On Monday, July 2nd, I issued the following press release to combat the social media mob hatefest against LA County Trump supporter Roslyn La Liberte:
Torrance, CA--
LA County for Trump wishes to inform the public that Roslyn La Liberte has become the victim of a vicious, unsubstantiated set of media attacks because of false information released to the public.
Alan Vargas, an open-borders activist, sent out an inflammatory, false tweet attacking Trump Supporter Roslyn La Liberte, claiming that she had uttered racist epithets at a 14-year old named Joey Luevanos.
Even though both she and the boy have discredited those attacks in one report on Fox 11 News, media personalities such as Joy Reid, Ana Navarro, and Soledad O'Brien have continued to repost and retweet the libelous, misleading information at great length.
"This is absolutely terrible," said Arthur Schaper, member of LA County for Trump. "No one should be shamed or lose their business or livelihood because they want to speak out on issues which they care about, especially in public meetings--where everyone is allowed by law to attend and speak."
Mrs. La Liberte has suffered a substantial loss to her business. Clients have abandoned her because they wrongly believe she made unsolicited, racist verbal attacks at a city council meeting. This social media campaign of malicious hate is libelous and defamatory.
"We urge all major media outlets in the Southern California and National media markets to assist us in combatting the lies and help us correct the record and restore the reputation of our friend and fellow Trump supporter Roslyn La Liberte," Schaper concluded.
I received the following response from Jack Ohman, the anti-Trump hack cartoonist from the Sacramento Bee:

Hi, Arthur:
Was wondering if I could forward you a number of emails from Trump folks calling for my firing, public humiliation, and so on.
Cordially,
Jack
P.S....I am certain my cartooning colleagues would be happy to provide you with some as well.
So, Ohman wants to play victim. "Poor me, poor us, poor left-wing press! We get dinged and mocked and shamed all the time by President Trump!"
Can you blame the President, though? 90% of what the mainstream media puts out there is flagrantly anti-Trump, even though the economy is roaring like crazy for all working people, including black and Hispanic Americans. Working people are finding jobs again. Illegal immigration is finally getting tackled. President Trump's "zero tolerance" policy has been effective at discouraging illegal aliens from entering the country, too. Energy independence is a growing reality for the United States. Our foreign allies respect the United States, and our enemies fear the United States. There is so much to celebrate.
Here's a sample of Ohman's twisted sense of humor (twisted because based on false info):
No mention of the corruption from the mayor of San Juan or the massive waste which defines the bloated, big government abuse in Puerto Rico.
How about this one?
Really? The whole Putin angle? Still?! This is sad!
What a crock.
Remember, Ohman is a cartoon hack, or a cartoonish hack.
It gets better. He wanted to cry about how unfairly the President attacks the press:
Dan Rather said yesterday that he will end his nearly 24-year reign as CBS News anchor early next year, setting the terms of his departure instead of waiting for an investigative report on his rushed and admittedly flawed story on President Bush's National Guard service. In saying he will step down ...
A Massachusetts newspaper reporter has resigned after falsely suggesting the perpetrator of the deadly shooting at a Maryland newspaper was wearing a President Donald Trump-inspired "Make America Great Again" hat.
How about the LA Times freelancer who threaten Mike Cernovich?
Are you going to do a cartoon about how your colleagues can't seem to tell the truth?
Ohman wasn't interested in answering directly the concerns about Roslyn La Liberte.
The liberal, corporate, legacy media doesn't like being confronted on their crap.
They have gotten used to their narrative dominating the political discussion in this country for decades. Now that digital media in general, and social media in particular, have allowed individual citizens to report news before the liberal media can take it and distort it.
The left-wing press needs to be held accountable for not reporting the truth, and for pretending that they are objective when they are not just partisan, but petty in their partisanship.
Jack Ohman, TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) Hack
Once again, I think it's unfortunate that these embittered hacks, both in print and picture, would rather denigrate President Trump without any regard for truth, facts, or reality. It's no surprise to me that Ohman gets lots of "hate" mail from Trump supporters. The anti-Trump animus is just sickening, arrogant, and ultimately doomed to fail.
My name is Arthur Schaper, a CAGOP delegate from Torrance, CA, in Los Angeles County. We are mounting a growing effort throughout the state to stop Sanctuary State, and we have had commensurate victories in Southern California.
Now we need to get some victories going on in Northern California, too, along with the North State Counties which have already opted out of SB 54 (Tehama, Siskiyou, Shasta, El Dorado, etc).
You need to mount protests and get people to attend the next Yolo County Board of Supervisors Meeting.
They are planning to remove ICE completely from the county jails!
Here is all the information you need:
Email addresses to Yolo County Board of Supervisors and staff:
Below, you will find a template letter to send to them to OPT OUT of SB 54, Sanctuary State.
