Reminder: "Black Lives Matter" and Sexual Perversion (PRIDE) Are Inseparable

We must never forget that the Black Lives Matter is at its core a homosexuality, cultural marxist movement of hate.

The Black Lives Matter movement announced their hateful opposition to the nuclear, read natural family. They also are so racist, as to believe that black people cannot form natural families.

And they are in lockstep with promoting the homosexualist movement, which is all about undermining the natural dimensions of society.

Consider the latest post from the Black Lives Matter movement:

This month and for eternity after that, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation celebrates the beauty of Pride and all of our LGBTQ+ fam.

To our LGBTQ+ fam: You are radiance, you are divine, you are life itself. Own it!

Happy Pride Month, June 2021 | *Pride began as an uprising against the police in June 1969 | Graphic of Marsha P. Johnson, 1969 Stonewall Riots

Every year, Pride month rolls around, and we celebrate the colorful beauty of our LGBTQ+ community. But we must not forget to also recognize the discrimination, hate, and violence our family continues to face today at the intersection of their identities -- and how the fight for LGBTQ+ equality goes in hand-in-hand with #DefundThePolice.

Pride began as an uprising against police in the early hours of June 28, 1969. Police in New York City violently raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay club that was a place of refuge for many queer Black and Brown folks. Police raids of gay spaces were common. But this time, fed up with the constant police violence against them, the patrons of Stonewall fought back in what came to be known as the historic Stonewall Uprising.

The language may have been different then, but the sentiment remains the same: #DefundThePolice.

This Pride month and beyond, we're dedicated to the fight for LGBTQ+ civil rights and equality. Because all Black Lives Matter.

In love and solidarity,

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation

Note that PRIDE was the first "Defund the Police" movement, at least in principle.

It's noteworthy that for the last 50 some years, the LGBT militancy movement has been hiding this rugged, essential disregard for the rule of law and recognition of the rights of others. Of course, if anyone had been paying attention, most of the first LGBT clubs and organizations were communistic at their core, i.e. the Mattachine Society. Oscar Wilde wrote an essay "The Soul of Man Under Socialism", and so on. It's time for people to wake up and recognize that this assault on natural marriage, life, and family is simply another interation of Marxism/Communism moving in and bringing down the country.

A nation cannot survive on sodomy, and a country cannot continue on systemic bigotry.

The whole ruth be told, the Stonewall Riot incident had nothing to do with oppression of homosexuals and trangenders by the New York City police department. Rather, it had everything to do with the fact the Stonewall Inn was a mob bar, and they were not paying their liquor license fees. Because of that, the police raided the Stonewall Inn--and then the fights broke out.

Let's cut the comedy here. PRIDE is nothing to be proud of, and Black Lives Matter does not care about black lives. There is a pattern here, folks, and people need to start paying attention to it.

Councilman Mike Griffiths Makes Excuses, Won't Support Resolution Against Pro-Criminal LA County DA George Gascon

Torrance City Councilman Mike Griffiths answered my call last week.

I talked with him about getting the city of Torrance to go on record opposing LA County District Attorney George Gascon.

He just blew me off: "Not gonna happen."

And why not?

The gist of his answer was this:

The city attorney does not approve of it, and it's going to hurt the police department.

Really. That was his excuse.

And last year, Griffiths was more than happy to (rightly) open up the city and defy the lockdown orders from LA County Board of Health and the Governor of California.

Now he is worried about potential displeasure from the city attorney? Or lawsuits? Give me a break.

This is outrageous.

The city attorney, Patrick Sullivan, is not an elected official. The city council does not work for the city attorney. The city attorney works for the city council, and the city council works for us.

Residents of all backgrounds in the city of Torrance want LA County DA George Gascon OUT! Eighteen of the 88 cities in Los Angeles County have gone on record official issuing resolutions of No Confidence, including Rancho Palos Verdes and Manhattan Beach. Torrance City Council should not be dragging their feet on this issue, and that includes Councilman Griffiths. 

This attitude of ignoring the will of voters to cater to civil servants in city hall is a growing problem in the city of Torrance. Elected officials on the dais are not following through on their promises, and they are following orders from the city attorney, when they should be listening to the residents of the community.

Yes, the corrupt, pro-criminal district attorney George Gascon has reopened the case against two of Torrance's police officers because of their officer-involved shooting against Christopher "Cowboy" Mitchell. The previous DA, Jackie Lacey, declined to file charges, and even asserted that the officers rightly acted in self-defense. A growing audience of viewers and commentaters have also asserted that the two police officers acted in self-defense when one considers the full contents of the video. Am I saying that every police officer in the city of Torrance is good, or that the LA County DA should not pursue officer-involved shootings in the event of foul play? Of course not.

