There are now fewer candidates actively seeking the 48th congressional district seat that Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Putin’s Sleeping Bag) is trying to keep. Not that the June primary election ballot will reflect that. Candidates who exited the race after the March 9 filing deadline remain on the ballot. On Thursday morning, Republican businessman Stelian Onufrei […]

In a tale of two city councils, Los Alamitos and Yorba Linda traveled down different paths towards the same goal of opposing the California Values Act last month. The roaming pro-Trump circus packed Los Alamitos’ tiny chambers on Mar. 19 in supporting the city’s effort to adopt an ordinance opting out of the “Sanctuary State” […]

Scott Baugh, the former California Assembly Republican leader and Orange County GOP chairman, should feel honored. The re-election campaign for Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Cambridge Analytica) put out its first mailer sliming a candidate seeking the incumbent’s coastal Orange County congressional seat. However, the mailer’s target is not one of the six Democrats who have been […]

Background: I, a 21-year-old male, enjoy receptive fisting. I’ve also had constipation problems all my life. Question: I saw my doctor recently, and he tried to link my enjoyment of anal sex to my constipation. (Granted, I didn’t tell him EVERYTHING I do down there.) My understanding was that there was no causal relationship, assuming […]

By Samuel Paramore For a long time, Orange County’s preferred public image proclaimed itself a white suburban wonderland. The hard-working immigrant communities that are its backbone are made to be unseen, save for when they’re bashed for political expediency. Immigrants, undocumented or not, are always exploited for their labor and when it comes to their […]

  Before letting police officers answer questions on the witness stand about possible crimes, prosecutors usually establish credibility by eliciting their work experience. Most cops impressively recall the day, month and year of every promotion, even in multidecade careers. But recently inside a Little Saigon-area courtroom, Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) deputy Cyril Foster appeared […]
