Alexander Soofer, the director of an L.A. charity, has been arrested for allegedly defrauding the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) of $23 million. Soofer is accused of using the funds, intended to combat homelessness, for personal expenses, including a $7 million house and luxury vehicles. The DOJ is cracking down on this abuse of funds, with officials calling California a "poster child" for waste and fraud. The investigation highlights the lack of oversight in California's homeless programs and the misuse of taxpayer money that should be helping those in need. This latest scandal fuels the debate over LAHSA's effectiveness in solving the growing homeless problem, with accountability coming into sharp focus.

The CEO of a homelessness nonprofit, Abundant Blessings, is facing federal and state fraud charges after allegedly living a luxury lifestyle on $23 million in public funds meant to keep people off the streets. A $7 million home. A $125,000 Range Rover. Designer clothes, Greek vacation property, Hawaii trips, and stays at the Four Seasons—while homeless residents were reportedly fed canned beans and microwavable ramen. Prosecutors say invoices were falsified to claim fresh meals and proper housing that never existed. The charity was contracted by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority with virtually no oversight, raising serious questions about insider connections, accountability, and how many similar contracts are quietly bleeding taxpayers dry. This isn't charity—it's a system-wide grift.

The state has begun funding pop-up shelters in four additional locations this year, a formidable effort that materializes and evaporates based on the weather.
Over the weekend, seven New Yorkers perished in the cold and snow despite the city's outreach attempts to get unhoused people in shelter. Dave Giffen, executive director of Coalition for the Homeless, explains why these efforts fell short, and what the city can do to get the homeless population indoors and save lives.
Washington state lawmakers want to make it virtually impossible to clear homeless encampments—ever again. House Bill 2489 sets the bar so absurdly high that no shelter in the state could meet the requirements: must accept pets, partners, unlimited personal possessions, AND cannot mandate any behavioral health treatment. Translation? Taxpayers foot the bill while addicts and mentally ill people slowly die on sidewalks, and police can't clear blocked walkways or address fire hazards. Even Redmond's police chief admits no shelter meets these fantasy standards, meaning enforcement becomes illegal no matter how many empty beds exist. This is Washington's response to the Supreme Court green-lighting encampment sweeps—progressive legislators basically saying "camp wherever you want, consequences be damned." Seattle's new socialist mayor already canceled sweeps, and if this bill passes, the entire state becomes a magnet for West Coast homelessness. Portland and San Francisco tried this experiment. How'd that work out? Is anyone surprised the ACLU is cheerleading this race to the bottom? When will lawmakers admit that compassion without accountability just enables more overdose deaths?
Portland passes an urban camping ban with arrests but zero convictions. Shocked? You shouldn't be. Let's break down this masterclass in government theater: 21 people arrested, but thanks to public defender shortages, no-show defendants, and prosecutors who dismiss charges faster than you can say "progressive policies," not a single person has faced consequences. Meanwhile, Washington State is sprinting in the opposite direction—legislators are about to make sweeps virtually impossible statewide, creating such strict shelter requirements that no city will ever meet them. The Supreme Court says sweeping camps isn't cruel and unusual punishment, but Seattle and Olympia apparently know better. So what happens when one state pretends to enforce laws while the other rolls out the welcome mat? Homeless folks aren't stupid—they'll go where the benefits flow and the sweeps don't. Is this compassion or just enabling chaos on taxpayer dime? Are we watching Portland's failed experiment become Washington's official policy? Drop your thoughts below, hit subscribe, and let's call out this insanity together.

Episode 618 If you have ever wondered what consistent daily activity actually looks like when it is done the right way, grab a free walkthrough of the Freedom Tracker at GetMoreLoans.com and see how the numbers line up when you stop guessing and start tracking. Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl sits down with Juan Flores, a loan officer out of Chattanooga, Tennessee, whose story will stop you in your tracks. Juan went from being homeless to closing 79 loans for just under $23 million last year, all in less than three years in the mortgage business. Juan breaks down exactly how disciplined tracking, non negotiable daily activity, and calling with real intention helped him build momentum fast. He shares how focusing on talk tos, face to face meetings, and simple accountability systems replaced overwhelm with clarity and confidence. The conversation dives into agent outreach, open house strategy, why better known beats better, and how asking directly for the business accelerates growth. Juan also opens up about rebuilding his life, staying coachable, and learning to balance family and production without losing focus. If you want proof that consistent activity beats talent, systems beat hustle, and accountability changes everything, this episode will challenge you to raise your standards, track what matters, and start making more offers every single day.

