EDITORIAL: Santa Monica Council Needs to Listen to Experts and Keep Rent Control Intact
The old adage that nothing good happens after midnight was on full display last Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning in the chambers of the Santa Monica City Council.
Please Don’t Feed The Cheney
Some have fallen under an odd hypnosis and are declaring Congressmember Liz Cheney a kind of national hero for standing up to House Republican leadership over the January 6 domestic terrorist assault on democracy. They have also praised her performance in the January 6 Select Committee hearings, where sure – she has delivered admirably.
Sheriff Villanueva: King of the Jerks
He fooled a great many of us. Campaigning for Sheriff in 2018, Alex Villanueva talked up his Democratic registration and campaigned as a reformer, saying one-term Sheriff Jim McDonnell hadn’t succeeded on a number of fronts, including reforming our jails and weeding out bad actors in the department. He even said he would no longer allow the department to collaborate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), intended to add more than 800 deputies to fill out the department, and that we couldn’t solve crime by simply adding more jails.
UPDATED: Brock Responds to “Phil Brock Has Officially Gone Full Phil Brock”
Well, it’s official. The big, gregarious, ego that is Phil Brock is showing a militant side. The man that has managed to charm, perhaps even hypnotize, thousands of Santa Monicans into seeing him as their civic Messiah has finally crossed the line enough that someone has to say something.
