The World Cup Will Expose Los Angeles'
Liberal Illusion
Posted By: 4250Luis, 6/8/2026 8:40:18 AM
With only days left before World Cup matches begin in Los Angeles, the story is no longer just about soccer. The Los Angeles County sheriff has said that civil immigration enforcement by ICE is not expected at World Cup matches and events, even as federal forces will be present for security. More than 2,000 workers at SoFi Stadium have voted to authorize a strike, with ICE’s presence around the games among the union’s concerns. Meanwhile, Los Angeles taxpayers still do not have a clear picture of how much this global spectacle will ultimately cost them.

Psssstttt…I think The Hill is subtly trying to suggest something, don’t you think?
Just kidding. I believe we all know what The Hill wants to say and for us to believe. So, let’s articulate it aloud, in unison, people: “The GOP is DOOMED in 2026!”
Now that we've got that out of our system, let’s look at the updated facts regarding the battle for the U.S. House of Representatives, shall we?
The RCP job approval for the president is indeed low. President Trump’s job approval is at 40.4 percent, with his disapproval number at 57 percent.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stood at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day and delivered a pointed message. While honoring the sacrifices of those who stormed the beaches in 1944, he drew a connection to the threats Europe faces today. Some criticized the remarks as political. They were instead a sober reflection on what those graves represent: the high cost of securing liberty and the need to defend it in every generation.Normandy was chosen for the Allied invasion because it offered a feasible path to breach Hitler’s Fortress Europe. The Germans expected the main assault to be farther north near Calais.

There was a time when Donald Trump was just another celebrity sitting courtside at New York Knicks games. He was famous, but not yet flanked by Secret Service agents or defined by the politics that have left him deeply unpopular in his hometown.
Now, more than a decade after attending his last Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, Trump is making a rare trip back to New York City as president to cheer for them in Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. Invited by Knicks owner James Dolan, he will be the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game.
Another day, another Democrat candidate scandal. The New York Post reported June 7 that a Democrat New York City councilwoman who is running for Congress was a squatter in a luxury Queens condominium. In fact, Julie Won owes $25,000 in back rent after the condominium’s owner, who used to be a friend of hers, finally served her with eviction papers. Justin Chae, the owner and a top political consultant in New York City, finally forced Won’s family out of the condo on Monday. Won had been living in Skyline Towers despite asserting that she and her husband Eugene Noh had never signed a lease agreement.
There's government corruption, and then there's whatever David Rush allegedly pulled off. A CIA officer who spent 17 years inside one of the agency's most sensitive directorates created an entirely fake intelligence program and used it to funnel millions of dollars in federal funds straight into his own pocket, according to people familiar with the criminal investigation. It's the kind of scheme that sounds like a bad spy novel. Except the gold bars were very real. When FBI agents raided David Rush's Virginia home on May 18, they found 303 one-kilogram gold bars worth roughly $40 million,
A veteran Metropolitan Police officer has accused Scotland Yard of being captured by the “woke mind virus”, claiming the force has spent more than a decade pursuing equality of outcome between ethnic groups rather than equal treatment under the law. Rick Prior, former chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, makes the claims in a foreword to a Free Speech Union report into the policies and training materials that inevitably led to the police believing Henry Nowak’s murderer over his victim. The Telegraph has the story:
Scotland Yard has been captured by the “woke mind virus” and no longer treats citizens equally under the law, a veteran police officer has claimed.
Sixty-seven minutes elapsed between the time Henry Nowak was stabbed by Vickrum Digwa and his death, on December 3 last year, in Southampton, England.
Sixty-seven minutes when his life could have been saved were it not for the incompetence and institutional corruption of the British police and the clannishness and cunning of an Indian Sikh family who knew just how to exploit those weaknesses to paint themselves, fatally, as the victims.
By claiming the stabbing was really a racist attack against the stabber himself, the entire Digwa family ensured Henry Nowak would die.
Instead of taking the victim’s anguished cries seriously as he lay bleeding to death—“I’ve been stabbed”:
We have had many discussions here at the Briefing about how refreshing it is to watch President Trump and so many of the members of his administration deftly manhandle hostile, corrupt members of the mainstream media. Those skills also transfer well to their run-ins with combative Democratic members of Congress.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio spent the past couple of days on Capitol Hill, being grilled by various members of the Senate and House regarding State Department budget requests for the upcoming fiscal year. Okay, he got grilled a little bit. The secretary spent much of his time responding to a barrage of Trump Derangement Syndrome-induced meltdowns

The Senate passed legislation to fund President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agencies early Friday, after weeks of delays and fierce backlash to an unrelated $1.776 billion settlement fund that threatened to derail the bill.
Senators voted 52-47 to pass the $70 billion legislation to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol for the next three years, through the end of Trump’s term, after Democrats have blocked the money for months. The bill will now head to the House, which is expected to take it up next week.

Iran – These FOUR Republicans Voted

The House of Representatives on Wednesday voted 215-208 to end the war with Iran.
This is the first time the House has voted to stop Trump’s military action in Iran.
Four Republicans voted with the Democrats: Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett and Warren Davidson.
The resolution is likely dead on arrival in the Senate. If it passes the Senate, Trump will veto the resolution.
The Hill reported: House lawmakers on Wednesday passed legislation designed to force President Trump to end the Iran War, marking a victory for Democrats and the constitutional purists who say the conflict is illegal without explicit congressional approval.
The tally was 215-208, with four Republicans — Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.),
Democrats in New Jersey just handed a primary win to Adam Hamawy, a candidate with actual ties to the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, which is credited with carrying out the attacks of 9/11.
This is in a district where Todd Beamer is buried. You may remember Todd Beamer as the airline passenger on Flight 93 who famously said “Let’s roll” as his last known words, referring to other passengers as they prepared to retake control of the plane, which crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania instead of somewhere in DC.
This is what Democrats have come to. Utterly shameful.

