I am a bit surprised to see Congressman Darrel Issa climb aboard the Trump train. While he likes to send out press releases that make him look like the second coming of Ronald Reagan, his Congressional voting record is simply not as conservative as he wants people to believe. Indeed, his most recent Conservative Review rating for 2015 is only …

I checked with some friends who are deeply involved with convention politics … the Rules Committee meets in April and can change any rule they want, including the rule that candidates must win a majority of delegates in eight states in order to be nominated at the convention. If the candidate does not hit that threshold, then none of delegates representing …

I will have some experts on government waste calling into my show this Thursday, including David Williams from Citizens  Against Government Waste.  Obama, of course, lied to the voters about how he will eliminate the corrupt “earmark” process.  I also will talk about the growing case for the impeachment of Obama, the Arizona illegal immigration bill, and the recent take-over …

What a joke the State of the Union speech was.  I have never heard a president utter so many cliches, phony policy ideas, and insults in what used to be considered, historically, a speech composed of substantial policy proposals. Obama retierated his promise to use the federal government to create jobs, a phony proposition if there ever was one.  As …

The UT misses the story regarding Al-Awlaki In the January 10 UT, Matthew T. Hall had a misinformed story about a former local imam named Al-Awlaki whose taped pro-jihadist rants apparently influenced both the Christmas Nigerian bomber and the Ft. Hood shooter.  The gist of the article is that Al-Awlaki used to be more moderate when he was based at …

All over America ACORN is being investigated for voter fraud and other illegal activities.  But not in San Diego.  Why is that?  ACORN has an office in National City and over the last few years has registered at least 25,000 voters inside San Diego County.  Based on investigations into ACORN’s voter fraud activities elsewhere, …

Since the UT seems intent to ignore national stories of serious import, I find myself having to mention stories that have been ignored or misreported. Enjoy — or cry. The lame-stream media is going gaga over simulated sexual acts by blatant homosexual and American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert.  Lambert simulated fellatio on a male dancer during prime time television on …

Ok, its official. The Obama Administration is either the most corrupt or most incompetent administration I have ever seen.  Below is a link listing 440 congressional districts that do NOT exist and for which Obama has claimed jobs were created! These phantom districts are responsible for over 28,000 alleged jobs at a cost of $224,525.22 per job, so even if they were …

I’m thrilled to be part of San Diego Rostra and am convinced this is the medium by which the vast majority of Americans will receive their news, if not already, then in the very near future.  The old line media are dinosaurs, especially newspapers.  And it’s not just because the news cycles of newspapers are 24 hours as opposed to …
