Room Erupts As California Trump Fan Warns Crowd About What Illegals Are Doing To Black
Community
Black voters in Santa Clarita, California who support President Trump's illegal immigration
policies have been taking their case to the city council to voice their disdain for California
effectively becoming a sanctuary state.
One Trump supporter made a viral video of a woman lambasting that city council over
the issue.
The video was taken in May, but the sentiment is even stronger today there.
The unidentified woman speaking in the video describes herself as a "Christian, Conservative,
Wife, mum."
An African-American herself, she says she wants to lead the "mass #Blaxit from the
Democratic Party."
The video was posted to Twitter and went uber-viral after that.
I have heard this sentiment not only from the black community but from the Hispanic
community as well.
Either come to America the legal way or don't come at all.
The woman wore a red Make America Great Again cap to make her point obvious.
She is part of a group of citizens who turned out to speak against California's "sanctuary
state" policies.
She was losing her voice, but she didn't mince words over it either.
The damage that illegal immigrants in California have done to the black community and others
is immense.
And it doesn't matter where the illegal immigrants come from… the result is the
same.
They take jobs and housing from actual Americans.
They bring crime and poverty into the cities and wherever they settle.
They also bring disease.
One of the most emphatic parts of this woman's speech had to do with separating children
from parents at the border.
She made a huge point over the number of people who have been separated from their families
by illegal aliens and how "they gotta go to the grave.
You tell me how that's fair."
It's a good point.
Family members who lose loved ones to crimes committed by illegal aliens never get to see
them again.
But you don't hear that from the left.
You also don't hear that of the 12,000 children that have come over the border, 10,000 did
so without parents.
You also don't hear about how many Americans have been killed by illegal aliens.
Where's the justice in that?
Nowhere to be found.
From the Conservative Tribune:
"The black community is most adversely affected by illegal alien activity," the woman hoarsely
said.
"Because when these people — and I don't care if they're Swedish, Mexican, Nigerian,
Nicaraguan, Arab, I don't care — when you come here illegally, they don't get
trucked into Brentwood.
They don't get trucked into Beverly Hills.
Hell, they don't even get trucked into the fairly modest upper-class suburb where I live.
"They get trucked into Watts.
Here in California in SoCal, they get trucked into the streets of Crenshaw.
The Jungles (Baldwin Village, an underprivileged Los Angeles community).
East LA.
"A lot of black people don't have the privilege that I have," she continued.
"A lot of black people are already suffering academically.
Thus they suffer economically.
Thus they suffer in abject poverty and crime.
"Their schools are beyond a disgrace already," she added.
"When those schools get pumped with illegal aliens, (black students are) even more likely
to drop out."
She pointed out that money had to be spent on Spanish-language textbooks "because the
illegal alien minors cannot speak the king's English."
"I, as an American citizen, born and raised in Los Angeles, cannot get a job if I want
to do something different than what I do, which is fight for American people — I have
to learn two languages," she said.
"Specifically Spanish.
In my own country.
You tell me how that's fair."
The video first surfaced on Twitter when someone responded to a tweet from MSNBC's Joy Reid.
She was trying to stir up outrage over illegal immigration.
She got that and much more, but I don't think it was what she had in mind.
According to sanctuary policies in California, police cannot inquire about an individual's
legal status even after arresting them for having committed a crime.
"Americans are dreamers too.
We're paying for welfare, for section 8, you costing us our jobs.
We're paying for you," the woman stated in the video.
"Respect Americans.
This is America!
This is our home and this is our country."
The room agreed with her overwhelmingly.
"Respect Americans.
This is America!
This is our home and this is our country."
The people agreed with this woman, but the city council obviously didn't.
Figures.
The people who spoke were against Senate Bill 54, which "blocks state and local law enforcement
agencies from using their resources — whether that be money, properties, equipment or personnel
— to help with federal immigration enforcement."
It also blocks state and local police from cooperating with federal immigration authorities.
"The black community is most adversely affected by illegal alien activity," she exclaimed.
"When you come here illegally, they don't get trucked into Brentwood, they don't get
trucked into Beverly Hills.
They get trucked into Watts, they get trucked into the streets of Crenshaw."
Which is exactly right.
No wonder she's upset.
I don't blame her in the least.
Allowing unfettered illegal immigration is destroying California.
