I applaud Congressman Hudson of NC (Sponsor) and Congressmen Issa and Hunter (Co-Sponsors) for voting for HR 38 yesterday. While HR 38 is not a defense of the Second Amendment, it does let the CCW permit holders (I call them “gun club members”) carry anywhere in this country. The hitch is that they must have a statist’s permission from a …

Gun Owners’ Response to Times of San Diego Article about Bill Gore
(Ken Stone, Times of San Diego, originally requested a response from SDCGO and subsequently reneged on his promise to publish the response.) In reference to the article published on November 17, 2017, titled “Sheriff Gore Aims to Issue More Concealed Gun Permits in San Diego County,“ ideally a response only discusses policy, but it is necessary to correct inaccuracies in Sheriff …
Times of SD: Sheriff Gore Aims to Issue More Concealed Gun Permits in San Diego County
From an article by Ken Stone in Times of San Diego… “We’re really trying to broaden the categories and not be a stickler as far as waiting for an actual threat,” Gore said, noting the case of a female real-estate agent who once confronted him. “She said: ‘Sheriff, I’ve had a gun my entire life. I know how to shoot …
House Passes Tax Overhaul Measure
Washington, DC — Describing it as a “once-in-a-generation” opportunity, Congressman Duncan Hunter (CA-50) today voted in favor of H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, when the measure passed the House by a margin of 227-205. “This has been long overdue,” said Congressman Hunter. “I cannot think of a more important action we can take to invest in our …

The part of the talk captured on the video concerns Sheriff Gore discussing his CCW policy. Sheriff Gore …
No Show Nathan Fletcher Does It Again
Unless you have been under a rock for the past few years, you know that former right-wing Republican, then incoherent Independent, and now newly minted ultra-liberal Nathan Fletcher has a long history of not showing up for work. Well, he did it again. Along with the other candidates for the Country Supervisor’s seat being vacated by Ron Roberts, Nathan was …
More jobs. Fairer taxes. Bigger paychecks.
Visiting with the Ramona Chamber of Commerce at their recent mixer, hosted by Ramona Disposal, reinforced to me the importance of the tax reform plan we are working on in Congress. House Republicans rolled out our framework for fixing the broken tax code that has been plaguing individual freedom and business growth for decades. I am excited about this plan. …
Travis Allen’s awkward “crony capitalist” past
Travis Allen walks, talks, and sounds exactly like a tea party Republican…except he’s not. This is awkward: In October 2010, Allen gave $250 to California Sen. Barbara Boxer, $250 to the state Democratic Party and $1,000 to Brown. The donation to Brown was made in the name of the financial planning firm Allen owns, Wealth Strategies Group. All of the other contributions …

Ron Roberts Accused Of Fraud By Scott Lewis of Voice of San Diego
Do you remember when County Supervisor Ron Roberts pledged $150 million (from San Diego County’s treasury) to a new Chargers stadium? (You can hear it here at 1:10 in the Jan, 2016 podcast.) A year later, Roberts backtracked, claiming that no offer was made. But Roberts did make the claim. He even signed a letter to the NFL in Dec 2015 …
Chris Cate’s Problem Is Mara Elliott
Mara Elliott is a politician. When I met her, I was underwhelmed. She came off as a loony progressive. Her campaign speeches inspired few — she ran as a “technocrat” who failed to attract support from the Democratic insiders. When she defeated her Democratic opponents in the June 2016 primary, I remember thinking that she might win the City Attorney race …
Christopher Columbus is Bad Because he Knowingly Infected Native Americans With Disease
The City of Los Angeles will no longer celebrate Columbus Day (but they will have a holiday called Indigenous Peoples Day). The main objection to Christopher Columbus is the theory that he is a genocidal maniac, purposefully infecting native populations with disease from his ship’s crew. Progressives would have you believe that Columbus was a white supremacist terrorist engaged in …
SDSU Must Not Bow Down to Antifa Terrorism
The scourge of the heckler’s veto has regrettably found its way to San Diego, as SDSU officials canceled Milo Yiannopoulos’ upcoming event hosted by the SDSU College Republicans. The reason proffered by SDSU was, predictably, security costs. SDSUPD Chief Josh Mays explained that “officers would need more than six hours and 20 bomb-sniffing dogs to secure Montezuma Hall.” What? Six …

Republican Party of San Diego County Should Pull Its Endorsement of Assemblyman Maienschein
Back in July, Assemblyman Rocky Chávez broke his 2012 promise to not raise taxes by supporting cap and trade. The Central Committee of the Republican Party of San Diego County voted to not endorse his 2018 re-election campaign in their August meeting. At that same meeting, the Committee voted to endorse Assemblyman Brian Maienschein’s 2018 re-election campaign. Last month, Assemblyman Brian …
Las Vegas: An Asteroid Did Not Fall From The Sky
Guest Commentary by Casey Gwinn, Esq. Professional gambler Stephen Paddock committed the worst mass shooting in the history of the United States. He killed 58 people (so far) and injured more than 500. Right after the carnage, his brother Eric said “an asteroid fell out of the sky” because his brother gave no indications “at all” that he was on …
