Longtime FR friend Andrew Pugno, from the Yes on Prop. 8 Committee, just notified us that the California Supreme Court has indicated that they will announce their ruling on the case before them – filed by opponents of the measure, to attempt to have it overturned — this coming Tuesday at 10 a.m.… Read More

Welcome to the second part of our two-part feature on the FlashReport “Winners & Losers of the May 19 Special Election.” Yesterday we presented the winners. Today we introduce to you the losers – those people or groups who, from our perspective, suffered in their stature, standing and reputation as a result of the outcome of Tuesday’s vote.

It’s always more challenging to call out losers than winners, and occasionally (but not usually) someone takes it personally. We understand if you do — but to you we’d say, suck it up. This whole stupid special election didn’t need to happen, but it did, and you tried to raise my taxes, and failed. So, losers, in no particular order, take your shame…… Read More

California Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher does an outstanding job of taking on leftist Congressman Jim Moran over the issue of global warming on the Chris Matthews’ Hardball show on MSNBC. But he does and even better job of taking on Matthews! it’s worth watching… (h/t to Andy at CfG)

The 11th district’s congressman, Jerry McNerney has raised serious questions today about his commitment to renewable energy and his ethics with his vote against an amendment to include more clean energy sources… Read More

Well, the human face of the purported recall of Assemblyman Jeff Miller has finally been revealed to the public. It’s an interesting young man, accented not only by a bare-shouldered party dress, but also complete with carefully applied lipstick, mascara and eye liner. That all of these quality accessories and cosmetics are adorning the face of a man may strike some as unusual, but no matter your views on people who dress in drag, all of this only contributes to the further absurdity of a shameful farce.

Blaine Jenks is 22 years old, a recent graduate of Orange County’s Vanguard University and still lists his mother’s home as his address. But rather than inquiring if he/she should move out of mom’s place, let’s focus on the actual address for a moment. Blaine’s voter registration card still lists his mom’s Placentia address as his home. And for those outside of Orange County, Placentia is well outside the lines of the 71st Assembly District.… Read More

Over the next two days, we will be presenting to FlashReport readers our “Winners & Losers of the May 19 Special Election” feature… Today we will be presenting the winners – those people or groups who, from our perspective, increased their stature, standing and reputation as a result of the outcome of yesterday’s vote. Let me say that you will not find on the list below any of the labor groups (and there were some) who opposed Proposition 1A. Our position is that, given the ineffectiveness of the alleged “spending cap” in 1A, these groups have actually done themselves harm – though we are okay with that.

So, without further commentary, and in no particular order, our Winners…
