San Clemente is smart -- they don't want to be like us in Huntington Beach when it comes to fighting the state over the SB54 California Values Act re "sanctuary cities".

Adios to the last of my pre-tariff Mexican limes purchased for $0.59 each.

Huntington Beach City Attorney Michael Gates has no discernable humanity. He's urging President Felon to punish Los Angeles in a time of dire crisis.

Huntington Beach is being dragged kicking and screaming to switch to district city council elections.

In a tentative ruling ahead of a Monday 12/16 hearing on the city's defendant motion for summary judgment, the court writes that the plaintiff "has shown a likelihood of success on the merits".

Wow, Tesla FSD v12.5.4.2 was impressively courteous during morning rush today by leaving a gap for left-turning cross traffic despite no road markings or signs for "Do Not Block Intersection".

Newly sworn-in Huntington Beach City Councilmember Butch Twining calls for unity, but only among far-right conservatives. The rest of us simply don't exist to him.

Here is the despicable parting gift given by Huntington Beach Mayor Gracey Van Der Mark to outgoing councilmembers Dan Kalmick, Natalie Moser, and Rhonda Bolton.

Never EVER assume that a MAGA can't go any lower.

This is fine -- H5N1 bird flu is currently present in every SoCal sewershed testing for it. We'll be in for so much fun if bird flu becomes a pandemic under Trump/RFK. 😱

In a comment on my Surf City Sentinel page on FB, Gates says this outside law firm is working pro bono. But it's also a tacit admission that Gates doesn't have the skills to get out of the mess he got himself into.

HB City Attorney Michael Gates has spent YEARS saying that his politically motivated lawsuits don't cost us taxpayers anything because city attorneys are used. 😂

However, after getting his butt kicked on the housing lawsuit appeal, we're now paying for pricey outside attorneys to fight on. 🤬