But in this case, and with what the city of Torrance is potentially facing with a pro-criminal county DA, and based on what residents have been saying for the last three weeks, it's time for the city of Torrance to go on record and issue a Resolution of No Confidence in George Gascon. There is nothing wrong with the city decrying the LA County District Attorney's bad behavior, disgraceful conduct toward constituents, and his pro-criminal policies which openly violate state law. This does not cast aspersions or undermine the well-being of the police officers who face investigation. In fact, the fact that the current, corrupt DA insists on reopening this case shows that he is partisan and political, rather than principled and pragmatic towards his office. All the more reason he needs to go!

And all the more reason that the city of Torrance needs to issue a Resolution of No Confidence in LA County DA George Gascon!

Gascon is putting murderous thugs back on the street, and trampling on the needs of victims and law-abiding citizens generally. He needs to be recalled. 

And the city of Torrance needs to go on record opposing him.

Contact Councilman Mike Griffiths, and DEMAND that he support a resolution of no confidence against corrupt, pro-criminal LA County District Attorney George Gascon. Remind him that he works for the people, not the city attorney.

MassResistance Reports on The Unfair Prosecution and Unjust Conviction by Kangaroo Court

Left-wing judge, local public officials viciously target MassResistance activist Arthur Schaper for demanding that a California city follow state and federal immigration law

Spurious arrest, outrageously unjust court trial, resulting in misdemeanor conviction

Judge hands out bizarre punishment -- clearly politically motivated

November 23, 2018

The Downey Courthouse in Los Angeles, where Arthur's trial took place.

In Part I we described how Arthur Schaper was targeted by city officials and arrested during a bizarre scene at a Huntington Park, CA, City Council Meeting. His arrest was clearly politically motivated – he was an anti-illegal immigration spokesman opposing the city council and mayor that were violating state and federal law. They wanted him out of the room.

The arrest was just the beginning of a nightmare. It became clear that the government wanted to send Arthur a strong message about his conservative political activism.

Court date merry-go-round

Arthur was turned down by two California pro-family law groups. Therefore, a public defender was assigned to him. At his initial court hearing, set for Sept. 6, 2017, he was expected to meet his public defender to begin working on his case.

But when he got to the courthouse on Sept. 6, his name was not listed on the court calendar, and there was no public defender. Later that day he received an email from the Huntington Park police lieutenant in charge of his case, ordering him to appear in court instead on Oct. 23, 2017.

Arthur showed up on Oct. 23, and again he was not listed on the court calendar, and no public defender was assigned. (He later found out that the City of Huntington Park had not even filed the case.)

A few days later he received a notice to appear in court on Nov. 21. Soon after, he received notice that it was changed to Dec. 4 instead. Then he received a notice that it was changed to Dec. 18. Finally, over six months after his arrest, he had his initial court hearing. (Usually that happens quickly, often within a few days after an arrest.)

Public defender merry-go-round

After the Dec. 18, 2017 hearing he finally met with his public defender.Arthur immediately began working with her on the details and background of the case. But then on Jan. 29, 2018, Arthur was notified that because of “staff changes in the public defender’s office” his public defender was being replaced.

At his next court hearing, Feb. 6, 2018, Arthur met his second public defender – who immediately told Arthur he had a “conflict of interest” with Arthur’s case and could not continue (Arthur was never told what that “conflict of interest” was).  After that a private attorney was assigned to Arthur – Arthur’s third public defender.

Pressure to plea-bargain

As we’ve seen when liberal activists (such as the “Antifa” or “Occupy” crowd) are accused of crimes, even if they are arrested the government often declines to prosecute their cases. But with Arthur it was completely different. The very left-wing Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office adamantly told Arthur’s attorney that they were not letting him off.

The DA wanted to avoid the bother of a trial by having Arthur simply plead guilty to one of the misdemeanor charges that they had cooked up. But Arthur and his attorney felt that the government’s previous warnings to the city about its open meeting law violations demonstrated that Arthur had been illegally targeted and that the law was on his side in this situation. So he asked for a jury trial.

Delays and more delays. The DA’s office was clearly angry at that decision and the delays started piling up. There were several more pre-trial hearings, mostly requested by the DA. The trial was finally scheduled for Sept. 18, 2018 – well over a year after Arthur’s arrest. But then the DA’s office said it still “needed more time to prepare” so the trial was re-scheduled for Oct. 17, 2018.

