Walid Shoebat, Zak Anani and Kamal Saleem are Arabs. Each was an active Terrorist.

All three will tell their stories at UCI this coming Wednesday night, May 30th, at 7:30 in Bren Event Center.

The 3 former terrorists have attracted standing room audiences all over the country. Stanford University, announced it would not permit off campus supporters to attend their talk on campus. The usual academic tolerance at work.

The UCI College Republicans have made sure they secured a large auditorium. The security will be tight by the excellent on-campus police and the Irvine Police Department.

Walid Shoebat was born in Bethlehem, [ not many can say that], from a prominent Muslim family. He joined the PLO at an early age and was jailed often by the Israelis.

Zak Anani, is from a prominent Sunni family and also served in the PLO since he was 7 years old.

Kamal Saleem, born in Beirut from 2 generation of Imams,was active in the Muslim terror groups during the War in Beirut in the 1980’s.

All three are marked as " apostates ".

This is the real deal.

When I was running for state assembly, I had to fill out a questionnaire for the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce in order to receive their endorsement. One of the questions dealt with education; this was my answer:

Strong schools are essential to a vibrant community. In order to attract and retain the most productive citizens, our public schools must be top-notch. Pleasanton schools are known statewide and nationally as exemplary educational institutions, and that does not happen by accident. The partnerships between the schools, chamber, city government and the parent community are critical…and must be constantly nourished with vigilant work to keep all stakeholders in communication about what our schools need for the short term and the long term.

I would add this sentence to the Chamber’s Education Vision Statement: “Then, bring them home!”

It’s not just that I am a mother of three kids in Pleasanton schools who wants to see her kids come home from college and… Read More

This website couldn’t be more enthusiastic about any member of Congress from California than we are about Representative John Campbell (pictured to the right). No, not just because he writes for our website. We’re big Campbell fans because he has proven in his short time on Capitol Hill to be one of the top leaders in the House on matters of fiscal restraint and common sense. It isn’t just where he stands on the issues, but that he is an activist, willing to exert time and energy to promote the issues in which he believes — the most paramount of which, as a Congressman, is reducing the size and scope of the federal government. So it is no surprise that Congressman Campbell has been leading the charge to rally Congressmen to sign a letter to the President letting him know that they will vote to sustain his veto when he rejects overspending by House Democrats. In his latest… Read More

FR readers, I am pleased to report that according to a call I got from Congressman John Campbell’s office, Jerry Lewis signed the letter to President Bush pledging to uphold any vetoes on discretionary spending that are made by the President.

From talking to Campbell’s staff, it would appear that Lewis committed to signing around 45 minutes to an hour after we posted on the subject here at the FlashReport, and after Lewis was first singled out on Rob Bluey’s blog.

The Governor’s recent judicial appointments actually had a small gain in GOP numbers. Unfortunately, this hardly makes a dent after almost 4 years of Arnold appointing a ratio of 2 Democrats for every Republican. See previous posts with link to others.Clearly Post Partisan means Democrats win!

Here are the judges according to Capitol Morning Report Los Angeles County: Mitchell L. Beckloff, 45, Santa Monica, Democrat, commissioner, same court. Edmund Willcox Clarke Jr., 56, Manhattan Beach, Republican, partner Stark & Clarke (law firm). Graciela L. Freixes, 51, Valencia, Republican, commissioner, same court. David B. Gelfound, 43, Simi Valley, Republican, deputy district attorney, Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. John H. Ing, 53, Rancho Palos Verdes, decline-to-state, commissioner, same court. Kathryn A. Solorzano, 46, Los Angeles, Democrat, deputy district attorney, Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.… Read More

Greg Pettis is a city council member in Cathedral City (Riverside County, Palm Springs area) and he is running for the State Assembly in the 80th Assembly District. Greg is a nice guy, but classically liberal. He is in a battle with at least four other Democrats for the nomination and there there are two GOP candidates battling it out to eventually succeed Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia.

I am not sure of Pettis’ chances but I did get a fund raising letter from him recently.

His letter touches on the usual ‘I got money for parks’, ‘I got money for sewers’. But my favorite part is when he proclaims having "…stood up to Wal-Mart’s unfair labor practices."

I understand why many Democrats hate Wal-Mart. They see economics as a zero-sum game where Wal-Mart gets richer and the rest of us get poorer. I am not saying that is Greg Pettis’ position, he is a businessman.

But no matter his motivation, I don’t think that the most likely donors to a campaign for State Assembly would respond well to any anti-Wal-Mart message.

Greg, for the… Read More

From the way that Tony Strickland’s campaign for California State Senate is gearing up, you would almost think that that he is listed as "incumbent" on the ballot. But, of course, he is not. The incumbent, Senator Tom McClintock, is retiring next year as term limits prevents him from seeking a third Senate term. Today the ENTIRE 15-member State Senate Republican Caucus endorsed former Assemblyman Strickland in his bid to succeed McClintock.

[You can see all of the signatures by clicking on the link at the bottom of this blog post.]

"All of our Senators are committed to helping Tony win his election to the State Senator next November," Senate Republican Dick Ackerman told me tonight. If that wasn’t enough, earlier tonight, the Ventura County Republican Party weighed in with a rare (and overwhelming) pre-primary endorsement for Strickland as… Read More
