San Francisco sued over reparations plan
for black residents
Posted By: sunset, 2/6/2026 5:16:52 AM
San Francisco could be in hot water over a plan to pay reparations to black residents. Two San Francisco taxpayers, activist Richie Greenberg and resident Arthur Ritchie, have sued the city over the controversial plan to hand out benefits to “individuals who are black and/or descendants of a chattel enslaved person and have experienced a proven harm in San Francisco,” according to a bill quietly signed by Mayor Daniel Lurie in December. The plaintiffs, including the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, slammed the reparations plan as a “sordid and unconstitutional enterprise” amounting to a “racial spoils system” in a fiery complaint filed Thursday in San Francisco Superior Court.

How Chinese is your car? Automakers are racing to work it out. Modern cars are packed with internet-connected widgets, many of them containing Chinese technology. Now, the car industry is scrambling to root out that tech ahead of a looming deadline, a test case for America’s ability to decouple from Chinese supply chains. New U.S. rules will soon ban Chinese software in vehicle systems that connect to the cloud, part of an effort to prevent cameras, microphones and GPS tracking in cars from being exploited by foreign adversaries. The move is “one of the most consequential and complex auto regulations in decades,”

The Brandeis Center lawsuit against the organizations that conspired to engineer the pro-Hamas UCLA encampments that terrorized Jewish students scored a big victory recently when a federal judge allowed claims against two of the groups to proceed. United States District Court Judge Mark Scarsi that “Plaintiffs have pleaded sufficient facts to raise an inference that [National Students for Justice in Palestine] and [People’s City Council] acted with the requisite discriminatory animus” to establish plausible claims of discrimination and conspiracy. “Plaintiffs have plausibly alleged that NSJP and PCC acted at least in part to deprive Plaintiffs of their Thirteenth Amendment rights to be free from race-based violence and exclusion. “

The FBI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department provided an update on the investigation into an alleged illegal biological lab found in a northeast Las Vegas home on Saturday. During a press conference on Monday, Metro confirmed the house was owned by the same individual, Jia Bei Zhu, connected to a prior investigation of the alleged illegal biological lab in Reedley, California, in 2023. The second suspect arrested is 55-year-old Ori Solomon, the property manager of the house. More than 1,000 samples were collected. On Monday morning, all samples were loaded onto an FBI aircraft and transported to the National Bioforensic Analysis Center in Maryland for testing.

A pro-ICE billboard appeared in a heavily trafficked part of San Francisco this week ahead of the Super Bowl, prompting an outcry from immigrant rights advocates in the city.
The digital billboard, at Mason and Jefferson streets near Fisherman’s Wharf, displayed images of what appeared to be Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and messages that say “Cheering because the home team finally started investing in defense,” “Defensive player of the year: ICE,” and “They can’t win without defense. Neither can America.” American Sovereignty, a conservative group, said that it had placed the sign.

One of the first British patients to receive Elon Musk's controversial brain-computer implant has described what it is like to live with the futuristic chip. Sebastian Gomez-Pena is taking part in the first UK clinical trial of the Neuralink device, which allows users to control a computer using only their thoughts. The former medical student, who was left paralysed from the neck down after a devastating accident two years ago, told Sky News: 'It is a massive change in your life where you can suddenly no longer move any of your limbs.
'This kind of technology kind of gives you a new piece of hope.'
The attorney wife of an elite Texas law-firm partner, an event planner and a pilot who joined the company less than a year ago were among six people killed when a private jet flipped over and burst into flames at a Maine airport over the weekend — just after a voice over the radio said, “Let there be light.’’ Tara Arnold — a 46-year-old powerhouse lawyer who lived with her two kids and mega-wealthy husband in a Houston mansion was on board the plane when it crashed. Kurt Arnold and his law partner, as well as their wives were known to make multimillion-dollar donations to Republican causes,
The United States is pushing Bolivia to kick suspected Iranian spies out of the South American country and designate Tehran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist group, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter. Washington also wants the government in La Paz to designate Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah and Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas - both of which the United States considers to be proxies of Tehran - as terrorist organizations, said the sources. The private diplomatic push comes amid a broader US effort to deepen its geopolitical influence in Latin America and diminish that of its adversaries in the region.
Mexico sent 37 people accused of being criminal operatives to the United States on Tuesday, the latest apparent bid to alleviate pressure from President Trump to do more to combat the powerful groups smuggling drugs across the border. It was the first such transfer this year, when Mr. Trump’s threats of military action against Mexico have grown more direct, but the third since he took office. Mexican authorities have now sent nearly 100 people accused of being key criminals to the United States. The transfers are part of a larger effort by Mexican authorities to appease Mr. Trump as he threatens unilateral strikes inside Mexican territory
Air Force One returned to Joint Base Andrews late Tuesday with President Trump on board after experiencing a “minor electrical issue,” a White House official said.
The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said that Mr. Trump would board a different plane at the base and continue on to Switzerland, where he is expected to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday.
It was unclear whether Mr. Trump would arrive in time for his scheduled speech at 2:30 p.m. local time in Davos, or 8:30 a.m. Eastern, on Wednesday. He is expected to meet afterward with several world leaders,
A long-running effort to help disadvantaged students of color in Los Angeles schools is under legal challenge by a group that claims the nation’s second-largest school system is discriminating against white students.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court, targets efforts to bring resources to underserved schools going back decades and rooted in battles over forced and voluntary integration.
Filed in the Central District of California by the 1776 Project Foundation, the suit alleges that L.A. Unified discriminates against white students because of a program that provides more resources to schools where 70% or more of the students are nonwhite

