This is not a religious post but it seems apropos here. “As a dog returns to his vomit, so fools repeat their folly.” – Proverbs 26:11 Almost on cue Darrell Issa told CBS Wednesday, “If the President calls and says will you serve your country, the answer always is … you will.” While I’m not surprised at the opportunism of the …
Congressman Hunter: I understand your concern about the timing of the indictment but that is secondary. The primary issue is 60 counts. Unbiased and evidential. First things first. A strategy to align yourself with the president and the military is to be commended for what it is, effective PR. But that is all it is. The two of you either …
“When I am elected to Congress, I am going to vote on issues the way my constituents tell me to vote …” – Michael Allman, Candidate for the 52nd Congressional District. Allman hopes to bring his success from the tech world to the 52nd Congressional District by implementing a political “operating system” dependent upon the will of the majority. Absent …
The painting is of Sir Thomas More’s daughter saying goodbye to her father. More was beheaded by King Henry after refusing to acknowledge the State as Supreme Head of the Church of England and refusing to approve the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. “And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned around on you–where …
As a Republican, I don’t particularly enjoy siding with Governor Brown on an issue let alone on one as emotionally charged as sanctuary cities. Not sure our reasoning was the same but to his credit he took Senator Kevin DeLeon’s SB54 and with encouragement from the California Police Chiefs Association multiplied DeLeon’s exclusions twelvefold, from 65 crimes to 800. My oath …
Two Republican Chula Vista City Council Members, Mike Diaz and John McCann, have opposed the San Diego County Republican Party and are advocating a sales tax increase. Let me get this straight. Despite nearly seven out of ten American firefighters being volunteer, and despite California firefighters being paid 60 percent more than the other 49 states (CA median income is …
In the photo above Sen. Rand Paul holds the 2,232 page budget busting bill that took two hours to print, but I think there’s hope for reform in Washington if we can get just one of our founding ideas right. The self-evident truth that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. This includes …
Anyone notice the basic Biblical, Constitutional and economical premises being compromised by Democrats and so called conservative Republicans with regard to the shooting in Florida? A basic premise is an absolute that tolerates no compromise with its antithesis. The homeowner doesn’t compromise with the burglar. To paraphrase Ayn Rand, for the homeowner to offer even one item of silverware would …
Report: Darrell Issa mulling a run for Duncan Hunter’s seat If this happens the joke is on East County. Congressman Duncan Hunter has a safe seat and while being a leader on vape and art reform, has not used his safe position to lead in critical areas. Hunter regularly votes for farm subsidies, food stamps, and subsidies to Ex/Im Bank, …
My White Supremacist neighbor and my Antifa neighbor were created in the image of God and as such are endowed with the inalienable right of free speech. However, if we wish to address their lack of civility we’re going to have an impossible battle attempting to do so through more law. “Thousands hacking at the branches to the one striking at the …
Questioning our local Republican officials for their public endorsement of the AHCA President Obama broke his word not to tax those with incomes under 250K. Republicans are creating a special class of citizens with Adjusted Gross Income under 150K. Both believe the state is the solution to healthcare scarcity. At least Obamacare allowed my family to opt out and address our …
On social media a friend has asked: “Is the City of San Francisco acting within the US Constitution when it refuses to turn over an illegal to the Feds? I’m not endorsing their actions… just pondering states rights.” I try to approach these difficult issues by asking two questions: 1. Is the law just? (“Everything Hitler did in Germany was …
When Congressmen Duncan Hunter and Darrell Issa voted to give the concrete industry the coercive power to tax as they did this week, only a few days removed from Trump’s mandate to bring reform, we accomplished three things despite our good intentions. 1. We violate free markets. We are protecting an oversized industry that Americans are valuing less, one that is unable to …
I am uninspired by my party. While we ponder uninspiring Presidential candidates and learn that 69% of millennials express a willingness to vote for a “socialist,” we find our local Republican Party has gone soft on the one institution that perhaps bears more of the responsibility than any of the others, government schools. Why did …
“Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile.” – Luke 14:34-35 Perhaps nowhere is our lack of saltiness in the Christian Right better displayed than in the support of local Christian and conservative leaders for Donald Trump. Fundamental …
Just law is fundamental to peace and prosperity. Most all of the problems we face are created or made worse by bad law. Civil asset forfeiture is one example. It violates rule of law, due process and the inherent and inalienable right to property. Civil asset forfeiture is a travesty to our judicial system and SB 443 was an attempt to begin …
House leaders rushed through HR5602 Monday evening under suspension of the rules, thus limiting debate and amendments from being considered. H.R. 5602 violates our Fourth Amendment-secured right against unreasonable searches and seizures. With limited exception, a search or seizure is unreasonable if it occurs without probable cause and a warrant. Yet, HR5602 contains a provision that expands the Department of …
If one desires to be a “tax and spend” Republican so be it, but own it. transparent adjective |trans-par-ent, able to be seen through, easy to notice or understand, honest and open: not secretive. On Friday the SANDAG board met to draft ballot language for their sales tax increase. The draft ballot argument reads as follows… SAN DIEGO COUNTY ROAD …
In the event you are wondering if I saw “it,” that answer is, yes. The “it” being the Union-Tribune article describing my Congressman’s multiple violations of campaign finance law. I don’t get it. Hunter is in a safe seat. He was elected by a 40-point margin. He can afford to courageously raise the conservative flag high and inspire by taking …
My friend and former State Assemblyman, Steve Baldwin, has written an article in Western Journalism titled The REAL Enemy of Freedom is Hiding in the Last Place You’d Expect to Find It. A critique of libertarianism. I have great respect for Steve and think the two of us agree on far more than we disagree, but this caught me by …
