The police blocked off traffic coming to the peninsula by the Bridge coming from the 55.

As protests around the country continue– because three of the four cops have not yet been charged with murdering a man in broad daylight on video– Newport Beach protests are scheduled for today.

We reported this weekend that the City of Newport Beach was performing a shakedown operation on the organizers of a boat parade.  The city, seeing a parade being organized, said through a very harshly worded public announcement that a permit was required so that the city can “[…]work out safety measures with the organizers and to clarify where the parade …

Thank you to the more-than 2.5 million soldiers who have signed on the line and given everything for this country throughout its history– and the countless families that have had to endure the stress between contact from their loved ones, and the awful news when it came. We can all argue about whether or not wars were justified, but the spirit …
