Listen to a state lawmaker asking hospitals to deny healthcare access to immigration detainees. ICE had someone in custody needing medical attention. Agitators showed up, tried to mob the agents, and now complain about the disruption they caused. These obstructive tactics won't deter federal officers, they will only draw a larger response from law enforcement and increase the number of arrests.

One more: Tokyo Daishoten, Dec. 29th. Win or lose, he’s one of the all-time greats. Bravo @yahagistable
Forever Young’s mother sold for $8,000. That filly, Forever Darling by Congrats, won the Santa Ynez, went to Japan, and was bred to a grandson of Sunday Silence. This is also the family of Zenno Rob Roy and Sierra Leone. Secretariat is on both sides. American blood. Japanese horsemanship.
17 starts, on the board 16 times. $32.5 million earned. Only Romantic Warrior has earned more, mostly at home in Hong Kong. Forever Young earned almost all of his on the road.
He traveled about 80,000 miles: Japan, Riyadh, Dubai, Louisville, Del Mar, New York, Keeneland—three times around the planet. 170 horses beaten. 13,000 gallons of water drunk. 13 tons of hay and grain eaten. 150 new shoes worn.
Two Saudi Cups. A Breeders’ Cup Classic. Horse of the Year in Japan.
The next generation knows him. Over three years his name has likely hit young fans’ feeds hundreds of millions of times. You can’t buy that exposure for our business.
Yoshito Yahagi has sent out more than 10,000 starters. I don’t think he’s ever had a better one. Mr. Fujita, Ryusei Sakai, the grooms and travel crew kept him on and off planes for three years, and he ran his race nearly every time. That’s management.
He’s a credit to our sport. First-ballot Hall of Fame. A resounding yes.

I know you're new to this, but facts matter. ICE was there to get medical treatment for a detainee who requested to see a doctor. I assume you support federal agents providing medical care to illegal immigrants in custody?
These agitators created a dangerous situation for the public and law enforcement. Law enforcement will never back down to thugs, so efforts to intimidate ICE will fail. They called for backup, controlled the scene, and arrested two individuals who assaulted federal agents.
As a public official, you should know the applicable laws. Agents are enforcing federal immigration laws passed by Congress. As mayor, you have no say in federal affairs. It's called the Supremacy Clause. I can send you a copy of the U.S. Constitution if you'd like to study up.
When you talk about immigrants, please distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants. I'm the son of legal immigrants. Our family followed the law, was welcomed with open arms, and is proud to be law-abiding Americans. The two are not the same.
I've never seen a track fall off the map, as fast as Gulfstream.
Haven't looked at one of their cards in forever. 🏇

The big problem in American politics is that voters expect the government to solve their problems. Our country was founded on the principle that the people should be left alone to solve their own problems. When government is empowered to solve problems, it creates them instead.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT
THIS IS INCREDIBLY WELL-PUT, AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S WRITTEN BY A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is our separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets, since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
—We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Whoopi, Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all five of them.
--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEOs, and rednecks.
--We'll keep Bill O’Reilly and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.
--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters.
--When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have the UN., but we will no longer be paying the bill.
--We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine," "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," "Kum Baya," or "We Are the World."
--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle-up poverty your best shot.
--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name, and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P.S. Also, please take George Clooney, Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Short, Charlie Sheen, Barbra Streisand, and (Hanoi) Jane Fonda with you.
P.P.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.
Forward This Every Time You Get It !
Let's Keep This Going, Maybe Some Of It Will Start Sink in.

It's appalling that the victory of one party or another means that a private citizen and his businesses, none of which have been accused of breaking the law, would suddenly be targeted by the government. That's pure Third World and should outrage everyone. latimes.com/business/story/2…

So much for “democracy.” California voters have repeatedly voted to uphold the death penalty. This is a major blow to Californians and the families of victims murdered in horrific circumstances.

I hate the phase "the American people". when it's used to dilute the American person. I don't care if "the American people" vote for Medicare for all. There is nothing in the Constitution that says 51% of the population can vote for whatever they want and the 49% must submit to it.

Robert Garcia on Wednesday arrogantly said “the days of Huntington Beach being a MAGA city are over.” He’s not describing the city as it is. He’s declaring that he intends to overwrite its already established politics and replace them with his progressive agenda.
Huntington Beach has an all-Republican city council that ran and won as MAGA. Voters there have backed conservative local policies for years. Garcia is only their new congressman because Democrats redrew the maps under Prop 50 to pull the city into his district. The people didn’t move left. The lines moved.
Garcia is most recently from Long Beach. He originally came from Peru on a visa, illegally overstayed, and was later granted amnesty. He built his career as a progressive pushing amnesty for other illegal aliens. Now that the gerrymander gave him the seat, he’s telling Huntington Beach its politics are finished.
That’s not representation. That’s replacement of the local majority’s preferences with his own. Garcia doesn’t speak for Huntington Beach. He speaks only for his own anti-America agenda.
If the residents of Huntington Beach wanted a progressive congressman, they could have elected one. They didn’t. Garcia is using the power Democrats wrongly gave him to declare the city’s views null and void. The city already made its choices. He should reflect them, not replace them.
It's comical to me, the amount of people who cheer for politics like it's a sport, and their favorite team won.
Society is cooked.
