The Chief – Really Right

Why Do We Blog?

By Chief, Johnnie Does, Jake the Snake, and Troll

In a very rare once in a lifetime situation, we had an emergency meeting of the blog staff sans William. We met at a local pizza joint and are looking forward to Johnnie Does reviewing it.

We blog because we love it.

Look at the talent we have here at Reallyright.com

The Chief is our political blogger. He goes after both parties even calling out Donald Trump when he sees fit. Chief even went after Aaron Park and rumor has it that Park couldn’t sit for a week due to the beating Chief put on him! One thing is for sure; he takes zero prisoners!

George and Aaron Park with Jeb Bush on 05-13-2015

Real simple, do not tell me Jeb Bush is a squish and then sit front row at a fundraiser event in Reno.

Johnnie Does is a wild man. His food reviews have actually shut a couple of businesses down. He actually got an Afghani place to quit using Frank’s Red Hot as a substitute for actual hot sauce. The owner of Side Burn BBQ got into the comment section and tried to refute him, the place closed down in about a week. Dickey’s BBQ has shut twice, one thing is for sure, if you like average BBQ go own or eat at a Dickey’s. Iif Johnnie Does has the cannon aimed at you, pray for rain or mercy because it will not be good.

Jake the Snake is our resident “Catholic” we use air quotes because his blogging makes us wonder if he puts money in the collection basket or takes it out when the offering basket goes around. He has never met a Pope he actually likes. He is for sure not scared at all of calling out the Church for its misguided ways. Jake will be spending a long time in Purgatory, look it up you heathens! Transgender parents? No thanks.

Troll cannot be taken seriously. Literally during this get together, he was reading a Playboy and smoking a joint. He doesn’t take things seriously and we don’t take him seriously. He has a love for Jennifer Aniston, Hope Hicks, Lolo Jones, and Angel Reese. He does know smoking hot women, at least from afar. We have a sneaky suspicion he has a thing for Lauren Bobert as well, to be continued. Troll loves nothing more than mocking folks, but he has not blogged recently. He and Johnnie Does are going to be on a milk carton soon if they do not shape up.

Let us take a gander at what we have accomplished here on the blog.

As mentioned earlier, Johnnie Does has shut down a couple restaurants, he has talent.

The best thing this blog has covered was “Grapist” Dominic Foppoli.

Folks the blogs went viral, we had record traffic on the blog. We had an attorney threaten a lawsuit while naming his client in the comment section. Full disclosure, we only named his first name, the attorney put his full name in the comment section, are you retarded? Sure, he was not charged with a crime, but my reporting got the attention of the attorney representing the survivors, and a journalist at the local paper. I was interviewed by both; my stories are credible. William gave me a platform; we got a ton of views! I make no apologies for my reporting or talents.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Blog Staff

Editor’s Note: we also used to have a contributor named Mr. X: the man with no name.

Mr. X went dark once the CRA faded away. I guess he ran out of windmills to tilt at or something. Maybe Mr. X, got mad when Twitter stole his online persona and claimed it as their own.

Boomer Thinking Smacked William in the Face

Folks William’s blog about the sinless attacking him is par for the course these days. This is Baby Boomers trying to attack folks through straw man arguments when things do not go according to plan.

This graphic is supposed to represent the Baby Boomer generation

The key is to fight that fire with gasoline! Here is how.

Folks there are 3 types of parents.

Disciplinarian: You chide your kids each time they screw up or go off routine. This works just fine until said child gets a car or goes off to college. They rebel and things go south quite quickly as they realize when the parents are not around, they can and will do anything they please with no repercussions. This isn’t terrible but eventually leads to problems if not corrected.

Traditionalists: The parents give their children all the tools to succeed, intervene, when necessary, but mostly are there as “guardrails” as opposed to being a helicopter parent. This is the category I was in; I positioned myself for success getting a full ride to college, my sister chose a life of crime. My parents did try; she does not want to change.

Helicopter parents: Or “friend parents” as I call them. These parents want to control their kids’ lives and mold them after what they couldn’t be. There will be no consequences because if they don’t like the teacher’s grades, they will go to the principal. If that fails, it’ll be a phone call or letter to the school board. Coach won’t play my kid, they go to the athletic director. The parents: defend, coddle, and make excuses for said children at every turn, the kids never hear the word “no.”

If you still cannot figure it out, options 1 and 3 listed above are the problems in today’s society. In option 1, the kid will rebel, and if they do not find issues or consequences with their behavior, it will get worse not better. In option 3 why should your kid apologize? They did nothing wrong; their entire life has been sheltered and enabled so why apologize? Rather than choosing things like counseling, let the person go down the path they are going down. Sure, you won’t like the journey, but in my experience that’s the only thing that can cause someone to wake up.

In the case of my sister, listed above, the reality of the situation was shared with me by my parents. They stated after the age of 30, people are set in their ways, they won’t change. They are both dealing with health issues; they have bigger things to worry about. They fully believe their daughter will come around someday, but she must hit rock bottom. Folks, for some people, bottom doesn’t have enough rocks to stop them. My parents shared that they think it’s equally likely she winds up in a ditch and they get a late-night phone call to come “identify a body.”

