Mike O. - I have stated before that I am against redistricting in favor of either party. But, Prop 50 is surely a blatant attempt to disenfranchise 40% of the California voters. And that is surely BS. Have you even looked at the proposed redistricting? That is beyond absurd and even the m…

For starters, any freebies should be subject to a 'means test'. Go to some of these distribution centers and watch the high-end cars with the remote trunk opening feature being loaded up by the well meaning volunteers. Some evidence should be provided instead of just having free loaders s…

You missed the most important aspect. You were able to march, and be silly at the same time, because you were CELEBRATING democracy. If Trump were a king you could have been among the first to be thrown in a dungeon.

Mike - the names of these entitled, sitting girls should be published and forwarded to those institutions that provide scholarships. Clearly, they should never be eligible for the largesse that our country provides for those who appreciate being and living here. Where are the parents of t…
