Trump's Ennui

Plus: California's races, how not to blow an inheritance, life extension hits the wall, and more...

Benjamin Netanyahu listened, kinda sorta: The Israeli military has stopped striking Beirut, seemingly buckling under pressure from President Donald Trump and others to deescalate lest a regional ceasefire be threatened. (Iran will not make a deal if Israel continues to strike allies.) Still, Israel's prime minister has decided to maintain the military offensive against Hezbollah in the south of Lebanon, issuing new evacuation orders Tuesday for Nabatieh, one of the region's largest cities, indicating that more strikes will follow.

"Trump later said on social media that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to stop their attacks on each other," reports The New York Times, "while the Lebanese government—which does not include or control Hezbollah—said a new truce was taking shape."

"I spoke with President Trump tonight," said Netanyahu yesterday, "and told him that if Hezbollah doesn't cease its attacks on our cities and civilians—Israel will strike terror targets in Beirut. This position of ours remains." Everything looks very tenuous right now, and so naturally Trump is…losing interest!

As for Iran: "I don't care if they're over, honestly," said Trump, referring to peace talks with Iran. "I really don't care. I couldn't care less," Trump told CNBC on Monday, saying the negotiations "started to get very boring." (Reminds me of his wife's iconic jacket that she wore to a…migrant detention center.)

"Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us," wrote Trump on Truth Social yesterday. "But don't the Dumocrats, and various seemingly unpatriotic Republicans, understand that it is MUCH tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate, when political hacks keep negatively 'chirping,' at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster, or move slower, or go to war, or not go to war, or whatever. Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end - It always does!"

The White House is trying to make this a catchphrase:

TRUST IN TRUMP.

Nothing about the history of the Middle East lends credence to the idea that "it will all work out well in the end" but I'm glad Trump feels he can ~manifest~ his way into peace. He sounds like a Cali mystic with a dream catcher and some tarot cards and a low price for palm readings if you'll just come down into her basement. Speaking of…

Replacing Gavin Newsom: California's primary for governor takes place today, with voters heading to their local polling places to cast their vote for who would be least bad (or best, if you're less cynical). The top two vote-getters, regardless of party, will advance, but it's not totally clear who is going to proceed: Possibly Tom Steyer—the billionaire Democrat who is running to the left of the rest of the field and wants to tax his buddies—or Xavier Becerra, who formerly served as California's attorney general and helmed the Department of Health and Human Services during the Biden administration.

Steyer's never held political office before, whereas Becerra is an insider who's been preparing for primetime; it'll be interesting to see whether voters want experience in their governor. Ditto with the Los Angeles mayoral race, which also gets decided today: reality TV star (and intense critic of L.A.'s leadership following the terrible Palisades fire last year) Spencer Pratt goes up against incumbent Karen Bass and City Councilmember Nithya Raman. It looks fairly tight.

• As a Texan, I've been following James Talarico vs. Ken Paxton pretty closely and am left wanting both of them to lose the Senate race. This New York Times piece on Talarico's church is, uh, instructive as to what type of Christianity he practices (not a type that bears much resemblance to mine), and Paxton's name-calling ("low-T Talarico" and "tofu Talarico," along with "Six-Gender Jimmy") is kind of pathetic, plus I didn't really love much of what Paxton did as attorney general.
• How to not blow an inheritance, by The Wall Street Journal.
• "Nvidia Corp. is entering the PC market with a new chip aimed at loosening the stranglehold of Intel Corp. technology in that arena and modernizing the machines for the AI era," reports Bloomberg. This is huge.
• "When Annual Mammogram Day came around, I was four weeks into what I called my AI year, weaving artificial intelligence into every corner of my existence. Not just at work—writing emails, doing research, testing AI vending machines. I'm talking 24-7 AI livin'. Robots helping around the house, on the roads, on the massage table, at the dinner table. If there was a decision to make or a task to do, I wanted to see what happened when I let AI go first. I tried to make AI my everything. Even when it came to my health decisions," writes Joanna Stern at The Wall Street Journal. "Two factors make my breasts particularly challenging for radiologists. They're structurally dense, meaning they contain more glandular and fibrous tissue than fat. Dense breast tissue appears white on a mammogram, the same color as tumors, making it more difficult to detect abnormalities. The second complicating factor: My mom is a three-time breast cancer survivor, which puts my risk higher than the average woman's. Based on our family history—including two first cousins who've been through it—I have a 39% chance of developing the disease in my lifetime." Read on for Stern's thoughts on how AI is going to—and is already—changing the breast cancer detection game.
• Really good insight on how we're getting better at reducing death before 80, but not better at life extension, per se:

I think we're on the verge of a golden age in cardio-metabolic health (thanks GLP1s!) and oncology (CAR-T, daraxonrasib, checkpoint inhibitors).

But let's be real about what average lifespans in the 100s would require.

Trump's Ennui

Trump wept, for there were no more fixtures to gold plate.

[Medulla Oblongata]

"Ok, then just pay me the $10B..."

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-s-weaponization-fund-put-on-hold-after-fierce-opposition-from-congress/ar-AA24D1fI

The Republican rebellion was an extraordinary act of defiance given Trump's insistence on loyalty and his threats to back primary candidates against those who do not toe the line.

The fund emerged from a legal settlement between Trump and the Justice Department to resolve an unprecedented $10 ‌billion lawsuit against the IRS over the alleged mishandling of his tax records. The $1.776 billion was meant to pay people who said they had been the subject of government abuse.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

Whats funny is reason will see this as a victory and not judicial corruption.

There are multiple times that lawsuits against obamas sue and settle were opened, even by states affected significantly by the settlement. Judges constantly dropped these suits for standing. Yet 2 different judges refused and blocked the funds without even mentioning no standing.

So reason will cheer this and continue to ignore the 10s of millions given to antifa and leftist groups who have reached settlements.

The goal is 2 tiers if justice. Process as punishment only for conservatives, make it worth their time for leftist groups.

At Meta, 90% of my coworkers were Chinese, and non-Chinese were routinely excluded, disadvantaged, and targeted for layoffs. 6 out of the 7 layoffs I observed targeted non-Chinese despite non-Chinese being the vast minority. Certain orgs like ads and MRS are notorious for being Chinese dominated. I think Americans would be outraged if they knew that their own citizens were getting marginalized and laid off at their own companies, while Chinese promote themselves up, conquer entire orgs, and reap millions.

Imagine if Huawei in Shenzhen had entire orgs and leadership chains completely dominated by Japanese people who brazenly spoke Japanese at work without a care in the world that their Chinese coworkers don't understand, imposed their own work culture without respecting Chinese culture, excluded the Chinese, and laid off Chinese people while promoting their own. I imagine Chinese citizens would be outraged, and never allow that to happen in the first place.

New revenue sources: Taxes target social media, digital assets, fantasy sports, and more, while a gas tax hike is delayed until January.

https://x.com/Nigel_Farage/status/2060686869818388722

@Nigel_Farage
The rape gangs scandal is the greatest state failure in British history.

Public bodies and politicians aided and abetted the mass rape and sexual exploitation of children. Predominantly white working-class girls were brutalised by criminal gangs who were (and still are) disproportionately men of Pakistani nationality or heritage.

Inquiries and words are not enough. State-enabled child sexual exploitation continues to this day, including in Wigan and Makerfield.

For decades, politicians like Andy Burnham, local authorities, the police and the media engaged in a conspiracy of silence - institutional avoidance in the name of political correctness.

It is time for action.

A Reform government will redress the harms caused by public servants in so many Labour-run local authorities. Within our first 100 days, we will:

- Release all files held by public bodies relating to the grooming gangs, going back 40 years.