If you think that last sentence makes me not a real Christian; ok, you are entitled to an opinion. Go ahead try to be “captain save a ho” and spend your years left on earth trying to fix people. We’ve spent tons of money on homeless solutions…. Nothing has gotten better. Ditto with mass transit, and other objectives, you cannot fix some people/problems. They can only fix themselves. Trying counseling or an intervention just gives that person what they want, it’s not my fault it’s yours.

So how do you fight fire with gasoline?

Easy, it requires thinking about yourself and your own wellbeing. Your problem kid wants to move back in? They do it on your terms. If drinking, drugs, and not having a job aren’t allowed, they better conform or they can’t return to the house. It’s your house, your rules, do not compromise. Once you start deviating, the child catches on and will push more and more. Remember the book you read as a kid, If you give a mouse a cookie, he will want a glass of milk. It never ends.

Let history be the judge of your parenting. You can always say “what if” later on in life, a child going off the rails doesn’t mean you are a bad parent. Look at the negative influence the television and social media has on all young people. Thank God I am not on it!

The bigger thing to take from this blog is this, why are you letting folks judge you? It is your life not theirs. The people judging you are likely miserable. So your girlfriend is overweight? What’s it to them? You aren’t married, have no kids? Again, are YOU happy? They make fun of your friends, yet they have none of their own. Trust me when I say this, their kids are doing worse than yours. It’s called being shallow and extremely insecure. They are trying to attack someone else’s castle when they have many problems in their own. Oh, they make fun of your choice in women? I truly hope they are dating a super model! News flash; they aren’t. Make fun of me for not being married? Sure, I also see you and your wife arguing in public, I wonder what the drive home is like.

Folks, who cares what your friends think about you, they should always be there for you…. If they are judging you, they are not your friend. You will be living with the person full-time, not them. If all they see is looks/financial situation/work title they are shallow as hell. I guarantee you they are not happy.

In closing I’ll say this. William, screw what the Boomers think about your parenting style, who cares?

Yeah, the 90-day guy attacks me, as do my extended family. I’m 40 now, no wife, no kids. I will admit I am an easy target for folks who believe in some weird game of life. Trust me when I say this, the guy who is married making fun of your girlfriend, has a treasure trove of porn on his computer. Oh, when people make fun of your friends saying they’re fat, spend too much, or what have you, I guarantee such a person is a loner. Kids do not talk to you? That’s a reflection on you. So, am I missing something or inadequate? No thanks. I’m good. My house which I paid 300K for is worth about 600K, my stock picks are worth about 500K, I have about 150K in cash equivalents. Trust me, I’d take my life over yours. Money isn’t even a thing to me, I gave away 35K last year. But trust me, you are doing better than me, I’m the inadequate one, your trophy wife, what happens when she is no longer a size zero? Better go on one of those weight loss drugs, right? As she ages, better get a boob job and a butt job, right? Seriously William, read the blog a few times. If that discussed above is happiness ….. no thanks.

No Kings? Oh Please!

As William blogged, the No Kings protests happened again last weekend. Sure, there was a decent turnout, but the protestors are paid. These events are financed by a billionaire in China. Oh, and billionaire George Soros threw in 72-million dollars as well.

A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the coordinated nationwide “No Kings” protest Saturday, including communist groups who are using the day to call for a “revolution,” according to a Fox Digital News investigation.

According to a copy of the permit for the “flagship” march in St. Paul, Minn., Indivisible, a national well-heeled Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros, is the lead coordinator for the protest.

But Fox News Digital has also identified key participation by a network of radical socialist and communist organizations funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American tech tycoon and avowed communist living in China.

500 groups with $3B in revenues are behind the #NoKings protests and communist call for ‘revolution’

Let us be real for just one minute. No grown adult will wear a silly costume and make a silly sign to stand on a street corner for a whole day; unless they are being paid!

However, let me go a step further to try to explain to those whackos what a king really looks like.

Jack Dorsey (former Twitter owner) literally booted Trump off his platform. It made it next to impossible while he was running for re-election to get his message out to the under 45 crowd.

Who is the king again exactly?

Covid “pandemic” led to Gavin and Co. Didn’t get the shot? You were called a name and your life made miserable.

Owned a restaurant? Closed, or worse; simple take out only. Choose to be open for full service, you were shamed online, and fined or cited by the City/County.

Didn’t have an “essential job” then sit your butt at home and watch TV, we will get you $1000 per week, plus stimulus money. You wonder why after 3 years of lockouts no one wants to work.

Owned a rental? Oh, your tenant does not need to pay and you are forbidden from evicting them. Oh, the mortgage payment you owe is still due. Seems fair right?

Your kid’s school went from in person to virtual, but you had to report to work, so you had to assume junior was still taking his classes online. Interesting how many school districts “lost track” of numerous numbers of students.

The dental offices and some doctors’ offices were closed, and people wonder why we have a bunch of unhealthy, overweight folks on this earthly plane?

We kept open bars, liquor stores, and weed dispensaries. Read that sentence again. This is why countries like Russia make fun of us. It’s a health crisis but we prioritize, drinking, and smoking. Oh, go ahead and throw gambling in there as the Indian Casinos were exempted too. Good thing our priorities were straight!

