LOS ANGELES

ONE MAN’S OPINION--As the House Dems and a few GOP move to impeach Donald Trump for his attempt to overthrow the US government,

ANALYSIS-The right-wing demonstration turned violent riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 was a spectacle, complete with Confederate flags and a QAnon shaman in red-white-and-blue face paint.

HEALTH POLITICS--The saying “insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results” reflects our current response to the COVID-19 surge disaster. 

GUEST COMMENTARY-Trump cannot go unpunished this time.

GELFAND’S WORLD--The big story, as of Monday, January 11, 2021, is the proposed second impeachment of President Donald J. Trump, which has been introduced by SoCal congressman Ted Lieu.

SPECIAL REPORT-The FBI on Monday warned law enforcement agencies across the United States that armed protests by Boogaloo Boys and other far-right groups are possible at state Capitols throughout the nation starting later this week,

@THE GUSS REPORT-On November 8, 2016, Donald Trump won the presidential election despite getting 2.8 million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton.

WHITE SUPREMACY EXAMINED-Some called it a protest. 

LEANING RIGHT--As with my last CityWatch piece, we are all in a RACE between getting our vaccinations to this dreadful "Russian Roulette" of a virus.  

PSYCHOLOGY OF CHANGING-In the past four years, my job as a psychiatrist has given me a front row seat to the alarming gaps in our American society --

ONE MAN’S OPINION-Big Lie #1 is that Donald Trump won the November 2020 election in a landslide and his grand victory was being stolen. 

AT LENGTH-I would be happy if I never had to write about Donald J. Trump ever again.

GELFAND’S WORLD--Tuesday and Wednesday were very good days in a pretty good week, in spite of what some members of congress may have said.

Despite protests from President-elect Joe Biden and other officials that the Capitol insurrection was “not who we are,” the U.S. government has a long track record of disrupting democratic processes elsewhere.

EASTSIDER-It is clear to everyone who lives here that Los Angeles (City and County) is the new national epicenter for COVID-19 and its variants. So how did we hunker down over the holidays? 

MY WAY--Every problem we presently face as a society has an historic context during which it was mistakenly allowed to start and continue to grow unchallenged.

PANDEMIC PARTY HOUSES-The list of problems our city government has left to fester is long and troubling, and party houses operating in short-term rentals sat far from the top of that list.

LEANING RIGHT-We can go on and on about how the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic was predicted to be worse,  and  certainly was, as borne out by the evidence and everyday reports.

GUEST COMMENTARY-Freedom of speech is my writing this article. 

PLANNING WATCH-Whether you call it Reaganomics, neo-liberalism, trickle-down or supply-side economics, privatization, or deregulation, failure is certain.

RANTZ & RAVEZ-Hello and happy 2021 to all Rantz & RaveZ readers.