Friday on MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) argued Republicans would vote for her in the general election for U.S. Senate.
Co-host Michael Steele said, “Do you think Republicans, when you get to a general election, can be convinced that you are the representative they need in Washington?”
Crockett said, “Oh, absolutely. Now, Michael, you can maybe talk about this a little bit more because I think the Democrats have a perception of what Republicans want. And I think that, you know, what the real is. I think that Republicans aren’t looking for somebody that is Republican lite. They can just go and get the real thing.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is using his Muslim faith to justify his views on immigration enforcement and wants America to follow suit.
Mamdani held a press conference on Friday to speak about ICE and immigration policy in the United States. As TGP readers know, Madani has vowed not to cooperate with the Trump Administration on getting rid of criminal illegal aliens in the Big Apple.
At one point in the press conference, Mamdani cited Islam to push an open borders agenda. He claimed Islam was built on a narrative of migration and noted that Muhammad was once a stranger too.
Minnesota's ICE surge is leaving many with strong feelings of fear and anxiety. Many in the community and mental health experts are finding ways of handling it. "I mean, my last six therapy sessions have been basically all talking about this," said Nate P. (Snip) Fear and uncertainty are taking a toll on the community, with many unsure of how to cope. Mental health concerns are on the rise as immigration enforcement plays out in Minnesota and across the country. "We're seeing the images, it's hard to look away," said Marcus Schmit, executive director of NAMI Minnesota. "People are feeling
A Washington state mother captured on video the moment she confronted her 16-year-old son, who ditched class to join an anti-ICE protest, and his refusal to get into her vehicle, claiming that the protest was school-sanctioned.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the frustrated mom, Rachel, pulling up to the protest site and ordering her son to get in the car, only for him to refuse, insisting it’s his “right” because the school permitted it.
In the footage, the mother can be heard saying, “You’re not skipping school for this (expletive). Get in the car.”
Her son retorts, “No, it is my right,” before walking away.
The Left is beginning to panic about Tulsi Gabbard's investigation into the massive election fraud in 2020.
They have good reason to. For the first time since then, I actually have hope that the fraud will be exposed for all to see. I would say that the evidence produced will be undeniable, but the left will always deny what they find inconvenient. But still, by the time Gabbard is done, a lot more people will believe what has been pretty obvious for a long time:

A bombshell new report from ISGAP Action, a nonpartisan organization focused on combating antisemitism, is putting Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) in a glaring spotlight, accusing the congresswoman of maintaining a disturbing pattern of ties to individuals and organizations linked to U.S.-designated terrorist groups.
Groups such as Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
Go ahead and color me shocked. RedState readers, of course, will recognize Tlaib as a lawmaker nearly unmatched in her willingness to side with terrorist organizations in nearly every scenario.
The ISGAP briefing details everything, from her campaign shelling out nearly $600,000 to a consulting firm run by an activist
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a designated terrorist organization, said on Thursday it seized two vessels in the Persian Gulf that were allegedly carrying smuggled fuel.
Later that day, a former Iranian official threatened to turn the Strait of Hormuz into a “place of massacre and hell” if there is a conflict with the United States[snip] On Tuesday, IRGC forces used small boats and a drone to harass a U.S.-flagged and crewed merchant ship named MV Stena Imperative that was conducting a lawful transit through international waters.

Gen Z, this will smart.
The generation born between 1997 and 2010 is the very first generation who did worse in school than the generation before them, according to a top neuroscientist.
And shockingly, they are proud of it.
“They’re the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized academic tests than the one before it,” Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, 43, told The Post. “And to make matters worse, most of these young people are overconfident about how smart they are. The smarter people think they are, the dumber they actually are. “They underperformed on basically every cognitive measure, from basic attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function and general IQ.”
Mike Pence is siding with wealthy donors over victims of the East Palestine, Ohio, rail disaster, earning a cacophony of outrage from conservatives and prominent MAGA voices.
Pence, who like Democrats reflexively opposes Trump on issue after issue as he woos establishment corporate donors to enrich himself through his non-profit and stake a claim in the narrowing establishment lane for the 2028 Republican nomination, is fighting a bill first championed by then-Ohio Sen. JD Vance — and Pence’s likely 2028 primary opponent — to implement safety regulations for trains carrying hazardous materials.
Those regulations could have prevented the toxic spill that upended the lives of thousands in the East Palestine area
Removing adolescents' healthy body parts under the guise of treating gender dysphoria could soon become a "thing of the past" as doctors reckon with the reality of financial penalties.

Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley brushed off a question Wednesday about how her wealth jumped to as much as $8 million after initially entering Congress with a negative net worth.
Pressley entered Congress after upsetting incumbent Democrat Rep. Michael Capuano of Massachusetts in a 2018 primary election, according to Ballotpedia, and her initial financial disclosure led some to conclude her net worth was in the negatives. Fox Business reporter Chad Pergram questioned Pressley after her financial disclosure for 2024 indicated a net worth of as much as $8 million, due to multiple rental properties in Massachusetts and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Over 60 percent of illegal immigrant-led households and 51 percent of legal immigrant-led households received some sort of welfare benefits in 2024, compared with just 37 percent of natural-born citizen households taking taxpayer benefits, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration studies. (snip) The Center for Immigration Studies explained that, even in states that do not explicitly provide benefits to illegal immigrants, their households may receive such benefits if they have U.S.-born children.
