They also used images from Florida with palm trees to say it was Portland. They’re really just grabbing anything they can.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Opinion: It’s time for Florida to move on from Billy Napier | GatorCountry.com Author’s note: this is an opinion piece and not reporting. It does not necessarily reflect the view of Gator Country or GC’s other writers.

After last year's Texas A&M game, I predicted Billy Napier would get fired. After this year's, I'm calling for it. Napier's inability to produce consistent quality play and complete unwillingness to change means Florida needs to move on to a new football coach.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Once measles starts ravaging people to the point that the word will get out online, maybe they’ll start to question the anti-VAX hacks they’ve listened to. It’s not a problem to them because they’ve never seen it before. They have to be hit over the head with something to realize what it is.
