Here is the most important, most deliberately ignored fact in the robotic, well-rehearsed weekend hysteria over President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the loose-jointed Paris climate accords: Every global warming prediction has been wrong. The fun-free boys and girls who live in the town of Environmental Activism are not quickly discouraged. Proving their deepest held convictions unanimously wrong brings shrill … Read More
Here Is How You Hold Everything Together
I discovered Sugru last week while surfing Amazon. I have been blown away while playing with it since it arrived in the mail. Sugru is the best thing since duct tape and super glue. Sugru solves problems that tapes and glues cannot solve. Sugru looks and feels like a combination of clay and Play-Doh. It will fix most anything. Sugru … Read More
One Abortion, Please, as Soon as You Have Time
Calling out fake news/names hardly started with President Trump. Liberals have been grinding out phony names for problematic/embarrassing issues since you and I were in short pants. Because so many Americans oppose killing babies, liberals stuck the term abortion in their back pockets. Overnight, during the rock-strewn Obama years, abortion morphed into “women’s health.” Abortion became such a negative concept … Read More
Right or Wrong? That Feels So Old-Fashioned
Since college professors are known for their biased approaches, it is curious that the ultra-leftist chair of the Jewish History department at UCLA busily is promoting an “objective” perspective in history. Squishy David Myers is advocating a “dual narrative”– or side-by-side — method of teaching history to the unwashed. In the vacant space where a man’s brain-box normally would be, … Read More
When You Lose a Spouse…
A reporter is supposed to be objective when he approaches a story. That is not, however, the way I felt walking up to Janet Hoult, Culver City’s honorary poetess laureate. Recently widowed, how was she faring? “It has been difficult,” she said. No need to elaborate. Been there. “Charlie passed away the day before Thanksgiving,” said the poetess. “Since that … Read More
Trump, Romney Blamed for Illegal Running Away
Dateline Sanctuary City – Paula Colorado must not have heard of Culver City. Actually, it would not have mattered that today she would be safer here than in any gun-slinging Mexican burg where she presently resides. At 37, Paula is an illegal alien of sorts although, heaven forfend, the reliably slanted Los Angeles Times never would call an illegal alien … Read More
Are Gays Disappearing from Hollywood?
Speeding past the rich irony of a gay organization being known by the acronym GLAAD, the media tracker for fairness to gays issued its 53rd consecutive unsurprising report last week. In the painstakingly fair, starchly objective Los Angeles Times, reporter Tre’vell Anderson wrung his hands and observed dryly: “Hollywood keeps getting it wrong when it comes to diverse and accurate … Read More
City Leaders Come Home Glowing About Capo Visit
Mission accomplished – with a smile and with the confidence of success. After 11 days in Capo d’Orlando, Sicily, a three-member official City Council delegation has returned home convinced that scenic seaside Capo qualifies as Culver City’s next Sister City. Mayor Jeff Cooper, Vice Mayor Thomas Small and immediate past mayor Jim Clarke were joined on the European outing by … Read More
Creatively Reducing Homelessness
Second in a series Re “Dr. Diamond Hopeful Homeless Count Will Shrink” Until the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority produces the community by community homeless count sometime this year, Dr. Ira Diamond, Culver City’s man on the case, has his ideas. Despite the overwhelming numbers who haunt the County’s thousands of streets night and day, the immensely dedicated podiatrist … Read More
Marijuana Users – Can They Relax?
Second in a series Re “Marijuana Watch: Police Aren’t Relaxing” While the Police Dept. insists it is not relaxing in its longtime watchdog role regarding illegal marijuana use, the world changed a few months ago. When California voters approved legalizing marijuana, law enforcement was forced to adjust, too. Culver City’s Marijuana Task Force holds its second community meeting on … Read More
