Okay, I’m stumped. This bizarre sound woke me up at 5:30 AM 🤯. I’ve gone down the rabbit hole and still can’t find anything that even comes close. What the hell am I hearing? Bird? Animal?❔👇

The homelessness crisis has never been about housing.
If housing first works, it would’ve worked.
Make treatment mandatory, reunite families, & stop allowing criminals & our political leaders to profit off of the homeless.
We can no longer wait for the homeless to find the door to treatment.
We need to kick it open and walk them through it.
Dear LA (again),
One out of ten homeless people in the entire country live in our city.
Despite whatever statistic our mayor claims to the contrary, things are getting worse around here.
The biggest challenge to solving a problem is accepting that you have one, and that starts with admitting that our problem isn’t money, it’s corrupt leadership.
Mayor Karen Bass, Councilmember Nithya Raman, and Governor Newsom have built a political web so financially entangled with homelessness NGOs that the dysfunction isn’t a failure, it’s their business model.
I’ve spent nearly 20 years studying the chronic homelessness epidemic and no matter how many new gold plated condos Gavin Newsom promises to build on the back of our tax dollars, the root cause has NEVER been lack of housing, and housing itself will never be the primary solution.
As my friend Paul Shirley would phrase it, if “housing first” worked, it would have worked.
The only reduction in homelessness that housing first deserves credit for is the 30% of overdose deaths in San Francisco that came from their “supportive housing” initiatives.
I’m sorry if that is shocking to read, but many of you need to wake-up & smell the fentanyl.
The one thing housing first is good for; however, is financial scheming.
Recently Karen Bass’s office was complicit in a grift involving the Weingart Center Association, a Los Angeles based homeless non-profit, to take a massive grant of LA taxpayer funds to convert properties into homeless housing as part of California’s Project Homekey.
Sounds lovely, right?
The mayor’s ingenious plan involved a property which had originally been purchased for $11 million that was then immediately flipped to Weingart on the city’s dime at nearly TRIPLE the price.
I’m sure Mayor Bass has lots of clever talking points for why $20 million magically disappeared into thin air, and she’ll need to perform them convincingly as this act of service is now facing a federal probe.
We will never know how truly bad the corruption is as Gavin Newsom has blocked the audits of countless related projects that have vanished billions of dollars, all in the name of homelessness.
If you can help Gavin come up with a good reason why we shouldn’t audit how tax funds are being used then you’ll probably have a job waiting for you at the LA Times.
Our media needs to do better. They once did…
So why do I care about this so much?
In 2006 Del Bigtree (formerly of Dr. Phil & The Doctors, currently host of the High Wire) took me on the misadventure of a lifetime when I agreed to help him document a group of homeless men who had just survived a tough winter in Denver.
What we captured, acquired by Merv Griffin Entertainment & later titled “Under the Cardboard,” was ultimately dubbed “too difficult for audiences to watch.”
What began as a light-hearted expose seeking the sort of wholesome temporarily down-on-their-luck tale we often naively attach to the homeless, instead crash landed into an honest glimpse of what life is truly like for the humans suffering mental illness & crippling addiction in plain sight.
The best thing that came out of our docuseries was that it inspired a man named Kevin Adler to begin his own experiments to record the experience of our brothers and sisters living in the streets, while fruitless as a documentary, the countless conversations that ensued led to his creation of “Miracle Messages,” a charity focused on another underappreciated cause of homelessness: “relational poverty,” and is an inspiring example of the first of what I see as the three primary solutions to ending the homeless epidemic:
REUNITING FAMILIES
I am forever honored & humbled that Kevin asked me to become his first advisor.
Kevin’s breakthrough came in asking people he interviewed on the streets two incredibly important questions.
1). “When did you first feel homeless?”
The more conversations he had the more he heard the same answer…
Part 2 👇👇👇
😱And we wonder why there’s soooo much hate in the world!!! 🤬🤯
An American Jew is shocked by Palestinian Muslims telling him that Jews especially women and children deserve to be raped and murdered by Muslims from Gaza.
Zach Sage Fox, a fearless American Jew, posed as a woke Italian journalist and sneaked into the Palestinian Territories in the West Bank.