PLEASE Get the word out.
The Yolo County Board of Supervisors Meeting:
04/03/2018 9:00 AM Location: Board Chambers 625 Court Street, Room 206 Woodland, California 95695
Please Pass a Constitution Compliance Ordinance/Resolution--Disregard/Opt out of SB 54
Dear [CITY] City Council and staff:
My name is _____________, a life-long California resident deeply concerned about SB 54, the sanctuary state law which is endangering our public safety officers, our businesses, and our fellow citizens.
I am writing this extended letter to all of you urging the city to pass an ordinance/resolution rejecting compliance with the unconstitutional California Values Act, i.e. SB 54. The legislation creates a direct conflict for municipal governments between compliance with state and federal law.
This crisis must be resolved, especially for private firms who must comply with federal law, yet face fines and prosecution from the state attorney general for doing so. The same holds true for police and other public safety and civil servants in the state of California. This schism between federal and state law is untenable.
We are a nation of laws, and cities can draft ordinances/resolutions that reflect not just the oaths of office taken by every elected official, but also the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution (Art. VI, Sec. 2)
The City of Los Alamitos has submitted and approved an ordinance called "Constitution of the United States Compliance," which resolves the above conflict for their city, civil staff, residents, and businesses. They have opted to disregard SB 54 and comply with federal law.
Entire counties in Northern California have already opted out of SB 54, refusing to disobey federal law, including Tehama, Siskiyou and Shasta counties. Kern County still cooperates fully with ICE, too. The Orange County Board of Supervisors just passed a resolution condemning SB 54 and filing an amicus brief with the Department of Justice against the State of California. The city of Mission Viejo has done the same thing, along with the city of Yorba Linda. The week of April 2, 2018, the cities of Huntington Beach and Aliso Viejo will be considering similar ordinances, too. Glendora, Murrieta, and other Southern California cities are exploring their options, too,
Sheriffs throughout the state are rejecting this lawlessness. El Dorado County Sheriff John D’Agostini officially asserted that he would comply with federal law, not the contradictory state law. Orange County Sheriff Sarah Hutchens has released the information on all inmates and their release times, including illegal aliens, in full cooperation with federal agencies and in defiance of the unlawful, unconstitutional California, Sanctuary State legislation. Even in Los Angeles County, Sheriff Jim McDonnell has taken every step possible to ensure public safety and cooperate with ICE in spite of repeated pressure from Sacramento politicians, the left-wing Board of Supervisors, and open-border advocates.
Here are the news articles announcing Los Alamitos’ decision to opt out of SB 54:
[CITY] can and must do the same. The city has the authority and the responsibility to do so.
I have provided a template attached with the exact same language as the ordinance passed in Los Alamitos.
Of course, the [CITY] city council should direct legal and civil staff to look over the language of the ordinance to affirm that everything is in proper order.
For the PDF file of the Los Alamitos Ordinance, see below, pg. 171-173:
http://cityoflosalamitos.org/?wpfb_dl=3092
[CITY] should take on the state legislature's affront to the rule of law imposed on California's municipalities because of SB 54. The city has taken the lead on many issues. This is one core matter which the city can and should take a stand on.
The trial for Kate Steinle’s alleged illegal alien murderer
began on Monday, two years after her tragic, unnecessary demise. The Sacramento Bee Editorial Board argues
that sanctuary cities are not to blame, but rather San Francisco’s lack of social
services for homeless transients. I am surprised that the the Editorial Board didn’t
demand more gun control.
Steinle’s unthinkable murder forced destructive sanctuary
city policies to the forefront of the national debate on immigration. However,
in typical liberal fashion, the editorial snidely disputes this argument, even
disdaining “conservative” opinion on illegal immigration. First there’s the
mocking “cue the chant ‘Build the Wall’” phrase, trying to turn the demand for
border security into a mindless, meaningless mantra. For decades, Americans
have demanded a barrier along the Southern border. Even moderate conservative Charles
Krauthammer advocates for “the wall”—and he is no fan of President Trump. The editorial then takes a subtle jab
at Bill O’Reilly—"when he still had a job at Fox News”—because he demanded
the arrest of all elected officials complicit in sanctuary city policies.
Actually, it
is a federal crime to aid and abet illegal aliens.
More to the point, the editorial references one Breitbart article which exposed the
sketchy statistics relating to illegal alien crimes, written by then
Editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro: Media
Cover Up Illegal Immigrant Criminality. Shapiro focused on the media’s
obsessions with political correctness in reference to illegal
aliens—“undocumented immigrant”, “immigrant without legal status,” etc. He outlined
the media’s determination to remove mention of an assailant’s unlawful status
in the country. The Democratic Party and the left-wing open borders phalanx of
Big Business, Big Labor, and Big La Raza also downplay this factor in illegal
alien murders committed on American soil, citing that “all murders are bad.” Sure,
but illegal alien criminals in our country should have never been here, and if our
immigration laws had been enforced, those deaths would have never occurred.
