California Leading From Behind
California has given us three new truths about government. One, the higher that taxes rise, the worst state services become. Two, the worse a natural disaster hits, the more the state contributes to its havoc. And three, the more existential the problem, the more the state ignores it.
Obama Speaks
President Obama addressed the nation yesterday to offer his thoughts about the San Bernardino massacre. I ignored his nonsense then, but here's what he had to say: "At this stage, we do not yet know why this terrible event occurred... We don't know why they did it. ... We do not know their motivations... It is possible that this was terrorist-related, but we don't know. It's also possible that this was workplace-related." That comment borders on willful deception. The efforts of big media and left-wing apologists for radical Islam to dismiss what our own eyes and ears tell us is infuriating.
The Truth About Mass Shootings
Leftists use phony stats to perpetuate the BIG Lie about guns.
The 'Shame' of Prayer
Deranged leftists become openly hostile to praying for victims of evil.
Another Case of SJS?
In the aftermath of the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, which left 14 people dead and at least 20 wounded, the FBI, most of the media and local law enforcement are warning us not to jump to any conclusions. This could be work place violence, or perhaps someone offended the shooters, Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik.
California: A State of Death
Shortly after signing a bill allowing assisted suicide in California, Democratic Governor Jerry Brown signed another measure that forces pregnancy crisis centers to "offer information about affordable contraception, abortion and prenatal care." The information is to be displayed in the form of a sign tacked to the crisis center's door and must include a phone number to the nearest county services office where family free or low-cost family planning services can be obtained.
Can California Be Saved?
Crime is back up in California. Los Angeles reported a 20.6 percent increase in violent crimes over the first half of 2015 and nearly an 11 percent increase in property crimes. Last year, cash-strapped California taxpayers voted for Proposition 47, which so far has let thousands of convicted criminals go free from prison and back onto the streets. Now the state may have to relearn what lawbreakers often do when let out of jail early.

Gov. Brown vetoes a bill meant to save lives.
Houston Still Has a Problem
Houston Mayor Annise Parker (D) promised not to make homosexuality an issue in her administration. Instead, she's made it *the* issue — around which everything else revolves. As the leader of the fourth largest city in America, Parker jumped at the chance to use her power in support of her own personal LGBT agenda. An open lesbian, the mayor has tried to bypass the laws on marriage, declared Valentine's Day "Freedom to Marry Day," and forced through the most radical piece of special rights legislation the city has ever seen.
Assisted Cultural Suicide
Liberal logic: Suicide by gun is bad. Suicide by doctor is good.
Permission to Die
California Could Become the Fifth State to Misidentify Suicide as a Medical Treatment
School Days, School Days
When I first read that the San Francisco Board of Education voted unanimously to give 107 students high school diplomas, even though the students has not met the requirements for graduation, I naturally assumed it was a case of educrats bending the rules to boost graduation statistics. But when I looked at the situation more closely, the board's action was fair and made sense. The San Francisco board's vote was a response to the high-handed decision from the California Department of Education that suddenly canceled the required high school exit exam. Those 107 students from San Francisco International High arrived at the testing center only to find there was no test and no way to get their diploma, since state law requires passing the test before a diploma is issued.
Campus Sex: Soon a Thing of the Past?
Leftists caused a problem they're now solving poorly.
