California Leads The Nation In Bringing Back Medieval Illnesses

Diseases the modern world virtually eradicated are making a resurgence in California

Every single city run by democrats is a disaster. Every one. California is an entire state run by Democrats that is now essentially a garbage heap. The reason why they are able to retain power though is because all of the sheep who follow them still believe that all of these problems are caused by Republicans. That is despite the fact that Republicans haven't had substantial power in California in a decade.

How Southern Cal athletics got caught in college admissions scandal

Admissions consultant William Singer allegedly worked with USC senior associate athletic director to get students admitted as walk-on athletes.

I worked hard to get into USC. As an alumnus I noticed years ago that the entire idea of the "Trojan family" is a marketing ploy and a lie. In my case, I had serious concerns about professors at the school, antisemitism, and Holocaust denial. SC literally wouldn't even meet with me to discuss these issues. They ignored dozens of calls and emails. They are frauds. I am assuming that it is the same at all of these schools: MONEY is all that matters. for them.

And of course the excuses for this hateful piece of bigotry is that the “artist” is exercising his “freedom of expression,” and all of the antisemites can’t wait to defend him. But we all know that if a similar piece was aimed at the black, gay or transgender communities, all hell would be breaking loose right now.

City Mobility Plan in Freefall - Santa Monica Mirror

In their latest column, SMa.r.t. takes a critical look at the City of Santa Monica's Shared Mobility Plan for dockless scooters and bikes.

"Alarming injury rates involving electric scooters are emerging from emergency room data gathered by the press about such programs in Santa Monica’s and other cities. “Scooter Use Rising in Major Cities. So are Trips to the Emergency Room.” Washington Post, 9/6/18 – citing trips to SM emergency rooms. “Bird Scooters-So Much Fun, So Damn Dangerous.” LATimes 7/6/18. The City keeps only partial records of scooter injuries, not including local emergency room records.

Unfortunately, there is also evidence that scooters’ growth largely comes from replacing healthier alternatives such as bicycling, walking and taking buses, rather than mostly reduced reliance on cars. Bike Share’s precipitous fall may be due in large part to the rise of scooters. The City’s inadequate record collection and analysis impairs its ability to assess electric scooters or the new pilot program better."
