Far-left Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman defeated former reality TV star Spencer Pratt in the primary election for L.A. mayor, according to the Associated Press and NBC News.Raman will go head-to-head with incumbent Karen Bass in the November general election.'Not possible for Spencer Pratt to have lost the LA runoffs after the big lead he had.'Now, a week after Election Day and with 92% of the votes counted, Bass received 275,992 votes, Raman received 229,576, and Pratt received 207,757.Many have criticized California for running a "rigged" election after Pratt had a 40,000-vote lead and a nearly 10-point advantage over Raman, which shrank rapidly over the weekend. Raman, who gave a concession speech on election night, reacted on Monday to the latest vote-counting results.“I’m incredibly honored that voters have given us the opportunity to advance to the general election for Mayor of Los Angeles,” Raman wrote in a post on social media. “Now our fight for a healthier, safer, more affordable, and more joyful Los Angeles continues. For too long, City Hall has prioritized giving political advantage to powerful interests that fund elections. Meanwhile, working people pay the price in higher rents, depleted services, and a city that has stopped working for them.”RELATED: ‘Absolutely RIGGED’: Critics question Raman’s ‘statistically impossible’ surge past Pratt in LA mayor race HIGHFIVE/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images“If you’re as frustrated by the broken status quo as I am, I hope you’ll join our movement to build a city that works for everyone,” she added.Libs of TikTok replied to Raman’s post, calling her a “cheater.”New Mexico state Rep.

New York Knicks fans were among the loudest of any in their reaction to President Trump's appearance at the NBA Finals on Monday night.There was one hurdle that Trump supporters in the building seemingly had to overcome though — their fellow Knicks fans.'He's a genuine Knicks fan.'The president attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals amid heightened security at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with the hometown Knicks hosting the San Antonio Spurs.When the president made his first appearance on the in-arena big screen, it looked like Trump being the first sitting POTUS to attend an NBA Finals was not going over well with fans. A mixture of jeers and boos chorused through the building as Trump was shown alongside his granddaughter Kai during the national anthem; both of them smirked at the reaction.However, as the night went on, Trump seemed to gain a bit more favorability, especially when the New York Fire Department made its way onto the court for a presentation.The crowd erupted into chants of "USA! USA!" as the president pumped his fist along with some of the patriots in attendance. RELATED: LA Dodgers pitcher refuses to comply with Pride Night, enraging progressive fans The crowd seemed to cheer for the president later in the game when he was shown on-screen with Knicks owner James Dolan, but it is difficult to tell if the images of Trump shown on television were what garnered the reaction from fans.Regardless of their support for the president, Knicks fans went home upset after their team lost 115-111, with the Spurs cutting into the Knicks' series lead, which now sits at 2-1.Chaos filled the streets after the game, and fights broke out despite a heavy NYPD presence. New Yorkers also seemed to target Spurs fans with violence, according to multiple videos posted on X. One younger male had his Spurs jersey ripped off of him, while an older man in a Spurs jersey was chased by a group of fans who were throwing objects at him.RELATED: The NBA is finally going with a pro-America stance: 'We're proud' - YouTube Before the game, there was plenty of contentiousness surrounding Trump's appearance, with multiple New York Democrats questioning his support for the team.Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said it wasn't clear to him that Trump was a real fan, while New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) suggested Trump couldn't name the "1993 championship team," which is a strange reference as the Knicks did not win the Eastern Conference or the NBA Finals that year.NBA Commissioner Adam Silver cleared up some of the controversy in an interview with ESPN when he said Trump was invited to the game by the Knicks owner, and he even described the president as a "fixture at Madison Square Garden" in the past."Back in the old days, he had courtside seats. He was here all the time. He was at the draft. So he's a genuine Knicks fan," Silver stated. Regarding Trump attending the game, the commissioner concluded, "I think we should be using sports to create more of a sense of community with people, not less."Like Blaze News?

