I appreciate you Jeff just keeping it real. Thank you.

I appreciate you and your column, even though I don’t always agree with you. I absolutely agree with you about Dem. Kim. The same argument is being used for the governor’s race. Love Katie Porter? Great. But don’t throw away your vote and give the governor’s office to a lunatic Republican. Party matters, especially now.

Thanks for giving us a bite of reality. Keep up the good work.

I give you a BIG PAT on the back not just because you see things as I see it but because it’s reality with some lightheartedness and earthiness! After 34 yrs in the OC it’s about time to have someone like you echoing what a lot of us feel!💪👏

Jeff- I appreciate you as well! I am trying to stay informed, am a 6+ year member of the amazing DWSOC club, attend many political fundraisers/debates and send out emails to 70 friends trying to keep them informed especially about the realities of our jungle primary governor race. I am in CA-40 district and I have a Lisa Ramirez lawn sign and agree she is the best candidate by far! And yet I hadn't really absorbed the jungle primary impact and the slim but potential opportunity to get rid of Young Kim. Your post this week slapped me in the face, woke me up and with great sadness, I took down my lawn sign for Lisa today. Keep up the great work. TY 🌊🙏

That is sad, because this district is not primarily comprised of affluent OC cities anymore. Lisa is getting endorsements from the eastern part of the district. I hope you vote your conscience in the end.

The stakes have never been higher and it is now more than ever that we have a real opportunity to put the best candidate on the ballot. What I think so many are missing is that the money will come for Lisa. When she wins in June and we have already unseated one incumbent, the blue wave will rally behind Lisa and it will be an unstoppable force. Don’t give up. Be a part of this movement.

THANK YOU JEFF! I really appreciate what you are doing and I really appreciate the absolute GREAT writing you do. You are truly a fantastic writer. Spot on and very entertaining. It's too bad that when the country is melting down and going to sh#t that people have to throw in their 2 cents of bullshit "heat", "anger", "insults" and "you’ve really disappointed me …” crap. Keep up your great work! You are very appreciated.

People are allowed to be disappointed. It's not an insult. It is also the honesty that Jeff says he values. I am disappointed in Jeff for voting for someone he doesn't even like who he can so clearly see has contempt for voters. But that's his choice and he's made it

From the commentsI read below, I hope they make up for the turkeys. I find what you wrote yesterday to be incredibly true and fair minded. Shoot, I don't even reside in the OC, but appreciate when you include commentary that ventures beyond those borders. I've even shared some of it on my FB page. Keep up the good work, and you know the turkeys are usually way outnumbered by the rest of us.

You are a breath of fresh air Jeff. I look forward to reading Truth OC to hear your perspective.

Thanks for doing this!

Don't get pulled away from.the fray. Keep on dogging them. You're a star in our eyes. Keep on keepin' on.

Don’t let the turkeys get you down! Please keep going… :-)

Thanks for your insight because no publication is investigating or covering OC politics. I appreciate you!

I definitely appreciate your efforts, even when I know you're wrong. Especially when I know you're wrong! Your voice is an important and powerful one.

What Sam said. Even when I completely disagree with you (not all that often) I’m grateful to you for doing what you do.

Meanwhile, Lisa is getting endorsements in the eastern part of the district. Remember that this district is not primarily comprised of affluent OC cities anymore.

This is just one guy's opinion and he's entitled to it, but I am not sure he understands the overall demographics of the district.

Vote Lisa Ramirez.

You rock, Jeff! Keep on bringing the truth, now matter how uncomfortable for some folks.

Keep doing what you're doing, Jeff! You call it as you see it. You can't please everyone every time.
