LOS ANGELES

GUEST WORDS-With the growing movement to Defund the Police and the significance of Black Lives Matters, LA renters are facing many of the issues being raised by these public demands for justice and equality. 

VOICES-Dear Councilman Krekorian,

AT LENGTH-Racism is still a problem in America. If you subscribe to the idea of “American Exceptionalism” — the belief that America is exceptional and better than other nations — you are a part of the problem.

MY TURN-In the past, we were a nation bound and regulated by enforceable laws because a super majority of our people respected and abided by them without being compelled by legal process.

GELFAND’S WORLD--Read it here: Trump says the doctors and the CDC are not being truthful. This all fits in with the following, which was written slightly earlier: 

PERSPECTIVE-The vote-for-Joe-Biden camp argues that Biden supports democracy, in contrast to Trump, who harbors fascist tendencies.

ONE MAN’S OPINION--Trump and Pelosi get away with their foul deeds for the same reasons – their respective bases have no concern for Truth Justice and the American Way. 

RANTZ & RAVEZ-Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (who called police officers “killers”) and City Councilmembers responded to the demands of protestors and rioters by slashing $150 million from the 2020-2021 LAPD budget.

HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT-Big Real Estate keeps pumping millions into campaigns that oppose Proposition 21, the November ballot measure that expands rent control in California.

@THE GUSS REPORT-How angry for justice would you be...

ONE MAN’S OPINION-Prior to the advent of Donald Trump, the choice of Sarah Palin to be Sen. John McCain’s running mate in 2008 was the GOP’s most egregious misstep. 

ALPERN AT LARGE--Again...Eric Garcetti, meet Donald Trump--and the above two photos say it all.
