Roundup: 2018 Rose Parade showcases big musical performances, beautiful Southern California
weather, Music took on a headlining role at the 129th Rose Parade with big opening and
closing numbers, a surprise performance by Earth, Wind & Fire, and the best marching
bands from around the world.
Youtube star and singer Todrick Hall kicked off the mostly tame event with an elaborate
production with 100 dancers and musicians.
Hours later, pop artist Andy Grammer closed out the day with a mobile concert, complete
with an accompanying audience of fans who launched into a synchronized dance.
But it was funk and soul band Earth, Wind & Fire that stole the spotlight with a surprise
performance of "September" after emerging from The Forum's float.
The Inglewood venue is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
The spinning, leaping and dancing band members of the Kyoto Tachibana High School wowed when
their athletic choreography did not stop them from playing music from "Star Wars," "Super
Mario Brothers" and more.
Senior Hitomi Kanamaru, who has a prosthetic leg, received accolades from broadcasters
for performing flawlessly with the group.
Sunny, above average temperatures in the 60s and 70s provided a welcome change from the
chilly weather of the past few years.
This year's parade celebrated the theme of "Making a Difference" with actor and
humanitarian Gary Sinise serving as grand marshal.
Police, firefighters, service members and volunteers were highlighted throughout the
day, including firefighters who battled wildfires throughout Southern California in recent weeks.
Sinise rode the 5.5 miles in the black car George Bailey runs into a tree in "It's
a Wonderful Life," the classic Christmas movie that Tournament of Roses President Lance
Tibbett used as inspiration for his vision for the parade.
Though the big moments often got a lot of attention, there were poignant moments spread
throughout the parade.
Los Angeles Dodgers' team member Enrique "Kiké" Hernandez, standing with his father,
drew cheers on the City of Hope's float.
The "Transforming Lives with Hope" display featured a wishing tree with leaves made from
notes written by cancer patients and their families.
Hernandez's father was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, but he is now in remission.
The Lucy Pet Foundation's "Paws for Life" saluted heroic animals and their owners, including
"Sirius," a military K-9 now living with the family of fallen U.S. Marine Sgt.
Joshua Ashley in Rancho Cucamonga, and Tara, a cat that fearlessly rescued a 4-year-old
from a viscous dog in Bakersfield.
Susan Bro, the mother of Heather Heyer, the woman killed during protests in Charlottesville,
rode on the AIDS Healthcare Foundation's "Keeping the Promise" float with its frank
reminder about the ongoing fight for civil rights and social justice.
KTLA's Mark Steines and Leeza Gibbons, in their second year of hosting the show, faced
new competition this year from Amazon.
In partnership with Funny or Die, Amazon Prime streamed the parade with their own veteran
hosts, the characters of Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan played by Will Ferrell and Molly
Shannon.
Their joking coverage found mixed reactions.
Some felt the parody made it hard to watch the actual parade, while others loved the
absurdity.
The video was almost a 50/50 split between 5-star and 1-star reviews on Amazon by Monday
afternoon.
Cord and Tish twisted the decades of banter between established hosts, such as the now-retired
Bob Eubanks and Stephanie Edwards.
In one seemingly unscripted interaction, a woman passing by scolded actor Tim Meadows
for blocking her view of the parade.
"Does she know you're talking to Cord and Tish?"
Ferrell asked, the camera panning toward the woman as she tried to wave it away.
"She says no, she doesn't care," Meadows replied.
Later, as the credits rolled, Ferrell and Shannon, acting as if their microphone were
off, debated firing their entire crew.
Amazon's entry "Make Your Own Momentum" offered a unique take on a float, especially
in the way it was powered.
The giant wheels advertising the "Grand Tour" were pushed by a total of eight people
for all 5 1/2 miles of the route.
Other standouts include Singpoli's award-winning "Rising Above" float, which depicted a
legend of fish leaping over a gate to become dragons; Trader Joe's "Hats Off," a
confetti flinging take on the Fearless Flyer; and of course, the miniature therapy horses.
There were still a few mishaps.
Audiences members held their breath as the city of Carson's float veered dangerously
close to the grandstands before righting itself.
The AgPhD TV and Radio float was the first to break down; it had to be towed almost immediately.
The Rose Parade has a fleet of tow trucks on standby every year to keep problematic
floats from slowing
down
the rest.

Marijuana Officially Legal In California. America Next... - Duration: 8:12.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WE GOT IT.
WEED IS NOW LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA.