Mexican cartel gangs control the prisons in Los Angeles.
Heck, they basically control the streets there now.
It has become a degraded, violent area of the country to live in.
Black communities are being devastated by this.
And yet, all Jerry Brown and California elitists do is raise taxes and bring in more illegal
immigrants.
It will take the Golden State down eventually.

Supreme Court Just Made Monumental Ruling That Has Now Crushed California - Duration: 5:18.
Supreme Court Just Made Monumental Ruling That Has Now Crushed California
In a monumental decision for religious freedom and free speech, the Supreme Court in favor
of pro-life groups that counsel pregnant women to make choices other than abortion.
This ruling invalidated a California law that required pro-life centers, such as pregnancy
medical clinics, to prominently post information on how to obtain a state-funded abortion.
In a 5-4 ruling, the court ruled the state law was a violation of the Constitution.
The decision will have far-reaching effects casting doubt on the validity of similar laws
in place in Hawaii and Illinois.
The decision marks the first time the country's highest court chose to hear an abortion-related
case during the Trump administration.
Pro-life advocates, including The National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA),
praised the Supreme Court for their decision in NIFLA vs. Becerra in what it considers
a "critical free speech case."
NIFLA founder and president Thomas Glessner, J.D, in a statement – "California's
threat to pro-life pregnancy care centers and medical clinics counts among the most
flagrant violations of constitutional religious and free speech rights in the nation.
The implications of the Supreme Court's decision, in this case, will reverberate nationwide,
to similar unconstitutional laws in Illinois and Hawaii."
The California law from 2015 dubbed the "Reproductive FACT Act" (AB 775) previously required all
pro-life pregnancy centers to post signage notifying their patients where and how they
can receive state taxpayer-funded abortions.
The law applied to hundreds of privately funded pregnancy centers.
California has a significant bias in maximizing abortions in their state and it shows.
Many California lawmakers receive campaign donations directly from Planned Parenthood.
Lawmakers such as Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Senator Kamala Harris are among
the recipients.
Abortion is not the only option and should never be promoted as such.
Adoption is also an option, as is education and job training options for young mothers.
Many consider this a major blow to the eugenics agenda against the evil of Planned Parenthood
and their life stealing agenda.
Pro-life groups across the country praised the Supreme Court's decision to affirm life,
free speech, and religious freedom today.
Pro-life centers petitioned the Supreme Court to hear their case after the San Francisco-based
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against them last year.
The court sided with the state in a 3-0 ruling, saying that the state was acting within its
power of regulating medical providers.
The appeals court also ruled similarly stating that abortion advertisements in pro-life centers
did not violate free speech rights because such signage stated facts without encouraging
women to actually seek an abortion.
However, after hearing the case the Supreme Court did not agree.
The Pacific Justice Institute filed a request for the Supreme Court to review the law.
They argued that the state had effectively stripped pro-life centers and the people who
run them of their right to free speech, much like Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil
Rights Commission which was also recently ruled on by the Supreme Court.
Alliance Defending Freedom petitioned the Supreme Court to halt the law, arguing that
it forced the pro-life centers to act contrary to their core mission and violated their constitutionally
protected freedoms.
Alliance Defending Freedom's Senior Counsel Kevin Theriot welcomed the Supreme Court's
decision.
Theriot said in a statement –
"Forcing anyone to provide free advertising for the abortion industry is unthinkable—especially
when it's the government doing the forcing.
This is even more true when it comes to pregnancy care centers, which exist specifically to
care for women who want to have their babies.
The state should protect freedom of speech and freedom from coerced speech.
Information about abortion is just about everywhere, so the government doesn't need to punish
pro-life centers for declining to advertise for the very act they can't promote."
Ashley McGuire, Senior Fellow with The Catholic Association, said that she hopes this Supreme
Court decision will "put an end to these unwarranted free speech assaults so that the
centers and their staff can go on helping women without harassment from the abortion
industry.
Recent efforts to force America's pregnancy centers to advertise for abortion isn't
just an attack on free speech, it's an attack on the vulnerable women who find help and
healing in them.
These centers offer pregnant women in crisis a true choice in addition to dignified care
and do so with no profit motive and no political agenda, unlike their abortion clinic alternatives."
Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life, also praised the decision.
