The networks haven't yet agreed to carry Trump's speech tonight, which means it's a "no." AOC told them not to cover it and they obeyed her orders.

LA spent $60 million on a "housing program" for bums... that $60 million bought three units, total.

This is the woman who "beat" Spencer Pratt to get into the runoff for mayor.

Just three out of a promised 2,000 apartments have been used to relocate the homeless in Nithya Raman's failed $60 million project to get people off the streets.

Councilmember Raman, the chair of the Los Angeles City Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee, introduced the Time Limited Subsidy program back in September as a cheaper alternative to Mayor Karen Bass' Inside Safe Program -- meant to get homeless people into an established residence.

Raman's plan was to lease and move homeless people into 2,000 apartments and subsidize their rent, rather than pay for them to stay in motels or shelters.

However, nearly a year after that plan was launched -- with $62.6 million in taxpayer funds behind it -- only three apartments are occupied.

The City Council first approved investing in the subsidy model last September as part of its strategy for complying with a court settlement with the Los Angeles Alliance for Human Rights.

Four months later, on January 28, the council approved resources for a redesigned program targeting 2,000 households.

The full rollout began March 1.

However, only three units had occupants by June 25, according to a July 1 presentation to Raman's powerful homeless committee -- a damning result for a program Raman has campaigned to take citywide if elected Mayor.

Fetterman: I'll quit the Democrat Party if it becomes, "officially," the anti-Israel party.

Well, for one thing, it already is the anti-Israel party. There was no official declaration but everyone understands it is now the Hamas Party. Even Rahm Emmanuel, who is Jewish, but running for president in a pro-Hamas party, announced that it's time for the US to stop funding Israel.

So Fetterman is okay with all of this, as long as they give him plausible deniability and not make it "official."

And more importantly: While I appreciate the support for Israel, there's another country the Democrats are trying to destroy that I support even more. That country is the United States of America. No problem with that, huh?

Who says The Today Show doesn't know how to party?

An unhinged heckler slipped past security at NBC's "Today" show early Thursday, lunging at host Craig Melvin and hurling a racial slur as he stormed the set, according to cops and sources.

The scary scene played out around 9 a.m. when the 41-year-old intruder barged into an unauthorized area in a vestibule near Studio 1A at the Rockefeller Plaza studio.

He demanded face time with Al Roker and got close enough to confront Melvin, calling him the N-word, according to sources.

Some bonus Cultural Enrichment for you: the Canadian whore who slapped the child for wearing pro-Trump sweatpants is in the US illegally on a visa overstay.

Her husband, who should be deported with this c***, celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Millionaires are fleeing NYC, taking $11 billion dollars of taxable income with them.

Lacks the rich.

New York's share of US millionaires dramatically declined in recent years, causing a nearly $11 billion loss in much-needed tax revenue in just one year, according to a bombshell new analysis.

The study released Monday by the Citizen Budget Commisison comes amid fears that socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani's push to "tax the rich" will drive even more wealthy taxpayers and their businesses out of New York City.

Even before Mamdani took office, the Empire State's share of the nation's millionaires dipped from 12.7% to 8.7% between 2010 and 2022 -- the largest decline of any state, according to the CBC's Competitive NYS: Value Proposition Tracker dashboard.

"New York's declining share of high-income taxpayers has meaningful consequences," the analysis states.

There's video of " " Elliot " " Page as "the greatest soldier I have ever known," but Warner Bros. keeps copyright-claiming it so that people can't see how ridiculous it is.

This is the clip. It will probably be zapped within minutes. Don't @ me.

Why does it look like shit? People have complained that the movie is all gray and brown.

The movie is projected to make $200 million world wide this weekend. They used to predict North America box office, but they want a bigger number, so now they talk about global takings.

The movie will make money in its first two weeks. But super hero movies and Christopher Nolan movies are very front-loaded -- the fans want to see the movie early before spoilers leak, and plus this movie was shot entirely in IMAX, and it will only have IMAX screens for two weeks (until Spider-Man comes out on July 31).

Will the movie have legs past then? I don't think so. It sounds like boring, woke homework about DEI Sailing with two good special effects (the cyclops attack and Circe turning Odysseus's men into swine).

This is going to shock you, but a National Review "writer" is, get this, taking the opportunity to defend liberals and dunk on irrational, uneducated conservatives:

Giancarlo Sopo @GiancarloSopo

These accounts exist to lobotomize the American right.

A right that cannot recognize its values in a serious adaptation of Homer, and torches it over a casting sheet, has forfeited the culture it claims to defend.

Conservatives should ignore them. Let them lose on their own.

Giancarlo Sopo @GiancarloSopo

You don't know that though.

Casting choices are made for a ton of reasons -- artistic and commercial.

Nolan is not a particularly ideological or subversive filmmaker. His filmography is clear on that.

Also, what's the proof that he used a "wokified translation"? He said he read Watson's along with others.

And if casting an Oscar-winning actress in a minor role is "controversial" because she's black, well, it says more about the people who find it controversial than it does about him.

Nolan named the "woke" translation as the first of the translations he consulted. And the African "Helen of Troy" confirms that the movie has rewritten the Odyssey to be more female-centric, which was the whole point of the woke feminist translation.

Update: Never change, National Review.

How about the value of justice?
How about not stealing what belongs to somebody else?
The Odyssey story belongs to the Greeks.
Nolan should've thought of that before he did his casting.

Giancarlo Sopo @GiancarloSopo

The Odyssey is a universal story.

I look forward to the "universal story" version of Shaka Zulu.

Update: Oh my -- is this really "Helen of Troy" from the movie?

Stronk and Empowered.

DEI employee is obsessed with race and tries to stir up a racial incident because... white people are peacefully hiking and there aren't enough black people here.
