THE VIEW FROM HERE - When Angelenos allow craven political leaders to publicly place their own petty careers ahead of honesty, integrity, and the common welfare, we will reap what we sow. We need not rehash the decades of corruption to prove once again that is Los Angeles is corrupt. The main themes of the 2022 Mayoral Campaign between Karen Bass and Rick Carson were rampant corruptionism and the homeless crisis which corruption has brought upon Los Angeles.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - Sad to relate, feelings are not readily transferrable. Thus, Baby Boomers like myself are the only significant percentage of the population who can truly grasp the 1950's Politics of Hope, except maybe for more recent immigrant groups such as the Vietnamese. Hope arises when a people have suffered deprivation and then opportunity opens for a new era of prosperity.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - The title is intentionally superfluous since MAGA and Wokeism are comprised of true believers and will only read what totally endorses their prejudices. If they should begin to read my writings, they soon stop. Although a few do read enough to accuse me of being a Trump hater or a MAGA member. Polarization between the true believers in MAGA and in Wokeism poses an existential threat to the Republic’s survival.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - Since the time of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, Western Civilization has been discussing the two qualities necessary for good government. intelligence and integrity.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - To no one’s surprise, Los Angeles once again chose political vengeance above Truth. During the appeal hearing at city council on March 4, 2025, fired Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley and city councilmember Monica Rodriguez proved that every reason which Mayor Karen Bass asserted to fire Crowley was falsehood. Let’s be clear. The hearing did not posit two contrary allegations, and the council chose to accept Mayor Bass’ allegations.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - Our Republic is dying a horrible death because Americans preferred to support extremist power mongers, Wokers and MAGA. For years Americans were warned that a democracy is the quick road to tyranny because it has no checks and balances on power. The hallmark of a republic, on the other hand, is checking and balancing run-away power through the rule of law. The Constitution’s main purpose is to protect individual inalienable rights by creating a Republic.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - Mayor Karen Bass had only one criterion for her firing Fire Chief Kristin Crowley – Chief Crowley’s lack of personal loyalty to Karen Bass. Each and every excuse which Mayor Bass gave at her press conference was a falsehood. Donald Trump likewise requires personal loyalty to him and anyone who places their duty to the public ahead of kissing his posterior is fired or faces a barrage of unwarranted criticism.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - Palestinians have forfeited all rights to Gaza, Judea and Samaria.
On November 29, 1947, the UN General Assembly Resolution 181 set forth the UN’s Partition Plan of the British Mandate West of the Jordan River with one country to be formed by the Arabs and another country by Jews. The Arabs rejected the entire Partition and each and every clause in the Partition.
