Actress Mandy Moore has revealed that her 2-year-old son August, nicknamed Gus, has been diagnosed with a rare skin condition called Gianotti Crosti syndrome.Moore took to social media on Friday to describe a "crazy rash" Gus woke up with last week."We thought maybe an eczema flare?

LA Residents Told Authorities ‘Don’t Tread on Me,’ Lit up Sky in Spectacular Show of Defiance – RedState

Happy 4th of July, RedStaters! It’s certainly a much happier time for Los Angeles residents than it was in 2020, thankfully. The Golden State, like many other places, was gripped by COVID hysteria and locked down by hysterical health officials and government authorities. People drove around in their cars by themselves with masks on—fending off catching the Wuhan Flu from invisible people, presumably—parks and beaches were closed, folks were terrified of one another, and many schools were shuttered for a full year and a half. To this day, many people who didn’t live in places like California don’t quite understand the true insanity of what we endured. For Independence Day in ’20, firework displays were canceled and we were told to stay home and “socially isolate.” Proving, however, that ...

What Does California’s Homeless Population Actually Look Like?

This past week, Vanity Fair published a story on California politics in which Nancy Pelosi weighed in on the state’s homelessness crisis. Though the state has poured a number of resources into housing the homeless population, especially during the pandemic, there are “a lot of people who don’t want to come off the street,” Pelosi said. “It’s drugs and mental health. If we don’t get the mentally ill off the street, we’re never going to solve the homeless problem.” Pelosi, to her credit, has pushed for more affordable housing in the state, but her statement reflects a frustrating feature of homelessness discourse: an emphasis on drug abuse and mental illness, rather than a lack of housing, as the source of the problem. Many people talk about California’s homeless community as a monolith, ye...
