In the opening monologue of this week's Saturday night live begins with a mock Vice Presidential Debate between Pence and Kaine, and cuts to satirical video of Trump apology. "It looks like Donald Trump finally got his wish: Access to a live microphone!" Trump explains the Billy Bushgate tape to a blonde anchorwoman. "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, Trump is caught again t...
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 Municipal Code...
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. There is active speculation that the Republican nominee will step down as a Presidential Candidate, and what the party would do. MSNBC, a network as rabidly pro-Clinton as FoxNews is Pro-Trump, says that many donors and elected Republican officials...
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. So they focused on each others record, which Harris accusing Sanchez of being the "number 3 most absent" person in Congress. "We've done enough on border control, now we need to give immediate status to those members that are part of our...
In a video obtained by The Washington Post, Donald Trump talks about "grabbing kitties" , abusing dogs, and other animal abuse. The video of Trump bantering with Billy Bush, host of "Access Hollywood," on a bus with the show's name written across the side. They were arriving on the set of "Days of Our Lives" to tape a cameo appearance by Trump on the daytime soap opera. The tape is audio only of Bush and Trump chatting inside the bus, as well as audio and video once they emerge from it to begin...
An environmental group has charged that political campaign investments by the Ohio Farm Bureau (OFB) have allowed corporate agriculture interests to control Ohio's environmental policy to the detriment of Lake Erie. An analysis by Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie (ACLE) shows the OFB Federation in four state legislative elections since 2009, invested $1,173,116 in political campaigns, including* $690,581 to 32 of 33 current State Senators and 76 of 99 current State Representatives, concentrated...
A bill passed by the California State Legislature last week and on Gov. Jerry Brown's desk, will allow the deceased who's registration is Green Party or Democrat, to continue voting after their date of death. Brown says he will sign the legislation Friday, at a ceremony to include "zombies of all racial, ethnic and sexual identities." California is currently the most solidly "blue" state in the US. Democrats in the State legislature enjoy a super majority, allowing them to pass bills giving tran...
The New York Times reports that it has obtained a copy of Donald Trump's 1995 IRS Form 1040, which registers a loss of $916 million. Going forward 18 years, DT may never have paid taxes since. This is because he was entitled to a $50,000,000 loss each of the next 18 years. The story does leave us with an obvious question: Who gave the New York Times the Donald's tax returns? The Times says Donald's returns "were surreptitiously left in our mailbox." Sure, but by whom? The obvious culprit:...
As Chris Matthews on MSNBC was trying to damage Gary Johnson, Actress Melissa Joan Hart was on another network espousing the virtues of Johnson. Melissa Joan Hart thinks America is ready to elect a third-party president. The actress formerly known as Sabrina the Teenage Witch likes Johnson so much, that she has agreed to serve as Chairman of his Connecticut State Campaign. "I want to break away from this two-party system and I think it's important for people to know that there's another...
You may have wondered why you haven't heard much about Tiffany Trump, the only child of Donald Trump with actress Marla Maples. Well, as always, there's an internet meme that explains it. It went all over Twitter early this year: Trump: I need Secret Service protection for Ivanka, Don Jr and Eric Eric: What about Tiffany? Trump: Who? - Purify (@TheToast2016) September 20, 2016 Poor Tiffany Trump. "But I DO have a meeting with a Congressman! His name...is George! George Glass!" above a photo of J...
As President, Hillary Clinton will appoint Huma Abedin as Secretary of State. This according to leaked e mails between Abedin, Mrs. Clinton, and Clinton's former chief of staff Cheryl Mills. Abedin, 40, would be the first Moslem Secretary of State, and one of the youngest ever. She would not, however, be the first foreign born Secretary of State. Henry Kissinger, 93, has that distinction, having been appointed by Richard Nixon. Huma Mahmood Abedin, 40, served as vice chairwoman of Hillary...
Thanks to his good friend Trump, FOX television host Sean Hannity seems to have found a new job: verifying America's fibbery. "I once ate a bear while flying an F16 nude. Don't believe me? #callseanhannity" (@nathanchurch74) During Monday night's presidential debate, the Donald had several brushes with the truth, as usual, but he seemed particularly determined to argue away a 2002 recording in which radio host Howard Stern asks if he supports invading Iraq, and Trump replies "Yeah I guess so."...
When Governor Sam Brownback began his great tea party tax experiment in Kansas, he championed a quarterly economic review as an accountability test of his vision. Now that his vision has failed miserably, the Council of Economic Advisors, chaired by Brownback himself, has determined that they will no longer compile and distribute the report, which was based on a comparison with economic markers from six neighboring states. Their excuse: it confuses people. "A lot of people found them helpful,...
