CBS Reporters Lose Their Feeble Little Minds at Argentina’s ‘Far Right’ President-Elect

CBS Reporters Lose Their Feeble Little Minds at Argentina’s ‘Far Right’ President-Elect

Monday’s CBS Mornings aired a scathing report on Argentina’s new president-elect‚ Javier Milei‚ in which senior political correspondent Ed O’Keefe shamelessly smeared Milei from every angle imaginable. Co-anchor Tony Dokoupil led off the segment with a hearty dose of well-poisoning: Argentina is waking up to a new president‚ one who has the stamp of approval from Donald Trump. Coming from the far right Javier Milei won a convincing victory in yesterday's presidential election with a promise to sharply cut government spending and tackle the country's worst economic crisis in decades. Says he'll bring a chainsaw to the economy. In fact‚ he brought a chainsaw to many of his campaign rallies as a prop. Also‚ he cloned his dog‚ that’s what he’s known for. Ed O’Keefe has this strange story. The CBS segment alone was a doozy‚ but for a general sense of how the entire corporate media are coping with Milei (not very well at all)‚ watch this compilation:     In twenty short seconds‚ Doukopil tied Milei to Trump (akin to political cancer in journalist world)‚ smeared him as far-right (a synonym for “bad”)‚ and painted him as an unhinged‚ chainsaw-wielding mad scientist. That’s a lot of stealth editorializing for just the introduction to a news report‚ but O’Keefe’s portion was no less derisive. O’Keefe repeated the far-right smear‚ in case some viewers hadn’t caught on that CBS was instructing them to dislike Milei. He then portrayed the new president-elect as an inexperienced buffoon at the helm of a massive and precarious economy: “Milei‚ far right economist and television personality‚ joined the political fray just three years ago. Now‚ he’s in charge of the third largest economy in Latin America as it teeters on the edge of disaster.” This is the same angle we just saw in a Washington Post piece‚ which blamed the election of a “Trump-like radical” with “no governing experience” on an irrational “wave of voter rage.” Because‚ as all good journalists know‚ right-wing candidates only win by appealing to the irrational negative emotions of clueless voters. O’Keefe continued: “[Milei]  became known for his unorthodox showmanship  during the campaign‚ wielding at a chain saw to symbolize his war on government spending‚ threatening vital public services…” Vital according to whom‚ Ed? … and printing a picture of a U.S. Dollar bill with his face on it — part of a widely criticized campaign to use the U.S. Dollar as Argentina's currency. Widely criticized by whom‚ Ed? The self-described anarcho-capitalist has also advocated for eliminating the country's central bank. Milei's controversial tirades against the political class have drawn comparisons to former president Jair Bolsonaro‚ as well as former President Donald Trump. Controversial to whom‚ Ed? You get the idea. O’Keefe was employing a rather pernicious form of circular reporting‚ in which journalists all air the same series of grievances in unison‚ and then cite that unified whining as proof that the subject of their reporting has been “widely criticized.” The result is a false perception by viewers that “this is what everybody thinks‚” when in reality‚ “everybody” is merely a bunch of talking heads wringing their hands in front of teleprompters because somebody they personally dislike has attained political power in a country they’re not from. For a full transcript of the segment‚ click "expand" below: CBS Mornings November 20‚ 2023 8:14 — 8:16 a.m. ET TONY DUKOPIL: Argentina is waking up to a new president‚ one who has the stamp of approval from Donald Trump. Coming from the far right Javier Milei won a convincing victory in yesterday's presidential election with a promise to sharply cut government spending and tackle the country's worst economic crisis in decades. Says he'll bring a chainsaw to the economy. In fact‚ he brawn a chainsaw to many of his campaign rallies as a prop. Also‚ he cloned his dog‚ that’s what he’s known for. Ed O’keefe has this strange story. ED O’KEEFE: A massive political shakeup in Argentina. Javier Milei‚ far right economist and television personality‚ joined the political fray just three years ago. Now‚ he's in charge of the third largest economy in Latin America as it teeters on the edge of disaster. Milei rode to power on a wave of popular discontent over a stagnating economy with 40% poverty rate‚ and inflation nearing 140%. This woman said she supports Milei because she's looking for change in Argentina‚ a country she says has been suffering from years of decadence. He became known for his unorthodox showmanship  during the campaign‚ wielding at a chain saw to symbolize his war on government spending‚ threatening vital public services‚ and printing a picture of a U.S. Dollar bill with his face on it. Part of a widely criticized campaign to use the U.S. Dollar as Argentina's currency. The self-described anarcho-capitalist has also advocated for eliminating the country's central bank. Milei's controversial tirades against the political class have drawn comparisons to former president Jair Bolsonaro‚ as well as former President Donald Trump‚ who sent congratulations to Milei on Truth Social saying‚ he will “make Argentina great again.”

