Law enforcement is finally taking decisive action against chaotic street takeovers, signaling a major victory for public safety and constitutional order after years of unchecked lawlessness under progressive policies. Coordinated Law Enforcement Crushes Street Takeovers During the final weeks of August and Labor Day weekend 2025, authorities launched sweeping crackdowns across at least nine major U.S. cities, arresting hundreds involved in illegal street takeovers. Law enforcement agencies, including local police and state troopers, executed coordinated operations aimed at curbing the rise of disruptive automotive gatherings that had plagued communities for months. These actions resulted in mass arrests, vehicle impoundments, and a flood of citations, demonstrating renewed commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting local families. Unlike prior years where progressive city leaders hesitated to confront these illegal spectacles, the recent multi-agency response signaled a shift in priorities. Officers used surveillance, intelligence gathering, and rapid deployment to stop events before they escalated. Notably, enforcement targeted not just reckless drivers but also organizers and spectators—holding all parties accountable for contributing to public endangerment. Police departments publicized results and emphasized zero tolerance for criminal street racing, urging community members to report suspicious activity and cooperate with ongoing investigations. Street Takeovers: A Threat to Conservative Values and Public Safety Street takeovers, often promoted on social media and marked by dangerous stunts like drifting and burnouts, originated decades ago but have now grown into organized spectacles that threaten neighborhoods, small businesses, and family safety. Events typically block intersections and industrial areas, creating hazardous conditions for innocent bystanders and law-abiding motorists. The unchecked rise of these gatherings under prior left-leaning administrations fostered a culture of lawlessness, undermining property rights, local commerce, and the peace of American communities. Recent enforcement efforts directly address these threats and restore confidence in local government’s ability to maintain order. Authorities faced significant challenges as participants used social media to mobilize rapidly and evade detection. Previous high-profile incidents resulted in serious injuries and fatalities, amplifying calls for action from frustrated residents. Crackdowns have delivered temporary reductions in takeover activity, though experts caution that sustained enforcement and community engagement are needed to prevent resurgence. Law enforcement agencies continue to refine tactics, relying on proactive patrols and partnerships with community leaders to deter future incidents and reclaim public spaces for law-abiding citizens. Impact: Restoring Order and Protecting Communities Immediate effects of the recent crackdowns include event disruptions, increased arrests, and vehicle impoundments—a clear message that lawlessness will no longer be tolerated. Local residents and businesses, long affected by noise, property damage, and blocked access, are seeing a return to normalcy and renewed respect for their rights. However, experts warn that if enforcement ebbs, events may shift locations or become more clandestine, requiring vigilance and continued pressure from law enforcement and local governments. Economic costs associated with these operations, including property restoration and legal actions, underscore the need for ongoing investment in public safety infrastructure. 'Nobody's in control' as chaotic street takeovers terrorize cities across US: crime expert https://t.co/9oFUCvhe05 — Stanley P. Kenosky (@SKenosky) September 3, 2025 Political leaders face heightened scrutiny from voters demanding accountability, especially in cities where progressive policies previously allowed criminal activity to flourish. Community advocates emphasize the importance of balancing strict enforcement with outreach to car enthusiasts, suggesting legal alternatives could help channel energy away from illegal activity. Ultimately, the multi-city crackdown marks a turning point in the fight to restore order, defend constitutional values, and protect American families from the reckless agendas that eroded public safety in recent years.

