This has been a problem for years and I’m so glad people are finally speaking up. Before all you trolls jump on the dog hater wagon let me say that I love animals too and have had many pets over my lifetime. I am not entitled and choose not to let them infringe upon others. Your so-called “support” dogs are supposed to be on the ground on a leash, not in the cart where I put my food or my purse. At the beginning of the CCP virus, when it was proven that animals can carry the virus as well as humans, there were no restrictions... Full story

SACRAMENTO – Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) issued the following statement on SB 1165 being signed into law: “I am thankful Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 1165 into law.

I think I will use the liberal actor Alec Baldwin as an example, since he has similar beliefs as J.H.T. Take the Rust shooting incident on Oct. 21, 2021, with actor Baldwin. He said on a T.V. interview, he only pulled the hammer back. He did not pull the trigger and would never point a gun at anyone. Also he said someone is to blame for the shooting, but it’s not him.

I will refer to the author of the subject letter above as simply “the author.” The author is “anxiously awaiting” my report on the “carnage” at our southern border. Sorry, I don’t report on things that don’t exist. Yes, our southern border is a problem: a problem that is being addressed. Helpful hint: Just because Trump said it, doesn’t make it so. Also, among other things, Trump called the illegals crossing the border “animals, criminals, and rapists.” Again, not supported by the facts. Here are some documented facts. “Co... Full story
Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75th District California’s mental health system is struggling to keep up with demand. Those seriously in need of treatment are trapped in a rotating cycle that takes them from living on the street, to the emergency room, sometimes to jail, then back to the street.

Today, only about a third of Californians with mental illness receive the care they need, and 31... Full story
