In 2021, the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom (D), decided it would be a good idea to shorten the sentences or simply release some 76,000 hardened criminals from the state’s prisons, sending them back into the streets of California as part of his prison … [Read more...] about ‘It’s Hard To Watch’: Former NYPD Detective Calls Out Leftist Politicians For Crime Surge | The Daily Wire

On Monday, the Trump administration announced that the U.S. would increase its pressure on Iran by cracking down on countries that import Iranian oil. Last year, the Trump administration provided sanction waivers to several countries that purchased oil from Iran. But on Monday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States would not renew the waivers after they expire on May 2. “Almost one year ago, after withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, President Trump implemented the strongest pressure campaign in history against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The goal remains simple: to deprive the outlaw regime of the funds it has used to destabilize the Middle East for four decades and incentivize Iran to behave like a normal country.” Pompeo pointed out that Iran’s economy depends on its oil, with 40% of the regime’s revenue coming from oil sales. “Our goal has been to get countries to cease importing Iranian oil entirely,” Pompeo said. “Last November, we granted exemptions … [Read more...] about Trump Administration Seeks To Stop All Countries From Buying Iranian Oil | The Daily Wire

The student government at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) passed legislation that will provide council members who are undocumented immigrants a financial stipend. UCLA’s Student Association Council unanimously passed a $23,000 fund called the “UndocuCouncil Member Stipend” on March 2, according to The College Fix . The stipend allows undocumented students, who cannot obtain legal work, to be financially compensated for their work on the student council. “The University of California’s payroll system cannot hire students without work authorization, undocumented students without Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status cannot receive stipends as wage,” The Daily Bruin reported. The Daily Bruin claims that the $23,000 stipend is equivalent to two council members’ yearly pay. The money comes from the student council’s so-called “surplus fund,” which is taken from student tax dollars. The stipend legislation came after the council’s External Vice … [Read more...] about UCLA Student Government Passes Stipend To Compensate Undocumented Students | The Daily Wire

I am probably a typical case. Never qualifying as a diehard NBA fan, I nonetheless enjoyed the sport and typically became more invested during the playoffs. I loved watching the NBA Finals, especially, and had missed very few Finals games in the past decade or so. I never had a home team but rooted for my favorite players. I had followed Lebron James’s career, in particular, since his first stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But I didn’t watch a single minute of this past NBA season. LeBron and the Lakers won the trophy on Sunday and I didn’t realize that the game was even happening, or that the Lakers were up in the series. I found out the next day, due to viral footage of Lakers fans rioting in celebration (apparently, revelers celebrating a basketball team’s victory are immune to COVID, just like BLM activists and attendees of memorial services for Democrats). This was the first NBA season I’ve ever ignored, and I didn’t miss it. Being a sports fan is like being under some sort … [Read more...] about WALSH: The NBA Killed Itself With Politics And Propaganda. Good Riddance. | The Daily Wire

On June 11, disgraced Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors delivered a University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) virtual graduation speech. According to a press release from June 1, Cullors spoke at UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs graduation. Other speakers included artist and social justice activist “Mr. Wash” and Democratic Representative Ted Lieu (CA). The school praised Cullors — a UCLA alumna and self-described “trained Marxist” — for her years in social justice activism. “Patrisse Cullors is at the heart — and the foundation — of a movement for human rights, social change, and genuine equality under the law,” Luskin Dean Gary Segura said in a statement. “Her work and the work of those who follow is way past due.” The description of Cullors failed to acknowledge that she departed BLM after the Daily Caller reported that she funneled business to an art company, Trap Heals, led by the father of her only … [Read more...] about Disgraced BLM Co-Founder Delivered UCLA Grad Ceremony Speech | The Daily Wire

Michael Brown Sr. has signed his name to a new group called BLM 10 Plus, which seeks financial transparency from BLM Global Network Foundation, as controversy surrounding BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullor and her lavish lifestyle continues to bubble. “Referring to initial calls for more transparency and accountability from the ‘BLM 10,’ the name for the ten original BLM chapters, a new group, deemed the ‘BLM 10 Plus’ is now speaking out,” Fox News reported Friday. “The number of chapters that have aligned in support of our statement has nearly doubled,” said a statement from BLM 10 Plus, issued Friday. “Some of these chapters have made their own statements echoing not only our call to accountability but also our experiences as we sought transparency, democracy, and internal transformation for years.” “The BLM 10 Plus … [Read more...] about Michael Brown Father Presses Black Lives Matter, Wants To Know Where $90 Million In Funds Went: Report | The Daily Wire

Daily Wire host Candace Owens blasted Patrisse Khan-Cullors, one of the founders of radical activist group Black Lives Matter (BLM), questioning why Khan-Cullors is purchasing pricey homes in predominately white neighborhoods if white people are her supposed “oppressors.” Owens told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that some $25 million dollars raised by BLM was directed toward “building a black movement.” “Apparently, the ‘black movement’ was Patrisse moving herself, a black woman, into other areas of the communities of people that she claims are oppressing black Americans,” Owens mocked. “Why doesn’t she want to live amongst black people?” she asked. “Why is she choosing to move herself into an all-white neighborhood? These are important questions.” According to a report from the New York Post, Khan-Cullors is reportedly on a “real-estate buying binge,” already purchasing four homes with a price tag totaling upwards of $3 million. Notably, one of the homes was purchased at … [Read more...] about Candace Owens On BLM Founder: If ‘White People Are So Bad, Why Doesn’t She Want To Live Amongst Black People?’ | The Daily Wire

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, a once self-described “trained Marxist,” has reportedly put up $35,000 worth of fencing and an electric gate around her $1.4 million secluded Los Angeles home, where the population is reputedly less than 2% black. As highlighted by Fox News, a neighbor who spoke to a subcontractor told DailyMail.com that the erected wooden fence around the pricey property, in addition to other “exterior improvements,” totaled up to around $35,000. “It will have an electronic gate at the driveway portion, a walk up door, and call box, and other safety measures, cameras – you know, to keep the riff raff out,” the neighbor said. DailyMail.com reported that “photos of the property reveal the fencing and gate project was near completion.” On May 17, as Cullors was buried with backlash over her uncovered lavish living, the activist announced her resignation from the BLM organization.

Dave Chappelle ’s neighbors cheered him after Chappelle bought the entire 52-acre lot near his home in Yellow Springs, Ohio, to block a proposed 140-home development. The amount Chappelle, who is estimated to be worth $60 million, paid for the area is undisclosed. “I have confirmation that Dave Chappelle bought the entire lot. We are talking about all the 52 acres,” village manager Josue Salmeron told the Daily Mail. “To me it is clear, the project isn’t going forward. The developers will not be building on that land.” “Signs proclaiming ‘Thanks Dave!’ now festoon several properties near the site, which is comprised of a large open field and acres of woodland in an area that could be comfortably described as pastoral bliss,” the Daily Mail added. In February, Chappelle told the village council where he lives, “You look like clowns,” as he voiced his opposition to the town accepting a developer’s plan to build single-family homes, duplexes, and townhouses near his property. … [Read more...] about ‘Thanks Dave!’ Residents Cheer Chappelle After He Blocks Development, Buys 52-Acre Lot Near His Home | The Daily Wire
