The hardcore communist in the race for Los Angeles mayor is melting down after last night’s results show her not making the runoff in November, and America is having a laugh.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, highly popular reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt appears to be on track to advance past the open primary for Los Angeles Mayor to face Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in the November runoff election. Pratt is currently leading Marxist LA City Councilwoman Nithya Raman and trailing Bass by a slim margin.

The margin, however, may still be within reach for Raman to finish ahead of Pratt if Democrats can ‘discover’ enough late mail-in ballots.

But the communist appears skeptical. A seemingly defeated Raman broke down in tears as she addressed her supporters at her campaign party.

Raman paid tribute to her children and falsely claimed her campaign had been about “building a city that is worthy of you.”

RAMAN (sobbing): I’ve been a candidate for something as long as you can remember, and you’ve had to live through it with me. And you’ve been so patient through all of it.

Thank you.

I hope you know that everything every person in this room is fighting for in this campaign has been about building a city that is worthy of you and every child in this city.

X users had plenty of schadenfreude upon seeing such leftist tears.

Disqualifying. I guess she’s not old enough to remember Geraldine Ferraro. Actually, she wasn’t even living in America then.

Her tears are annoying because she is FAKE. She’s an NGO corrupt grifter! Carpetbagger. Shame on her failed homeless record. Charming artsy Silver Lake…

AN incident aboard a Frontier Airlines flight turned into a scene straight out of an action film when a deranged passenger attempted to pry open an emergency exit door thousands of feet in the air, claiming he just wanted to “get off the plane,” before trying to force his way into the cockpit and choking an off-duty flight attendant.

The incident took place Sunday night on Frontier Airlines Flight 3345, which had departed from San Juan, Puerto Rico, bound for Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

About 45 minutes into the flight, 51-year-old Juan Gabriel Reyes of Pahokee, Florida, began acting erratically, according to an arrest affidavit from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and a federal criminal complaint, the New York Post reports.

Flight attendants and passengers spotted Reyes trying to open one of the aircraft’s emergency exit doors mid-flight.

When crew members ordered him to sit down and stop, he ignored them completely, rushed toward the front of the plane, and began shoving his shoulder aggressively against the cockpit door in an attempt to break in.

An off-duty flight attendant seated nearby volunteered to help keep the passenger under control, but when he briefly left to use the bathroom, the unhinged passenger allegedly snatched at his bag, grabbed him by the head, and began choking him.

That’s when a hero passenger stepped in.

Josh Longood, a Chicago-area former professional MMA fighter and Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt instructor who happened to be wearing a Jiu-Jitsu shirt, instantly jumped into action, using flex ties, seatbelts, and his fighting skills to restrain Reyes against the wall and tie him up in his seat for the remainder of the flight.

Cellphone video posted to social media captured the scene as Longood and multiple passengers held Reyes down while the plane was diverted for an emergency landing at Miami International Airport.

“He was just talking and acting crazy,” Longood told the Mansfield News Journal. “I could tell he wasn’t going to calm down, so I just kept an eye on him because there were females and young kids around.”

“I immediately responded and safely positioned him to where he couldn’t hurt anyone,” Longood said of the moment things hit the fan. “I’m just thankful I was seated close to him, so I was able to resolve the situation without anyone getting injured. It was my years of BJJ training that helped me stay calm and handle the situation.”

“I’m confident in my training and abilities to handle real-life situations like these,” he added.

The flight touched down safely around 11:55 p.m. local time.

Miami-Dade Sheriff’s deputies boarded the aircraft and arrested Reyes on a misdemeanor charge of battery.

The man who held people hostage at a Chase Bank in Bakersfield, California, was shot dead by the FBI after a 15-hour standoff.

On Tuesday afternoon, a man with bombs strapped to his chest held people hostage at a Chase Bank.

Nearby buildings were evacuated.

“An unidentified male subject is currently barricaded with an unknown number of members of our community, ”Sergeant Eric Celedon of the Bakersfield Police Department told ABC 23 on Tuesday. “Every single resource is at this site’s disposal.”

After a 15-hour standoff and negotiations, the man was shot dead by the FBI.

All of the hostages were rescued. No one was injured.

The AP reported:

A man holding hostages inside a building in California that houses a bank branch and school district office has been shot and killed by the FBI, police said Wednesday.

The suspect was killed in “an officer-involved shooting involving Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel,” the Bakersfield Police Department said in a statement. The standoff ended about 12 hours after police were called to the building, police said.

All the hostages are free and none was harmed, police said.

The standoff in downtown Bakersfield began Tuesday afternoon when officers responded to a call of a bomb threat at the Chase Bank building.

Bakersfield Police said the man barricaded himself inside with several people. Two were released Tuesday after negotiations with authorities.