- Increase police and National Crime Agency taskforce funding by £300m, taking it to £400m, so they can adequately investigate the perpetrators and the complicit police officers, social workers and politicians who enabled them. They will be given every resource they require.

This is our plan to finally deliver justice for our girls.

Democratic lawmakers and liberal media outlets alike have responded to the Republican Party's gains with Latino voters by attacking Hispanic Republicans. Flores's opponent in November, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D., Texas), argued in June that he is more qualified than Flores because he "wasn't born in Mexico." Weeks later, Arizona representative Rubén Gallego (D.) said a female Hispanic Republican running for Congress in the state was not sufficiently Latina because she took her husband's last name.

The New York Times, meanwhile, said Flores's win marked the "Rise of the Far-Right Latina," citing the Republican's support for religiosity, strong borders, and traditional values. A Texas political blog that has received campaign funds from Gonzalez also attacked Flores last month, referring to the congresswoman as "Miss Frijoles," "Miss Enchiladas," and a "cotton pickin' liar."

"Who does this Mayra Flores think she is? Somebody said she was crowned Miss Frijoles 2022 in San Benito," Texas political blogger Jerry McHale, who has received $1,200 from Gonzalez's campaign, wrote on July 2. "She isn't in congressman Vicente Gonzalez's league. She isn't even in the bush leagues unless she doesn't shave her p**sy."

An Atlanta woman died Saturday following a fatal stabbing on a MARTA train at the Oakland City Station.

Authorities arrested 25-year-old John Elijah Matthews immediately near the scene of the violent attack. [mug shot included]

At 11:21 on Saturday, the CCTV reportedly showed Swan sitting alone on the train car. Just before 11:25, Matthews is seen on board, walking to the side of the train where Swan was sitting, standing near her alone.

Matthews, 19 seconds later, "is seen walking up to (Swan) and standing just to her right."

Several seconds later, he allegedly took out a knife, opened it and cut the victim in the throat. 11Alive reported that Swan was stabbed 18 to 20 times in an unprovoked attack.

During the attack, the warrant said, the victim was screaming for help as she was continuing to get stabbed. The suspect was then seen on the CCTV cameras "throwing [Swan] to the floor and standing near her until the train arrived at the Oakland City Station," less than two minutes later, according to the warrant.

When the train arrived at Oakland City, according to the warrant, Matthews got out with a knife still in hand as officers rushed to the scene. Matthews was arrested and charged shortly after.

You've probably heard of the guy who was stabbed, by a migrant, said migrant then accused him of racism when the cops arrived, so the cops handcuffed the man and het bled to death while they apologized to the migrant.

This essay is quite the response. Again, I think there's no saving the UK.

https://www.spiked-online.com/2026/06/02/the-woke-lynching-of-henry-nowak/

For me, the most chilling thing in the bodycam footage of Henry Nowak’s last moments of life is the cops’ cruel presumption that he is lying. As he writhes in terror and agony and cries out ‘I’ve been stabbed!’, a voice in the background – presumably that of the lowlife who murdered him, Vickrum Digwa – says: ‘He hasn’t been stabbed.’ A female officer responds. ‘I know’, she says. ‘But we have to check, don’t we?’

I know. It is delivered with dry, bureaucratic indifference. Henry is heard moaning, begging, ‘I can’t breathe’, yet here is a representative of the state seeming to agree with his knife-wielding tormentor that he is making it up. That cold, cavalier utterance – I know – will have cemented dying Henry’s great dread: that the police were taking the side of his killer rather than him. As his young, precious life came to an end, he heard himself being disbelieved, distrusted, icily written off as a fabulist. His murderer, meanwhile, was afforded respect. The state blindly bowed to his filthy lies.

