Today, the Las Vegas Review became the third major US Daily newspaper to endorse Donald Trump for President. "Yes, Mr. Trump's impulsiveness and overheated rhetoric alienate many voters. He has trouble dealing with critics and would be wise to discover the power of humility," said the Las Vegas Review Journal Sunday in an editorial. "But neither candidate will ever be called to the dais to accept an award for moral probity and character. And we are already distressingly...

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is well known for his frequent Twitter Storms. Now, a clever fundraising program on opponent Hillary Clinton's website is taking advantage of that activity by allowing donors to pledge a certain amount for each tweet. The "Troll Trump" campaign lets donors to pledge as little as ten cents, or as much as $100. They can also set a daily limit on the contribution, just to guard against an over-zealous midnight tweet-fest on Trump's...
On her plane coming back from Las Vegas and Thursday night's debate, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton took reporters questions, something she has only very rarely done this year. "It's been a year and now we've finished our last debate and I'm feeling relieved and very grateful," Clinton said. http://www.theamericanmirror.com/hillary-laments-no-naps-final-debate/ "But I just wanted to come back and say hello. Some of you have been on the trail the whole time. No more...
What is Measure LV? A great deal of information is being distributed regarding local measure LV, much of it via "push polls" over the telephone. A push poll is when the 'researcher' claims to be asking for your opinion but it is actually giving you an opinion. Much of this information is actually misinformation. Some of it is so inaccurate that it is the exact opposite of the truth. Here's the truth. It's not complicated. Measure LV requires new construction which does no...
SMCLC's Local Election Recommendations Vote YES on Measure LV (the LUVE Initiative): Recently, our City government has been forced to acknowledge that Santa Monica has "never" seen our current "volume of traffic," that we have reached "the tipping point," and that we are "overwhelmed." Our downtown regularly suffers from functional collapse. http://www.smclc.net/LUVE/LUVE9-7-16.html Yet City Hall's proposed Downtown Plan continues its failed city planning and guarantees...
Donald Trump tweeted Thursday morning yet another conspiracy theory: Hillary had the answers in advance of last night's debate.

Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump, let his last best chance to become president pass him by last night, ways Ben White of Politico. In an article entitled "240 years of Democracy...
The two took podiums, and the first topic was the Supreme Court. Wallace: Is the Constitution a living document, Mrs. Clinton? Clinton: The Supreme Court raises the central question, which is what kind of country are we going to be? We need a Sup Court that will stand up for women's rights, take down Citizens United, up with LGBTQ rights. I have major disagreements with my opponent. But it is important not to reverse LGBTQ, that we stand up for workers rights, the S Ct should...
Comedienne Amy Schumer was booed by about 200 Trump supporters at an appearance in Tampa, Florida last night. She read a fake apology letter today in an appearance on the same Tamp stage. “Dearest Tampa,” Schumer began. “I’m sorry you didn’t want me, a comedian who talks about what she believes in, to mention the biggest thing going on in our country right now. How could I think it was okay to spend five minutes having a peaceful conversation with someone with different...
In a very contentious presidential election campaign, Americans have a hard time keeping their thoughts to themselves. First an artist executed a series of naked Donald Trump statues, most of which were torn apart. They're surviving statue, from Hollywood, is being auctioned off. Now, an artist in New York City has placed a papier-mâché naked grotesque Hillary statue on the streets of Manhattan. A face that appears to be Donald Trump appears from the corner near her naked b...
An old story given new legs: New video has emerged showing Democratic Nominee Hillary Clinton suffering what looks like a stroke or epileptic seizure on camera. The video is embedded below. Is the media ignoring Clinton's glaring health issues? In the video, Mrs. Clinton reacts to a softball question from a reporter ("How do you feel about receiving President Obama's endorsement?") by bobbing her head vigorously back and forth. She then says: "You guys have got to try the...
The hashtag HillaryBecause is trending on Twitter. A few of the more clever posts on either side: #HillaryBecause, if you don't like Trump's locker room talk about groping, you're gonna love when her refugees actually do it. Niko I'm With Trump #HillaryBecause 8 years of failed policies under the Obama administration may finally work in the next four years. @hillaryclinton As a gay man, it makes perfect sense to vote for open borders, more refugees, & anti-LGBT / anti-women...
In a twitter storm today under #100YearsStrong, Planned Parenthood celebrated 100 years since its founding. "No woman can call herself free, if she does not own and control her own body," said the successors to Margaret Sanger in a tweet quoting her. But not everyone on Twitter was congratulatory, of course. Planned Parenthood says that it provides wellness exams, cancer screenings, education and outreach, access to affordable medicine to millions of American women, and that's...
The Obama administration officially accused Russia of orchestrating hacking efforts to interfere with the election process on Friday. It cannot be doubted that the US administration will have to retaliate for this act of cyberwarfare. The retribution may take the form of a cyber counterattack--what the US did a few years ago to get back at the North Koreans for hacking Sony studios in Culver City, CA. We may never know what it is, or whether it's effective. "I love...

When we see a 68 year old woman running against a 70 year old man, do we not subconsciously think.... Once upon a time, she was an attractive blond, and he was a dapper young man, quite popular with the ladies. What if they courted each other instead? At last, it's out in the open in a Youtube video where Trump sings to Hillary: "I've Had The Time of My Life, And I Owe It All To You. Chelsea and Bill Clinton also star in the video, enjoying the show. Is it really so...

Wounded before the debate, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump came out swinging in Sunday night's debate. He was on his game, and Hillary Clinton's smiles seemed a little insincere. Trump also attacked the moderators for perceived unfairness, saying it was "three against one." As they entered the debate hall to applause, Clinton and Trump did not shake hands. Clinton merely nodded at Trump, who slowed when it became clear that she would not be extending her hand....
Donald Trump's boorish banter with Billy Bush (George HW Bush's Nephew) on the set of Access Hollywood when the two men were traveling to meet Actress Adriana Zucker, have been condemned roundly by everyone on Earth. From John McCain to Trump running mate Mike Pence to his wife Melania Trump, folks have rushed to distance themselves from the Republican nominee for President. Hell, even Tic Tacs condemned Trump ("Tic Tacs does not condone abuse of women"--thanks for clarifying...

"Come on Brooke, I was trying to look cool in front of Billy Bush. Back when I was just a young childish 59 year old man," says Alec Baldwin as Trump. Later, Trum...
Recently a pro-developer political action committee called HOME sent out a flyer to Santa Monica residents that was full of disinformation about ballot Measure LV, which seeks to do one thing: give voters the final say in the approval of large development projects. Here is a point by point response to HOME and its lies from those who advocate YES on Measure LV. #1 "No on LV" Lie: Voter approval would be required to rebuild after an earthquake. Truth: Santa Monica's existing...
Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez and Attorney General Kamala Harris faced off in their only debate Wednesday night at Cal State Los Angeles. The two candidates to replace 24 year Senator Dianne Feinstein, have largely similar views, both of them being Democrats.

"We've done enough on border control, now we need to give immediate status to those members...
Donald Trump released a 90 second videotape at midnight Eastern time. It's at the bottom of this page. So many controversial comments in the past 18 months have rolled off of Donald Trumps back like water off a duck. But this time it's different.