"These benevolent centers, which exist solely to provide love and support for women facing
unexpected pregnancies and have no financial interest at stake, should not be forced to
violate their first amendment right to freedom of speech and conscience.
March for Life will showcase the heroic work of the pregnancy care movement at the 2018
March for Life with the theme 'Love Saves Lives,'" she said.
Catherine Glenn Foste of Americans United for Life said she was "pleased" to hear
the decision, stating – "Pregnancy Care Centers provide holistic care, resources,
and hope for vulnerable women who are facing unplanned pregnancies, and they should not
be compelled to promote the abortion industry's agenda by posting signs that violate their
mission
and core values."

Judge dismisses California cities' climate lawsuits against oil companies - Duration: 4:47.
Judge dismisses California cities' climate lawsuits against oil companies
A federal judge dismissed a pair of lawsuits that two California cities filed against major oil companies for their roles in climate change and its effects.
The ruling is a blow to San Francisco and Oakland and environmentalists who have long tried to hold fossil fuel companies liable for climate change.
Judge William Alsup stated in his late Monday ruling that his decision did not hinge on climate science and that there was no dispute about the harms of fossil fuels.
But Alsup, nominated to the bench by former President Bill Clinton, ultimately felt that the core questions raised in the case were best left up to the federal government, Congress and international organizations.
"Questions of how to appropriately balance these worldwide negatives against the worldwide positives of the energy itself, and of how to allocate the pluses and minuses among the nations of the world, demand the expertise of our environmental agencies, our diplomats, our Executive, and at least the Senate," Alsup wrote.
"Nuisance suits in various United States judicial districts regarding conduct worldwide are far less likely to solve the problem and, indeed, could interfere with reaching a worldwide consensus," he continued.
"The problem deserves a solution on a more vast scale than can be supplied by a district judge or jury in a public nuisance case.
Alsup also felt that for a court to weigh in on substantive policy questions would be a violation of the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution, since those are rights reserved for other branches.
The lawsuits, filed last year, employed a novel legal strategy to try to accomplish climate goals, a strategy that a handful of other major liberal cities have started to try as well.
The defendants were BP, Chevron Corp., ConocoPhillips Co., Exxon Mobil Corp.
and Royal Dutch Shell.
The National Association of Manufacturers, which has fought the strategy and sees the lawsuits as a threat to manufacturing, praised Alsup's ruling.
"From the moment these baseless lawsuits were filed, we have argued that the courtroom was not the proper venue to address this global challenge," NAM president Jay Timmons said in a statement.
"Judge Alsup agreed.
Other municipalities around the country who have filed similar lawsuits should take note as those complaints are likely to end the same way.".
Exxon spokesman Scott Silvestri said the company has "said all along that addressing the risks of climate change is a serious global challenge that should be addressed by policymakers and not by the courts.
Richard Wiles, executive director of the Center for Climate Integrity, said the ruling is a disappointment.
His group has been actively pushing for similar lawsuits around the country.
"The case before the judge was never about how to solve global climate change but simply whether oil and gas producers should help San Francisco and Oakland pay for the costs of adapting to it," he said in a statement.
"By kicking the case to a do-nothing Congress and a climate denying White House, the court essentially ruled that taxpayers alone should pay the massive costs of adapting to climate change.

California firefighters save boy stuck in library's statue - Duration: 2:13.
Firefighters in California had to rescue a young boy, who crawled into a statue and got his head stuck at the Solano County Library Monday
(Fairfield Fire Department) A family of four in California went to the Solano County Library Monday to register for their library cards when one of the young boys in the family crawled into a statue and got his head stuck
The statue is one of two 800-pound granite lions. It was a gift from Fairfield's sister city Zinwa in Taiwan back around 1977
Today a young boy was attempting to crawl through a stone statue and got his head stuck
Engine 37 and Truck 37 were able to gently chip a small piece of the stone away enough to free the boy
The boy was not injured, the statue had minor damage pic.twitter.com/F8so7Xrxv8— Fairfield Fire Dept

" They serve as guardians to the people inside the structures they protect. "We got a call for a juvenile stuck in a statue," recalled Fairfield Fire Capt
Tony Prado. It was not your everyday type of call for help. But with lights and sirens on, Station 37 responded
"He was underneath and he had his head between the front and rear legs on the left side of the dog," said engineer Anthony Bellamy
"His head was between those, got through but wasn't able to get it back out." "We were trying to do everything we could to manipulate his head to get it out," said firefighter and paramedic Chase Diaz
"We used Vaseline, sheets of plastic. We tried maneuvering his head every single way

SAN FRANCISCO – Fire crews are gaining ground against a Northern California wildfire that forced more than 1,000 people to flee their homes and has destroyed 12 homes
The California's Department of Forestry and Fire Protection says the fire in Lake County north of San Francisco is 25 percent contained as Wednesday morning, up from 17 percent on Tuesday
The blaze burning through dry brush, grass and timber has scorched 21 square miles (54 square kilometers) since it started on Saturday and is threatening 600 buildings
State fire officials say high temperatures in the 80s, low humidity and erratic winds helped the blaze expand on Tuesday and that the same weather was expected on Wednesday
At least 1,500 people remain under mandatory evacuation.

