Free Luxury Housing for Bums

Posted on by

These days the American dream of owning their own home is beyond the reach of many young people, mainly due to the crushing burden of excessive government, which has driven up interest rates and the cost of housing. Their problem is, they are going about it the wrong way. Instead of getting a job and working hard so they can afford a mortgage, they should quit their jobs, blow their money on fentanyl, and spend their time defecating on the sidewalk. That would earn them the reverence of the liberal establishment, which bestows extravagant privileges on those it adores — including luxury housing. No need to own a home when Big Government provides for you:

It would be nice to think that at some point, the people who are effectively enslaved through taxation so as to pay for this will push back. But apparently it is too late for that to happen in California.

No U-Turn Signs Removed in Obeisance to LGBT Lifestyle

Posted on by

Authorities are running out of new ways to express their adoration of degenerates who orient their lives around sexual perversion. The Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles has resorted to taking down street signs forbidding U-turns because the signs are accused of inhibiting the LGBT lifestyle:

The signs that read “No Cruising” and prohibited U-turns were installed in 1997 when neighbors complained about gay men hanging out and looking for dates in certain residential areas close to popular gay bars.

The “No Cruising” signs came down in 2011. But some U-turn signs remained. LGBT militants viewed them as a last remnant of resistance.

Compton Business Encounters Social Justice

Posted on by

As local police are marginalized, the “marginalized” become ever more entitled. In the Los Angeles area, liberal utopia has been achieved. Good luck to capitalist oppressors trying to run a business:

A mob of over 100 looters purposefully crashed a Kia into a small bakery in Compton, Calif., before they flooded in and ransacked the store during a night of rampage on the streets earlier this week.

This same means of entry has been used in Chicago, which now has a mayor who sides with mobs of looters openly, instead of implicitly like most Democrats.

The thieves had gathered in the area for an illegal street takeover around 3 a.m. Tuesday before making the mile-long trek to Ruben’s Bakery & Mexican Food.

This could be why in the olden days the streets were policed rather than left to mobs of lowlife. But that was found to be racist.

Police had received two calls about a car on fire and a street takeover outside the bakery just before the looting occurred.

Maybe they thought better of intervening, lest an officer end up getting the Derek Chauvin treatment. It’s not as if any of the looters would be prosecuted anyway. Los Angeles County DA George Gascon was installed by George Soros, #1 bankroller of the Democratic Party.

No injuries or arrests were reported in Tuesday’s looting.

Of course not. If there were consequences, lawlessness would not be escalating out of control.

Ironically, the Ruben’s storefront prominently features “We Accept EBT” notices. EBT is a government-implemented form of looting, whereby taxpayers and holders of inflated US currency are the ones who get looted.

Los Angeles Sides With Airbnb Squatter

Posted on by

As we learned when the CDC surreally decreed that landlords could not insist that rent be paid, we no longer enjoy property rights in the decaying remnants of the USA. Also gone are rule of law and shame. This state of affairs makes it hard to earn money with Airbnbs:

[Sascha] Jovanovic, who owns a dental surgery practice in Santa Monica, rented out his accessory dwelling unit via Airbnb to [Elizabeth] Hirschhorn, whose Airbnb stay ended in April last year, according to the [Los Angeles] Times. She hasn’t paid rent since.

The “accessory dwelling” is in tony Brentwood, Los Angeles. It should be worth $millions.

“When Elizabeth Hirschhorn’s Airbnb stay ended in April 2022, she simply didn’t move out. She’s been living there rent-free ever since, and she refused to budge unless Jovanovic paid her a relocation fee of $100,000,” the Times reports.

Extortion is apparently no longer illegal. But we still have plenty of rules. Welcome to the Kafkaesque world of moonbat bureaucracy:

Because of several [evidently trivial] code violations, the city determined that Jovanovic couldn’t evict Hirschhorn, whom he claims won’t even let him inside to bring it up to code.

According to leftist ideology, landlords are always the bad guys. So Big Government participates in the extortion:

Because she stayed in the unit for six months, Hirschhorn qualified for L.A.’s recently adopted Just Cause Ordinance, which requires a landlord to have a legal reason to evict her, and if there is no legal reason, the landlord is required to pay for relocation assistance for the tenant.

Looks like her refusal to pay and his desire for her to leave his property don’t count as legal reasons.

Pedro Gonzalez, the city investigator, also concluded that the unit is subject to L.A.’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance, giving Hirschhorn much stronger tenant protections.

No doubt the same government that negates property rights and refuses to perform the fundamental service of arresting the trespasser will insist taxes be paid on the property, despite having rendered it useless to its owner.

End Stage Liberalism in Los Angeles

Posted on by

Savages are attacking police officers with hammers in broad daylight. Here’s what they do to old ladies:

Investigators are looking for the man who grabbed a 75-year-old woman’s purse Monday, Aug. 14, then dragged her through a Hacienda Heights [Los Angeles] parking lot as two good Samaritans chased him until he yanked the purse from her and he fled.

She was at an ATM when the oppressed person came up on her.

Deputies have not recovered the victim’s purse, which contained a wallet, an unknown amount of cash and a cellphone.

This is why law-abiding citizens need to be armed.

Watch and wince as her skull repeatedly strikes the pavement:

The price of succumbing to liberal rule is living in fear, as criminals increasingly own the streets.

Elsewhere in LA:

That’s what end stage liberalism looks like.