We are still feeling the effects of this. State workers still get to work mostly from home. Our downtown in Sacramento looks abandoned except for the “unhoused masses”. It’s quite sad.

In the examples above you had an unelected bureaucrat who made the call to shut down businesses in the county over “data.” Dr Peter Beilenson was the King in chief to lock our home county down. He was later outed as a racist for called Chinese people “yellow people” on multiple occasions.

Dr Aimee Sisson was in charge of red Placer County. Once the county had enough of the lockdowns and re-opened, she tucked tail and went over to Yolo county (far more blue) and infested that county with lockdowns. The good news for her is those folks will listen to a king, as thinking for themselves is a lost art in Yolo County.

That is what a king looks like!

Black Lives Matter riots

One thing that really stood out was the sheer number of electeds and District Attorneys who pledged allegiance to this crew! NO charges were filed, and folks were allowed to; loot, riot, and destroy anything they saw fit! On some news channels it was actually encouraged! By not even attempting to stop the madness, businesses were closed, destroyed, or shut down.

Again, Kings.

In closing, I’ll say this. Trump is not perfect; it has been detailed on this blog. But how can he be considered a king? These folks detailed above literally destroyed people’s lives and livelihood. We are still feeling the damage and likely will for several more years.

If you want to know what a real king looks like; take a gander at Vladimir Putin. Elections are rigged in Russia. Political opponents jailed or “investigated” (sound familiar?). Starts a war in Ukraine and immediately conscripts folks from the parts of Russia not friendly to him. Look at the now dead Ayatollah in Iran. He gunned down thousands of protestors a couple months ago. Iran has reportedly killed over half a million of their own people just to keep control of the country. Look at Kim in North Korea, he kills opponents, purges his military every so often and starves his own people.

Yet these kooks want to call Trump a king??????

Thank You Sheriff Jim Cooper!

Bloggers note: Yes, I am aware Sheriff Cooper is a Democrat. He was once in the State Assembly and held a leadership position. I also understand he has either 2 wives/girlfriends/baby mommas etc. I have also heard through the grapevine that he is a piece of work morally and personally. I am also aware I am going to be heaping some praise on a Democrat so go ahead take my Republican card again.

The point of this blog is to try to convince the MAGA wannabe Republicans that Democrats actually can do some good. Cooper, as mentioned above, has issues, but like I tell Democrats to do with Trump, separate the person from his politics. Cooper like Trump is a piece of work. Cooper is responsible for the “Cooper Cams” in Sacramento County. (Red light cameras) that I am of the belief are unconstitutional and illegal, but cities need $$$.

You see two things can be true at once. Yes, Cooper is a Democrat, but he is also very tough on criminals/crime. Cooper, to his credit, wants a ballot initiative (proposition) to reverse the early release of sexual predators.

Here is some background:

Jim Cooper’s initiative comes amid increased calls to change California’s elderly parole program, which allows some violent criminals—including child rapists and murderers serving life sentences— to be released early. This program was established after the U.S. Supreme Court put California on notice in 2011 for its overcrowded prisons.

Sacramento sheriff announces ballot initiative aiming to keep sexual predators in prison

In the interest of fairness, the prisons were packed, the basketball courts were filled with bunk beds, and California had a problem. A court appointed Receiver (judge), Clark Kelso, was put in charge of resolving this.

We also passed a ballot initiative decriminalizing a lot of crimes and allowing early release for “non-violent” felons. Prop 57 may have had ok intentions, allow me to explain. I do think some people’s sentences, for slight amounts of drugs, are excessive in nature even for career criminals. My thinking is locking that person up for a decade is “occupying a bed” for a much more hardened criminals or releasing one early to make room. Simply on man’s opinion.

Cooper, since getting elected sheriff, has been trying to undo the bad parts of that law.

Through Cooper’s measure, known as “Protect Our Kids: Reform Prop 57,” sexually violent predators would be excluded from being considered for early release. The sheriff has been vocal about his frustration over the elderly parole program.

The elderly parole program is Liberal Democrat poop. I care little about compassionate release for a murderer or sexual predator. I could care less if they are 90 and have a myriad of health issues. Do the crime, do all your time.

Here are two examples cited by Cooper at his press conference:

Recently, serial child rapist David Allen Funston was released under this program, but Placer County officials immediately took him back into custody to face child molestation charges from 1996.

Good on that DA!

Gregory Vogelsang, who was sentenced to 355 years in prison for sexually abusing young boys in Sacramento County, is also set to be released under the program. For the time being, he will stay in custody for at least another four to six months after being granted parole in November 2025.

Vogelsang had served 27 years of his overall sentence.

27 years out of 355. Please explain that one to me! Please!

The term non-violent is blarney. Yes, sexual predators are not violent, they are the opposite. They want to gain you or your child’s trust, lure them in, and have their way with them. Why would they be violent? Oh, they weren’t violent in jail either. Weird, it’s almost like they would be the first one’s killed by the other inmates. They are usually in a separate lock-up as putting sexual predators in with the general prison population is a death sentence. So yeah, it makes sense they would be model inmates in prison.

