  • Trump doesn’t care about us!
    Trump is running his administration with the use of a super computer. People in the know know trump doesn’t read, work, or function normally. There is no clear indication that he believes in anything other than money. His family has free access to the White House and they asked for permission to hire cheap laborers, they employ illegals, and appear willing to engage in unamerican sentiments. Melania doesn’t care and this was on a coat that she wore. Everything she wears trump approves of. Therefore the trump White House behaviors border on the monstrous. Since we don’t feed monsters we can’t feed those in the White House.

  • Congress: Restore Bankruptcy Relief For Student Loans Now
    As Sen. Elizabeth Warren pointed out, bankruptcy is almost always a last resort and not the refuge of deadbeats. Reforming our bankruptcy code to include all student loans is not only the simplest and fairest solution, it is something that will solve the problems of debt-burdened citizens and free up economic growth that is now held back by obscene student debt.

  • No War with Venezuela
    Senator Rubio and his allies in the National Security Council are manipulating President Trump toward military intervention in Venezuela, so far without substantial resistance from Congress. Regardless of opinions about the effectiveness or legitimacy of the Maduro government, direct or indirect military intervention to replace it with a US client regime is an effort to reassert the Monroe Doctrine and will create a far worse situation for Venezuelans and for Americans. Political discussion between all Venezuelan political groups with the assistance of neutral international negotiators such as Mexico and the Contact Group should find ways to peacefully resolve internal conflicts. Important goals of negotiations are likely to include new elections for the President, National Assembly and Governors as well as the end of economic sanctions and domestic policies that bring hardship to the lives of most Venezuelans. Assembly Leader Guaido and the US government are orchestrating delivery of highly politicized aid on February 23 that is intended as a deliberate provocation, as reported in the New York Times: "Gaby Arellano, an opposition lawmaker in charge of the shipment in Colombia, said one of the goals was to force the military, which has remained loyal to the government, to choose between Mr. Maduro and feeding the Venezuelan people. 'Popular pressure to break the military, this is what we’re working toward,' she said.... Omar Lares, a former opposition mayor in exile in Cucuta, said organizers want people to surround an aid truck on the Colombian side and accompany it to the bridge. A crowd of thousands would be gathered on the other side to push through a security cordon, move the containers blocking the bridge, and accompany the aid into Venezuela. ... using a food shipment to challenge Mr. Maduro has concerned the same nongovernmental groups that would normally assist in such an effort. Caritas, the charitable arm of the Catholic Church, and the International Committee of the Red Cross have declined to participate, saying they must remain politically neutral.

  • Leveling Medical Requirements for Enlisted DOD Service Members Wishing to Commission to the Offic...
    After 15 years of honorable service in the Navy and seven combat deployments, Senior Chief Petty Officer Shannon M. Kent was seeking to commission in pursuit of a Ph.D. in military psychology. SCPO Kent was denied entry into Officer Development School because she was deemed medically unfit under medical standards for accession (DOD Instruction 6130.03) due to a brief bout with thyroid cancer two years prior. SCPO Kent sought a medical waiver from the Navy under MANMED Chap. 15. The Navy denied it. However, under medical standards for retention, the Navy simultaneously deemed SCPO Kent medically fit to deploy to Manbij, Syria where a suicide bomber killed her on January 16, 2019. This is an indefensible outcome as a result of a discriminatory DOD policy. In the wake of SCPO Kent's death, the Navy changed its waiver policy on February 5, 2019. However, if a service member is deemed medically fit to deploy to a war zone, they should not need a waiver for a commission in the officer corps. Thus, the DOD needs to change its medical standards for commissioning to obviate the need for a waiver altogether.

  • Keep Half-Price Books in Todos Santos Plaza
    Todos Santos Plaza in Concord, CA has a rich history as a gathering place, event space, and city center. It isn't just about Concord though - as a world citizen I am tired of seeing unique areas of cities being swallowed up by corporations pushing out small and/or unique retailers that we want, homogenizing our shopping experiences to the extent that regardless of where you go - you get to have Chipotle, The Habit, and some wing chain. My 18-year-old son has grown up with the Friday night tradition of walking to Todos Santos Plaza to visit friends at EJ Phair, walk over to Half Price to browse/shop for books/records/whatever - then head on home after picking up a burrito from Taqueria Los Dos Gallos. Why would we want to replace Half Price with a 5th bank location? Or another chain restaurant? Concord is proud of its heritage - but it is being ruined and replaced so that it is no longer unique or appealing at all. My son has always dreamed of taking over our house to remain in the area - but now even he is onboard with turning our home into a rental because the area is no longer charming - it's homogenized and completely uninspiring.

Angie would be kept somewhere for 9 days being tortured, raped, and given hardly any food or water. Her final fate was being left alive tied and her whole head duct taped with only her nose exposed. The temperatures were freezing and Angie died alone scared to death in the woods. Her wrists had been slit and a cut on her thigh was present. The final cause of death was hypothermia.
