DSA LA candidate caught in shocking hypocrisy, breaks own party’s rules

A socialist who sells herself as a champion of struggling renters in Los Angeles is secretly living a life of luxury, the California Post can reveal.

Faizah Malik, 41, the Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidate challenging moderate Councilmember Traci Park, 50, on Los Angeles’ Westside with a campaign centered on rent reform and housing affordability, lives in a sprawling, $2.5 million mansion in Venice Beach.

The sprawling home sits on a 5,780-square-foot lot with a private enclosed yard, with sun-drenched interiors and high-end finishes throughout.

It has an all-white kitchen with stainless steel appliances, multiple bedrooms opening onto private balconies and a deck designed for outdoor dining, a rare luxury in the expensive enclave.

The property is tucked inside Penmar, near the Penmar Golf Course, a neighborhood of single-family homes where prices typically start at $1.7 million and climb to $4 million.

A Zillow listing has the property’s rental estimate at $8,000 a month, a far cry from the struggling renters she claims she will represent.

The average Angeleno pays up to $3,000 a month for a place to live, according to a March rental market trends report by Zumper.

Only 9 percent pay more than $6,000 a month for rent.

But when The Post contacted Malik, her spokeswoman suggested she too was feeling the squeeze: “On the Westside, there are renters that are in every possible financial situation, and there are homeowners who are feeling enormous financial pressure as well.

Mamdani’s “COGE” commission to prepare deeper cuts to New York City social programs and regulations

On Thursday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the formation of a Committee on Government Efficiency (COGE) to examine the New York City Charter for efficiencies: that is, to search for ways in which social programs can be cut.

“The Commission on Government Efficiency will take a hard look at how City government functions and identify the reforms we need to deliver faster, smarter and more effectively for working people,” Mamdani told the media.

The Charter is essentially New York City’s constitution. It defines what authority belongs to the mayor and other officials and what to the City Council; laws, timelines and mandatory minimum rules for city reserve funds; the multi-step public review process required to build housing, change zoning laws or approve major infrastructure; and the scope, duties and enforcement powers of every city department.

The Charter does not control funding but does dictate the operational rules that heavily control, protect or limit social spending. For example, the Charter legally mandates the existence of agencies like the Department of Social Services and the Human Resources Administration, which a mayor cannot simply abolish to save money. The Charter also sets the exact legal procedures for how the city buys goods and hires outside nonprofits to run homeless shelters, daycare centers and after-school programs.

All The British Government Does Is Ask ‘Who Can We Tax to Give Benefits to Others’, Mandelson-Epstein Scandal Papers Reveal

A document dump released by the British government because of the Peter Mandelson-Jeffrey Epstein scandal has revealed extensive private conversations among top Labour figures, including one that reveals tunnel-vision obsession with tax raids to pay for endless welfare giveaways.

Internal messages from inside the British Labour government have once again revealed the remarkable perspicacity with which select top figures are able to assess and recognise their own shortcomings and articulate among themselves — when they believe they are speaking in private confidence — precisely what their critics observe in public. Among over 1,500 pages of government text messages and emails released as part of the long tail fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein emails released in the United States, which brought down the British ambassador Peter Mandelson, is a remarkable smoking gun of an exchange where a top Labour figure admits the only real driving force of the government is endless tax extraction to prop up the welfare state.

In a conversation between Peter Mandelson, during his time as ambassador, and Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Pat McFadden, days after a punishing election defeat in May 2025, the pair discuss internal debates within the governing Labour Party. Reflecting on the mood, McFadden messaged Mandelson to say he had observed a “lot of manoeuvring here this week… Doesn’t feel good for Keir”.

Responding, Peter Mandelson, while he apparently enjoyed significant influence from Washington over the workings of the British government back home, led with criticism of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, and said: “Keir is not leading from the front… does he even realise? The [Parliamentary Labour Party, I] gather is in mutinous state”. McFadden replied in turn: “Yes. Every meeting I have is ‘who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others’. They’re asking the wrong questions”.

