The Los Angeles Police Department seized over 50 pounds of fentanyl, as well as nine pounds of black tar heroin and $14,500 in south Los Angeles this week, equating to over 4 million dollars in worth, the police announced.

The Trump campaign released a statement calling for CBS News' "60 Minutes" program to release the full discussion and transcript of its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, due to the apparent editing and digital splicing of the discussion.

Kamala Harris has a dude problem — white dudes, blue-collar dudes, working-class dudes. The dudes just aren’t buying what she’s selling. A recent NBC News poll has former President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris among men by 16 points, 56%to 40%. Back at Harris headquarters, where everything is measured in race and gender, it’s shocking they haven’t cracked the code on the male vote. Nevertheless, they and their surrogates are persisting. Enter “White Dudes for Harris,” a $10 million ad campaign, whose first cringeworthy ad opens with a guy saying white dude’s are tired of being told how much they “suck” and how they’re “the problem.” They’re right that white men are tired of being told they suck, but they’re also tired of being told they’re stupid. Men are smart enough to know the same people perpetually telling them they’re the problem are the ones now trying to scam them into another four years of our current administration’s policies. The Biden/Harris State Department’s own Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Chief, Zakiya Carr Johnson, co-authored a guide to remedy “a culture of male and/or white dominance.” Never mind that the dude in the inaugural ad, which targets the blue-collar states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, promises Harris has a plan for making white dudes’ lives better. Men know that if she was going to make their lives better, she wouldn’t have made their lives worse over the last nearly four years. This summer, Hollywood white dudes — Jeff Bridges, Mark Ruffalo, Mark Hamill, and Bradley Whitford — showed up on a Zoom fundraiser for the group. What better way to shore up the man vote than cameo a bunch of dudes whose industry has spent years telling men they “suck” on a regular basis, depicting them as bumbling morons on TV and in movies. John Nacion/FilmMagic Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it’s as if the group “Creatives for Harris” said, “hold my beer” and rolled out the most cringeworthy ad yet. This one should have donors demanding a refund. The “Creatives” ad pivots straight to gender, where we have the misfortune of listening to actors — yes, they’re all actors — repeat on loop that they’re not afraid of women and chant, “I’m a man” — just in case we’re confused. Real men who aren’t afraid of women don’t need to repeatedly tell you they’re not afraid of women. Meanwhile, in Normalville, U.S.A., where most men live, getting emotional in front of a horse or crying at “Good Will Hunting” isn’t a prerequisite for proving you’re not a misogynistic pig. Apparently, to be man you must vote for women, cry on cue, and pick your own donuts. If you’re trying to make this make sense, don’t. This is brought to you by the party who can’t define a woman, but seems to think they’ve nailed the definition of “man.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Most men aren’t analyzing the chromosomes on their ballot. They’re too busy weighing another four years of devastating inflationary policies that will threaten their livelihoods and destroy manufacturing jobs. They’re thinking about how the American dream of owning a home is nearly impossible thanks to the Biden/Harris administration. And when they hear the names Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin, who were brutally murdered by illegal immigrants invading our country, they’re concerned for their daughters’ safety. Men want to protect their daughters, and that includes keeping boys off girls’ sports teams and out of their locker rooms and bathrooms. You don’t get much more pro-woman than that. Kamala promised she wouldn’t do anything different than what she and Biden have already done — men believe her. The actors in this ad must be the same “customers” Kamala brought into Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Sports Bar, a Pittsburgh institution and arguably the most famous sports bar in the city, for a staged campaign event in August. She had the non-staged customers, which likely leaned heavily male, kicked out in the middle of the Pirates baseball game on a Sunday afternoon.

Restaurant on August 18, 2024 in Moon Township, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) If you know anything about that city’s sports fans, you know getting between them and their sports teams is the quickest way to hemorrhage votes. The Democrats’ game plan to win male votes can be summed up as the Harris Hail Mary late in the fourth quarter, except they have no idea which end of the field to throw the ball. This shouldn’t be so hard. After all, we’re told she’s from the middle class. Their man game is so bad Harris picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for her VP nominee, somehow convinced a white dude who put tampons in boys bathrooms would sell with men in blue-collar battleground states. To put an exclamation point on just how pro-dude they are, they gave Walz a shotgun and put him in front of the camera. Pro tip, next time check to see if your dude liaison can load a gun before the cameras roll. The only way that could have gone any worse is if Dick Cheney went shooting with him. This is also the first presidential election since 1992 that the Teamsters Union did not endorse a Democrat for president and instead made no endorsement. Make no mistake, with the union’s rank and file throwing their weight behind Trump by nearly 60%, the ringleaders’ non-endorsement is in fact an endorsement.

