On the surface, the bill Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D-Los Angeles) plans to propose that will raise the requirements to enter a police force in California sounds like a good idea. Requiring recruits to either have a four-year college degree or be 25 years old seems like it would create a more mature, level-headed police force. In defending the proposed law, Jones-Sawyer cites a 2010 study that showed college-educated police officers in two different cities were less...
UPDATE: After winning election as the District Attorney for the County of Los Angeles by 53.53%, Gascon has set about doing every single thing he promised in the below article. While 53.53% may sound like a lot, it leaves a possible 4,647,000 people extremely unhappy with his policies. He hardly has a mandate and will soon discover as much. George Gascon, a Havana-born former police officer, resigned his position as San Francisco District Attorney in October, at the same time...
In new video posted by the New America PAC, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (Rep. TX), jumps out of an airplane landing on the hood of a car. Two hooded figures, whom we associate with Antifa, scream as they see Crenshaw land on their hood. We are then invited to attend a rally in Walton Co. Georgia, for the Republican Senate candidates Kelly Loeffler and Sam Perdue. In the video that seems like a James Bond film, the eyepatch wearing congressman supports Republican Sen. Candidates...
December 9 This week Santa Monica officials got exactly what they wanted when they approved a $76.7 million dollar City Hall annex in 2017 - at a whopping cost of $1,528 per square foot. They won an award. Specifically, they won an award for being so gosh-darn sustainable and environmentally conscientious. The U.S. Green Building Council-Los Angeles awarded Santa Monica's City Hall annex design their Project of the Year award in the Un-Built Category. (Unbuilt? This project...
Viral video shows a school teacher in Bend, the largest town in Eastern Oregon, yelling "Go kill yourself!" and various expletives at Reopen Oregon Now protestors Sunday. Tensions are building in the US over newly announced lockdowns, as diagnosed cases rose to 100,000 per day Sunday December 6th. Many are protesting, and some are protesting the protestors. An Oregon school teacher yelled from her SUV that protestors who wanted the schools to reopen "should go kill...
New data leads to compassionate policy suggestions for Covid care endorsed by AMAC. Some 50,000 medical professionals agree WASHINGTON, DC, DEC 4 -- "One of the most rational approaches to the global COVID crisis is being ignored by overly cautious authorities and the mainstream media; it's an authoritative report that puts the pandemic in a new perspective," says Rebecca Weber, CEO of the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. The Great Barrington Declaration is the...
A doctor speaking to the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security dropped a bombshell Tuesday morning. He claims to have a prophylactic cure to coronavirus. Ivermectin is readily available, and has been used to treat Swine Flu in animals for decades. Pierre Kory, M.D. is an Associate Professor of Medicine at St. Luke's Aurora Medical Center in Milwaukee. He told Congress that numerous studies have concluded Ivermectin completely prevents Covid-19 infection. "And so, it is...
"Los Angeles's new COVID lockdown bans most walking, driving and use of public transport. Yes, walking" tweeted . "93% who died from COVID-19 had underlying health conditions in Los Angeles and yet the city is now in lockdown again with all restaurants, bars and cafes closed!" Tweeted Monica Clare. "Underlying health conditions include obesity, asthma, diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, pregnancy, immunity disorders - not just the big ones like cancer, heart & lung issues...
A small but noisy protest was held outside of LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl's house in Santa Monica this Tuesday morning. The previous week, on Monday, November 23, Kuehl voted to close all outdoor restaurant dining. A day later Kuehl was observed eating outdoors at Il Forno Trattoria on Ocean Park Boulevard - the last day, according to her own rules, that such activity was permitted. According to an eyewitness account, the Santa Monica Police Department met the 10-15...
State and local officials began instituting new lockdown orders with the declared purpose of slowing down the surge of cases beginning in mid-November. But is the shutdown of outdoor dining, the closing of playgrounds, and the heavy restrictions on retail store capacity really about saving lives? The scramble by government officials to impose more restrictions on a populace already exhausted by imposed isolation and unemployment seems more a tack to save face than to save...
In a story too funny not to repost, the Babylon Bee thinks it knows why Trump lost the 2020 Presidential election. The satirical publication has theorized that the Utah Monolith is actually constructed out of missing Trump votes. "UTAH DESERT-Scientists and conspiracy theorists are baffled after a strange monolith-shaped stack of missing Trump votes was discovered without explanation in the middle of the Utah desert. "RIGGED ELECTION!" tweeted Donald Trump after seeing the...
About 75 protestors marched up the hilly roads above Dodger Stadium on Sunday to protest outside the home of Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Public Health. Ferrer has been the orchestrator of the various lockdown orders beginning in March. An expert in social justice and health equity, Dr. Ferrer is now referred to on talk radio as "doctor non-doctor" or "not-a-doctor" Ferrer. She makes almost half a million dollars a year in salary and benefits and has no medical...
