Last Saturday evening my wife and I were at a charity art auction at a private residence in Sierra Madre, California. We slipped away to explore the grounds, and happened upon this magnificent creature, whom we observed from a safe distance. A refreshing dip in the fountain after a hot day!

Yesterday after lunch, I walked to the federal building in downtown Los Angeles that has been at the center of the protests. I took this video.

The only National Guard I saw were those few in front of the entrance. No Marine presence. Minimal LAPD. Quiet streets.

Unfortunate and disappointing that "DEI" takes up so little character space and yet is missing even from the official sign graphic provided by HandsOff2025. Also the phrase "Civil Rights" is nowhere to be found.

President Trump thanks you for your service, Senator Schumer.
