Washington, DC...My Fellow Americans, Protecting the safety and well-being of American Citizens is my highest duty as President. Yet, lawless sanctuary jurisdictions are nullifying federal law, obstructing immigration enforcement, and releasing thousands of criminal aliens into U.S. communities to prey on innocent victims. It’s absolutely terrible. For example, in recent days, San Francisco officials denied ICE’s request to turn over a criminal alien with a prior conviction for battery and a charge for driving under the influence.

San Andreas, CA...We have had several requests for the link to the Battle For The Badge debate video. It is below and we are also gong to put a permanent link on the right side of our main page. Our county should feel gratitude that there are 3 qualified men that care enough about their communities to throw their hats in the ring and run for the office of Sheriff. The candidates are Gary Stevens, Pat Garrahan and appointed Sheriff Rick Dibasilio. Thank You to all of you who emailed in questions!! Of the 70 or so questions we tried to distill them down into the dominate themes such as school safety, cannabis, staffing, vision for the department & more. All three men would provide quality and qualified leadership to the department. The choice is yours and hopefully the video from last night can help you make that decision. We would like to thank Ed Lark and his crews at PATV for not only recording the show for local television but for preparing sound system and venue for last night. Thank You to all of you who attended in person and take the time to watch the video below...
