Thank you, Maam for demonstrating the true political bias of the rag you write for. Undoubtedly, you are one of those who believe that women should have the right to kill their children. Sick!!!

You think that Pothole VanderPoel is actually Benny Corona? Proof please other than you are disagreeing with his/her comment. BTW per the 2020 consensus Tulare County racial makeup is Hispanic 39.4%,
Pacific Islander 34.9%. Native American 3.6%, African American 2.2%, White 1.4%, Asian 0.1%, and other races from two or more races 18.2%. Based on these statistics does anyone really believe that the racial makeup of the BOS truly reflects the racial makeup of Tulare County? One could even take this further, what does the four-men and one-woman ratio on the BOS say about a fair and balanced BOS.

You, Benny Corona, are a troll. Mr. Vander Poel has done more for District 2 than most BOS members before him. He has lived the majority of his life in District 2. You are a transplant in this district, part of a racial scheme to gain majority of the BOS. The people see who you truly are and it will reflect at the voters box.

Your sarcasm is seriously not necessary. Dave presented a real fact, you inserted a poor effort at turning the tables. At the end of the day the real facts remain the same; there is a Congressional Black Caucus and the Senate is merely the Senate. Nice try.

Pete Vander Poel’s participation in the Legacy Church Forum—an event criticized for its exclusivity and perceived anti-Latino bias by shutting out all candidates except a select few, including Vander Poel—raises significant concerns about his ideological alignments. This decision to engage with such a forum, juxtaposed against his criticism of the League of Women Voters for alleged bias, paints a telling picture of his political ideologies and priorities, suggesting a selective approach to voter engagement that prioritizes certain audiences and platforms over open, inclusive discourse.