He wanted to hear for the first time what ordinary Palestinians really think about the rape and mass murder of 1200 people in Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7.
He also asked them about Hamas plans to destroy Israel and commit genocide against Jews.
Their answers will make your blood boil.
This is the raw, unfiltered truth the Western media refuses to show you about the conflict.
While the mainstream media and leftist politicians push the lie that this is just a “land dispute” or “resistance,” Palestinians on the ground openly celebrate the slaughter of Jews and demand more. They do not want peace. They want every Jew dead. They say it straight to the camera with smiles on their faces.
This is not a fringe view. This is the mainstream Palestinian position.
Zach Sage Fox risked everything to expose it. The media does not care about the facts. Too many Western journalists promote Hamas propaganda and disinformation to demonize Israel and its people.
The civilized world must stop pretending this is normal political disagreement. This is genocidal hatred rooted in Islamic supremacism. The same ideology that fuels October 7, grooming gangs in Britain, and endless jihad worldwide.
If you want the truth, stop trusting the media and start listening to the people who live it.
Share this video. Retweet it. Hit like. Follow the truth tellers who refuse to bow to the narrative.
The mask is off. Palestinians said the quiet part out loud.
The truth is finally starting to come out 🙏 Why do people who have no clue about the actual history of the conflict take it upon themselves to “know better” than the people who have and are actually living read.

“Free Palestine.”
I grew up on those words.
In Lebanon, most people around me wanted a free Palestine for a very practical reason — to send the Palestinian refugees back. The civil war that tore my country apart was ignited in no small part by the Palestinian armed factions who turned Lebanon into their launching pad. “Free Palestine” meant: free us from them.
In Damascus, where my father’s family lived, the sentiment was different but equally self-serving. Palestine must be returned to the Arabs, its righteous owners. No one asked follow-up questions. No one was expected to.
Palestine was central to Islam, most Arabs are Muslim, therefore supporting the Palestinian cause was reflexive. A non-brainer in the most literal sense — no brain engaged at all.
Nobody stopped to point out that Palestine is not an Arabic word. Nobody found it strange that Jerusalem, the supposedly third holiest city in Islam, is not mentioned once in the Quran. Not once. Nor is Palestine. The entire theological and political architecture of this cause rests on a foundation that their own scripture doesn’t bother to acknowledge.
What was actually happening was indoctrination. A systematic, generational rejection of Jewish sovereignty — and frankly, of any minority sovereignty. Jews, Christians, Druze, Kurds, Assyrians, Yazidis — the Arab world has been remarkably consistent in how it treats people who are different. We just don’t talk about that.
Instead, in the West, we talk about Palestine.
In the West, a civilization that has elevated human rights to its highest moral currency, the Palestinian cause has become the one exception to every rule. In the queue of human suffering, Palestinians cut the line every time. Homosexuals executed in Gaza and hanged from cranes in Iran? Palestine first. Women imprisoned in Saudi Arabia for campaigning for the right to drive — a right they were denied until 2018 — girls sold into marriage in Afghanistan, women erased from public life entirely under the Taliban? After Palestine. Political dissidents ground into dust in Syrian and Egyptian prisons, journalists disappeared in Libya, children starving in Yemen while their rulers wage proxy wars, entire populations hollowed out by hunger in Sudan? All of it waits. Christians ethnically cleansed from Iraq and Syria, the Arab world methodically emptied of every Jewish community it once held — a demographic erasure carried out across a century with surgical patience and near-total Western silence?
Palestine is still first.
So let’s end where we started. Free Palestine. Which Palestine, exactly? The Roman invention? The British administrative line? The British Mandate covered the entire territory of what is today Israel, the West Bank, Gaza and Jordan. In 1921, 78% of that mandate was handed to the Hashemite family — a dynasty imported from Hijaz in present-day Saudi Arabia — and became the Kingdom of Jordan, which it remains to this day. A foreign royal family, on the majority of historic Palestine, ruling it as a monarchy. Nobody protests that. No flags, no chants, no encampments. The remaining 22% was designated for the Jews, became Israel, and is the only part that any pro-Palestinian activist has ever had a problem with.
