A Conservative Latino’s take on politics… The race to see who represents the conservative voice for the 50th Congressional District is over. Grassroots activist, Carl DeMaio conceded to former representative Darrell Issa. I don’t know who started it, but as we know, this campaign got ugly. Most don’t remember a race between two Republicans this bad in years. The last …
Carl DeMaio – Entrepreneurial Politics
A Conservative Latino’s View on Politics… I understand how an industry can begin to accept certain standards or ways of doing business that go against successful norms – politics is one of them. Since getting involved in local politics, and how I’ve lived life from both a personal and business perspective, I read Carl DeMaio’s campaign team announcement, and I …
The Empire Strikes Back: CAGOP Remains Center-Left with Jessica Patterson
A conservative Latino’s view on politics… If your happy with the California Republican Party (CAGOP) and wanted the continued success of the worst beatdown in CAGOP history, your candidate was center-left Republican Jessica Patterson. Handpicked by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, she’s to be his marionette to his puppet master and continue the same leadership we’ve had since 2010. Conservatives …
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 …
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 …
Help Keep The 50th Congressional District Away From The Democrats

What’s wrong with politics in East County: The political parties ignore bad behavior
Guest Commentary by Hon. Kristine Alessio “The only infallible criterion of wisdom to vulgar minds – success.” — Edmund Burke When after a lifetime of membership I left the Republican party, I was accused of doing it for political gain on this site and in other media. But that was nothing more than ad hominem, which did not address the …
Surprised that DeMaio didn’t run? Just follow the moves.
When Carl DeMaio pulled papers for the 50th Congressional District on Monday of last week, while also paying the $1,740 non-refundable filing fee, many thought that was a final decision. He was indeed running against Duncan Hunter. When he then announced last Friday he wasn’t running, it surprised the same “many.” Why the heck would he cough up over 1,700 …
Hunter or Issa? Better choices for East County.
Report: Darrell Issa mulling a run for Duncan Hunter’s seat If this happens the joke is on East County. Congressman Duncan Hunter has a safe seat and while being a leader on vape and art reform, has not used his safe position to lead in critical areas. Hunter regularly votes for farm subsidies, food stamps, and subsidies to Ex/Im Bank, …
Dissecting the Issa statement: An obvious question
With all the buzz today about the Darrell Issa retirement — has anyone asked the obvious question? Read the statement. Issa does not say why he’s decided to retire. He does refer to his service in “California’s 49th District … coming to an end.” He does say he will continue to find ways to keep up the battle. Question: Should …
Congressman Hunter Associates Sen. Rand Paul with Nancy Pelosi
For those who missed last night’s meeting of the San Diego County Republican Party at the Town & Country: A foolish comment from Congressman Duncan Hunter as he used the podium of our party to publicly denigrate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) by associating him with Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). For those inspired by the ideals of constitutionally limited government, free …
Never give up fighting for Freedom: In defense of Duncan Hunter
Response to the article, Hunter has no clothes…ahem…conservatism, published by Eric Andersen last month (Dec. 19). Guest Commentary by Melory Tsipouria I am not going to hide the fact that I am disappointed with the positions and statements/comments from some of my friends recently about Congressmen Duncan Hunter and Darrell Issa in connection with their votes on the recently passed …

Voices on Healthcare
My Sunday San Diego column at FlashReport… I attended the annual Grossmont Hospital Foundation gala last night while Congressional voting was taking place on healthcare. Some say it wasn’t a good night for hospitals to celebrate, but the Grossmont event was scheduled long ago and Nancy Pelosi didn’t ask about any scheduling conflicts. Any night that the community comes together …
Time to Go, Bob.
Many in San Diego have said for years that Bob Watkins had a promising future in elective office. He did of course serve on the County Board of Education, but that clearly was for him a low-level stepping stone to something higher profile, such as County Supervisor, State office, or even Congress. As far back as 1988, Watkins toyed with …