Expanded Learning in California: Federal Program Monitoring - Duration: 13:44.
[Music]
Hello, and welcome to the Expanded Learning in California
Grantee Orientation video on Federal Program Monitoring
brought to you by the California Department of Education's
Expanded Learning Division and the California Afterschool Network.
This video will cover the following topics:
The Before and After School Program (BASP)
Federal Program Monitoring Instrument,
the California Monitoring Tool,
the Seven Dimensions of the BASP Federal Program Monitoring Instrument,
Common Before and After School Program Federal Monitoring findings,
and Frequently Asked Federal Program Monitoring Questions.
What is Federal Program Monitoring or FPM?
Federal law requires the California Department of Education (CDE)
to monitor the implementation of categorical programs operated by
Local Education Agencies (LEA's) and Community Based Organizations (CBO's).
It is the primary vehicle for monitoring appropriate implementation
of programs and expenditure of funds in compliance with requirements
of each categorical program.
The BASP FPM Instrument contains program specific federal and
state legal requirements that will be tested during the monitoring process.
It contains seven dimensions and 24 items
which we will review later in this video.
The instrument also includes examples of evidence needed to satisfy
the review requirements and demonstrate compliance,
and is developed and reviewed by the CDE on an annual basis
and may change from year to year to respond to changes in
federal or state law, regulations or court cases.
It is important for grantees to become familiar
with the instrument for reporting purposes.
The FPM Instrument that is used contains 24 items that are comprehensive of
three Expanded Learning Programs that CDE administers.
The After School Safety and Education (ASES) Program.
21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC).
and After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETs).
Some items being reviewed are applicable to all three programs,
others pertain to specific programs.
To determine which items of the FPM Instrument pertain to your program,
each item is labeled with the applicable program or programs.
On the screen is an image of
BASP 3: Serves Eligible Pupils in Appropriate Grade Levels.
As highlighted in the image, all three programs
ASES, 21st CCLC and ASSETS
are reviewed for compliance in this area.
Fact or Fiction?
FPM is the acronym for Financial Program Monitoring.
Fiction.
FPM stands for Federal Program Monitoring.
The California Monitoring Tool or CMT is a new web based tool developed by the CDE
which allows the monitoring of LEA's to ensure that they meet fiscal and
program requirements of federal categorical programs and state funding they receive.
The BASP FPM Instrument is completed by grantees in the CMT
located on the CDE web server.
The BASP FPM Instrument is broken down into seven dimensions.
The first dimension is Involvement, which covers the first two BASP items.
1. Collaboration with Schools, and
2. Ongoing Consultation with Private Schools
Dimension two covers items relating to Governance and Administration.
The items in this section are:
3. Serves Eligible Pupils in Appropriate Grades
4. Operates Program Required Hours and Days
5. Early Release and Late Arrival Policies
6. Daily Nutritious Snack and/or Supper
7. Physical Activity Element
8. Submits Data and Maintains Records
9. Effective Use of Public Resources
10. Inventory, and
11. Program Plan Review.
Dimension three relates to Funding and includes the following items:
12. Funding Direct Services to Pupils
13. Fiscal and Auditing Standards
14. Local Contribution of Cash or In-Kind, and
15. Supplement not Supplant
Dimension four relates to Standards, Assessment and Accountability.
Item 16. Evaluation Requirements, and
Item 17. Data Driven Quality Improvement Process
are reviewed under this dimension.