Republican nominee Donald Trump seemed to be sniffling Monday night. This is ironic, as Trump asserted Hillary Clinton lacks the stamina to be President. Chuck Todd, political director of Meet the Press, said "We've just watched a very surreal debate. Mrs. Clinton was obviously very well prepared. Mr. Trump spoke with a lot of passion, but ceased answering questions directly after the first half hour. How will the American public react to it? I can't say, but it's unlike anything any of us have...
Santa Monica city attorney Marsha Moutrie publicly announced that she will be retiring at the end of the year. Her 20 year reign has not been without controversy, so some are glad, some are not. But it is beyond question that the most powerful official, elected or unelected, in the City of Santa Monica will be gone at the end of the year. Moutrie blames her family. "Santa Monica is an incredible place and my 22 action-packed years as City Attorney have flown by. My husband has been retired for...
Update: The Commission on Presidential Debates Monday morning stated that while each candidate is allowed a certain number of tickets for guests, Gennifer Flowers is not among the spectators certified for tonight's debate. For political junkies, the 2016 U.S. Presidential election is a lot like a high school debate between a smart but mean homecoming queen and the class bully, only better. And it just keeps getting better. Donald Trump critic Mark Cuban has front-row seats to the Debate, which...
A self described former Jihadi Maajid Nawaz, speaking on FoxNews' the Kelly File, said that The Islamic State terror group, will increase the pace of US terror attacks as we move toward the November 8th US Presidential election. This is based on chatter overheard in ISIS online chat rooms, he said. Nawaz is well educated and tours the Middle East, he explains in a British accent, to lecture young people at Universities of the danger of extremism. ISIS prefers and wants to help Donald Trump to...
When Hillary Clinton collapsed on her way to her motorcade on Sunday, she touched off a Youtube video conspiracy theory bonanza. About 100 videos theorize she's not on antibiotics. She's 6 feet under. And that Hillary we saw walking around later, was either her body double, or a UFO supplied robot. You can't make up stuff like this. At least, I can't. So it must be true. WABC-TV in New York apparently accidentally announced that Hillary Clinton had died, not simply collapsed on Sunday. If you...
In a storm that threaten to take down Twitter Tim, Donald Trump Jr compared Syrian refugees to poisonous skittles. That's right, the candy. You can't make this stuff up. But wait, there's more. The meme, sent by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's son, used poorly punctuated language to say, "If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you. [sic] Would you take a handful? That's our Syrian refugee problem." In a related story concerning relatives of...
If you are a single parent in America, don't vote for Donald Trump unless you want to pay more taxes. The latest incarnation of the Donald's tax plan could as much as double the tax bill for unmarried parents. At the same time, it would greatly reduce payments made by the wealthiest citizens. The single parent penalties would come about with three of the major revisions that Trump proposes for the tax code. First of all, he wants to get rid of the Head of Household status for filers, forcing...
A new survey on civic knowledge has found that only a quarter of adult Americans can name all three branches of our government. Nearly a third of Americans can't name even one of the branches. This abysmal result should send shockwaves through a democratic society. Without a basic understanding of the ingenious political system put into play by our founding fathers, it is easy for political or media agitators to manipulate Americans into a slathering frenzy over issues that were done and...
As litigators prepare oral arguments for the 24-state suit to stop the federal government from implementing the Clean Power Plan (CPP), a Citizen Cabinet survey finds that two-thirds of registered voters in the states party to the suit (67 percent) actually favor the Plan. Eight states were also surveyed, including four that are party to the lawsuit; in all four – Florida, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas – two-thirds or more also support the plan. Across the country as a whole, 69 percent approve of...
Update, 9/16: The Commission on Presidential Debates has announced that only Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, will participate in the presidential debate on September 26th. Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson polled 13% in a national Quinnipiac University poll released today, Wednesday, September 14. This puts him just shy of the 15% that he needs in order to participate in the Clinton versus Trump televised debate scheduled for FOXNews for September 26, 2016. The 15% is an...
Evan McMullin believes that America should be much more worried about presidential candidate Donald Trump's close ties to Vladimir Putin. The former CIA agent and former Republican is so concerned about Trump's ties to Putin that he entered the 2016 presidential election as an Independent candidate in July in an eleventh-hour bid to bring some attention to the issue. In an interview this week with CNN, McMullin asserts that his friends in intelligence have told him that Trump's previous...
A new AJC survey of American Jews shows that Democrat Hillary Clinton would win 61 percent of the Jewish votes and Republican Donald Trump would garner 19 percent, if elections were held today. The AJC 2016 Survey of American Jewish Opinion is the first national survey of Jewish attitudes in this year's election campaign and the latest in the global Jewish advocacy organization's annual surveys that date back decades. It also covers the views of American Jews on other pressing issues, including...
