Good night to everyone!😴

Hurricane conditions to begin this afternoon as Lowell's center will pass just west of Hawaii.

Happy Labor Day!

Did you know? Labor Day was first celebrated in the United States in 1882 in New York City and became a federal holiday in 1894. It was established to recognize the achievements and contributions of American workers and the labor movement.

This Labor Day, we proudly recognize the hardworking men and women whose dedication and service strengthen our communities each day. We honor the commitment, sacrifice, and countless contributions of those who work tirelessly to serve others and help make Los Angeles County a safer, stronger place to call home.

From all of us at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, we wish you and your families a safe and enjoyable Labor Day.

Celebrate responsibly. If you drink, don’t drive. Plan ahead and designate a sober ride home.

NEW: Stockton police arrested a man overnight after he allegedly hit an officer in the face while being taken into custody following a car crash.

HE WAS REMOVED FROM AMERICA SIX TIMES, came back AGAIN and later s*xually assaulted a severely disabled woman in Michigan. Then a federal judge gave him roughly five months of time served in his illegal reentry case.

Edys Renan Membreño Díaz had already been sentenced to six to 15 years in state prison for s*xually assaulting a woman with cerebral palsy and cognitive disabilities.

His separate federal case was for illegally returning to the United States after six prior removals.

Prosecutors wanted additional prison time.

Judge Judith Levy instead sentenced him to roughly five months of time served and praised him for supporting his family and working “jobs that Americans apparently do not want to work in.”

Then she told him, “I commend you.” WTH is going on with these judges?

Six removals had already failed. He came back again. A profoundly vulnerable woman became his victim.

And somehow the federal sentencing hearing ended with praise for HIM.

Federal prosecutors appealed.

This Labor Day, we honor the grit, skill, & spirit of the American worker, the backbone of our nation & the force behind our prosperity.

American workers deserve a government that fights for them - the Trump Admin is delivering.

To workers across America, thank you. 🇺🇸

Happy Labor Day, California!😡

Governor Gavin Newsom refuses to report the truth:

El Segundo-based 24 Hour Home Care is laying off 738 employees on September 15. The company, which employs roughly 30,000 caregivers across California, says an unexpected end to a major third-party service arrangement triggered the cuts.

And it’s not isolated.

Stanford Health Care is cutting 95 positions, John Muir Health is eliminating 78, Sharp HealthCare recently announced 168 layoffs, and Dignity Health cut another 139 positions at hospitals in Los Angeles and Bakersfield.

Taken together, that’s more than 1,200 recently announced healthcare jobs disappearing across California.

END OF WATCH: Deputy Terrian Bailey, C-16
September 7, 2026

Early this morning, the Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department suffered an unimaginable loss. We lost one of our very own to gun violence. Deputy Terrian Bailey made the ultimate sacrifice while courageously serving and protecting others.

In the midst of this tragedy and chaos, we want to honor Deputy Bailey’s unwavering dedication and commitment to Claiborne County, the very community he proudly served.

We are working diligently to ensure that no stone is left unturned. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation, and we will continue to work alongside them as this investigation moves forward.

Most importantly, we ask that you please keep Deputy Bailey’s family in your thoughts and prayers. They are suffering the greatest loss of all. Please also pray for the men and women of the Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department as we mourn the loss of our brother.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to every outside agency, first responder, and organization that immediately responded and provided resources and assistance during this difficult time. Your support has meant more than words can express.

Rest In Peace, Hero💙🖤

For all the things that divide us, grief is a universal language and a defining part of the human experience. At some point, every one of us will love someone we have to say an earthly goodbye to.

I am still learning how to walk through each day carrying the grief I feel for my Charlie. Some days I have a vague understanding of God’s plan, others I don’t, but I trust Him completely. He is my only strength. I also know grief can be lonely, and sometimes hearing someone else put words to it makes us feel a little less alone.

I wrote this for anyone who has lost someone they love, anyone sitting in grief now, and anyone who someday will.

Suffering does not get the final word.
Only God does.

He admitted to doing DISGUSTING things and having fantasies about children and CALIFORNIA'S PAROLE BOARD FOUND HIM SUITABLE FOR PAROLE ANYWAY.

David Funston was serving 68 years, eight months to life for kidnapping and s*xually abusing children as young as FOUR.

At his parole hearing, he discussed fantasies involving an 8-year-old girl who had once played with his daughter. He also acknowledged that he is still attracted to female children.

The board approved him.

Funston never made it onto the street because Placer County filed a new criminal charge and authorities took him into custody on the day he was scheduled for release.

Thank God somebody found a way to stop what the parole board was prepared to do.

REHABILITATION DOES NOT WORK. What is a just sentence for a man like this?
