I would have missed this if it weren’t for my brilliant friend Brian Sullivan. Brian texted me the Spencer Pratt video below with the comment: “This is great.” Fact-check: True. Indeed, the ad conveys something like a timeless truth. Whether Pratt wins or loses his race for mayor of Los Angeles, we’ll always have Paris…I mean the Pratt — the rejection of leftist bromides and the aversion to the media

So goes, we hope to God, no other state. Currently there are two big election campaigns going on in the formerly prosperous state of California. The first is for Governor, where Democrats are aghast at the reality that Republican Steve Hilton may very well win. The Democrats’ problem is that, as so often is the case, notwithstanding their claims to overwhelming intellectual superiority, their candidates suck. One of those bad

Will political campaigning ever be the same after the brilliant, outsider run being waged by Spencer Pratt? Call me an optimist, but I doubt it. This is amazing; via InstaPundit: This may be the song of the summer. pic.twitter.com/bxdB1eVCsy — Adam Scheidler (@Scheidsa) May 14, 2026

Pirate Wires editor in chief Mike Solana brings us up to date on the Los Angeles mayor’s race this morning: Former charming reality television villain and present day LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt surged above 20% in the prediction markets following his tremendous debate against incumbent Clown World Karen Bass, who presided over the city’s disastrous response to the LA Palisades fires, and Nithya Raman, a sociopathic Marxist city councilmember.

Spencer Pratt, until now best known as a reality show actor, is making a maverick run for Mayor of Los Angeles. His creative and effective video ads have gotten a lot of attention. It looks like a three-way race, with incumbent Karen Bass, Communist Nithya Raman and Pratt the contenders, with a great many undecided voters. Scott posted one of Pratt’s videos here. Another highly-produced–stunning, really–video is also getting a

Reality TV star Spencer Pratt is running in the primary for mayor of Los Angeles. He will apparently test the proposition that the city is salvagable. According to AI, his “They not like us” campaign video racked up some 10,000,000 views within 24 hours of its posting on X last week. One can’t miss the righteous anger in Pratt’s tone of voice. Mister, we could use a man like Spencer

Newsweek reports, Supreme Court hands Donald Trump new win. You will recall this case, The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump’s administration another win on Monday, as it cleared the way to allow sweeping immigration operations in Los Angeles. The court overturned a judge’s restraining order which prevented federal agents from stopping people solely based on their race, language, job or location. When the district judge’s original decision came out,

Well, more like a minor scuffle. From KTLA, Protesters were seen clashing with law enforcement as Los Angeles city crews opened the gates to start clearing a sprawling homeless encampment in Van Nuys on Thursday morning. At least one person was detained as city sanitation workers and LAPD officers moved in to dismantle tents and remove debris along Oxnard Street near the 405 Freeway. KTLA provides some context, The Van

From The Hill newspaper, [U.S.] Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) said the streets of Los Angeles are empty as a result of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement actions in recent months. Probably an exaggeration. Sen. Padilla suggests that streets are empty not due to mass departures, but rather, whole populations cowering in fear behind closed doors. As much as I’d like to believe the Senator, his anecdotal observations aren’t showing up

From KTLA, Another Los Angeles street takeover ends with AutoZone being looted. The serious take here is that the Democrats in charge of Los Angeles still do not have functional control of the city. Otherwise, what’s going on with AutoZone? From KTLA, The Los Angeles Police Department says a South L.A. AutoZone store was looted during a nearby street takeover early Saturday morning, the latest incident in a destructive trend
