I’m so excited that California will be the model for the rest of the United States in the Biden administration.

Let’s see how well California is doing in the first days of 2021.

Tonight, we are saddened to share some shocking crime stats.

16 days into 2021, and Homicides in South LA are up 150% compared to last year.

Victims Shot in South LA are up 742% compared to last year.

This tragic continuation of gun violence, primarily concentrated in our most disadvantaged neighborhoods, must stop.

That’s not good.  Not for law-abiding citizens at least.

2020 was a banner year for homicides and 2021 is already breaking 2020 records.

If California portends for America the future of this country is a very high chance of getting murdered by a felon with multiple convictions, who was let out of prison because of COVID, to make room for all the people with no criminal history being thrown in prison because they didn’t wear a mask when going for a jog or driving alone in their cars.