The bodycam footage of the arrest of 18-year-old Henry Nowak after he was stabbed in Southampton in December last year is horrifying beyond belief. It is one of the most harrowing two minutes of video I have ever watched. Henry can be seen sprawled in agony in a stranger’s driveway, the place he sought sanctuary after being knifed four times by Digwa. His failing voice is thick with pain and fear. What he wanted in that moment – what he needed – was to be believed. The belief of others was the only thing that might have delivered him from his terror-stricken state. But it never came. He said ‘I can’t breathe’ nine times. He said ‘I’ve been stabbed’ four times. ‘I don’t think you have, mate’, said an officer with chirpy, inhumane derision.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

If they didn't have the body cam footage and family recorded covering it up, this story would be presented much differently.

[Mike Parsons]

They would have absolutely labeled this as "racist attack results in stabbing" from the cowards at the BBC. The only reason they didnt is bc we have footage.

Gee, Reason is not interested. That body cam is fucking heart-breaking. The cops did not give the slightest iota of a shit. The Left is going to eventually get what it wants:

Whites will eventually view themselves as a voting bloc. No option remains to avoid it. Nothing good comes from this.

[Medulla Oblongata]

Seen on FB:

Hi OP, straight up cracker here from the most crackery part of the US. The reason white racism is increasing is because this generation of young white men were raised to be the least racist generation of whites to ever exist in the history of this planet. We grew up being taught that racism was bad, that we were ALL going to move past it and work together towards a better future. Even here in the most traditionally racist part of the country, nearly every young white boy in my generation grew up watching black athletes, black actors, listening to black musicians, etc. It was all normal. We were 95% post-racial. So as we got older, we stuck our hands out in friendship to EVERYONE, like we'd been taught to... and then every nonwhite group on the planet came by and sucker-punched us from behind, called us evil white devils, and told us we deserved to die. We were ready and willing to move on from the past, the rest of you weren't. Instead of shaking our hands and marching off together, you chose revenge against the only white people who've ever let their guard down. So now you's cant be our friends, and we're reforging the identity we were taught to shed.

[damikesc]

The Brits need to realize their government's only apparent goal is to destroy England and the English. Nothing else.

[Mike Parsons]

I felt exactly this way growing up, and it infuriated me. Now that I have kids, its much worse.

People are finally starting to stop being cucks and call it out for what it is: We have systemic racism...its against whites. Thats what DEI, affirmative action, and CRT have brought us. Its a one way valve. Anyone can be racist to whites and its fine, but if a white person looks at a black person funny they are in for it, and deserve whatever happens to them.

This is not sustainable.

[EISTAU Gree-Vance]

I would say the self loathing woke white progs are just as responsible for those “sucker punches from behind” since they absolutely do NOT want us all to “just get along.” That would be their worst nightmare. And yeah, I do think we were getting there, as this post mentions. Not anymore.

So yeah, it’s on, I guess, but those woke assholes are at the top of my “you’s can’t be our friends” list.

[Mike Parsons]

"Whites will eventually view themselves as a voting bloc. No option remains to avoid it. "

Unfortunately, not right now. Its not possible because nearly half of white people are still in the systemic racism is everywhere, self hating whites, who also want to benefit from the "obama coalition" by bending over backwards for minorities so they, plus said minorities, can win over the evil bad whites (Republicans).

They are in this deal for power. And from the looks of the west overall, especially in Britain, they are happy to stand by while they are stabbed and raped by foreigners, in the name of equity.

That has to end before we can move on

Spiked 2-fer, aka is JFree irish?

https://www.spiked-online.com/2026/06/01/israelophobia-is-rotting-irelands-soul/

Israelophobia is rotting Ireland’s soul. The Irish establishment’s frothing animus for the Jewish state is an embarrassment to us Irish who refuse to convert to the cult of Israel-hate. It is disproportionate, hysterical, and so obviously driven by bigotry, meaning these people will go mental over a sports fixture against the Jewish nation but say nada about a sports fixture against an Islamist nation ruled by violent men who treat women like cattle. Let Ireland be a lesson – when you drink too heartily from the Kool-Aid of Israelophobia, you lose your reason and decency. You become so consumed by hatred for a tiny foreign state that you let your own state go to moral rack and ruin.

