Inside the fentanyl ‘zombie zone’
public park thriving under LA’s DSA
regime — where people die daily
Posted By: mc squared, 12/7/2025 10:28:21 AM
MacArthur Park has erupted into LA’s fentanyl ground zero — a collapsing, chaos-soaked war zone where overdoses hit by the hour, people die daily, crime crews corner the market — and what used to be a neighborhood park now teeters on the brink of total collapse. The park, the largest green space in the district, now hosts an unknown number of unhoused people, though on most days it’s fair to estimate the population in the hundreds. MacArthur’s unofficial “residents” are made comfortable by groups handing out food and even free crack pipes as part of “safe smoking” kits — with tens of millions of dollars coming from the city

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Anzaspwer felt that taquitos were a perversion of the purity of minimalist ideals.
Gosh, it seems like just last week that I was lamenting the grandstanding antics of one of the members of Congress from my home state. (This is where I wish I had come up with my good friend Stephen Green's "Editor's Note" bit; it's so much fun.) I believe that it was also last week that I wrote something about questioning why I always end up in places where I am not a good fit politically.
President Joe Biden was warned by advisers that his immigration plans could lead to “chaos” at the US border — but he ignored them, a newly uncovered memo reveals.
His team doled out the advice to Biden when he was still campaigning against President Trump back in 2020, the New York Times reported.
“A potential surge could create chaos and a humanitarian crisis, overwhelm processing capacities and imperil the agenda of the new administration,” Biden’s advisers wrote.
The memo warned that a huge influx was possible given Biden’s approach, a backlog from the Trump administration, and COVID hardships.

The welfare fraud scam engulfing Minnesota’s Somali community is “the single greatest theft of taxpayer dollars through welfare fraud in American history,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff for policy Stephen Miller declared.
Miller, who also serves as a homeland security advisor to President Trump, said the fraud operation apparently carried out by numerous Somali migrants in the state will “rock the core of Minnesota politics and American politics.”
“We believe that we have only scratched the very top of the surface of how deep this goes,” he said in an appearance with Sean Hannity on Fox.
Prosecutors have already charged dozens of state residents
A suspect was taken into custody after police say they stole a license plate reader camera.
What we know:
One person stole a Flock license plate reader from a Mount Dora intersection, police said. The license plate reader is part of a $13,000 public safety system. [snip]
Flock License Plate Readers not only capture a vehicle's license plate number, but also capture a vehicle's "fingerprint," including: the make, body type, color, plate state, resident or non-resident vehicle, type of plate, missing plate or other identifiers such as having a roof rack, window stickers or more.

For over a decade at this shingle, we've reported on the industrial-scale gang-rape afflicting almost every town up and down the spine of England, most recently on a special edition of The Mark Steyn Show. The stories are all different, and yet in their most salient aspect all the same: In every town the girls are doubly violated - sodomised by their Pakistani Muslim clan-rapists, and then further assaulted by a whitey-white officialdom [snip] "This would never happen in America, Steyn", augmented by a few random observations on Euro-pussies more generally.
Well, it turns out it is happening in America, or at least in Minnesota:
A suspect has been arrested in connection with the planting of pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican National Committees on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, The Post has confirmed.
The arrest, first reported by CNN and the Associated Press, comes one month before the fifth anniversary of the melee that briefly delayed congressional confirmation of former Vice President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory — and closes an embarrassing chapter for the FBI, which had been castigated by lawmakers for the lack of progress in identifying a perpetrator.
New Post reporting reveals the widely hated congestion-pricing scheme isn’t delivering on its promises; Let’s hope President Donald Trump can soon make good on his promise to kill it.
The tech company TomTom reports traffic in the zone has dropped about 4% in the first third of the year, in contrast to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s claim of an 11% drop.
Plus, businesses tell The Post that they simply add congestion zone costs to all their invoices — thereby inflating everyone’s costs. [snip]
For now, Hochul’s heinous charge on working-class drivers and small businesses of up to $21 a day remains in effect.

From the looks of it, this one could have been bad — really bad. Cops stopped a car that was in the park after hours in Wilmington, Delaware, in late November, and when the driver refused to exit the vehicle, officers detained him. What they found next was truly scary:
Police searched the Tacoma and found several items inside, including a loaded handgun, extended magazines, body armor, a laptop and binoculars.[snip]
The man, 25-year-old Luqmaan Khan, turned out to be a University of Delaware student. It gets worse:
Federal prosecutors have filed charges in Minnesota against multiple individuals, many of Somali descent, for defrauding the government out of hundreds of millions of dollars from the state's incredibly generous social programs. As RedState’s Jennifer Oliver O’Connell wrote, “Minnesota's governor [Democrat Tim Walz] not only turned a blind eye to what was occurring among the Somalis, but deliberately blocked or targeted anyone who was vocal about this corruption and sought to be a whistleblower.”
Meanwhile, an X account claiming to represent 480 staff at the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), which blasted Gov. Walz for ignoring their warnings about the fraud, was suspended Monday.
The mass shooting in California that killed four people, including three kids, erupted just as a toddler was cutting cake at her 2nd birthday party, according to her mom — who said the shooters “deserve to go to hell.”
The birthday girl’s mother, Patrice Williams, said partygoers dropped to the floor as soon as the gunshots rang out inside the packed banquet hall in Stockton on Saturday.
“I actually thought it was my balloons popping. It was gunshots,” Williams said.
“It was just unexpected. I don’t know what happened, and I’m just so shocked and lost.”
All that petroleum-based hair gel has apparently crossed Gavin Newsom’s blood/brain barrier and done some real damage:
Ah yes, California the state that continues to try to mandate electric vehicles while simultaneously chasing gasoline refineries out of the state and telling EV owners not to charge their vehicles overnight because California doesn’t have the electric generation capacity and must buy electricity from out of state.
Notice that last bit of wonder? Having 94% of Californians living within 10 minutes of an EV charger might be a good thing considering California’s highest in the nation average gas price of $4.565 per gallon, compared with the $3.012 national average.

