| As a result of the recent mid-term elections, Orange County, California is now represented in Congress solely by Democrats. What was once a bastion of Republicanism has made a sharp turn to the left, mainly due to demographics -- as wealthy white families have shrunk in size and/or moved to other p... |

| No law should tell any women what to do with their body. It's their body, I totally agree with that. But saying that men have absolutely no word is just plain wrong. Childrens also have impacts on men. We don't live in the 50s anymore you know. Imagine a situation where the boyfriend wants a child ... |

| I don't mind if a man has an opinion on abortion, I just have a problem with a man imposing restrictions on what a woman can or can't do to her own body. Thank you. That's what I've been trying to say all along. If we decided to send people to war by voting and only men were sent to war, then I wou... |

| What about women who have always been infertile? They much like any man can never become pregnant. True but most of them don't know it and most conditions that impact a woman's fertility do not leave them infertile but just with low fertility. The only women for whom infertility in the sense of not... |

| In an effort to shutdown the Central American caravan, President Trump signed an executive order, requiring all asylum seekers to make their claim at a Border Patrol "port of entry". Anyone entering the US illegally will automatically be denied asylum and presumably arrested. Here are the... |

| The bottom line is that Trump is blaming the fires on California's restrictions on commercial conifer logging, despite the fact that one of those fires is not in a conifer forest, or forest at all, and most wild fires in California are not in conifer forests. In fact, the conifer forests in southern... |

| One could cut down every single conifer in California and there would be no fewer fires. It's actually difficult to set a living tree on fire (with the exception of eucalyptus), and what is actually burning at the start of most California fires is dead grass, and shrubbery, the latter which can grow... |

The apologia for Trump's spiteful and inhumane responses to the devastation of this tragedy are a political narrative divorced from realism.
Malibu is fairly far from any forest. |

Watch for fire experts on tv, who will be telling us all the things they could do done to minimize this and save lives. It's like if a child is failing in s... |

That is, those who can raise the most money are the ones selected for leadership roles. Other issues, like policy, ability to pass legislation, leadership abilities, abili... |
