I am an Environmental Health and Safety Professional, as well as a science/technical writer for a variety of news and professional publications. I have been a citizen activist since 2009, and am one of the co-founders of the San Diego-based group, Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition.

One of my guilty pleasures, movie-wise, is a 1992 film called "Universal Soldier." The movie's plot, such as it is, involves two rival soldiers who were killed in Vietnam and brought back to life in an experiment to create superhuman warriors. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliff wrote that China subjected members of China’s People’s Liberation Army to human experimentation to create “biologically enhanced” super soldiers.

Legal Insurrection readers may recall that California Gov. Gavin Newsom was forced to apologize after a news report surfaced that he attended a fancy dinner party honoring a top political adviser, which occurred as the governor discouraged households gathering together for their own parties during the upcoming holiday season.
