Anaheim Council vote on this is tonight (one week before Election Day!) Will Council go against staff recommendation and approve this very dangerous housing project, and then "pray for the residents daily" as Planning Commissioner Lucille Kring promised to do? THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

Including the PRECEDENT of a well-connected developer being able to run roughshod over public safety.

Actually I wrote "Rosas, Maahs & Ahmad" in my title but the editor reversed it; apart from that they didn't change (much). Sorry it's subscription only:

I am urging you to vote for Francisco Rosas, Kristen Maahs, and Ojaala Ahmad, for one more baby step toward an honest City Council.

We hope District Attorney Todd Spitzer proves us wrong here, but time is running out.

We hope that Spitzer proves us wrong.

The sorrow and the pity. The sound and the fury. The Mishegas and the Desmadre of Anaheim District 5!

This is crazy.

Our South-County Republican correspondent reflects on this past dismal decade for his Party:

Well, THAT was an unspectacular decade for the OC GOP!

I guess it was only a matter of time, with these Lying-Cheating-STEELS.

Not quite so successful the second time around!

Another example of the day-to-day injustices against the homeless in Costa Mesa & OC...

Your legal system at work.

New open thread on the blog. Hey, do you guys think that if Trump wins, the oligarchy is planning to use the 25th amendment to get rid of the lunatic so that JD Vance can be in charge of implementing Project 2025? In any case we need to pay more attention to this Vance character.

Take this Vance more seriously, he could be our next nightmare President soon!

Wherein we investigate if Jamie Valencia is a fake candidate like three other Fullerton candidates.) Spoiler alert - she is not! Worked on this a long time, and I think it's very fair and even-handed. But also FUN!

Jamie Valencia is NOT a fake candidate. And much more...

With some much-needed fun at Matt Cunningham's expense!

Vern already wrote about this, but hearing from a different point of view - from an independent South County Republican - Aliso Viejo Mayor Mike Munzing's war against the "woke" Boys and Girls Club sounds even more outrageous. Check it out - by "South County Paine!"

Aliso Viejo needs to be reminded of this shameful episode!

Ten years ago on OJ Blog: We'd pretty much already lost the war against Toll Lanes on the 405, when unelected CalTrans took up the unpopular torch from mostly-elected OCTA... but OCBC's Lucy Dunn pi**ed me off when she celebrated it with her usual "If only people were educated they would support this [huge taxpayer ripoff.]" Meanwhile OC Republicans were trying to use the issue to win the upcoming election, even though there was nothing partisan about it... and TRAVIS ALLEN (remember him?) was already showing himself to be a sellout. https://www.orangejuiceblog.com/2014/08/ocbcs-fatuous-lucy-dunn-celebrates-imposition-of-405-toll-lanes-and-is-travis-allen-a-toll-troll/
