North Coast Repertory is reimaging theater. Its season opener, "Necessary Sacrifices" by playwright Richard Hellesen, can be seen from the comfort of your living room. Originally commissioned by the Ford Theater in Washington, Hellesen expanded on the original vision by including one of Abraham Lincoln's visitors to the White House. It was the first visit from Frederick Douglass, and amazingly as it sounds now, Douglass just walked in and asked to see Lincoln. His second...

Recently, a letter by Orolie Gubser answered the question “Why vote for Trump?” in great detail. Her reasons are my reasons and then some. One reason she mentioned was “I am voting for every unborn soul that Democrats want to murder.” This statement should be much more specific, and it is also made much more powerful when it is focused on the Democratic Party’s standard bearer, Joe Biden. Biden has said on many occasions that he is a “practicing” Catholic. Very recently, at the Republican Convention, Lou Holtz indicated tha... Full story
The 2019-2020 legislative session ended Monday, Aug. 31. During the two-year period, 5,423 bills of all types were introduced. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, we had two unexpected shutdowns, and in the last weeks, some members were absent and Senators were forced to vote remotely. At one point, there was an unsuccessful attempt to limit Senate debate to save time. In a normal year, the fate of much important legislation is often decided during the final few days, but...

How far is too far? Where do you draw the line? We have young people who have been raised in the most prosperous time in history in one of the most free societies on earth, if not the freest. And I believe our tolerance has opened the door to our possible downfall. Young people who are being used for political gain decry capitalism and corporate America, but they can’t live without their cellphone, internet, cars, scooters, clothing and food they buy in a drive-thru or just p...

The sky is green. Telling me differently won’t change the fact that the sky is absolutely green. Presenting me with photographic evidence otherwise, showing me scientific proof thanks to thousands of hours of hard work by unbiased scientists won’t convince me. The sky is green. Do you know how I know? Because I believe it to be green. Gone are the days of my reliance on elitist experts, proof and evidence. All I really need is my belief system, my echo chamber of associates, YouTube videos, my chosen political party lea... Full story

This September‚ I would like to recognize all these California Heroes in my district. If you know of a California Hero who you wit... Full story
It is hard to believe how we have got to the point that Democrats are intentionally fomenting racial discord between Blacks and Whites, and all for the expressed purpose of gaining political advantage and retaining a core constituency group. But alas, it is happening yet again. Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and even California state Sen. Holly Mitchell are all calling for reparations because of slavery and the historical mistreatment and repression of blacks in America. Slavery and systemic racism have become the preferred...

Let’s start with the good news. Your continued pressure has been felt in Sacramento, and some businesses are able to reopen, at least partially. I’ve talked to many of you who didn’t know if your business would be able to survive any more shutdowns. I know those in the hair and nail salon industry go through extensive safety training to receive required state licenses, and I’m glad to see that they are able to open at full capacity with appropriate safety measures. Now, he... Full story

Nineteen years ago, Sept. 11, 2001, an unexpected attack occurred in America. My desire and motivation for starting the Remembering 9/11 Art Competition was to remember this very tragic day in our history. The attack on 9/11 on American soil took us all by total surprise. The shock of the attack is still hard to comprehend. Residents of New York and Washington D.C. went to work or went about their day as usual. Many of them died that tragic day and so many of our first respond...
