You’d figure that the Sheriff of Riverside County would be a lock for the Republican nod for Governor. I mean, 2.4 Million people and national headlines for kicking Newsolini in the nuts over COVID BS. That’s right, when Newsolini wanted to throw pastors in prison for holding services, Bianco said we aren’t enforcing that dictatorial edict that is not an actual state law. (hint several court cases tossed actual laws like that)
The CAGOP has a convention this weekend where the delegates will be deciding who to endorse for Governor.
Steve Hilton is a Johnny-come-lately guy who has a following because he was on some talk show saying stuff people wanted to hear. But anyone that looks at his history can find plenty of the above type of photos of Hilton. Hilton was a political advisor to the British Tory party when they raised taxes, opened the borders, expanded the welfare state and arrested people for hate speech.
Basically the Islamic takeover of England we are seeing happen today where rape victims are jailed for trashing the (mostly muslim) rapists, others being arrested for facebook posts, exploding muslim populations (many draining the social welfare system in addition), mass efforts to legalize all of them so they will vote to keep the despotic Kier Starmer in power had it’s genesis under the Tory Party of Steve Hilton / David Cameron. Cameron resigned in disgrace as prime minister after calling a snap election and getting hammered… I wonder whose brilliant advice caused that?
The California Islamo-Commie Party released a survey showing Hilton and Sheriff Chad Bianco running 1-2 in the California open primary system. This means that you could have a Republican governor in California for the first time since Prop 14 passed. Why? Because California’s election system is a blanket primary where the top two finishers in the primary go on to the general election – why democrats have had so many Dem vs Dem general elections. The only way a Republican gets elected governor is with an R vs R runoff. The dems have a 21 point registration advantage.
Senator Brian Dahle was the best Republican performer for governor, getting just over 41% of the vote. a 5-4 inch tall 135 pounds-sopping-wet diminutive dude who sounds like monty python ain’t gonna out perform a rough and tumble rancher from the N/E desert of CA. (OR a Sheriff from the S/E Desert of CA for that matter)
So why did Trump endorse this disaster? Friendship? Maybe. Consultants in common? A lot of people with their fingers in the Hilton crew are also mobbed up with the Donald nationally. Or, according to the DNC Mouthpiece known as politico:
The White House had come around to the conclusion that it was unlikely two Republicans would get the top spots in a California election, the person said, or that a Republican could ultimately land in the governor’s mansion — but that Trump’s seal of approval would at least ensure one of them made the runoff, driving turnout for a proposed voter ID initiative in the state and improving its odds of passage.
None of these people – including Sheriff Chad Bianco’s own current campaign team know him like I do. In 2018, the Right on Daily blog played a major and central role in electing Chad Bianco Sheriff of Riverside County.
Chad Bianco had been transferred to one of the worst if not the worst possible command in the Riverside Sheriff’s Office, and was also sequestered in the building being specifically and strictly forbidden from working in the field by the former Sheriff Stan Sniff. Most people would have quit, or “lateralled” to another department. Not Bianco, he followed up on his 2014 Campaign against Sniff by developing a support base and getting others to see the corruption of the Sniff administration.
By 2018, Chad Bianco blew out Stan Sniff and became the first Lieutenant ever elected Sheriff in California History. Today, Bianco has the endorsement of damn near every Sheriff in California too, so you know what his peers think of him.

Ah yes the (p)Uken report, a left-wing blog started in response to Right on Daily. Good times!
And right here on this blog 8 years ago, we chronicled how Chad Bianco was attacked repeatedly for being a conservative. No wonder why the CRA endorsed Bianco.
I made a decision a while ago I was going to stay out of the governor’s race. Too many friends on both sides of the fight. I have not communicated much with Bianco since he was elected Sheriff, as lives diverge. I was not asked for help or to be a part of his campaign. I’ve had plenty of other stuff on my plate.
But today, I feel compelled to endorse Chad Bianco for Governor because he is the best we have. And given the machinations and insider politics + the political calculation behind the recent news of the last 36 hours – consistent with my pattern of rebelling against insider politics. Here we are.
Regardless of the calculations – a 5’4″ tall 135 Pound sopping wet talk show host versus a cross-fit practicing badass sheriff is one of the easiest choices anyone could make. Unless of course you are a Republican insider, then screwing up is institutionalized.
