So, the Supreme Court shot down parts of The Voting Rights Act as being unconstitutional. The act basically made it so majority minority congressional districts cannot really be altered very easily. Basically, I read it as “the other side of the tracks, the inner city or mostly black areas got a seat.” So those protections are gone now, and I think it’s a good thing actually, but likely not for the same reasons you might think.
Likely electoral map as of May 10, 2026
I am not ok with removing a majority black district’s representative when the district will be sawed up like an example I give below. I do think it’s actually good long term, because as things are currently, you essentially created a fiefdom. Once that member got elected, they serve 40 years and essentially do nothing for the district. Then, as a result, falls into a state of disrepair. The other members won’t care about it, and the guy representing the seat may not even live there! In one such example, there is a blighted area near Watt and I-80 near the light rail stations. It’s a drug, gang, crime, and human trafficking haven. It’s been that way for probably 50 years. Think the representative cares? I don’t.
However, here is the part I do not agree with and do not like.
States have now decided to re-district their lines again. The mostly black districts are being whacked 3 or 4 ways. The intent here is just to wipe them out. Louisiana paused their primary election. Tennessee has taken 60% black Memphis and carved it up 3 ways. All seats are now Republican in Tennessee, net +1. South Carolina and Alabama appear to be on the similar path, could they wipe out both Democrats in Alabama? Seems to be tough. Plus 1 in South Carolina probably happens. Louisiana is likely another plus 1. I don’t think they can carve up New Orleans. Texas, California, and New York could do the same as well, now that the voting rights act is gone, likely not this year though. Note: CA & TX redid their maps and made each party likely to gain 5 seats a piece.
I do not believe that our system of government intended for the lines to be redrawn more often than once a decade, since districts are drawn after the census. You should not be dividing up big cities or stretching districts to include swaths of rural areas. This dilutes the vote for both parties. Think about it, where I live, no Republican will get close to winning statewide. My congress seat is overwhelmingly Democrat, ditto with my state rep and state senator. No reason for me to pull the lever. It’s the same in red states. They essentially took the word “election” out and replaced with controllable seat. It also needlessly dilutes the vote. California, like Texas and New York has lots of registered voters from the other party. Check out what Virgina was trying to do; redraw every seat to be safe for the blue team. Tennessee is now safe for the red team.
In closing, I actually think it’s odd that this practice has taken over. It used to be you basically kept the district lines the same, maybe you added or lost a seat and re-jiggering happened. Then there was a push for independent committees to do it. Now it’s rig this thing so no one will lose, and the other party will be locked out.
The Chief
Editor’s Note:I have found here in Idaho that the vast majority of Democrats have registered as Republicans. They run for office as Republicans but vote with the few Democrats in the Legislature. The really odd part is that average Republicans are often ok voting for Democrats (or RINOs if you prefer) as long as the blessed “R” is next to their party designation on the ballot. My current “Republican” State Senator voted to allow boys to use girl’s bathrooms, opposes Idaho’s profile laws, votes for every spending increase, and opposed educational vouchers and other conservative bills. He has a good chance at re-election because he is getting lots of support from Political Action Committees run by large national and international companies. Oh, last election, my “Republican” Senator’s yard signs were often seen with signs supporting Kamala Harris and a ballot measure for Ranked Choice Voting. This what being a “Big Tent” Republican looks like in the real world.
I’m going to educate folks about voter fraud. Yes, I do believe fraud exists, no I do not believe it’s hundreds of thousands or millions of ballots.
I know of one whack job who has said voter fraud is the reason California is not a red state. Folks, if you believe that, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote. That is what I refer to as a hair on fire conspiracy theory. It also makes people think there is no fraud.
I do think fraud exists by both parties; I was told more people are registered to vote than there are people eligible to in just about every county in California. I do believe this to be true.
