The president and his Department of Justice have unleashed forces they do not understand and cannot control. It will not end well. Having just finished watching the BBC miniseries 37 Days about the month or so leading up to WWI, I am newly reminded of how miscalculations, ambition, and “good intentions” can lead to calamity of biblical proportions. Barbara Tuchman’s …
We are constantly being told that California is a place of endless possibilities where a person can choose his identity, his gender, and who he loves all while living off the state’s generous social welfare, even if he (or she or ?) is in the country illegally. Or as Gavin Newsom said in his second inaugural speech: “Whether your family …
The Chula Vista Woman’s Club has provided quality activities and support to charities in the Chula Vista community for over 110 years. The women have been extraordinary leaders in making Chula Vista a better place. The Chula Vista Woman’s club was founded on July 13, 1913 by a group of 26 women. By September 1913, the membership had increased to …
Supporting our Seniors in Chula Vista I was excited to open two new Pickleball courts and do a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Norman Park Senior Center, which is located at 270 F Street. This was part of a $2.4 million investment in the Senior Center. It included adding three Bocce Ball courts and two Pickleball Courts for our seniors …
I am pleased to announce that the City of Chula Vista opened Chula Vista Village at Otay, the first bridge shelter for the homeless in South County. The facility will be a transitional shelter that will provide a pathway out of homelessness for those living on the streets of our City. The new bridge shelter is located off of Main …
As Mayor, public safety and keeping our communities safe is my number one priority. I have always been a fierce advocate for Chula Vista’s First Responders and the employees that are a critical component in supporting our first responders in doing their job well. When you call 9-1-1 for Chula Vista Police, the first person you will talk to will …
I’ve just finished reading LA Times reporter Hayley Smith’s apocalyptic telling of the coming El Niño, “El Niño is likely returning, bringing danger for California and the world. ‘We need to be prepared’”, and I’ll just say this: I hope we’re all still around this time next year. You remember El Niño, right? Used to be the subject of small talk at …
It’s hard to know what to say about the (now moribund?) plan to pay reparations to Black Californians other than the obvious: California was not a slave state; Neither did California have de jure segregation; and, Even if it did, few if any people alive today would have had anything to do with either one. The first two are not …
Author’s Note: This piece was originally published on May 7, 2023. Although not impossible, it is highly unlikely that a Republican could win the presidency in 2024 absent an extraordinary circumstance. Among those would be a contested election decided by the House of Representatives. The candidate most likely to benefit from that development is Donald Trump. Republicans, especially the consultant …
Efforts to end homelessness in California are gearing up. Earlier in the month, hundreds of city officials rallied at the Capitol calling on the State to commit $3 billion a year to address the homelessness crisis. According to a release from the League of California cities, the money would be used to “provide additional supportive services, increase shelter …
In early 2021 I reported the details of an Antifa riot in Pacific Beach on January 9, 2021. Masked militants attacked at least 16 innocent victims. You’d think such an incident would receive universal condemnation from the media, politicians of both parties and even liberal political activists. But the media gave a watered-down characterization of Antifa’s violence and fabricated a …
I recently posted an article discussing the reasons SDCGO rejected John Hemmerling as a candidate for San Diego County Sheriff. You can read the many policy issues we have with Hemmerling HERE. Our vetting process led SDCGO to proudly endorse Undersheriff Kelly Martinez for San Diego County Sheriff. Here’s why. I met Kelly Martinez after she was promoted to Undersheriff, …
A champion of Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVROs), John Hemmerling, is running for the top law enforcement office in San Diego and he is doing it as a Republican. More often than not, Republicans are pro-Second Amendment and resist overreaching government policies that put gun owners at risk. But not always. Here are some common questions I have gotten recently …
Around the time Covid vaccines started rolling out under Emergency Use Authorization I saw an interview of Dr. Anthony Fauci. I think it was on MSNBC. He called Covid vaccines the “final solution.” The first thought that comes to mind when hearing the phrase “final solution” is the Holocaust. Why would Dr. Fauci use that phrase? Was it careless incompetence? …
Our San Diego County Board of Supervisors has now flipped Democrat, thanks to our voters. The board is led by “El Flippo” himself — Nathan Fletcher. Here’s how our progressives run things — throwing more and more of our money at a problem while ignoring the abysmal results. In this case, the Supervisors simply gave $37 million more to a …
Gavin Newsom’s lopsided victory was NOT the result of voter fraud. There was no NEED for voter fraud, though some doubtless occurred. Instead, the Democrats have stumbled across the LEGAL way to keep California voting Democrat — forever. It’s really simple: 1. Mail everyone a ballot. Previously one had to REQUEST a mail ballot. Automatic ballot mailings will become permanent …
“After unsuccessfully promoting Critical Race Theory for months before the Coronado School Board, CRT activists are now using the tortilla-throwing incident to stir controversy and justify CRT implementation.” Read it all here at The DeMaio Report.
Just-retired Chairman of the Republican Party of San Diego County Tony Krvaric sits down for this installment of the Edgy Interview. I’ve been after my friend and regular reader of The Edge for a couple years now and finally cajoled him into taking part. Tony mused to me about how cool it is to read about the “other side” of …
Organizers in the recall of California Governor Gavin Newsom, including the Republican Governors Association and the leader of the grassroots group that led signature gathering, said they will not get involved in candidate endorsements. Read it in Newsweek.
Inside a Recount: Secrets of the Registrar of Voters By: Justin Schlaefli I had the privilege of being an official observer in the recent recount for the Santee City Council, District 4 race. Upon certification on December 3, Dustin Trotter was determined to be the winner of the City Council contest with a five vote lead out of 7,835 total …