An attempted beheading in the Kinnaird Avenue area of North Belfast was thwarted late Monday night after a stick-wielding Good Samaritan and other passersby intervened, giving the attacker a good thwacking.Although he kept his head, the victim — a citizen in his 40s — was taken to the hospital in serious condition with "significant injuries to his face, neck, and back," according to a police press release.'We do not have to live like this.'The suspected attacker, a Sudanese national in his 30s whom the Police Service of Northern Ireland initially mistook for a Somali, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He remains in police custody.Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson said in a statement, "This brutal attack will have sent shock waves through the community, causing real concern. I want to reassure the local community that we are treating this attack with the utmost seriousness."Citing the supposed risk of further traumatizing the victim, Henderson implored "members of the public not to share or repost" images or footage of the attack.Despite the urging by police, remigration activist Tommy Robinson and other transparency-oriented members of the British public have shared the horrific footage, which shows a black male sitting atop a bloodied victim, shouting something in a foreign tongue, then carving into the victim's throat.RELATED: British cop involved in Henry Nowak murder case resigns as fury intensifies over damning arrest footage Tejas Sandhu/SOPA Images/LightRocket/Getty ImagesA burly gentleman armed with a hurling stick can be seen rushing into action and repeatedly hammering the suspect over the head. Another two men rush in to help — one attempting to pull the victim to safety and the other giving a few well-placed kicks to the aggressor's head.In the House of Commons on Tuesday, Hilary Benn, the secretary of state for Northern Ireland, addressed the Good Samaritans who intervened, stating, "You showed the very best of humanity, and you have the profound gratitude of this entire House."Gavin Robinson, a member of the British Parliament for East Belfast who pressed Benn to comment on the matter, claimed that the Sudanese suspect behind the "medieval" attack was in the country on a five-year visa."Having abused the privilege of our nation, the perpetrator living in the U.K. under a five-year visa needs to be convicted and deported on the first flight out on a one-way ticket," said Robinson.While Benn refused to divulge whether the suspected attacker first entered Northern Ireland illegally, he said that "any foreign national who abuses the hospitality of this country to commit crimes should be in no doubt of our determination to deport them."Rupert Lowe, a British lawmaker who serves as leader of Restore Britain, demanded on Tuesday that Prime Minister Keir Starmer — who characterized the attempted beheading as "sickening" — provide "full details of this savage's nationality, immigration status, and religion," stressing that the "British people need to know the full truth." "I have had enough. The British people have had enough. We do not have to live like this," wrote Lowe. "There is another way. Death penalty, mass deportations, end mass immigration."While British conservative politician Matt Vickers, the MP of Stockton West, did not advocate for the death penalty, he was among those who similarly demanded that the government release the relevant facts "to avoid speculation and prevent an information vacuum, which the independent reviewer of terror legislation has warned about.""If there have been failings on our borders, this is yet another reminder that we do need stronger borders and this is why we believe it is time to leave the [European Convention on Human Rights,]" added Vickers.While some politicians want answers, others have expressed concern that this latest apparent instance of imported violence might be used by the right in criticism of Britain's failed migration policies.Colum Eastwood, an Irish politician who served as the leader of the Social Democratic and Labour Party, stated, for instance, "The horrific scenes in North Belfast should not be used by English, right wing politicians to further their own ends."The Green Party stated, "There are those who will seek to use this to further their aims, to create division, marginalise vulnerable communities, and undo the steps we have made toward a more cohesive society. We must not let them."Mass protests are expected to rock Belfast on Tuesday evening.Lowe cautioned protesters in advance: "Patriots — if you are protesting tonight, in Belfast or elsewhere, do NOT give Starmer what he wants. Stay calm. Keep your heads. Do NOT attack the police. The state will show you no mercy. The dangerous ‘far-right’ will be blamed, and your life will be ruined forever. It will be that brutal. However angry you are feeling now, it is not worth it. Protest — but do it loudly, do it peacefully."Tommy Robinson, who has advertised the protests, said in a statement, "Stop dumping these third world savages into our communities!"Like Blaze News?