Washington state Democrats just decided to make homelessness permanent. House Bill 2489 sets such impossible standards for shelter—pets, partners, belongings allowed, no sobriety requirements—that cities will never be able to sweep another encampment again. Meanwhile, Portland and San Francisco are actively clearing camps and seeing results, but Washington? They're going full speed in the opposite direction.This bill strips local governments of their power to protect parks, businesses, and neighborhoods from open-air drug markets disguised as "life-sustaining activities." Seattle's new socialist mayor already canceled her first scheduled sweep, and if this passes, expect tent cities to explode across every public space in the state. The Democrats want this—they think letting drug addicts die in the gutter with their "civil liberties intact" is compassionate policy.Is anyone surprised Washington is working this hard to destroy itself? What about the civil liberties of families who can't use parks covered in needles and human waste?
Gavin Newsom is desperately touting a 9% drop in unsheltered homelessness as his presidential audition begins—conveniently forgetting that homelessness exploded 34% under his watch since 2019. That's 50,000 more people living on the streets, but sure, let's celebrate a tiny dip at the end and call it a win. After spending $24 billion with no accountability and using volunteer counts we know are wildly inaccurate, the Governor is cherry-picking data like his political life depends on it—because it does. The reality? Walk through Skid Row, Venice Beach, or downtown LA and tell me if you notice a 9% improvement. This is classic political spin: create a disaster, claim credit for a marginal correction, and hope voters in other states don't know California leads the nation in homelessness, fraud, out-migration, and sky-high costs. Is anyone buying this gaslighting? Can Newsom seriously run for president when his state became a homeless magnet on his watch?

Yet again, Portland discovers what everyone with common sense already knew: roughly 1 in 4 people in homeless encampments have outstanding arrest warrants, with some camps hitting nearly 40%. Shocking? Absolutely not. This video breaks down the new data revealing how these encampments have become magnets for crime, drug dealing, stolen goods, and violence. We explore Portland's sharp turn on enforcement after hitting rock bottom, compare it to Seattle's refusal to act, and examine how 18-20% of shootings are connected to homeless encampments. Meanwhile, Seattle's new mayor just halted a sweep—because what could go wrong with letting criminal activity flourish, right? The data is clear: allowing people to camp wherever they want creates dens of lawlessness that prey on communities and endanger the very people these policies claim to help. Is anyone surprised that "compassion" without accountability leads to chaos? Should cities keep rebuilding parks that get destroyed, or is it time for actual consequences?

Gavin Newsom is celebrating a 9% drop in unsheltered homelessness while simultaneously rolling out another $419 million in state grants. If billions upon billions of California taxpayer dollars were actually working, wouldn't we see more than a 9% reduction? We dive into the elaborate homeless encampments under LA's freeways—complete with TVs, furniture, and fire hazards that could recreate the massive 2023 freeway inferno. Meanwhile, San Francisco's mayor admits the city spends a cool billion dollars on homelessness annually. That's billion with a B.Watch as we break down the whack-a-mole reality of encampment sweeps, the "housing first" policy that keeps attracting more people, and why some cities like San Francisco are finally getting tough while Seattle reimagines doing absolutely nothing. California can't account for $22 billion in recently spent funds, yet here we go again with hundreds of millions more. At what point do we admit this isn't working?

LA County just raised sales tax to fund $1.1 billion for homelessness—and now they're slashing $219 million from those same programs. You can't make this up. With 72,000 homeless people (nearly 10% of the entire U.S. homeless population), LA has perfected the art of building the homeless industrial complex and watching them come. We break down the budget crisis, the 46% increase in shelter bed costs (seriously, what are they buying?), and why cutting funding might actually reduce homelessness more than throwing billions at it. Plus, we compare LA's approach to Seattle's new socialist mayor who just cancelled encampment sweeps—because that worked so well during the pandemic, right? Spoiler alert: If you build it, they will come. If you don't... they'll migrate to the next city with better perks.

California saw a 9 percent drop in homelessness in 2025 a figure that Governor Newsom is holding up as a sign that his policies are making a difference for the state's unhoused residents.

