I arrived Friday at the annual convention of the California Republican Assembly. My hopes for this group to become relevant to the political discourse in California suffered another setback when I came across a man about 30 years of age that was gathering signatures to qualify a ballot initiative.

Why Vote GOP in November?
It’s not a rhetorical question; I am actually being serious. What exactly is a good reason to vote for the Republicans this November? I mean if your Leo Naranjo and love being on your knees in front of Trump, or riding his Johnson, sure vote red. My blog isn’t about being a drone, I want…

This past weekend, we celebrated Christmas. It was the most enjoyable one I can recall in many years. My weekend started Friday afternoon by getting sent home early from work.

Normally I don’t get so personal on this blog but this time of the year, isn’t that—at least in part—what Christmas is about; preparing for Christ and what He is doing in your life? This last month or so I have been experiencing many changes in my life. First two friends have died rather unexpectedly.…
