A Trumper named Kim Sorgente has been arrested for “assault with a deadly weapon” at the Santa Ana “Stop the Steal” rally last Dec. 6, according to Vern Nelson, the Editor of the Orange Juice Blog.

Sorgente allegedly bashed a Santa Ana resident over the head with his megaphone when the guy was trying to escape to safety.

Apparently Sorgente was found when he was protesting outside the O.C. Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.

Sorgento is in custody at Theo Lacy (booking #3193242, case #21CF0788). Arraignment set for today in CJ1, C59. His bail has been increased to $125K. The OCDA prosecutor told the Judge that Sorgente is probably wanted by the FBI for assault on a federal officer on Jan. 6. The Judge declared him a danger to the public and raised his bail!

The FBI arrested a Costa Mesa Trumper who rioted in the U.S. Capitol

Christian Secor, 22, a UCLA student from Costa Mesa, has been arrested by the FBI due to his alleged participation in the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Secor is facing five federal offenses after he rioted in the Capitol and was seen inside the building, on the Senate floor and also sitting on former Vice President Mike Pence’s chair in the Senate chambers during the insurrection, according to CBS News.

Footage and images recorded during the riot at the Capitol show Secor forcing his way past at least three police officers blocking a set of double doors leading into the building while wearing a red hat bearing the slogan “Make America Great Again,” according to the O.C. Register.

Secor broadcasted a livestream from the Capitol during the riot using a fake name of a man who murdered six people in Isla Vista, back in 2014. He had bragged that he would not be caught!

Secor was repeatedly accused of inciting racism through comments and tweets about immigrants and Jews last year at UCLA where he also founded a student group called America First Bruins at the university. Secor has openly espoused white supremacy views online as well.

Secor is being held without bail after his first hearing at the federal court in Santa Ana.

Secor is among more than 200 defendants accused of participating in the attack on the U.S. Capitol, which caused dozens of injuries and resulted in the death of a Capitol police officer.

The FBI has posted pictures of the Capitol riot Trumpers online. Several Orange County residents have already been arrested and more are likely to be charged soon.

ORANGE COUNTY, CA – Hon. Fred Whitaker, Chairman of the Republican Party of Orange County, releases the following statement in response to the proposed $479 million bond for the Santa Ana Unified School District:

In order to do so, a resolution to place the bond on the ballot will go before the Santa Ana School Board this month.

To the Owners of ESports /Santa Ana – Tyler Endres and Paul Ward

Re: Make Cali Great Event at ESports “Summer of Conservatism”

Note – a friend wrote this on Facebook but asked us to keep her name out of it

Upon learning that your establishment was being rented to the Make Cali Great organization for their “Summer of Conservatism” event. I, along with other community members of Santa Ana became extremely alarmed and upset to see that your venue (the ESports Arena in DTSA) would be given hate speech a platform to speak in the middle of Downtown Santa Ana/LA CUATRO.

The event highlighted keynote speaker Kyle Chapman a.k.a. “Based Stickman” who became famous when he got arrested in Berkeley for assault with a deadly weapon after hitting a protestor in the head. He is currently out on bail. Continue reading→

The Trumpers are coming to DTSA on July 9 to complain about immigration

Posted on May 26, 2017 by Editor Posted in Politics, Republican Party, Santa Ana 6 Comments

It is hard to believe this but apparently a bunch of very right-wing conservatives are hosting a “Make Cali Great” event called the “Summer of Conservatism” at the eSports Arena, in Downtown Santa Ana on July 9, 2017, right across from Mariscos Hector, to talk about subjects including Sanctuary State Policies, Over Taxation, Voter Fraud, 2nd Amendment Rights, Illegal Immigration, and Conservative Activism.

Do these people realize that the Santa Ana City Council recently declared Santa Ana to be a Sanctuary City? And that the Santa Ana City Council cost our city several million dollars a year by canceling a contract with ICE to hold their detainees at our City Jail? Continue reading→

The Santa Ana Educator’s Association – the union that represents local public school teachers at the SAUSD, spent months attacking SAUSD Trustee Ceci Iglesias and her fellow conservative Republican, Angie Cano, while promoting their own slate of SAUSD School Board candidates – Rigo Rodriguez, Mark McLoughlin and Alfonso Alvarez. But in the end Iglesias emerged as the top vote-getter in the 2016 General Election while Cano barely lost by only 183 votes.

As for the teacher’s slate, only Rodriguez and Alvarez emerged victorious (assuming that Cano doesn’t edge out the latter when the final vote tally is announced this week).
