Spectrum isnt mainstream media but they certainly have taken a page from the liberal media. If your opinion is based solely on what they have written you are going to believe Ice blocked the ER entrance without cause ,no known reason for targeting the hospital. Just the violent Ice being out of control. The two arrested sound like an afterthought. Doesnt give any info about arresting the two and one requiring medical treatment. In years past I would automatically side with those speaking for our denomination. Being confident that representing SDA's as a whole whatever they said would be the truth as far as they knew. They would not lie outright, lie by omission, or rearrange the facts to present a false impression. My dad told me more than once to not have so much concern towards those on the outside ,but keep a close eye on those sitting next to you in the pew on sabbath morning. Reading the following those looking at this with the Trump sick hatred so many have puts a different spin on the whole story. Early Saturday morning, November 7, federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, blocked the ambulance bay of Adventist Health White Memorial Hospital and arrested two US citizens, according to multiple reports.

Unlikely to get that from a rabble-rousing press corps. I happened to see the entire Rodney King beating video, not the edited version which was usually shown. I also saw a picture of Trayvon Martin as he was when he was killed, not the ~10 year old photo usually displayed. Another video featured a knife wielding woman attacking officers. The story was spun to the public as another example of police brutality. They were incredibly patient and restrained in their dealings with her, a woman lunging at them with a butcher knife. The media has an agenda, a bully pulpit of sorts. The way they manipulate the news is essentially lying to the public.

I have stopped being surprised that the above is translated by SDA christians and other christians to mean " Come on In Door(Border) wide open. No need to assimilate, no need to work,no need to strive to educate youself and be a contributing citizen of the country you have chosen to live in. How many of those rushed to the polls not caring that some being voted in publically and proudly stated bringing into office a ideology the complete opposite of what this country has guarded and protected for 250 years.

1 ¶ Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to [execute] wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore [ye] must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 ¶ Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

I'd like to hear about it Joe, the cruel and unusual punishment of which you have firsthand knowledge.

Legendary sports broadcaster Dan Hicks died following an “acute illness,” his wife Hannah Storm shared Thursday, adding that his passing was “sudden and unexpected.”

A series of extraordinary, simultaneous disruptions has rattled the United States and the global economy today, halting domestic air travel, paralyzing international business operations, and exposing severe vulnerabilities across the world's most critical digital infrastructure.

In Philippines there are many examples of people making a video that is slightly critical of the country, and they are deported. Once your passport is stamped deported, many countries will refuse entry. There was a Russian who made a video making fun of a policeman. He was imprisoned without trail for 8 months in a bad place. Then deported. Then there is the guy in Korea in jail without trail for over a year for a disrespectful video. Let's not even talk about the cruel and unusual punishment the Chinese immigration does.

Do you think with some of the types of people they are after Please and thank you would be helpful. Before they got the phrase uttered they could find themselves face down on the sidewalk. Many they pick up are the worst human nature offers. More is expected of ICE dealing with those unlawfully here. It would be great if please and thank you would do it. But for many only physical brute force is what they understand, I can assure you, if one of these Asian countries had such serious immigration problems that the USA has, they would be much more brutal than these ICE agents. I am not exaggerating. Think about what you just said. Maybe one good reason they dont have our problem is those illegally coming to our country know where it is safe and they will be protected. They can receive free medical,free food, free housing, many of them killing our young women and children in very brutal ways. Here we have even our politicians,as ours did refusing to deport a man that had raped and killed a little girl. It isnt compasion,it is deliberate, practised stupidity that gives what is wanted by certain groups

