Sacramento Bee Fail: Another Failed Hit Piece, More Glory for California Trump Supporters

Finally, after waiting two weeks, the Sacramento Bee published their story about me anothers who have protested illegal alien pandering politicians throughout the state of California, particularly in Southern California, and focusing on Ricardo Lara and Kevin De Leon.

Check out the article below, with my commentary to follow:


The letter begins with “Dear Corrupt Mexican” and ends with “hurry up and die.” It’s signed “White Power.”

The words were typed on a note card and sent to Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León’s Capitol office earlier this year. His staff members put the letter in a file now full of racist and threatening mail in the receptionist’s desk.

Wow!

I don't believe in sending people death threats. I may be uncivil at times, but I am interested in saving civilization, not destroying it.

Also, I don't respect calling American citizens by other nationalities. There is no point is saying something about someone that is patently untrue.

The Senate leader says backlash comes with the territory as an elected official. Since his freshmen year in the Assembly, radical opponents occasionally add derogatory ethnic slurs and references to their complaints, he said.

Since November, however, he and other politicians say it’s been more frequent and hostile.



Well, if the state legislature thinks it's OK to tax working Californians without limit, or to undermine the rule of law with impunity and not care about the conseuences, there is going to be a back lash. What? Are the actually surprised to find that Americans, that California taxpaying citizens have had enough and are fighting back?

A stranger accosted Sen. Ricardo Lara outside Ella, a restaurant on K Street, earlier this month and screamed profanities and racial epithets in his face, he said. Sen. Holly Mitchell’s Los Angeles district office representatives report getting a call once a month from someone who uses the n-word to describe her or her staff members – something they said didn’t happen before the election.

A fervent group of Trump supporters, who disrupt Democratic town halls and other political forums in Southern California, called de León an “anchor baby” and “illegal alien scumbag” at a Latino summit in May at UC Riverside, where academics and community leaders gathered to strategize ways to fight Trump’s agenda. The protesters continue to post YouTube videos of themselves heckling politicians.

I would say that Leon is a scumbag. He is full of bile and filth, undermining our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness here in the United States.

“In my mind there’s no doubt that Donald Trump has opened up this Pandora’s box,” de León said. “There’s no question about it because he’s done nothing as president of the United States to temper it down or heal the nation.”

Trump has united this country in an unprecedented fashion. The divisions come from the state legislature opposing our Constitution, federal laws, and the will of California voters.

As de León noted, racism against legislators is far from a new phenomenon.

“We dealt with it pretty much throughout my entire tenure,” said Fabian Núñez, who served as Assembly speaker from 2004 to 2008. “The more high profile you are, the more of these attacks you get.”

Yet from town halls to Twitter, threats and inappropriate communication to legislators have increased since the start of the session in January, said Debbie Manning, chief sergeant-at-arms for the California Senate. Last year her team investigated about 200 total threats and inappropriate contacts with legislators. Manning said the Senate sergeants have already surpassed that number in the first seven months of 2017.

Her office doesn’t tally whether the threats or contacts are racially motivated, although she said it’s clear that some legislators are targeted based on their ethnicity more than others.

The Senate sergeants are tightening security at town halls and other events. They conducted 16 security details at legislative events outside the Capitol in 2016, excluding hearings and the pro tem’s events. So far this year, they have done 25, Manning said.

They are also tightening up security at the Distict offices for state legislators.

See what happened to 11 of us when we dropped into Marc Steinorth's office last week:



“There’s an upswing in angry outbursts and angry behavior overall,” Manning said.

Of course we are angry! We are tired of our elected representatives hating us and making us pay for their corrupt agenda

The Bee reviewed correspondence sent to de León, some of which is too profane to publish. He received one letter sent in April from someone claiming to be a “decorated U.S. Marine sniper” threatening to hunt liberal legislators down like dogs.

“Not today, not tomorrow, maybe in 15 years when you feel safe, I will be your worst nightmare come true,” the letter said.

The writer also bragged that there was no DNA or fingerprints on the note.