The trial – as close to a kangaroo court as we’ve seen

The prejudice and sheer injustice in this trial are nothing short of bizarre. The judge and prosecutor appeared to be almost in collusion. The judge, Commissioner Maria May Santos, was obviously a pro-illegal immigrant liberal and blatantly biased against Arthur. The Deputy District Attorney, Carl Marrone, clearly also a liberal, was relentless in his prosecution of him.

The charge against Arthur was “failure to follow the lawful order of a police officer,” a misdemeanor. His actions were entirely peaceful; once they told him he was under arrest he cooperated completely. But the DA (with the judge’s blessing) focused almost entirely on attacking Arthur’s political beliefs and his conservative activism.

• Crucial evidence excluded. The basis of Arthur’s case was that the government had warned the City of Huntington Park that its action removing Arthur from a previous meeting was illegal, and that the city had a history of similar violations. The city’s order that Arthur be removed in this case appeared to be a similar violation. That’s why Arthur acted as he did. But inexplicably, the judge refused to allow that evidence to be included by Arthur’s lawyer!
• Restriction of witness testimony. Arthur had 11 witnesses to attest that he had not caused any disturbance during the entire city council meeting – and that the opposition was causing a lot of disturbance. The fact that Arthur did not cause a disturbance was pertinent as to whether the city council had lawfully thrown Arthur out of the meeting. But the judge only allowed 2 of the witnesses to testify before the jury -- she simply said that that the others “would be repetitive.”  Interestingly, a police officer who was called as a witness by the DA was forced to admit that he did personally not see or hear Arthur causing any disturbance.
• “Poisoning the jury”. This should have been completely disallowed. The DA’s strategy was to largely ignore what Arthur was actually being charged with, and instead seek to inflame the jury against Arthur and his fellow activists as hateful and dangerous people.
  
  In particular, the prosecutor used lurid rhetoric to depict his group We the People Rising (which includes activists of all ethnic backgrounds who were there protesting illegal immigration) as violent and threatening. It was completely untrue -- and of course had nothing to do with whether Arthur had committed this particular infraction or not. When the DA was cross-examining Arthur’s two witnesses, he mostly asked them bizarre questions about We the People Rising and very little about the actual incident.
  
  The DA showed the jury out-of-context excerpts from videos that Arthur and his group had about the city council meeting and Arthur’s arrest. They had posted these videos to educate the public about what happened. But the DA told the jury that it was a “plot of crass exhibitionism” done “just to get notoriety.” He said they had staged their protest and Arthur’s arrest so they could get YouTube views from the videos. This was an absurd lie and had nothing to do the case

Arthur’s lawyer objected over and over again to these tactics. Arthur’s lawyer insisted that it was outside the scope of the trial. In every instance the judge overruled him and allowed the DA to continue.

When it suited him, the DA even misrepresented the facts of the actual incident. In his closing arguments, he told the jury that everyone had left the room but Arthur. However, the photos we have shown that several other people also stayed in the room.

These sleazy, emotional-based tactics and the judge’s outrageous bias did the job. When the jury went out to deliberate, they came back after just 15 minutes with a “guilty” verdict.

After the sentencing, Arthur and one of his two witnesses who were allowed to testify talked about the arrest, the trial, and the sentencing. See video.

The draconian sentencing

The ultimate outrage came when the judge, Maria May Santos, handed out the sentence. It was like something out of the old Soviet Union. It has little to do with the specific infraction. The sentencing clearly reflects a personal rage at Arthur more than anything else – and to frighten everyone else who agrees with Arthur:

Arthur’s sentence by Judge Maria May Santos:

• Approximately a month picking up garbage on CA highways (20 days x 8 hrs/day)
• Attend the Simon Weisenthal Museum of Tolerance, specifically at least five different exhibits, and write an essay about his visit. 
  (This is to “cure” Arthur of being a “hater” – because he is opposed to illegal immigration.)
• Restraining order: Stay 100 yards away from the Huntington Park City Council chambers and the city council members.
  (Arthur had never threatened the city council members or anyone else in any way. This is simply to stop Arthur from protesting the city council’s illegal actions.)
• Write an apology letter to the Huntington Park City Council and the two police officers who arrested him. 
  (This is to humiliate Arthur a little more.)
• Pay $1500.00 in attorney’s fees.
  (This is very disturbing. Isn’t a public defender supposed to be at no charge, even if you lose the case? This is clearly being done to punish Arthur for insisting on a jury trial.)
• 364 days in jail suspended, 3 years probation. 
  (This seems to be the maximum sentence. Keep in mind that Arthur cooperated completely once he was arrested.)

