Los Angeles City Council members reportedly removed “no U-turn” signs from a gay neighborhood over concerns that they would be viewed as “homophobic,” and X — formerly Twitter — exploded with reactions to the move. According to a Los Angeles NBC News affiliate, the signs that were removed had been put up in 1997 after locals complained about gay men “cruising” in the residential areas near popular gay bars while looking for dates. Several “no cruising” signs were also put up around the same time, and were taken down after a Silver Lake Neighborhood Council vote in 2011. A constituent brought the remaining “no U-turn” signs to Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman, which she said got the bureaucratic ball rolling. A “podcast mentioned that there had been ‘No Cruising’ signs along Hyperion that had been removed in 2011, but that nine signs still remained on Griffith Park Boulevard. Our very own Silver Lake constituent, Donovan Daughtry, heard the episode, and in May of 2022 he reached out to our Silver Lake Field Deputy at the time,” she explained. BREAKING: LA City Council members have removed “No U-Turn” traffic signs in a gay neighborhood. They say the signs were homophobic. No, this is not satire. pic.twitter.com/yadflyo588 — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) June 14, 2024 Fellow Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez worked with Raman to have the signs removed, saying that he had not previously understood the impact of those signs. “For me, growing up in South Central Los Angeles, cruising had a very different meaning. It usually meant folks in their lowriders or their cars, a lot of hip-hop music, just going up down Crenshaw Boulevard. But here in Silver Lake, cruising, of course, meant something very different. It meant an opportunity for the LGBT community to try to find human connection and intimacy and to be able to express themselves in a society at the time that was not very welcoming to the LGBT community. The last two no U-Turn signs remind us of that troubled past that we have here in this neighborhood.” And as a number of people pointed out later, very few Americans were aware that such signs had any connection at all to the LGBTQ community — much less a discriminatory connection.

California Governor Gavin Newsom was called out this week by border reporters after he went to the U.S.-Mexico border and claimed that he has deployed resources to deal with President Joe Biden’s border crisis. The stunt comes as estimates suggest that more than 10 million illegal aliens have entered the U.S. under the administration due to its open border policies. “We’re back down here at the border,” Newsom said in a video posted to X. “Now we’re just down here with the National Guard meeting with Customs agents, as well as Border Patrol, talking about our partnerships. We have 390 National Guardsmen and women that have been working particularly as relates it relates to fentanyl here in the State of California.” Newsom blamed Biden’s border crisis on the Republican Party, claiming that Republicans were depriving officials of the resources that they need to solve the problem even though Republicans have noted that many of the proposals put forth by Democrats will actually make the problem worse. “It’s time for them to stop playing politics,” he said. “It’s time for the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, to stop playing politics and do the right thing.” California has doubled our National Guard at the border that are working to stop the flow of fentanyl. While the GOP play games and Mike Johnson searches for his spine — we’re out here doing the work. pic.twitter.com/69dhQYwtoF — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) June 13, 2024 Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, who is regularly at the U.S.-Mexico border, responded to Newsom’s video: “Haven’t seen one – not a single one – of these CA National Guard soldiers in Jacumba where the mass illegal crossings of adult men from around the world are taking place.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “BP there so overwhelmed that the migrants wander aimlessly on highways and call Lyfts for themselves while waiting to be picked up, as San Diego sector now leads the nation in illegal crossings,” he continued. “I sent Gov. Newsom’s below post to a BP agent in Jacumba, who responded by laughing & telling me CA ‘isn’t doing s***’ to help them with illegal crossings there, and any soldiers that they see there are National Guard from other states working w/ DHS under federal Title 10 orders.” Manny Bayon, the President of the Border Patrol union’s San Diego area representation, told Melugin that he’s never seen California National Guard helping Border Patrol agents. “California Governor @GavinNewsom refuses to acknowledge the many illegal migrants pouring into California due to his policies he has in place,” Bayon said. “This is also sending a message to the world, come to California, a sanctuary state. We need help in stemming the flow of illegal migrants entering California, not rewarding illegal migrants with taxpayer funded programs.” “Governor, if you are serious about closing the California/ Mexico border, you would allow CA National guard to help us in enforcement operations,” he continued. “I would be glad to provide you a border tour so you can see for yourself.” Another border correspondent posted on X that he’s at the border and hasn’t “seen a single CA National Guard over the past week.” Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded: “Did Gavin Newsom suddenly start caring about the border? Or is it just five months before an election and Democrats realized their border crisis is one of their biggest liabilities?” Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell called Newsom “Baghdad Bob,” a reference to a notorious propagandist for former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Chris Stapleton gave an audience a surprising treat when he walked on stage and helped George Strait sing a Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard classic. George was playing for a crowd at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on June 8 when he began a cover of Pancho and Lefty, which was already enough to send fans into an uproar. But halfway through, Chris walked on stage to cover Merle’s lyrics, and fans nearly couldn’t handle their excitement—including Kelly Clarkson, who happened to be in the crowd. As George Strait strummed an interlude, Chris Stapleton nonchalantly walked onto the stage holding his own guitar. It took a moment for fans to realize what was happening. But when they heard Chris start to sing, they exploded in cheers. Kelly caught a photo of the moment on camera and shared her joy over witnessing the moment with her Instagram fans. “This is the greatest show I will ever attend,” she captioned alongside of pic of Chris Stapleton on the Megatron. “You are crazy gifted and your whole band is incredible!” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kelly Clarkson (@kellyclarkson) “This is the greatest night ever!” she continued in a second post. “Good God these vocals, the catalog of songs! What a blessing to get to experience this in person.” Kelly Clarkson Gushes Over Chris Stapleton And George Strait Duet Kelly concluded her praise by thanking George and Chris for the special memories. Chris Stapleton has been co-headling George Strait’s tour along with Little Big Town since last year. The Grammy winner will be joining The King Of Country for four more concerts this year. They also teamed up for a duet called Honky Tonk Hall of Fame that will drop with George’s Cowboys and Dreamers album on September 6. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

