Treat Trump Like Noriega
“Listen, let’s call vaccine hesitancy what it really is: willful stupidity.” — Jimmy Kimmel
A recent NPR/PBS/Marist survey found that only 6% of Democratic men are declining to be vaccinated against COVID-19, whereas a whopping 49% of Republican men are refusing to be vaccinated.
What’s up with these Republican snowflakes? Chuck Norris should kick y’all in the teeth for being such a bunch of bozos! That is if the GOP’s current party leaders — Larry, his brother Darryl, and his other brother Darryl — have any teeth left at this point, since Kamala Harris’ left jab and Joe Biden’s right cross have left these lunatic losers looking totally toothless as of late.
Speaking of late, how much longer is it going to take for recalcitrant Republicans to get a clue about that racist Russophile Donald Trump’s so-called “Kung Flu” that was supposed to fade away, according to Don the con, “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”
Of course what actually disappeared were the lives of 580,000 innocent Americans, in addition to deranged diabolical dimwit Donald Trump disappearing from the White House in defeat and disgrace, thanks to over 81 million patriotic American voters collectively reclaiming their democracy by firing that fascist fool in landslide fashion.

An Open Letter to Buscaino’s Office on His Grants
I went over all of the grants over the weekend and I am trying to understand why there is an organization from Long Beach applying in Wilmington? And why were the organizations allowed to apply for every community when we can only vote for one. That doesn’t seem fair. Some of these organizations who applied for Harbor City I have never heard of and have never seen them do any work in Harbor City. If you can only vote for one organization? And there’s $3 million allocated out of the $12 million. Five communities capped at $100,000 does not equal $3 million. So how many organizations is your office actually giving money to or already allocated money to?
I have to be completely honest, this whole process does not seem fair or transparent. Were the organizations told that they could have applied in all the communities in CD15? I read City Lights’ proposal and it says in the boundaries of CD15 not only Harbor City. Their proposal should have also been included in all of them like the “Do Good Family” who received a million dollars from the ELLEN Show. How is this fair to the organizations within our district that ACTUALLY care about our community? Not just looking for an opportunity.
Lastly, it’s pretty sad that the money from LAPD is supposed to be invested into disadvantaged communities of color which BLM and other advocates fought for and your report does not include exactly where this money came from. I had to dig and look for that information.

High Speed Rail Con Job To Taxpayers
When Gov. Gavin Newsom said that he was not going to abandon the High Speed Rail, and continue to build-out the Merced to Bakersfield route, he must have forgotten that there already is a train that services that area.
Newsom said we are going to hold contractors and consultants accountable to explain how tax-payers dollars are spent.
We already know that answer, as the H.S. Authority has significant flaws in the rail authority contract oversight. It failed in the beginning to complete many critical planning tasks before moving forward with the construction. The rail Authority failed to acquire sufficient land for building upon; therefore many lawsuits and regulations to overcome.
Bottom line is that California taxpayers did not vote for the departure of a High Speed train to no-where. The H.S. rail is not high speed, it is over-budget, no connections to L.A. and S.F. and no one from those areas will be riding it.