Los Angeles Times Spins Dodgers Blasphemy

Posted on by

As forewarned, the Los Angeles Dodgers spat in the face of their fans on behalf of LGBTism with a ceremony yesterday honoring the extravagantly blasphemous anti-Catholic hate group the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. A massive crowd showed up to protest:

Meanwhile, inside the stadium,

There are more of us than there are of them. They manage to create the illusion that their sick ideology is normal and that those opposed to it are outliers because they control the media. The Los Angeles Times put the spin into overdrive to salvage this public relations disaster, excreting one of the most nauseating specimens of liberal propaganda I have ever endured:

You could have heard a pin drop. You could have seen hearts soar.

The Dodgers and the perverts dressed as gaudy nuns are predictably depicted as potential victims of violence at the hands of the peaceful Christians praying outside. A Sister of Perpetual Indulgence is reverently quoted:

“Whatever happens to me, I have to be there for them. This moment was given to us, it was a moral imperative for me to rise to that occasion on behalf of the people who believe in us.”

Count the LA Times among those who believe in the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence the way those who protested believe in real nuns. Readers are told that the LGBT militants’ message consists not of the ostentatious blasphemy that made them infamous but of “inclusion, hope, and love.”

For leverage, La Times brings in a moonbat who has infiltrated the Catholic Church and is helping to subvert it, Fr. Chris Ponnet, described as “spiritual director for the Los Angeles archdiocese’s Catholic Ministry With Lesbian and Gay Persons.” He opposes opposition to anti-Catholic bigotry:

Ponnet said that if strident Catholics aren’t careful, the alleged hate they are protesting can actually be coming from them.

“Part of our church position is not to bully, not to demonize, not to hate … and they’ve demonized and bullied,” he said.

Homosexuality is condemned in the most adamant terms throughout the Bible (as is pride). That there is a Catholic Ministry With Lesbian and Gay Persons is itself blasphemous. From there, we are at least half way to homosexuals dressed as nuns defecating on altars while the vermin comprising the media cheer and liberal priests scold us for not liking it.

Why Public Schools Must Be Abolished

Posted on by

Teachers unions are a cancer. In Los Angeles, this cancer has reached stage 4:

Local 99, which represents teacher’s aides, food-service workers, and other non-teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District ecosystem, demanded a 30% across-the-board salary increase plus a $2/hour addition for the lowest-paid worker, reported the Los Angeles Times.

The LAUSD offered a 23% raise, starting with 2% retroactive hike as of the 2020-21 school year and ending with a 5% boost in 2024-25, among other perks. However, Local 99 turned down the offer and determined not to continue negotiations.

Pathological greed inspired the union to go on strike, closing schools throughout the district.

American schools are dismal failures. Accountability is required to make them functional. In addition to raiding the public treasury and driving an ultraleft political agenda, teachers unions prevent accountability.

Like the socialist ideology they espouse, unions work great for the people at the top:

The Daily Mail reported that United Teachers Los Angeles president and BLM member Cecily Myart-Cruz, who represents over 35,000 members in the city, rushed off to attend an NBA game in a box suite after announcing the strike.

Suites run anywhere from $3,765 to over $12,547…

Students were set back when teachers unions, backed by the Biden Regime, exploited Covid as a pretext to avoid work. When asked about the impact keeping schools closed would have on kids,

Myart-Cruz told Los Angeles Magazine in August 2021, “There is no such thing as learning loss.”

True enough — because with moonbats like her in charge, there is no such thing as learning.

Test scores are collapsing. Instead of learning to read and do math, students are indoctrinated with antiwhite race hate and a depraved sexual agenda. The only constructive purpose of public schools at this point is to babysit children so their parents can work. But unions have made teachers too lazy to be relied on for even this minimal service.

Meanwhile, taxpayers are forced to pay over $24,000 per LA Unified School District student.

This isn’t education or even babysitting. It is a looting spree.

Boasts the arrogant union thug Myart-Cruz:

“You can recall the Governor, you can recall the school board. But how are you going to recall me?”

Here’s how. Public schools must be abolished. A voucher system allowing for competition between private schools would guarantee access to education and provide accountability that would radically improve the quality.

Los Angeles Times Blames Whites for Car Smog

Posted on by

According to the media and education establishments, whites are bad because they are oppressors; identity groups favored by Democrats are good because they are oppressed. This applies to all aspects of existence, even the smog that characterizes Los Angeles, according to a recent excretion of the LA Times:

The article, by Sammy Roth, comments on a recent study by scholars at the University of Southern California who found that “all else equal, tracts whose residents drive less are exposed to more air pollution, as are tracts with a less-White population.”

State and local government alone spends hundreds of $billions per year on higher education. This money is extracted from us forcibly through taxation and inflation. You can see why so much of the funding has to be on a coercive basis; few would pay for this pernicious nonsense voluntarily.

The study blamed urban planning that put freeways through black and Latino neighborhoods (though there may be a cause-and-effect problem, as neighborhoods with freeways may be more affordable and convenient for black and Latino households migrating to the city to find jobs and opportunities).

The effect of this moonbattery is not only to whip up hostility against scapegoated whites in accordance with cultural Marxism, but to cause economic dysfunction:

Recently, a major cargo freeway expansion was canceled in L.A. due to the supposedly racist effects of building it, despite the possible negative effects on the local economy.

The tasteless joke serving as Secretary of Transportation agrees that roads are racist, as are bridges. The malevolent lunatics who rule over us are driven by a bizarre ideology.
