Kamala Harris Could Lose Seat on Senate Judiciary Committee

By Stephen Frank on Nov 28, 2018 09:44 pm
Does it really matter to Kamala Harris if she is on the Judiciary Committee, the Oversight Committee or Commerce Committee?  Based on her questioning of judges and Supreme Court nominees, she neither does her homework or care about the facts.  She does care about being on the news and making headlines.  Guess she learned that […]

By Stephen Frank on Nov 28, 2018 09:36 pm
The City of Santa Monica is anti-food and anti-free choice.  As for me, I am not a fan of Wendy’s—but that does not mean that I want to stop your right to eat their burgers.  Santa Moscow wants to use the power of government to control the people. “At their regular meeting tonight, the Santa […]
