Councilwoman Marti Emerald was shocked at the results of District 6 a week ago. The day of the election she was smilingly predicting a Wayne win, if not walk over. What would a Wayne win have meant? With just two seats in GOP hands and another resounding labor victory, it would have meant a disheartened small business community that would …
Mexican President “It’s a war”- Americans warned
Nearly 30,000 people have been brutally murdered since Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared war on the drug cartels in 2007. This number is greater than the loss of military life in both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. So far President Calderon has deployed more than 45,000 troops and 5,000 federal police officers to Mexico’s 18 states where the drug cartels …
New numbers … Lorie Zapf, Bill Horn, Ron Roberts, Ernie Dronenburg all pulling away! ….. Gallo 8916, Holt Pfeiler 8883 in Escondido…Steve Cooley doubles his statewide lead for Attorney General
New results issued minutes ago show the Conservative and Libertarian sweep gaining new momentum in the “Big 5” San Diego races.

Family dinners secure America’s future
“Hope and change” failed to launch America in the right direction. Time to affirm real lasting change–one dinner conversation at a time. Read my debut piece at The Washington Times entitled “Family dinners secure America’s future.”
TONIGHT: Post-Election Analysis with Consultant Hoy, Pollster Nienstedt
I’m not exactly the most devoted GOP meeting attendee. But I’ll be there tonight to hear the recap of the wildly dead-on pollster John Nienstedt and Nov. 2 success-story consultant John Hoy. I had the honor of working with both men on Proposition A – which crossed the finish line easily with more than 70 percent of the vote. Conversely …
Illegal immigration and the new terrorism threat collide
Late last week Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) demanded the Department of Homeland Security cough up the immigration and naturalization records of Washington D.C. Metrorail suspected terrorist bomber Farooque Ahmed. In an effort to determine the best method to protect Americans from illegal aliens who have nefarious intentions toward U.S. citizens, Grassley sought the immigration process used by Ahmed from the …
Time to Tackle ‘Green Energy’ Mythology
The incoming GOP-led House of Representatives has an ideal target to show it’s concerned about the economy: cutting back the Obama administration’s massive and unprofitable taxpayer subsidies of “green energy.” The Solyndra debacle is an excellent case in point. This company makes solar panels, and last year received $535 million in taxpayer loans.for a factory expansion that was much-praised by …
Pull Those Political Weeds
I’ll say it right up front. I dislike political signs. I consider them litter. When I see them sprouting up like so many weeds in my neighborhood in the weeks before an election is held, I cringe. If I could restrict them to being in people’s yards or the windows of homes or businesses, I’d be a happy camper. Someday, …
Great Election News from Oceanside!
Despite the statewide election disappointments (Brown AND Boxer?) there was some really good news in San Diego County. The Zapf, Roberts and Horn victories have been covered, but others have gotten less notice, particularly with the temporary derailment of Rostra. Those of you who don’t follow North County races might have missed the reelection of Oceanside City Councilman Jerry Kern. …
Masters of America’s Destiny? You Betcha
If you thought conservatives did not have swagger, then you were mistaken. Youth representation in the Conservative Movement is clearly needed more than ever. We are lucky enough to embrace small bastions here on the Left Coast and in other blue states. Nevertheless, there is hope–and it lies in the Northeast with this instance. If you have not heard about …
Allow Me To Supply An Answer
Well, it didn’t take the main stream media long, did it? In the wake of Tuesday night’s historic victory, our new Speaker of the House John Boehner is being asked what Republicans will do to create jobs since they didn’t care for the ideas coming from Obama and his fiscally brilliant staff of golden goose growers. My Republican friends, lest …
SDUT: Dewey Defeats Truman
I’m wrestling with a problem. I like the Union-Tribune, I really do, I just wish it wasn’t completely worthless. Maybe (hopefully) it is just the “reorganization” that is tanking the quality of the reporting and it will recover, but thus far it’s proved this election cycle that the paper is approaching utter pointlessness. The UT was severely out investigated by …
San Diego helps Steve Cooley (GOP) take statewide lead for California Attorney General from Kamala Harris (D)
New election updates posted yesterday by San Diego and Orange Counties have put Republican Steve Cooley (3,502,021) ahead of Democrat Kamala Harris (3,485,926) in the close race to be the next State Attorney General. Cooley would be the only statewide Republican winner if he hangs on, and the early favorite for Governor in 2014. Harris also might be gubernatorial material if …

Here are a few of SD Rostra’s significant findings: (1) Lorie Zapf grew her lead over Howard Wayne from 1,570 votes on Wednesday to 1,672 today. …
The Top Ten Reasons why the Revolution Bypassed California
Many pundits are trying to explain what happened in California. After all, Republicans lost every state-wide race, picked up one Congressional seat and actually lost a seat in the State Assembly. Moreover, California voters elected dozens of hard left wackos and removed the 2/3 vote in the Legislature that had protected us from out of control budgets. Unfortunately, California will …

Employers who hired illegals fined, may get jail time
A Southern California man who owns and operates a furniture manufacturing plant was arrested and charged with hiring illegal aliens this week. The Orange County man, Rick Vartanian, who is the primary shareholder in the Rancho Cucamonga Brownwood Furniture company is accused and charged with criminal information with obstruction of justice and a misdemeanor count of continuing to employ unauthorized …
SWEEP… Conservatives take all the “BIG 5″ races in San Diego’s November 2010 Election Showdown
San Diego’s Right Alliance, a conservative-libertarian coalition, can NOW claim victories in the five most hotly-contested local election battles which came to an end Tuesday. What a difference two years make! In 2008 it was our turn to mourn close losses for SD City Council, the State Assembly and other key posts. But 2010 is very different. Here are the …
Leaked Email Exposes Plot to Censor and Defund Koala
Taken from The California Review, October 27th, 2010: California Review Editorial Board We obtained an internal SAAC email that reveals a plot by Utsav Gupta, Josh Grossman, and Cody Marshall in which they attempt to prevent students from benefitting from legitimate media organizations by registering 89 (and possibly counting) other media organizations to challenge their funding. In addition, Utsav Gupta’s …
Tony Strickland for State Controller… His state senate Voting record reflects Integrity
Two years ago Tony Strickland won the toughest State Senate race in California. He prevailed over an undefeated human dynamo named Hannah Beth Jackson in the 19th district, based in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. Strickland won that race by 800 votes out of almost 420,000 cast! The race was not settled till the day before Thanksgiving. After that experience, …