In closing, I will say this, Cooper is on to something and as a Democrat sheriff, he actually will have the ears of lots of Democrat electeds. This is not the case of a far-right Republican sheriff from a sparsely populated county screaming MAGA at the top of his lungs. I don’t know if this will ever qualify for the ballot but give him a lot of credit here. If nothing else, the ballot measure may get the folks thinking we messed up and need to correct the law on the books.

The one thing overlooked about sexual predators is they have far more victims than the ones who came forward. Many do not want the mental anguish of testifying in court or even looking at their perpetrator. We previously profiled someone accused of rape on this blog, he too likely has a long list of victims who never came forward. You see when you have a sexual attraction to those aged under 18, it’s actually uncurable or reversible. Yeah, it’s that pesky thing called “science” you “pro-covid shot” whackos kept citing during the pandemic. Simply put, you cannot help that person. The fact they are released back into society is wild, let alone after a fraction of their sentence. Oh, also this group has one of the highest recidivism (that means re-offender) rates of all criminals, because as stated previously it’s not something that can be treated. I blame pornography for the lion’s share of this, by the way. Rapists I associate to a dog who bites someone. If they do it once then the likelihood of doing it again is very high. These guys too need to be locked up and the key thrown away.

As far as the compassionate release part; screw that. These people victimized and traumatized folks for the rest of their lives! Justice gets served with 3 hot meals and a cot, complete with guards to make sure nothing happens to them while incarcerated. Why should they get a chance to get out early? What the heck! Oh, compassion you say? Was the perp compassionate when he was committing his crimes? Get that wad of garbage out of here.

I say all prisons in California should be required to have a cemetery on site. All who are admitted with life without parole or a massive number of years to be served should be walked past it on the way to their cell. They shall be told this is where you will lay after you pass, you will not be getting out early under any circumstances unless your conviction is thrown out. (This was once the case at Folsom State prison, but the cemetery hasn’t added to its Democrat voter rolls of deceased individuals in many years.) Do that and you will likely see crime plummet. The idea that a perpetrator can be let out early from their sentence is unfathomable to me, where is the justice?

PS Oh, by the way, CRA where are all of your “tough on crime” DA and sheriff types on this? I hear a lot of crickets. If you separate Cooper’s personal life from his political one, he isn’t that bad.

Politicians Behaving Badly

Before you get your hopes up, this blog isn’t about Lauren Boebert “dumping them out” or Nancy Mace having sex with her husband prior to a prayer service. My apologies for the click bait title.

This is about one thing in politics that really drives me nuts.

“A politician’s number 1 job is to get re-elected.” – William circa 10 years ago or so.

This could not be more true. Actually, the arrogance of these types is a sight to behold. Here are examples of this behavior from both parties.

Tom McClintock (R-All over CA)

He was a state senator in Ventura, then moved to Rocklin area to run for congress. For those of you not aware these cities are nowhere near each other and have nothing in common except that they are safe GOP seats. He then relocated again after the last redistricting to the Yosemite area, again, several hundred miles away. He only cares about himself.

Kevin Kiley (R-CA)

His seat was obliterated with the “Gavinmander” as I call it. So, he dropped his Republican affiliation and is running in a more even district. He would lose anyway, but running as Independent gets you obliterated, like badly. Like he will get 8% of the vote in the primary and finish poorly.

Doris Matsui (D-Sacramento)

Doris is in a tough primary against a young progressive Democrat. Matsui who was “gifted” her seat by her husband dying has been a do nothing stooge for her entire career. She is incensed she has competition. Like most, it is her seat until she decides it isn’t. Oh, she claims a home in Maryland as her primary residence for tax purposes. Word has it that she wants her son to succeed her as it is the family’s hereditary congressional seat.

Dan Lungren (Former R-Sacramento area)

I personally watched Lungren have a meltdown when he was in a tough re-election race. He could not believe anyone could vote for someone who wasn’t him. Keep in mind he did little for the district and voted for the very unpopular bank bailout. Lungren lost four years later, and I was told he had a meltdown that night claiming that it was his campaign manager’s fault. I am of the opinion that he voted for the bailout “because the polls said it was a good thing.”

Anne Marie Schubert (Former DA Sac County)

I remember the local CRA and Republican Central Committee fawning over her. They hung on her every word; she was so Republican that no criminal would ever get out of jail. To me she always seemed like an opportunist. Well, after her last re-election as DA, before the ink dried on the results, she dropped the GOP label and became Independent. She ran as Attorney General, as she was the smartest person in the room. She got demolished. Shame on you losers who endorsed her. She used you and when you were no longer needed, she bailed.

Nathan Fletcher (Former Assemblyman)

Fletcher was elected as a Republican, I believe he served two terms. At his hospitality room for the convention, he made a speech saying he was a former military guy, and he would never forget who he was and his word was his bond. Oh, after his second re-election and millions being spent on his behalf, he became a Democrat. Yep, I would love to have served with him and been in the same foxhole. Based on his character, I picture him as taking enemy fire and while everyone is focused on fighting back, Fletcher is looking to exit stage right or toss a grenade at a bag of rice so he can get a Purple Heart like John Kerry.

Lauren Boebert (R-opportunist)

Boebert is hot, don’t get me wrong. Additionally, giving an over the pants hand job and letting your date grope you during a movie tells me she would be a fun time on a date. But on a more serious note, she moved from one end of Colorado to the other into a “safer” district because polling showed she may not get re-elected where she was better known.

