Mohammed Ali once said, “It ain’t bragging if you can back it up.” So, I’m gonna brag. I’ve got the best track record of political predictions anywhere on radio or TV. ..... Snip..... So, here’s my prediction for the California Governor’s Recall Election… Gavin Newsom will be recalled and Larry Elder will be the next Governor of California. Except it won’t matter. Because after all the massive Democrat vote fraud is factored in, Gavin Newsom will survive the recall and Larry Elder will lose. I think Larry’s great. I’ve been a fan of Larry Elder for decades. I started my...

Orange County, California is slowly making its way back to normal but Gov. Gavin Newsom's COVID-19 tyranny reigns supreme in Los Angeles County.Los Alamitos, Calif. — Orange County, California is slowly making its way back to normal but Gov. Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 tyranny reigns supreme in Los Angeles County. The campaign to unseat Newsom began last year as California constituents grew weary of government overreach, bureaucratic lockdowns, school closures, and restrictions on dining and shopping that were not rooted in science. After Newsom attended a maskless indoor dinner at an expensive restaurant in violation of his state’s own COVID-19 rules,...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), currently facing a recall election on September 14, wants the state’s taxpayers to spend $16.7 million on “cash assistance” and “other services” for Afghans who are resettled in California as part of President Joe Biden’s massive resettlement operation. In a statement, Newsom and Democrats in the state legislature asked that about $16.7 million in taxpayer money be redirected to aid Afghans resettled in California by the Biden administration. The Governor, with support from legislative leaders, is requesting $16.7 million in general funds, which will be used to provide cash assistance and other services for newly...

California Gubernatorial Candidate Larry Elder (R) said that he would replace US Senator Dianne Feinstein(D-CA) with a Republican if she couldn’t continue serving. Fox News reported: Larry Elder, a gubernatorial candidate in California’s Gavin Newsom recall election, said he would replace U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, with a Republican – if Elder becomes governor and Feinstein were to step down during his term. “God forbid Gov. Elder should replace Dianne Feinstein who nobody’s seen in weeks,” Elder told Mark Levin on his radio show Friday. “I’m told she has a worse mental condition than even Joe Biden. They’re afraid...

The latest round of national media pandemic messaging is targeted and intentional. The objective is fear… and the scale of the narrative pushed by the national media toward that effort is large. Conversely, the same media objective is to Alinsky those who would be a visible push-back against COVID fear, and that is why Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is being targeted. In the background of this effort is the California recall of Gavin Newsom. The governor and national allied media are working together to weaponize the fear of COVID as a closing message against the recall effort. Newsom’s latest commercials...

A crowd of several hundred people, many carrying American flags and holding signs that read, “No jabs for jobs” and “Stop the medical tyranny,” gathered near Santa Monica’s pier Sunday to push back against proposed COVID-19 vaccination mandates. Held in a park off a busy stretch of Ocean Avenue, the gathering — billed as a “worldwide rally for freedom” — appeared half political rally and half religious gathering. Organizers led the group in prayers and attendees milled at booths to learn about recall attempts of several Democrats, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascon. A...

A report has surfaced from the Torrance(California) Police Department that they arrested a man that was in possession of Xanax, a loaded fire arm, methamphetamines’, and thousands of ballots. According to reports a Torrance police officer was called to check up on a man that was passed out in his SUV at a 7/11 parking lot.

A woman has come forward to Politico claiming that conservative talk radio host Larry Elder, her former fiancé, showed her a loaded handgun during an argument during which, she said, he was high from smoking marijuana. Alexandra Datig, the former fiancee and longtime radio producer for California GOP gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder, says she broke off an 18-month engagement with the conservative talk show host in 2015 after he waved a gun at her while high on marijuana. Datig’s claim, which she regards as the culmination of a series of humiliating disputes that made her fearful for her safety and...

Valley Village, CA: 2 women caught on camera opening a mailbox and stealing stack of California Gov. recall election ballots.

VIDEOLarry Elder, who could be California's next governor if the recall election next month against Gavin Newsom is successful, was interviewed by the Sacramento Bee editorial board. One of the editors asked Elder a gotcha question about "The Big Lie." Elder took that question and completely turned the tables on it to the extent that it stunned the editor. The editor's reaction at the end will make you LOL!

