President Trump: A Restoration of the Republic or the Beginning of the TVGOP ?
I might vote for Donald Trump for President because I am an optimist. I have long considered the real problem in this country to be the imperial Presidency. Congress has abdicated its constitutional authority over the past 20-25 years and given the Executive Branch opportunities to seize that power. Trump’s support comes from Republican voters’ discontent with a flaccid Congress. …

Because, ya know, all those Dems opposed to the Chargers’ downtown stadium plan are part of the conservative coalition
San Diego Rostra Editorial Yesterday, Voice of San Diego Editor in Chief Scott Lewis wrote of “conservative” plans to kill the San Diego Chargers’ proposal for a downtown stadium… If you were wondering whether the city’s coalition of conservative business groups was open to supporting the Chargers’ plan for a new convadium in East Village, wonder no longer: It looks …
Officially Endorsed Democrat Candidate is a Cyber Creep

San Diego NFL stadium subsidy proponents doing “push poll” about this boondoggle
Yesterday I fielded one of those automated voter polls concerning the San Diego downtown stadium.

None of the many arguments against this boondoggle were presented. Then it asked …

Republican Disenchantment
I’m disenchanted with the GOP, not because Republicans are nominating Donald Trump; but because the country’s Republican leaders are so out of touch with the electorate that — through their own ineptitude — they unwittingly created an environment accepting of him.

Maybe you’re stupid too.
Regarding Donald Trump repeating a tabloid journalism article, well, it can’t be said any better than Martin Roules said it on Facebook: Ted Cruz’ father in the Kennedy assassination? The Miami Herald notes, with almost comical understatement, “The explosive suggestion that Cruz’s father would have had any affiliation with Oswald is not corroborated in any other way.” Where are the …
Fiorina and the Cruz Hindenburg
