VOICES

GUEST COMMENTARY - There’s been a great deal of criticism with tech billionaire Elon Musk’s takeover of the Twitter social media channel.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - Whether the lies come from Donald Trump or from the Los Angeles Times, lies breed violence. 

ACCORDING TO LIZ - Yesterday was National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, a time of figurative rending of garments and reliving one horrible incident – Japanese Zeros dive-bombing the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor out of the rising sun. 

LABOR WATCH - U.S. Rail Unions went into this bargaining season with not a single day of paid sick leave in their Contract.

MARK, MY WORDS - “The good old days.” I suppose it means something different to everyone depending on political point of view, cultural background or any number of other things that make us who we are.

GUEST COMMENTARY - Antisemitism in any form is deeply offensive. In recent weeks, however, we’ve seen examples of two types of Jew-hatred that represent different kinds and levels of threat.

RAILROAD WORKERS - The United States Senate acted in a show of rare unity recently in voting 80 to 15 to pass a bill forcing rail workers to accept their employers’ contract offer without a strike.

ELECTION ANALYSIS - Social Security was on the ballot in Georgia’s December 6 run-off election. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock’s re-election is a win for working families.

GUEST COMMENTARY - The LAPD has a double standard when addressing disciplinary complaints on Command Staff Members vs. rank-and-file members.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - On December 3, 2022, the mentally challenged Donald Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution."  (Bold added) 

POLITICAL COMMENTARY - Breaking news: After years of failed Republican efforts to uncover any proof of widespread voter fraud by Democrats, Republican Governor Ron “Tough Guy” DeSantis of Florida found not one, but 20 ineligible people casting ballots.

THE DOCTOR IS IN - For any Jew (or a friend, family member, or sympathizer to Jews in the nation and abroad), it's become pretty clear that the historical go-to for blaming the Jews still exists. 

BORDER SECURITY - It is unusual when a government official gets fired for poor job performance. Not because they perform their job duties well. It’s because the bureaucracy protects them.

GUEST COMMENTARY - It’s more than a bit bizarre that until Elon Musk bought Twitter, most policy types apparently did not see a risk that huge platforms like Facebook and Twitter could be controlled by people with a clear political agenda.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - As all Angelenos know, the Los Angeles City Hall is a quagmire of corruptionism where Quality Of Life for Angelenos plays no role. 

GUEST COMMENTARY - Every year prior to Thanksgiving, Los Angeles City Council members purchase large quantities of Turkeys which are to be given out to their needy, low-income constituents.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - Although the recent city council elections were rife with charges of corruption, the word remained undefined.

THE DOCTOR IS IN - It's no secret that trying to see a doctor in a timely manner is at best difficult, and at worst downright impossible.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - Unlike the twit Musk, who bought something he did not understand, Zuckerberg built Meta Platforms (Meta). 

ACCORDING TO LIZ - THX 1138 was, and is, an iconic American movie set in the 25^th century where the workforce has been drugged into submission.