Transgender Day of Remembrance is Both Honored and Bashed Online

Transgender Day of Remembrance is Both Honored and Bashed Online

Isn’t it ironic that Transgender Day of Remembrance falls on President Joe Biden’s birthday? November 20th not only marks Biden’s birthday (81 this year) but also the Transgender Day of Remembrance‚ which aims to remember transgender people that died due to acts of “transgender violence.” In response to the news‚ there were mixed reviews.  Of course‚ there was a plethora of responses honoring the day in celebration of transgender delusions.  As a matter of fact‚ the topic became trending on Twitter/X and received tens of thousands of posts. Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-Fla.) wrote‚ “On this Transgender Day of Remembrance‚ we honor the lives lost to anti-trans hate. In the face of oppressive bans on gender-affirming care and attacks on trans joy by Republican extremists—we stand strong for our trans siblings in FL.” “On Transgender Day of Remembrance‚ we remember all transgender people who have  been killed‚ simply for living as their authentic selves‚" Sen. Bob Casey (D-Penn.) wrote. "I will always stand with the transgender community and support policies to end discrimination against them.” The Arlington Public School District in northern Virginia even honored the day and posted a graphic about history and stats of violence against transgender people. Great to know that our public school systems in Virginia are focused on the right things.  Even Catholics for Choice‚ a group of pro-abortion “Catholics‚” expressed support for transgender people.  Biden himself even released a statement. The president grieved the 26 transgender American people who were tragically killed last year. In his statement‚ Biden proclaimed his administration’s commitment to transgender people and said‚ "As we mourn the loss of transgender Americans taken too soon this year‚ we must also recommit ourselves to never stop fighting until all Americans can live free from discrimination." While I absolutely do not condone violence against anyone innocent‚ if we have a day that remembers people solely because of who or what they identify as‚ then we should have a day that mourns those whose lives were lost as a result of someone living in a delusion like transgenderism. We should also have a day that mourns the loss of innocent babies in the womb and a day that mourns the loss of people based on their religious convictions‚ etc. But a day that mourns the loss of people who lived in a delusional sense of reality? I mean‚ come on.  But that’s the thing‚ innocent babies and religious freedom? That’s not important to the left - wokeness is.  “How can we have a 'Transgender Day of Remembrance' if they don’t let us forget about it for 5 minutes‚” one user wrote. I mean‚ after all‚ transgender people are professional victims. Another said‚ “Happy 'Transgender day of Remembrance' where we remember transgenderism is a mental disorder and people can't actually change their gender.” One more added‚ “I regret to inform you that today is the 'Transgender Day of Remembrance' so expect every woke corporation‚ political party‚ school and media outlet to put out some pithy statement." The user shared images of the six innocent people‚ three of whom were children‚  that were killed due to a transgender person's mental confusion in Nashville.  A few even posted images of the other transgender or non-binary people who ended up being fatal shooters. There’s no national remembrance day for the lives that were ended in those fatal shootings.  This made up holiday is just another lame excuse to prop up the woke mob. While any innocent life lost is a tragedy‚ instead of acknowledging that and continuing to encourage people to live a delusional sense of identity‚ let’s teach them about reality.  Honestly‚ while I of course feel bad for those who did lose their lives and wish that wasn't the case‚ this “holiday” is embarrassing.

