Brady Violation Complaint Against Huntington Park Police Department Officers

Cosme the Clown

To Chief of Police Cosme Lozano:

My name is Arthur Schaper, a resident of Torrance, CA and an active member of We the People Rising, LA County for Trump, and American Children First.
I am filing this formal complaint against the following police officers of the Huntington Park Police Department.

1. Yourself, Chief of Police Cosme Lozano
2. Lieutenant Alfred Martinez Badge #: 5529
3. Sergeant Joseph Settles, Badge #:5200

Alfred "Full Capacity" Martinez

1. On June 6th, 2017, Lieutenant Alfred Martinez informed a large crowd of individuals who wanted to attend the city council meeting that the city council chambers was “at full capacity”, meaning that there was no room for any more people to sit in the city council chambers.

Statements from individuals inside the chambers informed me and others by text as well as with photos that there were indeed more chairs available. The Lieutenant clearly misled the citizens in the lobby. Such dishonesty must be confronted and censured.

2. During the same meeting, I was wrongly ruled out of order due to the unfounded allegations of Sergeant Joseph Settles, who had alleged that I was disrupting the city council meeting in session at that time.

The mayor, Marilyn Sanabria, followed your suggestion to issue me a first warning.

Another member of the audience—Tlaleac Oceotl--called out to the mayor, saying that I had already received a warning, which would make Chief Lozano and Settles’ warning my second warning—even though I had not received any warning at the time.

The mayor then ordered my removal from the city council chambers. For the record, neither you, nor Sergeant Settles, nor Mayor Sanabria ruled Tlaleac him out of order for the numerous times he was shouting out, especially when he was telling me to shut up. Furthermore, I had spoken to two police agents at the back of the room that two people behind me were cursing at me and shining a light in my eyes, but your officers did nothing about it.

I refused to leave the room because every citizen has a right to attend public meetings per the Ralph M. Brown Act, and no citizen is required to give up his First Amendment rights due to unjust, unlawful orders from police officers. The members of my group and other activists have routinely disobeyed unjust orders from Huntington Park police officers in the chambers, which have included demanding that we lower or remove signs, or that we sit down when more than one of our members has stood at the podium during public comment.

Sergeant Settles ordered me to leave, then surrounded me with other officers, trying to pressure me to leave. Then I was unjustly placed under arrest, subjected to a demeaning search, placed in hold in the Huntington Park jail cell for two hours, then released.

At no time did I receive a booking number of a bracelet. From police sources, I find this practice highly questionable. It’s as though the police department had no interest in filing a police report or seeking charges against me from the DA’s office, since the common practice in police departments is to provide both and then send charges to the DA.

Sergeant Joseph Settles -- the Clown

To add insult to this unjust injury, the negligent Police Department refused to file the paperwork with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office, even though I was ordered to appear in court on September 6, 2017.

This is clearly a negligent, abusive tactic, as I appeared at the Downey, CA Court house in a timely manner on the assigned court date, only to find that my name was not listed on the Criminal Court Calendar.

These abusive behaviors warrant redress, censure, and consequences:

1. The unfounded allegations for me to be ruled out of order during the June 6th, 2017 city council meeting
2. My unfounded arrest and incarceration
3. The illegal seizure of my cellphone
4. The noncompliance of the police department to file charges against me to the LA County DA’s Office
5. The violation of my civil rights, including the attempt to prevent me and others from attending the June 6th, 2017 City council meeting, then the assault on my First Amendment right to petition my government for a redress of grievances.

All of these actions are the results of the unethical behaviors and choices of the Huntington Park Police Department, particularly the three police officers listed above.

For these reasons, I am seeking a Brady Violation strike against all three.

Respectfully submitted:

Arthur Schaper

Trump Supporter: Observations on Kate Steinle Trial

Dear Friends,

The Steinle murder trial verdict has been a very big shock for me and I know it has been to many activists, and perhaps it was for you also.

I'm wondering if the verdict wasn't a shock for those that are highly seasoned political watchers who better understand life and attitudes in the San Francisco area.

