"Why is a Massive Wall Being built at the Los Angeles VA and Not at Our Southern Border?...Who is really trespassing and loitering on Federal VA property? It’s curious that while congress refuses to fund money to build a wall to keep illegal aliens out of the USA, the City of LA is building a massive wall on VA property that essentially keeps war-injured homeless U.S. Military Veterans out of the Los Angeles VA. This is an International disgrace."

BOSCO IS PUTTING BELLFLOWER ON THE MAP. "DJ Uiagalelei leads St. John Bosco to win over De La Salle - "

"The last 10 years will be remembered in Southern California high school football as a period in which St. John Bosco's consistency thrust the Braves to a level unseen in school history.

They made it to seven consecutive Southern Section Division 1 finals, winning three times. They made it to three CIF state championship Open Division bowl games, going 3-0.

And it all happened after Negro was hired in 2010."
