What Happened to LA County For Trump/MAGA Movement?

 

Laurel Ho, one of the most committed conservatives in Southern California, reposted this photo on Facebook today.

It brought back a lot of memories and invited some reflection.

Let's start with the photo itself.

This was taken in early 2018 at Tom and Cindy Greene's home in Culver City, CA.

Robert Herrerra of New York State is standing to the left of me, and Harim Uzziel Vargas, although everyone knew him by Uzziel, is on my other side.

In late 2017, Harim found out about Robert Herrera via social media, and they connected for a few days, then Robert started visiting Los Angeles and getting involved in Trump events.

The story with Harim is a lot longer. I first found him on Facebook in 2016, and I was really surprised to see a guy who was not just Hispanic, but Jewish, a cholo type, and he was a big Trump supporter!

Quite a combination, to put it mildly.

We friended each other on Facebook, although he would share with me later on that he saw the stuff I was doing with We the People Rising, fighting illegal immigration while protesting in city council meetings and other government board meetings throughout Southern California.

The first time we met in person was in late January 2017, when we counter-protested the Soros-funded protests at LAX, raising hell about President Trump's travel ban, in which Trump used the exact same countries that President Obama had targeted in his own travel ban.

We were surrounded, clearly outnumbered by the anti-Trump fanatics crowding the sidewalks and even the streets, all throughout LAX. We persevered, and then we held our own Trump rally at LAX airport the next year.

Harim and I, along with the many members of We the People Rising, started connecting and congregating around more Trump events. We spoke out at the LA County Board of Supervisors when they were taking aggressive steps to counter the first Trump administration's lawful efforts to curtail illegal immigration into our country. Our social media presence group, and lots of people reached out to us, wanting to get involved.

It was a great time, for sure!

More people started coalescing around us in Los Angeles County after our protest at LAX. There were lots of people that I connected with, including Harim's friends, as well as other contacts who were active in the Trump movement, going to the rallies and protests throughout the city of Los Angeles. Lots of Trump supporters gathered together on March 25, 2017, marching all the way to Trump's star near Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood.

But what happened to the movement? What happened to the whole LA County for Trump organization?

The first thing that comes to mind, at least for me, is that I started focusing on specific efforts, like shutting down SB 54, the sanctuary state law. The CA state legislature shoved that awful policy onto the state despite widespread outrage and opposition to the law.

The protests went from confronting bad city councils which were embracing policies to protect illegal aliens, to city councils that were taking a stand against illegal immigration and calling on the state or the federal government to do something about SB 54. Many of those protests started up in early 2018, and then the larger group of us started travelling all over Southern California, calling on city councils to register their opposition to the law or to ignore compliance with the law.

During this time, Robert and Harim started behaving badly.

In early 2018, Harim and I coordinated with other Trump supporters to set up a protest outside of US Senator Dianne Feinstein's office, so that we could pre-empt Islamic militant Linda Sarsour from taking up space in front of the office. We beat her to the location, and we force Sarsour and her hateful leftists to protest across the street. At that meeting, I remember talking with Harim about the growing anti-Semitism from some of the Trump "supporters" who were also going to our events. It was becoming a noticeable problem.

And one of the most notorious examples of this was Robert Herrera himself. He started bashing Jews and talking up all the hollow anti-Jewish talking points, claiming that "The Jews" control the media, academia, etc.

When I showed Harim all the stuff that he had been posting, and I then shared it with other members of our "LA County for Trump" coalition, we distanced ourselves from him, and he ended up disappearing for good.

Things fell apart with Harim when he started getting into arguments and fights with other Trump supporters in Southern California. He had quite a temper, and he also had a drinking problem. A number of times, he went on YouTube or Facebook Live and would have an alcohol-induced meltdown.

The last time we talked, or rather texted, to each other was in mid-2018. He was posting some negative comments on my Instagram account, saying that certain people were not part of "LA County for Trump." Another lady in our larger team commented: "Can we stop with all the drama?"

I texted Harim privately, and I told him to refrain from attacking fellow Trump supporters on my social media. He got really upset, telling me that he had always been there for me, and that I should stand by him when he has a problem with someone. That is a game I choose not to play. He didn't like that, so he cut me off.