To give you some perspective …

Like most liberals, Judge Maria May Santos is certainly not known for giving out “tough” sentences – just the opposite! As Arthur sat in her courtroom, he witnessed the following:

• A man had violated a court order to stay from his domestic violence victim – which likely caused a great deal of pain and anxiety to that person. Santos gave him 10 days picking up garbage on the highway, a suspended sentence, and probation.
• Several people had not even begun paying their fines from convictions – one man after a year and a half. Santos basically told them to start paying something, and let them go.
• A man was caught lying right in the courtroom to the judge about starting work on his community service. She simply made a note of it and told him he should do it.

She certainly didn’t get enraged at them, or anything else. Arthur’s sentence was all about punishing his political beliefs and conservative activism.

In April 2017 in Berkeley, CA, this Antifa member, a local college professor (left), pummelled seven people with a bike lock. One victim (left) was left bleeding profusely. Although he was caught and went to trial, the prosecutor and judge made sure he simply received probation..

An appeal

If we allow this horrendous act of sheer injustice and political hatred to go unchallenged, we’d all better get ready for more of it.

If Arthur were a Leftist in this situation, we all know what would happen. The ACLU would be on top of this in the most aggressive way possible.

Unfortunately, every pro-family conservative legal group we’ve contacted has declined to help Arthur. They said they are more interested in “religious liberty” cases, which (to be honest) are the popular conservative thing these days, and easier to do.

Arthur has until Nov. 28 to file an appeal. We are working on finding legal counsel. If necessary, Arthur will file the appeal himself.

We believe that in a fair courtroom, Arthur would have been exonerated. We are determined fight this. We’ll keep you informed.

Action Alert: Time to Protest Domestic Terrorist Maxine Waters (Oath Keepers)

Oath Keepers Call to Action: Protest Terrorist Inciter Maxine Waters, Thursday, July 19

• July 17, 2018
• Stewart Rhodes
• 2
• Call to Action, Featured
• Maxine Waters, threats, Trump administration employees

OATH KEEPERS, STAND AGAINST TERRORISM, AND STAND FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION, AND IN SUPPORT OF ICE/BORDER PATROL AS THEY ENFORCE CONSTITUTIONAL IMMIGRATION LAWS

This is a call to action to protest outside Maxine Waters’ District Office in Los Angeles, starting Thursday, July 19, 2018 from 1pm to 3:30 pm. 

NOTE: This call to action is intended for those in California or within reasonable driving range. If that does not apply to you, then just take this as information letting you know what we are doing.  But please spread the word and post this on social media so others are made aware.  

This is the launch of an ongoing protest that may go on for several weeks.   Other patriotic groups are welcome to join us. 

This is both a protest against Maxine Waters’ incitement of terrorism, and a stand FOR ICE and the Border Patrol, as they enforce the perfectly constitutional immigration and naturalization laws of this nation.

Oath Keepers has already stepped up to offer protection to ICE and Border Patrol families if they need it.
https://oathkeepers.org/2018/06/oath-keepers-offers-protection-to-ice-and-border-patrol-families-after-leftist-threats/

Come stand with us on the sidewalk outside Maxine Waters’ District Office.

We invite all patriotic supporters of the Constitution to join us in standing up against leftist attempts to impede the securing of our borders through intimidation and terrorism, and to stand in support of our brave ICE and Border Patrol agents who work to secure the border.  Other patriotic groups are welcome to participate in this protest, so long as they support the Constitution and do not discriminate on racial lines.   Please RSVP by emailing to: ca@oathkeepers.org

Where:

10124 South Broadway. Suite 1. Los Angeles, CA 90003. Phone: (323) 757-8900. Fax: (323) 757-9506 …

When:

We will protest on Thursday, July 19, from 1pm to 3:30pm, as a start.  Again, we expect this to be an ongoing protest for an indefinite time.

Why:  Maxine Waters is inciting far-left terrorist violence and threats of violence.   In Los Angeles, Maxine Waters told a crowd:

“If you see anybody from that [Trump] Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them! And you tell them that they are not welcome, anymore, anywhere” 

Watch the video here:

As Fox News reports, “Those comments came after White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and Homeland Security Security Kirstjen Nielsen were pressured to leave restaurants amid the controversy over the administration’s immigration enforcement policies.”

This goes far beyond mere protest.   As Tucker Carlson pointed out, the far left now asserts that the Bill of Rights only applies to those who agree with them.  Their views are protected by the First Amendment, while your views are ‘hate speech” and anyone who doesn’t share the left’s views no longer has freedom of movement or association.  They can’t go to the movies, they can’t go to restaurants without being exposed to harassment and intimidation.