John Cornyn (R-Texas)

Cornyn may be the worst example. He is a dyed-in-the-wool Liberal Republican. A go along to get along type. He is in a tough primary with Ken Paxton the Texas Attorney General. Trump wants the SAVE act passed, Paxton said he would drop out if Cornyn would vote to kill the filibuster and pas it. Viola! Cornyn suddenly is for it. I doubt it will save him, but this goes to show just how far some will go to get re-elected.

Michelle and Chris Orrock (Who knows)

Michelle was elected to the local parks and rec board in Elk Grove. Her husband, Chris, saw this as the jumping board to higher office (the State Capital) and as such, no other Republican could run even when the top 3 vote getters all won seats on the Board. Read that again, literal loser Chris Orrock wanted his wife to be the only Republican to win out of the 3. Oh, the local CRA President had no issue with this either. Strange how these so-called Republicans work right? Well, she was a liberal Republican at best, actually she is more like a watered-down Democrat. Alas, she lost her seat a while ago and hasn’t been heard from since. I would assume they are scouting for the next place to move to get her to the capital, probably in another state.

The person who sometimes proofreads my blog asked a valid question, what about certain members who move just slightly to run in a seat after re-districting? Fair, and I have no real issue with it. In the blog’s satellite office in Sacramento County, the lines have shifted a few times, moving to stay in your current district I’m fine with. Moving a county or two over, I am not.

Politicians the “Evolve”

Another type of politicians behaving badly are the ones who claim they have “evolved” on an issue. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars being the best examples. For it, against it, for the surge, then against it, for it, then in favor of pulling out, then mad about the pull out. Sounds like another war going on, am I right?

Conclusion

These folks do not care about you or your lifestyle, they want power. With that power comes access to information, information they can use to become quite wealthy. The phrase, you can tell a politician is lying when his lips are moving, is a good one, and is true, but the real reason is the information they get. Check out how many poor, or middle class, come to Congress, and leave millionaires several times over on a salary of about $180,000 a year. Oh, and having to live in 2 states to boot. Hence, they get so angry when there is a chance they might lose. Sell outs, all of them. These examples are just the worst I could think of during my lunch hour. I’m sure there are more that deserve to be added to my list.

CA Governor’s Race Commentary

So, we, out here in the People’s Republic of California, are picking a new Governor this November. Governor Newsom is running for President and can’t wait to vacate the Capital!

This is where things get whacky. There are like 9 serious Democrats running for the job! Contrast that to the Republican side where there are 2 serious candidates. You are probably wondering why that is a concern. Well, in California, it’s the top two finishers that move on regardless of Party. So yes, Republicans have a chance to do the funniest thing!

While it is highly unlikely, if the Republicans were to take the top two slots, big change for the better would come to California. Democrats would likely repeal that law, and elections would go back to the way they were when this State was actually competitive. This would actually be a very good thing. Traditionally, in certain parts of California, third parties like; Green, Libertarian, and Peace and Freedom, can get a few percent of the total, meaning that they could play spoiler. Back to the Governor’s race!

In order to accomplish that feat, the Republicans would have to almost evenly split the roughly 34-37% of the vote. That is likely the size of the vote for a Republican candidate in the primary. If Sheriff Bianco and Steve Hilton can pull that feat off, they likely will be advancing to the General.

Here is why.

Democrats have a mess on their side, a big one.

They have 2 congressmen (1 former) from the Los Angeles area running; Katie Porter and Eric Swallwell. Both are known to the voters: as Porter ran for Senate 2 years ago. Xavier Becerra is a former Attorney General and he will get a few percent as well. Tom Steyer is a billionaire who is spending a lot of money and running a lot of ads. He will also get several percent of the vote. Matt Mahan is the Mayor of San Jose who is kind of a populist, he will also garner a few percent. Tony Thurmond, and Betty Yee were both elected statewide a few times, again they will register a couple percent. Antonio Villaragosa is the former LA mayor; he could get a couple percent as well. Problem for the Democrats is all of those 8 names are going to split up the vote, and it could lock them out of the top two.

Even more candidates wanting to replace Gavin Newsom

Polling has been scarce, but it appears Steve Hilton (former Fox News Host) is leading the entire field with some combination of Swalwell, Porter, and Steyer a few points behind, and Sheriff Bianco in that mix as well. One has to wonder, when will the knives come out on both sides. Let’s be real for a minute here. There is zero chance of a Republican being elected Governor, zero; unless both Republican candidates make the top 2. At what point, if you are advising Swalwell, Porter, or Steyer do you say, “rip the gloves off and go scorched earth on each other?” The goal being get yourself and a Republican into the top two and voila you win. One thing for sure, it’s a very fluid race, and will change a bunch over the next few months. Steyer’s ads will show his support rising; however, he is all in on the billionaire tax, quite a few Democrats are not in support of it. Swalwell is probably the moderate of the group, Porter being the far-left progressive pick. Porter has documented anger issues and Swalwell slept with a Chinese spy, so they are flawed.