Mandy Mitchell and her husband live on a small farm with three Great Danes, four cats, and a small flock of chickens, overseen by a ruthless rooster. More accurately, the rooster has a vendetta against one person, and the rest of the world is fine. Mandy’s husband? Not so fine. He is constantly bullied by the rooster. @mandymitchell50 #rooster #husband #funny #chicken ♬ Welp, Didn’t Expect That – Yu-Peng Chen & HOYO-MiX Meet Pecker, the ruthless rooster with a sworn vendetta against Mandy’s husband. The FedEx guy can pass without being bullied by the rooster. Pecker just stands on the porch rail, surveying his territory and keeping a watchful eye on his flock of hens. Later, when his nemesis returns, Pecker goes into attack mode. Chickens are direct descendants of dinosaurs. Pecker seems to embrace this genetic history with every fiber of his being. Sort of. He is as gentle as a hen with everyone else, but Mandy’s husband brings out the raptor in him. Velociraptor, that is. The little rooster has an attitude that is nine feet tall as he attacks the ankles of Mandy’s husband. Image from TikTok. It doesn’t matter that Pecker doesn’t actually stand a chance of winning. He ruthlessly attacks his foe to protect his flock. The Mitchells’ flock consists of Plymouth Rock chickens. The proud rooster, Pecker, is in charge, and he knows it. Plymouth Rock chickens have consistent traits, including hardiness, broodiness, docility, and the ability to produce brown eggs. Docility? Hmmm… let’s explore that. Stemming from the word “docile,” meaning easily taught, led, or managed. That description might fit other animals, but definitely not Pecker. Mandy’s husband will undoubtedly continue to be bullied by the rooster. Mandy assures fans that she will keep the camera rolling and post their hilarious encounters. Please share.

'Weaponize ethnic Chinese'

By the author of The Ultimate Guide to Frugal Living and What to Eat When You’re Broke There is one brutal truth about poverty that most people who aren’t experiencing it refuse to believe. And that truth is that it can happen to anyone. Any one of us could face a change in circumstances that turns everything we’ve worked for upside-down. You may have made the right decisions your entire life only to watch everything vanish. Our savings could be wiped out, our possessions destroyed, our health ruined, and our prospects dismal. Poverty can happen to anyone whether you want to admit it or not. Especially now. Many of us are unemployed or underemployed. We need a second mortgage to buy a cart full of groceries. Everything costs more money, and it’s really hard for some of us to get by. Having lived through these circumstances myself – and on more than one occasion – I cannot think back to a single purchase, decision, or error that singlehandedly caused my own fall from economic grace. Sure, I occasionally took my small children out for a Happy Meal at McDonald’s or bought them some candy at the checkout line in the grocery store. But when you’re talking about financial problems on the scale of losing your home or vehicle, a purchase of a few dollars here and there is unlikely to have been the entire cause of the catastrophe. Even the most obtuse person should be able to see this situation, look at the number of lost jobs and businesses that have gone under, and the increasing prices of food and rent, and say, wow, these people are facing true hard times because our economy is brutal right now. Well, that’s what you’d think. People who haven’t experienced poverty often lack compassion. But, as expected, many of the comments on these articles are less than compassionate. There’s something about the suffering of others that makes people want to put distance between themselves and those who are struggling to survive. To hear others tell the story from their lofty perches, anyone who has money problems blew all their money on tattoos they got during better times, on the cell phone contract they’re locked into that is the only way the school can reach them, or on the game system that Grandma bought for your children last Christmas. With their judgmental eagle eyes, they scour your photos on social media or your homes or your grocery cart and they look for reasons this is all your fault. Why? Because if they can somehow make hunger or poverty the other person’s fault, particularly through poor choices or character flaws, then they can assure themselves it could never happen to them. They can feel safe from the possibility of hunger, homelessness, or financial distress because they make better choices and they are better people. They can exclude the possibility of experiencing grave poverty because they’re not like that person they’re looking down on. Difficult financial times don’t mean you’re a bad or stupid person. I guess the reason I’m writing this article is that if you are suffering, I want you to know that there are people out there who understand.  