This part escapes most reporters and editors.
I was stunned by this complaisant editorial defending
sanctuary cities. I
contacted the Editorial page editor Dan Morain. My first question dealt
with the seemingly snide aside toward conservatives at the end of the
editorial: “The Steinle family deserves the facts –not the echo chamber that is
the court of conservative public opinion.” Morain advised not to read too much
into that statement. Rather than calling Zarate’s presence on San Francisco
streets “a crime”, he cited it as an example of negligent “dumping”. It is true
that city officials and hospitals have engaged in unlawful dumping of mentally and
physically ill transients, but that outrage should focus on citizens not
getting basic services from our elected officials.
Besides, Zarate was a not mentally ill transient. This
illegal alien deliberately fled to San Francisco. He had another felony warrant
against him in Texas. He knew that immigration officials would not seek him out
in “Sanctuary City” Francisco. He stole the firearm that he discharged to kill
Steinle from a federal official. Both actions prove malice aforethought and
calculation, and both require a sound mind and body.
I asked for Morain’s views about sanctuary city policies. He
contended that the term is misused. “Police should be allowed to do their jobs.
ICE should be allowed to their jobs.” Not satisfied, I asked: “Should cities
comply with ICE detainers?” He was evasive: “I think that cities should follow
the law.” Really?! I tried to pin him down: “Well, the law is greatly in
dispute at this time.” No, it isn’t. One Oregon federal district court struck
down the detainers, but ICE has since then updated them to assure municipal compliance.
The media’s compassion for illegals instead of the victims’
families is just astounding. Another example of this misplaced media fawning
affected Angie Morfin of Salinas, CA—whose son was murdered by an illegal alien
gangbanger: “No one ever contacted me … from Sacramento. [T]he Latino leaders
and politicians all treat me like poison. The media … have always said that
that I had too much hate in my heart.” Morain
also dismissed my questions about his contact with victims of illegals,
initially cutting me off with “Yes, I have met with many victims of crimes.” Yes,
but what about those connected to victims killed by illegals? I told him to let
me finish. Morain admitted to me that he had not met with Kate’s parents.
Here we find how deep the liberal bias distorts the news and
these troublesome trends. A number of times, Morain said “You will probably not
agree with me.” Yes, that’s clear, but I am interested in why the press is so
determined to push the sob stories. When it comes to violent crimes committed
by illegals, the media downplays the lawlessness, pities the illegal alien
criminal, and ignores the grieving parents. However in one sense, Morain is
right about “dumping”. San Francisco refused to comply with the ICE detainer
for Jose Zarate, and the city “dumped” the illegal on city streets.
The press largely dismisses the dark side of illegal
immigration. They shed compassion on the illegals, often refusing to call them
“illegal”. They want to promote open border policies and denigrate the
government for not giving enough of taxpayer-subsidized benefits, even though
sanctuary cities have ignored their primary role of protecting the rights and
safety of the citizens.
Why such complaisance from the media?
I submit it largely goes back to the progressive worldview,
one which posits that a large, providential government creating a better
environment for all people would ensure that the basic goodness of man would
emerge. The Rousseau world-view of the goodness of man, a one-world utopia
where borders don’t matter and national identity phases away still drives the
vantage point of these liberals. These illegal aliens are just victims of the
global disturbances and distortions. It’s not their fault they become bad actors
in a city. These illegals are not even criminals, but rather misguided souls
who should have received the proper help from the government.
The Sacramento Bee finally picked up the story about how grassroots conservative activists helped topple Kristin Olsen as CAGOP Vice Chair.
I had pressured Chris Cadelago of the SacBee to write something, especially since the corrupt, left-wing LA Times just wrote down the same party line coughed up from Kissing Kristin in her resignation letter:
Republican activists are claiming credit for the resignation of a key
party official, but former Assembly Minority Leader Kristin Olsen says she
wrestled for months over her decision last weekend to step down as vice chair
of the California Republican Party.
Of course she did! And her donors didn't want her to leave, either, since she was bringing in big money. If not for the pressure from the "little people", including myself, who had refused to pull the resolution demanding that she step down, she would have waited out the storm and stayed on.
Olsen, a rising star in the party who serves as an elected supervisor
for Stanislaus County, said she was on the fence last year about even taking
the job given the duties of public office and her responsibilities as a single
mother of three who is trying to grow her consulting business. Before deciding
to step down, Olsen said, “I wrestled with this decision for a very long time.”
"Single mother of three" ... when did that happen? For all intents and purposes, she remains married, but in an estranged status, as she stepped out on her husband repeatedly. She wrecked her home with frequent dalliances with other men. Sources have informed me that she not only had an affair with Chad Mayes, but she was also sleeping with Democratic Assembly Adam Gray, too.
