Meuser: ReBrand California GOP Toward Voters Not Donors

By Stephen Frank on Dec 17, 2018 09:27 pm
Mark Meuser makes a great point.  The GOP is so interested in money, it prefers to support the issues of the donor class, rather than the voting class. “The aspects of the Republican message that best resonate with the people is the principles of liberty.

By Stephen Frank on Dec 17, 2018 09:21 pm
In California merely being a socialist/totalitarian is no longer good enough.  Unless you want a 100% income tax and a 100% Nanny State you are a right wing revisionist—like L.A.

USC Administrators must have gone to the Law School run by Vladimir Putin.  Could it be they are graduates of the Castro School of Law in Havana?  Obviously, they do not believe in honesty in investigations and prefer the gulag approach to “justice”. “The Court of Appeal for this district has held that a USC […]
