California votes to allow non-citizens as jurors!
California invites just one more blow against American justice! By Doc Vega Being a former Californian I must truly hang my head in shame when I look at the out of control leftist government that has gripped one of the most beautiful states in America. For some reason, the likes of Senators Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer are allowed to get away with influencing radical legislation that robs us of our Constitutional rights. In doing so we are seeing two things. We are seeing a state ravaged by high taxes, unrealistic environmental regulations, and disastrous immigration policy. An ominous future awaits the American judicial system Look to the state of California as the future of the rest of America of this insane type of legislation persists. In addition to the [...]
Democrat Congresswomen: Climate Change causes Prostitution
Add this to your list of crazy things Democrats say, from asking to look for a photo of the Flag placed by Neil Armstrong on Mars to concern that overpopulation would capsize Guam, California Democrat Barbara Lee now says that climate change will cause women to sell their bodies. Climate change is causing glaciers to melt, heat waves to become more intense, species to become extinct and low-lying island nations like Tuvalu to disappear altogether. To this list of calamities, U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee has added another: Climate change could force more women to become prostitutes. That warning is contained in a resolution the California Democrat introduced in Congress on Friday. In House Concurrent Resolution 36, Rep. Lee and 11 co-sponsors note that warming temperatures could push as [...]
All Aboard the Crony Capitalism High Speed Train
Diane Feinstein’s husband lands high-speed rail contract Because, at nearly $35,000,000 per mile, they surely had to be the cheapest: All Aboard the Crony Capitalism High Speed Train (Media Credit: Michelle Malkin) Out of the entire universe of those who could have won the first phase construction contract for California’s high speed rail boondoggle, who would stand out as the last person who would win it if there were no political patronage. Put another way, who is the most likely person to win it if there is political patronage? Both questions have the same answer: Richard Blum, the husband of California senator Diane Feinstein. So, who won the contract? Blum, of course, as the principle owner of Tutor Perini, the lead firm in the three-firm consortium selected [...]
KEEP OUT BILL MAHER!
by Joe Keck Bill Maher said on Rachel Maddow's show, "I'm willing to pay my share, but yeah, it's ridiculous". He was speaking of the tax rates in California, the state where he currently resides. Excuse me? Is he really complaining about high taxes? Really? Is this the same comically challenged guy who said the rich make 80 percent of the wealth in this country? The same guy who analogized it with a little anecdote about a group of people ordering a pizza and "the first guy takes 80 slices"? Is that the same aggressively un-funny, geek-sized Bill Maher we've al known and shoved, screaming about taxes? He's hard to watch, not only because he's no Brad Pitt, but also because of his soliciting his audience with pauses and stares at the camera, in a pathetic plea for laughter at [...]
RNC Statement on Changes to Rules of the Republican Party
LOS ANGELES, CA—RNC Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement regarding rules of the Republican Party as voted on at the RNC Spring Meeting in Los Angeles, CA: “During the general session at the RNC Spring Meeting, the membership overwhelmingly voted to empower the state parties and grassroots in the selection of delegates,” said Chairman Reince Priebus. “We all agree the grassroots are the center of this party and are vital to winning elections. This change makes clear that the grassroots will pick their delegates and that presidential candidates can neither veto delegates nor unseat delegates. This was a win for both delegates and candidates by unifying our party behind this delegate allocation process.” Rule 16 as passed at convention resolved a [...]
Connection? Obama calls Cali AG ‘best-looking in USA, First Lady calls self ‘Single Mother’
What an interesting day in political foot in mouth from the White house. FLOUTS gave an interview to a CBS affiliate WCAX and said she was a, "Single Mother". President Obama flirtatiously called the California Attorney General the best looking in America. California Attorney General Kamala Harris did meet Obama at the Airport and it appears they were happy to see each other. It does seem like the Obama's go on separate vacations a bit more often than previous first families. We will be listening for a domestic at 1600 Pennsylvania. First lady Michelle Obama slipped up in a local TV interview Thursday and accidentally called herself a “single mother.” “Believe me, as a busy single mother– or, I shouldn’t say single, as a busy mother. Sometimes, you know, when [...]

SCOTUS: Gay Marriage Argument Analysis
SCOTUS: Gay Marriage Argument Analysis Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, in an unusually candid process of elimination of options in public, on Tuesday worked his way through the ways for dealing with California’s Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage and seemed strongly tempted to just take a pass. He appeared to be troubled about the Court entering “uncharted waters,” on the core issue of who may marry, but at the same time, he also did not look comfortable with any of the other, more limited options. So he openly wondered why the Court had agreed even to hear this case. Focusing on Kennedy, although that is often the closest one can come to anticipating outcomes on a divided Court, was an even more reliable approach this time given that the other eight Justices [...]
SCOTUS Takes up California’s ban on Same-Sex Marriage
At ten o’clock tomorrow morning, the Justices will hear one hour of oral arguments on the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 8, which amended that state’s constitution to prohibit same-sex marriages. The Court will then return on Wednesday morning to hear nearly two hours of arguments on the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage for federal laws and programs – including things like income taxes, estate taxes, and Social Security survivors’ benefits – as a union between a man and a woman only. Under any circumstances, the same-sex marriage cases would shine a spotlight squarely on the Court, but that spotlight will be even brighter given the recent coverage of the dramatic growth in public support for same-sex marriage, reflected not [...]
