How do we stand as a school district with regards to our previous superintendent’s high-minded, five-year goal of bringing District employees’ salaries up to “within” the median salary for L.A.

Since Barack Obama’s greasy Organizing for Action group jerked the trigger on last month’s mudslide of phony protests – nationwide — at town hall meetings of Republican legislators, it is entirely logical for President Trump to suspect the shadowy ex-president of wiretapping at Mr. Trump’s Trump Tower headquarters. Especially in view of Mr. Obama’s teeth-baring hatred of the president, here … Read More

Flamboyance is one quality shared by several of the leading candidates to succeed Jerry Brown as governor. No one ever accused Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, the former mayor of San Francisco, or ex-Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of being boring.

Many times I have said there doesn’t seem to be a day, when you don’t hear about a child being killed, tortured, raped. What makes the situation even more horrendous is that in many … Read More

Slowly but promisingly, President Trump’s magnificently crafted and spoken address to Congress two nights ago may be bringing around some of his most resolute rivals.

Measure S – restricting development all over Los Angeles, especially in South Central where residents are frantic — is the most confounding, intriguing line on Tuesday’s countywide election ballot.
