Supervisor McKay of Fairfax County Responds: "I Trust the Sheriff"
This morning, I received a disappointing, abortive response letter from Supervisor Jeffrey McKay of Fairfax County, Virginia.
This is unbelievable:

Subject: RE: Fairfax County Board of Supervisors: You Must Reinstate the 287(g) Program in the County Jail System
Arthur – Thanks for reaching out to me with your concerns about the Sheriff’s decision to terminate the Intergovernmental Service Agreement (IGSA) with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
It’s important to note that the Board of Supervisors is not a party of the agreement, and thus has no legal ability to join or terminate the IGSA. That responsibility falls completely to the Sheriff.
Sheriff Kincaid has informed me that termination of this agreement aligns Fairfax County with more than 99 percent of sheriffs in the Commonwealth of Virginia; 122 of the state’s 123 county and city sheriffs do not have an IGSA. These jurisdictions have not reported an elevated safety risk from releasing inmates on the date the court said they should be released.
Moreover, the Sheriff’s Intelligence Unit, which actively investigates inmates who may be part of gangs, will be unaffected by this change. This unit will still share crucial information about suspects and inmates with all appropriate law enforcement agencies. Please know that when inmates are convicted and sentenced for serious crimes – such as rape, robbery and murder – they are not released to the street. The Virginia Department of Corrections (DOC) takes custody of these inmates to serve their sentence in a state prison. If the inmate is wanted by ICE, agents will pick up the inmate from the DOC once the full sentence has been served.
I have full faith and confidence in Sheriff Kincaid and am certain no decision she makes will endanger or harm our community.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey C. McKay
Lee District Supervisor
We need to ensure that federal law enforcement receives every tool possible to thwart illegal aliens in any community, including Virginia. This kind of hands-off approach is outrageous.
Just because other jails have not set up a similar program is not an excuse for them to discontinue their own.
For those unfamiliar with the 287(g) program, here's the description from the ICE Website:
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 added Section 287(g), performance of immigration officer functions by state officers and employees, to the Immigration and Nationality Act. This authorizes the Director of ICE to enter into agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies, permitting designated officers to perform immigration law enforcement functions, provided that the local law enforcement officers receive appropriate training and function under the supervision of ICE officers.
Why would any jail system want to end this necessary cooperation?
Contact Supervisor McKay's office immediately, and tell him to support ICE, immigration enforcement, and to demand that Fairfax County Sheriff Kincaid renew the 287(g) program.

Our office is open 8AM-5PM Monday - Friday

Open Letter to Fairfax County, VA Board of Supervisors: Keep ICE in the County Jails
My name is Arthur Schaper, a proud American citizen who is deeply troubled by the causes and consequences of illegal immigration in our country.
As you know, Fairfax County is the most populous county in the Commonwealth of Virginia and is situated very close to the seat of our National Government, Washington DC. I have visited your fair county at least three times in my life, and Iam appalled to see the ruinous condition in which it has fallen. The roads are constantly jammed with heavy traffic. The city streets are run-down. Residents in your country have shared with me the exacting toll of illegal immigration on housing and quality of life issues.
But the worst part of what has happened to Fairfax County? Illegal aliens are invading the cities and suburbs, putting innocent lives at risk. One father shared with me that MS-13 gangs have invaded the local schools and killing Virginia youth.
The latest murder is beyond horrifying.
Matthew Brian Ortega was a real dreamer, an American dreamer, murdered by an 18-year old MS-13 thug. Our political class has referred to such monsters as "dreamers" and eligible for DACA and other government-funded subsidies. I call them "Nightmares", and Fairfax County, VA will be overrun with these nightmares if the county jail system stops working with ICE in allowing the federal immigration authorities to partner with and operate within the jails.
Sheriff Kincaid should be ashamed of herself for even suggesting that she would allow the 287(g) program to lapse. This dereliction of duty is unconstitutional and unconscionable. Like each of you, the Sheriff of Fairfax County took an oath to uphold and defend the United States Constitution.
She is duty bound to recognize the primacy of the federal government in enforcement of immigration laws (Article I, Section 8), and to assist the federal government in protect the several states from foreign invasion (Article IV, Section 4). Furthermore, the United States Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land (Article VI, Section 2).
Each of you must maintain cooperation with federal immigration officials to protect Fairfax, Virginia citizens and the surrounding states as well as the country.
Reinstate the 287(g) program immediately.
Sincerely,
Arthur Schaper

CAGOP Convention Aftermath: Big Loss for RPLAC RINO Andy GimmeKandy
Andy Gharakani, aka GimmieKandi, was pushing an attorney general candidate up to the CAGOP Convention.
Sure, retired LA County District Attorney Steve Cooley supported Eric Early, but then a bombshell dropped for the Convention delegates, thanks to California Political Review Editor Steve Frank:
STEPHEN FRANK
For me, the biggest problem was Gharakani. He has lots of money, but very little morals. He makes all the other RPLAC Central Committee members do whatever he wants, including Richard "Where Are You?" Sherman, along with Janice Webb, who has called people's work to pressure individual political activities.
Let's not forget Gary SCAM-inoff, but I digress.
From early 2017, I was supporting Retired Judge Stephen Bailey, who lives in Northern California, where so much of the political rebellion is breaking out. Before Los Alamitos, northern counties had already opted out of SB 54. The Sheriff of El Dorado County was emphatic: "I will not comply with the Sanctuary State Law".
For me, there is a lot to hope for from Judge Bailey. He has been running a grassroots campaign--and he doesn't donate to Democratic candidates. He has constitutional legal training, too.
So ... Bailey won the endorsement of the California Republican Party!
Of course ... Andy doesn't seem interested in talking to anyone ...
Now he's gone into hiding!