Oregon just spent over a BILLION dollars on homelessness, added 11,000 shelter beds, and yet homelessness surged 15%. Shocked? You shouldn't be. This video exposes the "if you build it, they will come" disaster unfolding in Portland, Seattle, and beyond. We break down how Oregon's $45,000-per-homeless-person spending spree is creating a drug-fueled vortex while officials scratch their heads wondering why people won't accept shelter. Spoiler: They're too busy doing drugs in tent cities with zero accountability.The state needs 96,000 more housing units while Portland celebrates adding 1,500 beds. Meanwhile, advocates still blame "high rent" instead of addressing the actual problem—enabling addiction without consequences. We dive into the numbers, the failed "housing first" ideology, and why unconditional support keeps these communities trapped in cycles of dependency.

In this podcast, host Greg Voisen sits down with seasoned executive coach and author Kris Girrell to peel back the layers of a phenomenon sweeping through modern society: the rise of the "spiritual but not religious." If you have ever felt like you've outgrown the rigid pews of traditional doctrine or felt a "dark night of the soul" burning away your old certainties, this conversation is your roadmap. Kris discusses his provocative book, Spiritually Homeless, exploring why so many people are jettisoning inherited beliefs to find a more authentic, direct connection with the divine. Are you truly letting go, or just checking out? How do you distinguish between the ego's chatter and the soul's whisper? Greg and Kris dive deep into the "unselfing" process, the necessity of embracing mystery over certainty, and how to find a new kind of community when you no longer fit in the old one. This episode isn't just about leaving a building; it's about arriving at your true self. What You Will Learn By tuning into this episode, listeners will gain insights into: - The Developmental Shift: Why maturing as an adult often forces us out of "black and white" religious thinking into a more complex, nuanced spirituality. - The "Unselfing" Process: How to dismantle the power of the ego to allow the "Big Self" (the soul) to emerge. - Navigating the Dark Night: Understanding that spiritual pain is often a "purification fire" designed to burn away old, inherited beliefs. - Integration of Awe: How to process profound "spot-weld moments" of oneness and integrate them into a non-religious daily life. - The Power of Unknowing: Why letting go of the need for answers—and even the questions themselves—is a vital spiritual tool.

US Attorney Bill Essayli alleges that real estate executives stole millions from pandemic-era programs, with dozens of active probes underway. Meanwhile, in the wake of the Palisades wildfires, CA Gov. Gavin Newsom is requesting (even more) billions of dollars of federal disaster aid – leaving many CA residents to wonder where their tax dollars have been going.

Stefan Molyneux takes a look at how people reacted to an ICE raid in Minneapolis, pointing out what he sees as blindness to government authority. He throws in some jokes about how men and women handle threats differently, then weighs in on a caller's situation—whether to let a colleague crash at his place. From there, Molyneux shifts to the government's place in society and some broader international tensions, pushing folks to question the big ideological fights and consider their own role in how things turn out.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
Trump's attack on Venezuela is likely to weaken his political support even further, because it does nothing about affordability or health care. And it's not at all clear the big oil companies want to spend billions restoring Venezuelan production. John Nichols comments.Also: the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered the VA to provide housing for disabled vets on its land in Los Angeles, something they have refused to do for more than a decade.

Listen without ads at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey! Dave rings in the first Friday of 2026 with multimedia superstar and Queen of Melrose, Cosmo Lambino—fresh off Soft White Underbelly fame—spilling a wild Harlem-to-Hollywood saga of mob-adjacent glamour (Godfather shoots at grandma's apartment, fur coats from car trunks), early gay defiance against Jehovah's Witnesses, freebase-fueled club chaos, near-misses with Michael Jackson pasta invites, MacArthur Park crack binges, cardboard-box homelessness, and finally sustained sobriety (8+ years strong) through rigorous daily step-writing, meditation, and Tarzana redemption. Dave raves about Avatar: The Last Airbender bonding with his kid, plugs Patreon Zooms and ad-free listening, reads spicy Spotify comments (mushroom nipples, crack exam tales), shares voicemails (stolen lunchbox heist gone wrong, Hexen research-chemical nightmare), teases upcoming content, and shouts out community heroes while vowing to care less about haters. All that and more on this first Friday Dopey of 2026! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