For those of you going to the CAGOP convention that were Chad Bianco supporters 36 hours ago – stay the course and don’t let Washington DC insiders and their crazed minions sway you. Chad Bianco was and is the best choice for governor out of the Republican field period. Don’t reward the insiders, reward California with a good solid candidate we can be proud of in November.

Now we know why that blog entry about CA GOP endorsements went missing…
Brian Dahle should have fought harder. He is weak. The time was right during the Covid era and the recall era and he chose the easy way out. Shame on us for backing such a weak candidate. That recall election was dirty and everyone knew it-even Dahle, and he chose to concede. Weak.
And does anyone else find it statistically odd that Newsom got the same vote share in the recall that he got in his election? How? He was less popular during COVID and the recall.
How tall is the blogger? And his weight? Probably a much larger BMI than Hilton and a direct predictor of mental and physical well being. Shame on you blogger for harping on someone’s height and weight. What’s next? He’s bald? Wears bad suits? Talks funny? It seems Hilton is the antithesis of Newsom…
If we want to change California then we need Trump’s help. We have proven that we are incapable of getting rid of corruption on our own. Admit it. We need help and Bianco (as much as I like him as a sheriff) can’t provide it any more than Dahle could. That ballot grab was timed pretty good though…
And why no mention of the poison pill of taking a knee with protesters in 2020? Many still hold that as a deal breaker. I don’t, but MANY do.
Melody – my readers are dumber from having to read your comments.
Aaron (Park) some of your rambling in this report are below you….and you know it. Be-that-as-it-may, this election will be interesting as Hilton has Trumps endorsement and Bianco might get the endorsement of the CRP at the Convention this weekend. Maybe, we will still have two Republican’s as the top two in the General Election. Hilton leads slightly in most polls, and if you look at the numbers, Hilton draws well with Independents and Cross Overs which we have to have to win in the fall. However, if Bianco doesn’t get the CRP endorsement, it’s pretty much likely going to be Hilton against a TBD Democrat.
Charles, I am smarter from having read your comment.
Blogger’s Note: 3 IQ points above the sidewalk is a low bar.
`1-6 April Poll. Binder Research: Steve Hilton 22%, Eric Swalwell 18%, Chad Bianco 13%, Tom Steyer 12%. Other candidates’ single figures. Less than 3 weeks before ballots hit the mail……
Swallwell would be a GREAT choice for Democrats back.
I am aware Trump was not President in 2021 or 2022, but Brian Dahle never received his endorsement or even a mention by name from Trump. Why not?
MAGA folks leaving Bianco to support Hilton after Trump endorsement MIGHT not be all bad for Republicans. Bianco’s base gets pruned substantially, but pruning leads to increased vigor and new growth. Maybe the Hilton endorsement strengthened BOTH campaigns?
If it turns out to be Swallowswell vs. Hilton that is still OK as the real dirt on E-Rok has not even begun to reach the public yet (same with Newsom). Wonder why blogger is holding off on the hit piece on Swallowswell? Or is it too early?
Melody…how long have you read this blog?….No one is paying Park to hammer Swalwell yet…lol
Six or so years. Why do you ask?
Looks like Dems got wise and dumped Swallowswell. I’m in shock!
But who do they back now? No, really, who do they back now? It’s more of a clown show than ever before. Prove me wrong. Suggest a winner.
And all those previous polls….Poof! Meaningless. Like they always are. Money soent for nothing. Political analysts, activists, and paid shills love polls BTW. Lets them have an opinion and appearance of having knowledge without having to exercise any discernment or intelligent thinking.
WHO will be the first organization to publish a post-Swallowswell poll? I think you know who that will be. But now who do Dem voters support? Steyer has a cursed attachment, and the rest are just there. What will the Dem voters in CA do? It’s getting close to closing time. I can imagine the CA Sec of State and CA Attorney General are working a lot of overtime these days. They have to “deliver”.
BTW, who is Newsom endorsing? I already know the answer, but it is the dog not barking-and he likes to wave hands and bark until he’s hoarse. Not sure how citizens fall for his act, but many (women) do.
