The last week has been filled with news about President Obama’s invitation to address the graduating class at the Catholic operated Notre Dame University. Properly a focus is on the Catholic Church’s teaching about the destruction of innocent human life and President Obama’s dedication to advancing that destruction.

In 1981, President Reagan addressed graduates of Notre Dame. it was the first time he spoke outside of Washington D.C. after the assassination attempt on Reagan’slife.

One great truth spoken was, "For too long government has been fixing things that aren’t broken and inventing miracle cures for unknown diseases".

I doubt that President Obama will utter anything so true during his speech. The last 7-8 paragraphs are an indictment of the ideologies of those currently in power and a call for freedom.I urgeyou to read the speech or view it.… Read More

Do you know where the Yucca Valley is? If you don’t, that’s okay. It’s in a relatively obscure part of inland Southern California. It’s sparsely populated compared to the big metropolitan areas of the Golden State. If you are in the Yucca Valley, it’s a big deal that WalMart is coming to town. It means… More consumer choices for products, lower prices for consumer goods, and, of course, jobs! In our current recession, there’s been a big slow down in new construction and the opening of new retail stores. So, a WalMart for Yucca Valley… It’s all good, right?

WRONG. In today’s Los Angeles Times, there is a story about how the construction of this new superstore in the Yucca Valley has been halted by a judge! Why? Because apparently WalMart has not, according to the Judge, taken the proper steps to ensure that their new facility offsets enough carbon emissions.

How could this be? This is yet another iteration of the actual REAL and NEGATIVE economic impacts of the global warming alarmism… Read More

A New Beginning For Republicans in Los Angeles County By Nicole Ingram

Today I write to the FlashReport community as a proud Young Republican from Los Angeles. Last night in the county in America with the most Republicans, we elected a new Republican Party executive board. Over the past six months there has been a lot of worry, a lot of confusion, and a lot of division about the direction of what we the party should be doing next. Glen Forsch, who had been elected Chairman earlier this year, honorably stepped down as did his executive board, and I want to thank them for their courage and poise. It is not always easy facing a crowd of people who disagree with your politics and they can not be commended enough.

Being a native Angeleno and life long republican, it means the world to me that we elected a board that represents all Republicans throughout the county. Our board represents the diversity of… Read More

At the California Republican Assembly convention two weeks ago actor and comedian Paul Rodriguez delivered a remarkable speech during the Saturday evening dinner. Rodriguez’s family farm has been hit hard by the judicial ruling that shut off water to the Central Valley because of the Sacramento delta smelt. My Townhall article this week is about Rodriguez and the government-inflicted water shortages hurting California farmers.

The state GOP needs to take note of the anger many Latino Democrats are feeling right now because their party won’t do anything to stop the insane government policies. Instead of merely talking about Hispanic outreach, the CA GOP should be in the Central Valley explaining to voters how Republicans believe in the principles of a limited government that won’t place the interests of a fish above the wellbeing of citizens. If you have the chance, I recommend listening to Rodriguez’s entire speech to the CRA, available on iTunes. It’s inspiring and offers the GOP a clear message on how to appeal to… Read More

Many FlashReport readers may not be aware of the fact that there is a special election taking place in Los Angeles County RIGHT NOW. President Obama tapped a local Democrat to serve in his Cabinet, opening up a seat in East Los Angeles County. Longtime FR friend and California Republican Party Regional Vice Chairman for that area, Doug Boyd, pens this introduction to the situation, and his words are followed with some commentary from the Republican Party’s endorsed candidate for the seat, Teresa Hernandez… AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE An introduction by Doug Boyd … Read More

CA Special Election Fact of the Day: It’s the Spending Stupid Washington D.C. – Gov. Schwarzenegger and the rest of the spending interests that got California into its fiscal crisis want Golden State voters to extend the tax hikes passed in February for another 2 years, resulting in another $16 billion in new taxes. Points of fact: California has the highest income and sales tax rates in the nation and nearly the highest state and local tax burden. … Read More
