In case you need a reminder that the main stream Democrat establishment is intent on electing Phil Angelides to be Governor of Claifornia, here is your opportunity. A friend of mine (h/t to DS) is actually on the John Kerry e-mail list.

Come November, Phil Angelides can become a member of the John Kerry LOSERS club. LOL.… Read More

Liberal Democrat Tom Umberg (pictured to the right) is soon to be a retired member of the State Assembly, as his bid to move up to the State Senate was dealt a fatal blow when he did not capture his own Party’s nomination. That said, Tom Umberg is hoping that his legacy as a legislator will be defined by a piece of legislation that he has passed onto the Governor’s desk (with only one GOP vote) that would, if signed, cause California to participate in a scheme to end-run the United States Constitution, and the electoral college that is used to elect the President and Vice President of the United States. Right now, on a state by state basis, depending on who wins a state, each state (by and large in proportion to their population) sends Presidential electors to Washington, D.C. to cast votes on behalf of that state in the Electoral College. We see the physical manifestation of this when we are glued to the television or our computers where we see not only which states go red or… Read More

Insurance Commissioner Candidate Steve Poizner is up in the Central Valley with his new ad, "If you Cruz, You Lose". It is one of the best ads running out there right now. You can take a look at it here.

Cruz Bustamante is a nice person, but he has no business running for Insurance Commissioner. This is a race to watch, and I have not a doubt that Poizer will run a competitive race here.… Read More

I just got off the phone with Assemblywoman Mimi Walters, Honorary co-chair of the Protect Our Homes Initiative, after an email she sent out tonight asking for support in urging the California Republican Party to do the right thing.

I just got off the phone with Assemblywoman Mimi Walters, Honorary co-chair of the Protect Our Homes Initiative, after an email she sent out tonight asking for support in urging the California Republican Party to do the right thing.

Property rights are a fundamental ideal in this nation, a basic right which has historically set the United States apart from many other countries. Or so we thought until the Supreme Court’s Kelo decision.

That decision is perhaps another glaring example of just how confused we have become asa nation about basic rights and core freedoms. Even so, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the Republican Party would not be swayed by such confusion, and that the membership of the California Republican Party, in convention last month, would support Proposition 90, the Protect Our Homes Initiative. In so doing, the CRP resolution made it clear that printed literature the Party disseminates for the November election include the Yes on 90 position.

There was nothing in the resolution to indicate "only if the CRP gets money from the Yes… Read More

This reporter was on the beat today tracking down the reason nine Riverside City employees were served subpoenas by the Grand Jury on Monday.

Sources report the subpoenaswere civil, not criminal, andcenter on contract purchases of computers for city police cars. Seems the low bidder may not have been selected and there have been some accusations regarding alleged nefarious practices in the process.

There are no charges filed at this time. The grand jury will interview people, then, if they feel suffient evidence exists, they will refer tothe DA. This is not uncommon, but the sheer number of subpoena’s in this matter bears watching.… Read More

[H/T to Brandon for posting this ‘proof’ of the Governor making a public appearance today with none other than State Senator Chuck Poochigian, among others, at his side.

You can watch the video here off of the Gov’s hi-tech website. – Flash]… Read More