I want you to know that it isn’t your fault and that isn’t a character flaw. Poverty itself is not a personality defect. Sure, there are some folks who are just lazy and don’t want to work. There are people who have various addictions that mean they have no money left for bills or food. There are reasons that some people will never be successful. But I don’t think the majority of people who are struggling necessarily fall into those categories. And that’s especially untrue for people who had what seemed like a stable job and a hefty emergency fund until Covid-19 rolled around and wiped out their employment and forced them to live off their emergency funds. Sometimes bad things happen to us. And when it does, we have to shrug off the cruel words of those who don’t understand and carry on. We have to find a way to survive our new circumstances. Here’s my advice. If your circumstances have changed dramatically, you may be reeling in shock. You may have found yourself in a position you never even imagined. Here are the things you should do to begin figuring your way out of this situation. And please keep in mind that these are not overnight solutions. You may struggle for a period of time, particularly given our economic forecast. Focus on what you can do, not on the grim predictions of the media. The economy in general is something that you personally cannot control. See where you’re at.  You need to identify exactly how bad your situation is. This article can help you audit your finances so you know exactly what’s coming in and what’s going out. Mentally adapt to your situation. It’s very important once you have those numbers down in black in white that you wrap your head around the situation. You need to adjust your thinking about the way you spend, what you can afford, and what is now out of reach. Here are some tips to help you mentally adapt. Prioritize where you spend your money. This means keeping a roof over your head, food in your kitchen, and in cases where you need it for work, a car in your driveway. This article can help you figure out what to do when you can’t pay your bills. Talk to your creditors. Next you need to contact your creditors. Otherwise you’re going to have the added stress of bill collectors calling you non-stop. Trust me, nobody needs that. Here’s a guide to talking to creditors. Make dramatic changes. You may be in a situation in which dramatic changes are required. This won’t be fun. It could mean giving up your home, giving up your car, moving in with a family member, taking your kids out of extracurriculars, and dialing everything back to pure survival. Here are some ways to reduce your fixed expenses. Talk to your kids. Explaining the new financial situation to your children is not an easy conversation. But it’s essential they know what’s going on so that you can all pull together to make things better.  Here’s how to break it to your kids that you’re broke. I’ve written about my own experiences with poverty in a PDF book called Lifestyles of the Flat Broke and Resilient. It’s gritty, raw, and the real truth about living one meal away from an empty pantry. This may be one of the biggest challenges you ever face. A change in financial circumstances can be devastating in many ways. it is a humbling experience like no other. Not only are the material things changed – and perhaps gone – forever, but it takes a massive toll on your self-esteem. The way other people may treat you won’t help that a bit. When I went through my own hard times, I could never decide which was worse, pity or scorn. Both are humiliating. But when you dig your way out of this – and you can and you will – you are going to possess a new kind of strength and compassion that can only be earned through trial by fire. You will be unstoppable. So hang in there. Keep your head high. And keep going. Have you ever experienced poverty? Do you have more month than money? Are things difficult for you? Are you one large financial surprise away from completely losing it all? Let’s discuss financial problems in the comments section. And let’s do so with compassion.

There’s something darkly funny about liberal journalists insisting any new focus on the Russiagate frenzy of 2017-19 is a “distraction” from their current obsession over President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. One can argue that their entire Russiagate obsession back then was a massive distraction from the actual business of America. Call it “The Story That Ate Trump’s Presidency.” We counted 2,284 minutes of Russiagate coverage just on the evening newscasts during Trump’s first two years in office. Now that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has reopened the window on their first-term obsession, they’re trying to ignore it. “The Daily” podcast at The New York Times summarized Gabbard’s new mission as “the sudden re-emergence of the Trump-Russia saga and what happens when the heads of the CIA, FBI, and [Justice Department] all turn their attention to the president’s domestic enemies.” That sounds undemocratic and dangerous? These journalists shamelessly pretend that they didn’t collude with their fellow liberals inside government agencies to undermine their domestic enemy Trump at every turn of his presidency. That’s not even mentioning the screws they put to Trump under President Joe Biden. New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt, a major promoter of the Russiagate frenzy, came to “fact-check” Gabbard. Perhaps because he’s part of the