From what I have gathered in the news, it seems, the Steinle family was  actually a bit lukewarm on ending sanctuary cities and building a southern border wall. 

 

The Steinle family has a right to their views, and I truly appreciate that everyone needs to deal with the death / murder of a family member in their own way.  

Perhaps the Steinle family didn't appreciate being thrusted into this national debate of sanctuary cities and illegal immigration, but unfortunately bad luck chose them.

I didn't follow the Steinle family closely, but since I follow immigration news closely I have grazed upon some of  their statements.

Reported in this SF Chronicle article: http://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/article/Exclusive-Kate-Steinle-s-family-speaks-12396710.php

The Steinles have a decidedly nuanced view on sanctuary cities. They support the concept (of sanctuary law) as a way to encourage immigrants, regardless of legal status, to come forward as victims or witnesses to crimes without fear of deportation. Yet they believe San Francisco went too far when then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi effectively ordered his department to cut off communication with federal immigration authorities.

Earlier in 2015 Kate's Brother Brad gave an interview, stating that Donald Trump was "sensationalizing sister's death", and that:  "Steinle called Trump's immigration policies -- which include building a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, "not rational" and "not common sense."

http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/14/politics/donald-trump-kate-steinle-san-francisco/index.html

I really don't want to criticize the Steinle family, they didn't choose their life to follow this course.  Perhaps they were once enthusiastic liberal Democrats who had little to no interest in the topic of illegal immigration, and now because of what has happened their view's on illegal immigration are a bit more "nuanced".  

Everyone has a right to handle personal tragedy in their own way, and I respect that.

I am still angered by the Jury's decision, but I am comforted by the fact that their decision will wake many people up, and this will ultimately strengthen our cause.

Regards,

Greg Aprahamian

ThinkProgress Fail: Smears Republican Congressional Candidate Over Social Media Profile

Edwin Duterte is running for Congress in California's 43rd Congressional District.

He is not my choice to replace Maxine Waters. Omar Navarro is, and he has already raised considerable sums of money. He has also received high-profile endorsements from Sheriff Joe Arpaio to Barry Goldwater Jr, Herman Cain, and Joy Villa.

I do not care for the tactics which Edwin Duterte has used, according to reports which I have received. He leaked information about a spurious arrest and conviction against Omar Navarro to the local press, which had the opposite effect of boosting Omar's profile.

So, with all of that said ...

I know for a fact that Edwin is no racist. He has reached out to and worked with men and women of all backgrounds.

He is Filipino himself!

I have spoken with him and he has invited people of different backgrounds to speak at the South Bay Republican Assembly when he served as its President.

So, when I found this article on ThinkProgress attempting to smear him, I laughed out loud!

Republican challenging Maxine Waters is using a whitesupremacist platform to promote his campaign

What is going on here?

The social media site that ThinkProgress is smearing is "Gab".

This site is truly dedicated to Freedom of Speech and wants to stop the arbitrary silencing of different voices and eclectic views. Facebook, Twitter, and Google are engaging in a systematic crackdown on differences of opinion and freedom of speech, and Gab has emerged as a clear alternative to permit a true concourse and discussion of ideas.

We need this! America was founded on freedom, including freedom of speech!

Why would ThinkProgress want to smear freedom?

Why would they go after Edwin Duterte for wanting to promote his campaign?

And how dare they call Gab a "White supremacist" site.

It isn't. I have encountered some viciously anti-Semitic accounts, true. But the answer to free speech is more free speech. I am not going to be bullied into silence--or into silencing others--just because of their heinous views.

Again, why does ThinkProgress play the "White supremacy" card?

Gab launched in 2016 and describes itself as an “ad-free social network for creators who believe in free speech, individual liberty, and the free flow of information online.” While it may not explicitly side with the political right, its green frog logo closely resembles the Pepe the Frog meme that was popularized by members of the white nationalist movement that calls itself the “alt-right.”

More distortions.

"Alt-right" is a left-wing movement, hence they are "alternative" right.

