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.

Governor DeSantis and Governor Pritzker each just signed their 8th state budgets. The contrast couldn't be starker. And the lesson is that who you elect matters. Change out the politicians and you get different policies.
For reference, Florida is 1.8x more populous than IL, 23.37m people compared to 12.71m people. Now consider these points:
1. FL general revenue budget is $52B, IL is $56B. Because state's have different ways of budgeting, lookimg at the total FY27 budgets, FL =$117B, IL=$130B. This doesn't make sense.
2. Pritzker advocated for and signed the largest budget in state history this year and in previous years. DeSantis has lowered the amount spent every year for the last four years and vetoed over $10B in spending during his time in office. Pritzker's budget is up $16B since he took office.
3. Pritzker brags about his credit upgrades, but IL has the worst state credit rating, FL has the best credit rating.
4. FL has a rainy day fund of $18B. IL rainy day fund is $2B.
5. FL is pushing $78B in road programs and moving planned projects ahead 5-15 years. IL can't even get projects planned, permitted and built in a timely manner, so many projects are left undone and money sits in an account collecting interest. And now that surplus interest is being sent to the CTA to bail them out.
6. DeSantis has given back over $9B in taxes. Pritzker has raised taxes every year for a total of over $77B according to IPI.
9. FL is giving $5,000 signing bonuses for police officers. IL politicians want to defund the police.
10. FL is on the cusp of eliminating property taxes for 60% of home owners and they have no state income tax. IL has the highest property taxes, plus individial income and estate taxes, high corporate taxes, and there's been no attempt to meaningfully lower property taxes.
Yes, elections have consequences. But, it can all ve reversed. DeSantis barely got elected 8 years ago. Your vote matters.

🤯 MAMDANI INVESTOR EXODUS: Even billionaires have a breaking point!

Zohran Mamdani just froze rents on over a million apartments in New York City. Investor Sergey Brin just responded by walking out the door!

The world's third-richest man dumped his entire stake in a NYC rent-stabilized apartment fund for six cents on the dollar. Not a typo. Six cents.

That is what Mamdani's socialist utopia looks like in practice. A $268 billion man taking a bath just to get as far away from New York City housing policy as humanly possible.

And Brin is not alone. The fund he fled is sitting on $84 million in unpaid rent and facing foreclosure on a half-billion dollar loan. The University of California already wrote down its own $115 million investment by 50%.

Meanwhile Brin took his pennies and quietly bought a $51 million waterfront estate in Miami.

That is the market giving Mamdani a one-finger salute on the way out of town.

An A&E Real Estate spokesperson put it plainly: "Institutional capital - both equity investors and lenders - are fleeing New York City's rent-stabilized apartment sector. They understand New York is in a doom loop."

A doom loop. Built by design. Celebrated as compassion.

Margaret Thatcher said it best: "The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."

New York is not running out. It is chasing the money out. There is a difference, and it is worse.

When the capital is gone, the maintenance stops. When the maintenance stops, the buildings rot. And the same tenants Mamdani claims to be protecting will be the ones living in the wreckage.

This is not a rent freeze. It is a slow-motion demolition of the housing stock, dressed up in the language of justice.

Congratulations, New York. You got the mayor you voted for.

In 1960, newly independent African leaders had a choice: capitalism or socialism.

Almost all of them picked socialism.

A Ghanaian economist named George Ayittey spent forty years documenting what happened next.

His findings are in print, and almost nobody outside Africa wants to hear them. 🧵

Former AP journalist Matti Friedman admits that they had no choice but to be complicit with Hamas, and NOT admit that many of their dead were in civilian clothes.

I’m certain that ALL networks had no choice but to do this for fear of Hamas in Gaza.