EXCLUSIVE: FCC Commissioner Paints Harrowing Picture of Biden’s New Power Grab

While the Federal Communications Commission voted to adopt the Biden administration’s sweeping internet regulation wishlist‚ Commissioner Brendan Carr‚ a Republican appointee‚ dissented from the overwhelming overreach.  The FCC made a massive power grab on Nov. 16  when it voted to adopt rules that would effectively manage the minute details of how internet service providers operate. In exclusive comments with MRC Free Speech America Friday‚ Carr described his dissent and why he is so concerned by the FCC’s new rules for the internet. “It’s just all about control‚” he said. “The government is going to have the veto power for the first time ever over the very Internet infrastructure itself and I think that’s concerning.  We need to be in a world in which the internet infrastructure itself is effectively cancel-proof when it comes to the federal government.” Carr stressed that the level of control the federal government is exercising is “unprecedented.” He explained‚ “Before now‚ the government wasn’t in a position to dictate to your local [Internet service provider] where they should build internet infrastructure; on what terms they should build internet infrastructure; who they can serve; who they can’t serve. Those were all things that were‚ up to now‚ were essentially beyond the reach of the government itself.”  In his dissenting statement‚ Carr explained the Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) flair to the recent FCC rule “digital equity” developments. “Even in the absence of any evidence of intentional discrimination‚ the Biden plan states the FCC can impose potentially unbounded liability if the agency finds that some act or even failure to act happened to result in a disparate impact based on the FCC’s own judgment‚” Carr wrote. He gave the examples of the FCC potentially prohibiting companies from “charging a uniform price to all consumers or running credit checks because those actions would necessarily have a disparate impact on low-income consumers.” Well‚ surprise‚ surprise. In a last minute edit‚ the Biden Administration secured an exemption from the government’s new “digital equity” rule for . . . itself. That’s right. The Biden Administration does not want to be bound by the requirements of the “digital equity” law… pic.twitter.com/MYTFmpxQty — Brendan Carr (@BrendanCarrFCC) November 17‚ 2023 Although it isn’t immediately clear whether the rules could be weaponized against free speech‚ Carr warned about the dangers of allowing government overreach. “Once the government has a power‚ there’s very few if any cases that the government does not use and then at some point abuse that power‚” he added. “I think we would be far better off from an individual liberty perspective if the government did not have the power that it has given itself.” He referred to the fact the decision will allow the FCC to regulate internet speeds and where internet infrastructure can and cannot be built.  Despite the disturbing power grab‚ Carr was optimistic about the future of these rules noting that the FCC decided to “delay the enforcement of some of the more pernicious aspects of this decision for six months.” He added that the decision may even be appealed in court. “I am hoping that some of the most overreaching elements of this can be paired back by courts before it even goes into effect‚” said Carr.

