Take this little test and give yourself a point for each positive answer: 1- have a family member who belongs to a private-sector labor union (add a point if you have an active, private-sector union membership card) 2- work (or worked) in a job where your muscles ached at the end of the day 3- played on a softball team …
The Women Were Marching In Their Pink Hats…
… while their husbands were meeting with and endorsing President Trump, guaranteeing his re-election in 2020. President Trump is not an ideologue as Ron Paul so aptly points out: One reason Trump sounds so inconsistent in his policy positions is that he does not have a governing philosophy. He is not philosophically opposed to a US military empire so sometimes he …
Ignore the “Women’s March” Movement! (and perish)
This Women’s March thing is the Left’s tea party movement moment. If they start going after sitting Democrats in the primaries, it’s going to take hold. By defining how they expect Democrats to govern, they will offer a clear difference between them and the Republican Party. The Democratic Party has been struggling with this since Barack Obama became the 44th …
GOP Congress Will Lose Its Majority If…
…it doesn’t repeal Obamacare and offer a balanced budget. Republicans in the House are worried that repealing Obamacare without a Republican-designed health care plan will lose some seats in the mid-term elections in 2018. Let me be clear; Republicans should be terrified of what will happen if they DON’T repeal Obamacare, with or without a replacement. House Republicans told us …
Reforming San Diego County Supervisors’ Compensation
Four of the five County Supervisors voted to increase their base pay (and pensions) this week. Defeated Democrat Dave Roberts voted against the proposal while the four Republicans voted for it. Board Chairman Ron Roberts (who will retire in two years) justified his proposal with this statement: “It has been nearly 20 years since we adjusted the formula for members …
The Fruit Of Freedom Is Harmony
A straight, middle aged white man (WM) from the suburbs walked into an urban gasoline station/convenience store. The point-of-sale card reader at the pump wasn’t working. He walked into the convenience store and explained the situation to a Millennial Hispanic Woman (MHW). She took his credit card and swiped it on a different card reader so he could purchase gas. …
The San Diego Republican African-American Caucus
Elliot Schroeder calls for some analysis of the national election results with an eye towards what might work locally: “Trump never had a chance in California so it’s makes sense not to cater to it. But for us Republicans behind the blue curtain we have less to stand on. Socially our policies never gave us a majority. Now that the GOP …
Where Have All the Tea Partiers Gone? Long Time Passing
Donald Trump might win the election. I think he is the least of four evils but make no mistake about it, Trump is no tea party candidate. The cornerstone of the tea party movement was opposition to the bank bailout and Obama stimulus. After all, the TEA stood for “taxed enough already” and tea party activists (correctly) said that the …
Tony Kranz: Poor Judgement, No Respect, Combative, and Temperamental
I can’t quite tell. Incumbent Encinitas City Council candidate Tony Kranz is giving the finger, but… Is it to… 1- The taxpayers when he paid three times appraised value for the Pacific View Elementary School (he really wanted a taxpayer-funded arts center overlooking the ocean)? 2- Small businesses when he threatened them with a boycott if they displayed signs of …
Trump Gets The Nod from OneManCan.org Comprehensive Conservative Voter Guide
We had no idea the Comprehensive Conservative Voter Guide would have over 14,000 downloads this election cycle. One Man Can‘s founder, Joseph Spencer, approached me and asked for assistance with a voter guide for the users on the site. He wanted to vet candidates, debate propositions, and offer guidance to the folks who signed up and “evangelize” the political message in …
Dave Roberts: Bad For San Diego Women
Q: Who does Dave Roberts sound like, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton? A: Both Diane Porter: “Roberts coached her to go back to HR to withdraw her complaints, and to change her story completely,” Christoper Morris, Porter’s attorney, told NBC 7 Investigates. “When she refused, that’s when he got really ugly with her and mean-spirited.” Glynnis Vaughn: Vaughan said Roberts …
This Presidential Election Doesn’t Really Matter
In about three weeks, the country is going to vote for a President. When the election is over, 27% of the country will be “spiking the ball,” 25% of the country is going to be depressed, and the rest country will be thinking “WTF just happened in 2016?” No matter who wins, here is what you need to know: (1) …
Comprehensive Conservative Voter Guide for San Diego County
One Man Can, the web-based precinct management system for conservatives, offers its voter guide for recommended candidates and the statewide, county, and local ballot propositions today. One Man Can Founder Joseph Spencer and Brian Brady collaborated on the recommendations. We made a few judgement calls and endorsed a few Democrats in the races. That may upset some local Republicans but …
The System is Rigged Against Republicans
The system is rigged against Republicans, but you already know that. Let’s start here: Hillary Clinton will be the next POTUS. Republicans will probably lose the Senate. It’s not fair, it’s not right, and it’s going to hurt the Republic. A vote for Donald Trump now is a resistance vote; I get it. He was an unconventional candidate in unconventional …
How The Big Apple Wormed Its Way Into The White House
The following December 14, 2015, piece by Brian Brady is being reposted, because it’s even more important now than it was then. A work of fiction by Brian Brady “To you, Sugah. The next President of the United States.” The former President was always lavish when praising his wife. They were both lawyers but completely different. He loved to be in front of …
Dave Roberts Supports Measure A But Don’t Quote Him On That
Don’t kid yourself; Supervisor Dave Roberts supports Measure A, the SANDAG county-wide sales tax increase. He says it’s “good” but won’t take a position because “it’s controversial.” This is politician speak for “I don’t want to be held accountable for what I really say” and it’s Clinton-esque. His challenger, Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar says that this is exactly why she …
Shady Dave Roberts and the Solana Beach Three Benefit From Illegal Electioneering with Dark Money Group
Solana Beach Mayor David Zito, former Council Member Dave Roberts, and candidates Jewel Edson and Judy Hegenauer received campaigning support from The San Diego District Energy Foundation. From an email sent yesterday: With the election, Community Energy in San Diego could stumble badly. In Solana Beach there are three candidates standing for Community Energy: Judy Hegenauer, Jewel Edson, and current …
We Caught Vista Councilman Cody Campbell Lying…AGAIN
Good grief, we caught Vista Councilman Cody Campbell lying again in the first Vista City Council candidate debate. You may recall how we busted him for saying he opposed the SANDAG Highway Robbery Tax (Measure A) after he voted to support it. In that same forum, he said (at 53:15 in the video) that he opposed red light cameras but …
Vista’s Cody Campbell Caught Lying About the SANDAG Highway Robbery Tax
Do you remember how maniacal I was about getting elected officials to vote up or down on the SANDAG “Highway Robbery” Tax? I know I was unpopular with the political class in the Spring but the strategy was sound. Let’s start here: The U-T’s Teri Figueroa reported on the first Vista Council Candidate Debate where incumbent Councilman Cody Campbell joined …
Lisa Shaffer: Cowards, Straw Men Fallacies, and Democratic Party Politics As Usual
WC Varones at Encinitas Undercover posted a snippet from Councilmember Lisa Shaffer’s newsletter: “I also believe that refusing to participate in a debate organized by the League of Women Voters, even after being given a variety of dates to choose from, is cowardly and disrespectful of voters.” In the comments thread on the Encinitas Undercover post, one of the participants …
