    Jeffery Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is ready to reveal 'truth' of the pedophile client list, say insiders. So, why are Republicans blocking

    Oh! Now I finally understand the reference in Willis Alan Ramsey’s song Northeast Texas Women. “And if ya don't like love attachments, If your taste in women gets strange, Go on and spend the money my friend Down in old La Grange.” Ramsey was part of my crash course on Texas music by a long...

    Texas camp buildings were removed from map showing flood risks, US media reports

    I live in a general area known for its litigious nature. Reading about Camp Mystic and the flood map, I can see an advantage in being quick to sue at the slightest whiff of actions endangering the public good. Of course, this presumes the existence of local public interest groups without...

    DOJ Purge Ramps Up As Bondi Fires Her Ethics Chief

    Mr. Tirrell’s services are not needed by Trump’s DOJ even though it’s plainly obvious that those services are indeed desperately needed.

    Jeffery Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is ready to reveal 'truth' of the pedophile client list, say insiders. So, why are Republicans blocking

    As much as I would like to see justice for the victims of Epstein’s exploitation of minors for sex, the source is the Daily Mail UK. I’m not holding my breath. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-mail/

    Metric or Standard?

    Yes, I was trying to master fire for the barbecue by most every means possible (wouldn’t use that liquid charcoal lighter abomination) and failed miserably. I find myself doing more temperature conversions from Celsius to Fahrenheit than from standard measures to metric. Occasionally I try...

    Florida lawmakers allowed into ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ say detainees packed into cages

    If there were a reasonable path to immigration there would not be so many undocumented workers. They’re obviously finding work — employers are willing to pay for their labor — another indication that the system needs comprehensive reform. DJT’s solution is the result of listening to the wrong...

    Florida lawmakers allowed into ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ say detainees packed into cages

    The above ignores that our immigration laws are in crying need of comprehensive reform, and indeed incapable of offering a reasonable path to permanent residency. In spite of this, reform has been stymied by the GOP, even when having control of both the House and Senate. As long as our current...

    (CNN) US tomato prices could jump as soon as Monday

    My mother offered some pitiful amount per tomato (horn)worm I picked off the plants and sliced in half. Those creatures were too ugly, and the price too low to even consider the horror of that labor. At nine years old I was a horrible agricultural worker. On the other hand those zucchini...

    Florida lawmakers allowed into ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ say detainees packed into cages

    Shame on us. Self-vaunted as the greatest country on earth and DC is resorting to the methods of a spiteful despot accountable to no one.

    Florida lawmakers allowed into ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ say detainees packed into cages

    Certainly there were elected officials hostile to Irish immigrants. I recall reading quotations from elected officials in New York State and elsewhere decrying the possibility that the number of Irish immigrants could overwhelm the Protestant majority locally, and in the nation. I’ve just...

    Mayor of Perris CA warns residents to stay indoors to avoid ICE

    I admire Mayor Vargas for his moral stand against the methods being employed by ICE, and for protecting the city’s Latino population (77% of Perris residents) from profiling in DJT’s quest for impossibly high deportation figures.

    LA Mayor Bass Now Offering Cash Cards to Illegals

    I guarantee that ICE will not be showing up at Trump’s golf resort in Palos Verdes. Those gardeners, kitchen staff, and hotel housekeepers are exempt from examination . . . even though in the past there has been non compliance by Trump Inc. in hiring documented workers.

    LA Mayor Bass Now Offering Cash Cards to Illegals

    Kevin Kiley appears to be an idiot spreading unfounded rumors. Also appears that he know nothing about CHIRLA’s history or advocacy for immigrant communities.

    LA Mayor Bass Now Offering Cash Cards to Illegals

    CHIRLA has been active in the LA region since the 1980s-1990s so no doubt that the organization has been receiving funds for decades. The organization came to prominence as more and more refugees from the civil wars in Central America arrived here — many of whom settled in the neighborhoods...
