A second offering to Spencer Pratt, and 5 points about the L.A. mayor’s race

Well, I gave him a chance, offering my services.

I was willing to give the young novice a primer on what a mayor can and can’t do, and let him know City Hall is a reality show like no other he’s been on. But Spencer Pratt didn’t call me in response to my column last week.

I did, however, hear from a slew of his most ardent supporters.

Steven C. had this to say: “You’re a left-wing idiot, and … it’s time for you to retire. You’re a joke!!! You always have been!!! God bless Spencer Pratt and the 45th and 47th President of the United States Donald Trump!!!!!”

You may be onto something, Steven!!! I’ve been thinking about retiring!!!! But then a former reality TV star like Pratt comes along, launches unholy attacks on the huddled and unhoused masses, and tells Vanity Fair he had a chat with God, who told him He wants Pratt to be mayor of L.A!!!!! With people like this running for office, how can I retire?!!!!!

R.W. wrote to say: “You say Spencer has never done anything in his life…What credentials do you have? From what I’ve read about you, you are a lousy commie journalist who has never accomplished anything in your life!!”

Just recently, R.W., I replaced a broken toilet tank flush valve and I learned two Willie Nelson songs on the guitar. That’s not nothing.

Peter did not mince words: “Your piece on Pratt is a hit piece filled with bull— . You should go f— yourself before someone takes you out, which is the appropriate response to a s—bag like yourself. So please f— off and drop dead, which is exactly what you deserve.”

Peter, I did drop dead once. Cardiac arrest. While on the other side, I saw God, who told me...

Señor Lopez appears to be another tragic case of high self-esteem for no apparent reason.

Spencer Pratt doesn't have a great deal of time for people who's pronouns are:

ME, MYSELF, and I

These leftist idiots at the LA Slime are desperate for readership. The paper has literally reduced its size—it is now a few inches shorter and less wider. I was approached by a man inside a grocery store asking me to sign up for a subscription. I replied “you could not pay me to read that paper.” He had no reply. No one will miss it when it folds and its billionaire owner hopefully loses a mint.

In 2015, political outsider Trump had no shortage of insiders who wanted to “help” him. There were hiccups along the way, to be sure, and he benefitted from a couple of insiders who weren’t pushy or public about helping him until they were hired. And he won.

I know little about Spencer Pratt, but he seems to be doing his best to avoid Tar Baby (including association with President Trump, which is a distraction for his particular campaign).

Back in the day it had great Sports and Entertainment sections.

Pratt’s biggest obstacle is the fact that the rats count the votes

Spencer Pratt has no chance in November.

That’s like almost every newspaper today. A while back, I decided to buy a copy of the local newspaper at the grocery store because I was curious as to how it changed since I last remembered looking at it often.

It was much, much thinner than I remembered, there was almost no local news and probably 50% of what was printed was just stuff from the Associated Press, etc.

Mills didn’t have enough money. Plus no pizzazz. Completely uninspiring.

The LA Slimes gives ‘advice”?
From mere leftist journalists?
Bwahahahahaha!

When we lived in Simi Valley the LA Times would drop free copies in our driveway. We told them to stop, but they wouldn’t. Then I told them we’d turn them in for littering. That ended it.