IF EVER THERE WAS CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION, THIS IS A AND
I WILL TELL YOU WHY DIET IS NOT JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO
GET HIGH.
IT IS BECAUSE IT HAS HUGE POLICY RAMIFICATIONS AND IT IS NOT
JUST BECAUSE IT IS CALIFORNIA, IT IS BECAUSE IT IS OVER.
I'M GOING TO DECLARE OVER RIGHT NOW.
MARIJUANA WILL BE LEGAL EVERYWHERE.
ONCE I POUND THE GAVEL, IT IS OVER.
LET ME EXPLAIN WHY.
LET'S GO TO HUFF POST FOR
AN EXPLANATION OF THE LAW IN CALIFORNIA.
IT IS GIGANTIC.
CALIFORNIA, IF IT WAS ITS OWN COUNTRY WOULD BE AMONG THE
TOP SEVEN ECONOMIES IN THE WORLD, SO THAT IS HOW LARGE
CALIFORNIA IS BOTH IN SIZE AND AN ECONOMY BUT THERE ARE
EVEN WIDER RAMIFICATIONS.
OVER.
ONCE THE GOVERNMENT GETS HOPED ON THAT BILLION DOLLARS, IT
IS A GATEWAY DRUG TO HAVING MARIJUANA LEGAL FOREVER.
I AM USING GATEWAY DRUG MOCKINGLY OF THE RIGHT WING
AND THE PREPOSTEROUS ARGUMENT THEY MADE ABOUT MARIJUANA
FOR DECADES AND DECADES, BUT IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE
GOVERNMENT NEEDING THAT TAX REVENUE.
MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY AND WHAT IS NOT MENTIONED IN THESE
ARTICLES NEARLY ENOUGH, WAS NOT IT ALL IS ONCE YOU HAVE
CORPORATIONS PROFITING FROM
MARIJUANA, TO THE TUNE OF $7
BILLION IN CALIFORNIA ALONE, WE ARE DONE WITH THIS THING.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN CORPORATE POWERFUL TO THE OTHER SIDE
GOES MARIJUANA, WHEN HE MADE GATEWAY DRUG?
SCHEDULE 1.
IT'S WONDERFUL, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WE ARE MAKING?
AND THE NEW GRACE SOME POLITICIANS AND THIS THING
IS DONE.
NO ONE IS GOING TO TURN DOWN THAT KIND OF PROFIT AND
THEN THEY ARE GOING TO WANT IT IN ALL THE NEIGHBORING STATES
AND THEN ALL THE STATES AND THEN ALL ACROSS THE WORLD, SO
CORPORATE AMERICA UNFORTUNATELY HAS A LOT OF DOWNSIDES
INCLUDING A BRIBING ALMOST ALL OF OUR POLITICIANS HERE IN
AMERICA BUT THE UPSIDE IS IF YOU LET CORPORATIONS DO
MARIJUANA, YOU WILL HAVE LEGAL MARIJUANA EVERYWHERE.
MATT FERNER WRITING HERE:
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO ROLL BACK 28 STATE'S LEGISLATION.
THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT GOES BACK AND FORTH.
THE RIGHT WING IS WINNING NOW, THE LEFT WING HAS MORE
MOMENTS LATER.
NO.
ONCE MARIJUANA BECOMES LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA AS IT HAS NOW
BECOME, THERE IS NO ROLLING IT BACK.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REALLY BAD 28
STATES BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MARIJUANA.
DOES IT HAVE A COUPLE OF DOWNSIDES?
OF COURSE, AS EVERYTHING DOES, BUT IS IT MORE DANGEROUS
THAN HEROIN AND COCAINE AND METH AND FENANYL?
IS IT MORE DANGEROUS THAN PAINKILLERS YOU ARE TAKING?
NO. IS IT MORE DANGEROUS THAN ALCOHOL?
NO.
IF IT WAS, DO YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AFTER CALIFORNIA
LEGALIZED IT, LET ALONE ALL THE OTHER STATES THAT HAVE DONE SO
RECREATIONALLY, LET ALONE MEDICALLY, PEOPLE WOULD
START DYING.
THEY WOULD LIKE OH MY GOD, DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE 13
GUYS WHO DIED YESTERDAY FROM SMOKING MARIJUANA?
BUT THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE IT WAS ALL LIES.
