    Stan Greene, Observer Staff Writer|Oct 25, 2024

    13 Former US Congressman George Santos, not exactly regarded as a paragon of truth, has been dropping hints that he has information that will end the Kamala Harris campaign. Santos says he has video of the Democratic US Presidential candidate attending sex parties at P-Diddy's aka Sean Puffy Combs. The rapper is in a New York Federal jail and under indictment for the "freakoffs", orgies in which multiple men were paid to have sex with multiple women, while Combs watched. Diddy previously...

  • BREAKING NEWS: Santa Monica Crime Keeps Getting Worse. Vote For Phil Brock, Oscar de la Torre, Vivian Roknian and John Putnam to Reverse the Trend.

    Faustino Garza, 37-year resident of Santa Monica|Oct 25, 2024

    It seems anymore like not a week goes by without news of a stabbing, shooting, assault, rape or home invasion. And there are undoubtedly countless more less-serious crimes, many of which go unreported, like car break-ins, store theft, public drug usage, and harassment of residents and visitors by homeless wanderers on our streets. Santa Monica wasn’t like this 10 years ago. Crime continues to get worse and clearly we need to make changes in order to reverse this trend. The causes of increasing c...

  • BREAKING NEWS: Response to Ted Winterer's letter: "The Great Santa Monica Safety Debate"

    Arthur Jeon, Special to the Observer|Oct 25, 2024

    Wow, it's a bore to keep deconstructing the desperate confabulations of SMRR and their puppeteers. But somebody's got to do it! The latest is from Ted Winterer, who presided on the City Council from 2012-2020 (and as the Mayor 2016-2018), and has written a truly hilarious SMDP op-ed in which he wonders why the two incumbents running (Phil Brock and Oscar de la Torre), haven't yet created safer streets in their 3 years in office when they've been in control for 40. This is also a theme in SMRR...

  • Defending Oscar de La Torre From a Last Minute False SMRR Election Attack

    Tricia Crane, Northeast Neighbors|Oct 25, 2024

    Dear friends and neighbors, I want to be sure you read Councilmember Oscar de la Torre's letter published in the Santa Monica Daily Press, which is below. Oscar writes in response to an accusation by a political figure - school board candidate Jon Kean - that he is antisemitic. I have known Oscar for decades, beginning when I was a reporter for NPR and I interviewed Oscar, fresh out of college, about his work with the youth of the Pico neighborhood. Oscar then created the Pico Youth & Family...

    Santa Monica Coalition|Oct 25, 2024
    4

    Santa Monica's City Council thinks the city is just fine. One councilmember called the homeless residents our neighbors, their wants and desires equivalent to those of people who pay rent and pay taxes. The 'freedom' of some, most of whom suffer from drug addiction and mental illness, to live in filth, disease and to commit crimes with impunity, is valued over the ability of the rest of society to live healthy lives in law and order. Watch the videos shot and distributed by the Santa Monica...