Are All White Cats Deaf? Vet-Reviewed Facts &; FAQ

Are All White Cats Deaf? Vet-Reviewed Facts &; FAQ

Since white cats are commonly linked to deafness‚ it’s natural that prospective parents of white cats might be concerned about these cats’ auditory health. While it’s true that all-white cats are at higher risk of deafness than cats of other colors‚ it’s not true that every single white cat is deaf. Let’s explore this further. Deafness in White Cats: The Numbers Research has been conducted on the issue of hereditary deafness in white cats‚ and it was discovered that 17% to 22% of non-blue-eyed white cats are born deaf.1 As for white cats with one blue eye‚ 40% are born deaf‚ and the most likely white cats to be born deaf are those with two blue eyes. 65%–85% of these cats experience deafness‚ which is a pretty huge number. This research shows that‚ while deafness is especially prevalent in blue-eyed‚ white cats and‚ to a lesser extent‚ in cats with non-blue eyes or one blue eye‚ not every white cat will be born deaf. Image Credit: Kanashi‚ Pixabay What Causes Deafness in White Cats? In cats that inherit deafness‚ degeneration takes place in the inner ear shortly after a kitten is born. This is caused by an autosomal dominant gene (W) that results in a white coat and‚ in some cases‚ deafness because it’s a multi-effective gene (pleiotropic). Every cat with this gene will be born white‚ but not necessarily born deaf because the gene’s penetrance for deafness and blue eyes is what’s termed “incomplete”. Cats affected by deafness can experience deafness in both ears or‚ in some cases‚ in just one ear. The 5 Interesting Facts About Deafness in White Cats 1. Deafness Can Be Very Subtle If you have a white deaf cat‚ you may never know that they’re deaf because it’s not always obvious‚ especially if the cat is only deaf in one ear. Signs to look out for include not responding to their name or to toys that make a noise (like a squeaker toy)‚ sleeping through loud‚ sudden noises like bangs‚ having an extra keen sense of smell‚ sensitivity to temperature‚ and sleeping a lot. Image Credit: Itsra Sanprasert‚ Shutterstock 2. There Are Multiple Causes of Deafness Deafness can be genetically inherited‚ or it can be caused by other factors‚ including certain medications‚ toxins‚ infectious diseases‚ tumors in the ear‚ injury to the ear‚ and ear inflammation. Older cats also become more prone to deafness. 3. Cats Deaf in One Ear Have a Special Trait If a cat has one blue eye and is deaf in one ear‚ the deaf ear will be on the same side as the blue eye. 4. Deaf Cats Can Live Happy Lives Being deaf doesn’t stop a cat from enjoying a long‚ happy life and being a wonderful companion to you. You can contribute to this by ensuring your deaf cat stays indoors‚ as roaming outdoors could open them up to a number of dangers—even more so than cats with full hearing. For example‚ deaf cats can’t hear approaching cars and potential predators. 5. You Can Still Communicate with Your Deaf Cat Though your cat can’t hear you‚ you can get your cat’s attention via the vibrations made when you move. For example‚ if you want to wake up your cat‚ you can move something on the couch. This causes a vibration that your cat will be able to feel. Cats can also feel vibrations caused when you clap or stomp your feet‚ so you can perform these actions if you need to get their attention. The most important thing to remember is that you should never approach a deaf cat from the back when they have no idea you’re coming—this could seriously startle them. Visual cues (like motioning the cat to come to you) can also help you communicate with your deaf cat. Image Credit: New Africa‚ Shutterstock Final Thoughts To recap‚ not all white cats are deaf‚ but inherited deafness is certainly prevalent in white cats‚ especially those with two blue eyes. Nevertheless‚ this doesn’t mean that a deaf cat can’t make an amazing friend and enjoy a great quality of life‚ so don’t let deafness put you off adopting a lovely white kitty!

Obama's winning campaign strategist tells the truth about Biden's re-election odds — and spares no feelings

Democratic political strategist David Axelrod believes President Joe Biden's odds of winning re-election are 50/50 at best.Two weeks ago‚ Axelrod made headlines when he suggested that Biden should reconsider whether running for re-election is best for the country and for him‚ an aging grandfather now in his ninth decade of life. That blunt analysis followed a New York Times/Sienna College poll that showed Biden is trailing Donald Trump in five of six key battleground states‚ all six of which Biden won in 2020.Biden responded by allegedly calling Axelrod a "prick‚" criticism Axelrod shrugged off."I don't care about them thinking I'm a prick — that's fine‚" Axelrod told New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. "I hope they don't think the polls are wrong because they're not."More importantly‚ the man who led Barack Obama to two consecutive White House terms doubled down on his assessment of Biden's re-election chances. In his interview with Dowd‚ Axelrod reminded Democrats that not long ago‚ they nominated a mediocre candidate and believed that victory against Donald Trump was an afterthought."I think he has a 50-50 shot here‚ but no better than that‚ maybe a little worse‚" Axelrod said. "He thinks he can cheat nature here‚ and it's really risky. "They've got a real problem if they're counting on Trump to win it for them. I remember Hillary doing that‚ too‚" he recounted.Axelrod's right. The Democratic Party believes that because Biden defeated Trump once‚ he will do it again. The problem‚ however‚ is that Americans have seen the fruit of the Biden agenda — and it has left a sour taste in their mouths. Biden's weaknesses‚ especially on the economy‚ have allowed Trump to edge Biden in the polls. That is significant because despite remaining in a statistical tie with Biden at the moment‚ Trump trailed Biden by a notable margin in the run-up to the 2020 election.With Trump sitting in the driver's seat — at least right now — Dowd offered Biden blunt advice: Don't dismiss people like Axelrod."[Biden] should not indulge the Irish chip on his shoulder. He needs to gather the sharpest minds in his party and hear what they have to say‚ not engage in petty feuds‚" Dowd wrote in her column. Like Blaze News?

