Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

To the editor:

In leading his city's official opposition to the state's so-called sanctuary law, Los Alamitos Mayor Troy Edgar remarks that he was impressed that "our city has got behind us." ("Politicians who sparked anti-'sanctuary state' wave in California to meet with Trump," May 14)

I do not deny there are people in Los Alamitos who oppose the sanctuary law, but it should be pointed out that whenever and wherever city councils take up this issue, many supporters and opponents descending upon otherwise lightly attended meetings come from outside the city.

As much as people like to talk about local politics and local issues, it is clear that the president and his attorney general have made this a national issue; the practical issue of how local police departments are to do their job is wholly ignored.

Mayor Edgar says he hopes his meeting with President Trump will be productive. Productivity has nothing to do with it. The president will turn him into a prop for his insensitive, anti-immigrant policies. It is shameful for a mayor to travel across the country to engage in a photo-op for hatred.

Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI “SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN EMBEDDED INFORMANT.” Andrew McCarthy says, “There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.” If so, this is bigger than Watergate!

Here are highlights from Stage 11 of the Giro d'Italia.

Here is Ann Coulter's latest column.

In response to Gregory Saul’s letter (May 15, “Trump Can Deal”) regarding Dear Leader Trump’s negotiating successes, is he including the six bankruptcies of Trump companies; the failure of Trump University and the $25 million settlement of fraud claims; and the failure of the Trump Shuttle airline, Trump Vodka, Trump Mortgage, “Trump: The Game,” Trump Steaks and too many more to mention?

Yes, Mr. Trump is the wunderkind of negotiating and deal-making, a master businessman without doubt. Carnegie, Rockefeller and Jobs would shudder in envy of his prowess. Thank God he is here to save America for the Russians and Chinese.

Congratulations to Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania. He will be a great Senator and will represent his people well – like they haven’t been represented in many years. Lou is a friend of mine and a special guy, he will very much help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
