Two rumors have been circulating lately about the process of drawing new lines for California districts for Congress, Senate and Assembly. First, one consultant on the short list of possible vendors to help the citizen’s commission draw the new lines is directly affiliated with the guy that drew the lines last time Jerry Brown was…

The Myth of the Antichrist
As I touched on in my last installment, the word “antichrist” never appears in the book of Revelation. Yep, it’s a doctrine to many folks but like most of the B.S. propagated by C.I. Scofield, it cannot be found in the actual text of the Bible. The Antichrist, of popular culture, is a composite of…

I had a talk with my father-in-law yesterday and this topic came up. The following happened to him. You get a call from your bank informing you that you are the victim of a fraudulent charge. The person on the phone has a caller ID stating that it’s your bank calling. They have your account…

Yep, 13 months after our first payment to him, attorney Mario has finally secured a court date for November 10th. Folks, this has been a long and slow process, but the trial is finally happening.

The US Supreme Court laid another stinky pile of manure today on its way out of town for summer vacation. To me this makes no legal sense. First they invalidated DOM (the federal Defense of Marriage Act) on the basis that states have the right to decide what their marriage laws should be. Then, in…

Yet another article on the threat to public safety by release of prisoners. Even I am surprised by number of bad guys already let loose on the public. The state has reduced its prison population by more than 46,000 inmates since 2006, with more than half the decrease due to a 2-year-old state law that…

Yesterday was the 69th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion at the beaches in Normandy France. It also happened to be the day of our month meeting of my local California Republican Assembly chapter. As President, I took the opportunity to remember the soldiers that participated in this assault; especially the 9,000 men that lost their…