“Mexico looks like Mexico for a reason, señor. – TRUMP all the way!” read one card sent to his office. Another letter suggests he join the late farmworker rights activist Cesar Chavez in hell.

That is a strange line of attack. Cesar Chavez opposed illegal immigration! He would routinely call ICE to get rid of illegal alien farmworkers!

Arthur Schaper, wearing glasses and a “Make America Great Again” hat, is a staple at rowdy Democratic town halls. At the UC Riverside event, he waved his finger at de León and shouted “cities are for citizens!”

Absolutely! Proud movement for me to stand up to the corrupt State Senate President Pro Tem De Leon.

I wish that every citizen in the state of California woudld join me in the famous finger waving!

A Trump supporter who rejects the use of the word “undocumented” – he insists on “illegal” – Schaper says the election served as a rallying cry for the right.

Absolutely!

“Trump has excited so many disaffected conservatives and angry citizens in general,” said Schaper of Torrance. “More people are getting out there. They’ve seen the damage that has been done to this country by eight years of radical leftism from the Obama presidency.”

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Schaper says he isn’t racist, and denies having knowledge of racist comments his group has directed at politicians. He’s affiliated with a number of anti-illegal immigration and nationalist organizations such as We the People Rising, American Children First and The Remembrance Project. He was recently mentioned in a report on California’s “anti-immigrant lobby” published by the Center for New Community, a pro-immigrant organization based in Chicago.

Notice that snide subtle aside "Schaper says he isn't racist."

Schaper isn't racist.

Check out the latest range of photos from Politicon:






Of course, at this point, I could have a Hispanic wife, black kids, and Asian grandparents, and people on the Left will still play the race card.

“We go (to public meetings) to ensure that Trump’s agenda is continued,” Schaper said.

And not thwarted--and that men and women are not lied to about President Trump.

Trump ran his campaign on calls to erect a wall between the United States and Mexico and make Mexico pay for it. He promised to tighten immigration enforcement and deport undocumented Latino immigrants, whom he referred to as rapists and drug dealers.

What is wrong with the above statement?

California, known for its immigrant-friendly policies and environmental consciousness, is one of the most liberal states in the country and a natural antithesis to the Trump White House. De León has sought the spotlight as a leader of the “resistance” in the Golden State, publicly criticizing the president’s actions and appearing on television programs as a voice of opposition.

De León introduced Senate Bill 54 at the start of the Legislative [sic: orthography error ... legislative, small "l"] session in response to Trump’s deportation threats. The policy bans local and state law enforcement from using their resources to help the federal government enforce immigration violations against undocumented immigrants who have not been convicted of a violent offense.

It's an affront to federal supremacy outlined in the United States Constitution. Our federal immigration enforcement officers have every right to work with local jails and state prisons to remove illegal aliens. The SB 54 shuffle will undermine the safety and security of all California residents. The Sheriffs of Los Angeles and other counties are vocally opposed to SB 54.

I wonder why the Sacramento Bee reporter refuse to acknowledge this ...



About a dozen Trump supporters followed de León as he walked to his car after the Riverside talk. They screamed “shame on you” and chanted “build that wall,” the anger in their voices rising.

Yes! And I am proud that I was one of them!

“I have never seen such vitriolic hatred,” de León said. “You could just feel it.”

Get used to it, you arrogant, lawless bigot!



Lara’s bills this year prohibit public employees from sharing information with federal authorities about someone’s religion, nationality or ethnicity, meant to curtail Trump’s promise to create a registry of Muslims. He’s also working to ban local governments from contracting with private companies that operate immigration detention centers, among other measures aimed at protecting immigrants.

When did Trump suggest creating a Muslim registry?

Lara says he’s been subjected to racism since he was elected in 2010 and began introducing pro-immigrant legislation. He’s gay and the son of former undocumented immigrants, both of which also draw hateful mail and comments.

Lara is another bigot who has shut the door of his routinely to visitors and to angry constituents of all backgrounds.

The same band of Trump supporters that followed de León in Riverside – Schaper said they draw from a pool of more than 50 people – can be seen in videos from Lara’s office or district events. As the November election approached, he received a death threat that sergeants investigated.