Remember, if there are any federal election issues on the ballot, then the recent Executive Order regarding issuance of ballots to those not entitled to legally vote applies. They have ALL been warned. There will be some who chance it though. I hope each County AG is keeping an eye on their “employees”. Oh wait, County AGs only investigate when the Sheriff refers a matter to them. R8ght? A Sheriff? Involved in elections? Weird.
Enjoy the show people, it’s gonna get fun.
KNOWINGLY.
Like, they all knowingly lied about COVID in CA. Knowingly. Oh, and fraud vitiates everything.
My view, having just come home from the Convention, is Team Bianco put in ‘Max Effort’ and failed….I really thought Bianco might get is with all the ruckus they made, but in the end either Bianco or Hilton got the endorsement. The two wild cards now are Trump endorsed Hilton and Hilton is both polling better with the independents and starting to pull away in the polls. But our best hope was that both will top two.
Now that Swalwell is both out of Congress and out of the race…Gawd only knows what the Democrats are up too.
And Arron Park, on my IQ… I am so stupid I will sing the old Marine Corps Chant….”Squidly …Squidly,…Don’t be blue….The Army and Air Force and F’ed up too”….. Semper Fi!
After the debate the other night, it is obvious Bianco and Hilton are the only choices for governor that make any sense. Bianco looked and sounded very strong and competent. Democrat candidates are officially out of touch and continue to push talking points about race and Trump etc. They are so weak and neutered now. Only vote fraud could ensure a Democrat makes it out of the primary. BTW, how’s compliance with Trump’s Executive Order going Bryan?
Porter, Steyer (not electable), and the token Hispanic were awful. It really is a three person race at this point. Porter is a poor excuse of a candidate for anything except Head of an HR Department.
Kudos to Bianco for pointing out that Californians are tired of race issues. At least the kind of race issues that divide us.
Wow.
Some people. Interesting.
Congrats Aaron, on this posting. Funny, to say the least.
The GOP San Diego Convention…………for me? The establishment had decided: the corrupt sheriff was going to get their endorsement.
Then, 4 APRIL 2026. Saturday, hilton begging Trump for an endorsement. 5th April, he got it. 6th April, he goes nuts with it. Except, ol Carl Demaio says, nothing. BIG TIME hilton surrogate….not a peep, not a sound, no appearance nor congratulations. Cause THIS is California…..and that endorsement, was a death knell.
Hilton, now armed with the POTUS paper!! Goes on a tear and flaunts his chit. Suddenly, the upcoming GOP convention, is tossed into a choatic choice:
EFF Trump, and endorse bianco?
Stand with Trump, and lose upwards of 25% of the voting base.
Hilton, either too stupid to get it, or so dumb he doesn’t get it…………pins the hopes of POTUS passing him by the State GOP. YEEEEE HAAAAWWWW!!!! LET”S ROCK!!!
Alas, certain comments were made, as printed above. Delegates, contacted…….Mark Wright had stated this waaaaay earlier:
“Neither bianco nor hilton were chosen to win? They were picked to raise money for Central Committees.”
I’m quiet sure YOU KNOW, who Mr. Mark Wright, Chairman of Placer County Central Committee is.
Deny the comment? It’s on the “X” Platform, caught up in a Forum for Mr. Mercuri.
The vote made: nearly 400 DELGATES did not attend. Suddenly, instead of 908 delegates needed? The numbers plunged downward to nearly 608 for an endorsement. Mistake, or calculation? WERE the bianco crowd, behind the reduction? We’ll never know.
Neither got 60%. Neither got within 2% to do a run off. WAS it a clean vote? Or did people vote OPPOSITE just to pooch numbers? We’ll never know.
In 1 hour, bianco thanked his supporters. Near being humble. Dissappointed perhaps? seemed like it. Expected win, snatched away. This is now the 5th time, bianco kicked to the curb, by the State GOP.
1) For Mel Gibson
2) for James Woods
3) for Steve Hliton
4) By POTUS
5) By the State GOP Endorsement delegation
Hliton?? Idiot that he is, 2 hours laters, dismisses the whole affair, with a moronic statement:
“Now let’s get behind the real leader and the ONLY endorsement that matters, the POTUS one!”
Moron. Why bother to show up for the GOP Endorsement, if it didn’t matter? A-hole on steriods.