Second, Pepe the Frog has been popularized by men and women of all backgrounds. If white supremacists wanted to turn Mickey Mouse into a symbol of Nazism and hate, would Disney have to disavow Mickey Mouse?

This race card crap needs to be taken down a notch. ThinkProgress does not think, and they are not making any progress toward making this country great again for all.

Do they really think that a Filipino-American is a white nationalist or a white supremacist? I would find it very difficult for anyone to take these websites seriously. 

In fact, Duterte made it very clear about his egalitarian views, which are distinctly American anyway:

Though Duterte does not make explicit, incendiary comments about race himself, he engages with other Gab users who do not hold back their white nationalist opinions. After someone with the username “TwitterSucksHillarysBalls” told Duterte “I dont want a single fkn jew in the US,” Duterte responded by saying: “I am cool with every race.”

Of course, the reporter refused to capture that post and provide it on her article, although she provided other posts about his conservative views to support President Trump, especially on immigration.

As Edwin Duterte has stated, ThinkProgress is Fake News!

I would go so far as to suggest that they are libelous!

Shame on them!

Contact the reporter, Kira Lerner, and ask her why she tried to smear Edwin Duterte as a racist, when that is completely untrue!

We the People Rising: Citizens Forced to Stop Filming at Mexican Consulate

We The People Rising http://wethepeoplerising.com EMAIL robinhvidston@wethepeoplerising.com or  rhvidston1@yahoo.com Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.

America First Delegation In Action WE THE PEOPLE RISING INSIDE OF THE SANTA ANA MEXICAN CONSULATE Forced To Stop Filming!  11/29/17 Santa Ana, CA Report by Robin Hvidston VIDEO - INSIDE OF THE SANTA ANA MEXICAN CONSULATE! After members of We The People Rising were denied entrance into Congressman Lou Correa's district office in Santa Ana to present info on the painting of the Statue of Liberty in a hijab, Mike McGetrick suggested the group head over to the nearby Santa Ana Mexican Consulate as Congressman Lou Correa "partners" with the Mexican Consulate. After initially filming inside of the consulate, a staff member demanded that the camera be turned off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZn8zt64Yy4   REP LOU CORREA & THE SANTA ANA MEXICAN CONSULATE  http://www.ocregister.com/2017/02/24/lou-correas-town-hall-in-santa-ana-offers-guidance-to-worried-immigrants/ Mexican Consul Marco Antonio Fraire, right, gets hug from Rep. Lou Correa as he is introduced at Correa's informational immigration town town hall at Santa Ana High School in Santa Ana on Thursday, February 23, 2017. (Photo by Paul Rodriguez, Orange County Register/SCNG)    MEETING WITH MEXICAN CONSUL WE THE PEOPLE RISING MEMBERS MET WITH SANTA ANA MEXICAN CONSUL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS ARTURO SANCHEZ. Shocker: during the course of the meeting, the Consul of Public Affairs Arturo Sanchez said to Mike McGetrick that he would "kick his ass." Read the report below. Above, file photo of Santa Ana Mexican Consul of Public Affairs Arturo Sanchez. The photo was taken during a Free Andrew Tahmooresi rally in front of the consulate when Consul Arturo Sanchez met with Andrew Tahmooresi's supporters. NOTE: The Santa Ana Mexican Consulate is 2 miles from Congressman Lou Correa's office. Mike McGetrick has repeatedly asked the staff of Congressman Lou Correa and the congressman himself why he invites representatives from the Mexican Consulate to be featured speakers at his pro illegal immigration town hall.  Congressman Lou Correa and his staff never answer Mike's question. We The People Rising members were locked out of the district office when they attempted to hand deliver information on the painting of the Statue of Liberty in a hijab to Congressman Lou Correa. So Mike encouraged the group to visit the nearby Santa Ana Mexican Consulate. Upon entering, Robin Hvidston was filming inside of the consulate but was forced to turn off the camera after a several minutes of recording. So there is no video of the meeting with Santa Ana Mexican Consul of Public Affairs Arturo Sanchez. Consul Arthuro Sanchez met with the group in an office that seemed to be some sort of storage room. Vaughn Becht, Raul Rodriguez, Mike McGetrick, Deann D'Lean and Robin Hvidston were present at the meeting. Mike McGetrick asked him if the Mexican Consulate staff members meet with Congressman Lou Correa and he answered, "Yes, as we meet with many elected officials."  Mike asked for specifics about the meetings and as to why the Mexican Consulate is always represented at Congressman Lou Correa's town halls. He replied because they are invited. Mike asked the consul if the reports his activities to the Department of Justice, and he replied that he does and also reports his activities to the U.S. State Department. When he was asked why the consulate encourages illegal immigration, he claimed that the Mexican Consulate encourages the following the of U.S. laws. He claimed they serve Mexican nationals by providing appropriate documents. Mike talked about how he is fed up with illegals changing neighborhoods in Orange County. And he told the consul multiple times that the consulate should not be catering to and helping illegals. The consul claimed that when Mexican nationals enter the consulate, they do not check their legal status. Mike said he did not believe that was a truthful statement and that the consulate is facilitating illegal immigration. The debate became somewhat more heated as Vaughn Becht and Raul Rodriguez also were questioning the consul. The conversation became very animated when Mike said to consul, "Can I have you kicked out of my country?" The Consul replied, "No, but I'll kick your ass!" WHAT? The group was stunned by this outburst and a threat leveled by a diplomat to a U.S. citizen. And the group made issue of the threat. But the consul remained steadfast and did not walk back the statement. The conversation continued for several more minutes as the members of  We The People Rising expressed strong opposition to the Mexican Consulate meddling in U.S. politics and supporting illegal immigration. The consul escorted the group out of the office and they left without further incident. NOTE: The consul claimed that they do not encourage illegal immigration. Yet read one of the many articles about how the Santa Ana Mexican Consulate plans to help illegals fight deportation by providing legal services. http://www.ocregister.com/2017/03/06/mexican-consulate-in-santa-ana-launches-center-for-legal-defense/ FOLLOW UP ACTION A report about the meeting at the Santa Ana Mexican Consulate will be forwarded to the U.S. State Department and a copy will be sent to the U.S. Department of Justice and President Trump.   Santa Ana Mexican Consulate https://consulmex.sre.gob.mx/santaana/

