Like the final score of a ball game, the most important dimension in the annual community ritual of counting the size of the homeless population is the number itself. That will have to wait, probably for months, says Dr. Ira Diamond, chair of the Culver City Homelessness Committee. Community totals from the 84 cities in Los Angeles County pass through … Read More
A Shabbos Not Likely to be Equaled
Rabbi Yonason Abrams and Ari L. Noonan
Dateline Temecula — In the midst of the happiest stretch of my life last week, an old friend telephoned. “Nearly a year has gone by,” said Rabbi Yonason Abrams. “Come to Temecula for Shabbos,” and that was the linchpin for one of my most memorable adventures in the last 40 years. For any remotely serious Jew, prospects were irresistible for … Read More
Bixby Seeks to Quell Latest Immigrant Fears
Chief Bixby
Here are the three most crucial words that Culver City Police Chief Scott Bixby will deliver this week. Or probably any week that President Trump is in office: Nothing. Has. Changed. There has not been any form of communication from Washington to Culver City on immigration or any other topic. “I know people were and are upset and panicked,” Chief … Read More
Barack and Johnny’s Sneaky Closing Act
Mr. Obama
Those prolonged sirens you have been hearing this week were rushing to President Trump to check his accelerated heartbeat because of his blazing workpace. Toiling tirelessly, as promised, Mr. Trump has performed more work in three days than His Predecessor did in his final months. His Predecessor, gifted with an invisible work ethic, preferred slipperiness to labor. You are not … Read More
A Closeup of Homelessness Tonight

Re: “How to Help the Culver City Homeless” The ubiquity of homelessness is a modern phenomenon, isn’t it? When Culver City officially counts its homeless population – after volunteers gather at 8 this evening at the Senior Center – it will be an act of admirable contemporary compassion. This is an elaborate apparatus that is engineered and operated by the … Read More
January, March…What Happened to February?

After 2½ million Jenny Craig dropouts answered the question, “how do single gals leading empty lives kill a Saturday afternoon?” an estimated two ladies agreed that last Saturday’s “Girls Against Something/Anything, Aren’t We?” march was useful. “I lost 4 pounds,” boasted a bulgy middle-ager who said her dad fought (at) the Battle of the Bulge. “Me, too,” nodded her chubby … Read More
Jews Who Hide Their Jewishness
"Man with Blinders" by Steven Kenny. http://www.stevenkenny.com/
Obsequious Jews are easily recognizable – by ear and by sight. They troll and stroll the streets in outsized blinders. Trying not to look Jewish, their No. 1 goal every morning is to seamlessly blend into the Gentile population. At the Jewish Journal, a weekly publication for Jews uncomfortable with Judaism and Jewish life, the editor practices being obsequious as … Read More
How to Help the Culver City Homeless
Dr. Ira Diamond
Re: “Counting the Homeless” One of the critical nights of the year dawns tomorrow evening when Culver City locks arms with the rest of Los Angeles County to count the obviously homeless men, women and children. It was 43 degrees in the darkness of this morning. Who can imagine sleeping in that frigid weather with no hope of escaping inside … Read More
This Is Easy. Cover Trump as You Covered Obama

The skin color of liberals is irrelevant. It is the fabric of their slender skin, as delicate as toilet paper. There is a correlation. When President Trump called out the dishonest liberal media on Opening Weekend, the guilty bullyboys rose up on their hind legs, howled, and then collapsed. Toilet paper often does. No change. The liberal media was equally … Read More
State Chooses a Soft New Enemy to Stump Trump
Mr. Becerra
In a state where more illegal aliens vote than in any other, a new sheriff has been chosen. Hmmm. By reputation, the sheriff is a sweetheart who could get mowed down, unnoticed, in the next gunfight at the O.K. Corral. After flunking its Saturday Night Live tryouts, our powder-puff state Senate voted 26-9 to confirm a new attorney general. Xavier … Read More