Defamations against Israel fall from the mouth of every influencer here. Even a sports presenter, following the game with Qatar, could casually say on air that Israel is waging a ‘genocidal campaign’ in Gaza. Nothing to say about Qatar? The team we just played? Which funded the army of anti-Semites that killed more Jews in one day than anyone else has since the Nazis? Of course not. Israel is the all-consuming devil that stalks the fever dreams of Ireland’s pious. It is a substitute Satan in a post-Catholic land. You can’t even watch the footie here without being subjected to self-righteous homilies about the uniquely wicked nature of this far-off nation. It is relentless. It is exhausting.

You know, I'm growing concerned about Netanyahu's basic competence. You'd think pretty much anyone carrying out a genocide from a position of overwhelming military advantage could manage to make the population seriously decline after several years of effort. And yet, somehow, Israel's multi-year campaign of genocide has utterly failed. Do you realize the Gazan population was under 1 million when Netanyahu became the youngest prime minister in Israeli history in 1996, was a bit under 1.5 million when he returned to office in 2009, and now, when he's only forty-two days from becoming the oldest prime minister in Israeli history, it's somewhere over 2 million? What the hell has he been doing?

I mean, really, it's like the Israelis aren't even trying to carry out a genocide in Gaza.

The Woke Lynching of Henry Nowak - Spiked

"The bodycam footage of the arrest of 18-year-old Henry Nowak after he was stabbed in Southampton in December last year is horrifying beyond belief. It is one of the most harrowing two minutes of video I have ever watched. Henry can be seen sprawled in agony in a stranger’s driveway, the place he sought sanctuary after being knifed four times by Digwa. His failing voice is thick with pain and fear. What he wanted in that moment – what he needed – was to be believed. The belief of others was the only thing that might have delivered him from his terror-stricken state. But it never came. He said ‘I can’t breathe’ nine times. He said ‘I’ve been stabbed’ four times. ‘I don’t think you have, mate’, said an officer with chirpy, inhumane derision."

[Mike Parsons]

Britain is lost.

Muslim guy stabs him with a ceremonial Sikh knife. By the way, brits aren't allowed to carry such a knife, but Sikhs are bc its 'part of their culture', wouldnt want to be racist.

Cops show up, he says "no one stabbed him, he was being racist towards me". Cops cuff the white stabbing victim as he lay begging on the ground for medical help. Wouldnt want to be racist.

2-tier Kier said "its just a shame we have a knife crime problem".

They are so fucking done over there.

[Zeb]

So, was the Muslim guy pretending to be a Sikh?

[SCOTUS gave JeffSarc a big sad]

Probably the other way around.

[Mike Parsons]

I had read elsewhere that he was Muslim but was using the Sikh loophole to carry it (whether pretending or otherwise). Apparently he's an actual Sikh

[SCOTUS gave JeffSarc a big sad]

Hilarious. I wonder how much prison time they’ll get for this? Whatever the answer is, it won’t be enough.maybe his Muslim buddies double dared him, and he didn’t want to appear chicken. Especially after a few of them made clucking sounds at him when he hesitated.

[Spiritus Mundi]

Diversity is our strength.

[SCOTUS gave JeffSarc a big sad]

Ruthlessness is our strength, and something that had better be employed very soon.

[damikesc]

That it took so damned long for them to even check Nowak's condition. I hope Tommy Robinson sets up a mass of riots to burn the UK down. This would be justified.

[mad.casual]

not a type that bears much resemblance to mine

Because it's not Christianity. It's Marxist divisiveness and cultural subversion and obliteration wearing Christianity as a skin:
Mr. Rigby does not use male pronouns for God, for example, because it is a kind of “violence” to imply to a girl that her brother is more like God than she is, he said in an interview after the service.

It is not 'a kind of "violence"' and it doesn't imply what Mr. Rigby says it implies. It's a co-opting of the word and even the English and ancient languages to send Mr. Rigby's message. That's literally what "imply" means.

