Kimberly DvorakKimberly Dvorak Leave a Comment

While the number of teenagers looking for summertime employment has decreased over the past years, finding a job in the 2010 recession is nearly impossible. One reason for the summertime job blues points directly to the immigrants who have come to the country, both illegally and legally. Many are taking jobs traditionally obtained by teens in years past. The scarcity …

The oil spill/fiasco. My spin

Poway RogerPoway Roger 1 Comment

First of all, I don’t blame Bush for it. Obama has been in office for over a year, so it’s his fault. If you might recall, Obama’s administration had just recently given this platform a safety award. Second, the oil companies lease these drill rights from the US government. Now if I was a landowner who was going to lease/rent …

U.S. limits BP oil spill liability to $75 million. Madness!

Richard Rider, Chairman, San Diego Tax FightersRichard Rider, Chairman, San Diego Tax Fighters 1 Comment

The monumental British Petroleum Gulf of Mexico oil spill has been held aloft by Big Government advocates as a dramatic example of “the failure of the free market.” But is it? Short answer: Hell NO!

Good News! We Aren’t Really At War!

Bob SiegelBob Siegel 3 Comments

Well it finally happened. And I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. At long last, the Obama administration has come out and admitted in so many words that we are not really at war with radical Islam. This is no surprise to anyone who watched Obama’s magical, mystery, apology tour last year, in which he went out of his way to …

From the SF Chronicle: A group of conservative attorneys say they are on a mission from God to unseat four California judges in a rare challenge that is turning a traditionally snooze-button election into what both sides call a battle for the integrity of U.S. courts.

What I learned about Christine Rubin in the Gray Davis recall campaign of 2003

Jim SillsJim Sills 6 Comments

In 2003 Rep. Darrell Issa gave our state a chance for change by starting the “Rescue California” campaign. With great leadership by his aides Scott Taylor and Dale Neugebauer, the campaign gathered 75% of the signatures which forced the historic October 2003 recall election.