In addition to her own busy schedule, Olsen said it became clear she
didn’t have the logistical support needed from the party on a project she led
to develop “solution-focused leadership (and) messaging focused on everyday
Californians” to help expand the GOP’s shrinking ranks.
"Logistical support"? Does that mean having an open marriage? Did she logically believe that we the Republican base were going to tolerate more Democrat-lite selling out on principles?
An ad featuring state Sen. Anthony Cannella, R-Modesto, Assemblyman
Adam Gray, D-Merced, and former Assembly Republican Leader Kristin Olsen urged
people to support Measure L, a transportation tax measure on the Nov. 8, 2016
ballot. It passed. Gray's Valley Solutions ballot measure committee paid more
than $100,000 for the ads, a spokesman said.
So, we have Democrats and Republicans jumping around with each other to raise taxes on Central Valley taxpayers. All of this should work out very well, right?
WRONG!
Olsen’s departure comes as a pair of vocal conservative activists and
bloggers were preparing a resolution for the state party’s upcoming convention
calling for her censure and resignation. Arthur Christopher Schaper declined
Monday to withdraw the resolution, which, among other allegations, restates
claims of an affair between Olsen and GOP Assemblyman Chad Mayes. Olsen’s
estranged husband sent a letter to the Assembly in April, seeking an
investigation into whether any state resources were used to conceal a
relationship between the two.
What?
Mayes was ousted from his leadership post in August. Schaper and Joseph
Turner, a self-described nationalist hard-liner on illegal immigration issues,
helped instigate the shakeup after Mayes led a faction of Republicans to cross
party lines and support Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown’s cap and trade climate
change program.
YES! YES! YES! Yes we did!
Olsen was one of those who opposed the party turning against Mayes. Yet
even some who agreed that Mayes should step down privately complained that an
internal power struggle could sidetrack the party’s efforts in next year’s
elections to break the Democrats’ two-thirds supermajorities in the
Legislature.
Of course she opposed a strong motion of censure against Chad Mayes. She was sleeping with him and helped broker the corrupt Cap and Betrayal deal!
Joseph Turner
On his blog, Turner questioned Olsen’s stated reasons for stepping away
just as activists were “going to wage a holy war against her.” In an interview
Monday, he said it is “absolutely laughable” that there was no connection
between the conservative activism and resolution and her decision.
There is a growing, widespread connection. I have received calls from people all over the state congratulating me and Joseph for taking down Mayes and Olsen. Of course, the work is hardly done when it comes to Sacramento, since Mayes negotiated the terms of his surrender and brought in Brian Dahle as the new minority leader.
Olsen said Monday that she only learned about the anticipated
resolution on social media, but added she wasn’t surprised that her detractors
were trying to take credit for her leaving.
We are taking credit because it's true! She learned about the resolution at length because I shared it on Twitter--and I even attached her to it!
How could she not have known about the growing move to get rid of her? The Chairman Jim Brulte called me and told me to pull the resolution. "Trust me", he said to me. I refused to budge. She needed to step down, and as of now, I see no reason to pull the resolution. This is outrageous! She actually wants to cover her tracks and act like she is being a mature, responsible adult?!
“There are activists within the party who would rather continue the
infighting that doesn’t help anyone … than focus on a rebuilding effort where
Republican values are moving our state to a better place,” Olsen said. “As long
as the party has voices that allow the infighting to be more dominant than the
progress and moving forward, that’s a huge concern.”
Full-Blown Reflection
I just have to break out laughing over that last paragraph.
She wants to lecture the voters about a rebuilding the party on Republican values?
She lied to her base, she betrayed the party's values, and she cheated on her husband with at least two different men. Would someone please tell me how Kissing Kristin's disgraceful behavior would have helped build the party?
Then she goes off on the "infighting" in the state party. Who's the cause for all of this upset?
She blames all of us grassroots activists, "voice" that at are more interested in infighting, right? Hey, I would love to have a statewide party that fought for its values and stopped caving to third-house prodding and special interest bribery. I would like to see leadership that took stronger stances against Democratic dominance and refused to jump into bed with tax-hiking, rights-depriving regressives in Sacramento.
And yet the very Republicans whom we send up to Sacramento continue to betray the votes, they co=ntinue to vote for their own convenient self-interest while undermining the public interest, and they bankrupt us in the process.
Cheating Chad Mayes and Kissing Kristin, along with Marital Trouble Marc Steinorth all pledged that "California Deserves Better". They must have met that California lawmakers deserve better, and the rest of us are expected to pay for it.
That's not acceptable, and it's time that we hold the people accountable for this perverse disregard for our rights and our needs--and the people who have fostered the infighting.
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.