Does the writer suggest that we are the ones sending the death threats? Uh, no we don't do that!

Lara expects disagreements over his policy perspectives. He believes the behavior is an attempt to intimidate him from doing his work.

Yes! Every elected official is subject to pressure and outrage when they pursue hateful policies which are hurting working Californians.

“It gets tiring and nerve-racking,” Lara said. “This is what we get confronted with because we’re doing the right thing and fighting for some of the most vulnerable Californians.”

Núñez believes people have a predisposition to think the worst of politicians of color.

Not at all. I supported Ted Cruz for President. He would ualiy as a "politician of color", I believe.



“Most people who aren’t people of color just assume you’re a crook or a drug dealer,” Núñez said.

Is Fabian one of those? I wonder ...

When he served as speaker, his staff called newspaper editors a couple of times a week to ask them to remove racist remarks about Núñez in the comments section of online stories. Núñez didn’t shy away from immigration bills, but said he also got backlash when he wrote a bill about bathroom cleanliness at schools.

Wow! Fabian as the state censor! Are you worried yet? I realize that California Democrats are not fans of individual rights, especiallly the First Amendment, but for them to go to such lengths to collude with newspapers to remove comments on-line--that is particularly disturbing.

Then Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger “brushed off” the volume of hate mail Núñez received, said Steve Maviglio, who worked as Núñez’s deputy chief of staff. So in 2005, Núñez’s staff printed out and copied thousands of emails and letters to show to the governor.

“We printed them out to say, ‘You know what, it’s significant,’ ” Maviglio said. “It’s a lot different being Austrian than it is being from Mexico.”

Was Nunez born in Mexico? NOPE! That's pretty racist coming from the chief of staff.

Mitchell said she was reminded of the world in which she lives in December when Assemblyman Travis Allen inaccurately claimed that one of her bills legalized prostitution. Social media exploded. “It went from I legalized prostitution to direct racial comments, no question,” Mitchell said.

Her legislation made it impossible to arrest a child prostitute. Now johns and pimps can exploit these poor children and keep their identities hidden.

I agreed with the assessment of former state assemblyman David Hadley: there has to be a middle ground between an outright arrest and just letting a child prostitute go.

But what is it? Decriminalizing child prostitution is not the answer.

Her reactions to racism, inadvertent or blatant, vary.

“Every time I have to take a quick assessment: Will this lead to me hitting this person in the face and going to jail? Will this lead to me increasing my blood pressure and having a heart attack right here? Will this lead to a meaningful dialogue?” Mitchell said.

A small body of research suggests that politics can ignite and embolden racist behavior.

Wow! Surprise surprise! (NOT). No wonder men and women have a low regard of journalists these days. They act as if they have printed something profound or meaningful, when in fact they print redundant information or they lie.

Anti-immigrant policies and initiatives can trigger hostility toward immigrants, according to a study on the health effects of societal events published in the New England Journal of Medicine in June. Teachers also reported an increase in bullying, harassment and intimidation of students whose races, religions or nationalities were the verbal targets of presidential candidates in the wake of the 2016 election.

Legal or illegal? Once again, the newspaper article refuses to distinguish. Another reason why the media is in such low esteem.

Schaper says he has been going to town halls for years, but now he feels like he has a president on his side.

I don't feel it. I both know and believe it. It is a fact!





A half dozen people, including Schaper, went to de León’s district office in May, as depicted in a video they posted online. They complained that a flier in the window was written in Spanish and questioned a paper that explained the rights of undocumented immigrants.

“Those are illegals,” Schaper said. “They don’t have rights.”

YUP!

An employee said the office was closed. Schaper and others refused to leave. After a California Highway Patrol officer arrived, Schaper unfolded and held up a flag that said “President Donald Trump” and “Make American Great Again.”

Woot! Woot!


“This is Trump territory, folks, even in de León’s office,” Schaper said. “This is our country.”

No complaints here!

Final Reflection

The Sacramento Bee reported, Taryn Luna, interviewed me looking for any trace of hate or bigotry. I did not give her any, because the desire to protect our nation, to put Americans first, to ensure the enforcement of immigration laws has nothing to do with race.

