Karen Bassās week just got a lot worse. Thank you @peta for calling at @MayorOfLA and @GavinNewsom for their inactions on Skid Row (today in the @latimes). You might also see some pictures popping up all over LAā¦.
āFrom every text in Scripture there is a road to the metropolis of the Scriptures, that is Christ. Your business is, when you get to a text, to say, āNow, what is the road to Christ?ā - C.H. Spurgeon
I need everyone to share this, please. This is Diana. She is only 16, and the Islamic regime of Iran wants to execute her for protesting for freedom. Be her voice. Help make this go viral. She deserves to live.

This speech from Zohran Mamdani on Americaās 250th changed my politics.
Iāve never seen a more pompous individual whose life has been void of any sacrifice or hard work confidently lecture as if people like him hold the key to human prosperity.
Hereās a guy who had never held a job until he found the angle to satisfy his thirst for attention through politics at age 30, sit behind George Washingtonās desk and give us a lecture on what is supposed to be a day of celebration.
Instead of celebrating what this country built, prosperity and human rights that spread across the globe from basically nothing, he turns the moment into a lecture about how America is this flawed project desperately in need of topdown change from useless academics and politicians whoāve never built anything of value for anybody.
As I get older, I have started wrestling with my own ridiculous and undeserved comforts, and the massive sacrifices of generations that made them possible. We should be expressing sheer gratitude for the families who crossed this country in covered wagons chasing a future, for the young men who died in muddy fields and frozen trenches defending it. At some point we let the children forget about this, and it's going to be a tragedy.
Our ancestors didnāt sacrifice so we could sit around demanding more redistribution while building nothing of value ourselves and living in opulence kings couldn't have dreamed of. They built something exceptional through risk, and relentless work.
Watching someone like Mamdani use the 250th as an opportunity to lecture us about whatās wrong with America, it just flips a switch for me. Iām done with the ingratitude.
We need to defend America from those that leech off it's greatness and attempt to redefine it.
Sooooo, youāre saying there are a group of candidates who cannot win without people who canāt prove their identity voting in our elections?
Whoops.
The guy who canāt even build 1 foot of train tracks with $120 Bn and 7 years in office is trying to take shots at the guy who is landing rocket ships backwards and catching them in midair with chopsticks?
Ok, bro.
Iām 70 years old. My father was US Air Force. So was I. Weāve been fighting our nations wars for 60 years.
Mamdani immigrated here and became a legal US citizen in 2018.
How dare a communist Ugandan lecture ME on what it means to be an American! He has no clue and heās destroying NYC. Heās trying to destroy America.
My pissed off meter just maxed. Circuit breakers are popping,
Eff off, @NYCMayor. Youāre in way over your head āAmerican.ā