Hamas leader Khaled Mashal declared that “the resistance and its weapons are our honor and glory” and that “the battle is not over,” boasting that rights are won “at the recruitment office, not the U.N. Security Council” — a declaration that directly contradicts President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan and celebrates the October 7 “Al-Aqsa Flood” massacre as a turning point to push Israel off “our homeland” and the international stage. Speaking Saturday by video to the “Pledge to Jerusalem” conference in Istanbul, the head of Hamas abroad used a keynote address carried on Al Jazeera to lay out an uncompromising roadmap that flatly rejects the core elements -
Earlier this month, over 400 Minnesota Department of Human Services employees accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of being "100% responsible" for the massive fraud in Minnesota. I wrote at the time that the Minnesota Somali fraud scandal could take down Walz, and every day it looks even more likely. And what do you know, the scandal just got significantly worse for Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar. Newly surfaced photographs show both Democrats smiling alongside Abdul Dahir Ibrahim,
U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-CA, called President Donald Trump a “killer” because he ordered the destruction of suspected drug trafficking boats.
She said that the air strikes outraged her.
"I am outraged... He doesn't know whom [sic] they are or whether they are innocent or whether they're guilty," Water said. "He should follow the laws. The law does not allow or intend for the president of the United States to kill anyone he wants to kill." [Tweet, video]
Democratic lawmakers have claimed that Trump has issued illegal orders to the military. Yet, those Democrats can't name a single illegal order, Townhall reported.

President Trump expressed angry regret over his eyebrow-raising pardon of Rep. Henry Cuellar last Wednesday after the pol quickly confirmed his reelection plans as a Democrat.
Cuellar (D-Texas), 70, who sits in one of the House Democrats’ most competitive seats faced federal bribery, money laundering, and foreign-agent charges for allegedly taking $600,000 from Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company and a Mexican bank.
“Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be ‘running’ for Congress again, in the Great State of Texas (a State where I received the highest number of votes ever recorded!), as a Democrat,” Trump raged in a lengthy Truth Social post.
Old Joe Biden put down his ice cream cone and rejoined the fray on Friday, delivering a major speech at the International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. The first question that leaps to mind is connection with this is: What on earth were the gays thinking? Whose bright idea was it to have Old Joe Biden, of all people, headline their conference? Didn’t they know that the man can barely string a coherent sentence together even when he is simply reading it off a teleprompter? In any case, the queer gathering got exactly what you’d expect.
Chicago Public Schools allows students to receive excused absences if they or their family members are concerned about Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in the city.
The government school district has a document, entitled “Attendance Coding for Safety Concerns Related to Federal Representative Activity,” that says parents can convey a fear of federal immigration authorities in order to mark their children “excused.”
The document was obtained by Defending Education, according to a report from Fox News. “If a parent/guardian reports an absence and attributes it to fear of federal representative-related procedures, schools CAN excuse the absence under ‘concern for student health and safety,'” the policy reads,

J6 pipe bomber 19 replies
The arrest of the alleged J6 pipe bomber just lumps mystery on top of mystery.
What we know from court documents and media reports since his arrest Thursday is that suspect Brian Cole Jr., is a black, 30-year-old loner who lives in his mom’s basement in the middle-class suburb of Woodbridge, Va., a 20-minute drive from Washington, DC. According to his family, he is borderline autistic, and incapable of such a crime.
In interviews, Cole’s grandmother, Loretta Cole, has said he is “very naïve . . . He’s almost autistic-like because he doesn’t understand a lot of stuff.
“He’s slow. He may be 30, but he’s got the mind of a 16-year-old.”
Last month, Florida Attorney General James Uttmeier made public a letter to the American Bar Association (“ABA”) accusing it of violating the First Amendment right to religious freedom when it said a Catholic law school did not meet one of its equal opportunity accreditation standards. The school is Florida’s St. Thomas University College of Law, and the standard is number 205, titled “Non-discrimination and Equal Opportunity.” The ABA’s finding did not specify how St. Thomas fell short.
Standard 205 is distinct from the ABA’s standard 206, which requires law schools to commit to diversity ideology to get accredited.

The Department of Health and Human Services has altered the name on the official portrait of Rachel Levine.
Levine, who served for years as Joe Biden’s assistant secretary for health, is a transgender woman who has long been the subject of mockery for his somewhat unconvincing gender transition.
The 68-year-old, who is a biological male, has had his portrait displayed in the hallway since he was confirmed to the position in 2021.
The portrait remains in situ, although NPR is now reporting that its name has been altered to Richard Levine.
The change was reportedly confirmed by a spokesperson for the agency. Adrian Shanker, who worked as a former deputy assistant secretary

A federal judge on Saturday blocked federal prosecutors from accessing key evidence in the criminal case against James Comey.
Earlier this week Comey’s secret media mole Daniel Richman sought to block the Justice Department from accessing his files as the Trump Administration prepares to hit James Comey with a new indictment.
A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey in September. He was indicted on two counts – false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
