Every time we think we’re finally rid of “Madame District Attorney” AKA Pamela Price, she arises from her coffin, stalking the streets of Alameda County like a vampire.

 “We need more revenue to build more affordable housing,” Lee told her campaign managers. Her chief-of-staff, Eric Duong, said, “Yes, but where will the money come from?”

Trump and the stooges he sends out to talk on T.V. are telling us, “Yes, things are not so good right now, what with the inflation and tariffs and stock market crash and collapse of consumer confidence. But hold on! Things are darkest just before the dawn. We’re going to have the greatest economic boom in history, so just hold on tight and trust President Trump.”

I wrote a while back that, at the very least, you can say in Barbara Lee’s behalf that she’s never been involved in a scandal. But that’s no longer true. Since Loren Taylor’s campaign released facts about Lee’s paid travels when she was in the Congress, questions are now being raised that suggest Lee was the biggest grifter in the House of Representatives for years.

I must admit, Loren Taylor has been an emotional roller coaster for me. I wrote earlier that, while his approach to the issues leaves much to be desired, I’d hoped that, once in office, with his intelligence and beneficent spirit he would find the confidence to do the right things. What are those right things? If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know.