INSTEAD WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS HEY DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE 13
GUYS ARE 13,000 GUYS WHO SMOKE MARIJUANA THE OTHER DAY AND FELT
A LITTLE BIT BETTER EITHER IN TERMS OF ACTUAL PAIN RELIEF,
WHICH HELPS SOLDIERS SUFFERING FROM PTSD AS ONE OF MANY
EXAMPLES OR DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE 130,000 PEOPLE
WHO SMOKE MARIJUANA YESTERDAY AND HAD A GOOD TIME AND THAT WAS
THAT?
THEY MADE A GOOD TIME ILLEGAL.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREE
COUNTRY BUT IT IS GOING TO BE
FREE AGAIN, SO THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS.
IN CALIFORNIA THEY WENT A LITTLE FARTHER.
WHY THIS LEGISLATION IS ACTUALLY EVEN BETTER AND MORE PROGRESSIVE
THAN IN SOME OF THE OTHER STATES
AND HONESTLY, I COULDN'T'VE IMAGINED WHEN THEY STARTED
THIS PROCESS.
THAT IS GREAT NEWS.
REMEMBER, ONE OF RICHARD NIXON'S TOP AIDES SAID IN THE 1990S,
GUESS, WE START OF THE WERE ON DRUGS TO GO AFTER OUR
POLITICAL ENEMIES.
HIPPIE LIBERALS AND BLACK PEOPLE.
HE SAID IT.
HE TOLD YOU WHY THEY DID IT.
NOW TO FREE THOSE PRISONERS FOR SMOKING MARIJUANA WHEN ALL
OF OUR PRESIDENTS LATELY HAVE SMOKED MARIJUANA, GEORGE W.
BUSH, BARACK OBAMA, BILL CLINTON, THEY HAVE ALL DONE
IT BUT THEY NEVER WENT TO PRISON BECAUSE THEY ARE AMONG THE
ELITES.
TO FREE THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT IN THE ELITES, WHO ARE
IMPRISONED AND ARGUABLY ENSLAVED WORKING FOR A DOLLAR A DAY
IS SLAVE WAGES FOR SOME OF THESE PRISONS.
THAT IS A MONUMENTAL DIFFERENCE MAKER.
IT IS A GREAT DAY
IN AMERICA.
QUESTIONS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
AND THEY'RE NOT DONE YET.
FOR YEARS AND YEARS, DECADES THEY CRUSHED THOSE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES.
THE ONLY ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY THEY HAD UNFORTUNATELY WAS THE
BOOMING DRUG TRADE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
NOW THEY HAVE TURNED IT AROUND AND SAID, WE WERE WRONG SO
IF WE ARE GOING TO START UP SHOPS AND THIS IS GOING TO BE
LEGAL AND THESE ARE GOING TO BE REAL BUSINESSES, WE SHOULD GIVE
THOSE SAME COMMUNITIES WHICH WE ARE OPPRESSED AND CRUSHED
AND IMPRISONED FOR ALL THIS TIME FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS ACTUALLY
PERFECTLY SAFE, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY FIRST.
IN MY MIND, THAT IS WONDERFUL.
ALL OF THE STATES, THERE ARE NO CASES OF PEOPLE GOING WILD
ON MARIJUANA.
IT WAS ALL PROPAGANDA, NOBODY HAS LOST THEIR MIND.
IT IS
NOT THE GATEWAY DRUG.
THE GATEWAY DRUG UNFORTUNATELY IS LEGAL PRESCRIPTION
PAINKILLERS AS WE'VE SEEN WITH THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC.
ONE LAST PIECE OF NEWS FOR YOU IN REGARDS TO THIS FOR THE
WHOLE COUNTRY.
IT'S OVER.
MARIJUANA WILL BE LEGAL EVERYWHERE AS WELL AS SHOULD BE,
AND CALIFORNIA HAS IN MY OPINION STRUCK THE DEATHBLOW FOR THIS
INSANE WAR ON MARIJUANA THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR FAR TOO LONG.
ANOTHER GREAT JOB BY ONE OF THE MOST PROGRESSIVE STATES IN
THE COUNTRY IN LEADING THE WAY TOWARD RIGHTEOUSNESS,
JUSTICE, AND RATIONALITY.

Breaking News Out Of CALIFORNIA, Even We're SHOCKED…
Hell Freaking YES!
Numerous new laws went into effect in California on January 1, so a group of anonymous street
artists decided to troll the state by posting the truth along many of its highways.
