Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I grew up entirely surrounded by Asians. I think I had one friend who was Jewish. The rest were Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Filipino. They all came from homes that had exactly the same values: marriage, education, hard work, and self-reliance were the family watch words. Those are still
Continue readingI was in high school during the last major California drought. I found it a very traumatic experience. Thankfully, we didn’t end up with a Dust Bowl, and we didn’t have mass starvation of the type one periodically sees in Africa. Nevertheless, I couldn’t shake the feeling that things could
Continue readingNot only is it a good video, but it was amusing to see that the YouTube ad attached to this video was an Organizing For America (Obama’s PAC) commercial promoting gun control:
Continue readingOne of my friends posted a great chart on Facebook: And then I remembered a post at The City Square which explains how California ended up at the bottom of that chart. Incidentally, if you’re interested in more California lunacy (and remember, as California goes so has gone the nation),
Continue readingThe State is too far gone for it to matter, especially because we’ve got Jerry Brown as governor, but it is worth noting that there’s been a slight, ever-so-slight, downgrade in Democrat power here in California: The sudden resignation Friday of a state senator from Kern County robs Democrats of
Continue readingThe San Francisco Chronicle has an article that both praises Governor Jerry Brown’s “balanced” budget and notes that California is in desperate financial shape. Clearly, the Chron is lowering expectations in case Brown’s “balanced” budget doesn’t do what it promised. The Chron is wise to keep its readers from getting
Continue readingThe State Bar of California, which I have to pay into in order to practice law in the State of California, long-ago abandoned its core responsibility of ensuring that people who hold themselves out as lawyers to California citizens are at least minimally qualified. As with all these mandatory organizations,
Continue readingI wrote a few days ago about the fact that the State of California Department of Education has gone after the Kentfield School District in Marin County, because the District’s food program relies on PTA volunteers, rather than on paid union members. Our local paper has an update on the
Continue readingThe headline in the San Francisco Chronicle was simple: “FBI: 4 Calif. men charged in alleged terror plot.” California men, huh? Did they have names like Big Kahuna and look like this? “Yo, dude, I’m like going to, you know, like, attack the man. It’ll be, like, totally tubular.” No?

Continue reading(You can read more about Emken here, or at her own website.) As usual, Dianne Feinstein is nowhere to be seen when there is hard work to be done, so Elizabeth Emken went ahead and had the debate without her: The fact that DiFi is a no-show has nothing to
Continue readingA few months ago, I though Elizabeth Emken’s chance of unseating Dianne Feinstein in the Senate was about equal to the Giant’s chance of winning the World Series. I was not optimistic. Today, I believe that both are possible and, indeed, probable. I’ll leave the baseball talk to others, and
Continue readingLaer, author of the fabulous Crazifornia: Tales from the Tarnished State – How California is Destroying Itself and Why it Matters to America, has posted a California voter’s guide at the website’s a companion to his book. Unlike all other voter guides, it’s not only informative (and, indeed, it’s more
Continue readingMy computer is in its death throes, so I have a new one on order. I just get the confirmation from Dell, and it contained this interesting little notice: For shipments to California, a state environmental fee up to $10 per item will be added to invoices for all orders
Continue readingI thought I’d share with you some of the things my friends have posted on Facebook. First, a cartoon that’s obviously meant to support the Progressive open border policy, but that just as obviously proves the opposite: I understand that you’re supposed to read the cartoon to mean that, without