The far left has recently also threatened ICE and Border Patrol agents and their families, Trump family members, and conservative officials nationwide:

https://oathkeepers.org/2018/06/leftist-threats-administration-employees-even-children/

And the backdrop to all of this is the well-documented, numerous examples of actual far-left political violence since Trump’s election by such groups as Antifa or BAMN (By Any Means Necessary), both organizations that advocate and directly use violence to influence political behavior, which is the definition of terrorism:

“the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).

It is not merely that targeted people may be yelled at as they go about their day.  They will be in real fear of being physically attacked or they will be physically attacked just as numerous others have been, such as this woman who dared to want to attend a public speech on the UC Berkeley Campus that Antifa didn’t like.  Her punishment?  Being pepper sprayed and hit in the head with a metal pole, resulting in a concussion:

Also see this Tucker Carlson interview with the Marxist leader of the California based Marxist terrorist group BAMN as she openly endorses political violence to silence those she disagrees with, including footage of her and her followers committing assault to drive people she disagrees with “off our streets”:

Which is exactly why Oath Keepers stepped up in California and across the nation to successfully protect numerous public speaking events against the direct threat of Antifa and BAMN violence, including twice in the MLK Park in downtown Berkeley.

https://oathkeepers.org/2017/04/oath-keepers-battle-berkeley-april-15-report/

Given the clear track record of Antifa, BAMN, and other far-left groups, which openly use violence and the threat of violence to intimidate and silence their political enemies, Maxine Waters either knew or should have known that her calls for people to harass Trump Admin officials would be answered by those inclined toward terrorist violence.   It stretches credibility for her to assert she didn’t know that.  And she also knew or should have known that this would cause fear of violence in the people she is targeting, which is in fact exactly what she wants to do, as noted above, to pressure them to change their views.  She is inciting political violence (terrorism).

https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/maxine-waters-political-violence/

Rather than realizing that she crossed the line into incitement of violence for political purposes (terrorism), Maxine Waters doubled down on it and made it clear that she wants people to harass Trump Admin employees specifically to change their behavior by changing their political views and forcing them to turn on President Trump and pressure him to change his policy positions.

Maxine Waters is inciting terrorist violence and threats of violence. We need to stand up against this.   As Oath Keepers Founder Stewart Rhodes recently stated:

“It is time for all of us “sheepdogs” within the American warrior class (police, military, first-responders) to unite in common defense of the Constitution we all swore to defend, and in defense of our homes, families, and communities against those who would destroy this nation from within, in alliance with enemies from without, such as the drug cartels who now terrorize all of Mexico and who are now bringing their terror, rape, murder, and corruption north into our nation.   Remember, our oath is to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

In addition to coming out to protest, please also contact Maxine Waters’ office and let them know what you think of her incitement to violence.  Contact her office at:   Phone: (323) 757-8900. Fax: (323) 757-9506

Please refrain from making any statements that can be construed as threats, or construed as racially motivated, lest they accuse us of what their own side has already done.

And for those who will be on the sidewalk with us, please be sure you keep your cool and stay calm, collected, and professional in your dealings with the public and any counter-protesters who may show up.

For the Republic,

Oath Keepers

Miracles Abound: California City in Liberal Bastion Rejects Sanctuary State

While I attended a speaking engagement in Northern California—really Northern, as in Siskiyou County, the heart of the original resistance against Sacramento’s lawlessness—fellow Southern California patriots were continuing their fight against the SB 54, aka the infamous Sanctuary State law.

Jurisdictions throughout California have gone on record opposing the law, filing lawsuits or amicus curiae briefs with the Department of Justice, or outright overriding the law through resolutions and ordinances. Sadly, my home city of Torrance and the entire County of Los Angeles County have remained stalwart against the movement. The city of San Dimas (home of Bill and Ted—righteous!) discussed the issue, but the council majority chickened out and refused to do anything. The originator of the motion, Councilman Ryan Vienna, filed his own amicus brief notwithstanding the reticence of his colleagues.

What has held up Los Angeles County elected officials from taking action? LA County is turning into San Francisco South, including the rampant homelessness throughout Downtown Los Angeles. Yet at the same time, a rapid gentrification process is pushing out working and middle-income Angelenos. The rich are getting richer, and everyone else has gotten poorer or fled the state. The Protest Culture is alive and well in the city of Angels, since the heart of the Brown Supremacy, Open Borders, La Raza movement rests in Los Angeles County. Downtown LA has witnessed anti-Trump protests not just in the streets, but in the halls of power, city councils and the County Board of Supervisors.

