The AD-73 Race has a personal angle. I went after Anna Bryson and to a lesser extent Jesse Petrilla in that primary. The beneficiary was the beleaguered and now scandal-riddled Bill Brough. Contrary to popular belief I did not work for anyone when I ran that drill....
Incumbent protection. Ever since I got active in the CAGOP - it has been always support your incumbents. This was on display when the Tehama GOP actually reached 2/3 to endorse Bob Williams over Incumbent Assemblyman Dan Logue. The Lawyers at the top levels of...
For several years, there had been rumors about the personal conduct of Bill Brough. He is reputed to be a heavy drinker with loose personal behavior. In particular, it was alleged that Brough has had multiple incidences of sexual harassment, including alleged...
Typical of when your intrepid blogger writes and incendiary post related to internal CAGOP Politics, there are multiple responses. People whose opinion I trust and who I consider friends posited a lot of information confirming most all facts as presented, however...
Update: Since the original posting of this blog, other insiders with knowledge of the finances have been candid with your intrepid blogger about the financial situation. There will be a follow up blog posted tomorrow. They also confirmed that our accounts of the...
Sometimes, people will call me to tell me I am reading the tea leaves wrong. However, I am rarely challenged on the facts I lay out. I find that interesting. I fully well expect to field more calls after this post is seen by my usual regular readers. I've had the...

I met lobbyists. I met PAC Donors. I met members of the legislature. I also got to see a part of the capitol building. I met Rex Hime in person and his son, also named Rex Hime. Hime is 71 not 58. I still think he looks 58. He and I have the same taste in business...
I walked my first precinct in 1998. I registered Republican in late 1997. I met Josh Cook, Brian Dahle's Chief of Staff in 2002 when the Late Sam Aanestad defeated Dick Dickerson for State Senate. Josh Cook was his on the ground campaign manager. Doug LaMalfa's...
Your Intrepid Blogger was contacted by an anonymous source that directed me to an article about the 2017 LA Unified School District Election. In that election the Charter School Advocates spent $9 Million on two candidates to get a 4-3 Pro-Charter majority on the...
It is interesting really to watch someone so talented commit political suicide. Kevin Kiley could have run for Congress whether or not he was the SD01 Senator. I've been clear for many years about my disdain for Tom McClintock. He is selfish. He is a lone-wolf. He...
I've asserted that Kevin Kiley's Bay Area Donors are a problem. Informed Parents of Placer County fought against the extreme left-wing LGBT Agenda that the Rocklin USD adopted that was beyond the unfunded state mandate. They asked Kevin Kiley for help, he waffled...
