L.A. Touts Itself as "Northern Capital of Latin America" for 2024 Olympic Bid

The International Olympic Committee just got an eyeful of the City of Angels.

Los Angeles is amazing and diverse. That is the message in a new promotional video released Monday by Los Angeles' 2024 Olympic bid organizers.

In the video, which is a little longer than a minute, L.A. is called the "western capital of the U.S., the northern capital of Latin America and the eastern capital of the Pacific Rim." All that is accompanied with visuals of some of the city's most iconic sites.

"Hosting the Games in Los Angeles would give our city the chance to show the world how much has changed in 40 years," Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a statement on the LA24 bid committee's website. "This bid is a bold vision for an innovative, sustainable and inspiring Los Angeles 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games that will benefit our community, the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Movement."

Rome, Paris, Hamburg, Germany, and Budapest, Hungary are also vying to host the 2024 games.

In late July, it was announced Boston was withdrawing its bid to host the games over financial concerns.

A host city will be selected by the International Olympic Committee in September 2017.

Los Angeles: The Westernmost in New Age Nonsense. The Easternmost in Corrupt Leftwing Bureaucracy.

The no longer funny joke surrounding Olympic games here a few decades ago was that Mexico didn’t need to send an official delegation as every Mexican who could run, jump or swim was ALREADY HERE.

Now, even the crippled and lame ones are here.

Since, historically, Monterey was, I guess that’s progress of some sort...

“Hosting the Games in Los Angeles would give our city the chance to show the world how much has changed in 40 years,”


the question is: Has LA changed for the better in these last 40 years????

LA will be a ghost town if President Trump deports all the illegals.

Yet during the ‘84 LA Olympics, Mexico didn’t send anybody.
Everybody who could run, jump or swim was already here.

It will not be long until the Mexican flag is raised over California’s public buildings, thus formalizing the conquest. At first the Mexican flag will be raised along side the American flag; ‘just to show our tolerance and celebration of Mexican love.’ After the remaining Americans return to their life of eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating the bowels and snoring the American flag will be lowered.

There you go, ICE. It’s right there in the headlines. All the illegals to keep you busy for the next 12 months. Naw, didn’t think you were interested. Just like you weren’t interested in all the protestor signs in espanol in Dallas yesterday. Why are we wasting tax dollars for them not to do their job.