That didn't seem to be the thinking when this was first posted. The way most of the reporting has been done on this you would think that ICE made a random decision to block the ER of this hospital. Someone will grab a headline or a sentence or two and run with it. Most certainly the media is aware of that. Just one headline concerning this would be enough ; This could certainly add fuel to a fire certain groups are anxious to start ICE agents showed up at a hospital in Los Angeles on Saturday and blocked off the ambulance entrance. KABC-TV, a Los Angeles TV station, reports that ICE showed up at about midnight at Adventist Health White Memorial Medical Center with a person in custody who needed medical treatment in the emergency room. A hospital spokesperson said federal agents blocked the entrance to the ER for two hours. The spokesman for the medical center again makes it sound as if they just decided to exercise a little muscle and block ER “When agents formed a line across our ambulance entrance, which we did not request nor authorize, we diverted ambulances to nearby hospitals for about two hours to ensure every patient received timely, respectful, and culturally sensitive care,” the spokesperson told NBC Los Angeles. The cause is always ignored. ICE just drove up to this hospital and blocked ER? We have had the peaceful mobs do this and block ambulances with patients inside, So far ICE has not been reported doing that Protesters soon showed up to object to the presence of ICE agents at the hospital, and one of the demonstrators, a teenage girl, was reportedly pepper-sprayed by agents and needed medical attention. Would be interesting to find out if this highly concerned mob was being paid. As in MN. Kind of reminds one of the hired mourners in the 1800's Hospital president Daniel Fontura said that agents entered the hospital, and wanted to be present when doctors were speaking with the patient in ICE custody. According to Fontura, hospital officials rebuffed the agents. “There was a time when ICE actually wanted to break protocol and be present with the physician in that sacred physician patient encounter and we said no,” Fontura said. He said that when ICE started to block access to ambulances and EMS vehicles, the hospital then contacted the Los Angeles Police Department for help.

November 13, 2026 By Sam Sifton Good morning. I’m going to start with the scandals at Nvidia. Manuel Orbegozo for The New York Times After the fall Don’t have “personal relationships” with people who work for you. That’s just one of the lessons Jensen Huang learned this week as scandal swallowed him whole and led him to resign yesterday as the chief executive of Nvidia, the chip supernova he co-founded 33 years ago. It’s bad enough to have an affair with a woman the U.S. authorities believe to be a spy for China. Your board will look into that. But if it looks as if you’re also torching company policy to get affectionate with subordinates? You’re done. (The Times cataloged other C.E.O.s who’ve been ousted for having relationships with people on their org charts.) It was, The Times noted, “the stunning fall of one of the most powerful figures in the A.I. boom.” Nvidia controls something like 90 percent of the market for computer chips that power artificial intelligence. Huang’s departure puts that dominance at risk. Shares of Nvidia, the second-biggest publicly-traded company in the world, were down more than 4 percent at yesterday’s market close. Nvidia, which Huang ran almost single-handedly, is an absolutely central player in the artificial intelligence boom. And it’s a linchpin in the contest between the U.S. and China for dominance in the sector. The company doesn’t just develop and sell those chips. It also acts as a kind of bank to finance the data centers that have become a real driver of U.S. economic growth. Now Colette Kress, Nvidia’s chief financial officer, will serve as interim chief executive while the board looks for a permanent replacement. Here are some of the potential candidates. (President Trump, who urged Huang to fight for his job, had an idea about where to pass the torch: to Tim Cook, the former chief executive of Apple. “A Legend replaces a Legend!” he wrote on social media.) The aftermath But remember the woman U.S. officials believe to be a Chinese spy? Her name is Alice Huang, and Washington is still very interested in her relationship with Jensen Huang — no relation — who has lobbied to loosen restrictions on the sale of A.I. chips to China. (This story explains how some Chinese spies use seduction to score intelligence and influence.) In December, Trump gave the company permission to sell one of its older chips there. But some of the Chinese firms that were allowed to buy them have empty offices in China. One led analysts to believe that it may be a front company. Others are tied to companies that are on a U.S. trade blacklist because of national security concerns. Alice Huang’s work has looked fishy for some time. Singapore, where her chip-importing company was based, took away her passport in June 2025 and held it for eight months while it asked the U.S. government for help investigating the firm. It believed she was funneling chips to China. Still, “Singapore has to date received limited information or assistance,” Singaporean officials said in a statement this week. After officials there learned that Trump had been told of the Huang-Huang affair and done nothing, they kicked Alice Huang out in February and told her not to come back. Yesterday, the Republican and Democratic leaders in the Senate both said Congress would want answers about Jensen Huang’s involvement with Alice Huang, even though he has resigned from Nvidia. Huang has already lawyered up, hiring two veteran litigators from Paul Weiss. According to their biographies, the lawyers have previously represented executives in government and internal investigations. More on the Nvidia scandal Critics say Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, and his department have shielded Nvidia as concerns have grown over A.I. chip sales to Asia. Here’s a timeline of Huang’s scandals.

