Regional planners are revisiting a proposed connection between San Diego International Airport and public transit through a new San Diego Metropolitan Transit System Trolley alignment.

The renewed interest in a potential Trolley link comes after the region’s planning agency, the San Diego Association of Governments, went back into the modeling process for the long-discussed project in February over discussions with federal transit regulators.

Ah… the good life.

I couldn’t help but think as I tried to fall asleep the night of the election last week, after we were assaulted with the news that Trump had somehow won — Trump who wailed for four years that the 2020 election was “Rigged!” “Stolen!” and claiming that he, “Trump!”, was “The legitimately elected President!”, that Biden had an “inside operator” who “fixed the whole thing” to ensure Trump would lose.

I haven’t been able to sleep for over a week now, pissed off that that guy the Dems hired to steal the election again from Trump… HAD FAILED TO DO HIS JOB! WHERE WAS HE?! We learned from Trump that DEMS STEAL ELECTIONS!! WHY WASN’T THIS ONE STOLEN FOR HARRIS?! CAN’T THE DEMOCRATS DO ANYTHING RIGHT??!! I mean, we gave the Harris campaign nearly TWO BILLION DOLLARS! For two billion bucks we couldn’t even get a decent rigging using Hunter’s new laptop? ARRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!

Ok. Too soon. But am I at least allowed to make the case that if Trump was indeed the real winner in 2020, then by law he’s already been elected twice — in 2016 and 2020 as he’s said over a thousand times! So, per the Constitution, no president can be elected a third time! Right?

Here are a few more of the facts that we can confirm are correct but you won’t see much trumpeting of them in the mainstream media:

Nationwide, Kamala Harris won the following:

• all Independent voters,
• all Moderate voters,
• all Women voters,
• Black voters,
• Latino voters,

High mountains in San Diego County — such as Mt. Laguna, which sits at 6,000 feet — received their first snow dusting over the weekend. Here’s the view next to the Mt. Laguna Lodge at 6:45 this morning, Monday, Nov. 18.

Frank Gormlie, editor here at OB Rag, is having a book-signing event with his new book, The May 1970 Rebellion, at La Playa Books in Point Loma on Saturday, November 23rd.

The book-signing will be from 2 to 4 pm at La Playa, located at 1026 Rosecrans Street, San Diego, CA 92106-3019 — their phone is (619) 226-2601. As it’s a weekend, parking should be relatively easy.

The book covers the May 1970 student upheaval caused by President Nixon’s invasion of Cambodia and the subsequent repression. Currently, it’s in an ebook mode — and the paperback version Print on Demand (POD) is also available at Amazon and at Barnes & Noble. (The paperback is in two volumes.)

Come on America.
You vote for, perhaps, the most loathsome
excuse of a human being
ever born in the Milky Way,
then have the nerves
to talk a lot of bullshit
about how Kamala Harris
gave the election way.

Stop it, I say.
You’re way the hell off base,
as this election
was, aside from being laced
with strong traces
of sexism,
mostly about race.

The 2024 Susan G. Komen San Diego 3-Day walk kicked off at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Friday morning, November 15th, with local residents and supporters across the country coming together for a 60-mile trek throughout the San Diego area.

Participants have spent the months prior raising money, a minimum of $2,300 each, that will go toward efforts to fight breast cancer. As of current, the event has an impressive track record and has already raised more than $160 million for the cause, officials with the fundraiser confirmed.

King tides are expected to return to San Diego’s coastline this weekend, thanks to the gravitational forces of the moon and sun.

What causes this cosmic phenomenon?

Put simply, king tides are a result of how far away the sun, moon and Earth are positioned from each other.

As explained by officials with Sea Grant California, the moon’s pull is about twice as strong as the that of the sun, which is why Friday’s full moon comes into play. Also known as the Beaver Moon, it’s the fourth and final supermoon of year. It will look bigger and brighter than usual as it comes within about 225,000 miles of Earth.

Why Can’t Humans Be More Like a Tortoise?

Avoid the rush. Escape the dreary news and get to the San Diego Zoo’s 140th birthday for “Grandma” Tortoise!

Seriously, “Grandma” Tortoise is celebrating her 140th birthday on November 15th.

She is an “endangered species” from the Galapagos Islands. Only 15,000 of the 200,000 of these magnificent creatures remain on the islands where Darwinian “evolutionary” history began.

Even today, those ten Galapagos islands shelter only 12 remaining species of Tortoise.

Hey, If You Can Kill 20 Million Native Americans, Enslave 12 Million Africans, and Let Biden Fund the Slaughter of 40,000 Women, Children and Elderly…
— Of Course You Can Install a Rapist/Felon/Fascist as your President! In the Meantime, Breathe, Take Care of Yourself, Read a Good Book.

If you stop and think about it, we’ve come up with a lot of doozies in our history. Like the genocide of 20 million Native Americans. Or the enslavement of 12 million kidnapped Africans. Or us invading Vietnam and killing 4 million Asian people for no reason at all. We are not a good people.

We have a non-stop cavalcade, a sordid laundry list of evil deeds that led us directly to last week, to the point where we the people, by popular vote, elected a 34-time convicted felon, a fascist, and a civilly-charged and convicted sexual abuser to be our 47th president of the United States. And we did so after he clearly and quite honestly warned us that he was going to do a mass round-up and deportation of nearly 15 million people. And that he would consider executing people he referred to as “the enemy within” (i.e. his political opponents and those who were disloyal to him).
