Newsletters like ours, along with Social Media, are the media now.

911 in Crisis Across the State, but Especially in Los Angeles

The MainStream seems to be ignoring this as hold times continue to grow.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• So the City of Los Angeles responded by CUTTING emergency services.

• Myriad calamities could hit the city of Los Angeles in coming years: Wildfires. Floods. Mudslides. Drought. And of course, the Big One.

• Yet this month, L.A. leaders once again balked at dramatically increasing the budget of the city's Emergency Management Department, even as the office coordinates recovery from the Palisades fire and is tasked with helping prepare for a variety of disasters and high-profile events, such as the 2028 Summer Olympics.

• Facing a nearly $1-billion budget shortfall, the L.A. City Council voted 12 to 3 last week to pass a budget that rejected the funding increases requested by EMD leaders to hire more staffers and fix broken security equipment around its facility.

Bond Money for Schools Misspent

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• A recent grand jury report criticizes the San Diego Unified School District for not providing voters with sufficient information regarding school bond measures.

• The report highlights that the district’s bond proposals often lack detailed explanations about how the funds will be allocated, making it challenging for voters to make informed decisions.

• This lack of transparency raises concerns about accountability and the effective use of taxpayer money.

• The grand jury recommends that the district improve its communication strategies by offering clearer, more comprehensive details about proposed bond expenditures.

• Such improvements would help build public trust and ensure that voters understand the implications of their decisions.

• The district’s response to these recommendations will be crucial in addressing the transparency issues identified.

• Enhanced disclosure practices could lead to more informed voting and better oversight of bond-funded projects.

• Overall, the report underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in public funding initiatives.

National Dysfunction

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• The article explores how professional societies—organizations that set standards, offer certifications, and shape best practices in various fields—have increasingly embraced ideological positions centered around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as well as radical gender theory.

• These shifts are not just internal; many of these societies receive substantial federal funding, meaning taxpayer dollars are indirectly supporting these ideologies.

• The concern raised is that this ideological capture doesn’t necessarily reflect the diverse viewpoints of all members and may influence professional norms and public services in a biased direction.

• The article questions whether such organizations should continue to receive government support when they promote specific, and sometimes divisive, social agendas.

• It emphasizes the need for transparency in how federal funds are used and suggests that Congress should be more involved in overseeing these allocations.

• The argument is that taxpayer funding should not prop up ideological advocacy disguised as professional guidance.

• Instead, the public deserves accountability and neutrality from institutions that wield influence across medicine, science, and other sectors.

• Ultimately, the piece calls for a reevaluation of the government’s financial relationship with ideologically driven professional societies.

San Diego Dysfunction

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• The article “Case Study Sandy Eggo: How Intergovernmental Lack of Coordination Exacerbates Homelessness Problems” explores how bureaucratic confusion is worsening San Diego’s homelessness crisis.

• Specifically, it focuses on the area near the O Lot Safe Sleeping site, where residents report worsening conditions—trash, fires, human waste, and encampments growing in size and permanence.

• The core issue is a jurisdictional gray area: the land is owned by Caltrans (California’s Department of Transportation), not the City of San Diego, limiting the city’s authority to intervene.

• This fragmentation of responsibility leads to a cycle of finger-pointing between agencies, while neighborhoods suffer the consequences.

• Residents have grown frustrated as the city receives over 300 complaints per month for encampments it legally cannot touch. In response, State Senator Catherine Blakespear has introduced SB 569 to mandate cooperation between state and local governments on homeless encampments located on state land.

• The proposed legislation seeks to close the coordination gap and accelerate action in these no-man’s-land zones.

• Overall, the case highlights how governmental misalignment—not just lack of funding or compassion—can be a major driver of homelessness-related dysfunction.

Guest Column

From the Stands to the Front Lines: A Father’s Call for Fairness

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• In the RedState guest editorial titled “From the Stands to the Front Lines: A Father’s Call for Fairness,” author Steve Williams shares the journey of his daughter, a dedicated track athlete who earned a scholarship to UC Berkeley through relentless effort and perseverance.

• He recounts her transformation from a soccer player to a record-setting sprinter, highlighting the sacrifices and challenges she overcame to achieve success in women’s athletics.

• Williams expresses concern over recent events at the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section Finals, where female athletes were outperformed by a transgender competitor, raising questions about fairness in women’s sports.

• He emphasizes that this issue isn’t about targeting individuals but about ensuring equitable opportunities for biological female athletes.

• The article discusses CIF’s subsequent policy change to allow additional at-large athletes to advance to state championships, a move seen by some as an acknowledgment of the current system’s shortcomings.

• Williams calls for policies that preserve fairness by maintaining sex-based divisions in sports, arguing that the integrity of women’s athletics depends on it.

• He urges governing bodies, from CIF to the NCAA, to implement rules that protect the rights and opportunities of female athletes.

• Ultimately, the editorial is a passionate plea from a father advocating for fairness and integrity in women’s sports.