“X” platform noise makers, like mike netter, kira davis types….bought and paid for shrills, didn’t do it. Couldn’t do it.
Certain Delgates stated: I’ll never vote for a Brit. Others simply stated:
” I dislike being told, WHO I can vote for from the GOP….and only TWO candidate? Why?”
Yea……….folks weren’t happy. Too bad.
As for Dahle?? He was NOT as impressive as Aaron tries to sell it. Dahle got 48% of the vote, if you don’t understand math.
In reality, GINO Gavin got 24% of TOTAL eligible voters. Dahle? The termed out senator looking for a job? The not so impressive Republican “stuck” up against GINO Gavin? barely got 16% of eligible Voters to cast for him.
51% of the voting PUBLIC, didn’t care enough too vote for anyone or anything.
I know, It’s part of my campaign.
When we HAD the chance? The GOP standards bearers, nay sayers, idiots who THINK they know it all, and dont’ know jack diddly, scoffed at the notion WE the Republican party, could win this state. I know. I was a LARGE voice saying, we could!! Saying, we could get TWO into the top two!! While people such as Charlie and his ‘holier than thou I’ve been at this forever” self, scoffed. He knows. How to lose, is about it. No energy, no courage, nothing.
Senator Tony Strickland, said it best:
” I don’t care about Hilton’s abortion stance. I’m against abortion. I’m only voting for him cause he’s on FOX news.”
Seriously? We don’t need Voter ID……………..we need VOTER IQ tests.
Hilton, is a charlatan. Fraud. Waste of time as a candidate. He’s trying to BUY his way in. A Socialist who’s been running with, a Socialist candidate for Treasurer, now pretending to be a Nationalist: David Serpa. Hilton’s for Abortion…..the GOP needs to change it’s platform. Hilton is FOR California Declaring bankruptcy. If you were NOT there in Yorba Linda Pat Nixon Women’s forum? Then you didn’t see me tear apart Mr. Hilton nor hear his comments. For the uneducated? It’s on you tube, if you dare to watch. Hilton wants to overturn Prop-13. He’s NOT Pro 2A rights….he’ll move Illegals from MEDI-CAL into MEDICAID…..same game, for the same people. He’s running a GOLDEN SHOWER, not a golden ticket. Romero is a DEMO Plant, and being pushed off as a Republican savior? That lady is 70 years DEMO minded, up to 15 weeks ABORTION IS AN OK THING, and one of the main reason we have soft on crime laws on the books.
Bianco? Coward with a badge. If you were NOT at the Danville California Mt Diablo Republican Forum, you missed me tearing him apart on stage as well.
Bianco………anmesty for illegals OK………now, pathways to citzenship OK, now, if you’re here illegally you’re illegal.
Sell out for the illegal community.
Knelt to the mob.
Knelt to the illegals.
Knelt to the Trans movement.
Can’t budget jack.
Costs us 625K a year, 2 years left and will end at 750K a year salary.
Cost us 2.5 MILLION in one lawsuit over a deputy NOT kissing his a**.
Robert Presley Detention Center Sex Scandal…….Here you go melody, check this:
Yash Patel, arrested for sex crimes against inmates. Last trial date: 20 APR 2026
Case number: JV260666638. Investigator Cardinal (951-955-1700)
5 others implicated, but not arrested, instead moved to other facilities to protect the sheriff’s image.
Made up the phony 3rd assassination against trump, when TRUMP stated it never happened.
Denied a prisoner medical attention for 2 days, resulting in death of the inmate. Charges pending. Lawsuit pending.
187 years of State History, where we NEVER have elected a Sheriff in California for Governor.
Bianco, 33 years of Law Enforcement, afraid to debate a 36 year experienced Military Retiree.
Bianco……..ZERO Veteran affiliation or comments towards or for.
Results?? We’re about to see the worst drubbing of the State GOP in years.
Victory, placed into the jaws of Defeat.
Crappy candidates, never vetted, never challenged, never allowed to debate others.
Arrogance, mediocrity, WE KNOW failure of 30 years, same ol tired antics. Nothing.
People like to recall and recite: It only takes ONE VOTE to make a difference between a loss and a win. Aaron sometimes stated that in so many words. ONE VOTE could be the difference, between WINNING and LOSING.