This revelation of the state of the most senior Labour ministers by a consummate insider is politically radioactive for Labour, given it confirms some of the very most damaging accusations made about it by its political rivals; that its rapacious appetite for tax revenue to fund the welfare state is in part a result of open borders and government failures, while at the same time destroying the economy.

‘The Mad & The Free’: Can American Society Debate Its Way Out Of Psychosis?

Psychodrama

“A sane society cannot debate its way out of psychosis. It must diagnose the patient with lethal precision and restore the ancient boundary between the mad and the free.”

– LHGrey on X

When you watch video of the shenanigans at the Delaney Hall ICE building in Newark, NJ, you must suspect you’re seeing a hopped-up political vaudeville act. Freaky as the “protesters” may be — with their tatts and piercings, gummi bear hair color, rolls of blubber, perpetually hoisted cell phones, drums, whistles, and pitiful umbrellas — they are no less actors than Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney out in Hollywood.

The Delaney Hall mobbers are allegedly paid by someone or some entity. You’d think the authorities and the news media would be racing to find out who that is. But, so far, no official announcements and, wouldn’t you know, The New York Times did not even report on doings over there in its Monday morning edition.

Independent reporter Nick Sortor, undercover in Antifi garb, discovered their “craft services” tent adjacent to the action in the industrial wasteland where Delaney Hall stands next to the reeking Passaic River.

The tent was full of riot gear, tactical supplies, snacks, energy drinks, hot meals (lasagna!) delivered on the hour, first aid supplies, and other “protester necessities,” as if the siege of Delaney Hall was a major Hollywood production shoot.

Anyway, after days of freaks and geeks playacting “oppression” at Delaney Hall, the New Jersey riot cops showed up, including the mounted cavalry, and stuffed several busloads with arrested “protesters,” many of them from out-of-state. Did they bother to interview the folks manning the craft services tent to inquire what organization was paying for all the merch? Isn’t it about time for whoever is signing those checks to get indicted for fomenting and abetting insurrection?

The Democratic Party is reduced to psychodrama, and the nature of psychodrama is that it’s about nothing — nothing real, at least. It’s all concocted sound-and-fury to give the (false) impression that some injustice is occurring. In the case of Delaney Hall, a holding facility for illegal border-jumpers awaiting deportation, the alleged injustice is “unsanitary conditions, inadequate food, poor medical care, and physical and psychological torture.” In reality, conditions there are arguably better than the average Motel 8. Many of the inmates are murderers and rapists, of course, the worst of the worst.

You might suppose that the objective of the melodrama at Delaney Hall was to create another martyr a la Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti out in Minneapolis this past winter.

Those two unfortunate dupes were induced by the party script to FAFO, leading to their tragic and pointless deaths. Alas, the incidents failed to incite the sort of national uprising that the Lefty-left will not stop seeking.

And now summer is nearly here and (the old song goes) “the time is right for dancing in the streets.” Or, rather, fighting in the streets.

The time is also right for the FBI and the DOJ to shut down the funny money supply line for it, and it’s hard to figure now how they might fail to do that.

The Delaney Hall arrests give them a vast opportunity to debrief the players, find out exactly how these stunts are being organized.

To see exactly how much nothing the Democratic Party stands for, you need only get a load of the California primary campaigns, with the election to be held tomorrow (Tuesday June 2).

This Is How Leftists React To Facts…

When presented with uncomfortable irrefutable statistics on migrant crime, those on the left don’t debate—they threaten violence and scream about history as an excuse for chaos today.

That’s exactly what unfolded outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, Saunday. GB News chief US correspondent Ben Leo was on the ground covering anti-ICE protests—already marked by days of clashes, a hunger strike by detainees, and assaults on officers—when he calmly laid out basic facts about illegal migrant crime patterns in the UK while engaging with the ‘protesters’.

The furious black nationalist got inches from Leo’s face, accused Brits of colonizing the world “through rape, murder and pillaging,” and warned he was “holding everything back not to break your f***ing jaw.”

Leo stood his ground without flinching. Lurking right behind the seething guy, a spectacled soy leftist pathetically attempted to pile on, weakly joining the intimidation effort by demanding Leo “go back to your country”—the height of irony at an open-borders rally.

