Manuel Baltazar has been released by the Los Angeles County Sheriff from his unjust incarceration at the Pitchess Detention Center. Was this due to our commentary of last month (see link below)? To the hundreds of letters written by our readers, church groups and government leaders, both domestically and from Mexico? Was it the result of God’s Providence recognizing the injustice and in answer to our collective prayers? Or, was it all of the above? |

By Gregory Rodriguez: If a Hillary Clinton campaign official told a reporter that white voters never support black candidates, would the media have swallowed the message whole? What if a campaign pollster began whispering that Jews don't have an "affinity" for African American politicians? Would the pundits have accepted the premise unquestioningly? |
