• The Los Angeles Rams were a major draw at the Coliseum, led by stars like Norm Van Brocklin and Elroy “Crazylegs” Hirsch.
• The Brooklyn Dodgers hadn’t yet moved west (they’d come in 1958), but L.A. fans followed them closely via radio.
• Landmarks & Development:
• Disneyland opened in nearby Anaheim (July 17, 1955), creating a massive cultural and tourism shift for the Los Angeles region.

A Gaston County paramedic died in Florida after a car hit her while she was trying to provide medical aid to a crash victim on Monday, Nov. 17.

Mary Jolly, 27, was a decorated paramedic with Gaston County Emergency Medical Services (GEMS).  

Jolly was in Brevard County, outside Orlando, when there was a collision on I-95 early Saturday morning. Jolly was providing aid to a driver when another car hit her. 

Jolly was a paramedic on the swift water team and was named B-Shift Outstanding Paramedic in 2023. 

“Mary represented the finest qualities of our EMS professionals – dedication, courage, and a commitment to caring for every person she encountered," Deputy County Manager Vincent Wong said. "We are heartbroken by her passing. On behalf of Gaston County, we honor her service and extend our deepest sympathies to her family and to every member of our public safety team.”

Rest In Peace, Hero🤍🖤

*NEWS INTERRUPTION*

Officer Jason Zullo spent years protecting the people of East Haven, Connecticut — earning commendations, saving lives, and serving with honor.

But when Jason and three of his fellow officers uncovered a major illegal immigrant crime ring (forged driver’s licenses, fake registrations, and insurance scams tied to dangerous criminals), that’s when everything changed.

Instead of being thanked, they were attacked.

Obama’s Department of Justice swooped in and accused the officers of racism.

They ignored the facts, ignored the evidence, and launched a political witch hunt to make an example out of them.

Jason Zullo — a decorated officer and father — was charged, convicted, and sent to prison for doing his job.

His career was destroyed. His reputation was shattered. His family was torn apart.

And to this day, his name is not cleared.

He can’t coach his kids’ sports teams. He can’t travel freely. Every job application is haunted by a decade-old conviction that never should have happened.

This was lawfare — political persecution against a police officer who refused to play politics.

Now, with a pro-police president back in office, there’s finally a chance to right this wrong.

Officer Jason Zullo and the three other East Haven officers who were railroaded by Obama’s DOJ deserve a FULL exoneration.

Here’s some of what your FBI did as an excepted agency during the record long government shutdown:

-3419 arrests
-279 children identified and/or located
-170 kilograms of fentanyl seized
-2,100 kilograms of meth seized
-2,200 kilograms of cocaine seized
-908 illegal weapons recovered

This was all while the vast majority weren’t getting paid. But these men and women kept showing up and delivering for the country. I’m proud of their service to America and the best is yet to come.

FBI Director Kash Patel