The incident, captured on video and shared widely, shows how facts about immigration enforcement trigger outright rage from open-borders activists. While ICE works to secure America’s borders under policies prioritizing law and order, protesters treat any challenge to mass migration as a personal attack worth physical intimidation.

In the clip, Leo began by referencing data showing certain nationalities in the UK are disproportionately involved in sexual offences compared to native Brits. The protester immediately pivoted to colonial history.

“The BRITS that colonised the whole world you mean? That raped and pillaged the WHOLE WORLD to get the power they have THE BRITS,” he shouts.

“YEAH The BRITS who did THAT. And YOU guys have the audacity TO SAY AFGHANS AND SOMALIS DID WHAT?”

Leo responded evenly: “Well it’s not Audacity. It is just a fact.”

The man escalated, demanding: “IS IT NOT A FACT THAT Y’ALL COLONIZED THE WORLD THROUGH RAPE, MURDER AND PILLAGING, RIGHT OR WRONG?”

The guy then repeated insults—“you’re a piece of s,” “you’re a liar”—and got inches from Leo’s face, spitting as he ranted about how he “came out here for violence,” not to talk.

Leo stayed composed, pointing out the obvious: “This doesn’t make your argument look good. That’s the left. That is the degenerate violent left. You give facts. You get data. And they get violent.”

The exchange ended with the soy leftist in the background yelling “go back to your country.” Leo’s deadpan reply: “I live here.” When asked how he got there: “Aeroplane.”

On GB News, Leo later reflected on the moment. He explained he could have countered with historical facts—Britain’s role in abolishing the slave trade, Royal Navy efforts against it—but prioritized de-escalation and safety amid the aggression. “I was more concerned about watching his hands… making sure that he wasn’t about to swing for me.”

Man Running for Congress in Florida Sells 86-47 Merch, Threatens to Dox J6ers in Unhinged Video: “They Deserve a f***ing Noose”

Mark Davis, Air Force veteran and small business owner, is running unaffiliated (No Party Affiliation / NPA) in Florida’s 16th Congressional District, which covers parts of Hillsborough and Manatee counties, including areas around Parrish and Tampa Bay.

In the 2026 general election for U.S. House, he faces incumbent Republican Rep. Vern Buchanan.

Davis has become known for his very public use of “86 47” anti-Trump messaging, the same violent messaging that led to an indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.

You can read that indictment here.

Davis has worn “86 47” hats in photos, driven with an “86 47” license plate, and sells hats, t-shirts, and other merch directly on his campaign website.

After Comey was indicted, Davis doubled down. He posted defiant photos of himself in the hat with the license plate and said things like “Arrest us all. I dare you.”

He called the crackdown “silly” and vowed to keep wearing/selling the merch daily through the election.

In a recent post on Instagram, Davis said, “January Sixers don’t deserve a billion dollars. They deserve a f***ing noose.”

“And if I find out that any of you January Sixers request funds from this little fucking slush fund that Trump set up, I’m gonna personally dox the living fucking shit out of you.”

“Have fun.”

CBC report failed to inform readers that “tribunal” on residential schools is symbolic

The CBC is standing by its reporting on a self-described human rights tribunal that is “indicting” the Canadian government for alleged abuses and “genocide” in the residential school system, despite failing to note that the group’s lead prosecutor has a suspended law licence and that the organization has no legal authority in Canada.

The article, written by CBC reporter Joy SpearChief-Morris, profiles an activist group known as the “Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal” and its “trial” of Canada’s residential school system.

The report states that “seven international judges” would be “hearing evidence” during the proceeding as part of an investigation into missing Indigenous children and alleged “unmarked burials” associated with residential schools.

The hearing comes five years after the reported discovery of potential unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. On May 27, 2021, the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced that a preliminary investigation had identified what were believed to be the remains of 215 children who attended the school.

BAD NEWS FOR PLATNER: Even the Ladies of ‘The View’ Are Turning on Him, Call Him a Racist, Liar, and Homophobe

Graham Platner, the Democratic Socialist (communist) running for U.S. Senate in Maine, has some serious problems. In addition to the Nazi tattoo, the vile Reddit comments, and now a sexting scandal, the ladies of The View are turning on him.

