FIFA World Cup 2026

This month on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Vice President JD Vance discussed Israel, Jeffrey Epstein, and aliens, topics that have lit up public conversation. Largely overlooked, however, were his thought-provoking remarks about America’s homelessness crisis, which highlight the harmful results of present policies in some of our largest cities and the need to enact new policies that prioritize restoring lives. Vance recalled attending an office Christmas party near Skid Row, the notorious 50-block area in downtown Los Angeles overcome by homelessness, illicit drug use, and crime. He described armed security and “gigantic walls” protecting the party. He told Joe Rogan that it reminded him of visiting the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. “Crazy wealth and status and privilege on the Read More ›

The final FIFA World Cup game hosted in Seattle ended in the disappointing loss of the United States to Belgium. But for Seattle, a city so overcome by drug addiction, mental illness, and street-level homelessness, the weeks-long event was a smashing success. Downtown sparkled as it welcomed visitors from around the world for the six games it hosted at Lumen Field, rebranded Seattle Stadium for the tournament. In addition to exciting games, soccer fans enjoyed a city with noticeably cleaner streets and few visible signs of homelessness, drug addiction, and mental illness that are familiar to residents. But this is not what long-term success looks like. Mayor Katie Wilson and her team did not clean up the city. They simply Read More ›

At War Chinatown-ID is going to war with socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson. CID leaders are now pumping out protest signs with a red X mark crossing out Wilson’s face. They say she’s dumped the city’s homeless drug addicts into their Asian American neighborhood to protect World Cup fans from secondhand fentanyl smoke and the human wreckage on the streets. I’ve got more from today’s demonstration coming up.

Enough is Enough Team USA will be playing on Monday in Seattle. Expect a mega protest against Mayor Katie Wilson and the city. Chinatown-ID residents accuse Wilson of pushing homeless drug addicts into their community so downtown tourists won’t have to see the street crisis. The CID has had enough.

Historic District Neglected Chinatown-ID advocates just torched Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, calling her a “racist” for allowing the neighborhood to devolve into a human dumping ground. Dozens of Asian Americans and their allies marched to the World Cup stadium today to say they’re missing out on invaluable foot traffic because Wilson (a WHITE woman) shoved homeless drug addicts into the CID. Here’s a quick preview. More to come.

Foot Patrols Clear Criminal Activity Crime hotspots and drug dens in Seattle’s Chinatown-ID are now seeing more police foot patrols this weekend. This is clearly in response to the community outrage directed at Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson. She’s accused of pushing homeless drug addicts into this Asian American neighborhood so World Cup fans feel safer in the downtown tourist corridor. But what happens after World Cup matches end and tourists leave the city?

World Cup Fallout Homeless drug addicts have taken over several streets and abandoned houses in South Seattle. The attitude of entitlement is out of control with this crew. They hurled water balloons in my direction then claimed to own the area. This hot mess is right next to a massive pickleball facility and school for the blind. Neighbors can thank Mayor Katie Wilson for this fallout. She’s accused of pushing encampments into other parts of the city to protect World Cup fans.

Overlooked Communities Bearing the Brunt of Homeless Shuffle Less than 24 hours before the first FIFA World Cup match is played in Seattle. But parts of the city look like a zombie apocalypse. Mayor Katie Wilson is accused of pushing homeless drug addicts outside of the downtown tourist corridor so fans do not get upset or inhale second hand fetty smoke. Problem is, the addicts have all been pushed to vulnerable minority communities like Chinatown-ID. And business owners are pissed.

Worse Than Ever Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson wants these homeless drug addicts far away from the FIFA World Cup stadium in SODO. Imagine if fans and visitors saw the open-air drug use, tent encampments, and permissive street culture. What would they think of the city? We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez and I are checking in on the city’s problematic hot spots. Right now, it looks worse than ever as Wilson pushes the addicts further away from the downtown tourist corridor. For whatever it’s worth, there’s another mega sweep scheduled for Friday in SODO. Will it make a difference?

T-4 Days Until World Cup Comes to Seattle Just days before the FIFA World Cup in Seattle, someone is firing steel BB’s at homeless drug addicts near Dr. Jose Rizal Park. This area is just minutes from the stadium where soccer matches will be played. Neighbors say they are seeing a cluster of new tents after Wilson aggressively swept encampments near the downtown tourist corridor. The mayor is accused of trying to mask the city’s drug crisis by pushing addicts to other parts of the city like Beacon Hill, Chinatown-ID, and now the East Duwamish Greenbelt. As long as fans do not see the urban decay and human suffering, the Wilson administration likely believes that’s a win.
