Government. Coequal. Our president is not above the law. Justice serves the people. It doesnt protect the powerful. Justice is blind. What we saw yesterday in plain view, was another violation of this nation. Not only do we see the failure to protect one of the three branchs of government, but we saw a clear failure to carry out equal justice. They used to say in the senate excuse a point of personal privilege. An hour and a half after the chaos started i got a text from my granddaughter who is a senior in her last semester at university of pennsylvania. She sent me a photo of military people in full military gear. Scores of them lining the front of the lincoln memorial. No one can tell me that if that had been a group of black lives matter Group Protesting yesterday that they would not have been treating very, very differently than the mob of thugs that stormed the capital.

Slapped on surveillance camera. The 17yearold Francisco Martinez of Oakland High School describing this. An incident caught on School Surveillance may 19th, showing the wheelchair bound martinez apparently being roughed up by the School Security officer. I just want to see justice to happen i dont think its fair for this event to occur in a school where im supposed to be coming in safe. These are the foos that show a black eye from the attack. Martinez, at this time was in handcuffs and the teen concedes he did spit in the guards face. I was in handcuffs. Now, some students are coming to mitchells defense, displaying signs and circulating a petition. Were promitch. The incident was not right. Very disrespectful for the student to do that to him. I think students are looking at it from a teenaged perspective. We have to take a look from an adult perspective. That is their opinion. Theyre not going through the pain im in. Its okay whatever they have to say. Mitchell was arrested and char
Clear, cooler inland. Breezy downland. Foggy and sunny. My forecast zone goes all over. The low cloud deck in place getting helped along. Water temps are still cold. 40s and 50s. 40s a couple on the lows but mainly 50s. I think a lot of these will not go very far. Fairfield gusting to 30. That is the extra hold. When you get that delta breeze, that is a sure sign inland temps will be cooler today. We do look for the low clouds to peel back to the coast. Summer pattern. Heres sal. All right. We are look at a commute that is that has a couple problems on it. First of all lets go go to the bay bridge toll plaza where traffic moves along pretty well. Your drive time should be eight minutes getting into San Francisco. I want to tell you that one person is facing dui charges after a Chain Reaction crash in san jose.

Westbound 680 from crow canyon. There is a crash. The wreck is being moved to the side. Look at this westbound 580. We have a drive time stretching to more than one hour to drive between those two points. Are you kidding me for a monday . That is just horrible traffi
Biography which ive never been able to explain, but it happens. After i finished my last book, which was the third of a trilogy on Theodore Roosevelt i was looking around for another subject. My agent said to me, what about edison . About time somebody about did a book on him. I said i dont think i want to do another enormous biography, so i said no to the idea.
