‘New Way California:’ Wrong Way, Deceptive Way

  An odd group of Never-Trump Republican centrists and political has-beens who formed "New Way California" earlier this year, claim New Way is needed because they are “committed to policies that increase opportunities for all Californians.” What they are committed to is remaining in power, even if that means being subservient to the Democrat Party …

California Blue Wave: Will it Lead to Insolvency Faster?

The midterm elections have turned out as most observers expected, nationally, statewide, and in Sacramento. By historical standards, nationally, the Democrats underperformed and lost a number of high-profile races. There was no Blue Wave - more like a blue ripple. However, California is another story, remaining as blue as can be. In the contest for …

Sacramento’s Measure U Tax Increase is a Slush Fund For Greedy Politicians

Sacramento voters are once again faced with tax increases on the November ballot because Mayor Darrell Steinberg and most of the members of City Council can't or won't be honest about their gross spending and particular taste for other people's money. So here we are again, solving Sacramento's latest budget/spending crisis with hefty tax increases. …

Sen. Joel Anderson Victimized by Media Collusion, #MeToo, Senate Democrats

California State Sen. Joel Anderson, R-El Cajon, was accused in late August by Stephanie Roberson, a female lobbyist for the California Nurses Association labor union, of threatening to “bitch slap” her and harassing her at a Sacramento Capitol-area bar.

The Fractured Fairy Tale of Stephon Clark

There was a time not long ago when a personal history mattered; past actions were considered in job offers and in criminal prosecutions. But the liberal left now considers past actions immaterial and irrelevant. Consider the family of Stephon Clark, the 22-year old black male shot to death by two Sacramento police officers in March after …

Shameless CA Legislators Pass Bill To Allow Them To Live Outside Their Districts

Just as the 2018 legislative session was winding down last week, California lawmakers sent Gov. Jerry Brown a bill that would allow them to live outside the districts in which they were elected and ostensibly represent. What's next? Mayors who don't have to live in the cities in which they were elected? City council members who …

Conspiracy of Silence in Sacramento Catholic Diocese

The conspiracy of silence in the Catholic Church over scandals involving sex, homosexuality, cover-ups, payouts, betrayal, and corruption have left many Catholics disillusioned and even angry. Corruption wears many disguises, including liturgical garments. There is a cancer in the Catholic Church that needs to be eradicated. The cancer is not Catholicism, rather it is about …

John Cox Takes On California’s ‘Out-of-Touch Elites’

California Gubernatorial candidate John Cox has a message for California voters: "Help is on the way." If you ask Cox what he's talking about, you'll get a very clear answer: "Once the land of promise and opportunity, California today is on the brink of financial insolvency, thanks to the failed policies of the Jerry Brown …

Holy Sacramento Sacrilege!

By Andy Caldwell One of the sure indications we live in a banana republic has to do with the fact that the rules do not apply to the rule makers!  Two recent stories and another classic Ross Mayfield cartoon (see below) illustrate this point. Our legislators in Sacramento are world-famous hypocrites.  A couple of years …

CA Dems Paint Rosy Picture of Failing California

  The future of California is not looking as rosy as the state's Democrat Party politicians want us to believe. Whenever challenged on the stability of his economy, Gov. Jerry Brown's knee-jerk retort is, "California is the fifth largest economy on the planet," as if the size of the economy in the most populous state in the …
