Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Two news stories suggest that California Democrats have alienated major constituencies in that once lovely and now benighted state. In 2020, California’s population was 39,538,223 people. Two years later, it was estimated to have shrunk by .9%, leaving it at 39,185,605 people. That’s a significant trend for the nation’s most

My California upbringing shows that people will cling to ideas long after the facts reveal those ideas are flawed — a scary thought for the 2020 election. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, one of America’s bluest of blue regions; attended UC Berkeley, which once was the

With Dems revealing their unfiltered totalitarianism, and no Republicans on the California senate ballot, write in Travis Allen’s name for U.S. Senate. UPDATE: I’ve learned, to my dismay, that California disallows write-ins during the main election. Please go here for a different strategy in California. When Democrats successfully turned California

With the California Democrat Party having disavowed Dianne Feinstein, it’s time to shake things up with a Travis Allen write-in campaign for U.S. Senate. News broke today that Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat who has represented California in the United States Senate for 26 years, is no longer the darling of

Please help me select a California U.S. senatorial candidate who has a chance of showing up on the November ballot, so voters can hear conservative ideas. I’m starting to think about my votes for the upcoming June 5 open primary in California. I’ve got most of my votes nailed down,

In the battle for California governor, a surprisingly even-handed pro-Gavin Newsom flyer makes an incredibly strong case for voting for Republican John Cox. In an ideal world, on June 5, when California voters go to the polls, members of the various political parties would have a chance to select which

This “joke” email about California is so accurate that it manages, in fewer than 300 words, to skewer everything crazy about what was once a golden state. I did not write the following clever list. Instead, I got it in an email. I share it with you not just because

It’s no coincidence that crime is on the rise in California. A fish rots from the head and, when it comes to lawlessness, California is rotten from the top down. I don’t know whether you are aware, but there is an epidemic of car thefts and break-ins taking place in

Travis Allen, an intelligent, truly conservative happy warrior has what it takes to put a Republican in the California governor’s office. I attended a luncheon today at which Travis Allen spoke. He is running for California governor. I’ve been to many luncheons over the years at which Republican men and

The California travel ban against US states for claimed anti-LGBTQ laws follows its attack on the travel stay for Islamic countries that routinely kill gays. In January and then again in March 2017, President Trump issued a temporary travel ban aimed at six countries that the Obama administration identified as

On July 1, California gun owners may no longer possess high capacity standard magazines. Learn here what you need to know about the ban. A friend just forwarded me a notice from Gun Owners of California informing California gun owners that, within two weeks, any high-capacity standard magazines they possess are

Thanks to my friends, I have an email box filled with links to fascinating, random politics. In keeping with that random spirit, I present to you this randomly organized post: Principled journalism versus American journalism. Conservatives have been understandably charmed by the meltdown that Kurt Eichenwald, a Newsweak reporter suffered,

I hate open primaries. In a post a few years ago, I explained why, and I’ll repeat myself here: The point of the primary system is to give citizens who are members of a specific political party the opportunity to pick that candidate who best represents their views. Then, in

The miserable sexism of Hillary’s supporters. I’ve agreed with myself to disagree with Jonah Goldberg about Donald Trump, while still greatly respecting and deeply appreciating Goldberg’s take on just about everything else. In the wake of Hillary’s 9/11 collapse, followed by her dehydration, followed by the media castigating as sexist

True confession: I didn’t watch the convention last night. Mr. Bookworm, whose politics don’t align with mine, got to the TV first. I did read about it, however, and I came away with the impression that it was a blessing that so many turncoat GOP operatives stayed away. Frankly, operatives