Wild card. Who will Trump endorse? Don’t get it twisted, even in a state like California, his endorsement will move the numbers; however, I would prefer that he stay out. Neither GOP candidate is great. Actually, both are seriously flawed. Neither have raised much money. Hilton is doing better in the polls as he likely has higher name identification due to his years hosting a show on Fox during the weekends. Bianco is an elected Sheriff from Riverside County (near LA) so he has name I.D. too.

Needless to say, it could be a fun couple of months out here in CA. One thing is for certain; the Democrats do not want 2 Republicans getting through, but if the top three Democrats take the gloves off, it could happen. If Trump doesn’t weigh in, again the top 2 Republicans could split 38% of the vote or so. The other thing that is for certain, if 2 Democrats make the top two, there is a solid chance the GOP could decide the outcome.

Get your popcorn ready!

Literal Piece of Trash Released from North Carolina Prison

I came across this piece of news in my feed the other day and had to blog it.

Woman who falsely accused Duke lacrosse players of rape released from prison following murder conviction

The woman who falsely accused Duke lacrosse players of raping her two decades ago walked free from a North Carolina prison on Friday after serving time for the slaying of her boyfriend.

Crystal Mangum, a 47-year-old former exotic dancer, wore a gray sweatshirt and khaki pants as she left the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women in Raleigh at about 9:49 a.m. ET.

First thing that came to mind is what did she do now? But to refresh your memory Crystal Mangum is the woman who falsely accused the Duke lacrosse players of rape years ago as listed above. Well, she apparently killed her boyfriend and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. To help you understand just how much of a piece of trash this person is, look at the folks whose lives have been ruined around her.

First, while I do not condone her work as a stripper, my guess is when you have nowhere else to turn after your application to be a community organizer is turned down, you strip.

She performed for the Duke lacrosse team and accused 3 boys of raping her. The outcry was huge, as you could imagine. In a state like North Carolina with a large black population, 3 white boys raping a poor black girl was huge news. More so, Duke is a private and very wealthy prestigious university. The local County District Attorney, Mike Nifong, picked up the case and charges were filed. The boys were “convicted” long before the trial in the court of public opinion. Oh, and this case was spoken about almost nightly on national cable networks. These boys were dragged through filth, if memory serves correctly, they were kicked off the team and expelled.

The DA essentially used this case to try to grab a higher office, he now had a very public profile. With all the attention, pressure is ratcheted up, he knew he could not lose this case. Well, it backfired. Mangum admitted the rape never happened, but not until about a year later. The charges were dropped by the State Attorney General. The boys were declared “innocent.” Folks, one thing to remember is, in the case of OJ Simpson, he was declared “not guilty;” however, that is not the same as innocent. It means the state did not prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. These boys were declared innocent, as in falsely charged. Huge difference.

DA Mike Nifong was investigated and tried for prosecutorial misconduct; he was subsequently disbarred (lost his law license). He was charged with contempt and served a day in jail as a result. Nifong was no saint in the matter, but I do feel a little bad for him. This case attracted so much attention that he was under pressure for a conviction. Local sergeant from the Durham police department, Mark Gottlieb, the head investigator of the case took heat too. Again, he was no saint as he had an axe to grind with students at Duke University. Again, there was immense pressure here. Does the white cop want to doubt a black girl’s story of rape by rich white kids? Gottlieb later killed himself, likely due to his role in this and his life altering involvement.

The university settled with all 3 players for, I believe, 20 million each. Compared to the hell they went through and likely continue to go through, that’s a pittance.

The coach of the team had to resign, another piece of collateral damage in this women’s bullshit life. Oh, Mangum was never charged for her role in this made-up story.

So, if you are keeping score at home:

3 lacrosse players live’s altered massively.
1 coach who had to resign and really never recovered.
1 DA disbarred and publicly shamed.
1 police sergeant who killed himself.
1 university that paid out likely over 100 million in damages.

She was never charged.

Oh, then she murdered her boyfriend:

Mangum was convicted in 2013 for second-degree murder in the stabbing of her boyfriend, Reginald Daye, to death in April 2011. She was sentenced to more than 14 years in prison.

Let us add him to the tally above.

She is out of prison on parole. Somehow that feels really wrong that she can breathe the same air as you and I. When you leave this many people in your wake, do you really deserve to be let out of prison? Mangum is going to pull another stunt soon. When she does, I hope her and her abettors pay the price. History has a weird way of repeating itself folks, just watch. This woman is not sorry, she is lucky. Not too many people get the same chance as her. I would have given her life, no parole and ordered the department of prisons to bury her under the jail when she passes.

Piece of trash!

PS, I am not excusing the behavior or DA Nifong or Sgt Gottlieb, I am just saying they were pawns in her game. They were literally collateral damage.

The Ayatollah is Dead … That’s a Great Thing!

In case you missed it, a horrible, terrible, no-good human being assumed room temperature this past weekend. Iran’s Supreme Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed. Dead, like a door nail! The strikes were coordinated with Israel in a much broader sense, it’s a full-on war in Iran in my humble opinion.

I’ll touch more on the war below, but I want to put out some very disturbing info I saw in my newsfeed over the weekend.

