Our dishonorable government
It becomes clearer every day, we are being governed by the most corrupt and inept administration in our lifetime. That Trump can still find ways to provoke our allies with juvenile name calling, insults and brain-dead tariff actions, please keep in mind that he did not accomplish the damage by himself.
He has been aided and abetted by elected politicians who have chosen their own self-interests over our country, who have meekly fallen in line with the incompetent nominees that Trump, and our national nemesis Stephen Miller, have foisted upon our government agencies and the cabinet, each one more unfit for duty than the last one.
When this administration is over, remember well all of the congressional geldings that Trump relied upon to wreak his brand
of havoc on our country. When held up to the light of truth in the aftermath of our wrecked economy, our undermined military readiness, our ruined alliances with friendly neighbors and NATO, and the startling open corruption of the Trump family, remember that this imbecile did not work alone. In 2028 the work to repair the damage will just have begun.

Trump’s 9/11 hallucination?
As a nation we remember the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the United States.
I knew several victims and two survivors in the towers. One is a certified hero who led over 100 of his employees out of Tower 2 despite being told to return to their office. The other was a U.S. customs service officer extricated barely alive from the rubble three days after the attack. My brother rushed to his hospital in Brooklyn to prepare burn salves for victims who never arrived.
So, when I hear the outrageous claims of a guy occupying the White House that he had to be rescued from the U.S. Steel Building in the course of false heroics, claims known to be false, it is easy to say he’s simply lying.
But, after years of serial nonsense and gibberish coming from his mouth and fingers, it appears we must consider another more terrifying but likely explanation. He’s hallucinating.

Rosuck is most qualified candidate
Would you let your accountant service your car? No. Nor should you trust anyone without deep, practical experience in the education system with decisions that directly impact the lives of our students.
That is why I am wholeheartedly supporting Dr. Ryan Rosuck for Simi Valley Unified School District School Board Trustee in Area E. Besides being a former colleague, I am lucky to call her a friend. Over the years, I have witnessed firsthand how her passion and dedication have positively influenced her students' lives.
With over 20 years of experience in education, Dr. Rosuck has proven herself to be a remarkably accomplished teacher and a strong administrator. In her classroom, students were challenged academically and taught to think critically, while in an environment where every student felt safe, valued, and cared for.
Dr. Rosuck understands that supporting teachers directly drives student success. In addition, as a parent with a child enrolled in the Simi Valley Unified School District, she recognizes the vital importance of the parent voice. She is a proven, collaborative leader who will listen to all perspectives while keeping the best interests of our students as her top priority.
To ensure every student has the opportunities they need to succeed in whatever path they choose, cast your vote for the most qualified candidate: Dr. Ryan Rosuck.
