VOICES

ACCORDING TO LIZ - Yesterday was National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, a time of figurative rending of garments and reliving one horrible incident – Japanese Zeros dive-bombing the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor out of the rising sun. 

LABOR WATCH - U.S. Rail Unions went into this bargaining season with not a single day of paid sick leave in their Contract.

MARK, MY WORDS - “The good old days.” I suppose it means something different to everyone depending on political point of view, cultural background or any number of other things that make us who we are.

GUEST COMMENTARY - Antisemitism in any form is deeply offensive. In recent weeks, however, we’ve seen examples of two types of Jew-hatred that represent different kinds and levels of threat.

RAILROAD WORKERS - The United States Senate acted in a show of rare unity recently in voting 80 to 15 to pass a bill forcing rail workers to accept their employers’ contract offer without a strike.

ELECTION ANALYSIS - Social Security was on the ballot in Georgia’s December 6 run-off election. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock’s re-election is a win for working families.

GUEST COMMENTARY - The LAPD has a double standard when addressing disciplinary complaints on Command Staff Members vs. rank-and-file members.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - On December 3, 2022, the mentally challenged Donald Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution."  (Bold added) 

POLITICAL COMMENTARY - Breaking news: After years of failed Republican efforts to uncover any proof of widespread voter fraud by Democrats, Republican Governor Ron “Tough Guy” DeSantis of Florida found not one, but 20 ineligible people casting ballots.

THE DOCTOR IS IN - For any Jew (or a friend, family member, or sympathizer to Jews in the nation and abroad), it's become pretty clear that the historical go-to for blaming the Jews still exists. 

BORDER SECURITY - It is unusual when a government official gets fired for poor job performance. Not because they perform their job duties well. It’s because the bureaucracy protects them.

GUEST COMMENTARY - It’s more than a bit bizarre that until Elon Musk bought Twitter, most policy types apparently did not see a risk that huge platforms like Facebook and Twitter could be controlled by people with a clear political agenda.
