It’s critical that we are mindful of how we spend our entertainment dollars. When we drink beer that is not manufactured in our community, VC residents lose jobs and we lose what makes us unique.

A suggestion has been made that liberal Californians need to protect polling places on Election Day from ICE. Hear us out — sign up for Vote By Mail. It’s trackable and ballots placed in secure boxes around the county or mailed for free. Stop listening to white liberals who make up problems.

Now some will say Simi/Moorpark, too red. If we are talking electability, then walk away from Gorell’s seat. The local Dems have no strategy to address the issue of firefighter $ b/c there is no way they will allow Claudia Bill de La Peña’s (losing BTW) campaign mgr Ashley Orozco to win.
Local Dems poured money and time into losing Kelly Long’s seat two years ago. Yet this election, they are showing little interest in a strong candidate in Moorpark. Maybe it’s time to re-think who is running the local Dem clubs and party.

This rests upon Sevet Johnson and Kelly Long. Johnson is the one behind so many HR lawsuits while Long refuses to meet with voters with whom she disagrees. Jeff Gorell ended pediatric care at Los Robles. At least Mark Perryman who is challenging Gorell, has ideas.

Jeff Gorell bragged at the dais this week that he was responsible for reviewing LAPD’s excessive force (EF) cases til he was elected to BoS. Since ‘19, the city of LA has paid $20M+ in EF settlements. Yet, the only thing mainstream media is talking about is his $100K+ BoS re-election war chest.