WINNING: Banned Twice on Facebook

Freedom of speech!

Freedom of speech, whether you like me or not! Whether you like what I say or not! I will not be silenced, and neither should anyone else who wants to speak or be heard!

I am not afraid!

The Left has tried very hard to silence people with shame and derision. That is no longer working, so they have resorted to silencing people through force.

The Social Media Tycoons out of Silicon Valley are resorting to fascist measures to silence, smear, and stamp out dissenting views on their media platforms.

It's wrong, and we need to stand up to it.

So, guess what?

I opened up a second Facebook account because I kept getting discriminately banned on my primary Facebook account.

Arthur Christopher Trump

I received only one "violation" for a post, and that was it up to now.

Then all of a sudden, on Thursday, November 30, 2017 -- I get a message all of a sudden stating that I had violated Facebook rules -- not sure which ones or what I did -- and then I was blocked.

I put in key credentials to confirm my identity, and I got a brief message that I would be blocked from the account for 20 days.

HUH? What did I do?

Here's the caption:

Really? What did I do?

NOTHING!

People all around have been very supportive of everything that I am doing. I have reporters and independent citizen-activists who have been telling me that I am having a strong impact, and for that reason these social media tools keep shutting me down.

By the way ...

I tried to open up a third Facebook account, and I used my middle name and last name -- Chris Schaper -- and within two hours I was shut down AGAIN!

Incredible!

It's not working, people. It's not working!

Is the Target on Manhattan Beach, CA in Trouble?

For the past two weeks, I have seen two conspicuous billboards along Rosecrans Ave in Hawthorne, just before arriving at Inglewood Ave.

Then along Inglewood Ave, just before arriving at the 405 Freeway, I see the same billboard, placed there by Target. promoting a remodeled store in Manhattan Beach.