I saw an article about how the merry band of losers, California Democrats, our so called leaders, were upset with the result. Yeah, I’m serious. They expressed anger with the Ayatollah being killed. Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, and Ami Bera were all upset that the War Powers Act was not used. Again, I’ll touch on that later, but I want to point out, Ayatollah Khamenei is directly and indirectly responsible for thousands of US and Israeli deaths over the years. He literally bank rolled; Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi’s to name a few terror proxies. The groups are not militaries; they simply fire rockets at other countries and do not care in the slightest about casualties of innocent civilians. Check out the atrocities carried out by Hamas in Israel October 7^th. Yes, folks these Democrats are actually sad this guy is dead, more so they are furious Trump did it! Rush Limbaugh was correct back in the day when he stated that Democrats cry whenever an evil dictator dies. The Iranian regime is famous for suppressing free speech, using nasty propaganda, wantonly killing, using hospitals and schools as human shields to protect military installations, and worse yet quite literally saying they want to wipe Israel off the map, and encouraging folks to say, “Death to America.” The Ayatollah started a massive government crackdown about a month ago and authorized the killing of tens of thousands of his own people who were protesting! Again, Democrats are mourning his loss, not celebrating those that want freedom.

While I understand the Democrat position on this (attack without authorization), I need folks to understand this was the only way this was going to go. Iran never negotiated in good faith with the US or the nuclear coalition, and they were never going to. They wanted a bomb, they hate Israel. Donald Trump might be a real good negotiator but eventually anyone gets to a point where dialogue ends and action is needed. It was always going to end this way.

Israel and the US moved in and took out quite a few targets almost instantly. Khamenei met his fate shortly thereafter. Actually, I believe we took out over 100 top Iranian Republic Guards over the first 4 days of this operation. As to be expected, the Iranians were pissed and have essentially lobbed missiles in every direction around them! Very dumb move. Their strikes have hit; Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar with rumors that Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates have been targeted or hit as well. Way to get all your Muslim brothers ticked at you! At the time of me writing this, it actually sounds like these nations may even join the bombing in Iran.

What is happening in Iran right now is also to be expected. Folks, Iran does not have advanced military capabilities, but they thought they did. They purchased the same hi-tech weapons from China as Venezuela did to protect their airspace from US and Israeli stealth aircraft. Thus, state-of-the-art Chinese military assets have had their butts kicked twice in about as many months by President Trump. Iran simply cannot go toe-to-toe with the USA or Israel. It’s been proven time and again. We literally went through their air defenses like a hot knife through butter, heck Kuwait shot down 3 of our planes by mistake, Iran has shot down none. The IRG has been decimated, the only thing now is how long will this last?

Regarding the war itself, if you actually want something to be upset about, our intelligence is either way off, or we were lied to. You may recall the bombing operation of their nuclear sites, where Trump claimed they were completely obliterated. Well, now we were being told Iran was a week away from having a nuclear bomb. Which was true? I think the bombing earlier this year didn’t obliterate anything; it was a waste. I do think Iran was close to a bomb, but I’m going to be honest, I’m starting to not trust Israel. I think we just got dragged into another long, drawn-out war. Oh, Israel announced they are going “boots on the ground” in Lebanon.

If you want to be upset about something, be upset about that above. What is the end game? We took out their leader, now what?

As far as the fringe Left and fringe Right complaining about the War Powers Act, when is the last time we actually declared war? It was World War II. Yep, that’s right, almost 100 years ago. There was no declaration of war for Korea, Vietnam, the global war on terror, Granada, Gulf War I or II, the Balkin States, Libya, or anything else our country has done militarily. My point is, by the time the House has a hearing, then the Senate takes the matter up, many weeks will go bye. Rand Paul, Liz Warren, and others can get on a soap box and drag this thing out forever. Had Trump not acted, and without Congress being notified before military action began, then the nuclear sites could have had the materials moved, the Ayatollah could be on the move, and the actionable intelligence would have been worthless. We had the info, we moved in, we crippled the power structure in Iran for the time being.

What is the answer? I am not totally sure. Who rises to power in Iran? I do know one thing, if the Ayatollah remaining in power was the answer, I don’t want to know the question. If you think the Ayatollah should still be alive, or that we acted illegally, you have a big dump in your pants. If you really want to die on this hill, you can argue about the War Powers Act or if we had to take Khamenei out, but it’s over now so it just seems wrong to start playing what if.

The Chief

PS Yes, America will be more dangerous in the near term. Whether you engage in conspiracies or not, it is believed there are Iranian sleeper cells here in the US. Things could get violent soon. Remember we took out Ayatollah; they have been trying for the better part of a year to get Trump.

Zohran Mamdani, AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Jasmine Crockett the Gifts that Keep on Giving

Before you ask why I am praising this merry band of whackos, maybe ask yourself the same question. Folks, politics have taken a wild turn in the last 12 years. Actually, make it 20 years! The Tea Party started all of this with the rise of “Republican” political types who simply voted NO on everything… ala Ted Cruz. I use air quotes because I do not think these types are actually Republicans, they must regurgitate the talking points on the TV. Then came Donald Trump, and the rise of the politician who actually did what he said he would do! It was also the rise of the MAGA movement, which I struggle to define as MAGA folks are all over the place and are typically only single-issue voters. President Trump winning and the rise of his supporters also gave rise to whackos on the Left side of the aisle.