He ended up cutting off a lot of people in the LA County for Trump movement.

From that point on, I was more focused on results, even if it meant getting different cities to take a stance against SB 54. I travelled to more cities throughout Southern California. I got really tired of the rallies and the protests just for the sake of sharing my views. I wanted to accomplish policy goals.

Also, during an eighth month period, from late November 2017 to 2018, I was travelling to other places. I went to North State (Siskiyou County) twice, and I went to Arizona twice in 2018. I was doing more stuff, but I also ran into another problem: money. I had left my marketing job in March 2017, and then I was working as an independent journalist and activist. People were donating money to pay for my trips and other Trump-related activities, and I also spent whatever money I saved.

Finally, I got hired by MassResistance to be a full-time activist director in July, 2018 and I have been doing that ever since. My new job had me focusing a lot more on organizing parents and other activists around the country to fight the LGBT agenda. I even started working with legislators in different states to pass pro-family legislation.

As you can imagine, I didn't have much time to do Trump-related stuff anymore. The last time I did any activism connected with We the People Rising was in May, 2019. By then, I felt that the repeated appearances at town halls and local government meetings had really run its course. Many of the activists I had been working with were not committed to growing the team or getting clear goals in place to accomplish, so I put aside all off the volumteer activism and focused on MassResistance.

So, for what it's worth, that's the story of what happened to LA County for Trump, certainly as far as I'm concerned.

Standing for Truth: No LGBT in the Conservative Movement

There is a small but growing contingent of homosexuals and transgenders trying to push their way into the conservative movement, the liberty coalition, the MAGA movement, etc.

This move is all wrong.

I noticed this problem when I attended the Mother of All Rallies in September 2017 in Washington, DC. When "Gays for Trump" showed up to speak at the event, I knew that there were going to be problems.

Why would any organization want to promote sexual perversion and degeneracy? The whole identity politics game is a big fraud, a major failure. We cannot save this country by playing the same game and falling for the same rules of the regressive, Satanic left.

It's not about identity politics, but about truth, justice, and the Godly way.

So, it has all come to this. I have to stand for truth. I cannot accomodate or compromise when it comes to pro-family forces and elements. Too many conservatives, however, are all fine with allowing homosexuals and transgenders to run around shouting "MAGA! MAGA! MAGA Slay!" all while flaunting their disorderly behavior.

This is wrong.

A number of public demonstrations throughout Los Angeles County have included out LGBT activists. Promoting sexual degeneracy is not the way to restore order to Los Angeles County or the state of California.

You cannot have liberty without order. The individual is not the first and foremost element of any society, but rather a moral order, whether one calls it God or Natural Law or the Laws of Nature and Nature's God, as referenced by the Framers in the Declaration of Independence.

Freedom ain't freedom, and freedom ain't the full and final value for any civilization.

Here's a statement that I wrote to an out homosexual "conservative" in the Los Angeles area:

-----, I have to stand for truth.

Homosexuality is wrong. I noticed that you quote scriptures, but that doesn't mean anything if you're not standing for truth. God didn't make you gay. God wants you to live healthy and whole. I don't know what happened to you that caused you to struggle with this issue. I don't hate you, but it isn't right or good for me to say nothing and act as if it's OK for you to flaunt homosexuality as if it's normal.

What I confronted you about wearing women's shoes last year, you repeatedly argued with me and lied to me to justify what you were doing. That is wrong.

The kindest thing that I can say to you is that it's not good for you to abuse your body with the same sex. God did not design you for that. I'm here to stand for truth. You really can't claim to care about kids if you're not willing to speak the truth about how LGBT behaviors themselves, that is homosexual and transgender behaviors, are themselves destructive.

I wish that more activists had the courage to say what I shared above with others. I wish that event planners and organizers had the guts to confront LGBT "conservatives" privately and tell them: "You are welcome to protest for the causes that we agree on, but if you want to promote your private life or your disorderly conduct, then we ask you not to come."

