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. Students and parents last, …

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 …
Hunter Applauds President for Standing Firm on Commitment to Border Security
Washington, DC — Congressman Duncan Hunter (CA-50) today supported President Trump’s continuing position of requiring any spending bill passed by Congress to contain funds increasing our border security, particularly building the border wall. Federal spending is currently authorized through December 21, new legislation will need to be passed by Congress to avoid a federal government shutdown. “President Trump is doing …
Joe Walsh Could Have Been Talking About San Diego
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, …
A Vision for the Republican Party of San Diego County
This should be the vision. Times five. Everything else is all noise.
Travis Allen for California Republican Party Chairman
Today, former Assemblyman Travis Allen and 2018 gubernatorial candidate laid out the best path for the future of the California Republican Party. Two other candidates are running: Steve Frank and David Hadley. Hadley, a former Assemblyman, has fundraising prowess, and Steve Frank looks to be a formidable tactician with knowledge of the operations of the California Republican Party. But Allen brings an …
The final day — Thank you for taking the opportunity
Although I remember every one of my own elections, the one that stands out the most is the first – 28 years ago today (!) 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. We’re tired of politicians campaigning on fewer taxes and then voting to increase them. However, Measure SS is a local issue. Let this conservative tell you something about serving on the …
Richard Rider Is Right, The SDCTPA Doesn’t Protect Taxpayers
Richard Rider wrote an honest takedown of the San Diego County Taxpayers Assocation in The Voice of San Diego tonight. I will ask you to read it here. My favorite part was when Rider suggested that they rebrand themselves as the San Diego Downtown Big Businessmen’s Subsidy Assocation. My vote for their rebranding would be the San Diego Mercantilists Assocation Feel …

Not counting $13,000 in personal loans to the campaign, Gomez raised $24,285 since the primary election, while paying her husband, Don Gomez, $15,000 in the same period to …
No on Prop 6? Maybe, it’s time to let Californians suffer.
There is a legitimate argument for a NO vote on Prop 6. California voters should suffer for electing tax and spend statists to the Legislature. We will never #RestoreCalifornia by ballot proposition. We need to elect legislators who will: 1- never, ever, ever raise taxes, fees, or duties 2- define what the role of government is 3- submit budgets which fund the …
