Opinion: Unsustainable pay, benefits breaking National City’s budget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
National City is a cautionary tale of what happens when a municipality lets its compensation get out of control. The problem was laid out in stark detail in the four-document report City Manager Doug Schulze gave at the Sept. 1 City Council meeting. Schulze, a veteran of more than 37 years of local government management, was hired in June after three years of turmoil at the South County city. From fiscal years 2024 to 2027, revenues rose from $75.8 million to $76.4 million. But expenditures soar
Steve Hilton takes on California’s status quo — and a media-shy opponent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The editorial board’s recent interview with Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton underscores why California in some way, somehow, needs to return to a two-party system. So does the refusal of his opponent, Democrat Xavier Becerra, to talk to us. With so many festering problems, the state does not need a governor who avoids the press like a shy California pocket mouse. After the June 2 primary, Hilton said, he’s been invited to many debates. He accepted them all. Becerra “only accepted

Read excerpt
President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement was one of the most enduring in American history. It lasted ten years. It began when he came down the escalator at Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 and announced his presidential bid and ended when he attacked Iran on Feb. 28, 2026.

I tuned into the Sept. 9-10 Repu
John Seiler: The moral cost of Trump’s Iran War (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John Boyd, who died in 1997, was America’s greatest strategist. In 2003, just after the Iraq War started, associate William Lind explained that one of Boyd’s “most important contributions to military theory was his observation that war is waged at three levels, the physical, the mental and the moral. The physical level is the weakest and the moral level is the strongest, with the mental in between.” This same insight applies to President Donald Trump’s war in Iran. Trump and Israel began the Ira
America’s troops need a new Truman Committee (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Bullets, bandages and beans,” with variations, is an American military adage going back many decades. It means the crucial task of the civilian leadership and military officers is to bring the troops the ammo to fight, medical care to keep them fighting and, especially, good food. Even in peacetime, military training is strenuous and requires extra calories. In wartime, even more so. That’s why it’s inexcusable President Donald Trump and those below him in the chain of command allowed their mil