[Mike Parsons]

"Because it's not Christianity. It's Marxist divisiveness and cultural subversion and obliteration wearing Christianity as a skin:"

Yup. Its the same thing the marxists do with basically every piece of culture, academia, entertainment. Its a retcon where they find a reason for "actually X thing really supported my current marxist progressive worldview".

In a similar to AOC's retconning of "actually basically every good thing that ever happened in the country was from black and brown people". Its just retconning current day progressive politics into history to push an agenda.

Its soviet style propaganda

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

One of the leftist politicians in France is out this week claiming France gas never been white nor Christian. That the myth of white Christian France is a right wing lie.

Just unbelievable retardation and corruption.

[mad.casual]

I was just thinking this about Chris Nolan's The Odyssey the other day.

Black Helen but no actual Greeks. For all the "contemporary sensibilities" and "historical accuracy", Nolan, apparently, couldn't even find a no-shit Black Greek to play Helen? So is he avoiding telling an inexplicable/epic story about how all the black people in Greece were driven out, left, or just turned white or is he just full of shit?

Even Homer references Andromeda and her relatives in the Pantheon as Sub-S. African/Ethiopian, as distinct from the other Greek Gods but, apparently, Nolan couldn't be bothered to weave the actual cultural diversity together even remotely accurately.

Even within it's own confines, it's a shitty, nonsensical "Hitler started WWII when he bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 11, 1941."

It's not intelligent. It's not honest. It's not even some "We did the best we could with what we had. The story had to be told." virtuous lie. It's just fucking things up and breaking shit because you don't like it.

[Dillinger]

>>apparently, Nolan couldn't be bothered to weave the actual cultural diversity together even remotely accurately

course not his audience is retards who don't care.

[Mike Parsons]

There are also 100's of hot actresses that are of some other ethnicity but look greek passing, though the stories do specifically describe her as fair skin, white arms, light/blonde hair. So it was pretty blatant she was most likely one of them blonde hair blue eyed greeks rather than the more italian or middle east looking greeks.

But he wasn't going for making it passable or close enough to not bother anyone, he wanted this reaction. Whether he wanted to see if "damnit im Chris Nolan and I can do anything even making Helen sub sarahan african and get away with it", whether he just wanted the buzz, or that he was just intent on packing this thing with every recent working name in the business and thought could make a splash while doing this.

Im sure he had the obvious thought of Margot Robbie and then thought that would be boring.

But this really is in the same egregious hollywood vein of the slap in the face fuck you im the captain now attitude of race swaps. You know Severus Snape, the professor who Rowling specifically took the time to describe his sallow white, fair skin and specific nose? Ya, lets get a model who is black as fuck and looks opposite of how he was described in every way.

[damikesc]

Weird how cultural appropriation is such a...unpredictable problem.

[damikesc]

Also nice to see the actress playing Helen --- who was adamant we be respectful to the culture of fucking Wakanda and takes African culture super seriously --- has no problem shitting over Western culture.

[Medulla Oblongata]

One sports board I spend time on has a shorthand phrase "Germans", which means "This has probably been discussed more than once" or "This may be old news to everyone".

The etymology goes something like...someone used the Animal House line "Was it over when the Germans bombed pearl Harbor?"
Of course, somebody oblivious of the joke corrected him... They always do...every time, and repeatedly. And pretty much every single time the joke was repeated for whatever reason, that process was repeated. In fact it got repeated so many times that instead of writing the whole sentence out people just started shortening it to "Germans".

[mad.casual]

Seriously, even my teens recognize this as peevishly retarded and counterproductive.

To wit:

The oldest documented person died 29 years ago. Jeanne Calment at 122yo. In 30 years, with all of the advances in medicine, NOBODY ELSE has even gotten to 120.

A life expectancy at birth of 110 years would require about 25% of women to live longer than Calment and about 6% of women to live past 150—three decades older than the record. (source: Olshansky et al).

