Dateline Sanctuary City – Paula Colorado must not have heard of Culver City. Actually, it would not have mattered that today she would be safer here than in any gun-slinging Mexican burg where she presently resides. At 37, Paula is an illegal alien of sorts although, heaven forfend, the reliably slanted Los Angeles Times never would call an illegal alien … Read More
Are Gays Disappearing from Hollywood?
Speeding past the rich irony of a gay organization being known by the acronym GLAAD, the media tracker for fairness to gays issued its 53rd consecutive unsurprising report last week. In the painstakingly fair, starchly objective Los Angeles Times, reporter Tre’vell Anderson wrung his hands and observed dryly: “Hollywood keeps getting it wrong when it comes to diverse and accurate … Read More
Hernandez Is Retiring
He looks and acts too young to retire. He agrees – at least when asked what he will do next, he said “I don’t really know.

Marijuana Users – Can They Relax?
Second in a series Re “Marijuana Watch: Police Aren’t Relaxing” While the Police Dept. insists it is not relaxing in its longtime watchdog role regarding illegal marijuana use, the world changed a few months ago.

Somebody Buy These Liberals a Coloring Book
The millions of paunchy, unmarried, unemployable liberals who have been protesting President Trump since Election Day are only the second-most outrageous misfits in America. Southern Californians owe a debt to www.patterico.com for exposing the true rising champion of anti-social behavior: Meet a bevy of buffoons in Portland, a town teeming with sick, sickening – dare we say colorful? — liberals. … Read More
If You Poach Off the Government…
If we can agree that most impoverished – and faux poor – Americans are uncomplicated, it is immediately clear why they became the bullseye soldiers in the army of Democrats 85 years ago. They will believe anything. Preposterousness has no limits. Ever since FDR was elected king in 1932, Democrats have been obliged to memorize: We are the saviors of … Read More
Trump Towers Where Obama Cowers
Comparative reactions in the wake of this week’s Manchester massacre by the latest Islam-driven terrorist demonstrate – again — how sharply we have upgraded American leadership by electing Donald Trump to succeed Barack Obama.

Reggie Thought Union Was the Name of His Underwear
Back in the slovenly days when he was a commoner, state Assemblyman Reginald (Lord?) Byron Jones-Sawyer was known, pedestrianly, as Reggie Jones-Sawyer. Since graduating to whoredom as a pulltoy for unions while representing southwest Los Angeles, Reggie now ties his own shoes. Nearly daily. RLBJS, as he is not known, is pushing Assembly Bill 1250, ignorant, harmful legislation. His 1250 … Read More