Ah, the omnipresent poll. The media punditocracy is addicted to using polls to tell us what "the American people feel" (never think) about everything from a president's so-called approval rating, to how a candidate's chances stack up against others in a race, to our "feelings" about various policy and social issues. Although the public has absolutely no way to evaluate the vast majority of polls for accuracy, most of us simply accept them as incontrovertible indicators of truth. Why? The answer probably is because we're told that polls are "scientific" since they use statistical-type analysis, and most of us tend...

If anyone should learn from the recall election, it is voters. Just about the time we think state legislators have found a constructive lesson in California's recall election, they prove us wrong again. Take, for example, a recent display of petty tyranny. Petty tyrants, according to Carlos Castaneda, come in three subcategories: pinches tiranos, pinches tiranitos, and pinches tiranitos chiquititos (the teeny weeny kind). We'll leave it to you to judge the category befitting behavior in last week's special session. Members of both political parties qualify, as columnist Jill Stewart makes clear (on the Comment page). The Republicans started it...

When The Los Angeles Times published articles just days before the California recall election detailing reports of inappropriate sexual behavior by Arnold Schwarzenegger, its editor steadfastly defended the timing. "It is a paper's job to disclose anything it knows that bears on a candidate's fitness for office — before Election Day, not after," the editor, John Carroll, said. But Republicans on talk radio, the Internet and some cable television talk shows accused the newspaper of shilling for Gov. Gray Davis. And many voters agreed. "This is a Davis ploy — he's the king of dirty tricks," one Schwarzenegger voter said,...

In the wake of California's recall election, the temptation to draw far-reaching conclusions is strong. Despite 11th-hour allegations against Republican Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger, the final results were decisive. Schwarzenegger, a political novice and outsider, overcame accusations of sexual harassment, past drug use and alleged admiration for Adolf Hitler, and he did so while offering precious few specifics about what he will do as governor. He ducked all but the final debate among the major candidates, and he relied heavily on the so-called soft media, with appearances on Jay Leno's and Oprah Winfrey's shows. Does this mean that celebrities, immune from...

It occurs to me that discredited, disgraced, evicted politicians are pretty much one-trick ponies ... that trick being the selling granting of pardon's to imprisoned felons. I'm willing to out on a limb here and predict that Governor Gray Davis is a politican of such character. I've put together an online poll where you can vote for how many pardon's you think Gov. Davis will sell grant. See the following links to vote and/or to view results: Gray Davis Pardon Poll - Click here to VOTE Click here to VIEW RESULTS

I was going to write about the need for politics and government to be separated but after I read the first line I keeled over from the pain in my belly, as I was laughing too hard. Although the ultimate goal would be to have politicians campaign from their political parties and then disengage from the political arena after they were elected to office so they could better connect with their constituents and do the work they were elected to do without due influence of their political parties, this notion will always remain a pipedream. Politics is embedded into our...

Foolish talk by foolish men Once again Americans were treated to the likes of a Baghdad Bob as the Democrats own Transylvania Terry (alias: Terry McCullough) took to the microphones on the eve of the California Gubernatorial Recall election. As the votes were being tabulated to show a significant Republicans victory, Transylvania Terry was foolishly telling the world that, yes, it was neither Governor Gray nor the Democrats fault, but President Bush and the Republicans responsibility for anger being displayed. Just as Baghdad Bob’s foolish words were noted as the victory tanks rolled into Baghdad, this Democrat’s foolish words were...

CNBC cable television just reported that Arnold was confident based on his last internal tracking poll numbers showing double digit lead on pro-recall vote and Arnold over Bustamonkey. Those number are very reassuring, particularly based on report low turnout in San Francisco and in Los Angeles.

Unlike other politicians today and the media, who routinely refer to illegal immigrants as simply “immigrants,” California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger — who is favored to win Tuesday's recall election — actually calls them “illegal immigrants.” And unlike so many pols and scribes across the political spectrum, Schwarzenegger clearly declares, “Let me be clear: I do not support an amnesty program.” And unlike Democrat politicians, Schwarzenegger opposes issuing California drivers licenses to illegals. By contrast, on September 5, in a secret ceremony reserved for Hispanics and the Hispanic media, desperate, Democrat California Gov. Gray Davis signed SB60, giving illegals...
