First of two parts. You missed a delicious high-calorie reading feast last Friday if you did not see the Farewell to Jon Stewart edition of the deadly dry Los Angeles Daily News. They took their cue from the sagacious Obama administration that global warming is a darned bigger threat to your safety and mine than the pipsqueak possibly Christian, possibly Jewish, possibly Bahai but definitely not Islamic terrorists who only chop off heads 21 at a clip. With that, the Daily News’s barbershop journalists’ choir tuned up, pulled on their mud-splattered clodhoppers, and sprinted through …

How do you say “ain’t no horse there” without overtly confessing, ain’t no horse? This is the Lyin’ Brian Williams-type of sin the Los Angeles Times committed this morning. They were not candid. They skirted the truth. For a change, though, we agree with these typically unreflective leftists.

Mayor Garcetti has promised that every military veteran in Los Angeles – the world record 20,000 who go homeless every night – will be housed by the end of the year. I presume His Honor intends to bind himself to the final car out of town on Dec. 30. Not for the first time, the lightweight champion of City Hall made an ignorant, impossible-to-keep, Obama-style bogus promise.

Fruitlessly, I have been trying to think of a single contemporary galvanizing black leader who would stand up today for under-siege Jews the way Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did in the 1950s and ‘60s. Jews with towering profiles and thousands of faceless Jews were at Dr. King’s side throughout his dozen-year gallop across America’s darkest corners, helping him to illuminate and largely eliminate racial bigotry.

Hollywood liberal racists are like a homeless hound dog – if you don’t regularly feed them shards of glass, they will snarl until you do. This afternoon the liberal Hollywood dogs are barking because only white ladies and white gentlemen were nominated for best acting awards for the Oscar derby. In their limited scope, this is truly important.

An update for the many friends of Ken Ruben, who suffered a serious stroke two weeks ago today or two weeks ago Tuesday: Lodged (temporarily) – since Monday – at Country Villa Mar Vista – he is more alert and somewhat more aware than in the days immediately after he was felled. Progress, but…

Davy Maharaj, the cowardly News editor of the cowardly Los Angeles Times, pulled on his favorite frilly pink panties yesterday, swished from the water fountain to his desk, cogitated for one predictable moment and reached an unstartling decision. Glancing groundward to determine if his girly pink sox were drawn up snugly, he worriedly declared that one of America’s most cowardly newspapers would continue to burp, shake and wobble at the prospect of offending Muslims, the lousy ones with guns and the good ones hiding deep underground for the rest of their feared lives.

All you need to know about New York City’s radical leftist mayor is that he married a lesbian. She swore she had reformed herself and sworn off women.A pity for New Yorkers. Philosophically, Chirlane and Bill de Blasio would be more comfortable had they parachuted into …

“Truth is not a left-wing value,” the smartest political observer in America tells his audiences as daily evidence overflows his Los Angeles office. Cheating at the polls comes as naturally to this crowd as breathing. That is why in recent years, as Republicans have gained control of states, they have passed a passel of stern voting laws designed to make liberal cribbing more complicated.

To the surprise of no adults in the room, first-year state Assemblywoman Autumn Burke has nabbed the smartly stitched hem of her mother’s fashionable skirts, clicked the “off” sign on her thinker, and braced, smilingly, for a 20-, 30- or 40-year free slide to political stardom – however long she plans to feed at the public trough by scamming voters.