As Predicted, 'Violence Interrupter' Shot and Killed

Reacting to the Supreme Court’s Friday ruling striking down an executive ban on bump stocks, MSNBC’s Joy Reid welcomed Fred Guttenberg, daughter of Parkland victim Jamie Guttenberg, to The ReidOut. While Guttenberg naturally blasted the Court’s decision, he also opined on matters that have nothing to do with gun control, such as claiming Justice Clarence Thomas hates America and that the decision will possibly lead to pre-election violence from MAGA. Reid simply opened the floor up to Guttenberg, “Fred, I hate that I call upon you and only see you in these circumstances. But I just want to let you respond to what the Court did today.”     Guttenberg claimed that Friday was also the day that “demolition crews started tearing down the building that my daughter was killed in, my daughter and 16 others” and asserted that “because of today's decision, we won't be talking about 15 killed or 20 killed. We'll be talking about 100 killed or 200 killed.” He would then turn his attention to Thomas and add, “More people are going to die. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's signature will be on their death certificate.” People like Reid invite people like Guttenberg on their shows because they think his tragic story gives them the moral authority to say things that they would be less likely to get away with. However, Guttenberg left the realm of gun control activism and entered the realm of progressive activism more generally when he added, “For whatever reason, that man hates everything that makes America great, and this is going to be so deadly.” Also wandering away from any debate over the case’s specific question of what the definition of machine gun is, Guttenberg claimed the Court green-lit potential pre-election violence: So I just want to say one more thing. There's a really simple solution. Every single person watching this show today needs to check your voter registration. Go online right now and do it. Check your voter registration, make sure you vote in November. Actually, make sure you vote early if you can because what this Supreme Court did is give MAGA the tools to potentially turn that time leading into the election into one where they're going to threaten this kind of violence. Vote early, vote absentee if you can, check your voter registration today. The idea that there are a bunch of Trump supporters who are now going to possibly shoot up a polling place because of this ruling is wildly irresponsible and Joy Reid should not be allowed to get away with it by simply citing Guttenberg’s tragic biography.  Here is a transcript for the June 14 show: MSNBC The ReidOut 6/14/2024 7:25 PM ET JOY REID: Fred, I hate that I call upon you and only see you in these circumstances. But I just want to let you respond to what the Court did today. FRED GUTTENBERG: So today, demolition crews started tearing down the building that my daughter was killed in, my daughter and 16 others. Today was the day they started tearing it down, and I keep thinking about that building, Sandy Hook, you know, Uvalde, all these instances of gun violence that because of today's decision we won't be talking about 15 killed or 20 killed. We'll be talking about 100 killed or 200 killed.  Now, Joy, let me be very clear about what the Supreme Court is doing. Twenty years ago when my daughter was born, AR-15 sales were maybe 2 percent of all guns sold. In 2008, the Heller decision defined a phrase called common use. The industry went on a manufacturing binge to put these weapons into common use. That's 16 years ago.  Following that, they developed this technology to turn them into machine guns and today the Supreme Court said "have at it." More people are going to die. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's signature will be on their death certificate. For whatever reason, that man hates everything that makes America great, and this is going to be so deadly.  So I just want to say one more thing. There's a really simple solution. Every single person watching this show today needs to check your voter registration. Go online right now and do it. Check your voter registration, make sure you vote in November. Actually, make sure you vote early if you can because what this Supreme Court did is give MAGA the tools to potentially turn that time leading into the election into one where they're going to threaten this kind of violence. Vote early, vote absentee if you can, check your voter registration today.
