UH... SHE'S IN LA-LA LAND AGAIN

2012-02-11T11:42:00.000-08:00

Hide your wallets, children and any other valuables: California Democrats are holding their annual convention here in San Diego this weekend. Pelosi was crowing last night about how she plans for Dems to take back the house and she'll again be speaker.... Chair John Burton who trashed me out of context in 2010 Gov. campaign runs the show.. aloing with the usual assortment of delegates straight out of the Star Wars cantina scene. Their theme is "Catch the Wave". That's the problem. I've been in this state for 35 years and the left wing tsunami has added higher taxes, more out of control regulations and loony laws galore. I'm staying and fighting the good fight, but we are indeed (and have been) already living as if we're in Obama's second term here. It ain't pretty. Lots of work to do, repealing, replacing, keeping folks from fleeing to more bottom-line and liberty-friendly states...

HE'S BACK IN THE HOT TUB

2012-02-07T12:27:00.000-08:00

For a while it seemed "journalists" smitten by President Obama (like Chris Matthews) were getting out of the hot tub and realizing they bought into some empty promises and more far-left ideology. Now some are back to the "feel the tingle" mode, as evidenced by Mr.Matthews' latest adoration... this time it's the Obama smile:

NO CLERGY AT GROUND ZERO...

2011-09-10T11:49:00.000-07:00

... but this cross is now part of the new Memorial. Despite efforts to remove God from the observance on Sunday, it is always clear that Devine power shines through, in spite of "politically correct" politicians. There will be plenty of prayer in the crowd... and across America.

NOTE: This is where the cross stood on the 5th anniversary in New York City. Now it's installed inside the new center.

REMEMBERING 9/11

2011-09-10T11:39:00.001-07:00

This flag flew over a firehouse next to Ground Zero on 9/11/01. The building was destroyed when the Twin Towers fell. I took this photo as it was flying again over a rebuilt station on the 5th anniversary of the attacks in New York.

JFK'S LEGACY BLOWN UP BY OBAMA?

HE DID THE RIGHT THING

2011-05-04T14:25:00.000-07:00

President Obama didn't go the way of Jimmy Carter (who mangled "Desert One"). The Prez showed leadership by OK'ing the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Now the political spinning begins, but that's part of the process. Bin Laden having eternity to think it over in hell is satisfying, yes. But the terrorists still want to win, so it's a "long slog" as Donald Rumsfeld has said.

BUDGET CUT HYSTERIA CONTINUES

2011-04-08T14:47:00.000-07:00

Schumer should know better, but here he is lapsing into his desperate version of Ted Kennedy's "Robert Bork's America" speech. The message: If you're a person of faith, pro-life, daring to question climate hype craziness... you're just ignorant. Talk about super-projection. Schumer and his buddies know the American people are waking up to the truth on many fronts. Cutting TAXPAYER funds to Planned Parenthoo won't cause the facilities to shut down. I just gives those of us who don't want our taxes killing babies a clearer conscience.

AS EGYPT GOES...

2011-01-29T15:33:00.001-08:00

...so goes the region. I'm not convinced that the uprising will end in a democracy. It's opportunity time for all the bad guys, too. Keep an eye on the Muslim Brotherhood (More background: Read A Mosque in Munich) and what they try to stir up among the masses. Some of this process reminds me of Carter mishandling the Shah of Iran, leading to the hostage incident and losing the country to the Islamic "republic". What President Obama does.. most importantly what and how he says things related to this.. could make all the difference. Our allies around the world are keenly interested to see how America reacts. If Egypt falls into more radical hands, who's next? Saudi Arabia... Pakistan... et al.

ARIZONA UPDATE

2011-01-08T14:35:00.000-08:00

After numerous sources (including some Federal insiders and even NPR) reported Rep. Giffords had died (which led to many of us in the media reporting the same thing at that point), she's not in "grave" and "very critical condition", thank God. Surgeon says he's "very optimistic". Time will tell. But what a horrible day... especially for the families of other who were killed. We'll see what we find out re: the suspect and his motivations.

I'll be a guest on Channel 6 TV tonight discussing this... 10PM on "San Diego 6 News"...

LORD HELP US

2011-01-08T11:30:00.000-08:00

The horrible attack in Tucson today (Rep Giffords and others dead) brings to mind these initial thoughts, as I noted on Facebook earlier:

"Watch this awful AZ shooting story carefully...terror-group related? And if they can somehow connect any shooter to conservatives and /or talk radio, Fox News inspiration....well then, it's time to put on your conspiracy thinking cap...very curious timing... Already saw a FB post by a So Cal news anchor who though it fair to point out the Congresswoman was "on Sarah Palin's target list". TARGET? Please."

This is murder, plain and simple. Media need to call it what is is, no matter who's responsible. Eager to hear more about the shooter, who reportedly "shouted something" before opening fire. Sure sounds like the usual terrorist plan... but let's face it: This is a form of terrorism, no matter what the source.

Praying for all who have been touched by this awful event...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2011-01-01T11:26:00.001-08:00

Now, let's get back to work. Let's pray the new U.S. House reps get smart and active very quickly. And let's stop calling lawmakers, well, "lawmakers". It only encourages them. Here in California the nitwits in Sacramento dump an avalanche of new laws on us every January 1st: http://lamesa.patch.com/articles/there-outta-be-a-law-californians-getting-725-new-ones-in-2011

They should resolve to do nothing unless it's directly connected to improving the business climate and job creation opportunities.

IN CASE IT'S TURDUCKEN DAY FOR YOU

2010-11-25T11:09:00.000-08:00

Our hard-working Technical Czar, Noah Dingley, is busy scaring his children with actual Turducken assembly today. He says he's using only "consenting" birds, who've all signed legal releases to give their all for the platter. I feel "full" just looking at these action shots. Obviously the main donor, the turkey, is held against his will ala the little people who strapped down Gulliver. (Serving suggestion: Have a sharp carving knife and an archaeologist standing by.)

He "understands" our frustration with the TSA techniques. He does? When, exactly, has he run through the screening devices in the last couple of years? Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter is spouting off about Fox News having "deliberately distorted" news. Hmmm. He's been deliberately thrashing America for years.
