Washington, DC — As Congress continues to wait for Democratic leadership in the House and Senate to work with President Trump on ending the current federal government shutdown, Congressman Hunter is utilizing this time as an opportunity to highlight problems with “sanctuary policies” by introducing the “No Funding for Sanctuary Campuses Act.” This legislation will withhold federal funding to any …
Which Republican Should Run For the 50th Congressional District in 2020?
East County should have a new Congressman and it should be a Republican. Wait a minute! Didn’t I say “Duncan Hunter yesterday, today, and tomorrow” some 22 months ago? I did and I meant what I said back then. I saw the threat Ammar Campa-Najjar was and saw Hunter as the best defense against a Marxist interloper. But tomorrow is …
PTAs need to add unions to the abbreviation
Addressing its significant budget challenges in December, the Sweetwater Union High School District put in a letter, “We have dedicated considerable time and effort to finding solutions by working with as many of our stakeholders as possible including our labor partners, staff, parents and students.” We find the order of the listed stakeholders a bit odd.

The 2,000-year-old blog
As is my custom for more than a decade… 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, …
CAGOP Establishment Blames Trump for 2018 Midterms
A conservative Latino’s view on politics… The California Republican Party (CAGOP) has been losing this state exponentially since 2006. After the utter destruction in the 2018 midterms, publicly disgraced and scandal-ridden former Republican state vice-chair Kristin Olsen conveniently puts the blame on President Donald Trump. Ms. Olsen, a leader in the CAGOP, needs to look in the mirror. At the …
The Campaign Finance Accusations Against Trump Are Doomed to Fail
The presidency of Donald Trump has elicited frequent cries from civil libertarians, fearing his perceived authoritarian tendencies. It is therefore sadly ironic that many of those voices are silent—nay, applauding—in the face of what can only be described as a cynical ploy by interim U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman to politicize his office and promote the ouster of a legitimately elected …

Former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh, talking about the wipe out of Republicans in Illinois (on Facebook). Substitute “San Diego” for Illinois and it presents a pretty good strategy for what has to happen for Republicans to be relevant again in San Diego: On November 6, 2018, Illinois Republicans lost everything. We lost the Governor’s race, we lost every statewide office, …

Working to get out the vote right until the end, while not being able to get out of my mind the possibility the die had already been cast. At 8:01 p.m. the early results coming …
Deputy Sheriffs Association Skewers Dave Myers in La Mesa
Politcs can be addicting. Candidates can get caught up in the adulation of supporters when running for high-profile offices. I noticed this in Dave Myers’ campaign for Sheriff. Myers earned a lot of support from conservatives in this county (specifically, the San Diego County Gun Owners PAC). Many SDCGO members donated money, time, or reputation to his campaign to unseat …
How the Grinch… err SB1 (Gas Tax) Stole Christmas
A conservative Latino’s view on politics… The $800 average SB1 (gas tax) takes from California families is the equivalent of what we spend on Christmas and shows our politicians to be the Grinch who stole Christmas. A CHRISTMAS STORY My mother worked in factories her whole life. She worked hard and sent most of her paycheck back to Panama. My …
Measure SS – Conservatives should endorse
A conservative Latino’s view on politics… I’m speaking to my fellow Valley Center conservatives on Measure SS. Those touting the mantra “no more taxes” and yes, it has legitimacy.