Notice how the writer tried to smear me as a racist. The race card is so overplayed, it's laughable. Now it's turning into journalistic malpractice.

I do applaud the Sacrament Bee for uoting me accurately. What they are likely to discover is that most readers agree with my views on illegal immigration.

Speaking of racism, Taryn Luna asked me a uestion in which she added: "According to demographic studies, Hispanics are going to be the dominant population in California."

"Dominant"? Is she suggesting that men and women of Hispanic descent are interested in taking over a state or a country? Does she think that all people of Hispanic descent think and believe the same things?

I also had to remind her that immigration from other countries, most significantly Asian countries, is growing and is edging toward extending beyond Latino immigration and population numbers. She apparently was not ready for a Trump supporter as a well-informed interview subject. 

I called her office today.

I asked her why she did not report on the racist remarks of the Brown Power summit at UC Riverside? The article focuses on the racism against California legislators, but what about the racism that they are perpetuating? How about the racist groups with which they affiliate?

Check out the videos below for a view into what I am talking about:


And this one:


Then there were the Brown Supremacy remarks from Armando Navarro:



How about ths video in which a city councilman calls members of the audience "white supremacists" for no reason?


And then there was that time when State Senator Ricardo Lara blocked citizens from a public meeting in South Gate:



The reported acknowledged that she wanted to get a wide array of the racist comments and the death threats sent to legislators.

But wait ... what about the racism and the threats of the legislators and the elected officials toward all of us? She was willing to go after different pro-American and Immigration-enforcement groups because of one of two members who said something. But she gave De Leon a pass?

I thought that the press was supposed to hold elected officials accountable, not just carry water for them.

Nevertheless, in spite of the reporter's best efforts to smear pro-American and pro-enforcement groups like We the People Rising and American Children First, the comments and reports about me are accurate. The statements which I made are accurate, and I stand by the defense of my country, my flag, and the enforcement of our border and immigration laws.

Obamacare Fail? Trump Threatens To End Congressional and Insurance Bailouts

Senate Conservatives Fund
Trump Tweet - End Obamacare Bailouts

Arthur,

This past weekend, President Trump vowed to take administrative action to end two Obamacare bailouts if Congress doesn't quickly repeal the failing healthcare law.

The first bailout is the exemption that President Obama helped give to Members of Congress and the second bailout is the subsidy program Obama created for health insurance companies.

And the best part about President Trump's threat is that short of passing a new law, Congress can't stop him.

Please show your support for this decision by sending a letter to President Trump urging him to end these bailouts.

There is no reason why Congress should have a special Obamacare exemption and there is no reason why the insurance companies that lobbied for Obamacare should get a taxpayer bailout.

If the DC establishment won't take action to repeal Obamacare and provide true relief to the American people, then they should have to live under the law they passed and share the pain.

Many Republican lawmakers are afraid of what the Democrats and media will say about them if they repeal the law, but that pales in comparison to what the voters will do to Republicans at the ballot box if they allow it to continue.

Senator Ted Cruz was right when he said, "No party can remain in power by lying to the American people." 

Please thank President Trump for being willing to end the Obamacare bailouts and urge him to make it happen.

These policies are unfair and should be terminated immediately.

Thank you for standing strong for freedom and for doing your part to make your voice heard in Washington.

Sincerely,
Ken Cuccinelli II

Advice About Politicians: Be Friendly, But Not Their Friends

One of things that I learned in political training:

"Have few friends who serve in office. If you can, don't have any friends who are elected officials."

I found such advice strict, even draconian.

Why would I not want to be friends with men and women who are fighting for me in elected office?

What I am learning slowly but surely is that far too many elected officials are not working for us. Political power is not firmly placed in our hands, but is sifting away into the third house.

Unbelievable. By "third house", I mean special interest money.

The money is flowing throughout Sacramento, and it's overflowing in Washington DC.

No wonder politicians can be very fickle, untrustworthy people.