With 2 other Supervisors, Sheila Kuehl voted to close all of LA County's 31,000 restaurants on Monday, November 23. Then she went out to eat at Il Forno on Ocean Park Blvd on Tuesday night, November 24. "This is why people get pissed and have no respect for politicians. They can't even follow THEIR OWN protocol. Embarrassing." tweeted Anthony Steele. Kuehl's explanation was she goes to eat there every night, and was catching a final meal at her favorite eatery near her Santa...
One things becoming clear: Joe Biden is so very fragile that he cannot even play with his German Shepherd, without breaking his foot. And as usual, the Media will never demand transparency from any Democrat. On Sunday, Biden's doctor announced that the president-elect had twisted his ankle the day before while playing with his dog, Major. The injury will likely require Biden to wear a walking boot. "Initial x-rays are reassuring that there is no obvious fracture and he will...
Two Los Angeles County Supervisors led a failed attempt to reverse the county Department of Public Health's decision to close outdoor dining at area restaurants. Supervisors Kathryn Barger and Janice Hahn co-authored a motion to allow outdoor dining to continue at 50 percent capacity. The motion failed 3-2. The two supervisors' motion followed an announcement on Sunday, November 22, by the county's Public Health Department that they were ordering the closure of all outdoor...
UPDATE: The questions posed during the webinar can be found under the "Get Involved" tab on the Housing Element Update website. However, no answers have yet been posted. We did receive an answer to an emailed question about financing for the affordable housing: "Regarding your questions, producing affordable housing takes investment both from private and public sector. You are right that the amount of affordable housing allocated to Santa Monica is a substantial amount that...
An attorney representing the Trump campaign in lawsuits in Michigan, Wisconsin and other states claims that the Trump campaign now has explosive evidence to demonstrate that the 2020 presidential election was manipulated in Joe Biden's favor. Speaking on Fox News to Maria Bartiromo Sunday 11/15, Sidney Powell is not terribly specific. She says Dominion software is completely unreliable, that it's been used by Hugo Chavez and China to steal elections. She claims that hundreds...
Thousands took to the streets of major US cities to celebrate as Joe Biden seemed to have clinched the 2020 Presidential election. "Joe Biden and I are ready to get to work on behalf of the American people," tweeted Vice President elect Kamala Harris. President Elect Joe Biden said he was honored and humbled by his election, something he has sought for decades. He planned to address the nation at 5 pm PST. US Senators Lindsey Graham and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell...
If you follow US Politics, you know that things are not looking good right now for the campaign to re elect Donald J. Trump as US President. Only a few states (Arizona, North Carolina and Georgia) are still counting, and democrat Joe Biden is ahead in them all. He already has the electoral college votes to ascend to the White House. The mainstream media, even Fox News, have all called the election for Biden. Nevertheless, a few diehard Trump supporters are holding rallies in...
An editorial in Real Clear Politics suggests that this election was stolen, and that the evidence for it is right in front of us. In an editorial entitled "The Kafka Election: Finding a Way Out of the Maze" Frank Miele calls it rather obvious that Democrats conducted systemic ballot harvesting in five major cities. Or that someone did something even worse, such as creating false ballots. All five cities are run by Democratic party regulars, Even though the cities are located i...
Santa Monica is to hold three virtual community workshops to "engage" the public in discussing how to shoehorn in the 8,874 additional housing units assigned to them by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The city received its allocation of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) from the quasi-governmental SCAG last fall. That number originated with the state's Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), who delivered to SCAG an estimate...
President Trump and Joe Biden camps both thought they would ultimately win the presidency, as mail in votes continued to be counted in at least 5 states. "How come every time they count Mail-In ballot dumps they are so devastating in their percentage and power of destruction?" President Trump tweeted. "This is a major fraud on our nation," he said last night. Joe Biden said that he felt confident and urged his voters to wait to declare victory until after all the votes were...
Better stock up on Kleenex, because there's going to be a lot of leftist tears next week. Trump will be president for the next 4 years. Prior to 2016, Silicon Valley, the US Media, traditional republicans like the McCains and of course, all democrat politicians were in complete agreement: Import as many low wage workers as possible from Latin America, as many students as possible from China and India, and let them stay. Never fix the Southern border. Manufacture everything...
There was a marked difference in the response and capability of police in quelling rioting between Philadelphia and Los Angeles this week. In Philadelphia, police were outmanned and overpowered when rioting and looting broke out in response to the police shooting death of Walter Wallace, Jr. Purported protestors rampaged through the city for two days, looting stores and injuring journalists, police, and each other. At least 11 people were shot by other looters. Meanwhile, in...
