LOS ANGELES

GUEST COMMENTARY-Trump cannot go unpunished this time.

Despite protests from President-elect Joe Biden and other officials that the Capitol insurrection was “not who we are,” the U.S. government has a long track record of disrupting democratic processes elsewhere.

GUEST COMMENTARY-Freedom of speech is my writing this article. 

FASCIST POLITICS--As I write this, pro-Trump protesters have stormed the U.S. Capitol building seeking to impose Trump’s attempted coup on America.

LEANING RIGHT-We can go on and on about how the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic was predicted to be worse,  and  certainly was, as borne out by the evidence and everyday reports.

MY WAY--Every problem we presently face as a society has an historic context during which it was mistakenly allowed to start and continue to grow unchallenged.

PLANNING WATCH-Whether you call it Reaganomics, neo-liberalism, trickle-down or supply-side economics, privatization, or deregulation, failure is certain.

GELFAND’S WORLD--I thought I was done with all of this, but I keep getting dragged back.

GELFAND’S WORLD--Tuesday and Wednesday were very good days in a pretty good week, in spite of what some members of congress may have said.

PANDEMIC PARTY HOUSES-The list of problems our city government has left to fester is long and troubling, and party houses operating in short-term rentals sat far from the top of that list.

RANTZ & RAVEZ-Hello and happy 2021 to all Rantz & RaveZ readers.

GUEST COMMENTARY-Stay positive and test negative.
