Was Chad Mayes Blackmailed To Vote for Cap and Trade?
Five days ago, Republican Assembly Leader Chad Mayes was against a Cap and Trade extension. He ultimately voted FOR it and whipped enough Republican votes to give vulnerable Democrats cover.

How do you “punish” Republican elected officials who vote for new taxes? Remove them from leadership.

But in …
Assemblyman Rocky Chávez Breaks His Promise To Taxpayers
California’s Cap and Trade extension passed today with Republican support: “The extension was part of a three-bill package, which passed.

The Second Amendment Doesn’t Apply To African-Americans…
#BlackGunOwnersMatter Second Amendment activists love to point out the racist origins of gun control, but do we practice what we preach? 1- A law-abiding citizen was pulled over in a routine traffic stop; his tail light was out.

Can Republicans Break Up The Democratic Coalition ?
While it was fun to #LaughMyOssoff last night about the Democrats’ expensive (and failed) attempt to #Flipthe6th , here is a message for Republicans–this loss just hardened #TheResistance activists. I believe that #TheResistance message is wrong–it offends Americans and tries to balkanize the American electorate. #TheResistance would do well to look within the Democratic Party rather than to blame voters …
Why “Pro-Business” Organizations Aren’t “Pro-Liberty” But Can Be Useful
Let’s start here: 1- Pro-business does not equal pro-market. 2- Pro-business does not equal pro-individual rights 3- Pro-business does not necessarily support the American sovereignty. 4- Pro-business does not necessarily support the free enterprise system “Pro-business” organizations usually support the status quo.

The former Republican Governor of California is not an abolitionist. …
Duncan D. Hunter For The 50th Congressional District
Let me start with this; I hope Duncan Hunter is exonerated of all suspicions and continues to serve in Congress. The Democrats are betting that won’t happen and they aren’t planning to run a centrist. The Democrats are drawing a bold, bright line and running an Obama Administration official for the 50th Congressional District should Hunter resign. Their candidate is a symbol …
The Republican Party’s Shift to Marxism
Republicans, we have a problem. For over 50 years, the conservative movement has defined and branded our party. Our return to total Republican control of the federal government was fueled by the “Property, Propriety and Prosperity” movement which we called “the tea party.” Today, our hopes to reverse the march to Marxism are sacrificed upon the altar of “good enough.” I’m referring …
The “Trump Is Russian Puppet Meme” is a Lie, Republicans Should Point This Out
I’m no apologist for President Trump but let’s get this straight– Trump has never been in bed with Russia. If anything, this meme is a classic Alinsky-ite tactic by Barack Obama.
