Democrats will do anything to get and maintain power. After all, Lenin wasn’t too good a revolutionary. His specialty, once he took power,was tocreate a ruthless system for permanent power at any cost. Democrats hope to do the same in 2008. By any means necessary, get more senate and house seats.

Part of their strategy is to demonize California House Republican leaders. While Duke Cunningham certainly deserved demonization, as does Democrat "Refrigerator" Jefferson, our CaliforniaCongressional Republicans are endlessly attacked with rumors and conspiracy theories, spearheaded by the LA Times. But paintingthe bribery tar brush against Republicans is ringing hollow.

Jerry Lewis is repeatedly skewered by the LA Times, with breathy innuendos of vast sums of money circulating through his office. The only problem is a ferocious lack of facts. Unlike some Congressmen, Lewis has not grown wealthy in Congress. According to Lewis’ financial disclosure statement, most of his… Read More

Al Gore III was arrested early this morning in Orange County after being pulled over for driving 100 miles per hour according to Reuters.

The former vice president’s 24 year-old kid was driving a hybrid Toyota Prius. I have newfound respect for the Prius–the fact that it can 100 mph, I might consider driving one, as a rental, if I had to.

Also, young Gore had the making of a party, if your in to that sort of thing: marijuana, along with prescription drugs including Valium, Xanax, Vicodin and Adderall, said sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino. There were no prescriptions found, he said.

Good luck to young Gore, it can be rough growing up with money and privilege.

Well, he may as well have. In what can best be characterized as a stilletto jammed between the ribs of every Republican, conservative or moderate, who walked precincts, donated money, or worked for the re-election of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Capitol Weekly is reporting that the Governor, this afternoon, will appoint Mary Nichols to head up the important California Air Resources Board.

This is the same Mary Nichols who, according to CW, was Assistant Administrator of the EPA under President Bill Clinton and served as a senior official in the administrations of Governors Jerry Brown and, yes, the disgraced and recalled Gray Davis.

At the rate he is going, Schwarzenegger will have more former Gray Davis hacks in his administration than Davis himself had – if that’s possible.

It’s also an alarming statement about a Schwarzenegger administration that is tripping over itself to move way past center and embrace the left wing enviro-acti vist agenda…

The sad truth is that there is plenty of talent for all of these positions from the party of Ronald Reagan. People who will BALANCE environmental concerns with issues of… Read More

The Declaration of Independence: An Exceptional Document By Joe Sheffo Assistant Opinion Editor North County Times Exclusive for the Flashreport

Independence Day, the Fourth of July, is the most unique of national holidays, not only in our own country but perhaps in any nation on earth, because it celebrates not just an event —- the decision of the 13 American colonies to part ways with Great Britain —- but an idea: that all men are created equal.

Unfortunately, for too long multiculturalists, leftists, and the ill-informed have made light of, and even denigrated, this achievement. According to them, Jefferson was a rich, white man looking after rich, white interests. When Jefferson said “all men” he really meant all men like himself, and he meant only men. This is probably the historical interpretation taught in most of our schools and universities.

I most recently heard this attitude in a commentary delivered by National Public Radio Weekend Edition host John Ydstie. Ydstie was actually commenting on the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, the first English settlement in… Read More

Court Rejects State Pension Bonds Because Voters Were Ignored

Victors Call Ruling “a Fourth of July Gift to Californians”

Contact: Harold Johnson Attorney Pacific Legal Foundation (916) 419-7111 hej@pacificlegal.org www.pacificlegal.org

SACRAMENTO, July 3, 2007: A California appellate court today rejected the State’s bid to float $560 million in bonds for government pensions without approval of the State electorate. The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed a lower court’s ruling that the State’s proposed “pension obligation bonds” are illegal because they were not submitted to voters as the California Constitution (Article 16, Section 1) requires for state debt in excess of $300,000.

“This is a great Fourth of July gift to Californians,” said Pacific Legal Foundation Attorney Harold Johnson, who represented the Fullerton Association of… Read More
