I learned recently that our president is the founder of ISIS, and Hillary Clinton is ISIS’s Most Valuable Player, and that she had to beat out Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez for the honor. Rodriguez got the last laugh though, besting Clinton in career home runs, 696-0. Hillary claimed she had the record, but she inadvertently deleted it when changing her Internet server.

Donald Trump’s ongoing “bromance” with Russia’s strongman Vladimir Putin may be more than meets the eye. The two just can’t say enough positive things about the other, leading me to believe that Putin could be Trump’s best man at his next wedding. Keep reading...
Donald Trump has already chimed in with a solution to Lemoore’s feral cat problem. He wants to build a wall around Lemoore and make the SPCA pay for it. Keep reading...
John F. Kennedy, in addition to serving as this country’s 35th president of the United States, once put pen to paper and wrote a fairly impressive and important book, which eventually became a classic treatise on an array of Americans, who during their remarkable careers as representatives of the people, managed to place country ahead of self and party.

Kudos to the backers and organizers of Kings County’s Measure K effort. They nearly pulled it off, and if there are enough provisional ballots left, who knows, they just might put the local public safety measure over the top. Keep reading...

In today’s world, we play for just about everything online. We can order our food online, buy a car, read the news (preferably The Leader), pay for our credit cards, and of course buy a book. For years now just about everything we desire can be paid for or purchased online – that is except the City of Lemoore water bill. Keep reading...
The Lemoore City Council gave its city manager a raise Tuesday night – and that’s a good thing for Lemoore and its citizens. While less than a year on the job, the talented Andi Welsh has helped to bring a sense of stability to local government. She hasn’t done it by herself. Keep reading...
I know you’ve been kicking yourself wondering which of California’s 427 official cities are the 10 dumbest? Good news. Lemoore is not one of them, thanks in huge measure, I truly believe, to the very high percentage of Lemooreons who read The Leader on a regular basis, thus enhancing their ability to comprehend Donald Trump.
