Trump's Local Congressional Tag Team in Trouble

Posted: 09 Jun 2016 10:08 AM PDT

Two high-profile Congressional supporters of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump are in the news this week. A loss of voter support for down-ballot legislative seats is considered one the biggest challenges for Republicans in 2016.

Congressman Darrell Issa's surprisingly weak showing in the primary has delighted Democrats. Ex-marine Douglas Applegate is garnering national attention after a strong showing in a district that's been a lock for Republicans in the past.

Congressman Duncan Hunter is under fire for comparing a Latino bar association with white supremacist groups in a radio interview with Fox News Sean Hannity about Donald Trump's accusations regarding U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel. [Read more...]

City of San Diego Ballot Proposals Promote Police Transparency, Human Services

Posted: 09 Jun 2016 09:23 AM PDT

Women Occupy San Diego address Citizens Review Board on Policy Practices inadequacies (again); Democratic Woman's Club advocacy for City of San Diego Department of Public Health and Social Welfare

Keep an eye on some of the new ballot proposals that have been filed recently with the San Diego City Clerk. These proposals reflect focused citizen participation that offer correctives to the city's Citizen Review Board on Police Practices (CRB) and the county's meager health and human services. These small "d" democratic efforts also happen to be spearheaded by women. [Read more...]

Sore Loser!

Posted: 09 Jun 2016 07:05 AM PDT

Sore losers! you sneer,
because they question the way the game was played.
Cheaters! they cry,
because it just doesn't make sense
the way it went down,
compared to what they saw with their very own eyes.
Just politics.
That makes it all OK,
As if this was just a game of chess,
With nothing lost but the round,
unless you waged a bet. [Read more...]

San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, Judge Curiel and Trump Attacks on Independent Judiciary

The San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association along with Tom Homann LGBT Law Association and Justicia Criminal Defense Lawyers announce their response to Donald Trump's misleading remarks regarding the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association and his repeated comments regarding U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel.

By Luis O. Osuna, San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association President

In recent days our organization and Judge Curiel have become the targets of Donald Trump's attacks. The comments made by Trump have been misleading, blatant lies and even racist in nature. Given the amount of attention that Trump's remarks have produced, this statement seeks to clarify who we are as an association, our purpose and the abject impropriety of Trump's criticism of Judge Curiel and his attacks on the independence of the judiciary.

The Tijuana River Valley Community Garden

Posted: 09 Jun 2016 06:40 AM PDT

By Barbara Zaragosa / South Bay Compass

The Tijuana River Valley (TRV) was once filled with vegetable farms, dairies and ranches. As a matter of fact, the famous horses Trigger and Seabiscuit were boarded here. Today, many ranches still pepper the TRV. You can take horse rides out to the beach or buy vegetables at Suzie's farm stand on weekends. Along the road in this sleepy area the TRV Community Garden also rents plots to local residents.

The Tijuana River Valley Community Garden has a simple goal: to promote healthy and fresh grown produce in a diverse community environment. [Read more...]
