Downtown Los Angeles has been described as 'third world' after shocking footage revealed a homeless encampment with open fires in the street and trash-covered sidewalks. The startling video, posted to X by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, shows dozens of homeless people sitting and standing on filthy sidewalks on the corner of San Pedro Street and 6th Street in the Skid Row neighborhood of LA. Some are seen standing around an open fire in the street, just moments away from the Midnight Mission, a $17 million center for the homeless.

Grateful that photographs and video be finding their way into bigger media. It will help people wake up that although LA is particularly bad, this is going on in many states. We need a crusader journalistic team to visit my state’s urban areas and others too. They need to show what Governors and Mayors do not want us to see. If Americans start seeing how widespread the decay, perhaps it will really motivate and energize good people even more to FIGHT for our beloved nation.

“In August it emerged that the city had resorted to sending mobile teams with oxygen cylinders to Skid Row in a desperate bid to prevent overdoses as the area becomes gripped by an opioid crisis.” Until the drug issue is addressed nothing will happen. These are ADDICTS on the street and their motivation while they are high is to stay high. Take away their drugs and you’ll finally be able to make real headway in helping people. Also remember - the people helping the homeless have that as their jobs, their income. Solve the homeless crisis and lots of people lose their livelihood. That needs to be addressed too.

More sensationalist garbage from bored DMUK fake journalists. LA has been a cesspool for a number of years and is no worse today than it was three years ago when they adopted every homeless bum in Southern California and supplied him with needles and outdoor open air toilets.

Many years ago, CA decided to give checks to the homeless. As such, many homeless people now call CA home. Liberals never seem to understand the concept of cause and effect.

Mason Courson went to Washington, D.C., on Jan 6, 2021, to stand and listen to his President speak, with no ill intent. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old, who was born and raised in South Florida, found himself in a situation he never imagined. Mason excelled academically and athletically, including playing college football. He loves reading and history. Mason is proud of his Cuban roots and immigrant maternal grandparents, who were honored to become US Citizens. Mason was held without bond by the Biden administration. And he is unable to support his 4-year-old son, whom he had a month before he was arrested. Mason pleaded guilty to one count of interfering with an officer.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a former Democrat turned independent running for president in 2024 as a third party candidate, said the argument can be made President Joe Biden is a “much worse threat to democracy” than former President Donald Trump. Kennedy made the remark during an appearance on CNN’s Outfront with Erin Burnett, who asked, “A moment ago, you said you essentially see Trump and Biden as the same, different issues, but do you really believe that?” “When people talk about the threats of democracy that Trump poses, do you really think that is as equal — equal to Biden?” she pressed.

US home insurance rates will hit a record high this year, according to grim new forecasts. The typical annual premium will rise to $2,522 by the end of 2024, according to insurance comparison platform Insurify - up 6 percent on a year before. This projected increase for 2024 comes on the back of a 20 percent hike over the last two years. This has largely been driven by escalating natural disasters, insurers pulling out of certain areas - which cuts down on competition - and higher fees for home repairs. Soaring costs mean home insurance is becoming increasingly unaffordable for many Americans - with many opting to forego

Hundreds of thousands of migrants have been authorized to fly into Miami, Florida — among dozens of other United States airports — as part of a parole pipeline that President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) created and implemented. The airports where migrants are flying into the U.S. were revealed in a report from Todd Bensman with the Center for Immigration Studies. As Bensman notes, Biden’s DHS launched the parole pipeline, known as Advance Travel Authorization, in October 2022. It has since permitted 386,000 migrants to book their flights to the U.S. to secure “humanitarian parole.”

Decent public schools can save families thousands of dollars each year, and put youngsters on track for a successful college and work careers. Niche, a comparison website, has crunched the data and says they should consider Scarsdale, a wealthy suburb of New York City.

A federal judge separately threatened in February to hold him in contempt of court if he failed to turn over emails from his time in the Trump administration to the National Archives in a ruling the appeals court affirmed Monday.

According to the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), applicants for naturalization can now identify as "X," offered as "Another Gender Identity" for those who choose not to be male or female.