Socialism sounds great until you run out of other people’s money

I call their movement MEGA. As in MEGA sized government. They have their supporters.

I recall the day when Gavin Newsom, the mayor of San Francisco, was a left-wing whacko; however, the names above make him look almost sane. I think that is the whole point of his candidacy for President.

I work with someone who openly declares the above group needs to be voted out and shut up. This could not be more stupid, but when you can only repeat what info Sean Hannity gives you, I’m not surprised. Crockett is a nut, AOC is usually spouting off garbage that is not remotely true, and outside her enclave of New York City, she is basically unelectable. Omar loves defending Somalians who are ripping off our government; it’s actually quite laughable. None of those mentioned so far would bit’sllowed in the Democrat party years ago, but like the GOP, they have changed and not for the better.

Mamdani on the other hand is a totally different brand of crazy. One who may well take down some Democrats in New York and possibly nationwide. Mamdani ,during a heavy snow fall, did not open the warming centers in New York City. As a result, 19 homeless people froze to death. Maybe this is their way of handling the homeless now that their plans have mostly been exposed as a grift. Mamdani has now gone after the governor of New York, in essence, with a threat of a large property tax increases if she doesn’t levy a tax on billionaires. Folks, a tax on property will be devastating to New York City.

Check it out…

In 2026, the average annual property tax in New York City is approximately $10,311, with an effective tax rate of about 1.90% for a typical home. While New York State’s average effective rate is 1.45%, NYC often has a higher tax burden, with median bills often exceeding $6,500-$12,000 depending on location and property type.

Increasing that will cause a large number of people to leave the City, not to mention the exodus already taking place.

Mamdani’s ideas, as stated above, make Gavin Newsom look like a moderate in comparison. Heck, all of the above electeds are starting to make Gavin look and sound reasonable. As a result, I would suggest to fellow Republicans, keep those electeds in power. Depending on the tea leaves you read, the election and control of Congress may hang in the balance…. Why not give us an edge based on the comments made by these crazies? Heck, I would toss a camera and a microphone in front of each of them daily to get their latest political takes.

No liberal wardrobe at the State of the Union Show is complete without the “Fuck ICE” button

Silence them at your own peril. The target of these political types are the broke, uneducated, criminal types, and illegal aliens. Not a group I would want to ally with. My prediction, Mamdani spends New York City into a fiscal cliff of epic proportions in a couple years! Tie the milestone around the necks of the far Left! Heck even the center Left. I want to make known just how whacky these types are.

Nothing like yelling “K.K.K.” to show respect for your adopted country

The Chief

PS my rational is because we have some whackos on our side as well. The fewer on our side the better. Oh, having the Broad Squad wearing “Fuck ICE” buttons and yelling “K.K.K.” at the State of the Union speech last night was really classy as well.

The Supreme Court got it Really Right

I have been told by many so called conservatives that the courts only strike down Republican laws, never Liberal ones. This is patently untrue, but I cannot control the way you think as you have been programmed by tv media to think the way you do.

The Constitution says that taxes must originate in the House of Representatives, not the Senate, nor by Executive Order from the Executive branch. The reason for this is our Founders set up a process where checks and balances are a thing. Large states like California, Texas, and Florida get a large says about matters in the House, while small states like Rhode Island, the Dakota’s, and Montana can hold a larger say in the Senate on matters. The Executive branch is not allowed to issue Executive Orders on certain things; they must originate in the House.

“Sorry rules are rules.”

The Constitution states that Congress has the power: “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;”

Oh, isn’t that the rallying cry of the Tea Party, far right types whenever the Liberals are in control of things? It’s all about the Constitution.

As William wrote in his blog, if Congress did its job, we would not be here. This has gone back to at least the W. Bush presidency, we no longer have a budget, we do Executive Orders and Continuing Resolutions; neither of which is authorized by the Constitution. We fund the government for around 60-90 days at a time.

This Executive Order gambit has taken on a life of its own; due to Congress not doing its job.

The problem is actually a bi-partisan one. Both parties do it. When one party controls the White House, the other party, if they control Congress, digs in and refuses to pass any legislation that helps the party in power. As a direct result, the White House does executive Orders to go around Congress. Then it is essentially up to the courts to litigate it.

Typically, the process works this way. The party out of power (not the White House), finds a friendly judge, said judge rules it unconstitutional and blocks it. Then the President, via the Department of Justice, appeals the ruling to Appeals Court. When that occurs, the Executive Order, could be allowed to continue pending appeal outcome, which is what typically occurs. In the case of tariffs, it was allowed to continue. The appeals court will rule (it’s typically a random 3 judge panel, not one judge). If the outcome is not to the liking of one party or the other, it can be sent to the Supreme Court. If the Court agrees to hear it, they usually issue a stay and allow the law/regulation to remain in place until they rule on its legality. The Supreme Court ruled today, 6-3 saying tariffs done by Executive Order are illegal.

In closing, I will say this, regardless of your belief on tariffs, I have made mine known previously, this is a big win for the rule of law. Just imagine for a minute if the Supreme Court ruled the other way, it opens Pandora’s Box for the other party to do the same on their legislative priorities. If that were to occur, what is the point of Congress? Trump is aiming his anger at the Court; he should be aiming his anger at Congress.
