.@CSUNSHINE TORCHES Karen Bass’ Failed Leadership
"Karen Bass is running her campaign the same way she's running city of Los Angeles which is lazy, corrupt and with a flagrant disregard for the rule of law."
🚨 “GIVE ME A BREAK!” — Fox News panelist reacts to Los Angeles Times claiming ‘L.A. is safer than it’s been in decades’
Trace Gallagher: “Crime IS a problem. It’s not solved. Reporting crime no longer happens in southern California.”
Caroline Sunshine: “Give me a break! You can only tell people the sky isn’t blue so many times.”
“This election is going to be an election on crime. When people say ‘I don’t know if Spencer Pratt has a path forward, this is a Democrat run city,’ here is Spencer Pratt’s path forward!”
“The ballot is non partisan - people are not going to see an R or D next to his name. People feel that crime has gotten out of control here and I think you will see Democrat suburban elites quietly flip for Pratt and be the silent majority vote that says ‘I have had enough of crime in L.A.’”
Trace: “This is how a liberal newspaper frames their stories. Crime in L.A. is a problem.”
Last night, I made a simple request on X. I asked if anybody visiting Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day would stop by Alan’s grave and leave a photo for our family.
What happened next honestly caught me off guard.
By this afternoon, dozens of Americans from all walks of life had made the walk to Section 60 to visit SSG Alan W. Shaw. Veterans. Families. Complete strangers. People who had never met Alan, but chose to honor him anyway.
For one day on social media, people put aside the constant noise and negativity and came together for something bigger than themselves. My notifications filled with photos, kind messages, prayers, and stories from people honoring not just Alan, but so many of our fallen heroes.
I don’t think people fully understand what moments like this mean to Gold Star families. The fear is never just losing them. It’s losing them slowly over time as the world moves on and fewer people remember their name.
But today showed me that Alan will never be forgotten.
After years of watching social media reward some of the worst parts of humanity, today gave me a reminder that the good is still out there too.
Thank you to every single person who stopped by to visit Alan today, said his name, shared his story, or took a moment to honor the fallen.
This right here is the America Alan knew and loved enough to fight and die for.
And today, y’all showed us all that it’s still here and it’s still worth fighting for. 🇺🇸
Today we honor those who gave their last full measure for our nation. Today is also a day to pray for a lasting peace.
We honor our fallen by vowing to never send young men & women off to war unless it is vital to our nation’s security.
Speak the names of our heros & tell their stories.
We do not honor our fallen by getting more of our best men & women killed in the Middle East.
We honor our fallen by learning from our past & only shedding American blood in defense of our nation.
The best time to get out of a war of choice is now, before we lose more lives.
It’s humbling to wake up on Memorial Day as an American and know that strangers you never met, who didn’t care who you voted for, or know anything about you willingly gave their precious lives for yours. I hope I live a life that’s worthy of that inheritance. Thank you to every soldier who has ever worn the uniform of the U.S. military. I’m especially thinking today of the families of our 13 U.S. Service Members killed in the Iran War who will be spending their first Memorial Day without their loved ones.
I think it’s really important we acknowledge our dead in this war. That’s the meaning of this day. We do have 13 American families who are spending their first Memorial Day without their loved ones, and frankly it’s American to lift up the families of your dead service members when you are a nation at war. I will not shy away from acknowledging their deaths on Memorial Day. It’s not political. It’s American.
Tomorrow, on Memorial Day, I’m releasing a special segment with Ron White. From memory alone, Ron recalls every name, by rank, in order, of every U.S. service member killed in the Afghanistan war, from the very first casualty all the way to the final 13. Over two hours straight.
In the full episode (dropping Tuesday), Ron walks through exactly how he did it, including using the studio itself to visually anchor the names of the final 13 to objects around the room.
His closing message is one we should all carry with us. May we never forget their sacrifice.
The DSA brand is very good at talking like it represents working people. But it is actually rooted in the activist class, college-educated progressives, and people who want to cosplay economic populism.
President Trump has a more pragmatic view of China than other Republicans. As a negotiator, he doesn’t see nations as purely allies or adversaries. Everyone acts in their own self-interest, and deals happen when interests align. Smart way to lead in politics, business, & life.
Spencer Pratt: I will clean up homeless encampments, address drug addicts, & prevent fires from burning down people's homes.
Karen Bass: I will spend your money on teeth for meth addicts.
Nithya Raman: I will ban grilling burgers in the backyard.
Your choice, Los Angeles.
Xi’s message at the US-China summit was simple: stay out of Taiwan. That’s not diplomacy. It’s a threat.
Taiwan is what Xi cares about most — more than tariffs, markets, or any deal.
The Chinese Communist Party doesn’t get to dictate American foreign policy.
I remember when Melania Trump wore a pith helmet and Teen Vogue melted down saying she was wearing a “relic of colonialism” and “symbol of oppression.” Now, Alix Earle is wearing one on the cover of Sports Illustrated 2026 and no one says anything. Woke was always a fake double standard, and I’m glad it’s dead. Keep it that way.
