Our beagle of 13 years passed away quietly last night. Rest In Peace, Maverick. We will miss you," wrote Pence.

The animals were briefly separated from their owners...
Gettysburg PA: Speaking at the site of Abraham Lincoln's most famous speech, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump promised to cancel all funding to sanctuary cities within the first hundred days of his administration. Sanctuary cities such as San Francisco refuse to turn arrested police suspects over to federal authorities when their immigration papers are not valid. In other words they will not participate in the federal deportation of illegal aliens. 'First 100 days' agenda speech...
Dear Editor, Over the last few weeks, we have noticed a great number of guest columns and letters to the editor regarding the controversial Santa Monica Measure LV. There are very strong opinions on both sides of the issue and we want to kindly remind your readers that regardless of what voters decide on November 8th, we'll still be part of the same community on November 9th. The proliferation of community involvement and opinions surrounding the future of Santa Monica is a wonderful thing....
'That's because you're fascinated with sex, Megyn," said the grey haired professor and republican strategist, to the beautiful blond TV personality. He was explaining why she (allegedly) spent 23 minutes covering 10 women who have accused the Republican candidate of sexual harassment, and less than one full minute on Hillary Clinton's secret desire to have open borders, as revealed in a speech last year to Brazilian bankers. Got all that? Good, because it's the best political moment of October,...
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 familiar with the...
The Santa Monica Area Interfaith Council (SMAIC) and community continue to struggle together toward the day when every person is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of sexual identity, creed, color, ability, religion, age, culture, gender or gender expression. As members of the Santa Monica Area Interfaith Council, we recognize that election seasons bring our differences into sharp focus. We celebrate healthy, robust debate that helps advance our understanding of the decisions voters...
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 part. Donald...
The election of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton as President will lead to higher interest rates, starting with a 25 basis point increase at the Federal Reserves December meeting. This according to CNBC and other sources. While the Fed has raised the overnight interest rate just once in 9 years, "Goldman Sachs economists now see a 75 percent chance of a Fed rate hike by the end of the year, with odds rising as Republican Donald Trump's chances of winning the White House have fallen."...
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 debates. No more naps,"...
Donald Trump tweeted Thursday morning yet another conspiracy theory: Hillary had the answers in advance of last night's debate. "Why didn't Hillary Clinton announce that she was inappropriately given the debate questions- she secretly used them! Crooked Hillary." 7:56 AM - 20 Oct. 2016. 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 vs. Donald Trump,"...
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 not conform to curr...
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 traffic and congestion...
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 stand for all of...
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 breasts and her feet a...
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 views?” Schumer wen...
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 cold chai. It is...
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 blood money. --...
Sources within the Clinton Campaign are now openly saying that Hillary Clinton should withdraw from her third scheduled debate with Donald Trump, set for October 19th in Las Vegas. Democratic strategist David Axelrod on Saturday suggested that Hillary Clinton skip it, because of his suggestion they should take a drug test. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/301196-axelrod-maybe-clinton-should-reconsider-final-debate Brett Baier confirmed this story Sunday night on "Fox Report." He...
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 absolutely true. T...
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 WikiLeaks!" Donald Trump...
The impending presidential election has already become one of the most tempestuous in history. As candidates continue to race toward the finish line in November, they are facing one of the most dynamically diverse voter groups in U.S. history, whose complexities and corresponding perspectives are important to understand in order to effectively appeal to the many unique cohorts that will sway election results. Leading our nation's diversity, the Millennial generation consists of more than 44...
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 improbable? Aren't Hillary...
At Clover Park this afternoon, Oct. 9, City Councilman Terry O'Day saw local residents canvassing for a YES vote on Measure LV, reported LV supporter and local resident Tricia Crane on her Facebook account. School Board member Oscar de la Torre, who is now running for City Council, explained to him that residents have a right to exercise their freedom of speech. O'Day called city staff to roust LV supporters but they were allowed to stay. Measure LV would require a vote of the entire City...
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. Then they simply...
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 that, guys). We're...
