San Diego Rostra brings back the spirit of public thought and debate that existed in Ancient Rome. The Rostra originates from the word Rostrum, a forum in ancient Rome where citizens would come to voice their thoughts, concerns, and critiques about society.
We have now completed part two of what I believe to be a three part Second Amendment saga in Virginia. Part two concluded with a very well attended and peaceful (much to the dismay of the left) pro-Second Amendment rally in Richmond. Part three will play out in 2020.

San Diego Congressman Scott Peters endorsed Mike Bloomberg for President this morning. It’s a crafty endorsement for Peters because Bloomberg is an “outsider” but hardly an “outlier”. Bloomberg was a successful disrputor in the Wall Street information business and built an admirable financial multi0media network. Most recently, Bloomberg served as the 108th Mayor of New York City from 2002-2014. Peters …
Noli Zosa knows what it’s like to be the underdog. Most everybody in town is celebrating the Aztecs undefeated basketball season (20-0 as of 1/24/2020), but yesterday, Noli and I watched a young, athletic Toreros team fall for the 14th time this season to Santa Clara University. Noli is an undergrad and law school alumnus of the University of San …

“I’m honored to earn the endorsement of National Right to Life. Unlike Carl DeMaio, I have always been committed to protecting the unborn and preserving the sanctity of life. I’ve voted to defund Planned Parenthood and I will never support federal funding for abortions.”
Assembywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher has been digging her heels in so much in recent weeks, she’s now forming trenches. That’s why it’s hysterical to see even her most strident left-wing fellow travelers not sharing her bunker in defense of AB 5. Read Daily Kos… Clumsy Democratic attempts to fix Uber/Lyft problem is deadly to freelancers We have nothing to add. …
Former House Oversight Chairman, and current candidate for the 50th Congressional District Darrell Issa, spoke with Mark Larson on KFMB yesterday. Key takeaways: 1- Issa understands the geopolitics of the Middle East and can be a great adviser to the President (from Congress). 2- Governor Newsom doesn’t want Issa in this seat through a special election because it brings an …

Last week we saw another church shooting, this one at the West Freeway Church of Christ in the city of White Settlement, Texas. This incident was ended just six seconds after it began by an armed citizen volunteer of the church security team. Media coverage was predictable. Church shootings are an unfortunate reality in our society. There have been at …

As is my custom for nearly 15 years… And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto …
While working an RSO shift at the range last week I had the opportunity to speak with two gentlemen on the subject of concealed carry. One man was very interested and had permits in numerous states but not California. His buddy felt like he had no need to carry and cited several mutual friends that felt the same way. Carrying …
Published in the San Diego Union Tribune, Dec 20, 2019 For over 25 years, I’ve had the distinct honor of working for both Duncan Hunters. I started with Duncan L. right out of college, an opportunity to work for my own Congressman on issues I cared about. What started as an internship, culminated into a career of service. When Duncan …
I think it’s safe to say that Poway activist Chris Cruse doesn’t care for Poway Mayor Steve Vaus. In 2009, when Vaus spearheaded the recall effort of Council Member Betty Rexford, Cruse suggested that he was leveraging his “Carols By Candlelight” website to promote his political campaign for Council: “The website stevevaus.com has a link to recallrexford.com. And Poway resident …
Clear thinking Americans understand that the vast majority of gun control laws in place are completely ineffective regarding their stated purpose. That stated purpose is always to increase public safety and reduce crime. Many of these laws actually endanger the public. Most are unconstitutional in that they clearly “infringe” on our rights. Among the most dangerous of these laws are …

In 2017 I wrote an article questioning the wisdom of depending on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to protect the Second Amendment (2A) and the rights of gun owners in America. Over time there seemed to be too many instances where SCOTUS declined to hear a 2A case or when they did, the ruling seemed too weak. …