Dimension five, Staffing and Professional Development
pertains to the following items:
18. Provides Staff Training
19. Student to Staff Ratio, and
20. Staff Minimum Qualifications
Opportunity and Equal Educational Access is the sixth dimension.
The items in this section are:
21. Safe Access to Facilities, and
22. Information in Parents Languages
The seventh and final dimension is Teaching and Learning
and covers the remaining two BASP items:
23. Provides Academic and Enrichment, and
24. Provides Literacy Education for Families
Fact or Fiction?
The system you will use to upload your FPM documents is the
California Monitoring Tool also known as CMT.
Fact. Find the link to the CMT on the resources page at the end of this video.
The California Department of Education's Expanded Expanded Learning Division
has created a list of common fpm findings the top six most common findings are:
Item 1. Collaboration with Schools
Item 5. Early Release
Item 10. Inventory
Item 12. Funding Direct Services
Item 14. Local Contribution of Cash or In-Kind Funds, and
Item 15. Supplement not Supplant
Please contact your regional consultant for additional information on these items.
Now we want to review some important notes for grantees
who are going through Federal Program Monitoring.
We only monitor the Before and Afterschool program grants.
If your agency also has an ASES Transportation, Equitable Access
or Family Literacy Grant, we will not ask for documentation
for those specific programs.
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to provide grantees
technical assistance during FPM's.
However, we can provide compliance assistance.
Compliance assistance is information given to LEA's or agencies about the
statutory requirements for each BASP item and sub item in the program instrument.
Technical assistances is advice on different program options
related to research or recommendations based on the reviewers
professional and education experiences.
Many times we will contact grantees after the FPM to provide technical assistance
and broker resources accordingly. However, grantees can reach out to their
System of Support of Expanded Learning Lead for any
technical assistance during the FPM process.
As you know, we administer on site FPM's as a way to gather more information to
verify compliance and it's important to note that when we administer the on site FPM,
we are not allowed to conduct student interviews.
However, It is common for us to interview a variety of stakeholders
including parents, staff, teachers and administrators.
As a grantee going through this process it's important to
submit evidence as soon as possible.
As mentioned previously, reviewers are allowed to provide
compliance assistance throughout the process of the FPM in order to
eliminate any unnecessary findings.
As a promising practice, you may want to keep separate folders for each
BASP item as you're uploading and keep them for evidence.
It is important to note that we will review all fiscal items for the prior year
and all programmatic items for the current year.
Example of fiscal items would be
Item 12. Direct funding to pupils, or
Item 14. Local contribution of cash or in-kind.
An example of a programmatic item for the current year is Item 20. Staff qualifications.
The only instance where this will not apply is if we were monitoring programs very
early on in the school year and they do not have the necessary program items to upload.
In this case we will look at the program items for the prior year.
Fact or Fiction?
An example of a fiscal document is Item 20. Staff Qualifications.
Fiction. Staff Qualifications is a programmatic item
that is reviewed for the current year.
Let's take a moment to review some CMT document uploading tips
to help ensure a smooth review for grantees.
As Previously mentioned the system you will use to upload your document
is called the California Monitoring Tool or CMT.
Please do not provide any information that goes beyond what is required
to provide evidence that you are meeting a specific requirement.
We do want to see a variety of evidence
but we are generally able to make a determination if the program is in
compliance after reviewing five or six different pieces per item.
Number each page of the documents consecutively
this may be done by hand and it's not necessary to eliminate page numbers
that are already exist on your documents.
If possible, we do ask that you upload all documents for each item
as one piece of evidence as opposed to uploading them all separately.
Prior to uploading, highlight the section and each document
that pertains to the item you are providing evidence for.
Note the page numbers of the highlighted sections at beginning of the document.
Ask questions and clarify items if needed.
We get a lot of questions about the level of detail that we want as evidence.
We don't need a lot.
For example, if you are providing evidence for professional development
offered or attended, the date, items covered and participant names
who attended for your organization will suffice.
We do not need to see the PowerPoint presentation of the training.
Lastly, for privacy reasons students' names must be redacted from all
pieces of evidence uploaded.
Uploading staff names is okay.
Fact or Fiction?
The level of detail provided for FPM evidence must be
extensive and exhaustive.
Fiction. The level of detail can be as simple as providing an agenda
and a list of names of those who attended a training.
