  • [The Republican Party is somewhere between somnambulant and dead in the national public forum; and especially so in local politics as confirmed in the pages of The Union.  If our newspaper is any indication, one can readily witness the absence of conservative op-ed voices while the local progressives cum socialists enthusiastically populate those pages with…

  • [Given the Iran regime’s record over the last decades coupled with America’s demands to resolve the current conflict and put Iran on the path to peaceful and productive membership in the community of nations, what possible points are there left to resolve through negotiations?  Can anyone name just one point that we now consider needs…

  • [Of the over 250K illegal aliens on CA, NJ, NV, PA voter rolls, DHS reports nearly 200K of them are on California voter rolls. (H/T to reader)  It would boggle the mind to deny that thousands of these people vote in our elections when there are no ID requirements to vote in the large blue…

  • [As repeatedly predicted in these pages, you don’t seek win-win agreements with tyrants who only understand zero sum (win-lose) relationships.  The proper tactic for bringing Iran’s mullahs to heel is to keep up a systematic sequence of destroying their infrastructure – transportation, communications, power grid, and finally energy – while the negotiations are ongoing.  Therefore…

  • [Several polls have recently come out confirming President Reagan’s famous quote, “The nine most frightful words in the English language are, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help”. The more famous corollary to that quote is his, “The government is not the solution to our problem, the government is the problem.” The poll…

  • [Climate hysteria is subsiding almost everywhere across the world, save California where the double dummies are fully in charge of continuing to wreak maximum damage on the state’s citizens.  Most nations agree that the data so far is insufficient to support predictions of an imminent climate catastrophe, and the hysterical responses over the last decades…

  • [Was glad to see that our government can still put on a respectable pomp and circumstance for King Charles. On cue the Dems made assholes of themselves with their iconical petty criticisms. I wondered what they called each other when they retired for their one-on-one meeting – was it ‘Chuck’ and ‘Don’? Can’t imagine their…

  • [From the 14apr26 WSJ – “When government rewards failure, the result is usually more failure. That’s been the story in Los Angeles, where the teachers unions on Sunday secured a rich new contract, notwithstanding lousy student performance and declining enrollment.”  For example – “Only 18% of Los Angeles eighth-graders scored proficient in math on the…

  • [Governor Newsom’s empire of fraud.  From the California Post,  “The best estimates suggest that, on the governors’s watch [since 2018], fraudsters, scammers, and organized crime rings have stolen at least $180 billion from taxpayers.” https://nypost.com/2026/04/01/opinion/gavin-newsoms-empire-of-fraud/  California is home to the largest and most proficient collection of Democrat scumbags in the Union.  gjr]

  • [Our liberal readers who only get told a highly biased half of the news never encountered any statements by the Democratic leadership vowing to fundamentally transform America from a constitutional republic to something like a Marxist socialist democracy coded as a ‘progressive society’.  In doing elementary research we can start with Obama’s 30oct08 campaign rally…
