The Edgy Interview: Dan McAllister
Originally published on the Competitive Edge Research & Communication website Dan McAllister seems to have a nasty job. The Bible holds that tax collectors are vile and most people I know aren’t giddy with excitement at the thought of paying taxes “to the man.” But then there’s Dan, a gentleman with a sunny disposition who genuinely wants the process of …
Mayor Richard Bailey Stands Up To San Diego’s “Mr Potter” (SANDAG)
Coronado Mayor Richard Bailey penned an epic takedown of SANDAG in the Voice of San Diego today. Here’s the money quote: In San Diego County, public transit, such as buses and trolleys, receives over 50 percent of all local transportation funding, while highways receive just 13 percent. What makes this disparity even more astounding is the fact that only 3.5 …
Ocasio-Cortez: I plan to agitate, not legislate
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez will probably be elected as a Member of the US House of Representatives and most Americans are not taking her seriously. They laughingly say that she is dim-witted, has no understanding of what a House member does, and has no understanding of economics whatsoever. SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS DOING. LISTEN TO WHAT SHE SAYS. Ocasio-Cortez has no …
Women Can Get Rich In California!
Fabulous news, ladies! Governor Brown signed Toni Atkins’ bill which requires California-based, publicly-traded companies to have at least 33% women on their Boards of Directors. Think you don’t have the experience to serve on a Board of Directors? The education? Gravitas in the business world? None of that matters — the only relevant requirement is your gender. Here’s the best part …
Kavanaugh hearing reminds of the character assassination of Phil Graham — and bad behavior by his Republican opponents
I am watching and listening to the Judge Brett Kavanaugh “gang rape” hearing today. It seems to be a simple decision — you believe Kavanuagh’s denial or believe Professor Christine Blasey Ford’s Eleventh Hour uncorroborated accusation of attempted rape. Many of my conservative friends are annoyed with the way the Democrats have played politics with something that should have been …
On 9/11, Still the Shining Beacon on the Hill
The following was written by Vista City Councilmember Amanda Young Rigby a year ago. This year she shares it with SD Rostra. Guest Commentary by Amanda Young Rigby Yesterday, I joined first responders from around our county as well as from across the western region and even some international crews, to remember the first responders – firefighters and police officers …
Coast News: Phil Graham’s accuser faces criminal charges for filing false report
Not unlike false allegations undermined the Congressional campaign of Carl DeMaio a few years ago, fabricated charges — discovered late in the campaign — may have played a role in Phil Graham’s June primary loss for a North County Assembly seat. From The Coast News… “A North County woman who falsely accused former State Assembly candidate Phil Graham of groping …
San Diego County Gun Owners responds to shooting at Del Mar Fairgrounds
In response to the shooting at the Ice Cube concert at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the San Diego County Gun Owners PAC calls on the 22nd Agricultural Board to discontinue events that invite violence and, instead, support events that promote family, safety, and law-abiding San Diegans, such as the Crossroads of the West gun show. Where’s the moral outrage towards the Del …
SB 901: A Fair Compromise Protecting State and Ratepayers
by Lawrence Stirling As conflagrations continue to ravage our state, and after much debate in the capital, now is the final chance for lawmakers in Sacramento to approve Senate Bill 901 (SB 901) — a package of much-needed wildfire prevention and financing reforms. The bill is compromise legislation which includes some important safeguards for California’s ratepayers and our business community. …

Barry’s take on what’s truly great about American society and some of his highlights of US history.
Weakened Catholic Church Begs for Statist Responses
If you love and value individual Liberty, regardless of how ( or if) you worship God , the crisis in the Catholic Church will have a negative effect on you. Nick Gillespie of Reason lays out why the waning credibility of The Catholic Church will have dreadful consequences for libertarians: This is all of obvious concern to Catholics, but the …
Presumption of innocence just one reason to support Hunter for reelection
Guest Commentary by Lou Russo Last week in an interview with the Union-Tribune, I said that I was going to vote for Duncan Hunter — and everyone I know is still going to vote for him. While there has been equivocating on the part of many Republicans in the County, I choose to not do that. My reasons were very …
Anderson accuser arrested for assault and battery in 2016
From a FlashReport article by Katy Grimes… “…I received a file of legal documents showing the same Stephanie Roberson has a record of inciting violence in public. “Superior Court records show that in late 2016, Roberson attacked a woman in the Blackbird Bar and was arrested for assault and battery, and for causing significant damage to the bar. “According to …
Folly and the San Diego County Republican Party
This is not a religious post but it seems apropos here. “As a dog returns to his vomit, so fools repeat their folly.” – Proverbs 26:11 Almost on cue Darrell Issa told CBS Wednesday, “If the President calls and says will you serve your country, the answer always is … you will.” While I’m not surprised at the opportunism of the …
The Slippery Slope Of The Kate Steinle–Mollie Tibbets Immigration Argument
Kate Steinle was killed in 2015 in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant. Mollie Tibbetts, an Iowa student, went missing last month and found dead this week, allegedly at the hand of an illegal immigrant. Many conservatives are using these deaths as talking points for more robust immigration enforcement and/or stricter immigration laws. The talking point goes something like this: …
To Congressman Hunter — “Conduct unbecoming an officer”
Congressman Hunter: I understand your concern about the timing of the indictment but that is secondary. The primary issue is 60 counts. Unbiased and evidential. First things first. A strategy to align yourself with the president and the military is to be commended for what it is, effective PR. But that is all it is. The two of you either …
Hunter indictment a good reason to repeal Watergate-Era Campaign Finance Rules
Duncan Hunter was indicted. He allegedly spent money, which free people donated to him willingly, on things some unelected bureacrats said he couldn’t buy with those funds. My reaction (if he’s guilty) is similar to my response if he was busted for smoking cigarettes on the beach; an eyeroll followed by a yawn. If Hunter broke these arcane laws, he should probably …
The Hunter fallout: El Cajon Councilman Kalasho not happy with Supervisor Jacob
Dianne Jacob’s SDUT comments yesterday in reference to Congressman Duncan Hunter also included her tweeting remarks about State Senator Joel Anderson and El Cajon Councilman Ben Kalasho. She tweeted that all three “have embarrassed themselves and failed those they were elected to serve.” Ben Kalasho presented his reaction in the form of the following Facebook post and photo.