No doubt, the franchise is promoting this store in a high-income area along major thoroughfares and freeways. They don't want this store to sink into closure.

But is it having a hard time raking in the revenue?

Lots of Target stores are remodeling.

The OC Register reports:

The overhaul in Orange is part of a $7 billion turnaround plan announced by Target earlier this year to attract shoppers whisked away by the convenience of Amazon and the extreme discounts of Walmart. By 2020, Target plans to remodel 1,000 stores for shoppers looking for trendy but value-oriented merchandise.

Of course, there's no mention of why the sales have plummeted over the last two years.

How about the fact that they Target stores thought it was a good idea to allow men to use women's fitting rooms and bathrooms because they wanted to go all in for "inclusivity", including their embrace of transgenderism as some kind of civil right, instead of recognizing it as a mental disorder.

The Target stock have not improved that much since this remodeling took place:

The stock was hovering near $77 a share, and now it's cracking $60.

There's no longer any talk about welcoming men who think that they are women to go into the Target stores.

But is all this "remodeling" talk really about scaling down?

Breitbart reports:

Retail giant Target has been struggling for well over a year since its decision to allow transgender men to use bathrooms and changing rooms designated for women. Now, the chain is closing a dozen stores as part of an effort to retool its stores in smaller spaces.

The press seems more intent on showing that the stores are doing well, and the Christmas Season has emerged with the Target stores doing better.

But do they still follow their transgender policy? The Target Store in Hawthorne had told me that they do not comply with that policy. The store on Sepulveda Blvd told another customer that they will not allow biological men to use women's restrooms or fitting rooms, either.

OK ... but has this transgender policy been officially reversed by the corporate leaders in Minnesota?

The fact that the company has still maintained its SJW stance is part of the reason why people are not shopping there anymore.

It may also explain why Manhattan Beach and many other "troubled" Target stores are remodeling all over the country. This is their last chance, and if they can't get the sales up, then we can expect their aggressive, offensive push into transgenderism virtue-signaling to fail big time.

Media Fail Continues: Hailey Branson Calls Steinle's Illegal Alien Murderer "Immigrant"

Would someone please explain to me why the media go to great lengths to cover for and make nice with illegal aliens, even when they kill American citizens on our own soil?

Hailey Branson has already exposed herself as a friend of anti-Semitic journalist Helen Thomas.

Now she wants to diminish the term "immigrant" to include those who have broken into the United States and killed an American citizen in a sanctuary city:

Once again, is it any wonder that I did not trust her to report the truth?

Media Fail: LA Times Report Branson Dishonest About Huntington Park Lawsuit

The Los Angeles Times has printed the article about my arrest--and now my lawsuit--against the city of Huntington Park for false arrest and violation of my civil rights.

I had contacted Hailey Branson to report on this, but then I realized "Should I give her a second chance when she tried to smear me the last time."

Here's the report, and he are the facts:

Conservative activist arrested at City Council meeting sues Huntington Park, accusing city of trolling him

Arthur Christopher Schaper sat in the back of the Huntington Park City Council chambers, wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap and a Donald Trump flag around his shoulders like a cape.

The council warned him he was disrupting the June meeting. Police officers asked him to leave. He refused, likening himself to Rosa Parks.

No they didn't. It was Cosme Lozano who had suggested that I be ruled out of order following Joseph Settles' statement to me not to disrupt the meeting.

But I was not disrupting the meeting at all. What's going on here? Why didn't the Los Angeles Times include the videos I had uploaded? Strange.

Schaper was arrested on suspicion of two misdemeanor counts of disturbing a public meeting and disobeying a police officer, according to the Huntington Park Police Department.

Further down in the article, you will find that one of the Lieutenants refuses to release the information to the reporter. Another lieutenant ended up releasing this information.

Now, more than five months later, Schaper has sued the city of Huntington Park, claiming he was wrongfully arrested and that the city trolled him with "false notices" to appear in court when the case had not yet been presented by police to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.

