… the history of the country. You may be wondering why I am in Thailand and not somewhere in the United States. Why am I in a country 9,000 miles away from home when I could be shooting this movie anywhere in America including Los Angeles. In the case of this film, the answer is more complicated than in others. The location of this film is South East Asia and, it is directed by a Thai national. That is not always the case. And, more often than no…

Maurice Gordon Chase was born in the small town of Dinuba California on March 17th 1919. He would later study at St. Paul’s College in Washington and be ordained by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen in 1953. It would not be for decades that this soft spoken Catholic Priest gained the name most of us here in Los Angeles knew him by “Father Dollar Bill.” In his early days Father Chase worked at ministries all over Southern California.

…n the nomination in 1964, but suffered an horrendous general election defeat which so split the party that it retreated to what it viewed as a safe choice, 1960’s failed candidate, former Vice President Richard Nixon, who had lost to John F. Kennedy by a mere 100,000 votes in an election that was probably stolen by Democrats in Chicago. Nixon was a consensus choice, who, Conservative in his tough-on-Commies history, was able to reassure enough Li…

My brother in law, who goes to USC, contracted mumps. Which was crazy to me because isn’t mumps a rather obscure disease? I mean, didn’t it kind of go extinct in the 1950’s? According to my pediatrician, an outbreak of mumps has occurred in Downtown Los Angeles. Upon further research, I have found that an outbreak of mumps has also occurred in Berkeley.

…mic turmoil. However, nothing comes close to what is happening now in what used to be the greatest State in the union. According to the most recent reports, the unemployment rate in California has reached 12.2%. The rate in Los Angeles County is at 12.7%. Some cities within the county such as Compton and Commerce are over 20%. These are all far worse than the national rate of 9.8%. What makes these numbers even scarier is that they have not hi…

… and Texas are now home to 4.7 million of the 11 million illegal immigrants the Department of Homeland Security estimates are in the country. Pretty sobering stuff to say the least. For those of us who live in and around the Los Angeles area here are some additional numbers provided by Heather MacDonald in a 2004 article, The Illegal-Alien Crime Wave: • In Los Angeles, 95% of some 1,500 outstanding warrants for homicides are for illegal aliens….

…d bridges and put people to work. Sounds like the “New Deal” right? Wrong. Only 48 billion or about six percent of the bill will go to infrastructure. And, a big chunk of that is for a high speed railway between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. This sounds like a good idea, except for the fact that Senator Harry Reid from Nevada who is up for reelection in two years pushed this piece of pork into the bill in order to keep his constituents happy. So muc…
