California continues to prove it's a totally disfunction entity

LAX’s nightmare ‘people mover’ delayed again three years after scheduled opening

The opening of the new People Mover train at Los Angeles International Airport has been pushed back — yet again — from October to sometime January.

The 2.25-mile automated train, which would move people in between terminals, was actually supposed to open back in 2023. It’s part of a $3.3 billion project that includes transportation between economy parking, the rental car center and the LAX Metro Transit Center.

Despite a deadline for the train’s completion in December, contractor LAX Integrated Express Solutions said in a September disclosure that it still has additional tasks to complete that may overrun that deadline, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The train still needs 30 days of successful consecutive testing and has to receive an independent overview and an assessment by Los Angeles World Airports. In addition, an utility agreement with the city Department of Water and Power also needs to be done.

January 6th is a potential start date, the contractor said, but even that date could not be guaranteed.

“There can be no assurances that achievement of the Passenger Service Availability Date will not be delayed further,” the contractor said in the filing.

Officials have announced that the project is actually more than 99% complete, but it also was embroiled in a bitter legal fight and cost overruns.

The LAX Automated People Mover, also known as SkyLink, began construction in 2019 with an original projected construction budget of $1.9 billion. After years of delays and contract disputes, the project’s cost has ballooned to $3.34 billion, including $1.34 billion in additional city payouts.

Also in July 2026, the contractor LINXS sued the city over unresolved contract and delay disputes after an additional $880 million was paid to the contractor consortium.

Los Angeles World Airports told the Times that it will not compromise on taking the necessary time for testing.

“We will not compromise on these stringent safety protocols, as delivering a system that safely, dependably and durably serves Los Angeles and our upcoming global events is our primary focus,” it said in a statement.

If it opens in January, the train could face a test with the upcoming Super Bowl in February at nearby SoFi Stadium after it already missed out on the World Cup.

Airport travelers told KTLA they were not surprised by the news of the delay.

“Like anything with construction, probably there’s going to be more delays,” traveler Robin Metz said.

A society with no consequences looks like this


Masked Massachusetts mob attacks McDonald’s worker behind counter during teen takeover; 4 arrested



Add The New York Post on Google

A group of masked Massachusetts teenagers stormed a McDonald’s restaurant and attacked an employee who was behind the counter during the chaotic invasion caught on camera.

Four teens were arrested for their roles in the violent takeover in Lynn — about 10 miles outside Boston — on Sept. 18 after a local football game let out, WHDH reported.

Distressing cellphone footage recorded from inside the McDonald’s shows the massive group descending into the fast-food joint before two of the teens are seen viciously attacking one of the workers.

Several teens — some of them wearing masks — circled the worker and rained punches on him before one appears to put him in a chokehold and pin him against the drive-thru window.

The video player is currently playing an ad.

The McDonald’s franchisee said the employee is OK following the mob beating, the outlet reported.


The Lynn Police Department launched an investigation after videos of the assault quickly spread across social media.

Detectives with the department’s Youth Services Unit, assisted by the gang unit and drug task force, identified four teens allegedly involved in the attack and obtained warrants for their arrest, the department wrote on Facebook Wednesday.

All four were taken into custody and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, trespassing, affray and civil rights violation with injury, police said.

Affray is the legal term for a public brawl that terrifies bystanders.

The teens are currently being held in a juvenile detention facility awaiting their court appearances, according to police.

Police are withholding the suspects’ identities from the public due to their ages amid the “active and ongoing investigation. 

Detectives are still working to identify others involved.

They are also looking into two separate incidents involving large groups of teenagers over the weekend — without disclosing where the second occurred — and noted only the McDonald’s incident turned violent.

The takeover has stunned the community, including Lynn Mayor Jared Nicholson.

“As a father, community member and mayor, I’m deeply concerned by the incidents involving young people in our community this weekend. The Lynn Police Department is actively investigating both incidents, and I have confidence that those responsible will be held accountable,” Nicholson wrote on Facebook Tuesday.

The teens are currently being held in a juvenile detention facility awaiting their court appearances, according to police.

Nicholson said he and his office have “expanded youth-focused investments in public safety, mental health, workforce development and education, while continuing to have the difficult conversations about what our young people need from us.”

“We will continue to address violence when it occurs, hold individuals accountable and, just as importantly, work together to give our young people the support, structure and opportunities they need to succeed,” the mayor wrote.

Nearby resident Charlie Stevens said in all his years living in Lynn, he’s never seen such unprovoked violence from young people.

