VOICES

 HIGHLAND PARK MEMOIRS - I heard about it from my daughter, Sarah, in Chicago.

POLITICAL FIREWORKS - They say that the amount of air pollution after the July 4th fireworks extravaganza all across Los Angeles is about three to four times as bad as the air quality would be normally.

GUEST COMMENTARY - I’ve made my own choices along the path of life — spiritual, mental, physical.

ACCORDING TO LIZ - Everything in life is a gamble but some things are more risky than others. 

REPLACEMENT THEORY - There is absolutely nothing "great" about the "Great Replacement." It is nothing new either.

GUEST COMMENTARY - In addition to being a child of communists, an immigrant, a pot-smoking Jewish Yippie, a friend to Black Panthers, a woman who slept with America’s enemy, a prime suspect in a famous bombing, and a woman who tried to bend her sexual boundaries, I’ve also had an abortion.

LA REPAIR ZONES -  “Los Angeles has some of the lowest income and highest need areas in the country resulting from years of structural and institutional racism.

GUEST COMMENTARY - Ready, aim, fire: “I believe in Jesus, guns and babies.”

GUEST COMMENTARY - Joe Biden may have once bragged about his cooperative relations with segregationists, but he still arguably owes more to African-American leadership and voters than any politician in recent history.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - While Sen Howard Baker’s June 1973 Watergate question, “What did the President know and when did he know it?,” is pertinent to Trump, that question may be more relevant to associates like Mark Meadows, his Chief of staff, and to Pat Cipollone, White House Counsel to the President. 

GUEST COMMENTARY - Recently the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which granted women the constitutional right to abortion, and the other ruling nullified a century-old New York law that forbid New Yorkers from carrying firearms in public.

ACCORDING TO LIZ - Today the United States celebrates its official 246^th birthday. 

GUEST COMMENTARY - With the Supreme Court’s expected decision to overturn Roe v. Wade threatening to severely curtail women’s reproductive rights, it might seem an odd moment to report good news about male birth control.

EDUCATION WATCH - The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently banned school-sponsored prayer in public schools.

JAN 6 COMMITTEE - Trump White House insider and January 6 Committee witness Cassidy Hutchinson provided startling and compelling evidence that Donald Trump deliberately set out to incite an insurrection at the Capitol.

ACCORDING TO LIZ - These are the words of Justice Elena Kagan in her dissent about the current Supreme Court’s overreach in taking the side of Big Oil in West Virginia v. EPA. 

GUN VIOLENCE - The spate of mass shootings we've witnessed over the past few weeks has jolted our minds and broken our hearts.

OUR RIGHTS - The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade — and with it, half a century of constitutional precedent.

MY THOUGHTS - I’ve been sifting through both comments and facts regarding the Supreme Court decision on Roe v Wade trying to find what kind of punishment men…otherwise known as the impregnators…will suffer if they are responsible for a pregnancy. 

VOICE IN THE CHEAP SEATS - Abortions were, are, and will always be controversial.  This is because honest people on both sides of the issue can never agree.

GUEST COMMENTARY - When I awoke to a notification that SCOTUS had overturned Roe v. Wade last Friday, like many Americans, my heart sank.
