Maybe while the mayor is there she can get someone to take care of the park... Maybe plant some grass?

@Sandy Loam, are you a Maynard fan?

You’re a shoo-in! Unfortunately, there’s no way you’d quit the job that allows you to post all day on a lightly trafficked message board to work a real job.

Yeah, I’m sure the future gang bangers going to camp in that dirt hole were traumatized by ICE, not the homeless encampments all over that shitthole city.

Oh hell yeah. I've got like four of his albums, my favorite being "MF Horn II."

All us trumpet players in high school wanted to be him. He was like the Eddie Van Halen of the trumpet, with more control over those crazy high notes than any trumpeter before him.

Even got to see him live once.

His stuff still sounds good.

Thank you. I would've posted this had you not. 

 

Someone left my cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took too long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again

Jimmy Webb has written some great songs (By The Time I Get To Phoenix, Whichita LinemanUp And Away) but this was not one of them.

That said, it is, arguably, his most successful and best remembered song. Actor Richard Harris first recorded it in 1968 and had #2 US Billboard Hot 100 hit.

Fun Fact: Webb wrote the tune fot The Association after being asked by the group's producer, Bones Howe, to create a pop song with different movements and changing time signatures. Webb delivered "MacArthur Park" to Howe with "everything he wanted", but Howe did not care for the ambitious arrangement and unorthodox lyrics. Ultimately, the song was rejected by the group.

Here is Richard Harris' original recording.

Webb’s best song ever was “P.F. Sloan”.

Has anyone mentioned that MS-13 frequents MacArthur Park?

LA Times from 4 years ago:  https://www.facebook.com/latimes/posts/to-ms-13-macarthur-park-is-not-just-a-territory-but-a-source-of-revenue-the-gang/10159961600288010/

NY Post today:

Quote

Immigration agents who flooded a Los Angeles park on Monday said they were there as a “show of force” to protect residents from MS-13 gangbangers and open air drug markets — before they were furiously confronted by Mayor Karen Bass.

The grandstanding Democratic mayor tried to banish the ICE and Border Patrol officials, who descended on MacArthur Park Monday, in a chaotic scene, blasting the operation as “un-American.”

But ICE and Border Patrol sources told The Post that they were there to try and help clean up the park, which has long been plagued by gang activity, homelessness and drug addicts overdosing on fentanyl and animal tranquilizers.

“This pisses me off. She is scared for the kid’s safety … due to immigration officials at the park, but never scared for their safety when the park is filled with homeless, drugs, MS-13 and violence,” a federal law enforcement source fumed.

“Make it make sense,” they added.

“That park is very famous, but full of druggies, homeless and people selling fake documents,” said another fed source, adding that Bass “wants to stay relevant, but we’re not going anywhere.”

Last August, Bass visited the park after the owner of Langer’s Deli, Norm Langer, threatened to shut the doors of his popular eatery after almost 80 years in business due to safety concerns, the LA Times reported.

The mayor even admitted she was aware of businesses in the area having to “essentially pay gang members” in order to stay open.

“I’m not an attorney, but it sounds like extortion to me, and it needs to be addressed immediately,” she said at the time.

A local security guard also told the LA Times that he often faces violent interactions with drug addicts — and carries Narcan in his pocket to revive overdose victims.

“I’ve had knives pulled on me, I’ve had people try to stab me with a screwdriver, and just the other day I got hit with a wooden bat,” Gabriel Sanchez said.

Almost a year after Bass promised to clean up MacArthur Park, she berated the presence of federal law enforcement officers, yelling at the agents on Monday to leave and stop their “political stunt.”

“What I saw in the park today looked like a city under siege,” the mayor told reporters following the confrontation.

The left has gone full Communist much faster than I expected.  LITERALLY.  How many times have we heard that it's not happening and every year the Democrat Party stocks more and more Marxists and Communists in its membership.  Unbelievable.

We need Joseph McCarthy back. Turns out he was right - just 60 years too early.

They let the nuts out of their cages because of Trump! Anyone opposed to him gets a head nod of approval no matter how ridiculous. Or violent.

Remember when @The Real timschochet said that Americans only support deporting violent criminals??? Pepperidge farms does 

whoops. CNN 

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL2zRQQsy4O/?igsh=NTdjejFxNHpnc2F2

but he had a leftist poll saying other wise 

Actually it was a CNN poll, the most recent one we have: 

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/11/politics/deportations-trump-polling-analysis

Other recent polls are even more definitive. The screen shot you reposted of a broadcast was from several months ago. Once Americans realized that Trump meant to go through with deporting people who are not violent criminals, the majority turned against it, according to what I’m reading. On the other hand of you have a recent actual poll (not an Instagram screenshot) within the last month that shows otherwise I would like to see it. I’ve always accepted that the public doesn’t agree with me on this issue so it would not shock me, but I’m heartened by the change of opinion. I’m hoping that as people start to see the economic effects it will grow. 
 

Americans are often slow to do the right thing but in the end we usually do. That’s why unlike some liberals these days who are justifiably frustrated I remain optimistic and proud of my country. We’ll get there.

But Jerry, the problem isn’t with rounding up MS-13 members. It’s with rounding up other folks who aren’t. It’s with grouping them altogether. Folks like @Engorgeous George and others around here seem perfectly fine with that. I’m not. I regard it as racism.

A long time ago a bunch of idiots bought what the Africans were selling and brought them here. That is completely different than the current day  illegals storming our borders. ;)

For you to even compare the two is lunacy.

More good news: despite his talk to the base, Trump himself is now leaning strongly towards ending deportations for non-violent criminals:

He gets it even if MAGA doesn’t, hopefully.