It wasn’t like this before. At the turn of the 19^th to 20^th centuries, Republicans dominated the entire county, and Democrats didn’t field candidates. In the 1970s, Long Beach, CA enjoyed a roaring red resurgence up to the 2000’s. Conservative firebrand Robert “B-One Bob” Dornan was my Congressman when I was a baby. Is there hope for Los Angeles County? Yes, and it’s shining forth specifically Santa Clarita, CA. While I could not witness the latest victory, the enthusiasm from the audience, and the grudging necessity of the press to report this growing backlash to illegal immigration, was stunning, gratifying, and encouraging.

Santa Clarita is a relatively new municipality, established in 1987, although the region celebrates a rich history from its early Spanish land-grant days to the gold-mining craze which swept the state. Today, Santa Clarita is the fourth most populous city in the county, and it shows why more Californians flee the LA basin. Clean streets, beautiful neighborhoods, safety and prosperity, plus a hot yet still attainable housing market have made Santa Clarita an ideal destination for newlyweds and growing families. One activist who lives there told me that Santa Clarita truly represents what America is—not the rest of the county on the South side of the Antelope Valley.

Honestly, Santa Clarita feels more like the more conservative, well-governed Orange County, yet concerned citizens have wondered what it would take for the northern half of Los Angeles County to break away and form its own county. They signaled their first clear break Wednesday morning, when after six hours of testimony the city council voted unanimously to oppose SB 54, file their resolution with every lawmaker in Sacramento, and join the lawsuit against the state of California. 

Conservatives and the growing Trump contingent in the region prepared for at least two months to press this issue. Councilman, Robert Kellar introduced the motion in March, but no action followed. Citizens in the city and throughout the county repeatedly contacted the council to oppose SB 54. The local paper, as liberal as any other, released a survey to gauge public sentiment. Initially, the poll skewed toward opposition to any action. The local Indivisible group, left-wing activists doing everything in their power to turn Santa Clarita blue and remove Congressman Steve Knight (R-Palmdale).

Activists all over the region—and the country—filled in their own responses, and we won the on-line poll. Next, victorious conservatives from other counties connected with Santa Clarita residents and prepared to attend the Santa Clarita City Council meeting. The agenda item to oppose SB 54 came up on May 8^th. Sanctuary State opponents outnumbered the open borders activists 10-to-1 according to some reports. The frustration and hope were palpable in the room. Many of the citizens who spoke at the meeting are friends of mine, and they shared the same arguments which have swayed city councils and county boards across the state.

The city council’s closing remarks before the vote were the most moving. Councilman Bill Miranda castigated the open border partisans who had threatened his elected office, since this year is an election year. “This is not about getting elected. This about doing what is right.” He supported the motion, despite the opposition’s increasingly desperate efforts to smear his support because of his Latino ethnic background.

Councilman Cameron Smythe, who had served in the state assembly before, slammed the state legislature for their egregious overreach. He countered the tired arguments of the communist-sympathizing Left. “Sure, there’s no property crime in Cuba—because there’s nothing to steal. No one’s homeless, because the government tells you where to live.” The island dystopia stations towers along the coastline. They aren’t lifeguard towers, but rather military outposts designed to prevent Cubans from fleeing! That’s communism, and the final goal of the open borders agenda.

Mayor Laurene Weste and Councilman Kellar reminded the audience that illegals have murdered sheriff’s deputies in the region, including Santa Clarita native David March.  The council affirmed their love of country and constitution, then recognized the frustration of the audience with illegal immigration, rising crime, and California politicians’ generous embrace of lawlessness. With that, the Santa Clarita city council made history and voted to opt out of SB 54.

The rest of the country may say that California is a lost cause, but we the people of this Golden State have found a cause to rally around to make our state great again, and the movement is spreading, even into the most liberal enclaves in the state.

Keith Hardine: Thank You, OC Board of Supervisors For Standing Up to Sanctuary State Bullies

Keith Hardine of Los Angeles is a very good friend of mine,

He taught me so much about the founding principles of our country, including the Declaration of Independence. He has stressed to every audience he speaks of the importance of this country returning to its foundational, constitutional roots.

After the Orange County Board of Supervisors voted to reject SB 54 and file an amicus brief with the Department of Justice against California's sanctuary state laws, he sent out the following "Thank You" letter.

We the People Rising Protest SB 54 (LA Times photo)

I wanted to share his letter with the public:

Subject: Thank You OC Supervisors, for Standing up to the Bully Statists’ of California. 

Thank You OC Supervisors, for Standing up to Bully Statists’ of California.

“He” [the Governor] “has refused his Assentw to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.”

