As we get closer to midnight rumors are starting up that the solidarity and unity of purpose of Senate Republicans is starting to fray. I've checked into this fairly recently with a source and was assured that GOP Senators were still standing together against any piecemeal cuts that would undercut pressure for a comprehensive solution to take us to June 30 of next year.

We commend Senate Republicans for their resolve, and urge them to reject the false notion that voting for a $3 billion cut bill tonight will help anything.

Among the many victims of a fat and expensive state bureaucracy are those in need of government services. Thanks to the policies passed at the behest of these unions, everything costs more — including the delivery of services to those vulnerable members of our society.

During "times of plenty" — I guess there was plenty of money to go around. But now, when we are facing a massive shortfall of funding, the proverbial chickens are coming home to roost.

Anyways, now that you have endorsed a "Flash Rant" — enjoy another video courtesy of FlashReport/KillMedia… (If you watch all of the way to the end, you can see a… Read More

Former San Bernardino County Assistant Assessor Adam Aleman, a former Executive Director of the San Bernardino County GOP, has apparently entered into a plea agreement in his criminal case. He had been facing a boatload felony charges spurring from an investigation into the office of former Assessor Bill Postmus. According to this story in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Aleman has plead "no contest" to four felony counts, and had five others waived.