[Patronizing Abominable Snowman Voice] So Derek Thompson is calling for violence against men saying they shouldn't live to 150? [/Patronizing Abominable Snowman Voice]

That's the implication you hear when you read scripture? That's the voice you're repeating when you preach? Even if not the voice, when you read "6% of women would need to live to 150" the important part of the message that you take away is "Men don't have to live to 150"? You aren't a moral, religious, or intellectual leader. You're a fucking moron with nothing to offer but pettiness, grudges, and infighting.

[Spiritus Mundi]

Reminds me of his wife's iconic jacket that she wore to a…migrant detention center. criminal alien repatriation hub.

FIFY

[Spiritus Mundi]

Paxton's name-calling ("low-T Talarico" and "tofu Talarico," along with "Six-Gender Jimmy")

Would not have peg Liz as the 'toxic masculinity is bad' type.

Also, all those characterizations are apt.

[mad.casual]

And not particularly malicious or harmful.

Not nearly as insanely malicious as the "Every time anyone in the English language says 'he', they're perpetrating 'a kind of violence' against women" that he observes *as religion*.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

Cmon man. Low T has an activist vegan girlfriend who loves dancing at gay clubs. Dude is jacked.

[But SkyNet is a Private Company]

Six-Gender Jimmy is apt and hilarious

[Eeyore]

I laughed at this one.

To quote Jimmy, "Modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes". Lol.

[Marshal]

I thought this one was funny too, it's original. It's also making fun of ideology rather than a medical condition.

Scenes from NYC:

From the New York Post:

Taxpayers are on the hook for $5.2 million to pay the swollen salaries of the information ministers in socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new City Hall propaganda bureau – a staggering 175% more than first thought, The Post can reveal.

It’s barely been open for business for a month, but the Office of Mass Engagement has already seen its headcount balloon 186% from 14 to 40, with $5,123,756 earmarked for salaries, according to the city’s recently released 2027 executive budget.

Even Democrats can’t stomach this one. Democratic political consultant Hank Sheinkopf was blunt: “This is purely politics at a time when real services are needed. We have real deficits and this mayor is spending five million dollars to put 40 political operatives on the payroll. It’s morally incomprehensible… It’s outrageous.”

He went further. “This isn’t for anybody’s benefit but the mayor’s.”

[Marshal]

Democratic political consultant Hank Sheinkopf was blunt:

The only thing wrong with his description of omitting that the prior 14 appointees were also political operatives so his criticisms are just as applicable to them.

[Dillinger]

>>He sounds like a Cali mystic with a dream catcher and some tarot cards and a low price for palm readings if you'll just come down into her basement.

okay, QB

[Dillinger]

>>As a Texan, I've been following James Talarico vs. Ken Paxton pretty closely and am left wanting both of them to lose the Senate race.

do you vote in Texas? they both can't lose and if name-calling hurts your feelz too fucking bad.

[Dillinger]

>>whereas Becerra is an insider who's been preparing for primetime

somebody missed that interview.

[Sevo, 5-30-24, embarrassment]

"How to not blow an inheritance, by The Wall Street Journal."

Don't waste time; pay-walled.

[Marshal]

Spencer Pratt goes up against incumbent Karen Bass and City Councilmember Nithya Raman. It looks fairly tight.

It's not tight in any way that matters. More than 50% of those polled support one of the two idiots. Either one will consolidate the idiot vote. Pratt needs to be >40% to have a chance.

[damikesc]

Which shows how utterly fucked LA is.

They are obsessed with credentials and not competency.

[damikesc]

"America First" clown Candace Owens and the loser brother of clown Tuq'r Carlson are now saying we should ally with Russia against the "globo-homo" movement.

Now, while I have no love lost with globo-homo and would have few problems allying with Russia (Are they worse than Spain at this point?) --- but you cannot whine that Trump is not focusing on Americ enough when you seem to want to fellate Putin.
