    West Hollywood in CRISIS — She Says She Can Fix It

    West Hollywood City Council candidate Tanya Sikhanovsky joins Stella Inger Escobedo to discuss rising antisemitism, political hypocrisy, public safety, and the future of West Hollywood, California. As the city faces growing concerns over crime, homelessness, and local leadership, Sikhanovsky explains why she’s running for office and what she believes needs to change. In this exclusive interview on Stella News, Sikhanovsky shares her personal experiences with antisemitism and exclusion in a city that prides itself on diversity, inclusion, and progressive values. She discusses the impact of October 7th on West Hollywood’s Jewish community, her growing disillusionment with the Democratic Party, and the political divisions affecting longtime friendships and communities. The conversation also explores West Hollywood’s changing identity, from what Sikhanovsky remembers as the “gay Beverly Hills” to a city grappling with public safety concerns, homelessness, urban development, and controversial local policies. She outlines her campaign priorities, including support for law enforcement, community safety, responsible city planning, and protecting the character of West Hollywood. With local elections approaching, Stella and Tanya discuss the influence of progressive and socialist candidates, the importance of civic engagement, and why voters should pay closer attention to the decisions being made at the city council level.

    United Airlines Pilot Under Fire: Why the FBI Has Stepped In?

    United Airlines pilot Ibrahim Mossallam, his comments defending the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, and questions about his return to flying are the focus of this interview with journalist Libby Blanca Alon and Stella Escobedo.

Stella and Libby also discuss his reported leadership role at CAIR-New York, United’s handling of the controversy, and calls for greater transparency and pilot vetting. Libby says the FBI is investigating the matter. The conversation explores passenger safety, aviation security, public trust, and the questions Libby believes United Airlines still needs to answer.

    France on Fire: She Explains the REAL Reason

    France is on fire, but is the unrest really just about education reform? Stella Escobedo speaks with Catherine Perez-Shakdam about the destruction, the media coverage, and what Catherine argues is really happening in the country where she grew up. Born and raised in Paris, Catherine describes how she gained access to political and religious figures inside the Islamic Republic of Iran. Drawing on that experience, she challenges the portrayal of France’s unrest as simply a dispute over schools and education funding, arguing that deeper ideological threats deserve scrutiny. In this episode, Stella and Catherine discuss political Islam, radical ideologies, Western civilization, cultural identity, and the role of education in protecting future generations. They also reflect on leadership, courage, and the responsibility to defend freedom. The conversation includes the bravery of Indian Flydubai captain Smit Machchhar, protecting children’s futures, and the importance of political engagement ahead of the U.S. midterm elections.

    UK Anchor DESTROYS Government Over Foiled RAF Plot

    Suspected terror plot at RAF Fairford: five men arrested near the British air base used by the U.S. Air Force for strikes on Iran, on suspicion of explosives and terrorism offences. Then all five were released on bail. Counter-terror police say they remain under investigation and are looking at whether foreign-state proxies were involved. And now a UK news anchor is saying what the government won't. TalkTV host Alex Phillips went viral for tearing into the government in her monologue, because they refuse to connect the dots with illegal mass migration, Islamist extremism and national security. Not all heroes wear capes. I spent years in mainstream media. You would never be allowed to say what Alex said on air. But people are fed up. Europe has had enough. And here in America, after what we saw at our southern border under the Biden administration, we aren't far behind. Watch Alex Phillips' full takedown, the UK government's response, and my breakdown of what this means for U.S. troops overseas and for America's own border security. 🔔 Subscribe to Stella News for independent, accountability journalism the mainstream media won't touch.