But I realized from another perspective why it's wise to have as few politician friends as possible.

It's not just about general disdain for elected officials.

The concern is more than about unethical behavior or betrayal.

It's about leadership, ownership, and final authority.

What do I mean?

It comes down to this ...

I was a teacher.

In order to be effective, teachers have to correct their students. There are times in which students will be very angry with their teachers. Yet that is part of the job. The same holds true for parents raising their children.

If we treat students or our children like friends, we will struggle to discipline them, to make the right decisions, even though they are unpopular. Conflicts will arise over principled goals and proper outcomes.

It's About We the People
Not "They The Government"


The same is true for employers and their employees. They can be friendly, but at the end of the day the boss makes the decisions, and their workers must comply or leave. If we put our feelings and friendship into the mix, it becomes very difficult to make tough yet necessary decisions. Our feelings, our camaraderie gets in the way.

From the second set of examples I will draw the point clearly.

Our elected officials work for us. We do not work for them. It's as simple as that.

They are our employees. If I want to be their friends, then I will have a hard time telling them the truth, especially when they have done very bad things.

If I view them as employees, it makes it so much easier to hold them accountable for their bad votes, their lack of morals, or the complete absence of ethics in their training and decision-making.

Let's settle our hearts. Elected officials work for us. We can be friendly with some of them, but at the end of the day they must uphold the rule of law and protect our rights.

When they fail, we need to let them know, and not hold back our discontent.

Let's Get National Right-To-Work Passed ASAP!

Dear Arthur,

There is only one bill to end decades of forced unionism and its stranglehold on the wallets of working Americans -- the National Right to Work Act.

But the only way you and I will ever be able to force roll-call votes in Congress on the National Right to Work Act is to turn up the heat on the politicians.

That's why I recently started an all-out Cosponsor Blitz to ramp up our grassroots programs into high gear before Congress leaves on their August break.

You see, the more pro-freedom Americans you and I can identify and mobilize, the more grassroots pressure we can apply to wavering politicians to take action on the National Right to Work Act.

More grassroots pressure means more cosponsors, and maximizing the number of cosponsors is critical to ultimately force roll-call votes.

That's why I set a deadline for myself and my staff, and reached out to you for help to raise the funds necessary to mobilize 16,000 new grassroots supporters in each targeted district to help add 22 new cosponsors in the next 45 days.




Arthur, the deadline for meeting this goal was midnight last night.

But this isn't the end, Arthur. I've made the decision to extend the deadline through Sunday, July 30th.

You see, thanks to a generous contribution from of one of the Committee's best supporters, I can offer you a special matching grant for this fundraising program.

Until we hit our new deadline on Sunday, every donation you give will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, by the contribution from a generous Committee supporter, DOUBLING the impact of your gift!

This special extension means that if you haven't yet had the chance, there's still time to chip in -- and thanks to this special matching grant, you can do more than ever!

Even if you've already chipped in, I hope you'll go the extra mile and make a second contribution to the Cosponsor Blitz. This program is that important.

Don't let this opportunity go to waste. Please click here to chip in with a generous contribution of $10 or $20.



Arthur, your Committee has a battle-proven plan to identify and mobilize 16,000 new pro-freedom Americans in each targeted district to put pressure on vulnerable members of Congress and demand they cosponsor the National Right to Work Act.

And once we maximize the number of cosponsors, then we can ultimately push for up-or-down roll-call votes in both the House and the Senate.

But we cannot make any progress without your support.

And that's why it's so important you take advantage of this special matching grant.

Every generous contribution you make will have twice the impact, Arthur. 

But to make this work, I need your response by Sunday.

Won't you please chip in immediately before the deadline?



With a fully-funded Cosponsor Blitz, your Committee will be able to run hard-hitting campaigns -- including email, Facebook, and targeted mailing campaigns -- designed to put pressure on vulnerable Congressmen, demanding they cosponsor the National Right to Work Act.

These mobilization tactics have a proven track record.





But without the full amount, I'm worried that our efforts won't be nearly as effective -- delaying real progress on the National Right to Work Act!

