Hamadeh’s $10,000 reward for information on rival’s attackers rings hollow

Sun City reader cites congressman’s silence on supporters’ comments about Greene-Placentia, unreleased Epstein files and his defense of Tate brothers

Independent Newsmedia/Charlene Bisson

OPINION — Abe Hamadeh and Bernadette Greene-Placentia are running for the Congressional District 8’s U.S. House seat.

Personally, I default to believing women who come forward with news of an assault. Sadly, I am seeing horrific comments online by Hamadeh supporters. Horrendous comments accusing her of lying or gloating that she deserved it, that they wished they had been there to help and on and on.

The news was appropriately focused on this tragedy, in my opinion. Then came the announcement that Hamadeh was putting up a $10,000 for the arrest and conviction of the men responsible. Frankly, that does not add up for me.

Big snag with GLP-1 program

OPINION — When President Trump and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz announced the creation of the GLP-1 Bridge Program last year, many Americans might have thought the administration had cut a deal that would drop the price of GLP-1 medications to $50 per month for anyone looking to lose weight.

Midterms are really about who controls the money

OPINION — Less than two weeks from Election Day, every headline is heads down: polls, turnout, which party takes which chamber. That is my disappointment with mainstream media.