And to those of you who scoffed at me, dismissed me as a Candidate, laughed cause I have/had the brass to DO what you would never do, looked at me with disdain? Remember the above statement:
ONE VOTE is all it could take, to WIN or LOSE an election.
My name, is Leo Naranjo IV……and I’m on your ballot.
That ONE VOTE, you’ll need……….that you pissed away because of arrogance.
Congrats. You’re “Participation Trophy” awaits……….but you’re will be WAY more expensive than mine.
Why did I run?
First and Foremost for the CITIZENS of this State.
YOUR choices NEVER made that statement, nor that sentiment towards voters.
Half of Placer County voted for me at the Convention….when Mark Wright stated to me, NO ONE of MY delegation will vote for you………….well sir, you lied to yourself. I’m better than you ever thought imaginable.
If I lose? MY dignity will be intact.
Some of you on here? Have none. So, you won’t be bothered one way or the other.
Enjoy the day folks!!
I’ll be speaking at the downtown Capital at the following event:

God Bless you. If you haven’t voted?? Choose………but choose wisely.

Oh, charlie was dumb enough to post a poll:
“`1-6 April Poll. Binder Research: Steve Hilton 22%, Eric Swalwell 18%, Chad Bianco 13%, Tom Steyer 12%. Other candidates’ single figures. Less than 3 weeks before ballots hit the mail…”
You forgot what hilton posted:
3-6 February
Hilton————–42%
bianco————-33%
4 MAR 2026
hilton——15%
bianco—–15%
swallwell—-14%
Porter——-13%
Nearly a 35% DROP in polling within 1 month.
hilton never cleared consistantly above 20%
bianco never cleared about 15% consistantly.
Bianco, won his 2022 election, against ONE opponent. neither, got beyond 200K votes.
bianco? Less than 175K votes case………….abissmally a less than 13% voter participation from 1.3 MILLION eligible voters.
You won’t win, with less than 13% votes in California.
250 years ago, we defeated WHO to gain our independence?? yea…..those people.
Dual citizen’s won’t win, in California.
and just so you people know??
I was at the San Diego Convention as well.
It was a bought and paid for event…………half hilton, half bainco.
Disturbing, to see people removed due to ‘being a disruption’, when all they did, was ask a question.
Disturbing to see Press people, lose their credentials cause Corrin pointed out the person to be removed.
Disturbing to see people, bought and paid for…….refuse to allow Veterans to speak, unless they had a 200 Delgate vote count.
Disturbing to see a Republican nominee for Lt Governor, rejected for a RINO of 70 years who approves of Abortion up to 15 weeks.
Oh……that candidate was black……..so, that made it ok.
I was there? and I made a splash………and won the same trophy hilton and bianco won: Participation Trophy.
Mine was less expensive than theirs.
Leo Naranjo IV for Governor
Leonaranjo4gov.com
Melody? You should review your candidates better. Neither bianco or hilton have yet bested me in a “Forum” much less a debate.
Lynyrd,
You do know that I support all you are doing, right? Intense? Yes, you are. Outsider? Yes, you are. I hope you keep at it. And maybe give Mr Wright just a little more cordiality. Last I checked Mr Wright was a Republican and not a RINO.
I really can’t see why any voter in California would select ANY of the Democrat candidates for governor. It’s almost like the Democrats are trolling the citizens with disgustingly bad candidates because they know they can get away with voter fraud (Treason? Sedition?). Everyone knows election fraud is rampant on both sides in all states. People involved KNOW their time is up and are just nervously waiting for that knock on the door while simultaneously putting on a public face of confidence and innocence.
Heider Garcia? He should have his passport seized. Maybe he should flip and save his skin? Or has he already? That would make people nervous. Seize passport.
Go get ’em Leo! And nice Charlie roast!
Hey Leo, all I did at the convention was take a Mike to tell Rankin to knock it off with her 30 min propaganda speeches and films. No body cared about them and her continued blovations and we needed to get to the voting as it was ‘Check Out’ time in the rooms. So saying… “While people such as Charlie and his ‘holier than thou I’ve been at this forever” self, scoffed. He knows. How to lose, is about it. No energy, no courage, nothing.”…. Leo go pound sand (that is Marine jargon for jump in a lake)