The problem I have with the Republican approach is they try too hard to prove something that could be proven far easier. The DOJ subpoenaed ballots from Fulton County (Georgia) for the 2020 election where Trump keeps swearing was ripe with fraud. Never has there been an indictment or a report verifying the fraud existed. Again, the lack of any reports tells me that fraud likely did not occur. Chad Bianco (sheriff running for governor) seized a bunch of ballots in his home county of Riverside. Nothing appears to be coming out of that either. In both of these examples, a reasonable conclusion would be “much ado about nothing” conspiracy myth busted.
Why not try a more reasonable approach.
The Republican Party should look to what the CRA did over a decade ago. (The following relates to the CRA statewide convention held around 2011.) The rumor was that there were a bunch of local units that existed only on paper. Said paper units existed solely to endorse preferred candidates of the political class/consultants every 2 years. The membership secretary, Peggy Mew, would not turn over the membership rolls. As a result, some of the officers went to investigate for themselves. When the units were confronted by Aaron and George Park at the convention, my goodness what a show that was. One unit president could not name what date they held their meetings. Another couldn’t name the meeting location. A check was shown from a political consultant paying the fees for several members of different units. Obviously, fraud was occurring. My understanding is the units were shuttered.
What is my point?
Fight the fraud the same way. Folks, I can tell you it exists. Want solid proof? Here in the town 20 or so minutes from me, a city councilman pleaded guilty to voter fraud. He had quite a few ballots, and registered voters living at his house.
Shakir Khan, in January 2024, took a no-contest deal for stashing 41 ballots at his home for the 2020 election. Investigators also found that he had registered 23 people at his home and that his email and phone number had been used to register 47 others.
Folks Lodi is the town this occurred in. It is not very large. Let’s call it 47 ballots of fraud in Lodi, so how many does that equate to in say; Sacramento? San Francisco? Los Angeles? San Diego? I have been told stories of apartments that have numerous active voters registered at them. Maybe start there?
The Marin GOP claims 73 dead people voted in the special election we had a few months ago….
“I, along with others on our committee, have been dissecting Marin County voter rolls for over three years,” Turnacliff said during the public comment portion of the meeting. “ … And based on our analysis of the ballots that were returned for the Prop. 50 special election on Nov. 4, we found 73 people, 73 dead people had voted in that election.”
While some will say 47 and 73 amount to rounding errors, those were recently discovered. As I mentioned earlier, how many more exist? The apartment with 9 people registered to vote who are regular voters may be a place to start. It is not about accusing folks of fraud, it’s just asking a question. I bought my house 10 years ago; the couple I bought it from, I believe, have both passed away. If still listed as active and voting at my address, someone has some explaining to do.
My point is has been and always will be, try to crack the door open. Once it gets cracked open, use a pry bar and force it to be completely open. In my opinion, the Lodi city councilman had some smoke, which turned into a lot of smoke, then a lot of fire. It got to a point that it needed to be investigated and prosecuted.
I am sure there are a ton of these cases that could be made. Quit screaming hair on fire voter fraud conspiracies or waiting for Trump’s DOJ to prosecute or release a report on voter fraud. Sheriff Bianco seizing ballots? It’s a rough look, intentions may have started out being good, but it’s a bad look.
But, but, but our county has a Democrat DA, get the local paper involved. San Joaquin is a blue county; they prosecuted that Lodi councilman. It can and will happen. Crying about the 2020 election makes you sound like a bitter ex-lover. Move on. Yes, there were likely shenanigans, but Trump got elected again and moving on is good.
The Chief
Editor’s Note: I respectfully disagree with the Chief on this issue. I think vote fraud is a huge issue, especially in California. Here is an article from one week ago. Oregon was ordered by a federal court to remove 800,000 names from their voter rolls following a lawsuit from Judicial Watch. “Oregon and nearly all its counties had registration rates exceeding 100% of the eligible population, the highest inactive registration rate in the nation.” Ditto for voter rolls in many parts of the once golden state.
Warning: this post discusses adult themes and is not for the faint of heart or those under 18 years old.
So, I was in the office working today for 90-day guy’s colleague. 90-day guy retired last month but has been coming by to clean-up his personal belongings. He has a computer that is his that he left behind. He quarried me today about what he should do to remove the data from it. I answered that with a question “why are you so concerned with what is on the hard drive?” He quickly retorted he had nothing to hide; he was just curious. I told him either; throw it away in the dumpster or take it to e-waste to be recycled. He wanted no part of either of those as he is convinced someone would obtain said computer and hijack his info. With as much TV as he watches, I would assume he saw reports on the news and likely watched a program about dumpster diving leading to identity theft or something. Odd paranoia for someone who has nothing to hide, am I right?
Computer in need of e-waste or decontamination
Maybe I am naïve, but who would want to obtain your computer and crack the hard drive? Let’s be honest just for a minute, if you are storing your username and passwords on your computer in a Word file, you may be the dumbest person on earth. But even if someone obtained that info, most people have two-factor authentication set up, like I do. You could steal my information, but you would also need my phone to get into any account of mine, as a 6-digit code is sent to my text message box.
He doesn’t have passwords or sensitive info on his computer. It’s pornography, and very disturbing pornography to boot.
How do I know this? Well, it’s speculation because I have not seen it, but let’s just say there is a ton of smoke. Here I’ll explain.
Here are some of the leading indicators:
Sick, very inappropriate sexual jokes. On two separate occasions, he demanded me and my now employer listen to his “very, very funny joke” of a man having sex with a sheep. On the other occasion it was a man having sex with a goat. I will not gross you out by repeating said “jokes.” On both occasions of telling these, he laughed like a four-year-old would laugh at the word “poop”. Neither my current employer nor I laughed at all. 90-day guy said, “what is wrong with you two? It’s funny!” I felt compelled to respond saying “people do not have sex with animals, its gross, disgusting, and a wildly inappropriate topic for a work setting. He didn’t agree.
Normalizing transgender behavior. He has a granddaughter who is dating a transgendered male. He has always wildly defended transgendered people, and I never really knew why. He has suddenly become the “Colin Kaepernick” of defending transgendered people. Calling them “oppressed”, or in need of “being equal to others.”
Odd comments/behaviors about younger girls. So, on this one I caught him. I had to go behind his desk to grab a rate book manual, and on his phone, he was looking at young girls in swimsuits. While this isn’t really a crime per se, it’s pretty gross. He made the comment “when you get older, you need to look at half naked or naked young girls to get it up.” Yikes.
Comments about his granddaughter. This is gross. He made a comment about his freshman in high school granddaughter calling her “hot.” Barf.
Jokes about same sex “sex.” As Jake the Snake will tell you, the Catholic Church screwed up with the priests having sex with young boy’s scandal. Full stop. 90-day guy routinely makes comments about the Catholic priests and the Boy Scout leaders having sex with young boys; like way more often than a normal person would. Seems like an obsession with him. His latest comment was “if two guys are having sex is it considered doggy style?” Yikes.
Odd relationship with his brother. This one is wild. He has nothing good to say about his brother, quite literally nothing. He will golf/hangout with him and afterwards have nothing good to say again. They go out to lunch, again he says zero good to say about him. However, when his brother texts/calls him, he not only answers, he feels compelled to hang out/golf/go to lunch etc. Who does that? When I finally met his brother, I asked him what it was like growing up with 90-day guy. Well, before his brother could get a word in, 90-day guy filibustered, talking about … well … nothing. It was talking just to fill time and not allow anyone else to speak. After he was done with his filibuster, they immediately “had to leave.” More on this later.
So how can I conclude he has porn on his computer?
So, first, I am not a fan of circumstantial evidence, I like seeing a smoking gun, not “if this, then that must be true”. However, in this case, there is too much smoke for there not to be fire.
But porn isn’t illegal!
This is in fact correct. Porn, in my opinion, is likely 70% of the traffic on the internet. Yes, it is not illegal to possess or look at porn. Even the very disturbing men with animals, transgender porn, or even same sex porn. But (btw no good thing ever comes after the word “but”) pornography with people underage is a felony and a major crime at that.
My conclusion.
He is a very sick puppy dog. Very sick. No one of sound mind declares they “have nothing to hide” while simultaneously not wanting their computer to fall into the wrong hands. For the living impaired, if you throw your computer or anything into the trash for that matter, the garbage truck has a ram that will repeatedly smash said garbage over and over again. I have seen said garbage truck empty its load at the dump, with the load being unrecognizable. If someone was going to grab a computer (if they can find one), then in my opinion, go for it. Access it and steal anything you want. News flash: no one is going to do that.
I am positive that he has a treasure trove of very eclectic porn on his computer’s hard drive. The jokes about men having sex with animals is because he is trying to attempt to normalize his obsession. His comments about transgender people being people too is because he is into that as well. When you are into the porn like he is, you have to normalize it. Why? Because nothing is normal at all about a guy having sex with animals, nor a guy deciding he is a girl. The photos of girls in swimsuits, also is not a crime, it gives dirty old man vibes. The porn is not an issue; the problem is as follows.
The porn on his computer is that of underage girls. His comments crystallize it. His paranoia seals it. Folks no one cares what kind of porn you are into, it’s sick but if the actors are over 18, it’s not a crime. Gross, but again, not a crime. However, the porn with underage girls carries something that should scare most people to death. There is no statute of limitations on that.
Ask Subway spokesperson Jared Fogel what happens when they find underage porn on your computer.
The reason for my conclusion
Well, it’s obvious. Folks who have nothing to actually hide do not care if you look at things. William moved my hard drive’s contents from one computer to another. If any out of sorts things existed, he would have found it. Oh, wait, he, like most, doesn’t give a you know what!
And, as a guest blogger, we will turn this over to Jake the Snake for further commentary:
So, I went to a lecture about addiction. It focused on all addictions. I failed the bar exam so that was part of it, it was not court ordered by the way. When the speaker spoke about porn, it was eye opening. First, you watch guy/girl porn, then maybe girl/girl or I guess guy/guy porn. The point being, the guy/girl doesn’t do it for you anymore. So, you need to go for more hardcore. I think that is where the transgender porn come in, because “regular porn” doesn’t cut it. Then the underage porn come into play, because of course, the other porn doesn’t cut it anymore. The animal porn well… see above. As you desensitize yourself, you are having to reach further for something to get you off. Barf.
Commentary by The Chief Continues
Folks, this is going to hurt, but it’s likely the truth. I made a comment about 90-day guy and his brother. The vibe that I get from their relationship is that he was sexually assaulted by his brother at a young age. Yep, go ahead and say I’m crazy, but he was very uncomfortable when his brother was around. He wanted to spend zero time even acknowledging his childhood existence. He apparently hates him, unless he is in the room. The act is obvious. He has been on the business end of a dick. He tries to justify transgender behavior which is normal for those who like same sex porn. His comments about very young girls are nothing but a chance to stay relevant.
Folks, if I saw a babe wearing a thong swimsuit at my gym, I admit I’d be looking. Clearly, she wants me to. Chief is 40, not dead! But under aged children NFW.
90-day guy fantasizing about seeking out young girls when he is older, gross. Hoping such a girl might really want to be with some dirty old man like him, twisted. Feeding said perversions from the internet while at work and simultaneously claiming he is a happily married man, simply beyond my vocabulary to describe.
I hope he figures out what to do with his computer, but man, be true to yourself.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Screenshot
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.
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.
Jack Dorsey
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.
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.
Jim Cooper
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.
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.
Clark Kelso
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.
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.
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.
Partial list of candidates
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.
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.