Michael Hopf. Right now our country is full of strong men who reject a feminized version of manliness. They won’t be browbeaten into believing they have to apologize for their gender and bow to the second “x” chromosome whenever it shows up. Strong men embrace their masculinity and know there’s nothing toxic about wanting to save their country this November. * * * Lauren DeBellis Appell, a former lobbyist and communications aide on Capitol Hill, is a writer based in Fairfax, Virginia.

Before taking the stage to speak on campus at the University of California Los Angeles, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro blasted his alma mater on Monday, writing that it “has forgotten what it’s supposed to be.” Shapiro will speak at a Young America’s Foundation event at UCLA on Monday night, a speech that has already generated controversy on campus and among the UCLA administration. In a thread posted to X on Monday, Shapiro slammed UCLA and its “scandals of plagiarism, DEI, riots, furries, BDSM, womxn, and ‘monsterf***ers.” Tonight, I’ll take the stage at UCLA. Before I do, let’s review how my once-elite undergraduate alma mater became a woke trash heap drowning in scandals of plagiarism, DEI, riots, furries, BDSM, womxn, and “monsterf*ckers.” ? — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) October 21, 2024 “Back in March, I exposed the state of the formerly prestigious UCLA medical school, which now mandates your future surgeons learn about ‘Indigenous resistance,’ ‘white supremacy,’ ‘two-spirits,’ and whatever ‘womxn’ are,” Shapiro wrote. He added that shortly after he exposed the university’s focus on woke concepts for medical students, Daily Wire reporter Luke Rosiak revealed that UCLA Medical School’s head of diversity, equity, and inclusion “only published a single paper — her Ph.D. dissertation on how colleges should create larger DEI programs — and it was plagiarized.” “You might think this is why nearly 50% of UCLA medical students are failing basic competency tests, but it’s not. Sources blame Jennifer Lucero, the dean of admissions, and her racist, anti-white and anti-Asian affirmative action policies,” Shapiro continued. “Not only did UCLA seemingly allow the dean of admissions to discriminate, an accounting professor named Gordon Klein was suspended because he wouldn’t. Klein rejected demands by students to show ‘leniency with black students’ in grading and had to subsequently sue the school.” The Daily Wire host wrote that “walking across campus” at UCLA as a Jew was “impossible” just months ago as anti-Israel student protesters were allowed to block Jewish students from walking to their classes. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “These anti-American, anti-Western, anti-Jewish Hamas apologists were allowed to occupy main centers of campus, vandalize, and attack their peers and police for weeks while normal students saw their education go up in smoke as tuition prices skyrocket,” Shapiro added. 7/ Just 5 months ago, walking across campus to Ackerman — where I'm speaking tonight — would have been impossible as a Jew after UCLA allowed historically & morally illiterate Hamas sympathizers to occupy access points & block Jews from passing through.pic.twitter.com/sGXbFEviv4 — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) October 21, 2024 9/ These anti-American, anti-Western, anti-Jewish Hamas apologists were allowed to occupy main centers of campus, vandalize, and attack their peers and police for weeks while normal students saw their education go up in smoke as tuition prices skyrocket.pic.twitter.com/zvzVIGMZan — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) October 21, 2024 Meanwhile, a UCLA student magazine is upset “about the lack of acceptance towards the ‘furry’ community” and obsessed with “kink.” “If you’re willing to pay $42,000 to $76,000 a year for you or your child to attend UCLA, they, too, can dose up on ‘freak fuel,’ become a ‘monsterf***er,’ and change their pronouns to ‘xey/xem’ while they ‘transmutate’ themselves. Money well spent,” Shapiro wrote. “In the days leading up to my @YAF speech tonight, the Administration paid to properly educate these ‘freaks’ has instead spent their time trying to derail my speech. They shut down ticketing, disrupted security plans, and left attendance open to agitator sabotage,” he added. “Sad as it is to see what UCLA has become, I’m looking forward to seeing the men and women of LA tonight at my speech. In accordance with our Q&A policy, those who disagree with me may cut to the front of the Q&A line. So, perhaps we’ll see some womxn and furries, too.”