“It’s just nuts because I was born and raised in this city. I don’t know, it’s just crazy,” Stevens told WHDH.

Another Lynn resident, Phillip Howlant, echoed Stevens’ concerns about the youth in the community.

“It’s sad that the youth don’t have what we had in the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, you know?” Howlant told the outlet.

“They don’t have the work ethic, they don’t grow up with understanding that you behave and you listen to olders, and you don’t do stuff like going to McDonald’s and doing that.”

Not much information about the attacker or why such a violent loon was on the street

Woman accused of biting chunk out of victim’s forehead in ‘zombie bite’ attack

A blood-curdling, random attack in downtown Seattle last week left a woman with injuries to her face similar to a “zombie bite,” she said.

Diana Gonzalez, 36, was walking to a 7-Eleven when a crazed suspect, identified as homeless woman Kamilia Chadli, threw a food wrapper at her. When Gonzalez questioned her actions, Chadli allegedly spit on her, used a homophobic slur, and called her “the inferior race.”

Chadli then allegedly began assaulting her, tossing her to the ground. 


Then, horrifyingly, Chadli allegedly took a bloody bite out of Gonzalez’s forehead. A nearby witness pulled the women apart and pursued Chadli after she allegedly fled the scene. Seattle police would later apprehend her, and she has been charged with felony second-degree assault.

These trannies do not deserve respect and should shunned everywhere

Report: Male Athletes Have Taken More Than 2,293 Gold Medals From Women

https://legalinsurrection.com/2026/09/report-male-athletes-have-taken-more-than-2293-gold-medals-from-women/

Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee: “How many more women and girls will be subjected to an uneven playing field?”


The Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) released a report showing that male athletes have stolen 2,293 gold medals from females.

CWALAC’s research discovered the following:

  • Trans-identifying males have stolen over 2,293 gold medals from women and girls in the United States, pushing each rightful champion down to second place.
  • Trans-identifying male athletes have stolen over $501,498 in prize money from women in professional sports.
  • In California alone, over 611 women and girls have taken silver below a male allowed to compete in the women’s category.
  • Trans-identifying males have competed in more than 14,301 female sport events, amateur and professional.

“It is shockingly unfair for biological women to have to compete against trans-identifying men,” said Penny Nance, CEO and President of CWALAC. “Our research finding that trans-identifying males have stolen over 2,293 gold medals from women in the United States is an outrage. Biological men have distinct advantages over biological women. This reality not only puts women in harm’s way, but it eliminates opportunities for biological women to earn a living and win competitions. Congress must act to protect biological women.”

CWALAC found increases in all of those categories since its July 2025 report.

“How many more women and girls will be subjected to an uneven playing field?” demanded Nance. “It’s time to put an end to this inherent unfairness and protect women’s sports.”

CWALAC also used data compiled from HeCheated, a program that tracks everything male athletes have stolen from female athletes.

Out of 1,165 male athletes:

  • 6,847 1st place finishes
  • 1,349+ stolen awards
  • 695+ broken records

“Congress should pass the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 (H.R.28/S.9) to prohibit federally funded school athletic programs from allowing males to compete in women’s and girls’ sports; the Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act (H.R.1028/S. 405) to clarify that sports National Governing Bodies must designate women’s sports for women only under their Congressional authorization; and The Title IX Clarification Act (H.R. 8781/S.5179) to clarify that, for purposes of Title IX’s prohibition on discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities, the term ‘sex’ refers solely to an individual’s biological status as male or female,” added Nance.

The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Wednesday called “Standing Up for Women in Sports: Ensuring Opportunity, Fairness and Safety for Female Athletes.”

During the hearing, Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) blasted Democrats because none of them showed up.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) showed up for a bit, but I guess he only did that because he’s the ranking member.

Durbin is awful:

He said NCAA president Charlie Baker, the former liberal GOP governor of Massachusetts, told Durbin there were fewer than 10 known transgender athletes among half a million college athletes.

“This vendetta against a small number of people in the trans community affects everyone” because even “cisgender girls,” an invented pathological term for girls without gender dysphoria, will endure “inappropriate gender verification checks” to keep male athletes out of their sports, Durbin claimed.

The real threats to female athletes are unequal pay and resources, rampant sexual abuse and other Title IX violations, Durbin said. He said he won’t ask questions at the hearing because it’s not a “responsible” use of the committee’s time, and got up to leave as Grassley swore in the witnesses.

Hey, Dick. ONE male athlete in female sports is too many. Absolutely NO male should be in a female sport.
