Check this out, folks!

Can this be right? Did I hear "Fortunate Son" as a soundtrack to the military parade? Troops marching to a Vietnam era protest song. Have to wonder what great mind came up with this.

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Supporting the troops in practice looks like not sending them off to war and ensuring veterans are taken care of. Today’s parade is a waste of taxpayer money.

How about celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army by fully staffing and supporting the VA, along with giving our soldiers and veterans the benefits and respect they deserve.

What do you know? Decsions and actions have a ripple effect.

Deep peace of the gentle night to you...

I lived in Los Angeles for many years. I love the city, and I'm thinking I'd like to see it liberated from Kristi Noem.

Brian Wilson single-handedly raised the bar on how to write and arrange a great pop song. He inspired and touched so many songwriters, including me. It pushed the Beatles towards Sergeant Pepper and in God Only Knows he created a masterpiece that remains unmatched to this day. God speed, Brian. -pg

RIP Brian Wilson, an incredible talent.

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.

If the nature of your job requires that you wear a mask to hide your identify and you're not Batman, then something is wrong with your job.

He also swims in sewage infested water.

This is a pretty important point!

I remember when Pope John Paul II toured the U.S. and drew 63,000 to Dodger’s Stadium in 1987. It can be hard to explain what a big deal the Pope is.

Thank you Glendale! Proud of my California "home town."

Quote of the day, from Gavin Newsome, Governor of California: "We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved."

Let's face it, he's putting the whole country in a cage fight for his own amusement.