"Troll"? I didn't use that word. What is she talking about?

Here's an urban dictionary definition:

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community 

The Police Department is not trolling me, since their decision not to file a case with the district attorney's office is not a mater of exchange on the Internet.

Schaper, who was profiled by The Times three days before his arrest, is a familiar, confrontational — and, some say, racist — presence at Huntington Park council meetings, where he rails against "illegal aliens," and heckles for his Facebook Live audience. Police officers who attend the meetings are so familiar with him that they call him by his first name.

"Racist". Who are the people who say this? Did the LA Times even bother to follow up on these remarks? She had profiled me in May, and she noticed that with one of the groups I interact with, there are men and women of different ethnic backgrounds. I still don't understand why she can print something like that without any proof of it. 

"Illegal aliens" are indeed sitting on two city commissions. They are in the country illegally, and they have no legal right to reside in the country. They are aliens, as that term is appropriate.

On June 6, Schaper and a cadre of anti-illegal immigration activists loudly laughed through the public comments of a man who told the council that Schaper was a white supremacist.

Huh?

Members of the City Council warned Schaper twice that he was disrupting the meeting before asking police to escort him out.

No they didn't. That is a total lie. The videos I have submitted and uploaded all detail this information.

"You have to leave or we're going to take you to jail," a Huntington Park police officer told him. "I don't want to do that if we don't have to. This isn't worth going to jail for."

"They said the same thing to Rosa Parks," Schaper said, just before he was arrested.

He or she was arrested? I am confused.

I don't see why there is a problem here, mentioning a civil rights activist who refused to give up her seat on a bus. I refused to leave the city council chambers because they had no right to arrest me. I was not disrupting the meeting.

Schaper, the president of the Beach Cities Republicans club, wrote on his blog that he sat in jail for two hours and was released with a citation and notice to appear at a Downey courthouse three months later.

I am no longer the President of the Beach Cities Republicans. How could she not get that right?

On Sept. 6, he wrote, he showed up, but his name was not listed on a court calendar. A proof of appearance document from the court, which he posted, said no case had yet been filed.

"I was astounded that the Huntington Park police department couldn't bother to file anything with the District Attorney's office in the last three months. Would it really have taken them that long?" he wrote.

He was rescheduled to appear Oct. 23. The same thing happened. His court date has since been rescheduled two more times.

Misdemeanor charges must be filed within one year of an arrest, said Ricardo Santiago, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office. As of Thursday, no charges had been filed.

Santiago said police presented a case to the district attorney's office, which will decide whether to pursue charges, on Nov. 22.

Really?! That's news to me!

That was the same day Schaper sued the city for $10,000 in small claims court, records show. He claimed a "gross violation of civil rights" and said "city police harass plaintiff with false notices to appear in court."

Schaper reached out separately to two Times reporters about the case this week. Before a reporter could discuss it with him, he declined further comment, citing his displeasure with The Times' profile of him.

I declined further comment to Hailey, since she had tried to do a smear piece against me in the June article. I see no reason to give bad reporters a second chance. It just rewards bad behavior.

I have further reason not to communicate with her, since she thinks of the deceased reporter Helen Thomas as a mentor, when she was a rabid anti-Semite who thinks that the Jews "should get the hell out of Palestine" and called the state of Israel an "occupation".

Huntington Park Police Lt. Patrick Kraut, who is handling the case, refused to discuss the arrest or name the suspected charges on which Schaper was arrested. Local law enforcement agencies are required by the California Public Records Act to provide the charges on which a person is held and factual circumstances surrounding an arrest.

Kraut told a Times reporter that Schaper "has a copy of the citation" and that she should get it from him.

At this point, if this record is true, I have a lot of respect for Kraut. He is handling the case, is he not? Of course he is not allowed to discuss the case! I even saw him at the Huntington Park police department three days ago when I provided evidence in a case against John Turano, aka Gay Cuck Spartan, who had hit me on the hand and has twice threatened me with violence.

Lt. Al Martinez, a spokesman for the department, later provided the two misdemeanor charges on which Schaper was held.