As the rumor mill swirls, many believe that Meryl Streep and Martin Short are more than just co-stars. Some say their relationship offscreen blossomed from friendship into a romance. Meryl and Martin currently co-star with Steve Martin on Only Murders in the Building. They’ve been spotted together on and off-set in recent months. According to the New York Post, Martin and Meryl dine together and drive off in the same car, sparking romance rims. But, per the Post, Martin’s repo reportedly told E News in January 2024, “They are just very good friends. Nothing more.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Steve Martin (@stevemartinreally) Steve Martin Decided to Stir the Martin Short and Meryl Steep Pot Steve’s a funny guy, and he posted a picture of himself with Meryl Streep and Martin Short on Instagram. Only this wasn’t a regular snapshot. Instead, Steve put a giant red circle with a line through it right over his face. This made many people speculate that Steve was inferring he was a third wheel when he’s around the other two. A fan asked, “Did he just hard launch the relationship?” This person certainly hopes so. They wrote, “I don’t know why the thought of Meryl and Martin makes me so happy but it honestly fills my heart with joy.” Another fan hoped Martin and Meryl could give a more solid clue, writing, “I love this couple and hope they are in a relationship. They deserve all the happiness in the world. Absolutely love both. A public kiss to confirm would be wonderful tho.” Steve tricked this fan. “I was about to type “don’t you dare do that to Steve Martin” until I saw this was posted by Steve Martin himself.” Meryl Streep and Martin Short are both seemingly single. He’s a widow after losing Nancy Dolman, his wife of 30 years, to cancer in 2010. News broke of Meryl’s divorce from Don Gummer in 2023 after the pair reportedly lived apart for more than six years, per the Post. This is getting good.

Being a police officer isn’t easy. It takes courage, tenacity, and an intense desire to care for and protect others. There is a lot more to the job than crime fighting. Police officers often have to employ empathy and compassion in their daily lives. Police Body cam footage captured Ali Thomas, an officer with the Louisville Metro Police Department, heroically helping to save a man’s life recently, and it’s truly incredible. Police Body Cam Footage Captured The Heartwarming Encounter In a news conference, Assistant Chief Emily McKinley said that Ali came across the unidentified man in distress on the Lincoln Memorial Bridge on October 9. He didn’t hesitate to help. Police Body cam footage shows the man, who reportedly wore a firefighter’s shirt, hopping over the railing of the bridge. Ali approached, and the man began to talk to him. “That is material s— and that can all be replaced,” Ali told the man. “She can be replaced. Your personal stuff can be replaced. We can’t replace you.” A second officer eventually arrived, and the pair lifted the man over the railing and back to safety. Ali told WDRB he was happy the man was safe. “It’s a huge relief,” he said. “I helped somebody out. I don’t know. It’s real emotional just talking about it now, you can probably tell in my voice. I just didn’t want nobody to jump.” Ali, a former firefighter, joined the police force in 2021 after working for the city’s fire department for more than 20 years. After sharing the police body cam footage, Chief McKinley said she believed Ali was on that bridge for a reason that day. “We cannot be more proud of Officer Ali. He’s serving our community well.” The chief added, “This is why we took this job,” she said. “We took this job because we want to help people.” You can find the source of this story’s image here.

News Wolf Man Becoming a Werewolf Is No Picnic in Wolf Man Trailer From the screenwriter of 2020’a Invisible Man… By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on October 21, 2024 Screenshot: Universal Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Universal Pictures We’ve got a full trailer to augment the relatively short teaser for Wolf Man that Universal Pictures already released. The longer trailer gives us more of an inkling as to what’s going on, specifically about what happens to the dad of the family, Blake (played by Poor Things’ Christopher Abbott), when he gets bit on the way to visit his newly inherited childhood home. It’s not a spoiler to say that Blake doesn’t fare so well. (It also seems like the werewolf who bit him might be his presumed dead father, giving weight to the metaphor that the tendency for loved ones to turn into monsters can be a generational thing.) This trailer, in fact, gives a cascading look at Blake’s downfall, right up to the point he becomes full werewolf, leaving his wife (Julia Garner) and his daughter (Matlida Firth) vulnerable. The Blumhouse production also stars Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Ben Prendergast (The Sojourn Audio Drama) and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man), with newcomer Zac Chandler, Beatriz Romilly (Shortland Street) and Milo Cawthorne (Shortland Street). It comes from writer-director Leigh Whannell, whose previous credits include 2020’s The Invisible Man. Wolf Man premieres in theaters on January 17, 2025. Check out the trailer below.[end-mark] The post Becoming a Werewolf Is No Picnic in <i>Wolf Man</i> Trailer appeared first on Reactor.

