Tuesday night the Democrat Congresswoman Rep. Diana DeGette introduced HR 2560 and had a vote on it today. The bill’s language wasn’t even on the congressional web site until AFTER the vote on it. The big secret was that this bill would have pretended to ban human cloning, while allowing large scale human cloning in laboratories as long as the human male and female clones were kept alive for experimentation and then killed.

In 2001 and 2003, Comprehensive Bans on human cloning like those in 23 other countries like Canada, France and Germany were passed but not acted on by the Senate. Despite the secret vote the measure failed 204-213. 31 Democrats voted with Republicans against the fake ban. Only 14 Republicans voted Yes. Count Californians Bilbray, Bono and Lewis with Pelosi and the human cloners. See vote count here.… Read More

GOP PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE Last night’s GOP Presidential debate in New Hampshire is still residing, unwatched, on my Tivo. So I will be leaving it to others to opine as to who won and who lost. That said, we here at the FlashReport continue our commitment to provide outstanding post-debate coverage for our readers. Once again, on the main page we featured columns on behalf of the front-runner candidates, penned by prominent Californians — Senate Republican Leader Dick Ackerman for Mitt Romney, State Senator Jeff Denham for John McCain, and Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle for Rudy Giuliani… Also, at the bottom of this Commentary are some video clips of these three candidates in action (provided by the campaigns)… MALDONADO’S "MISSING ANGELS" BILL HIJACKED On Monday the full Senate voted on SB 850, the "Missing Angels" act.

I’m pressed for time this morning.

So here are a few quick thoughts reflecting on some of the news today:

1) I wonder what the District Attorney up in Wine Country will do with the hot-potato thrown his or her way by the California Highway Patrol — their recommendation to file reckless driving charges stemming from her recent collision. There is a silver lining for Migden, however. San Francisco seems to like pro-criminal Democrats in office — so being charged with a crime may help her secure more support in her re-election, where she is facing the VERY pro-criminal Mark Leno.

2) Yesterday our Governor sent a letter to the President and Senate Leadership where he applauded their efforts on immigration reform, and then went on to register a complaint about some tertiary component of the plan. The opportunity missed in his letter, of course, was objecting to the granting of legal status (amnesty) to what is estimated to be over twelve MILLION criminal aliens. Talk about being so focused on the trees that you miss the forest… Sigh.

3) Yesterday Assembly Republican Leader Mike Villines, along with FR’s own Dan… Read More

FlashReport heard today from longtime FR friend, Orange County attorney and veteran presidential adviser, Ken Khachigian, confirming that he had signed aboard the Fred Thompson campaign as a national adviser.

Since I had a chance to ask a couple of question, I started with the obvious one, why Thompson?

I asked if his decision to back Thompson was a reflection on the other GOP candidates. Ken wouldn’t bite… … Read More

Since Fleischman linked to a story on the main FR page in this regard, that gives me the ok to blog about Paris.

What is everyone in a tizzy about? Twenty-three days of peace and quiet to catch up on my sleep and reading, and three regular meals a day? What I would give to have that luxury!… Read More

See Doug LaMalfa’s post immediately below. Here’s the Anderson release:

California Assembly Passes Historic Iran Divestment Bill Anderson’s legislation has strong bi-partisan support Anderson: “Money is the Mother’s Milk of Terrorism.” Sacramento, CA – Today, the California State Assembly overwhelmingly passed Assemblyman Joel Anderson’s (R-El Cajon) Assembly Bill 221 to divest California’s public retirement funds from key foreign businesses that invest in Iran.

“I am gratified by my colleagues’ strong bi-partisan support for this legislation, which will end California taxpayers’ investment in key foreign companies that invest in the Islamic Republic of Iran,” said Anderson.

Democrat Majority Whip Fiona Ma, a primary co-author of AB 221, said, “When CalPERS and CalSTRS invest State retirement funds in Iran, they put these investments at risk.”

“California’s taxpayers should not be investing in a country which funds terrorism,” said Anderson. “Money is the mother’s milk of terrorism.”

The California State Senate will be reviewing… Read More
