Is A Vote For Trump A Vote For Clinton?

Brian BradyBrian Brady 1 Comment

Libertarian candidates Gary Johnson and Bill Weld, both successful past Republican governors in traditionally Democratic states, are starting to say that: “It may get to the point where Mr. Trump is not able to win and you may hear from us that a vote for Trump is a wasted vote so you had better go with Johnson/Weld”– past MA Gov. …

Judicial Reform Wins in Sacramento

Eric AndersenEric Andersen 9 Comments

Just law is fundamental to peace and prosperity. Most all of the problems we face are created or made worse by bad law. Civil asset forfeiture is one example. It violates rule of law, due process and the inherent and inalienable right to property. Civil asset forfeiture is a travesty to our judicial system and SB 443 was an attempt to begin …

Why Democratic Voters Are Cowards: Clinton is a Warmonger

Brian BradyBrian Brady 4 Comments

Remember the Democratic activists, in the street, screaming “Bush Lied.  People Died!” ? They burned him in effigy, called for his impeachment, and suggested that he and Vice President Cheney were war criminals. President Obama (and Secretary of State Clinton) were going to change all that.  They didn’t.  In fact, they bombed 7 countries to Bush’s 4 and they bombed …

Twenty Reasons Why Democratic Voters Are Cowards

Brian BradyBrian Brady 10 Comments

We are having a Presidential election this November between two horrible choices:  the Republican nominee is an amateur with little or no self-control, many policy views which align with the opposing party platform, and poor campaign infrastructure.  Many Republicans have denounced him and put country over party this election cycle. The Democratic nominee is corrupt, dishonest, and power hungry.  She …

#NeverTrump Republicans Warned This Would Happen

Brian BradyBrian Brady 20 Comments

Remember when I said that Trump will fail to get 20% of the “established Republicans” vote in the November general election? As many as one out of five Republican voters have said they will not support Trump in the general election. Spurred on by a Twitter Hashtag, blogger Erick Erickson, National Review, and an electrifying letter from Nebraska Senator Ben …

Gary Johnson’s Presidential Election Strategy

Brian BradyBrian Brady 1 Comment

Gary Johnson CAN become the next President of the United States.  It’s a long shot which relies on an Electoral College stalemate, and Twelfth Amendment solution, but there is a path to the White House for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson. That’s why Johnson is so (irritably) charitable to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by withholding sharp criticism of her more …

Below is an article and TV news segment revealing widespread nepotism in the huge water department of city of San Diego. I’ve got a sound bite in the video. But this rigged hiring process is not an isolated instance. Not hardly! In California, local government nepotism is widespread. It’s most predominant in the few highly-prized firefighter openings. LA and Oakland …

San Diego County Taxpayers Association Represents Rotarian Socialists

Brian BradyBrian Brady 8 Comments

I said this four years ago and I will say it again:   the San Diego County Taxpayers Association doesn’t represent taxpayers.  SDCTA represents the rotarian socialists who have infiltrated the Board of Directors:   representatives from big business, taxpayer funded entities, construction interests, public sector unions, political consulting forms, and law firms.  All of these entities benefit from fleecing …

San Diego County Taxpayers Association to San Diego Chargers: “Please attend our meeting. Help us understand how you arrived at your assumptions. Share your data.

As a late-stage millennial, I have nearly 2,400 Facebook friends. Everyone I’ve met in my life is connected to me on social media one way or another, and they’re of all political stripes. My cadre of Facebook affiliates ranges from Donald Trump supporters to people who are not insane. Yesterday, I engaged in a little experiment. My hypothesis: Even the most ardent supporters of Donald Trump …

California businessman reveals the true reasons why he left the Golden State

Richard Rider, Chairman, San Diego Tax FightersUndesignated 9 Comments

For me, one frustrating aspect of all the businesses fleeing California is that the departing CEOs won’t talk about the REAL reasons why they are leaving.  They are usually VERY careful not to speak ill about the progressives’ much-ballyhooed “workers’ paradise.” But I must concede there are two very good reasons for these owners and managers to avoid telling the …

More California jobs, but too many in the lower-paying occupations

Richard Rider, Chairman, San Diego Tax FightersUndesignated Leave a Comment

The California Business Roundtable puts out interesting facts and figures concerning the California economy. Consider the example from its latest report (June, 2016). http://www.centerforjobs.org/job-reports/june-2016/ While the number of jobs in California has grown since the peak 2007 level, it’s rather disheartening to to look at which INDUSTRIES have had the job growth — and where the jobs have actually decreased. …
