$2 Million Payout to LA County CEO for Emotional Distress Over Having to Run for Office

Leave leftists in charge, and government degenerates into a looting spree. Los Angeles County recently paid out $2 million to its CEO to settle her claim that she was harmed by a ballot measure passed by voters that would force her to run for office:

CEO Fesia Davenport had requested the settlement for what she claimed was “reputational harm, embarrassment and physical, emotional and mental distress caused by the Measure G.”

The greed of these barnacles is astonishing.

Measure G will transform the CEO job from an appointed position into an elected one starting in 2028. Voters approved it last year after most of the county Board of Supervisors placed it on the ballot.

She alleges that the wording of the proposal implies she has not provided strong leadership, thereby hurting her feelings.

She also wrote that she deserved compensation from her career as the at-will CEO being cut short by the shift to elected CEO in late 2028, which she said also would lessen how much retirement she’d earn.

Davenport is 56 years old. Note that she takes it for granted that voters would not choose her voluntarily, even in woke LA County.

With pay and benefits, she has been pulling in a staggering $810,319/year, compliments of taxpayers. For their money, taxpayers got LA County’s historic first black CEO.

San Jose Sharks Apologize for Supporting ICE

Professional sports have driven off fans by relentlessly ramming moonbattery down the throats of the audience. A recent example is the NFL choosing anti-ICE rapper Bad Bunny to perform in Spanish for the Super Bowl halftime show. But occasionally, there are brief exceptions:

Disgustingly, the Sharks apologized:

The San Jose Sharks apologized on Saturday after a pro-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) appeared on the video board of the SAP Center as the organization celebrated Hispanic Heritage Night.

Evidently it is offensive to suggest that the country should be defended from foreign invasion on Hispanic Heritage Night. If immigrants were assimilating and identifying as Americans as in the past, this would not be an issue.

Libs Are Open About Intention to Assassinate Trump

Liberals are not hiding the ball regarding their strategy, which is to try and try again until they manage to do to Trump what they did to Charlie Kirk. They hope not only to deprive the country of a once in a lifetime leader, but to instill terror in their opponents, which helps explain why they are so open about egging on the next Thomas Matthew Crooks:

Meanwhile,

Let’s hope the Secret Service has been purged of the DEI incompetence if not malign neglect that seemed to characterize the agency when Joe Biden’s handlers were in charge. They have to succeed in stopping every single attempt. Self-proclaimed Defenders of Our Democracy only have to succeed once.

Why Moonbats Pretend Trump Is a King

One of the many ways Donald Trump has made America a better place is by compelling progressives to drop their mask. The greater the president he turns out to be, the more unhinged they become. By now they seem hardly aware that normal people outside the liberal bubble can see them and will remember what they see.

Another scene from the No Kings freakfests:

The guillotine refers to the French Revolution, helping to explain why liberals portray Trump as a king, even though he represents us in accordance with the democratic principles Democrats pretend to revere.

The scourge that is leftism began with the French Revolution. It introduced totalitarianism and genocide in the name of what liberals call social progress. It eventually led to still more catastrophic revolutions in Russia and China.

Trump is a king because they want to kill him, the way they killed Louis XVI to usher in the nightmare regime remembered as the Reign of Terror.

Liberal Triggered by “For Charlie” Shirt

One reason Charlie Kirk was so successful at spreading conservative messages on the unfriendly territory of college campuses is that he was such a disarmingly nice guy, always giving his opponents a hearing and treating them with his characteristic decency. But that’s not how the moonbats who killed him choose to remember him:

They are as divorced from reality as they are vicious.

Illinois State University Teaching Assistant Arrested for Trashing TPUSA Table

Liberals continue to follow up on their assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of TPUSA. Watch a moonbat pay his respects to a TPUSA table:

Via Fox News:

An Illinois State University faculty member was arrested after he was accused of flipping a Turning Point USA student group’s table and tearing down promotional flyers on campus last week.

Derek Lopez, a 27-year-old graduate student and teaching assistant at the university, was captured on camera speaking to a man standing near the table set up by students in the conservative group to promote political comedian Alex Stein’s upcoming event at the institution, before he then tossed the table…

This reflects what we often have teaching classes at universities as well as the degree of tolerance that can be expected of non-leftist opinion on college campuses. Imagine the political climate inside this guy’s classroom.

Lopez also allegedly disrupted a second informational table hosted by a student group, according to Illinois State University Police.

Encouragingly, Lopez was arrested.
