I can hear a helicopter or two right now. I'm about two miles from downtown where the curfew is...so something might be happening in my neighborhood.

When I checked my mail, someone had left little papers in Spanish and English on what to say if ICE, etc, stops you.
Found out what's happening. Gigantic group of protesters walking down Wilshire Blvd, currently in the Koreatown area of Wilshire....where I live.

Many police cars are coming now.
John Hicks is streaming it live right now.

Skirmish line of police has been set up at Wilshire and Western by Wiltern Theatre concert venue.
The mayor might need a citywide curfew.

Wilshire Blvd is 17 miles long from downtown to Santa Monica at the ocean.

I have to charge my tablet soon, will be back later.

They are arresting and will prosecute

Yeah right. We'll see how that works out.



We recently elected a tough on crime District Attorney in the County of Los Angeles.

Who is a liberal and when people get upset at him he'll back down, you watch.

I'm actually happy that liberals are once again supporting lawlessness because they can kiss the mid-term elections good bye!




I'm about two miles from downtown where the curfew is...

I'd be locked and loaded for bear if crazy people were doing this in my hood.

If you read my above posts, the protesters marched down the main boulevard just a half a block from my apartment building. I first heard the helicopters. Then found out from John Hicks live streamer that they were marching here in Koreatown.

Here's our new district attorney, Nathan Hochman. He's prosecuting some for felonies.

Check into the connection of Karen Bass and the Venceremos Brigade
Nothing shocks me anymore, these politicians are Marxists.


Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing criticism over the timing of her recent overseas trip to Ghana, and budget cuts that hampered the city's fire department from doing its job amid the ongoing citywide blaze. The mayor’s poorly timed foreign travel has raised questions about her priorities and similar past trips.

One of the most interesting chapters of Bass’ political career and international travel involves her past excursions to communist Cuba. The former U.S. congresswoman turned metropolitan mayor played a significant role with the Venceremos Brigade —a group linked to Cuba's communist regime.



History of the Venceremos Brigade​

The Venceremos Brigade, founded in 1969, is a U.S.-based organization that has facilitated trips for Americans to Cuba in defiance of U.S. travel restrictions. The group was formed by young activists in solidarity with the Marxist-Leninst Cuban Revolution, aiming to challenge U.S. policies toward Cuba, including economic sanctions—referred to as the “blockade” in alignment with Fidel Castro’s rhetoric—and travel bans.

During the past 56 years, the Venceremos Brigade has helped coordinate the travel of nearly 10,000 Americans to the communist island, according to reports from Cuban state media.



On its official website, the Venceremos Brigade lists five “points of unity”:

  1. Belief in Cuba’s sovereignty and right to self-determination.
  2. Support for the constitutional right of U.S. citizens to travel freely.
  3. Commitment to international solidarity and struggle.
  4. Advocacy for equity and justice against capitalism, racism, patriarchy, and colonialism.
  5. Recognition that “people are not disposable.”
The Brigade started their missions by volunteering U.S. students to help Cuban laborers work in sugarcane fields. However, reports published by U.S. government agencies and Congress say the missions have been used by the Cuban regime as a gateway to collect data on Americans and U.S. public officials.

A Feb. 26, 1982 report published by the U.S. Senate confirms that shortly after its formation, “the DGI [Cuban intelligence] quickly began tasking VB members to collect public information on prominent Americans. This was done to conserve Cuban resources, maximize Havana’s collection of open-source material, and to test a VB member’s degree of support.

The DGI found telephone books to be an especially useful item, as the books could identify and verify the identity of high-interest personnel. VB members also provided considerable details on U.S. Congressional members, staff, and their relatives.”

While it has collected data on members of Congress, the aforementioned 1976 FBI report cited by the New York Times says the DGI’s real interest in the Brigade, “is the recruitment of individuals who are politically oriented and who someday may obtain a position, elective or appointive, somewhere in the U.S. government, which would provide the Cuban government with access to political, economic and military intelligence.”

In Spanish, “Venceremos” means “we shall overcome,” a popular Marxist revolutionary slogan that has been used by radical leftist organizations throughout Latin America since the late 1960s. It has also been incorporated into the most (in)famous Castro “revolution” slogan, which was/is “Patria o muerte! Venceremos!”

Since its inception in 1969, the Venceremos Brigade took aim at influencing Americans interested in politics, particularly those with a sympathetic ear. In 1977, the New York Times revealed details from an August 1976 FBI report that found Cuban intelligence agents “arranged for American youths to be inculcated with revolutionary fervor and, occasionally, to be trained in practical weaponry by Cuban military officers through the so‐called Venceremos Brigade.”

Well it's a good thing Trump sent all those national guard guys in, otherwise your building may have gotten burnt down

We know how those blue state folks like to catch stuff on fire when their liberal sensibilities are not being followed.

Liberals are the scourge of the nation, the dregs of society.

One is not closer to the Lord if that call God "Yahweh"
No extra points scored by saying "Yahweh" as the so called hebrew roots movement claims

It's OK, you can say God and you can say Jesus.

It's not a sin.
Don't be ignorant, (lacking knowledge) God is a title, like Pharoah, President or King, God has Name, Yahweh, His son's Name Is Yeshua. Stop being unteachable

His son's Name Is Yeshua.

If you are Jewish and speak Hebrew you might call Him Yeshua

I speak english so I call Him Jesus and you cannot provide any scriptures requiring that everyone must use His hebrew Name




Stop being unteachable

God has not sent you to be the Teacher, He sent the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.

The hebrew roots movement seeks to trick Christians in to trying to live under the OT law

I'm not interested in falling from Grace like the Galatians but if you do then by all means you better getcha some!

The pickup truck load of masks for protestors being handed out , bingo !

That's nice and all, but if they were really interested in stopping the riots and unrest they would be using the tactics they used in Iraq to disperse the crowds such as continued use of pepper spray as well as using electronic devices that freak the crowd out so bad they all take off running.

Once we see them bring out stuff like this, then we'll know they are serious about stopping the riots and unrest

They should make it very, very hurtful to riot and protest because the bad actors always hide in the crowd of those claiming to be peaceful. The so called peaceful crowd is providing cover for the bad actors which they learned from the followers of islam

In your personal relationship with Almighty, call Him what you want, and there is no scripture that states I can't refer to Him with His Hebraic Name, and as He sent the Holy Spirit to teach, He also sent teachers, prophets, Evangelist and some pastors for the perfecting of the saints Eph. 4:11-16, New Testament.

And of course there is no scripture saying you have to do this or that you get extra points with the Lord for this or that you are closer to the Lord for using hebrew as the hebrew roots people claim.




He sent the Holy Spirit to teach, He also sent teachers, prophets, Evangelist and some pastors for the perfecting of the saints Eph. 4:11-16, New Testament.

And none of them are led by the Holy Spirit to teach we are to use hebrew seeing the New Testament never teaches that

Sometimes it's better to remain silent and thought an unwise person, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Conversing with you is futile, and I will not indulge in it any longer, be blessed

Judge to Newsom: Sorry, I'm Rejecting Your Anti-Trump Motion to Block Troops From Entering LA

I'm surprised Newsom didn't find a liberal judge to agree with him on this.

At least Trump is doing something to put the hurt on these bad actors.

Maybe the cops should trow rocks back at the crowd and shoot fireworks at them too!