You might want to bring a machete. Huntrix: Bonobos, known for their nonaggressive nature and matriarchal societies, are considered the hippies of the ape world. But new evidence shows that female bonobos are vicious hunters. Muckraking: Boss Tweed used New York as a personal piggy bank. The Times brought him down. We revisit the incredible story for The Times’s 175th anniversary. Your pick: The most clicked link in The Morning yesterday was about Jensen Huang’s wife, Lori Huang. Hired gun: Robert K. Brown, a Special Forces officer in the Vietnam War, founded Soldier of Fortune magazine and developed a following among combat veterans and avowed mercenaries who wanted to fight leftists abroad with guns and gonzo journalism. He died at 93. THE LATEST NEWS Politics Vice President JD Vance Kenny Holston/The New York Times Trump said he had pulled Vice President JD Vance off Iran peace negotiations to focus instead on investigating fraud in Democratic-run jurisdictions. Chris Van Hollen, a senator from Maryland, will challenge Chuck Schumer for Senate majority leader, setting up a leadership clash among Democrats. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an award to the soldier who scolded him and his entourage for laughing and talking near the Tomb of the Unknowns. Midterms Scott Colom’s historic Senate victory in Mississippi capped a series of wins for Democrats that have shaken Republican dominance across the South. Pollsters almost uniformly underestimated how well Democrats would do in the midterms. Why did they miss so badly? A former Maine governor flipped a House seat for Republicans in a rare midterm win for the party. Fewer election losers seem to be calling the winners to concede. (In a bygone era, such breaches of political decorum would have been inconceivable.) Around the World Daniel Berehulak/The New York Times In the Democratic Republic of Congo, aid groups are struggling to reach the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak. Our reporter is there. Ukraine is providing five million battlefield videos to defense companies at home and abroad to help train military A.I systems. Iran is punishing dissidents living abroad by seizing the assets of their family members still inside the country. The U.S. Army officer arrested in Britain on suspicion of trying to spy for Russia is a decorated Afghanistan war veteran. Other Big Stories Microsoft struggled to fix a global software outage affecting hundreds of millions of users. One person was killed and four wounded in a shooting at a gym in Washington, D.C., the police said. Mayor Zohran Mamdani pledged to raise pay for tens of thousands of workers who will carry out his plan for universal child care. But doing so requires more state funding. N.Y.C. BUILDING COLLAPSE Click this image to see how the search unfolded. Dave Sanders for The New York Times After a frantic search, New York City officials announced that they were ending their rescue efforts in a Brooklyn building collapse that killed eight people. They concluded there were no more victims. Hundreds of firefighters had searched for survivors, even as a downpour left shin-high pools of water near the site. Mayor Zohran Mamdani pledged an investigation, saying he was “incredibly troubled” by reports that construction continued even as inspectors discovered cracks in the building’s facade. This one image captures the devastation. OPINIONS Ezra Klein spoke to Hasan Piker about electoral charisma, anti-Zionism and the growing left wing in the Democratic Party.

TODAY’S NUMBER 16 — That is how many hours it takes, round-trip, for a Malawian farmer to bicycle to Mozambique to buy potatoes that he can sell back at home for about an $8 profit. We profiled a man who makes the trip as many as three times a week, hoping to save enough to buy drought-resistant seeds before the extreme weather expected from this year’s powerful El Niño. It’s not enough. SPORTS Soccer: Mauricio Pochettino, the coach of the U.S. men’s team, is expected to sign a 2.5-year contract with Manchester United and succeed Michael Carrick. The club will pay the U.S. federation about $10 million to buy out Pochettino’s contract.

Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller star. “His characters are ordinary men and women, not gods and heroes, yet their fates are no less tragic and the very stuff of American myth,” Manohla Dargis writes. I’ll get the popcorn. More on culture In France, a lot of funding for culture goes to Paris, leaving rural communities starved for art.

I understand why people are upset with this. But let me tell you, as a person who has traveled to many countries. Immigration agents are some of the rudest and meanest people I have ever dealt with. Japan is such a friendly country, except one group of people. You better not cross them. In some places just talking rude (many places in Asia) is justification for removal. I can assure you, if one of these Asian countries had such serious immigration problems that the USA has, they would be much more brutal than these ICE agents. I am not exaggerating.

This is why I never accepted it. It is clearly different from the rest.

Where is that? I would like to study that !!!
