Today, I had the opportunity to connect with some extraordinary children during the annual “999 For Kids” Paw Patrol event hosted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Special Victims Bureau in collaboration with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). This heartwarming celebration aims to uplift the spirits of young heroes facing significant challenges due to severe disabilities, abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. This year, we had the privilege of welcoming 500 courageous children. Their resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity is nothing short of inspiring.

These remarkable children eagerly anticipate this special day every year, a unique opportunity to connect with our compassionate, uniformed deputies and dedicated staff members. During the event, they created unforgettable memories filled with joy meeting the jolly Santa Claus, playing in a delightful winter wonderland with real snow, exploring a charming petting zoo, face painting, and savoring a warm meal generously provided by McDonald’s.

The “999 For Kids” program serves as an essential beacon of hope, raising crucial funds to support these deserving children with necessary items and services. These resources include specialized sports wheelchairs, Braille machines to enhance learning, computers to facilitate educational growth, specially designed classes tailored for unique learning needs, and medically oriented toys and games to bring joy and comfort. Additionally, the program organizes a joyful annual Christmas party to ensure these children experience the magic of the holiday season. Through these compassionate efforts, we aim to bring light and support to our community’s most vulnerable members, helping nurture their spirits and enhance their quality of life.

NEW: ‘Defund the police’ activist goes viral after begging for help when everything she owned was stolen in San Francisco: ‘The cops didn’t do s—!’

When thieves made off with Darcie Bell’s rented U-Haul truck, the San Francisco woman put out a call for help on X: “If you see a 26 foot uhaul truck with the Arizona plate AL50003- would you let me know because it had like everything I own on it.”

The post went viral, but not for the reason she hoped for. Bell spent years posting left-wing “defund the police” views — and users across the site blasted and mocked the activist.

POLICE OFFICER INJURED IN ASSAULT

A Lawrence Kansas Police Department Officer is recovering from a broken nose and facial injuries after being attacked by a man.

"Police were called to a disturbance. Shortly after arriving, the officer saw the man witnesses had described aggressively approach another resident and the officer attempted to speak with him.

The suspect immediately attacked the officer and punched her several times in the face. The resident who was nearby helped get the suspect to the ground and back-up officers quickly arrived.  The suspect was uncooperative and a danger to himself and others so medics took him to the hospital to be sedated then we transported him to the Douglas County Correctional Facility. 

*Thank you* to the gentleman who helped our colleague. 💙

The officer was treated at the hospital for a broken nose and other lacerations then released."

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for her recovery. 🙏🏻

JUST IN: The Chiefs win the AFC West for the 9th straight season.

Lara Trump is stepping down as co-chair of the RNC. Look for some real big news very soon.

🔥Last week, Republican Sen. John Kennedy introduced the subtly named “No Propaganda Act.” If enacted, it would end federal funding for America’s public media.

He joined an effort by billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who are heading up an amorphous cost-cutting advisory group for President-elect Donald Trump and have also suggested that support for public media should be eliminated from the federal budget.

Musk’s suggestion and Kennedy’s bill got little press coverage for an understandable reason: It’s nothing new.

Kennedy is the latest in a long line of Republicans who have drafted legislation to defund NPR, PBS, their member stations and their primary funding mechanism, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Efforts to defund NPR and PBS have been raised by Republicans and successfully batted away by public media defenders with annual regularity for decades.

This time could be different. Republicans’ focus on the media has never been remotely this intense. While PBS has found some success on YouTube, NPR’s incomplete digital transformation, declining radio listenership, and high-profile political stumbles have left it weaker than ever. Now there’s greater concern among public radio figures than there has been in years about the future of NPR and public radio broadly.
