One of the best lines in the movie Gladiator is at the beginning when Russel Crow, playing General Maximus, is about to release the full might of his Roman troops on a bunch of barbarians. “At my signal, unleash hell.” Today, a bishop in the Catholic Church, did something similar. He pronounced that he was…

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…

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.

This photo is from a make-shift memorial created after the terror attacks on September 11, 2001 near Dunsmuir, CA. This email was circulated in the wake of the 9-11 attacks. What a difference a Day makes…. On Monday we emailed jokes. On Tuesday we did not. On Monday we thought that we were secure. On…

Many media stories this week have reported that HP is planning to sell their PC division. Their excuse is that sales are sluggish and the computer division has a low profit margin. This is not the real reason. Clearly their bean-counters realize that Obama-care and promises of higher taxes will kill the PC division so…

The California Republican Party is going through the process of looking at the Party Platform. This ritual—which occurs every four years—has seen a marked change from previous meetings of the Platform Committee. This year, the “moderates” briefly succeeded in stripping all references to social issues from the platform. Some were subsequently re-inserted in generic ways…