In what has to be one of the most awkward public moments in recent history, former President Joe Biden, 83, hijacked his wife Jill Biden’s debut book event Tuesday night, wandering up to the stage uninvited to ask her, in front of a live audience, “Who do you love most in the whole world?”

The cringe-inducing scene took place at the 92nd Street Y on Manhattan’s Upper East Side during a Q&A session promoting Jill Biden’s new memoir, A View from the East Wing.

The event, moderated by The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg, was meant to celebrate the former First Lady’s reflections on her time in the White House.

Instead, it turned into yet another spotlight-stealing display from the likely senile former president.

Jill Biden, 75, had just wrapped up the discussion when an audience member submitted a comment thanking Joe Biden for his service.

Jill stood and led the room in a standing ovation for her husband, who was seated in the audience.

That’s when Biden decided the moment was all about him.

Without a microphone and flanked by security, Biden left his seat, strolled to the edge of the stage, and interrupted the event by declaring, “I have a question,” according to a report from the New York Post.

“Joe has a question, like you couldn’t ask it later?” Jill fired back.

“Who do you love most in the whole world?” Biden responded, clearly not taking a hint.

“Whoopi,” Jill replied, prompting laughter from the likely-uncomfortable audience.

Biden, apparently unhappy with the response, just stared at her with his mouth agape.

“I love you most, Joe. Was that it? Was that the answer he wanted?” Jill said.

“It’s overwhelming, isn’t it?” Biden replied, still speaking without a microphone.

Jill kept the banter going, joking that she likes to keep him guessing, “Overwhelming, well, that’s what keeps him on his toes. He’s never 100% sure. I always keep him guessing, is that not true?”

At that point, Biden lowered his head and made the sign of the cross, a move that only added to the surreal atmosphere.

Goldberg tried to steer things back on track, urging the audience to buy Jill’s book. But Biden wasn’t done.

Biden pointed and began promoting his own upcoming memoir, “My book, which comes out in September, read it…”

A crew member finally handed him a microphone.

Jill, clearly trying to regain control of her event, joked, “Do I have to remind him that this is my event?”

Biden didn’t stop.

“The only thing that Jill does better than write [is], she’s a beautiful woman,” he said.

Earlier in the talk, Jill reportedly spoke about Joe’s Stage IV prostate cancer diagnosis in May of last year, which had already spread to his bones.

She noted he completed radiation therapy in October and said, “You see Joe here tonight, he looks handsome as ever … but you know, cancer drugs, cancer treatments have those consequences, and those consequences are pretty tough.”

The Gateway Pundit will update this article if the video of the interruption is made public online.

Fired 60 Minutes propagandist Scott Pelley has responded furiously to his termination, and it’s the equivalent of the pot calling the kettle black.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, CBS News fired Pelley on Tuesday night, a day after he blasted editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and accused her of trying to ‘murder’ the show.

Then, newly appointed “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton told Pelley in a scathing letter that he was fired “for cause, effective immediately.”

“You hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt, Bilton wrote.

“I am here to deliver first-in-class news programming, not to make headlines about newsroom drama, he added. “Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear. And I have heard you.”

On Wednesday, Variety obtained Pelley’s response. As one will see, he is living in another world.

Here is the statement:

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified.

To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

What makes this statement so ironic is that Pelley is the very definition of a lying propagandist.

Just last May, he gave a hateful, falsehood-filled graduation speech at Wake Forest University. Unsurprisingly, the focus of his rage was President Trump.

Courtesy of Newsbusters, here were the lowlights of the speech:

Scott Pelley gave a commencement address at Wake Forest University that seethed with implicit hate for President Trump and the MAGA movement, telling graduates “freedom of speech,” “journalism,” “our sacred rule of law,” and “universities” are all “under attack” with “an insidious fear” permeating American “businesses,” “homes,” “school[s],” and even “private thoughts.”

Pelley encouraged graduates to rise up, comparing them to Unionists fighting the Confederacy, the Allies fighting the Nazis, and the civil rights movement standing up to segregationists. So, to make sure we’re all on the same page, Pelley believes Trump and tens of millions of supporters are akin to Confederates, Nazis, and segregationists (so the Ku Klux Klan)…

This led right into the first meltdown about America “need[ing] you” because the country has moved away from a mindset in which “[r]easonable people [can] differ about the life of our country,” instead of “demonize” and “destroy.”

WATCH:

Pompous CBS journalist Scott Pelley closed his commencement address at Wake Forest by telling graduates they “are the fierce defenders of democracy, the seekers of truth,” and “the vanguard against ignorance” that’s taken over the country (i.e. Trump).

He added: “In a moment… pic.twitter.com/EzFV79yJRR
