Homelessness

The Sweeps Continue Aggressive drug encampment sweeps in Seattle are happening on Easter weekend under Mayor Katie Wilson. On Saturday, city crews removed the so called “service resistant” from the corner of 3rd Ave and Blanchard St. But they all came roaring back after cops left the area. The game of Whack-A-Mole is out of control. This is near REACH HQ, the homeless outreach division of Evergreen Treatment Services. This non-profit has received millions of dollars in taxpayer funding from the city to address the street crisis. Yet they can’t even handle the problem right in front of their building. If one of the primary agencies tasked with getting men and women into housing can’t figure this out, how are Read More ›

Citizen Justice League It’s a privilege being part of the new Citizen Justice League, an elite group of independent journalists collaborating on some of the biggest stories across the nation. This week, I spoke to my friend and colleague James O’Keefe about our latest investigation into the cash for ballots fraud scheme which is still ongoing.

Gavin Newsom stood before the cameras in early March and once again blamed local governments for the state’s spiraling homelessness crisis. “No more excuses,” he thundered, threatening to strip funding from counties he claims are underperforming while promising to redirect “every damn penny” to those “getting things done.” Newsom is once again attempting to shift blame for California’s homelessness crisis — the very crisis he has repeatedly pledged to solve, including his 2021 vow to end family homelessness within five years. Since 2017, homelessness in California has surged by more than 40 percent — from roughly 134,000 people to nearly 187,000 in 2024 — despite an estimated $30 billion in spending he authorized. His latest tirade against counties ignores the Read More ›

Kevin Dahlgren and Jonathan Choe recently appeared on Newsmax’s Finnerty, hosted by Rob Finnerty, to discuss their joint investigation with Frontlines TPUSA and other independent journalists into a cash-for-ballots scheme in Skid Row. Dahlgren and Choe explain how ballot initiative workers are paying the homeless to fraudulently sign petitions in Los Angeles’ notoriously drug-infested and crime-ridden Skid Row. Dahlgren called the scheme “irresponsible, exploitative, cruel, illegal.” Skid Row’s Cash-for-Ballots Scheme Watch the full investigative video here:

Discovery Institute has joined up with Frontlines Turning Point USA, O’Keefe Media Group, and other independent journalists in a multi-part investigation into a cash-for-ballots scheme in Los Angeles’ Skid Row. Jonathan Choe and Kevin Dahlgren help expose the exploitation of the homeless, the theft of the identities of innocent Americans, and the violation of state law in some of America’s most crime-ridden streets. Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America, a human dumping ground infested with crime, open-air drug use, and unimaginable suffering on virtually every block. “This is hell on Earth,” I commented at one point. This chaos is also what allows alleged fraudsters to blend in and prey on the Read More ›

Exposed We Heart Seattle just exposed fentanyl smoking shacks inside taxpayer funded Low Income Housing Institute’s tiny house villages. But I was chasing this tip as well. Recently, I point-blank asked LIHI Executive Director Sharon Lee about these controversial “safe consumption” sites on her properties. Instead of giving me a yes or no answer, listen to what she had to say.

Developing An elderly homeless man is dead after being hit by a car near the Fred Meyer in Bellevue. It happened late Thursday evening along 148th Ave NE in a busy shopping corridor. Unclear if the rain and slick conditions played a role in what appears to be an accident. The driver stopped and is at the scene talking to cops. This is a developing story.

“Egg God’s” Apartment Breaking. We gained exclusive access to ‘Egg God’s’ apartment in Los Angeles with @choeshow and we interviewed him. He has a video that went insane, viral for destroying his subsidized apartment and then mocking his eviction notice. System Struggles to Respond The reality: Under Los Angeles’ strict tenant protection laws, what he’s implying is largely true. Evicting him won’t be easy, no matter how extreme the behavior. This is the flaw in the Housing First model. People are often placed into housing with no expectations on the front end and very few real consequences on the back end. When things go wrong, the system struggles to respond. Housing First Fails the Vulnerable Jonathan and I actually thought Read More ›

Another Day in Seattle Another drug encampment fire along Seattle’s Aurora Ave N. Neighbors reported several tents in this area before flames erupted Tuesday afternoon. Look at all the taxpayer dollars being wasted on this hot mess. Just another routine day in the city.

Skid Row I spent the last several days on Skid Row Los Angeles with @choeshow and what we documented is some of the best and most shocking footage I’ve ever done which is gonna come out soon in a longer form. Fix Homelessness Special thanks to @DiscoveryCWP who funded my trip.
