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 of thousands of...
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 Los Angeles and...
Santa Claus is coming to town, even in 2020. It's a Covid-19 Christmas, but not to worry. The high end shopping arcade will offer physically distanced activities and "Contactless visits with Santa." And that's fine with me. Personally, I always found sitting in the old guys lap kind of creepy. And my wife really had a problem with it. Press release from the shopping arcade follows: This holiday season, Santa Monica Place will offer an array of physically-distanced, festive activities for the...
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 in red states. In a...
Seems everything the left wants to get rid of is first labelled as racist. US Leftists have proposed doing away with Daylight Savings Time, as a relic of America's racist slave past. "Stefani wants to get rid of Daylight Saving Time across the country," says a recent email from Change.org. "the 20th century war-time creation is no longer necessary. Four states and U.S. territories have already stopped it. Stefani says that changing our clocks twice a year has minimal benefits and proven health...
According to the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters, George Gascon has been elected Los Angeles County District Attorney. Gascon won 54% of the Los Angeles County vote, about 1.5 million in raw votes. Incumbent District Attorney Jackie Lacey has just 46%. The carpetbagger from San Francisco favors no prosecution of homeless people for any crime, no drug prosecution, no minor crime enforcement, and an emphasis on social justice over, well, justice. Jackie Lacey was elected in 2012 as the...
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 possible in China....
Nine days before the US Presidential election, Wikipedia has added Rudy Giuliani's Hunter Biden laptop to its article about the Ukraine hoax. "A Wall Street Journal reporter observed that the metadata of the PDFs indicated they had been created in the fall of 2019, though the emails were supposedly from 2014 and 2015,” says Wikipedia. This is a curious "finding," given that no one but the FBI has had possession of the laptop, excluding a certain blind New Jersey computer repairman. “The mat...

With a Covid-19 facemask over her face, Justice Amy Coney Barrett looked very much like a hostage, as she sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday morning October 12th, 2020. The confirmation hearings for President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee were held 22 days before the November 3rd national election. "I'm so glad people at the White House Super Spreader Event" said Dem. Sen. Corey Booker "had access to the world's best medical care." "The problem is the people who are working...
Culminating a ten year struggle, the Santa Monica City Council approved a massive new development for the North East corner of Ocean Avenue and Wilshire Blvd on Tuesday night. The project will include 60 incredibly expensive condominiums, 300 or so luxury hotel rooms, and 22 units of affordable housing across Second Street. Many people spoke out against the project, which hired Councilmember Gleam Davis' husband as a consultant. Davis recused herself, and the Council voted 4 to 2 to approve it....
Two days before President Donald Trump is scheduled to debate Democratic Presidential candidate and former VP Joseph Biden; the New York Times dropped a "bombshell" report on Trump taxes. Claiming to have examined secondary documents related to his tax returns, though not the returns themselves; the Times reports that Trump paid no taxes for 10 of the 15 years prior to 2017. "In some years, he paid as little as $750," reports the Times, attributing this to the fact that Trump had about $400...

Residents of the westside were awakened 25 minutes before midnight Friday night, by a sharp temblor. Caltech's seismology lab said it measured 4.6 on the logarythmic Richter scale, making it one of the sharpest jolts of the last 20 years.

Some days you eat the bear, and other days, the bear eats your Tostitos. A California brown bear weighing some 350 lbs walked into a grocery store in South Lake Tahoe, California on Thursday night.

I was on 50 totally with my hig...

Covid-19 will be the death of many retail businesses, many but not all of them non-chain restaurants. For the last half century, Enterprise Fish Company has sold salmon, lobbed lobster and hailed halibut in a brick seafood themed store just off of Main Street. Now, that business has closed. Fisher Hardware is also closed in its Lincoln and Colorado location. No doubt the land will go for high density housing, because who doesn't want to live at Lincoln and Colorado? Bourget Brothers Building...

"A rumor started over the weekend that I was trying to catfish people on the left," said Shapiro on Monday morning. "They set up a fake recruiting website, and put my public e mail address...