This was the first grievance listed in the Declaration of Independence against the tyrannical king of England in 1776. And it can also be equally applied to Governor Jerry Brown, and his progressive totalitarian legislature of California today. They, and other’s who insist that the Sanctuary State law SB54 is good for the people residing in California are using this law to overstep the authority of both state and federal Constitutions, which they have sworn an Oath to uphold; and to limit the Unalienable Rights of American citizens, which they are duty bound to protect."

Nevertheless by God’s Gace, some local public officials are now finding the courage to stand up for the Rule of Law, and Natural Rights, against these bully-statists’ on behalf of the American People of California.

During an interview on Fox News, Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens detailed how her Department will work with I.C.E. to make the community safer. 

As a result, Sheriff Hutchens has been threatened with arrest by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra for working with I.C.E to remove violent criminal aliens from the streets. IS HE INSANE? ATTORNEY GENERAL BECERRA IS THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR TREASON!

The Department of Justice—and millions of us living in California—are applauding the move by Orange County just weeks after Attorney General Jeff Sessions traveled to the state to announce the lawsuit. 

"The Justice Department welcomes Orange County’s decision to support our lawsuit against California’s so-called ‘sanctuary state’ policies. Orange County’s residents have experienced firsthand the negative effects of SB 54, which mandates releasing criminal aliens back into their communities instead of into the custody of federal immigration authorities," Justice Department spokesman Devin O'Malley said in a statement. "The Orange County Board of Supervisor does hereby reject the effort through state law to violate the Constitution of the United States and instead will comply with the appropriate Federal Laws and the Constitution of the United States and encourage all cities and agencies within the County of Orange to do the same."

McClintock Blasts Sanctuary State Lawlessness in California

It's good that someone in Congress is paying attention.

California's sanctuary state lawlessness cannot go on unchallenged. It's time to put a stop to this madness.

Congressman McClintock slams the wasteful, immoral nullification crisis which the state legislature in Sacramento is trying to foist on every law-abiding citizen in the state of California.

Dear President Trump and AG Sessions:

"Lawsuits are nice; cutting federal grant funding to outlaw cities is nice, too. WE NEED ARRESTS. WE NEED PERP WALKS. WE NEED ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW"

I stand by this remark to the fullest.

We don't need more legislative jousting. We need executive power and enforcement of the law.

Let's get busy, AG Sessions!

Let's get to work, President Trump!

President Trump and AG Sessions: Do Your Job!

Tom Hanks has a sense of humor, and he’s not that bad an actor. One of my favorite lines from him comes from the movie “Turner and Hooch.” Playing a police officer solving a contentious murder mystery, he struggles to raise a slobbery bloodhound that really pushes his limits. At one point, he shouts: “What do you want me to do? Make you a margarita?” A statement laced with humor and frustration, that’s how I feel right now about the Trump Administration and their stunning tardiness on cracking down on California’s latest illegal alien lawlessness.

In his unprecedented speech to the California Peace Officers' Association, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a lawsuit against the state of California for rampant violation of federal immigration laws. He cited three specific statutes that his administration was targeting an array of sanctuary state laws which have barred local and state law enforcement from sharing critical information about illegal alien criminals under lock and key.

Hey, thanks Jeff. Really. But it’s not making enough of a difference right now.

First of all, Libby Schaaf, the corrupt mayor of Oakland who cares more about coddling criminals than protecting law-abiding, taxpaying citizens, has doubled down and defended her obstruction of justice in informing a wide swatch of illegals in the Bay Area that ICE was coming. I am glad that he specifically called out Schaaf in front of the Sacramento area police officers association. “How dare you?”

But do we really expect these demonic Democrats to care? One has to wonder if Republican Congressmen in Ante-Bellum days asked Democrats the same question when they were defending slavery up to the civil war. The entire identity of the Democratic Party then was invested in protecting the denigration of black people for cheap labor and easy votes. Nothing has changed, except now Democrats want illegal aliens with their cheap labor and unlawful votes to keep them in power. Their whole life is based on lawless daring.

And it’s getting worse.

Jose Garcia-Zarate, the illegal alien who murdered—yes, murdered—Kate Steinle, acquitted by a jury of left-wing Millennials and Western guilt-tripped technocrats, has filed a lawsuit against the federal government for “vindictive prosecution.” The audacity! Prosecution will tend toward vindictiveness, I suppose, when a criminal repeatedly breaks into our country, violates warrants, steals a firearm from a federal official, then murders an innocent American in broad daylight. It reminds me of a proverb: “Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.” (Proverbs 30:20) Replace “adulterous woman with “illegal alien”, of course, although we could point to Libby Schaaf, who betrayed her oath and her constituents to protect criminals.