The election is finally shaping up to be not only liberal Democrat Kamala Harris versus conservative Republican Donald Trump. Instead, it has become a larger contest between those who talk down to their fellow Americans and those who are increasingly sick and tired of being lectured. How smart is it, for example, for Harris supporters to claim nonstop that ex-President Trump is a fascist dictator—and thus, by extension, those also who vote for him? Female voters poll in favor of Harris. Trump enjoys a similar, although likely somewhat smaller, majority margin of male voters. Yet Harris—along with campaign surrogates Barack Obama and Bill Clinton—has been lecturing both black and white male voters nonstop that they are misled. Or they supposedly suffer from false consciousness—as if they have no clue that Harris and her progressive agenda are really in their own self-interest. Such haughtiness reached a zenith when Harris ran ads of actors costumed as supposedly working-class men. They voiced scripted talking points to prove that “real” men are progressive Harris supporters. But the actors were so patently ridiculous, their canned lines so unreal, that most viewers likely thought the ads were run by Trump himself—to show how arrogant, out-of-touch elites must imagine how the so-called “clingers” and “deplorables” think and talk. The Trump campaign also tries all sorts of strategies to win over female voters, from promising to rectify the Biden-Harris hyperinflation to reducing spiraling crime in towns and cities. But one method it avoids is claiming women are ignorant of their real self-interest and deluded by Harris, accurately assuming that a candidate does not win voters by belittling their intelligence. Harris and Obama both dressed down black men, claiming they are especially culpable for not voting en masse for Harris—even though a far higher percentage of black males will vote for Harris than for Trump. This hectoring the electorate on its supposed ignorance or moral shortcomings has become a Harris campaign trademark. To Harris, objecting to 10 million to 12 million foreign nationals entering the country illegally without background checks during the Biden-Harris administration is supposedly a sign of a lack of compassion. And claiming that a current declining rate of illegal immigration should allay voters’ supposed paranoias utterly ignores the millions of illegal aliens who were all but welcomed in by Biden-Harris before the 2024 election cycle. Voters are also talked down to ad nauseam that they do not appreciate the Biden-Harris economy, given the rate of inflation is falling. True. But most voters go shopping in a manner politicians do not. So, they resent such top-down sermons. They know best that prices for staple foods, fuel, insurance, and housing have spiked by some 20% to 30% since 2021—and stayed astronomically high. Currently, the auto industry is in crisis. Its huge inventory of electric vehicles sits unwanted and unsold. Harris and the Left, remember, mandated all sorts of EV standards in their war against the internal combustion engine. Then the proverbial people revolted against the comparatively limited range of EVs and the difficulty in finding accessible and quick-charging stations. So, the free market and consumer demand ignored the increasingly strident lectures. Likewise, Harris pontificated that crime that had spiked from 2021 to 2023 is now not all that bad. But voters know all too well that their major cities are now unsafe. They sense one reason this year that crime is not soaring as it was two years ago is because it had gotten so bad that any further commensurate increases would have made life utterly unlivable. The Harris campaign was further hurt by past videos that keep popping up of Harris lecturing voters about how they either must think correctly or remain cluelessly selfish or ignorant. So, a recent clip surfaced on Columbus Day 2021 of Harris lecturing America about Western civilization’s “shameful” sins in discovering the New World. Another video reveals Harris warning the country in 2020 on national television that the massive post-George Floyd demonstrations—that had turned violent and deadly—would not and should not stop, as if the country had to pay collective penance for its sins. This 2024 race may be becoming analogous to an October 1980 teachable moment. Then a preachy and sanctimonious incumbent President Jimmy Carter—ahead in the final October polls over challenger Ronald Reagan—finally turned off voters for good. The previously underdog Reagan won in a landslide for a variety of reasons. But certainly, one explanation was that the electorate had finally collectively shrugged off their weariness. They were sick and tired of Carter’s downer lectures about how they were wrong and culpable. Reagan, however, reminded voters that America was better than all of the alternatives, needed not be perfect to be good, and had nothing to apologize for. The same contrast will likely determine the election of 2024. COPYRIGHT 2024 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY LLC We publish a variety of perspectives.