The California Republican Party convention is about to start. For me, I have been very quiet about the convention and the June primary. But today I found out something VERY disturbing about one of the candidates wanting our endorsement on Sunday, Eric Early, running for Attorney General. I have endorsed Judge Steven Bailey, but not been involved in his or any of the Statewide races—just involved in local races around the State. This is what I found out:
8/10/10 Eric Early donated $100 to Dave Jones for Insurance Commissioner
7/22/14 Eric Early donated $500 to Dave Jones for Insurance Commissioner
In 2018 Dave Jones is running for Attorney General—If Early and Jones are on the ballot, who will Early support?
3/12/09 Eric Early donated $500 to Jerry Brown
3/10/10 Eric Early donated $500 to Jerry Brown
3/11/10 Eric Early donated $1,000 to Jerry Brown
5/24/10 Eric Early donated $500 to Jerry Brown
While we were working hard to defeat Jerry Brown, Eric Early was an early donor to him.
Congressman Brad Sherman WROTE the articles of Impeachment against President Trump---Eric Early has donated $4840 to Brad Sherman
Eric Early Donated $1,500 to Open-Borders Liberal Democrat Rep. Brad Sherman as recently as 2016.
10/28/2010 – $240 10/28/2010 – $100 10/30/2010 – $500 3/21/2012 – $1500
10/28/2010 – $240 10/28/2010 – $100 10/30/2010 – $500 3/21/2012 – $1500
Grand Total? $4,840
He gave money to DEFEAT Senator Ted Cruz in the Texas primary: Early doesn't just donate to liberal Democrats either." . As recently as September 2017, Eric Early inexplicably donated $500 to Stefano de Stefano, a quixotic Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas who ran to Senator Ted Cruz’s far left.
He also donated to get the U.S. Senate to be Democrat controlled:
On 9/27/2011 Early donated $250 to Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth, a progressive hero who is now a US Senator from Illinois voting against President Trump 100% of the time.
On 6/5/2012 Eric Early donated $300 to Senator John Tester.
On 9/28/2014 Eric Early donated $500 twice to Extreme Left-Wing Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley.
With Eric Early money talks. It tells us as delegates where he stands. His actions speak so loud, I can not hear a word he says.
Thought you should know before the Sunday vote.

We need more conservatives to organize as they have never done before and start making Los Angeles County Republican again, just as we need to work to Make California Great Again!
Big Spender John Cox Could not Buy Party Endorsement
There is a bright side, even to minor setbacks.
John Cox, the Chicago-Machine style politician who has never won a race for public office, who lied about Travis Allen's record on life, could not buy the endorsement of the California Republican Party this morning.
It's too bad, though, that the state party has this clear fracture, but so does the Democratic Party. In fact, the endorsement process was so fraught for the California Democrats, that for many of the Democratic Party incumbents, they could not get the endorsement, which includes Dianne Feinstein, Xavier Becerra, and even Gavin Newsom, the supposedly progressive favorite to win governor among all the Democrats.
This is pretty distressing for the left, but can the conservative and no-longer silent majority raise enough heaven to have an impact going forward?
That's what Travis Allen is calling for:

Letter to the Editor: "I could only hope for the decline and fall of teachers unions"
I worked for 43 years for the Los Angeles Unified School
District. I could only hope for the decline and fall of teachers unions. How
employee’s with tenure (a guaranteed job for life) needs further protection
with a union is hard to accept. Between elected Board Members, complicit with
teachers unions, and activist teachers, there’s an incestuous relationship.
Board Members only get elected with support from teachers unions and teachers
get unfair benefits from those Board Members. And the benefit to taxpayers is
ignored while the taxpayer is being fleeced by the teachers union demands.

Washington State GOP: Jobless in Seattle
I follow other state Republican parties around the country, in addition to receiving emails and updates from the California GOP.
It is astounding what blue state GOP organizations must face just to get by. In Washington State, Republicans held a slim majority in the state senate. Then one seat opened up, and the candidate running to replace the retiring incumbent ran away from Trump and tried to make up for the Trump-Clinton deficit which had swept the state senate district in 2016.
The state party is fighting as hard as they can, in spite of these losses. The previous chairman was hoping that a Trump victory in the Evergreen State would give a boost for the down ticket. Trump would bring back the timber industry to a state where regressive leftists along the coastline had ruined everyone else's lives.
Now Seattle is doubling down on their socialist, redistributionist agenda, pushing another set of ridiculous tax increases.
Could it be worse? It could come to California, that's for sure. Californians are starting to push back against Sacramento insanity. Is there enough pushback in Seattle and throughout Washington State to put a stop to the tax-and-spendthrift insanity.