CBS anchor ends interview when GOP lawmaker gives perfect reason Biden should face 'consequences' for classified docs scandal

CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan ended an interview with Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) on Sunday when he explained why President Joe Biden should face consequences for retaining classified documents.Several news outlets reported last week that special counsel Robert Hur‚ appointed to investigate Biden's retention of classified documents at his post-vice presidential office in Washington and his personal residence in Delaware‚ will conclude his investigation giving the president nothing more than a public scolding for violating laws prohibiting the improper retention of classified documents.On "Face the Nation‚" Brennan asked what signal not charging Biden sends to the "national security world." Turner‚ chairman of the House Intelligence Committee‚ made clear it's not a good one."This will be certainly devastating‚ continuing to be devastating‚ for the Department of Justice and to the Biden administration with their two-tier system of justice‚" he said. "Biden has been found to be a serial classified document hoarder. Over a 10-year period‚ he's been taking classified documents — some of the most sensitive that threaten our national security — home without any protection‚ and certainly able for others to be able to access them‚" Turner explained.If Biden is let off scot-free‚ Turner said it will be clear that leaders of only one party face consequences for improper retention and storage of classified information."There needs to be consequences‚" he said. "The fact that Hillary Clinton‚ who had over 100 classified documents at home when she was secretary of state‚ and Vice President Biden‚ both under Obama at the same time‚ were taking classified documents home and certainly had them be vulnerable‚ with no consequences‚ shows the Department of Justice is not pursuing Democrats."It was at that point that Brennan attempted to defend Biden‚ suggesting that Donald Trump did worse and therefore the double standard is justified."As you know‚ there is a difference with the case against President Trump‚ who refused to hand over documents fully and violated the Espionage Act — that's the charge against him — because he didn't work with the government to hand those over‚" the anchor said.But Turner made it clear that Trump's alleged wrongdoing does not absolve Biden's."As you know‚ Margaret‚ Biden had these documents for over 10 years‚" Turner snapped back."You can't hoard documents in your home for a decade-long period‚ concealing them‚ taking them home as a senator‚ vice president‚ and then suddenly say‚ 'Hey‚ two weeks while I was president‚ I cooperated and‚ therefore‚ it doesn't count that I spent 10 years as a serial classified document hoarder‚'" he added.And with that‚ Brennan ended the interview.

PM Netanyahu and Mark Levin talk war‚ Hamas‚ and the Iranian war machine

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is leading a country with the only military — to Mark Levin’s knowledge — that is trained not to kill civilians. But the “corrupt‚ pathetic American media” isn’t going to tell you that. Which is why Levin is sitting down with Netanyahu himself. “How is the war progressing‚ and is Israel winning?” Levin asks Netanyahu. “The war is progressing well‚ and we’re going to win. We have no other choice‚” he tells Levin. “Coincidentally‚” he adds‚ “there are fewer civilian casualties because we called on the civilian population in Gaza to leave.” While Netanyahu is trying to save the civilians of Gaza‚ Hamas has attempted to stop them from leaving at gunpoint. According to Netanyahu‚ Hamas is “actually using gunfire to prevent them from leaving the zones of battle.” Despite Hamas’ best efforts‚ those civilians still left. “And so the number of civilians is actually‚ those that are killed‚ is going down. The number of terrorists is going up‚” Netanyahu explains. “This is a battle of the forces of civilization against the forces of barbarism‚ and if barbarism wins in our part of the world‚ Europe will be next and America will be next‚” he warns. Netanyahu calls this barbaric force “the axis of terror‚” which includes Iran‚ Hamas‚ Hezbollah‚ and “other minions.” “Israel is fighting our war‚ but it’s also fighting America’s war. It’s fighting your war‚ and our victory will be your victory‚” he continues. Netanyahu notes that if the people of America had been concerned about civilian casualties in areas where Allies were fighting Nazis during World War II‚ we wouldn’t have seen the victory we did. “History would have been catastrophic if we didn’t keep our eye focused on who’s to blame‚” he says. “We have to get the simple things straight. While Israel is doing everything in its power to keep civilians out of harm's way‚ Hamas is doing everything in its power to keep civilians in harm’s way.” Want more from Mark Levin?To enjoy more of "the Great One"—Mark Levin as you've never seen him before—subscribe to BlazeTV—the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America‚ defend the Constitution and live the American dream.