So when you say Free Palestine, you mean that 22%. You mean the Jews.
And free it from whom? From a people with a three-thousand-year-old documented presence in that land, to restore the glory of a name coined by Roman colonizers, a name lifted from the Torah, a name that has no roots in Arabic, no mention in the Quran, and no history as a sovereign state?
You are not chanting for liberation. You are chanting for colonialism — the Roman kind, repackaged for social media.
Free Palestine is not a cause. It is a colonial term, coined by invaders, recycled by the indoctrinated. The least you can do is have the intelligence to understand it and the decency to reflect on your position.

Thank God the world is starting to open its eyes and see the beauty it was unable to see for the last 2 1/2 years 🙏 People are beginning to open their eyes to the lies and see the algorithms for what they are…failing tools of hate and division.
THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE PEACE! ✌️🙏❤️
My Demand for Arab League Members on Israeli Independence Day 🇮🇱
I, the Kuwaiti 🇰🇼, Jasem Aljuraid, address a bold demand directly to the members of the Arab League on the day of Israeli Independence.
I say it fearlessly and without hesitation: Enough with the inherited hatred and historical lies!
I demand the establishment of a living and open Jewish Quarter in every Arab League member state, especially the Gulf countries and all Arabic-speaking nations. I demand the full right of return for Jewish communities to the regions where they lived for centuries among us, with complete recognition of their memories and history. I demand the fair and transparent opening of the compensation file for the properties and livelihoods that were confiscated from the Jewish families who once lived among us.
This is not weakness or mere normalization — it is a sincere demand for historical justice. This is a decisive rejection of the ideological hatred we inherited from our fathers and grandfathers, and a true resetting of accumulated historical problems to zero.
On this Independence Day, let us turn remembrance into a genuine historic opportunity: Let us open a new covenant built on truth, reconciliation, and peaceful coexistence, instead of continuing the cycle of hatred and ruin.
The ball is now in the court of the Arab League and its members. Do you dare to take a bold step toward justice?

THIS HAS TO GET TO @GretaThunberg !
A message to @GretaThunberg.
If you agree with me, repost this so it reaches her tone-deaf ears.
Greta! Watch this video!
Do you even know what the hell you’re talking about?
Where were you when the Islamic regime massacred 45,000 Iranians just for protesting? Where are you now while the regime has cut off internet access for 90 million people for 40 straight days—a crime so monstrous it doesn’t even have a name yet because no one has ever done anything this evil before?
Listen to me, Greta. You can keep using Gaza and every other issue on Earth to brand yourself as the neurodivergent hero of humanity, but NOT IRAN.
If you stayed completely silent while my people were slaughtered and terrorized left, right, and center by this regime—if you said nothing when the Islamic Republic’s Nazi-like regime murdered more of us in two days than Gazans in two years—then you have zero right to open your mouth now.
Choke on your hypocrisy and stay silent. Iranians don't need your selective activism; keep your crocodile tears for Gaza.

🚨 Shocking video in which an Arabic man says he wants to Kill Jewish Americans and especially Jewish school children. Potentially going to try and target areas in Brooklyn.
He gives his location as Harlem, New York.
Make him famous and make sure he is arrested.
Incredibly written and soooo on point! 1962 here ☺️
We are called "the elderly." But that quiet label hides something most people rarely stop to consider. We are the last living witnesses of a world that no longer exists.
Look at us and you might see gray hair, slower steps, and the patience that time teaches.
But listen to our story — really listen — and you'll realize something extraordinary.
We are the only generation in human history to have lived a fully analog childhood and a fully digital adulthood.
That's not a small thing. That's one of the most breathtaking journeys a human being has ever been asked to make.
We were born in the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s, into a world still rebuilding from the rubble of World War II.
Our toys were marbles and hopscotch and card games at kitchen tables. When the streetlights flickered on, that was it — childhood adventures were over, and it was time to go home. No smartphones. No streaming. No endless scroll.
We built our memories in the real world. With scraped knees and laughter echoing down streets and friendships formed face to face.
