Seriously? SD News Desk: San Diego Union-Tribune Reports ‘News’; Tries and Fails to Smear
The below is from, of course, San Diego News Desk, which is — quite obviously and no one ever suggested otherwise — a project of the Republican Party of San Diego County. But this is funny!

Why McCann’s decision is more anti-American than anti-gun
I have empathy for John McCann. His city council had the opportunity to vote on making a formal, yet non-binding, resolution to ask for pervasive gun control that would fundamentally change our American society, and in the end, he voted to do just that. I don’t know what he was trying to accomplish by being against the ban and asking …

McCann: Setting the Record Straight on Gun Resolution
Michael Schwartz wrote an opinion as the employee of the Gun Owners of San Diego on SD Rostra that is riddled with lies and personal attacks on myself.

McCann Plays Chicken with SD GOP
Chicken is a political/economical model of conflict for two players in game theory. It has its origin in a game in which two drivers head towards each other on a collision course. One must swerve or both may die, but if one driver swerves and the other does not, the one who swerved will be called “chicken,” meaning “coward.” Last …

New Movie “The Hunt” Should Win Tons of Awards And Fail At Box Office
Political rhetoric has always been biting but has escalated to vilification since Trump was elected. Traditionally a tool of left-wing commenters, an anonyous commenter, with inside knowledge about a Republican candidate’s Congressional campagn, referred to me and another Pro-Life volunteer as “fringe misfits”, on this blog. I, of course, embrace that moniker. I can laugh at myself and stereotypes of …
