On a day when the lead story in America’s No. 1 newspaper is bathrooms for transgenders, it cannot be surprising that sanctuary cities – an outlier not long ago — are gaining acceptance. A Harvard poll released yesterday asserted that a whopping 80 percent of Americans oppose sanctuary cities. Yet the concept is coming to cities near many, including Culver … Read More
Is Obama at Bottom of Voters’ Fake Protests?
Image: Freaking News
Are the tightly organized hordes of “protestors” suddenly emerging this month at Republican town halls schooled professionals or valid hometowners? With the GOP controlling the leadership in a majority of states, plus owning majorities in both houses of Congress and the White House, does it make sense that Republican voters would be storming the gates? Isn’t it wildly illogical that … Read More
Cooper’s Support Has Limits
Mr. Cooper
It is almost a 100 percent certainty that Culver City officially will become a sanctuary city next month even though the mayor and vice mayor are cool to the proposal. “It is symbolism more than anything,” says Vice Mayor Jeff Cooper, echoing the sentiments of Mayor Jim Clarke. He indicated he will be a “yes” vote at the March 27 … Read More
Small’s Intellectual Approach to Sanctuary Cities
Thomas Small
First in a series. Ten months after winning elective office on his first try, City Councilman Thomas Small has shot to the top tier of thoughtful, reflective hometown politicians in Southern California.

Student Victim of OCC Liberals Needs Help
Mr. O'Neil
By contrast with the overwhelming dominance of liberal newspapers, the courageous Orange County Register is asking readers to organize and fight back against recent misbehavior by left-wing bigots at Orange Coast College.

Sanctuary or No, Policy Won’t Change — Clarke
Mr. Clarke
Third in a series. Re: “The Law Comes First for Clarke” He is polite as usual and sensitive, too, but Mayor Jim Clarke is having a difficult time agreeing to officially, in headline style, brand Culver City as a sanctuary city. A group is pounding drums to formally crown the community a sanctuary city that will ignore the law in … Read More
How Swede It Is: Libbies Fib Again
Mr. Baker
If The New York Times or the Los Angeles Times reports that today should be Wednesday instead of Tuesday, kindly correct your calendars. Avoid an argument with the left-wing hate journalists. Over the weekend, you may have heard, President Trump lightly commented, in an almost-aside, that Sweden is among countries suffering a crime uptick since taking in an avalanche of … Read More
We Are No. 2, We Are No. 2 – L.A. Democrat Losers
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt Photo: AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster
Burned-Out Sanders, who has scored fewer victories in the last 20 years than a man who died 30 years ago, crawled back into Los Angeles over the weekend to address the Democrat Losers Convention. After finishing third in a two-person race with an elderly woman who cheated the government, Burned-Out has limped back onto the campaign trail, buttressed by decades … Read More
Trump Can’t Defund Us, Can He?
Mr. Elias
President Trump often threatens to withhold federal grants from California cities, universities and the state itself unless they accept policies he wants to pursue, from large-scale deportation of undocumented immigrants to bashing the heads of campus protestors. “California is in many ways out of control,” he said in a recent interview. Out of his control, he seemed to mean. Asked … Read More
Denzel Hits the Ball Over the ‘Fences’
Denzel Washington and Viola Davis
A token of friendly advice: Do yourself a favor one evening this week. See the excellent Academy-nominated Denzel Washington film “Fences” ahead of Sunday night’s Academy Awards. Best movie I have seen since “High Noon” in 1953. Fences, from August Wilson’s stage production of the same name, is a piercing portrait of the real-life struggles of a middle-class family in … Read More
