid Biden's home? Did we try and bankrupt Biden?”
“Did we weaponize every AG and DA against Biden? Do we do that against Hunter Biden who had a laptop from hell, pictures of cocaine, illicit drug use, prostitution?”
“Did we make up a dirty dossier? About Biden, did they try and destroy Biden's marriage? Did we make up stories that Biden had secret servers in the basement of his home communicating with the Kremlin in Russia?”
“Did we strip Biden off the ballot of multiple states? Did we take Biden off of Twitter and Instagram and Facebook and try and silence his voice so he couldn't communicate?”
“Did we put Biden in a courtroom every single day for nonsense to try and keep him off of a campaign trail to try and destroy his life?”
Well done @MrPoolQ1
We passed the 1924 immigration act that ended the Ellis Island experiment and reduced immigration by over 90% precisely BECAUSE all of those groups were coming here and forming enclaves rather than assimilating.
