NeverTrumpers Are Wrong: A Blue State Conservative's Take

The United States is a great country. For too many Americans, though, they are not feeling it: sluggish economy, rampant terrorist attacks, defeated morale, both here and abroad. Corrosive, subversive scandals have engulfed the Obama administration (IRS, DOJ, Fast and Furious). Special interests are gaming the system in an unprecedented, disturbing fashion. Look what happened to Bernie Sanders during the Democratic Primary. The DNC (with disgraced Chairman Debbie Wasserman-Schulz) was actively—illegally!—colluding to ensure a Hillary Clinton coronation.

Why the People Are Frustrated About Politics ... But Shouldn't Be!

Politics is about people. Not your elected officials. Not the unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats. But you and me! The root of the word has a long, storied history:

Bernie Sanders' Immoral Economy

As I was reading last Sunday's front page cover of the Torrance, CA, The Daily Breeze, I found the same anti-capitalist canard which has propelled demagogues and statists from generation to generation.

How to Fight for Individual Liberty--Better

The Missouri state legislature was very close to putting on the statewide ballot an up-or-down vote for the citizens, whether to protect freedom of conscience for all Missourians,

Thoughts on the American Freedom Alliance

Two years in a row, I have been invited to the American Freedom Alliance dinner in Los Angeles. This celebratory event recognizes men and women who have fought for the furtherance and survival of Western Civilization, individual worth and local sovereignty, the pursuit of truth as paramount instead of power, and the respect for the Divine Creator and His objective justice: these values animate the life and worth of the entire world, and the manifold blessings of Western Civilization.

I Want a #TrumpSandersDebate

California is a battleground state once again. Normally, Golden State gawkers watch the presidential primaries rap up one month prior, while presumptive nominees work over Hollywood (Democrats) or Orange County (Republicans) for general election campaign cash.

California Assemblywoman Rejects My Law Proposal, Endorses Lawlessness

Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia (D-Downey, CA) issued out a proposal to invite her constituents to suggest a new law. One would think that she would entertain any legal suggestion which protects law-abiding citizens and their status of citizenship. Downey, California is one of the best-run cities in California.

Act As Big as You Really Are, Republicans!

The Republican Party, whether nationally or in the several states, is actually in the strongest state it has ever been in years. Yes, the Presidential contest is contentious, and the lingering fears of the unknown cloud the consultant and political classes about the future of this country.

And Yet ... Why Don't they Believe Ted Cruz?

This is not a Messianic cry of frustration or despair. The above question is a quaint reaction to the non-stop rejection of conservative Trump supporters for Ted Cruz.

California’s Conservative Youth Shining Bright