I cannot stress the necessity of this fund enough. Please contribute a generous donation of at least $10 today.

I know I can count on you.

Sincerely,
 
Mark Mix, President
National Right to Work Committee

P.S. I've decided to offer a special extension on this National Right to Work Act Cosponsor Blitz. The new deadline is Sunday, July 30th.

But even more importantly, thanks to the one of the Committee's most generous supporters, I can offer you a special matching grant.

Every donation you give will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, doubling your pro-life impact!

Don't let this opportunity go to waste. Please click here to chip in with a generous contribution of $10 or $20.

LA County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission https://coc.lacounty.gov/

7/27/17 Los Angeles, CA
Preliminary Report by Robin Hvidston - Full Report To Follow

CONTROVERSY!
One Commissioner Says NO To The Pledge of Allegiance On The Agenda

SEE THE VIDEO BELOW
Last month, at the LA County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission meeting, Raul Rodriguez requested that the meeting begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chair Robert Bonner said no. Not to be deterred, Raul Rodriguez led the  audience in saying the Pledge of Allegiance during his public comment segment.

Because of citizen action, for the first time, at the July 7/27/17 LA County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission agenda, the Pledge of Allegiance was officially listed as the #2 item.


 
Commissioner Rabbi Heather Miller Said NO To The Pledge of Allegiance Being On The Agenda

However, at the beginning of the meeting, one of the commissioners, Rabbi Heather Miller, formally objected to saying the Pledge of Allegiance. She said that because the Pledge of Allegiance references God, it is a violation of church and state. Then she listed the various Los Angeles Commissions that do not say the Pledge of Allegiance. Following her objections, Chair Robert Bonner said that the commission could debate the issue of the Pledge of Allegiance on the agenda, at the next meeting. The topic of the Pledge of Allegiance will be on the August agenda and that meeting will be at 9:30am on 8/24/17.

Then Chair Robert Bonner called upon Commissioner Harris to lead the Pledge of Allegiance.

Because the commission had discussed the topic of the Pledge of Allegiance, the public was eligible to speak out on the issue. Six Trump Supporters spoke out in support of the Pledge of Allegiance on the official agenda at each meeting and two leftists spoke out in opposition to the Pledge of Allegiance being listed on the official agenda.

Repeal and Replace McConnell NOW! (Petition)



Senate Conservatives Fund
Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

Arthur,

Senate Republicans failed to keep their promise to repeal Obamacare this week and have decided to drop the issue altogether.

It's a total disgrace and Mitch McConnell bears the blame.

While the seven Republicans who opposed clean repeal should be held accountable, it was McConnell who created the environment that encouraged their betrayal.

His use of the party's massive political machine to defend these senators in primary elections – something the party used to stay out of – has made them much less accountable to the Republican voters who elected them and much more willing to break their promises.

Both Lisa Murkowski and John McCain were protected from competitive primary challenges and they both know they will be protected again as long as Mitch McConnell is the leader.

Also, McConnell's early decision to abandon repeal in favor of keeping some of the worst parts of Obamacare encouraged others to do the same. He will pretend that he tried to repeal the law, but the truth is that he gave up on that many months ago.


And finally, McConnell's prediction that a bipartisan bailout for the insurance companies would occur if repeal were to fail also gave moderates a reason to hold out for something else. That was one of the biggest strategic errors we have seen in some time.

The truth is, McConnell began this health care debate with no endgame strategy for repeal. He was simply going through the motions to make it look like he tried. And now that his "Failure Theater" is complete, he wants to give up and move on.

It's time for Senate Republicans to replace Mitch McConnell with a new leader who will fight for conservative principles.

McConnell lacks the policy convictions needed to inspire his colleagues to fight for something greater than themselves. That's why he couldn't get Republicans to do something they had promised to do for the past seven years.


He couldn't get them to even vote for the skinniest of repeals!!

Please stand up for conservative leadership in the U.S. Senate by signing the petition to replace Mitch McConnell.

If he isn't replaced now, we will see many more Republican betrayals that prevent us from making America great again.

Sincerely,
Ken Cuccinelli II