Along with gun laws that make absolutely zero sense whatsoever, California decided it was
going to become the country's first official "sanctuary state."
The move came in defiance of President Trump's tough stance on immigration, which poses a
serious threat to the Democrats' ability to retain power since they literally need
to import new voters because they're so out of touch with Americans nobody wants to
vote for them anymore.
In response to the state's new sanctuary status, street artists decided they were going
to make official-looking signs that expose the truth about California and the reasoning
behind its new policy regarding illegal immigrants.
Boy are they ever spot on as well.Is that not a riot?
Better yet, is it not the unadulterated truth?
It's a fact that immigrants overwhelmingly vote Democrat, which is how Hillary Clinton
was able to secure four million more votes than President Trump in California alone,
many of which were likely cast by illegal aliens.
Thanks to the state's Motor Voter law – a law the requires voter registration when applying
for a license – and the fact California hands out driver's licenses to illegal aliens,
just about any yahoo can vote in the state.
Worse yet, Democrats have often encouraged illegal aliens to do exactly that.
In fact, President Obama infamously told a group of illegal aliens there wouldn't be
any punishment for them if they were to cast ballots in the 2016 presidential election.
Between the state going to great lengths to shield illegals from federal immigration authorities,
the fact that Democrats as a whole consider them to be actual immigrants, and California's
laws being set up in such a way that allows illegals to vote, it's not a surprise they
feel empowered within the state to do exactly that.
So kudos to these anonymous street artists for exposing the real reason California's
Democrat leadership truly wants to welcome illegals into their state.
Without them, they'd be hard-pressed to win another election after the damage they've
done to the once-beautiful coastal state.

California Passes 'Sanctuary State' Law And Fox News Goes BALLISTIC - Duration: 5:00.
TODAY CALIFORNIA MADE MARIJUANA LEGAL.
OF COURSE WE VOTED ON THE EARLIER AND NOW IT IS IN
EFFECT STARTING ACTUALLY YESTERDAY, ON MONDAY.
THEY ALSO PASSED A LAW ON SANCTUARY STATE, MAKING
CALIFORNIA SANCTUARY STATE.
THIS IS MADE FOX NEWS OF COURSE LOSE THEIR MINDS IN ALMOST
LITERAL REEFER MADNESS.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU TWO CLIPS ASSOCIATED THAT AND THEN I
WILL BREAK DOWN THEIR LACK OF LOGIC BUT THEY ARE FUN ANYWAY.
LET'S LOOK AT THESE GOOFBALLS.
JANUARY 1 CALIFORNIA BECAME AN OFFICIAL SITUATION, NOT
CITY, THE ENTIRE STATE SANCTUARY.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
THEY SAY, THE IMMIGRANTS HERE AMONG OUR POPULATION YOU
HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IMMIGRANT'S DEPORTATION.
THEY'RE NOT IMMIGRANTS, THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BE HERE.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT.
IF
YOU ARE IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL, PUBLIC LIBRARY, HEALTH
FACILITY, THEY'RE SAFE PLACES FROM DONALD TRUMP.
THEY SAY IT IS YOU AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.
THEY SAID NO SUCH THING.
WE ARE GOING TO GET TO THE MARIJUANA IN A SECOND.
CALIFORNIA CRAZINESS.
IF YOU'VE ONLY HEARD RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA OR YOU NEVER
HEARD EXPLAINED BEFORE, WHAT IS A SANTUARY CITY OR STATE?
DOES THE STATE SAY UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS, COME HERE,
WE'RE HAVING A PARTY.
WITH ALL GET TOGETHER AND HAVE NOTHING BUT FUN AND YOU DO
ANYTHING YOU LIKE.
NO, HE SAYS IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WANTS TO TURN
OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT INTO THEIR ACTORS MEANING, YOU
ARE GOING TO ENFORCE FEDERAL LAWS.
ONE OF US FEDERAL LAWS IS LOST BY IMMIGRATION, THEN YOU
HAVE TO PAY ME FOR IT.
YOU CAN'T DO UNFUNDED MANDATES.
REMEMBER WHEN CONSERVATIVES PRETENDED TO BE AGAINST THOSE?
YOU CANNOT TELL ME KEEP THAT GUY WHO WAS UNDOCUMENTED IN
YOUR PRESENCE FOR THREE YEARS.
IF THE GUY BROKE A LAW, THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP IN IN CALIFORNIA
PRISON ANYWAY AND THEN THEY ARE GOING TO DEPORT HIM ANYWAY.
