    Trump Does Some Name Calling – What Else is New? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    GELFAND’S WORLD - People were surprised when President Trump changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico and then abolished Lake Ontario. It was also a bit strange that the term “Artificial Intelligence” is to become “Super Intelligence,” also referred to as SI, since the acronym SI is already taken. It refers to the system of weights and measures (grams, meters, etc.) accepted all over the world. More recently, Trump has tried to work on state names beginning with New Mexico, albeit with

    Neighborhood Council Congress: What Worked, What Didn’t (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    GELFAND’S WORLD - Most of us understand that the City of Los Angeles is in trouble and needs to do some serious self-evaluation. Nobody understands this better than neighborhood council participants, who gathered at the L.A. City Hall in our twenty-fifth year of existence for a meeting that is oddly referred to as the neighborhood council congress. I say “oddly” because our annual meetings, governed by a group of self-appointed insiders, have turned these meetings into propaganda pieces fo

    Karen’s Big Mistake (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    GELFAND’S WORLD - Have you noticed that every time the tv news features Karen Bass, it then cuts to some homeless tent camp? It’s not unfair, really. Bass made curing homelessness her core issue, and has presided over the spending of zillions of dollars in the attempt to make good on her promise. It’s fitting that the news media remind viewers of her failure, even if she wants to tell us that she has been a teensy bit successful. I think that it is hard for the mayor to climb out of the ho

    The White House, the Press and the Politics of Payback (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    GELFAND’S WORLD - It was at a meeting involving local volunteers who work for a student science initiative. There were also officials from the home office in Washington, D.C. I was chatting with a couple of folks from the home office and, although we were all being circumspect, I chose to break the ice politically just a bit. Referring to their home town, I casually suggested, “What I’m surprised about is that there are any buildings left in your city.” I thought that this might inspire some ret

    US Will Forbid Imports Of Prescription Drugs From Canada (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    GELFAND’S WORLD - The silly squabble that Donald Trump has provoked with Canada is now about to claim even more victims. This time, it’s your neighbors and maybe even yourselves. It’s also a remarkable piece of hypocrisy on the part of the Republican establishment. The issue is that lots of U.S. residents have been using Canadian pharmacies as the source of otherwise extremely expensive prescription drugs. Now the U.S. is telling these people that there will be a ban on such imports as of Octobe