"Full capacity" Alfred Martinez told Hailey whats going on, the same Lieutenant who lied to an entire group of people about

Laurie Levenson, a former federal prosecutor who now is a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said it's hard to say if the police would keep refusing to present a case out of spite or if the "inefficiency" of an overburdened court system was to blame.

How could she not know? I mean, the "evidence" was already presented within two hours. I have a clear record of 

"If there's bad blood between them, you would hope [police] would pay attention so they don't make mistakes," she said. "If they are just hassling him, that would be totally inappropriate."

They are hassling me, and it is inappropriate.

Still, with the "enormous volume of misdemeanor and infraction cases" that regularly cause delays in local courts, Schaper's alleged crime, Levenson said, "is not one that would be the highest priority, even though you think he's constantly on their minds."

This is a nonsense argument. It does not take long for a police officer to submit a criminal package to the DA's office.

Reflection

I would like to know why the Los Angeles Times refused to include the videos I had taken for the Huntington Park Chief of Police refusing to answer my questions about not filing the paperwork with the DA's office.

I would also like to know why the LA Times reporter Hailey Branson looks up to an anti-Semite like Helen Thomas--who is now deceased--as a welcome figure of support and comfort.

The race card has become so overplayed, and yet who are the racists by and large? We find so much of it on the Left.

Vermont GOP: Governor's Commitment to Vermont Taxpayers

STATEMENT ON TAXES & FEES FROM THE GOVERNOR:
My top three priorities are growing the economy, making Vermont more affordable, and protecting the most vulnerable. Last year I insisted on a budget that did not raise a single tax or fee – for the first time in many years. Today, as understandable concerns around property taxes continue to grow, I wanted to confirm for Vermonters that ***my Administration is absolutely committed to preventing taxes and fees from increasing again this year, so families can keep more of what they earn***. This includes property taxes. Reports suggesting otherwise are incorrect. My Administration will not support putting more of a burden on already over-taxed Vermonters because we know that is not how to make Vermont more affordable for families and businesses.

The cost of state government, and the per pupil cost of education, should not grow faster than wages and underlying economic growth. That’s how we can ensure we’re helping families be more economically secure, move up the economic ladder and save for the future. If the costs of state government are rising faster than wages and economic growth Montpelier is, in effect, pushing people down the economic ladder. That is not acceptable to me, or to an overwhelming majority of Vermonters. That’s why, to be clear, my Administration is committed to preventing taxes and fees from increasing again this year, including property taxes.

LA Times Reporter on Mentor Anti-Semite Helen Thomas: "I Am Not Going to Comment on This"

Now this is really strange.

I not only found Hailey Branson's picture with anti-Semite Helen Thomas, but she even spoke at her memorial service.

Check out the speech below:

This is really disturbing to me, and further reveals the deep bias in our media.

They stood around and celebrated this lady, the same lady who had shouted "The Jews should get the hell out of Palestine."

Those remarks were enough to force her into retirement.

Branson remarks in her speech: "She was everything I wanted to be."

Does that include hatred of Israel? A belief that Jewish people should not live in their homeland in the Middle East?

A reporter is supposed to detail the facts, but I have found that she attacks me and smears me in parts while writing the truth of the accounts in other reports. This hit-and-miss journalism is bad enough.

But she looked up to Helen Thomas as a hero?

This is really unfortunate.

I wrote her twice for a response on this, but she has not gotten back to me.

I called her directly, and she declared "I am not going to comment on this."

She doesn't like being under scrutiny herself?

This is pretty serious. I am a vocal supporter of the state of Israel, and it was a good day when Anti-Semite Helen Thomas was forced to step down following her hateful remarks. I also learned that she received an award from the Palestinian Liberation Organization for journalism.

WHAT?!

This is untenable, and simply cannot be supported.

I am urging everyone to contact the Los Angeles Times and demand answers. Why have they hired a reporter who allies herself with a rabid anti-Semite like Helen Thomas? Does the newspaper as a whole share similar views about Israel and Jews?
