UCLA Shamefully Condones Students for Justice in Palestine

USC, my alma mater is just as bad. Universities are dominated by the far left and the far left is extremely antisemitic. I would have far more respect for the people who facilitate that embrace of hatred if they were honest about it. But they aren’t. They cloak it all with fake claims about tolerances, free speech, and diversity.

“Imagine if the KKK asked to hold a conference at UCLA. Does anyone seriously believe that the administration would allow it to take place, or make excuses about the Klan having a First Amendment right to hold the event?”

Hollywood Bigwig Booed, Escorted From Stage At Israel Film Festival In L.A. After Anti-Trump Rant

A Hollywood producer was booed and escorted off the stage at the Israel Film Festival after making anti-Trump remarks -- even though he was there to receive an award.

WOW. A heavily Jewish crowd in Beverly Hills tried to physically remove this guy from the stage and then walked out! So much for the myth that all LA Jews are liberal (this one isn’t).

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."