Denver spent nearly $4.5 million to transport migrants out of state

Denver spent nearly $4.5 million to transport migrants out of state

Over the last year‚ Denver‚ Colorado‚ spent nearly $4.5 million to transport over 12‚000 migrants to other states‚ CBS News reported.A spreadsheet obtained by the news outlet revealed that Denver purchased plane‚ bus‚ and train tickets to relocate migrants to nearly every major city in the nation. The majority of the migrants were sent to Chicago‚ New York‚ and Salt Lake City‚ the document showed. Roughly 1‚000 migrants were relocated to Texas and Florida. Others were sent to smaller towns‚ such as Wilson‚ North Carolina. Jon Ewing‚ a spokesperson for Denver Human Services‚ told CBS News‚ "We say‚ 'Where do you want to go?' and then we buy them a ticket‚ usually by bus‚ and get them on their way.""We feel that it's the right thing to do to get them to where they actually want to be‚" Ewing continued. "If you looked at it in crude financial terms‚ meaning‚ if they stayed here for a few weeks and didn't even want to be here‚ then we'd be paying to support and shelter them here and they didn't even want to be here."Ewing claimed that Denver relocating migrants to other cities differs from Texas busing migrants out of state‚ which received criticism from Democratic leaders. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott stated that 6‚600 asylum-seeking migrants have been bused to Colorado since May.Ewing said‚ "The difference is we're actually asking them where they want to go." However‚ the DHS spokesperson noted that Denver‚ like Texas‚ is also not informing other cities or states before dropping the migrants off at a new destination."There's just no way for us to coordinate on that scale. It's just unfeasible. And it's only for one or two tickets‚ often‚ per day‚" he claimed.Over the last five months‚ Denver has spent roughly $115‚000 on plane tickets. Since December‚ the city has spent $31 million addressing the migrant crisis‚ Ewing stated."We need support here. Denver cannot do this alone‚" he added.A spokesperson for the city's government told Fox News Digital that individuals who wish to stay in Denver are being provided shelter and support."However‚ we also understand that many individuals arriving in Denver from the southern border have other destinations in mind‚" the spokesperson continued. "This is often because they have built-in support systems from family and friends in those cities‚ or because they believe they will have a better chance at finding work that suits their skills."Denver Democratic Mayor Mike Johnston joined fellow Democratic mayors‚ including Chicago's Brandon Johnson‚ Los Angeles' Karen Bass‚ Houston's Sylvester Turner‚ and New York City's Eric Adams‚ to request $5 billion "to cover the expenditures our cities have already incurred" from the migrant crisis "and to continue serving the growing number of people arriving in our communities.""The crisis is we have folks here who desperately want to work. And we have employers here who desperately want to hire them. And we have a federal government that's standing in the way of employers who want to hire employees who want to work‚" Johnston stated.Like Blaze News?

'This‚ to me‚ is why Trump is winning': Bill Maher blasts Dems' speedy San Francisco cleanup for China's President Xi

