WATCH: Former Minneapolis Council candidate harasses black man in Israeli flag apparel, sparks backlash

In the clip, Metzger repeatedly accuses the man of being a “white supremacist” while continuing to shout at and harass him.

Now Comes the California Fire Sale: China-Based Company Is Buying Up Land Incinerated by Firestorms
When the feared firestorm hit Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena in Southern California last January, the Los Angeles mayor was MIA, the “public safety” guy in charge—the vice mayor—was on home confinement for making an anti-Israel bomb threat on city hall, fire fighters were not pre-deployed, there was no water in the reservoir, and fire hydrants went dry in the Palisades. Now, a foreign investor has been secretly scooping up many of the burned lots on the oceanfront side of the PCH—with the vision of rebuilding the mansions that dotted the coastline in the iconic beach town.

It Begins: Trump Responds To Leftist Maryland Governor After “Nasty” Comments
President Trump’s Sunday morning attention centered on Maryland Governor Wes Moore, who on Saturday unleashed incendiary comments aimed at the White House. The far-left governor, just north of D.C., has watched his polling collapse as his party of leftist radicals drags Maryland into a power-bill crisis, fiscal turmoil, years of violent crime and chaos, and an ongoing sanctuary state mess. Cornered by failure, Moore’s comments have now put Maryland squarely in the spotlight. As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a “walk.” Wes Moore’s record on crime is a very bad one, unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other “Blue States” are doing. But if Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the “troops,” which is being done in nearby D.C., and quickly clean up the crime.

And Center for AI Safety director Dan Hendrycks told the magazine that he’s also expecting humanity to no longer be around by his retirement. Their belief is part of a movement that argues we’re mere years away from an AI that evades our grasp and turns against us,

DeSantis Orders Removal Of Gay Pride Crosswalks From Florida Streets