Of course, I find that too many conservative organizers are worried that no one will show up to their events, so they will cave and compromise to allow anyone who wants to flaunt himself or herself and grift to show up and make a showcase of their broken private lives.

I wonder how many of the SoCal conservative organizers would feel if someone showed up drunk or high on drugs? What if someone showed up with a big bong in their hands and declared themselves "Potsmokers for Trump"? I am pretty sure that they would object to that, right? Or would they?

Two conservative activists met with me late last year as we talked about fighting back against the vaccine passport regime coming down in Downtonw Los Angeles. I told them that we need to take a larger stance for the truth, that we need to be grounded in a clear moral framework that protects parents and children, not just settle for "liberty" or "personal freedom" as the only value worth fighting for.

One of the activists responded: "I really don't care if someone is gay. If we all end up in the gulags, you are not going to care if the person next to you is gay. Your focus is going to be on getting out of prison and getting your freedom back."

I could not dissuade them from that narrow view on the matter. The fact is that we are in this government-overrreach mess now precisely because conservative forces did not take a militant stand against the government redefining marriage and family from 2005 to 2015. The fact that the government has gotten away with undermining the fundamental fabric and bases of our civilization without pushback has led us to the point where governments started ordering people to wear masks, to get vaccinated, to lockdown their businesses, and not to travel.

Tyranny comes in slowly but surely, just like the proverbial frog getting boiled slowly in the pot. The tyranny worked its way into our culture via the "Love is Love" canard foisted on us via the aggressive, virulent homosexual lobby.

If marriage means nothing, then children lose their parents, and unnatural behaviors and trauma become the norm, not the exception. If words don't mean things, then people lose their liberty. The fight for marriage and family is paramount, and that includes taking a stand against the corrosive infiltration of so-called LGBT "conservatives."

I finally had the courage to speak candidly to one out-homosexual who was parading his perversion all while claiming to care about "the kids" and wanting to stop LGBT tyranny. It's a contradiction which undermines the larger effort, and more conservatives more Ultra MAGA types need to have the courage to stand for truth!

John Cox for Governor: Speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition (Photos and Video)

The Republican Jewish Coalition hosted a meet-n-greet with John Cox, the Republican nominee for Governor of the State of California.

Cox speaking to the Republican Jewish Coalition

I was invited through a friend, since the event sold out of tickets within a relatively short amount of time.

I didn't know what to expect, although I can't say that I was completely impressed with Cox' presentation.

He offered the argument that he would spend much of his time reaching out to Independents and disaffected Democrats. That argument makes sense, since he needs a majority, and Decline-to-State/Independent Voters are now greater than Republicans in terms of registration.

Can Cox turn around the terrible falling trajectory of the state of California?

Let's hope so!

Luis "White People Will Be Dead in Five Years" Nolasco: Illegal Alien and Activist (Call ICE Now!)

After posting my second blog about ACLU acolyte/activist Luis Nolasco, I received the following tip:

Luis Nolasco is an illegal alien.

Here is his profile on Netroots Nation:

Check out the contents in the profile:

"Luis Nolasco is an undocumented queer organizer [Emphasis mine] with the Inland Empire Immigrant Youth Coalition (IE-IYC) an affiliate of the National Immigrant Youth Alliance (The NIYA), who through public campaigns has contributed to stopping deportations and shed light on the conditions of Immigration Detention Centers. Alongside 4 other undocumented organizers from the NIYA, they set up camp in South Florida to expose the injustices being held at Broward Transitional Center, an Immigration Detention Facility. Soon after, he went on to do similar work with North Georgia Detention Center in Gainesville, Georgia. Now he resides in the Inland Empire where he is working on establishing a visitation program for Adelanto Detention Center in Victorville as well as working to pass pro-immigrant legislation such as the TRUST Act which would help abolish some of the unnecessary incarceration of Immigrants."

Notice that in the entire text, there is no distinction between legal and illegal.

Why is that?

So, this individual does not live in the country legally.

Yet he has the audacity to undermine our immigration laws?!

He even snidely mocks American citizens of all backgrounds.

He said to the Rialto City Council that "white people have five years left."

