Morena Blvd. on 1970 film footage
I'm fascinated! We grew up in Western Hills mid sixties Jim Morrison of the Doors was my neighbor on Arnott Street. We walked Morena Boulevard up from Sambos in Old Town after Gull and Rocket games! Even walked to Fon Jon Kennels in 1967! Remember working at a Chinese Restaurant on Morena Boulevard around 1970! We did triathlons on Mission Bay circa 1970! So many memories! thanks, Danny— June 20, 2019 8:34 a.m.
Cory Briggs runs for mayor of San Diego
If you mean her gambling addiction and financial affairs, in the main you are correct except not to make excuses but J David was worse under Hedgecock. O'Connor had her heart in the people, that is certain. She would be labeled as politically incorrect in today's San Diego Democratic Party, an organization of political prostitutes, sexually correct candidates, elites, charlatans and circus barkers. We must stop these abject fools at all cost!— February 3, 2019 8:34 a.m.
Cory Briggs runs for mayor of San Diego
I believe everyone on this thread supports Cory for perhaps different reasons but please keep in mind the $64,000 question that being is Mr. Briggs electable going toe to toe with the patron Saint from Hillcrest--"The Great Todd" and the little lady from La Jolla a well connected, well oiled insider to the Democratic Party? The answer is yes with a reserved caveat. Briggs as Mayor Mo did 35 years ago must organize a massive volunteer presence in order to mold a perception of invincibility. I urge everyone of you to volunteer now, not tomorrow but now!! I've been involved in San Diego politics since 1967. We can do this! The local San Diego Democratic Party of which I was elected years ago is as corrupt as they come. It's time that we mobilize now!

San Diego's political animals
I have a letter from King Golden when he ran for Congress plus 232 more from every politician in America going back to 1967. Did you know my Family has been loyal Democrats since 1918 exactly 100 years ago yet local Dems rated my San Diego City Council campaign as unacceptable. Who are these abject fools? Would you mind answering me, sir? http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2018/m… http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2018/m…— May 13, 2018 12:15 p.m.
Local Dems and GOP beat back the edges
Voting without prejudice on the San Diego City Council Sometime last year, the San Diego City Council voted on a religious organization moving into Mission Valley. What happened next should shock you. Despite the projects blessing from San Diego's planning department, at least two Council Members preferred a red herring approach by claiming foul facts. This appalls me as a candidate for City Council. I remember my Father telling me what a Catholic priest had told him before shipping out in the Pacific during WWII. The priest said, "Teddy, you don't have to like anyone but must love everybody." Voting of elected officials has somewhat the same import in being objective, steady and without prejudice. Unfortunately for our society, we are living through a history of identity and protected class warfare where we all become losers. The greater whole is lost upon tribes and their respective political infighting. This is unacceptable and as a candidate, I will not condone such intellectually dishonest acts of governance. When a religious organization comes before the San Diego City Council, it is outside government purview in considering personal beliefs of some church members. It is critical to stick to the facts in terms of land use, fiscal propriety and other pertinent neighborhood concerns but whether a congregator adheres to some religious belief is immaterial. There is evidence of this bias on the San Diego City Council. Scapegoating as a tactic in governance is totally unethical and must be curtailed. The use of red herrings in the public trust is at best shady and intellectually dishonest in that all votes ought to be cast without prejudice. My desire is to cast votes in clear harmony with truth, responsibility and in the public trust. Noteworthy perhaps, is the view of America's philosopher John Dewey, who despite a childhood rearing in organized religion had become distanced from faith throughout his career yet remained steady in his belief of religion as a pacifier within our human condition. My personal belief as a candidate is to stick with land use, fiscal responsibility, neighborhood desires and not to second guess a few folks social beliefs. I'll let the first amendment to the United States Constitution do it's job.— April 29, 2018 5:29 p.m.

Sir, My desire is to represent all people in my District! Danny— April 26, 2018 8:47 a.m.

Perhaps you have a valid point in "unconventional". As Churchill once said, "Never, never, never give up!" Considering as a former Ironman competitor, I have seen 99.99% of the American population giving up after 1/2 a mile, I suppose you are correct in that we are honestly a very conventional nation!

Just curious? Hope you are not referring to perennial candidates as less than honorable as I know at least one being President Abraham Lincoln. Please refer to TR's most eloquent circa 1911 speech at my old school the "Sorbonne." "Man in the arena"— April 25, 2018 2:02 p.m.

Now Jen Campbell's going after Zapf's seat
I enjoyed reading through the comments. I laughed so hard my belly burst over the weird moniker. I'm assuming the label was meant in a positive tone rather than disparaging. My votes on the CCPG are clear and unequivocal. As a real estate professional for the past 40 years, I support smart growth, affordable housing, higher density along the Mid Coast Trolley line and height limitations. My voting record reflects my beliefs. I am a former lifeguard at the old Mission Beach Plunge and will support our beaches, bays, estuaries and rivers. I am also a landlord renting to low income Veterans and the homeless. The PB Town Council selected me to present a Veterans plaque at the American WWII cemetery near my second home in Normandy. The French Prime Minister from Le Havre is a friend of mine as we are scheduled to discuss the Paris Accord this November. I am endorsed by no less than 23 local business owners including Baci's Italian Restaurant, Bay Park Fish, Espresso Coffee, French Gourmet, Papa's Pizza, El Rey Taco, Moraga Salon, Quality Bikes, Annies alterations, Lele's cleaners, Arely French Bakery and many more. I am a 50 year resident of this District having graduated from all local schools including SDSU and Alliant University. I am a former public and private school teacher in D2. I am a conservative Democrat. I will speak truth to power. I have the endorsement of at least 1000 local common San Diegans. I give at least 20% of my income to needy and worthy local residents. I seek nothing, I seek the public good, I seek truth and honesty and that's it! But most importantly, there is always some hidden goodness behind what some subjectively call interesting, weird or likewise. Choose your taught wisely. Be prudent and gracious as we are all working together for a better SD!!! God bless, Danny PS I am not offended by being called weird!! Not at all as I see it is label of appreciation for all my charitable work in D2 for the past 50 years. Danny http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2017/s…— September 24, 2017 6:04 p.m.
