NO 11144 63.17% YES 6498 36.83% The question is “shall Jerome Kern be Recalled?” And the early results show an answer of “NO”. These results are mostly absentee results, but it would be staggering for the margin of nearly 2 – 1 to be overcome with precinct results.

For nearly 30 years, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas has waged war against the Federal Reserve. It seems that Congress and public opinion has finally caught up to him, and there’s hope for passing legislation that would audit the Fed. Read more about it here. Why should you care? Because the Fed is spending YOUR money to bailout industry after …
Where are Media on Depth of Blackstone’s Campaign Against Merriam Housing Development?
Orange County Blogger Chris Emami (Red County OC) posted a story on this subject a couple of months ago. In full disclosure, I will be using some of his background and parts of his story here. But my take is slightly different. Our San Diego media can be an interesting bunch. Especially when it comes to what they choose to …
Who Would Have Thought One Comment About One Billboard Could Generate So Much Controversy?
My interview with The San Diego Union-Tribune, in which I commented on an atheist billboard, has taken on a life of it’s own. It has morphed into a controversy all over the Blogosphere around the country. One atheist blog alone had 500 comments and there were many other such blogs. Not all atheist responses were negative. For example, attached as …
The Liberal Manifesto: (As Seen Through the Eyes of a Conservative)
Actually, I consider myself to be a Liberal. That is, a true liberal in the historic sense of the idea and the generic usage of the word, one who marches to the beat of a different drum and does not always follow the pack, one who challenges the conventional wisdom most people have accepted without analyses, simply because it comes …

Term Limits Is A Republican Issue – We Should Support Them For County Supes
San Diego Rostra Guest Column by Jon Fleischman If some local public employee unions were to place on the ballot a decrease in the county sales tax, first and foremost I would be stunned. But then I would sign on board and work (apparently in a bipartisan fashion) to reduce the size of government, and increase liberty and freedom for …
WHO gave $250,000 for the SD Term Limits Petition? Now we know: TWO donors sent all $250,000 ! … Same Labor Union unit that gave $2.2 Million to ease California State Assembly term limits in 2008, now wants to Limit terms of the all-GOP S.D. Supervisors in 2010.
To paraphrase Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s famous words from World War II:…. “Never have so few, donated So Much, for So Little.” Public records kept by the San Diego Registrar of Voters disclose that “the Few” numbered just TWO total donors who gave “so much” ($250,000) to help finance a petition drive to limit terms of San Diego County Supervisors. …
GREAT NEWS… ahem
Watched some of the news this morning where the MSM newscaster was virtually apoplectic over the news that the unemployment rate had fallen. I listened closely: no actual numbers. Then I went to CNN. Same thing. Both networks were crowing that the Obama plan was working, of course. So what are the numbers? This month, with a plus or minus …
Hamas <3 Hezbollah
As a Jewish-American, I am deeply afflicted by any threats to the Jewish state of Israel and any threats to its existence. Any concerned American should also fear for any threat as well, seeing that Israel is one of our nation’s prime allies in this day and age. On December 3rd, 2009, California Review editor Alec Weisman commented on a …

Thuggish Behavior from Local Labor
Readers probably have figured out I’m no great fan of people or of organizations who use their power to beat others into submission, or humiliate others, or threaten others. That’s why I was disgusted by an email I got last night informing me that the local labor council had blackballed a local business owner, Bob Glaser. Glaser, upon further investigation, …
This Wednesday Evening
According to my source tonight there is a meeting going on right now in Tierrasanta, with over TWO DOZEN community leaders from around D7 to address the question “what to do about Marti Emerald’. Attendees were asked not to discuss the meeting or attendees for fear of retribution. I will honor that request, even though the individual who reported from …
Reaching Across Party Lines… The Right Way
Good job to the San Diego Lincoln Club for inviting San Diego City Councilman Tony Young to address the organization. Yes, it is true, Tony Young is a Democrat. Yes, it is true, Tony also votes with labor some of the time from what I can tell. But at the Lincoln Club Tony was very clear that he didn’t want …

FlashReport: Massive Budget Deficit Presents Opportunity
From Jon Fleischman at www.flashreport.org… There is a saying goes something like, “Adversity Breeds Opportunity.” This came to mind as I was reading stories in the SDUT, on the website of the Voice of San Diego, as well as a great column from FR friend Vince Vasquez on the up and coming SDRostra website — stories all about the massive …

Villains in America and The First Amendment
Many Americans have awoken from a deep slumber to realize that something fundamentally wrong is playing out in this great nation. Of course, the largest threat comes from this administration’s obvious attempts to transform our country into a socialist one by nationalizing banks and car companies, weakening the country’s security by investigating the C.I.A. unfairly, incriminating American servicemen and veterans, …
