A Vote for Hillary Is a Vote for ‘Amerika’

To all of my Hillary-supporter friends, acquaintances and enemies: I have been a registered Democrat since 1972. I was an intern in Washington, D.C. during the...

Happy Federal Holiday

I am sick of politically-correct, low- information people. They name-call straight talkers whom they disagree with as racists or bigots. Time to stand up to these...

We Should Have Killed Hitler

Regarding the controversy over accepting Syrian refugees: Much has been said lately about the 1939 plight of 908 Jewish refugees from the St. Louis who...

Zirgulis Files a Protest Over His Exclusion

I have sent a letter to School District Supt. Dave LaRose about being frozen out of District "stakeholder" meetings. I also sent a copy to all the School Board members. I wonder how...

Impulsively, He Showed His Gratitude to a Veteram

On Christmas Eve, I was anxiously waiting at the United Airlines arrival gate to greet my brother, whom I had not seen for three years.

To set the record straight, I turned in my final campaign expenditure report, Form 460, which shows I only spent...

Pooling His Resources, Zirgulis Signs up for Natatorium Campaign

Yesterday was the first day of School Board candidate lawn signs. I have been planting the seeds about fixing our Natatorium, and I hope to get the lawn signs like the one pictured in front of the Natatorium sprouting up all over Culver City.

Zirgulis’s Opening Thrust Clicks, He Says

I kicked off my campaign for School Board last Saturday with a BBQ-Yard Sale and petition-signing, calling for the Fixing of the Culver City School Natatorium swimming pool. The response to the petition signing was...
