The Santa Monica City Council voted to approve a temporary pay increase of $5 per hour for grocery and drug store employees in the city. A similar measure in Long Beach resulted in Kroger (parent company of Food-4-Less and Ralphs) closing two stores in less affluent parts of Long Beach. Sponsored by Kevin McKeown last week, the "Hero Pay" measure is similar to a temporary urgency ordinance that Los Angele County Supervisors approved on Jan. 26. It applies to unincorporated...
Passover 2021 will begin in the evening of Saturday, March 27. This year, Easter Sunday falls on the last day of Passover; Sunday April 4, 2021. That is, for most Christians; Eastern Orthodox rites celebrate it a little later. Passover commemorates the central miracle in Judaism: The exodus from Egypt, as orchestrated by God through Moses. Easter celebrates the main miracle in Christianity: The Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the U.S., Christmas tends to get...
When Lady Gaga’s dog walker Ryan Fisher was shot by a couple in a white Nissan, he may not have known that the purpose of the assault was to steal her dogs. Fisher is expected to make a complete recovery. Lady Gaga meanwhile has offered $500,000 for the return of her two French bulldogs, no questions asked. Fisher was walking three dogs owned by Lady Gaga, when he was shot four times in the chest before two men stole two of the singer's French bulldogs. Two suspects fled t...
The number of Covid-19 cases is declining in LA County. Schools in Santa Clarita opened one day a week Monday. The Big Blue Bus Company in Santa Monica is now charging fares again. Passengers no longer need enter through the rear door. They enter up front and pay the bus driver, again. The number of coronavirus cases and deaths appear to be declining, just as the lockdowns reach a one year anniversary on March 16th. Cases and deaths have fallen 70% in six weeks. MTA busses in...

The footage may be seen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/lcalco/best_footage_of_an_ufo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 In the footage, a woman points to a oblong object seemingly following the airplane about a kilometer away, off the starboard side.

The Weeknd's super weird, Superbowl half time show made no sense to anyone. The guys marching in masks was half Michael Jackon's Thriller, Half pandemic fears. It sucked as much as Bruce Springsteen's let's all get together ad, but we watched anyway because we had nothing better to do. Is anyone else has lost as I was? I turned on the TV to see some Canadian guy in a field full of people wearing masks in redcoats marching around the field. Completely not sure what it supposed...
Tonight tonight the highway's bright. Out of our way mister you best keep! 'Cause summer's here and the time is right, For racing in the street. -- Bruce Springsteen, Racing in the Streets. If you're young and in high school or college, street racing has become the thing to do to get out of the house during this pandemic. There are reports of street racing in Pacoima, in South LA and East LA. The cars are often modified. They spin out and turn donuts as a mostly male, mostly m...
The newly minted billionaires on wallstreetbets.com/reddit, have gotten really in your face with the hedge fund guys. After attracting the ire of Nancy Pelosi and accolades from everyone else from Sen. Ted Cruz to AOC; they have started buying billboards with the money earned from the world's most massive short squeeze. "$GME to the moon!" reads a new billboard in Denver, Colorado. Hold your chicken tendies, there are Stonks to buy. What is all this stuff about "My wife's...
Some say we Americans are fascinated with winners. But sometimes we are just as fascinated with losers. Take Bernie Sanders, for example. The old communist has run for President since I was in Grade school, never coming closer than runner up for the Democratic nomination. But now the commie from Vermont is making bank (for charity) off his cold discomfort on January 21. During the Inauguration of Joe Biden on January 20, 2021, a photograph of Vermont senator Bernie Sanders...
You may have noticed the block apartment building that replaced Denny's at the corner of Lincoln and Colorado Avenue, on your way to the 10 Freeway. It’s hard to miss. The thing blocks out all the light from the West side of Lincoln, and helps create an urban canyon. No progress has been noted there in over six months. The project was fully framed, and then the hammers and circular saws fell silent. Neighbors are beginning to wonder whether the project remains fully funded a...
"There's a new video this morning that some say is proof we are not alone in the universe.." says the announcer on Good Morning America. A UFO in the shape of a disk appears to settle on the 1500 year old mosque, then bouncing into the sky. #UFO above the 'Dome of the Rock' in Jerusalem is from February 11, 2011, and we are coming up on the ten year anniversary. Assuming you live on planet Earth, that is. The Dome of the Rock is an Islamic shrine located on the Temple Mount...
A spectacular video of an unidentified flying object which past through water without disturbing the surface, as been taken down by Youtube. Big Tech has revealed it's not just anti-Trump, it's also Anti UFO. "The object witnessed by CBP and tower personnel and recorded on the CBP DHC-8 aircraft's thermal imaging system is of unknown origin," reads a 169 page report from the US Department of Homeland Security. "There is no explanation for an object capable of traveling under...
The Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter has detected an FM radio signal coming from the Jovian moon, Ganymede. This is the first of its kind discovered. Reports are that it originates from a monolith photographed on the surface of Jupiter's largest moon. What exactly was the content of the five second signal from the surface of Ganymede? NASA hasn't released that yet. Juno was traveling across the polar region of Jupiter, where magnetic field lines connect to Ganymede, and...
The person with the nuclear codes has been deemed too dangerous to have a twitter account, as the Social Media giant locked down the president's account for 12 hours. "I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!" tweeted @realdonaldtrump at 11 am EST. "I can assure you that my departure from office is going to be very boring." Tweeted A...
In a stunning move, Twitter Inc has announced the "Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump." The President who came to power using Twitter to communicate with his base without going through the main stream media, leaves power just 11 days after Twitter kicked him out. The carefully crafted release at www.twitter.com seems to be saying that Mr. Trump's tweets lead directly to the events at the US Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. This despite the fact that Trump's actual...
Multiple witnesses reported that saw a large blue monolith shaped UFO in the skies above Oahu. The aircraft, if that's what it was, appeared to drop into the ocean. This would make it an Unidentified Submersible Object or USO, rather than a UFO. However you designate it, the sighting was one of the clearest and most well documented mass UFO sightings in years, and paranormal types were all over it. "UFO Lives Matter!" tweeted one. Others noted that it was a perfect ending to...
In what is quickly becoming a conspiracy theory wrapped in an enigma buried in a prison graveyard, reports out of Sing Sing prison say that Jeffrey Epstein's final prison roommate has died of yeah, right, Covid-19. The convicted pedophile's last roommie, whose name is reportedly Efrain Reyes, was moved away from Epstein when the latter was put on suicide watch. It didn't work; Hillary got to Jeffrey anyway. Reyes, 51, was found dead on Nov. 27 inside his mother’s apartment i...
On Christmas eve 2020, an orbiting laboratory from the European Space Agency called "Mars Express" revealed a photo of a natural formation that looks like an angel on the surface of the Red Planet. Below it is -- what else? a heart shape. The shape is due to a meteor impact, which revealed different types of soil. Well look--the planet itself is named after a Greek and Roman God. Most planetary objects are named after mythological figures. So why not an angel? "As the holiday...
Alexander Kagansky, 45, was found dead Sunday night on a street in Vladivostock, Russia. He had been stabbed, then thrown out a fifth floor window, reports the NY Post, among other news sources. ("What is it with these Russian windows, anyway? They seem to be awfully easy to fall out of," said one wag on Twitter). The internet is rife with speculation that Kagansky was working on a cure to Covid-19, and close to a discovery that Russian or Chinese intelligence did not want...
RagingBull, a stock advisory service with an email subscription service, has announced that it is ceasing operations for thirty days. The FTC claims that trading services like RagingBull unfairly swing particular stocks, by getting enough retail traders to buy into stock options, that they can actually move the stock price in favor of the retail investors. The money comes from hedgefunds and their managers. It should be said, though, that hedgefund managers often manage money...
Maurice Taylor cut off his 12 and 13 year old sons' heads at the family home in Lancaster. Then the Santa Monica physical trainer forced his 9 and 10 year old children to look at the bodies for five days. New LA County D.A. George Gascon's directive ended sentencing enhancements for infanticide. This means Taylor cannot be sentenced to life imprisonment. By decree, Gascon also ended the death penalty, cash bail, prosecution for prostitution, loitering, trespassing, and...
Can this year get any worse? Well, probably not. But remember, in total darkness, you can see the light of a single candle a mile away. And you can see a row of singing portapotties performing the Hallelujah choir on the streets of Chicago. And probably smell them as well. The story of the singing porta-potties begins with an Illinois company called Service Sanitation. They deliver portable toilets to construction sites, events and wherever needed. "We believe that every...
Jack Dorsey does kind of look like an alien. But do the Men in Black run Twitter? Last week, yours truly reported that a NASA video shows a silver monolith in orbit about 3 KM from the International Space Station. This is a simple statement of fact; all you have to do is watch the video, if Big Tech would permit you to. The object resembles silver monoliths recently discovered in Utah's Red Rock Desert, in California, the UK and Romania. https://www.smobser...
An unidentified object hovering in space near the International Space Station was live-streamed on NASA TV on Tuesday. The object appeared to be some 10 meters in length and about 2 meters across, and perhaps 3 km from the ISS. It is in the shape of a silver monolith. Silver monoliths have been sighted in various places on Earth, since November when a silver monolith appeared in Utah's Red Rock Desert. As far as we know, this is the first one found in Earth orbit. Earth orbit...
