You can’t "see" this message online, but here is a graphic of today’s San Francisco Chronicle editorial on the whole flap of the Governor spelling out "f*** you* on the left margin of a veto message to Assemblyman Tom Ammiano.

The headline of the editorial, Message On The Margin should be taken literally…

For those who need help, the letters are… G R O W U P G I R… Read More

And why wouldn’t they? They must assume that 30 million Californians are walking around stoned or else they would notice how the state has been completely hijacked by labor bosses more interested in political power than the fiscal health of our state or the future of our children.

And how about the MSM? Completely checked out. Otherwise, how could they have missed this? Now I spent the last 8 years in Washington and have seen some pretty extraordinary abuses of power, but c’mon, the MSM completely ignores such an outrageous threat to elected officials? In the State Capitol! Can you imagine if the president of the Chamber of Commerce did this? The MSM would have been high alert (no pun intended).

The State of California is facing crippling budget challenges. We barely escaped the last budget process and the next one only promises to be worse. Yet, everyone seems to be oblivious to the necessary changes to rescue the next generations of Californians. The list starts with pension reform.

The idea that government employees are guaranteed 100% of their pension benefits, some of… Read More

I am pleased to announce that over the next week or so we will be introducing a group of new contributors to the FlashReport Weblog as we maintain a commitment to bringing you insightful, timely, cutting-edge analysis opinion from some of the Golden State’s best politicos from the center-right all of the way to the hard right.

As we “roll out” some of our new talented writers, I will ask for patience from our readers. About the time that I am posting up this announcement is the first time that these three contributors are getting their registration packets with the details on how to blog on FlashReport.

So in this “first wave” announcement, I am pleased to share with you that Ken Minesinger, Cassandra Pye and Jason Roe will be joining our ranks. Actually, in the case of Jason, it’s more like “welcome back” as Jason was our first Washington, D.C., Beltway Correspondent when the site first launched back in 2005. I should also add that Cassandra is finishing up a well-deserved vacation so you may have to wait until next week before she starts to contribute to the blog. … Read More

Last April 15th thousands of Californians descended upon Sacramento for a tea party protest of out-of-control government. On the same day, hundreds of thousands of other Americans met for similar protests in cities all across the nation. Political commentators wondered whether these massive nationwide protests were merely a passing fad or whether they were the beginnings of a legitimate movement. Seven months later, the tea party movement is still gaining momentum, which bodes well for conservatives in 2010. Last Sunday the Tea Party Express launched the second phase of its national bus tour with a rally in San Diego. Sponsored by the Our Country Deserves Better PAC, the tour will visit over 30 cities on its way to Washington, DC. The San Diego launch was very well attended and the crowd was bursting with energy. With the USS Midway providing a patriotic background, tea party participants were rallied by Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, … Read More

Chairman Michael Steele announced minutes ago that the RNC has poured $13.2 million in both odd-year Gubernatorial elections. It’s a huge bet.

Chris Christie – Good Guy

Six years after the San Diego area Cedar Fire, still the most devastating wildfire in California history, Jimmy Valentine (former Roger Hedgecock radio producer) takes a look back at the loss of his home and the faith that helped him through….

SIX YEARS ON!!! Gosh six years flies by. That many years ago today (10-27-03) I was producing Roger’s sub show for Rush and then our local show. A Monday. About mid-way thru the Rush show my wife called and told me our home had been destroyed in the Wildfire Debacle of 2003. We had evacuated the night before to the St. … Read More

As Flashreport publisher Jon Fleischman published his announcement of new contributors to the website today, I got to looking at the list of bloggers and saw Assemblyman Anthony Adams listed. His last post, which you can read here, was published almost a year ago, in January, right about the time I was receiving assurances from then GOP Assembly Leader Mike Villines that there would be no new taxes in the 2009 budget deal.

Reading his post now is an exercise in hilarity, as he waxes eloquently against higher taxes without budget reform. As we all know now, there is now budget reform, we’ve got the higher taxes, the State is still in a fiscal meltdown, and the tax increase didn’t produce the desired outcome – it just hurt the economy even more.

I wonder if Anthony has retired from service to the Flashreport. I think its a safe bet that he’ll be recalled from his seat in the upcoming elections. Republicans are in a foul mood toward their own right now. Tax collectors for the welfare State with an R… Read More

The first was a piece paid for by the Ackerman for Assembly campaign:
