Watching a Horrifying Crisis in Los Angeles, the New York Times... Almost Kind Of Sees It
Long and detailed story in the New York Times Magazine, today, about “the Blade,” the long stretch of a South Los Angeles boulevard that serves as the site of a shocking amount of child prostitution. In recent years, the story warns, “officers had seen the magnitude of child sex trafficking explode.”
The Times reporter embeds with LAPD vice officers who try to rescue minors from their pimps, and she watches the horror of that daily grind. Sample observation:
In the shadows, Figueroa had become more violent. The younger the girl, the more customers would pay, which meant preteens were often being robbed and assaulted by groups of older girls trying to make quota. The traffickers who governed the street were worse.
Tonight Ana was waving at cars in front of a tire shop when a trafficker pulled up on the wrong side of the street, climbed out and beat one of the girls near Ana over the head with a pistol. The girl had probably looked at him wrong, Ana decided. She knew better than to intervene.
Watching 12 year-olds get beaten by their pimps on the sidewalk, reporter Emily Baumgaertner Nunn suddenly finds some things that she can’t quite see, hazy things waaaay off in the distance. Here’s a description of a problem cops are having as they try to intervene:
Their jobs grew even more challenging when California repealed the law allowing the police to arrest women who loitered with the intent to engage in prostitution. The repeal, known as SB 357, was intended to prevent profiling of Black, brown and trans women based on how they dressed. But when it was implemented in January 2023, the effect was that uniformed officers could no longer apprehend groups of girls in lingerie on Figueroa, hoping to recover minors among them.
Who repealed the law? California did. Spontaneously, as a geographic area. The mountains and the deserts decriminalized loitering with intent.
Back on earth, SB 357 was authored by Senator Scott Wiener, a consistent advocate for laws that make sex between adults and minors less risky for the adults. Wiener is extremely pleased that 12 year-olds in California can get their abortions, contraception, and STD medications without mommy and daddy finding out:

🚨 Get to know California Senator, Scott Wiener! 🤮
Wiener is California's most harmful senator for our children. Wiener is responsible for bills removing parents as their child's gatekeepers, lowering the age of consent for minors, and mutilating children's perfectly healthy body parts in California without parents' knowledge or consent, and attempts to decriminalize pedophilia, which Wiener refers to as a ‘minor attracted individual’.
🚨 Gay Bondage Enthusiast Who Is Working On Legalizing Sex With Minors Wins Democrat Primary for Nancy Pelosi’s House Seat
Nancy Pelosi has occupied a seat in the House of Representatives for nearly four decades. When she finally retires in January, a gay bondage enthusiast will likely take her place.
California Democrats on Tuesday chose State Senator and far-Left LGBT activist Scott Wiener as their party’s nominee to replace Pelosi, giving him over 43% of their vote and essentially guaranteeing his November victory. Wiener defeated a small handful of opponents, including a former chief of staff to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
As a California lawmaker, Wiener has supported proposals to make the Golden State a sanctuary jurisdiction for children seeking sex-change surgeries, allow men in women’s prisons, insert drag queen classes into grade-school education, and provide exemptions from the sex offender registry. We would rather not imagine the kinds of bills he will introduce in Congress.

🚨 STEVE HILTON JUST ERUPTED ON CALIFORNIA'S ELECTIONS TAKING WEEKS TO "COUNT"
"It's just unbelievable! And of course, that's why so many people don't believe the results. But it just undermines confidence!"
"There's no excuse for it, except this is the kind of thing I think you get with 16 years of one party rule, this corrupt Democrat machine in power. For so long, they just lose touch with the reality."
"They don't realize how ridiculous this all seems to normal people."
It has to change. Hopefully SCOTUS steps in and invalidates "election month!" We need an election day in America again.
AI and robots will do all jobs by 2030.
You will not have a job.
All information work will be done by AI.
All office buildings will be empty.
All physical work will be done by robots.
All cars will be autonomous.
And we will finally be free.
I challenge every single person who believes minors should be enabled and even encouraged to transition to read this first person testimony to the end.
