VOICES

MY THOUGHTS - I’m sure all of us have had people in our lives who either started or steered us along a certain path. 

PROP K - Firehouse #23 is situated on 5th St., in the heart of Downtown’s Skid Row. It has seen better days.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - For years, official Los Angeles has been free of religious and ethnic bigotry. 

THE MIDTERMS - Elections are never easy to predict. But whatever the outcome of America’s Midterms next month, it does seem certain that vast swathes of the American electorate will be largely ignored.

ACCORDING TO LIZ - He. She. They.  Hey, what about We! 

THE DOCTOR IS IN - Democratic leaders from the President on down are wrongfully blaming Paul Pelosi's dreadful assault (he appears to be recovering, thankfully!) on "those MAGA Republicans",

GUEST COMMENTARY - The media’s double standard with regards to what races are competitive is especially glaring, when it comes to the marquis Senate races...

TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS - British Prime Minister Liz Truss recently resigned after just 45 days in office, disgraced by her own economic prescriptions.

NUCLEAR DISASTER - The possibility for using a nuclear device in the war in Ukraine seems to increase, with both Russia and Ukraine blaming each other, while the rest of world watches in fear of a nuclear confrontation of ominous consequences.

STUDENT DEBT - People who don't learn from their history are doomed to make the same mistakes again and again.

THE EASTSIDER - This election offers a very clear choice for voters.

RENT OUT-OF-CONTROL - While more and more Americans struggle to pay wildly inflated rents, Big Real Estate executives are splurging on superyachts, car collections, and even a private audience with superstar rapper Drake.
