Dear Reader,
At San José Spotlight, we are dedicated to keeping you updated about the people, policies and events shaping our city. Over the past few weeks, we have spotlighted San Jose’s newly elected mayor and councilmembers, who started in January and are actively shaping the city’s future with new initiatives and policies.
We examined their first six months in office and how they’re keeping campaign promises — and what’s next.
Mayor Matt Mahan: Fresh off a contentious debate over housing funds that ended in his first big political compromise, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan is still optimistic about achieving core campaign promises.
Vice Mayor Rosemary Kamei (District 1): She’s been called a connector, collaborator and bridge builder. In a city frequently divided by two political factions, San Jose Vice Mayor Rosemary Kamei finds common ground.
Councilmember Omar Torres (District 3): A drive-by shooting at an elementary school can change the course of students’ lives. For San Jose Councilmember Omar Torres, it sparked a dedication to community organizing.
Councilmember Arjun Batra (District 10): San Jose Councilmember Arjun Batra is new to politics and said he doesn’t think like a politician — but that’s what he feels is his best asset.
If you enjoy exclusive stories like these, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to San José Spotlight. Your support helps us provide high-quality journalism that goes beyond the headlines.
As we strive to bring you closer to your city’s inner workings, every donation, big or small, helps us maintain our independence and commitment to truth.
EDITOR’S NOTE: OBVIOUSLY TAMPERING WITH HISTORY! One of the most legendary figures of the Anglo-Saxon world was Lady Godiva. Unhappy with her husband’s decision to raise taxes on his subjects, she struck a deal with him: If she rode naked through Coventry, he’d lower the taxes. She made good on her promise, and the people of Mercia got the tax break they craved.
Where did the myth of the noblewoman’s naked ride come from? Historian Robert Lacey suggests that Lady Godiva may have appeared in the middle of Coventry “naked” – but naked as Anglo-Saxons would have understood it: without jewels or finery.

MARK BELL, TRAVELLING MAN!
CAME ACROSS MARK’S FACEBOOK PAGE AND HAD TO SHARE! MAKES ME WANT TO GET A MOTORCYCLE! Well, we finally accomplished our third bucket list. Standing in the Arctic Circle after driving up the Daulton Highway. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances we are now returning home and I won’t be able to attend the west coast conference in red deer. All is well.
Today we started off by visiting the sign, post forest, near our hotel in Watson Lake. We rode 460 miles to Pinkmountain and stayed at the Buffalo Inn. Which is completely full with firefighters, fighting the fire in British Columbia. As you can see by the pictures our room is a luxury suite. The only problem is there is no soap in the shower, but there are towels. There’s also no shampoo, no glasses to drink from. But the staff is friendly. Today was our last day in Canada and Gil’s first time to ever eat breakfast at Tim Hortons. We drove the back roads from Quesnel to Wenatchee WA. Tire is still holding pressure.

This e-mail applies to both young and older folks.
The young woman who submitted the tech support message below (about her relationship with her husband) presumably did it as a joke. Then she got a reply that was way too good to keep to herself. The tech support people’s love advice was hilarious.
The query….. Dear Tech Support, “Last year, I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs, such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0, and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and House Cleaning 2.6 crashes the system. Just to let you know, I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do? Signed: Desperate The response (that came weeks later out of the blue) Dear Desperate, First, remember that Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Please enter the command: I thought you loved me.html, and try to download Tears 6.2. Remember to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should automatically run Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5 applications. However, remember, overuse of the Tears application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. So that you know, Beer 6.1 is a terrible program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta version. Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-In-Law 1.0, as it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources. Also, please don’t try to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. Consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0. Good Luck

FBIDirector Christopher Wray is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, where he is expected to be grilled by House Republicans on various investigations the bureau is conducting and has conducted.
From Fox News – R&B singer cuts up National Anthem live on stage with anti-American lyrics: ‘Blood built this land’ “Oh say can you see by the blood in the streets / That this place doesn’t smile on you colored child / Whose blood built this land with sweat and their hands / But we’ll die in this place and your memory erased / Oh say, does this truth hold any weight / This is not the land of the free, but the home of the slaves!”

Eight reasons to believe a cover-up is underway on the cocaine found in the White House
The discovery of a stash of cocaine in the White House became public because a hazmat team was sent in on the possibility that the white powdery substance might have been anthrax or some other deadly terror weapon. Were it not for the hazmat team’s highly visible and noteworthy arrival, I believe it is quite possible that the matter would have been handled with the discretion for which the Secret Service is famous (and notorious), protecting the privacy of the first family.
Now that we know about it, there are multiple signs that a cover-up is underway to protect someone whom the Secret Service guards.
One: the “evolving” location in which the coke was found
But then on Tuesday, July 4th, when most Americans were likely not following the news, we heard that it was in a “work area” in the West Wing[.]
This audio recording of the Hazmat dispatch (I assume) clearly indicates that the library was supposed to be the destination for first responders: LISTEN HERE
JOHN WAYNE & A BUNCH OF OTHERS 4TH JULY -WHAT A TREASURE. I suspect some of the younger members may not even recognize all of these Americans asking God to bless their country on the 4th.

Running Out of Juice: Unsold Electric Cars Are Piling Up on Dealer Lots.