conspiracy to make Trump look like an illegitimate president, he insisted former President Barack Obama can’t be blamed for pushing the intelligence agencies to rush forward with a report on Trump before he took office. Schmidt claimed, “There’s nothing in that report, like an email from Obama to his intelligence community saying, ‘I don’t care what the evidence shows, we need to get Donald Trump’—that proves or shows or raises even questions about a larger treasonous conspiracy.” Podcast host Michael Barbaro underlined it: “There’s no evidence, it sounds like, of any kind, to suggest a conspiracy.” It was routine for Democrats and cable-news hotheads to accuse Trump of treason, but now it’s ridiculous to throw the charge back in their face. Why would they try this bizarre no-conspiracy line of argument at this very late date? They were all engaged in an obvious attempt to ruin Trump with the collusion delusion. Back before the first inauguration, the Times turned to Adam Jentleson, a top aide to retiring Senate Democrat leader Harry Reid, who threatened: “There’s not going to be a grace period this time because everybody on our side thinks he’s illegitimate and poses a massive threat.” That was the “Democracy Dies in Darkness” spirit that also moved the “objective” media. Now they struggle to move the goalposts. They no longer say Trump plotted with the Russian government. They pretend that this was all about the fact that the Russian government engaged in election interference. That’s not Trump colluding with foreign enemies. In school, they used to teach that journalism was defined as informing the public about what happened today, and who did it, where it happened, how and why. But what happened in Russia coverage was the “what has happened” part was routinely shunted aside in favor of prattling endlessly about the doom about to happen next. They talked about the serious crimes Mueller was going to find, or how Trump might fire Mueller, or the man who appointed Mueller, Rod Rosenstein. Collusion with Putin turned out to be a fantasy. Their reality was the constant speculation that Trump was illegitimately elected and would not finish his term. The “news” was political weather, perpetually floating black clouds over Trump’s head.

Scummy Professional Protesters Were Outside Annunciation Memorial to Heckle Vance

It’s pretty hilarious to read economic dunce-in-chief Paul Krugman squawk over President Donald Trump having supposedly worsened a housing crisis that the columnist’s beloved Bidenomics drastically exacerbated in the first place. Trump is reportedly considering declaring a national housing emergency later this year, as major unit shortages and high rates on 30-year fixed mortgages continue to rankle homebuyers. So, Krugman immediately took the opportunity to whip out his defective crystal ball — again — to predict Trump was going to wreck everything in a September 3 screed: Unfortunately, everything Trump is doing that affects housing availability will make the emergency worse. Remember, this is the same genius who spent months convincing readers that America would experience a Biden boom. When President Joe Biden’s spend-a-holic policies boomed America into an inflationary disaster, which also battered the housing market, Krugman called the Biden economy “successful, even if nobody will believe it.”  The funny thing is, Krugman didn’t even mention Biden’s name even once. In fact Krugman mentioned that “[o]ver the past decade home prices have risen much faster than the overall cost of living, so the popular perception that housing has become unaffordable is grounded in reality.” Four of those years were overseen by the self-dubbed “best president of” Krugman’s “adult life” (not that he cared anyway).  But the disgruntled economist was adamant that “Trump’s non-housing policies will discourage home construction. Nothing says ‘make housing cheaper’ like imposing a 35 percent tariff on imports of Canadian lumber and deporting many of the immigrant workers crucial to the U.S. construction industry.” In a co-authored piece published May 2024, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts and economist EJ Antoni analyzed that the median home price had skyrocketed a whopping 114.5 percent since Biden had taken office. The culprit? Oh yeah, the government Krugman loves so much: When the Treasury ran multi-trillion-dollar deficits year after year, the Federal Reserve stepped in and created the money to finance that borrowing. The result was a massive devaluation of the dollar, at the fastest pace in four decades. In turn, the Fed’s manipulation of interest rates led to artificially low borrowing costs, which then amplified the increase in home prices as would-be buyers bid up sales prices. But Krugman, completely oblivious to his own hypocrisy, scoffed at the Trump administration’s statements on the housing emergency: “If we’re lucky, they’ll turn out to be empty rhetoric, an attempt to pretend to be doing something ahead of the midterms.”  Is this what Biden was doing when he proposed insane rent controls just before the 2024 presidential election, Krugman, or were you just too busy licking his boots to say anything about it?  What a flaming hypocrite.