THAT IS ALREADY PART OF THE LAW.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO DID NOT BREAK THE LAW.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAYS I THINK THAT GUY IS UNDOCUMENTED.
NOW I WANT YOU TO KEEP HIM IN PRISON INDEFINITELY.
CALIFORNIA SAYS FIRST OF ALL, YOU DIDN'T PAY ME TO KEEP
THEM IMPRISONED INDEFINITELY.
SEND ME THE MONEY AND WE'LL HAVE A CONVERSATION.
SECOND, WHAT DO YOU MEAN INDEFINITELY?
THAT IS AGAINST OUR DUE PROCESS LAWS NOT ONLY NATIONWIDE
BUT ALSO FOR CALIFORNIA.
NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO WHATEVER THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TELLS US TO DO AND DOESN'T PAY FOR.
THEY MAKE IT SEEM LIKE WE'RE ALL GOING NUTS HERE AND WE'RE
FINDING UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS AND BRINGING THEM HERE AND
BRINGING THEM CAKE.
THAT IS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING.
NOW LET'S MOVE TO MARIJUANA.
NOT ONLY IF YOU ARE ILLEGAL YOU ARE WELCOME IN
CALIFORNIA, ALSO IF YOU WANT TO GET HIGH, YOU ARE WELCOME
THERE TOO.
SO YOU CAN BE ILLEGAL AND WASTED ON MARIJUANA AND
LIVE IN THAT STATE AND BE JUST FINE.
THE SIXTH STATE TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA AS OF JANUARY 1
AND BY THE WAY, IT IS AMAZING HOW LONG THE LINES WERE.
50% HIGHER THAN EVEN ANTICIPATED.
UNDERNEATH THE WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA SIGN SOMEONE
POSTED A SIGN THAT SAID OFFICIAL SANCTUARY CITY,
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND MS-13 WELCOME.
DEMOCRATS NEED THE VOTES.
ABSOLUTELY, HOW AMAZING IS THAT.
KNOW IT'S NOT.
MS 13 IS A BRUTAL GAINING THAT BY THE WAY WAS CREATED
BECAUSE OF THE INSANE WAR ON DRUGS.
WE MADE IT ILLEGAL FOR NO REASON SOME PEOPLE STARTED DEALING
WITH AND SINCE IT WAS ILLEGAL, BLACK MARKETS FORMED AND
THOSE BLACK MARKETS, TERRIBLE GANGS FORMED JUST LIKE WHEN
PROHIBITION OF ALCOHOL.
NOBODY WANTS ANYBODY TO COMMIT ANY CRIMES IN CALIFORNIA
BECAUSE WE LIVE IN CALIFORNIA.
WHY WOULD WE WANT CRIMES HE REQUESTED THEY THINK THAT
THAT IS HOW LIBERALS ARE.
SOMEBODY COME AND COMMIT A CRIME AGAINST ME.
NO, YOU MORONS, IF THEY COMMITTED A CRIME THEY
CANNOT ONLY PRISON TIME BUT SUPPORTED ANYWAY.
THE OTHER REASON, BY THE WAY IS SEXUALLY CITIES AND STATES ON
AVERAGE HAVE CRIME STATISTICS
THAT ARE LOWER.
WHY?
BECAUSE IF YOU SAY TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, YOU COME AND
TAKE AWAY ALL THE UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.
WE'LL WORK
WITH YOU AND KEEP THEM IN OUR PRISONS FOREVER.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS ARE RELUCTANT TO REPORT CRIME TO THE
POLICE WHICH BREEDS LAWLESSNESS.
IT IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.
YOU KNOW WHAT MARIJUANA BREEDS?
A GOOD TIME AND OFTEN TIMES, BETTER HEALTH BUT THESE
GUYS ON FOX NEWS, BY THE WAY, I DO NOT EVEN BELIEVE THEM.
THE CHANCES OF THOSE THREE HAVING NEVER SMOKED POT IS
INFINITESIMALLY SMALL.
I WOULD BE SHOCKED IF THEY WEREN'T HIGH CONSISTENTLY LET
ALONE THAT THEY NEVER DID IT ACCORDING TO THEM,
CALIFORNIA, THEY ARE NUTS.
BIG LINES OF PEOPLE SMOKING MARIJUANA AND ACTUALLY WANT
TO TREAT PEOPLE AS HUMAN BEINGS.
NO, NO, IT'S ALL ABOUT MS-13.