Notice that he claims to be "an actual resident of Rialto, unlike these people."

"These people." That is discrimination, isn't it?

Then he attends a "Latino and Mexicano" Summit, where he tells people how to resist the Trump Administration, all while undermining our nation's immigration laws and joining a widespread "La Raza" movement based on mythical political narratives, like the argument that California does not belong to the United States, and Mexican-Americans, or Chicanos should take California back and join into to another nation called "Aztlan."

Don't believe me about the nature of the meeting?

Here are the remarks below from Dr. Enrique Murillo:

Here's the video recording with his comments about "Aztlan":

Of course, Luis Nolasco's comments bear reviewing, too:

Check out one of his most outstanding (and outrageous) comments:

"We need to make sure that California is leading the fight in passing this legislation" [SB 54, the Sanctuary State Bill]

Of course he wants SB 54: his presence in this state is in jeopardy.

This is absolutely shameful! OUTRAGEOUS!

Call ICE Now, and demand the deportation of this illegal alien and activist!

Doctor Ruiz Feeling the GOP Fever in Riverside

Doctor Raul Ruiz ran for Congress in the GOP Friendly Congressional district 36, located predominantly in Riverside County.

The Doctor is IN ... Trouble?

He ended up defeating Mary Bono Mack in a sudden upset.

Very close, and yet very sad.

In 2014, an assemblyman in the Riverside area, Brian Nestande, was unable to unseat him, and pollsters feared that the district was becoming less competitive.

What is the current voter registration?

Republicans currently have a one point Republican advantage in the district.

They should be able to flip this Congressional seat back into GOP hands

They also have a great candidate running--State Senator Jeff Stone.

He has made bold pronouncements on the State Senate Floor to stop attacks on individual liberty and economic prosperity.

Strangely, District 36th has remained off the radar.

But now Trump is surging in all the national polls.

And in California.

Dr. Ruiz is feeling the heat!

Check out his latest eblast:

Dr. Raul Ruiz for Congress

-- The election is only 48 days away

-- National Republicans are spending heavily in California

-- And polls everywhere show the GOP surging up and down the ticket

Arthur Christopher, in a swing district like ours, this last-minute Republican surge could be the difference between winning and losing.

Yes, it could, and what a wonderful outcome that would be!

There is nothing extreme about Dr. Jeff Stone. He is a principled pharmacist and small business owner who won his state senate seat in 2014 fair and suare.

He better represents the needs and concerns of the Eastern Riverside county area than any other.

So if we don’t put all we’ve got into helping Dr. Ruiz, our extreme opponent could succeed in turning this seat red.

Please, let's bring the ruby red hue back to Southern California.

Republicans and conservatives should not be dismissed by the turnout in June. The Republican presidential primary was all but finished, while the Democratic fight for primary delegates was entering its final, frenzied lap.

Our numbers go public after September 30th, and we need to raise $15,000 by then to stay on track. Will you chip in right away to help us get there?

We know Dr. Ruiz isn’t a politician -- as an emergency medicine doctor, he’s dedicated his life to helping others. That’s why we need to keep his strong, independent voice in Congress.

Blah! This doctor supports Obamacare, That's a purely political stance, since it's neither a moral or fiscal position to hold.

But if we fail to put up a big fundraising number at the end of the month, it will be a HUGE setback this close to Election Day.

Love that word HUGE. Notice, however, that this eblast does not tie Stone to Donald Trump.

Why is that? Perhaps because Trump is turning into an asset while Hillary Clinton, corrupt and sick, is now dragging down the Democratic ticket--even in California!

We have to hit this fundraising goal, but we can’t do it without you, Arthur Christopher. Please chip in $5 or more today:

Thank you,

Team Ruiz

Final Reflection

This panic is setting in all over the country. Democratic donors are getting jittery about Hillary.

Include the good Doctor Raul Ruiz.

Even though the Democratic incumbent has coasted on decent numbers in the past, a sudden GOP surge at the end, with diminished Democratic turnout, could put one doctor into bed-rest for good and give a good doctor the chance to bring some health and wellness back to Washington!

Vote Jeff Stone for Congress!