A lawsuit is nice, and a rousing speech is great, too, but their lawlessness has not ceased.

Not to be outdone by the corrupt mayor and the litigious illegal alien, California State Senate President Pro Tem (now Emeritus, but still a pain in the ass) Kevin De Leon—who is challenging Dianne Feinstein for US Senate—just appointed an illegal alien to a state commission. This illegal alien, Lizbeth Mateo, crowed about this appointment in two brazen, sickening tweets:

In #lawschool I often wondered if I was fit to b in #lawjournal, #mootcourt bc not many ppl w/ my same background did. I always went for it bc even if I felt inadequate I thought I could add something of value. I hope to do the same w/ @StudentAidCommission. #undocumentedunafraid

And then:

March 14, 2018

Thank you Sen. @kdeleon for appointing me to the CalSOAP Advisory Committee. I look forward to working w/ the rest of the committee & the Student Aid Commission in such important task - increase the accessibility of postsecondary education opportunities for low-income students.

 “Oh how sweet! Like at this young lady with a baby? She’s a hard-working immigrant taking a job that no American would take.” Whatever. This is all immoral, unconstitutional, desperate nonsense.

Here’s all that really matters: Lizzy broke into this country, stole an education from American students using our taxpayer dollars, and is now a lawyer. An illegal legal? Yes, that now exists in California. This is not the first illegal legal, either: Sergio Garcia actually filed a lawsuit which went all the way to the California State Supreme Court. Following their ruling, illegal alien Garcia was able to apply for a professional law license. How exactly can an illegal alien dispense legal advice? The best advice for him to give would be to himself, and to leave the country.

And of course, who can forget the two illegal aliens—Julian Zatarain and Francisco Medina—who are sitting on two city commissions to this day in Huntington Park, CA? For nearly two years, We the People Rising and other local activist groups pounded the Huntington Park city council for two years. We filed complaints with the LA County District Attorney’s Office, the FBI, and the US Attorney’s Office, California Central Division. When Trump came into office, we trusted that enforcement would be the rule, not the exception.

Yes, ICE raided the Bicycle Gardens Casino and has rounded up hundreds of California’s illegal aliens. Yet fellow residents still ask me when ICE will sweep their cities. “Where is ICE?” asked seasoned pro-enforcement activist Lupe Moreno asked earlier this year in the heart of Santa Ana, the same city where Congressman Lou Correa attempted to host an illegal alien town hall teaching illegals how to circumvent our immigration laws.

President Trump, what do you want me to do? Make you a margarita? Lawsuits are nice; cutting federal grant funding to outlaw cities is nice, too. We need arrests. We need perp walks. We need enforcement of the law.

I refuse to settle for “To Hell With California”. California is already a hell-hole of missed deadlines, bad priorities, and left-wing inanity. But it does not have to stay that way. You need to do your job, President and Attorney General!

Linda Sanchez Lobbies for House Speaker on the Backs of DACA Brats

One contact told me that I was reading too much into the succession of eblasts from Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (D-Whittier). However, her frequent appearances on national attention, plus her repeated mentions that she is the 5th highest-ranking Democrat in the caucus--and the highest ranking Latina in Congress, all suggest that she wants to move on up.

It's doubly disgusting that she is taking every step she can to promote herself using the illegal alien youth in our country and their plight--created by their illegal alien parents and President Obama.

Check out her latest eblast hustling for money, power, and prestige off the plight of the DACA Brats:

URGENT: Demand that Congress protect DREAMers from deportation >>

SIGN YOUR NAME

Arthur, this is our best chance to make Congressional Republicans act to protect families from being broken up.

Congress is debating which federal programs to fund this week, and Democrats have the leverage to demand action on their priorities. And they believe that any deal needs to include relief for DREAMers.

Stand with Linda and Congressional Democrats: tell Republicans to protect DREAMers!

Three months ago, Donald Trump’s administration began to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

This program has protected over 800,000 undocumented people who were brought to this country as children through no fault of their own.

These immigrants, known as DREAMers, are in our schools. They work at small businesses. They are teachers. They’ve started families.

DREAMers are part of the fabric of our country, and we need to protect them from deportation if Donald Trump won’t.

As the daughter of immigrants, Linda knows the value these Americans bring to our country, and we know you agree that they make our country stronger.

Let’s call on Congress to act. Sign your name and tell Congress to stop DREAMers from being deported.

SIGN YOUR NAME

Thank you for your quick action,

Team Sánchez
