I'M CONFUSED, WHAT IS IT LAUSD? DO WE HAVE MONEY OR NOT, OR DO WE NEED THIS STUPID BILL TO BUY PROPERTY BY E.DOMAIN? HOW MANY OVERPRICED PARCELS DID WE BUY AND WERE OWNED BY VILLARAIGOSA, HIS FRIENDS, FAMILY, HUIZAR AND HIS FAMILY, GLORIA MOLINA AND HIS FAMILY, GONZALEZ AND HIS FAMILY? THIS IS WORST THAN MEXICAN POLITICS, TOO CORRUPT TO BE HAPPENING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

"Westin Bonaventure hotel executive Peter Zen dropped his effort to force a citywide vote on the plan, which allows a 1,100-room hotel near the Los Angeles Convention Center to keep up to $270 million in municipal hotel taxes it is expected to generate over the next 25 years."

Millions More
A Tale of Two Cities: From DC to Toledo
"While Clinton was putting more Black men into prison than at any other time in our nation's history, Maxine Waters was comparing the Lewinsky hearings to slavery. While Clinton was pushing to spend hundreds of million on "crime prevention", former Black Panther and Chicago Congressman Bobby Rush, went to bat for Clinton on his crime bill and then Rush voted for it to boot."

FREEDOM FOR IRAQ
(By Ben Johnson
FrontPageMagazine.com)

A party with a rather undiscriminating guest list. Among those eligible to vote was any detainee who had not yet been placed on trial – including Saddam Hussein. U.S. forces, whom the terrorists and the Left portray as brual “occupiers,” set up voting booths in the “gulag” known as Abu Ghraib prison. (How long before Maxine Waters adopts this as a precedent for her pet project of giving the franchise to American felons?)

What's interesting are the sponsors. Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Maxine Waters, both liberal Democrats, and Republican conservatives Sen. John Cornyn and Rep. Richard Pombo joined together like birds of a feather on eminent-domain-abuse legislation.

African Americans and Latinos are the #1 victims of violent crime in the U.S. The #1 killer of African American males between the ages of 13 and 25 isn't cancer, but homicide. Yes, we need more money to cut crime in our neighborhoods.

I think we can take responsibility for the conditions in our own communities and NOT blame the President.
