Democrats and their allies in the establishment media have been pushing hard for mail-in balloting for the 2020 presidential election.Despite the high potential for fraud, the ineptitude of the U.S. Postal Service and the difficulty some voters have with properly filling out and sending back their ballots, many states have done away with restrictions on who can cast absentee ballots, and several states are mailing ballots to every registered voter.Amid the whole convoluted setup comes an incident out of Baldwin Park, California, where firefighters say someone intentionally chucked a burning newspaper into a ballot drop box, potentially destroying dozens of ballots inside, KABC-TV reported.KCBS-TV said authorities including the...

Thieves broke into a Baldwin Park American Legion post, an organization that helps veterans and their families. Those thieves cleared out a rifle rack and a safe.

And that was money for them,” said Avalar. Also in the safe were important documents....

The family-owned chain has been successful enough to spawn a famous commercial jingle, earn several loving write-ups in the New York Times and have its burgers served to A-list celebs at swanky post-Oscar parties. The great taste hasn't changed, but the mystique that inspired our carnivorous cross-valley quests sure has. The earlier, spartan drive-throughs, which once kept us at arm's length, a sheet of glass sealing off the inner sanctum where clean-cut workers frenetically packed the grill with meat patties, has given way to brightly lighted indoor seating no different from the national fast-food chains. The fabled secret menu, for...

BALDWIN PARK, CALIF. – For a dozen years, a 20-foot monument has stood quietly at the rail stop in this predominantly Latino city. Ray Leyba had never bothered to read it - even though he lives next door. It wasn't until the monument became the focus of a group raging against illegal immigration that he walked across the street and looked at one inscription: "This land was Mexican once, was Indian always and is, and will be again." Mr. Leyba was surprised, but his response pales in comparison to the recent fury launched at the slab of concrete by Save...

BALDWIN PARK - About 60 anti-illegal immigrant activists demonstrating against a public art piece they say is unpatriotic were met with about 600 dancing, chanting and drum-beating opponents. The peaceful face-off Saturday was sparked by a 12-year-old arch at the Baldwin Park Metrolink station, entitled "Danza Indigenas." It was the second protest by the Ventura County-based group Save Our State of the archway in the last two months. Save Our State wants the inscription removed, alleging that the engravings are anti-American. In particular, they have focused on the phrases, "It was better before they came" and "This land was Mexican...

As the insults flew and the protest reached a boil, Joseph Turner couldn't help but smile. The 29-year-old head of the upstart Save Our State organization had come to Baldwin Park to pick a fight over illegal immigration. He had led a band of like-minded souls into the heart of the city to protest public art they deemed "seditious and anti-American." Part of a monument at the Metrolink station is inscribed "It was better before they came," interpreted by some as a barb at whites who displaced California's Mexican residents in the 19th century. They got all of the fight...

A Ventura County group's vow to force Baldwin Park to remove an inscription at a Metrolink station is based on an error, artist says. Set at the junction of two freeways and along a major railroad route, the working-class town of Baldwin Park likes to call itself "the Hub of the San Gabriel Valley." But the city, about 15 miles east of downtown Los Angeles and nearly 80% Latino, today finds itself the hub of an increasingly bitter fight over illegal immigration. For nearly two months, Save Our State, a Ventura County-based group opposed to illegal immigration, has been demanding...

BALDWIN PARK -- About 50 teenage trailblazers wearing red armbands braved the heat Thursday to march through the city, demanding justice for more than 300 women who lived and died almost a world away. Baldwin Park High School's MEChA club worked throughout the school year to become a voice for the women and girls of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, who for more than 10 years have been sexually assaulted and murdered. Police still have no viable suspects. The students held school presentations to make their classmates aware. On Thursday, they carried black crosses with the names of each of the female...
