by Adam Abrahms For all the lemmings who are claiming Ted Cruz broke a pledge or somehow advocated voting for someone other than Donald Trump, he did neither.

Brief from the RNC — Day 2
from Louis Russo Day two at the convention confirmed Trump as the nominee. The California delegation, at 172, constituted 1/7th of the total delegates he needed.

Boos were reserved for the Colorado delegation, who’ve managed to …
Brief from the Republican National Convention — Day 1
from Louis Russo Day one of the RNC set the tone for an exciting convention. Cruz supporters’ Hail Mary pass failed, due in large part to the stalwart stand of the California delegation.

Hunter Violates His Oath…Again
House leaders rushed through HR5602 Monday evening under suspension of the rules, thus limiting debate and amendments from being considered. H.R. 5602 violates our Fourth Amendment-secured right against unreasonable searches and seizures.

USA Today: Petco is the best ballpark in baseball
from Ted Berg in USA Today… SAN DIEGO — This place rules. I know what you’re thinking: I’m saying that because I’m here right now, enjoying myself in the beautiful Southern California sunshine for All-Star Week and falling victim to the trappings of recency bias. But in fact, I am on record naming Petco Park my favorite in all of …

UPDATED 2015 FIGURES: CA per capita GDP — adjusted for COL — is worse than all but 13 states
It’s common for the remaining California boosters (almost ALL of whom are far to the left of center) to smugly assert that “If California were a country, it would have the world’s 6th largest economy.” Referencing this ranking, “Comedian” Bill Maher recently delivered this smug progressive punchline to Republicans — “Scoreboard, bitches!!” To entertain his carefully screened liberal audiences, Maher …

Do you know how the “Reform Agenda” started in San Diego? In 2003, we had a Republican Mayor (Dick Murphy), several Republican Councilmembers, and the “Downtown Mafia” (Chamber, etc.) that either sat silent while Democrats pushed bigger government and tax hikes – or worse, actively supported it! They said we couldn’t balance the budget without massive tax hikes. They said …

Congressman Scott Peters: Pick Your Racist Ass Up Off The Floor
Scott Peters is a waste of space. One of the reasons I never got too worked up about him is because he has occupied the back bench of Congress for four years and has done nothing. I like legislators who do nothing because it generally means my life, liberty, or property isn’t in peril. But Scott Peters, like his henchwoman Maryann …

CA is world’s 6th largest economy, but 37th worst STATE economy

Impressive! Well, actually, not. California has 39 million people — 43% larger than the 2nd largest state (Texas). Such GDP comparisons don’t tell us much …