Bill Maher criticized the city of San Francisco and the government of California after the city's usually dirty streets were cleaned up ahead of a state visit by China's President Xi.Maher told his panel on "Real Time with Bill Maher" how San Francisco miraculously cleaned up as it welcomed the Chinese leader‚ President Biden‚ and other foreign dignitaries recently."President Xi of China came to our state this week and met with Biden up in San Francisco‚ and they had a little summit‚" Maher explained. "They did something very interesting in San Francisco; I have done many‚ many jokes‚ as many comedians have‚ about stepping in poop in San Francisco‚ and you know‚ it's a city that needs to be put under control‚" he continued."So they did! Because Xi was coming! Put aside the fact that you only clean up when company is coming over. Okay‚ so they cleaned it up‚ [they took] vagrants off the street‚ the homeless ... God forbid the guy who sends us the fentanyl sees somebody on fentanyl." Bill Maher on the cleanup for APEC‚ fentanyl‚ and specifically China President Xi -->; "God forbid the guy who sends us the fentanyl sees someone on fentanyl..." — (@) Maher then explained that he felt this to be one of the reasons why Biden has fallen behind President Trump in the polls."I want to try a theory out on you why Trump is killing it — not just within the party‚ but he's beating Biden heavily too‚" Maher said‚ according to the Washington Examiner."This‚ to me‚ is why Trump is winning‚ because he talks about‚ 'I'm going to open up the mental hospitals.' Again‚ I'm not saying these are necessarily a good solution‚" Maher went on. "When he talks‚ 'I'm gonna put people in camps‚ the immigrants‚' all this kind of stuff‚ and people just see a place — a country‚ especially in the cities that look out of control. And the fact that the Democrats could control it for three days‚ how about making it permanent?" he asked.Despite attempts to clear drug addicts‚ garbage‚ excrement‚ and the city's nearly 8‚000 homeless from downtown San Francisco‚ a foreign reporter was still robbed at gunpoint.Czech reporter Bohumil Vostal was in town for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit when he was swarmed by three masked men‚ according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "They were heading at my camera man‚ aiming a gun at his stomach‚ and one at my head‚" the reported recalled.The armed robbers made off with more than $18‚000 worth of equipment.Comedian Maher also joked about President Biden's upcoming 81st birthday‚ calling it an occasion that is "very bad politically.""We've never had a president who's 81. Doesn't mean he can't do it‚ I'm just saying. I like the guy‚ but I'm just saying if Joe Biden was a balcony I wouldn't step out on him for a smoke."Like Blaze News?

Los Angeles police said they're on the hunt for 20-year-old Dashawn Dow‚ who has been arrested for robbery five times in the last 18 months — but managed to post bond after each arrest. Now cops said Dow is wanted in connection with two additional robberies that took place last month. What are the details? Police said detectives have identified Dow as a suspect in follow-home violent robberies in the Los Angeles area. In the first incident‚ surveillance video recorded a grey Maserati following a male and female into the parking structure of their North Hollywood apartment complex around 1:30 p.m. Oct. 2‚ police said. As the victims exited their vehicle‚ two armed suspects demanded the victims' property‚ police said. Fearing for their lives‚ the victims complied with the suspects’ demands‚ after which the suspects fled with the victims’ money and jewelry‚ police said. In the second incident‚ police said two black males confronted a male and female in the parking structure of their North Hollywood apartment complex around 12:10 a.m. Oct. 10. One of the suspects tried to forcibly remove the victim’s watch from his wrist‚ police said. When the victim resisted‚ the other suspect pressed a gun against the victim's chest. Fearing for his life‚ the victim gave up his property‚ and the suspects ran to a waiting getaway vehicle‚ police said. Detectives believe Dow was involved in both incidents and that he used a gun while doing so‚ police said‚ adding that he's presently at large and should be considered armed and dangerous. Police said they're asking anyone with information regarding Dow to contact Detectives Mrakich and Delph at 213-486-6840 or email them at RHDTIPLINE@lapd.online. During non-business hours or on weekends‚ calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (1-877-527-3247)‚ police said‚ adding that anyone wishing to remain anonymous should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477).

Fox News‚ citing the most recent data‚ said robberies have dropped by about 8% through Oct. 28 this year compared to last year; but robberies remain about 5% higher than they were in 2021‚ the cable news network added‚ citing LAPD statistics. Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment‚ Fox News reported‚ adding that in a debate last week with Democrat primary challengers Gascon called the issue of rising crime in L.A. "fake news." "The policies of George Gascon have failed us all‚" Jonathan Hatami — a deputy district attorney who works for Gascon but is running against him in next year's election — told the cable news network. "No consequences and no accountability just emboldens individuals like Dow." Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
