In an ongoing audit of Los Angeles’s homeless spending, Judge David O. Carter expressed frustration over the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s (LAHSA) failure to provide necessary data. The judge emphasized that a lack of documentation indicates a lack of work and pressed LAHSA to expedite its reporting, operating on his timeline instead of its own. The absence of data hinders efforts to assess the effectiveness of public funds in addressing homelessness, a central concern of a lawsuit brought by the LA Alliance for Human Rights. The judge warned of potential sanctions, including the appointment of a receiver to oversee homeless services, if compliance is not achieved.

As news headlines flash across our screens, exposing the deceit and corruption that run rampant in our society, it’s easy to become desensitized to the endless stories of individuals using their power for personal gain. However, when the curtain falls on someone like former Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel, a self-proclaimed MAGA darling, the shockwaves are almost palpable.
This man, entrusted with the safety and well-being of a community, shamelessly abused his position to finance a lifestyle of opulence and extravagance that was beyond belief. The laundry list of criminal charges against him, ranging from theft to money laundering, leaves a bitter taste in the mouths of those who put their faith in him to uphold the law.… Continue reading
As a concerned citizen, I am deeply troubled by the recent news that Oklahoma schools are purchasing bibles that are linked to Trump. This raises serious questions about the integrity of our public education system and the separation of church and state. Why are public funds being funneled towards a specific vendor, especially one with ties to a political figure? It is disappointing to see money meant for educating children being diverted in such a manner.
The fact that these Trump bibles are the only ones that meet the new criteria for purchase is concerning, to say the least. It appears as though the criteria were intentionally crafted to benefit a specific vendor, creating a monopoly on the sale of bibles to schools in Oklahoma.… Continue reading
The recent news of Sarah Huckabee Sanders violating Arkansas law with a pricey purchase of a lavish lectern has left many of us questioning the integrity of our political leaders. The fact that she spent public funds on a trip to Paris for her friends under the guise of buying an expensive lectern is not only unethical but downright criminal.
It is disheartening to see someone in a position of power abuse their authority for personal gain. Sanders, who comes from a political background, should be held to a higher standard of accountability. The audacity she displayed in trying to cover up her misconduct is a clear indication of her lack of respect for the law and the people she was supposed to serve.… Continue reading
I cannot believe that Gov. Sanders has declared a state of emergency ahead of the upcoming eclipse. The reasoning behind this decision seems dubious at best, especially considering the absurd suggestions and comments that have surfaced in response to this announcement. The idea that there might be a shortage of essentials due to the influx of eclipse watchers is laughable. Are we really expected to believe that the sun not shining for a few minutes warrants a state of emergency?
It is concerning to see taxpayer money potentially being misused under the guise of preparing for the eclipse. With accusations of funneling funds to herself and her associates, Gov.… Continue reading
I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief at the news of the US town’s $565,000 sand dune project being washed away in just a matter of days. It seems almost comical how individuals trucked in massive amounts of sand, thinking it would protect their seaside homes, only to watch it disappear with the tide. The irony of the situation is almost poetic in its own right – a failed attempt to defy nature’s forces with nothing more than loose piles of sand.
It’s baffling that these homeowners didn’t consider the long-term effects of their actions. True coastal sand dunes are vital for beach stabilization, yet what they created were nothing more than temporary mounds of sand.… Continue reading