How bad of a Democrat candidate do you have to be to lose the support of the hosts of The View? These people will defend a Democrat for anything, but even they are backing away now.

Did a memo go out on the left that it’s time to dump this guy? How else can this be explained?

This is what Alyssa Farah Griffin said, via Mediaite:

To be honest, his sexting is the least of my concern. Graham Platner trashed a Purple Heart recipient — said he didn’t deserve to live — defamed fallen Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, downplayed how hard it is to report sexual assault in the military, repeatedly used anti-gay slurs and homophobic posts as recently as 2021, called himself an avowed communist, and has a Nazi tattoo for 20 years he has since covered up. This guy seems like a guy of not very good character. And there are a lot of options in this country and other paths for Democrats to win. Just win a different state. You need four seats. Look at Alaska, Iowa, look at Texas. Don’t die on the hill of a guy who is going to be a headache for years to come.

Then Sunny Hostin chimed in:

“Yeah, you know, I am conflicted,” Hostin said. “They asked Cory Booker how he felt about this because, I think all the allegations are true. The sexting with other women while married is definitely true because his wife…disclosed it. Why would she lie about that? So, that part is true.”

Hostin continued, “He’s also made racist remarks against African Americans. So he’s a cheater, he’s an antisemite — because the fact that he had that tattoo for 20 years and ‘didn’t know what it was’ is a lie. So he’s a liar, a racist, an antisemite…he’s a homophobe. So, he’s all the things, and character does matter.”

Democrat Strategist TORCHES Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Suggests Spencer Pratt Could Win Based on Voter Anger

Democrat strategist Melissa DeRosa appeared on FOX News today and absolutely slammed Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, noting that even though she has the establishment machine fully behind her campaign, she can’t break past 27 percent in polling.

She also notes that it has been 25 years since the city has had a Republican mayor and says that Spencer Pratt could win the race based on voter anger alone.

It’s amazing to see a Democrat strategist saying all of this out loud.

From Mediaite:

On Monday’s The Story on Fox News, Martha MacCallum played video of Bass saying of opponent Spencer Pratt, “It’s not just that he has no experience in city government, but I don’t know if he’s ever held a job in his life other than to be a reality TV star. And I think that he doesn’t know the issues. He’s operating out of anger. And what our city needs is to move forward, and a city where people can live their lives without the fear of crime.”

DeRosa told MacCallum, “Karen Bass is a Democrat with all of the establishment behind her. She has the union, and the governor, and Kamala Harris, but she can’t crack 26 or 27%.”

“So, that is not about Spencer Pratt, that is about her,” DeRosa said. “When you have a ceiling that low and you are the incumbent mayor, that is your constituents telling you, ‘You’re fired.’ So, Spencer Pratt — it’s fascinating to watch. A Republican has not been mayor in Los Angeles since 2001, so it’s been 25 years, and I think if he gets elected, he will get elected, yes, because people are angry, because they feel that the government has failed them.”…

“I think it’s gonna be a runoff between Bass and Pratt,” DeRosa said. “And then in a runoff, head-to-head, I actually think he can consolidate the anti-establishment vote, and he could come over the top, because she has a terrible record that she will defend for the next five months.”

IS HE AN ANDROID? Watch James Talarico Repeat a Clearly Rehearsed Line About Republicans Supporting Him, Word for Word

James Talarico, the Democrat running for a U.S. Senate seat in Texas, is one strange dude.

It’s amazing that Democrats thought they needed a Christian candidate in this race and they came up with him. Talarico is what a progressive campaign consultant thinks a Christian is. And in case you haven’t noticed, the ONLY time he brings up his Christian faith is when he is trying to defend some wacky, far left policy or position.

One of his new talking points is that Republicans are coming up to him at campaign events and telling him that they are secretly supporting him.

It’s a ridiculous claim, but it gets even sillier when you watch the video below. Watch him repeat the same line at different times, but word for word. How long do you think it took him to memorize this?