In 1969, we sat in living rooms staring at black-and-white televisions as Neil Armstrong took humanity's first steps on the Moon. Hundreds of thousands of us stood in muddy fields at Woodstock believing — really believing — that music and community could reshape the future.
We fell in love to vinyl records spinning on turntables. We waited days, sometimes weeks, for handwritten letters to arrive. We learned patience because information didn't come instantly. Mistakes were fixed with erasers — not a delete button.
Then the world transformed.
Machines that once filled entire rooms shrank to devices lighter than a paperback. We went from rotary phones and party lines to seeing the face of someone we love on the other side of the ocean — instantly, on something that fits in a pocket.
We watched the birth of the personal computer. The arrival of the internet. The smartphone. Artificial intelligence.
And through every single shift — we adapted.
Not because it was easy. Because that's what our generation does.
We also carry the weight of history in our bodies.
We grew up afraid of polio and tuberculosis. We watched science defeat them. We witnessed the discovery of the structure of DNA, the decoding of the human genome, the transformation of medicine itself. We survived pandemics across decades — and kept going.
Few generations have been asked to absorb so much change in a single lifetime.
And through all of it, certain things never changed.
We still know the joy of a cold glass of lemonade on a hot afternoon. The taste of vegetables picked straight from a garden. The value of a long conversation that unfolds slowly, without a screen interrupting it.
We have celebrated births and mourned losses. Carried the stories of friends who are gone. Watched the world become something our younger selves couldn't have imagined — and found ways to belong in it anyway.
We are not relics.
We are living bridges between two entirely different worlds.
Our memory carries something the modern world needs — proof that progress doesn't have to erase wisdom. That speed doesn't have to replace patience, kindness, or reflection.
So when someone calls us elderly, we can smile.
Because behind that word is something remarkable.
We crossed two centuries. Witnessed eight decades of transformation. Walked from handwritten letters to artificial intelligence — and never lost our sense of what actually matters.
Truer words have never been spoken, thank God for free and critical thinkers with a voice and a platform🙏
Imam Hassen Chalghoumi of Drancy, near Paris, is astonished by what Israel is currently doing in Iran. He writes: (Written June 2026)
I, a son of Ishmael, an imam, a Muslim, a man of peace, hereby present my sincere testimony about this extraordinary people:
I must admit, I believe in religions and miracles. But there is something about this people — the people of Israel — that feels like a living miracle.
A people the Pharaohs tried to erase 3,000 years ago… and failed.
A people the Babylonians tried to annihilate 2,500 years ago… and failed.
A people the Romans tried to wipe out 2,000 years ago… and failed.
A people the Nazis tried to exterminate 80 years ago… and failed to erase.
A people the Arabs fought in five wars to wipe off the map… and failed.
This is a small nation in number, but with a unique strength — a divine blessing. Wherever it lays its hand, it succeeds: in finance, commerce, science, philosophy, literature… A desert land turned into a paradise, without oil or gas, but with liberty, democracy, intelligence, and determination.
This is a people who gave the world Einstein, Newton, Kafka, Karl Marx, Nietzsche, Spinoza, Freud… and many others who left a mark on humanity.
There are realities that neither reason nor logic can explain.
There is only one word for it: miracle.
For two and a half years now, this people has been fighting on five fronts. They said it was tired, that it was about to collapse… and yet, it surprises the world by opening a new front against the Iranian enemy — one that frightens even Arab regimes.
This people, though small in number, possesses the courage of nobles, the wisdom of prophets, the patience of the righteous, and the determination of survivors. How could it be otherwise, when it is known they are the descendants of Abraham, Solomon, David, Moses, Jacob, Joseph… and 1,523 prophets and emissaries from their lineage?
This is a people who brought monotheism and faith in one God to the world. A people driven by a thirst for life, for work, for innovation, and for continuity — a drive that has lasted more than 4,000 years.
Truly, I find no other word to describe them but: a nation of miracles.
If the Arabs had clear vision, they would choose to unite with this people, to learn from them, to cooperate with them… perhaps they would absorb some of their knowledge, wisdom, and dignity.
Hassen Chalghoumi
Imam
