I don’t want to sound self-congratulatory, but leaving Los Angeles 23 years ago? Definitely a wise choice.
I foresaw the chaos.
My decision to exit the city I had called home for 13 years came shortly after a harrowing incident at a Malibu restaurant. While picking up a takeout order with my young daughter, I was confronted by four men who were, at least in my estimation, illegal immigrants. In a swift, desperate move, I managed to shove my daughter into the safety of my car with one arm while fending off the attackers with the other. I accelerated away, narrowly avoiding their grasp.
I felt compelled to share this experience in the Malibu Times, hoping to alert my community about the potential dangers we were facing. The response? A deluge of letters from liberal critics labeling me a “racist” simply for describing my attackers’ ethnicity and referring to them as “illegal aliens.”
Not a single letter expressed concern for my daughter’s safety.
In that moment, I realized Los Angeles was in decline. It was overrun with individuals who seemed oblivious to the reality of the situation—people who appeared intent on self-destruction.
With that realization, I made plans to relocate to Las Vegas. That was 23 years ago, and I’ve never looked back. It’s proven to be the best decision I’ve ever made.
Financially speaking, I’ve saved over $1 million in state income and property taxes thanks to that move, given that Nevada has no state income tax.
To add a twist of irony, both my former Malibu homes have succumbed to wildfires since my departure.
Clearly, escaping from Los Angeles was a stroke of genius.
After witnessing the violent protests and riots in Los Angeles last weekend—cars ablaze, police and ICE officers under siege, and protesters waving Mexican flags—my prediction stands: every sensible person still in Los Angeles will soon be plotting their escape to Vegas or neighboring red states like Texas, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and Montana.
Before delving into a proposal I sent to President Trump, let me share a tweet I posted regarding the recent demonstrations…
“RAW TRUTH: It’s astonishing to see individuals who entered our country due to dissatisfaction with their own nations, now brandishing Mexican flags while rioting in LA. If you hold Mexico in such high regard, why not return? Why protest to remain here? You should be waving American flags and expressing gratitude for this great country. Clearly, your feelings are less about appreciation and more about entitlement. P.S. If I were to wave an American flag while rioting in Mexico, I’d likely face dire consequences.”
Now, onto my proposal. I communicated this idea to President Trump on Sunday morning…
We must convey that such anarchic behavior will no longer be tolerated. Identifying and arresting the individuals involved in these violent acts is essential. We must deport them.
Over the weekend, President Trump made a commendable announcement about deploying National Guard and U.S. Marines to “liberate” Los Angeles from this foreign incursion.
He also proposed a ban on masks at these protests and riots. No more hiding behind anonymity while causing chaos and disrespecting our nation. Bravo.
However, I would suggest taking it a step further.
Law enforcement agencies—be it police, ICE, National Guard, or Marines—should utilize water cannons filled with blue dye to soak the protesters and rioters. Imagine the spectacle of everyone painted bright blue.
They’d resemble the “Blue Man Group” from Las Vegas!
With their new blue appearance, they would be nearly impossible to miss. Law enforcement could easily track their movements.
I’d also propose adding a skunk odor to the water mix.
Now not only would these individuals stand out visually, but they would also carry an unmistakable stench. Good luck finding a place to hide!
Law enforcement would be able to spot these individuals from blocks away, aided by their distinctive scent!
Finally, it’s time to consider giving them “the January 6th treatment.” If we’re playing by the same rules, those waving Mexican flags in LA are the real traitors and insurrectionists—foreign invaders with no legitimate right to be here.
Just as peaceful January 6th protesters were treated, let’s place these individuals in solitary confinement for an extended period without trial. Remember, this was the treatment meted out to peaceful Trump supporters. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
And once they’re convicted—and they will be, especially with blue-painted mug shots as evidence—let’s arrange for them to be transported via Con Air to destinations like Mexico, Venezuela, Gaza, or even a maximum-security prison in El Salvador.
This is how to manage foreign intruders and domestic threats. It’s time to restore order to our streets.
This anarchy ends NOW—with a splash of blue paint and a whiff of skunk.