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman is roughly one percentage point away from leapfrogging Republican candidate Spencer Pratt in the L.A. mayoral race with 78% of votes counted. After slowly gaining on Pratt for several days, Raman, a Democrat, is still sitting in third with 26.21% of the vote, Saturday night’s latest election numbers show. Pratt, a reality TV star, is now clinging to second with 27.32% of the vote. (Snip) On Saturday morning, Pratt held 28.24% of the vote in the June primary, while Raman trailed by multiple points at 24.89%. She has since gained significant ground in the
Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman has overtaken former reality TV personality Spencer Pratt for the second spot in the Los Angeles mayoral runoff, according to updated vote totals released Sunday by the LA County Registrar-Recorder.
Raman, a progressive Democrat representing the city’s 4th Council District, now holds 27.12% of the counted ballots. Pratt, a registered Republican who ran on a law-and-order platform, sits at 26.69%. The gap stands at 3,113 votes.
Decision Desk HQ projected Sunday that Raman had secured the second of two spots in the nonpartisan primary, which advances the top two finishers to the November 3 general election regardless of party.
Former first lady Dr. Jill Biden gave an update on former President Joe Biden’s cancer on Saturday, saying that though the 83-year-old will live with cancer for the rest of his life, he maintains a busy schedule, but has slowed down.
Biden explained during a discussion with political commentator and “The View” co-host Ana Navarro for her new book “View From the East Wing: A Memoir,” that while her husband was still president and had a team of doctors, she mentioned that he was getting up seven times a night to go to the bathroom, and she assumed that someone would follow up on that.
President Trump delivered one of the moments of his presidency as his interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker neared its conclusion.
The “Meet the Press” host traveled to Wisconsin to interview Trump on a variety of topics, including the war with Iran, gas prices, and the “anti-weaponization” fund.
Toward the end, Trump absolutely went off on the corrupt state of American elections, especially in California. Welker tried desperately to interrupt. But Trump would not let go.
Spencer Pratt’s once-comfortable lead in the Los Angeles mayoral primary has been slashed yet again — as a fresh batch of ballots delivered another major boost to progressive City Councilmember Nithya Raman in their race to the November runoff.
New results released Saturday show Pratt’s advantage over Raman shrinking to just 7,494 votes, down from more than 20,000 a day earlier. Roughly 78% of the ballots had been counted as of Saturday. Raman picked up 23,514 votes in the latest count, more than double Pratt’s gain of 10,336. Her share of the vote jumped from 24.9% to 26.2%, while Pratt slipped from 28.2% to 27.3%.
Donald Trump slammed Barack Obama's new $850 million presidential library, with a photoshopped prediction that it would be surrounded by homeless camps within ten years.
A 'giant trash can' is just one of the unflattering comparisons the new center has been called ahead of its opening on the South Side of Chicago on June 19.
And Trump weighed in by posting a photo of the library with a garbage bag on top and homeless encampments surrounding it to Truth Social on Saturday.
Trump wrote over the AI-generated image: 'The Barack Hussein Obama Library, in 10 years, when fully matured!'
McDonald's customers could soon find themselves placing orders with an AI system. The chain is currently piloting an AI-powered drive-thru ordering platform called ArchIQ at five US locations. The effort falls under a broader brand initiative known as McDonald's Next, which was unveiled earlier this week. At the launch, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski stated that customers shouldn't have to choose between "hospitality or speed,” per Fox Business. An X account representing a McDonald's franchisee indicated that Google is involved in the project.

California ballot counting will continue until the key republicans in each race are pushed into 3rd place. That’s when ballot counting will conclude.
(snip) This X message from the First Asst U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of California is a case study in pretending not to know things.(graphic)(snip) Eric Holder was hired by California govt to advise on the election changes created by linking DMV database to Secretary of State database.
The tech team that wrote the code to link the DMV and SOS were given specific instructions. The affirmative flag, the checkbox in the DMV system that says the applicant is legally eligible to vote, was neutralized.
Last Thursday, even as California’s chaotic primaries demonstrated the need for a nationwide election integrity law, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) voted to kill the SAVE America Act. This would be understandable if the bill were unpopular with the electorate. But its requirement that voters in every state must provide proof of citizenship before registering to vote and produce a photo ID when casting a ballot are wildly popular among Republicans and Democrats. Yet, because its passage is one of President Trump’s top priorities, TDS forced them to ignore his agenda.
Imagine putting your taxes in the mail a full week before the April 15 deadline, only to be fined by the Internal Revenue Service for a late filing. (snip)Like the IRS analogy above, they contend that by “election,” Congress did not merely mean the act of casting a ballot. They argued before the Supreme Court in March that “election” “plainly refer[s] to the combined action of voters and officials meant to make a final selection of an officeholder.”
The jury that acquitted OJ Simpson in the 1995 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman had nine members who were black. That is all that one needs to know about the case to infer the verdict. The prosecutor’s argument and evidence, including the bloody glove, were beside the point. The verdict was preordained the moment that the jury was chosen. It says a lot about our jury system, but it says even more about a society in which blacks view justice through a racial lens.
I experienced it firsthand when I sat on a jury determining the guilt of a black former felon who was standing trial for
