Well, there was this little thing called a VOTER REBELLION that occurred last November. Neither party wants to take responsibility (yet) for their own shortcomings, and neither party wants to admit (yet) that it's really happening. It'll take another election or two where the voters throw the bums out before they start getting the message. It's way too early to send the success or failure of Trump's presidency to the jury, but I'm still happy. He already saved the nation from complete collapse under either Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton, the two uni-party favorites. The establishment elites from both parties...

Remember when Donald Trump was losing? If you blinked, you might have missed it. It started during last Thursday's debate, continued through the muddled results of Saturday's caucuses and primaries, and lasted until, oh, around the time that news outlets began calling Mississippi for Trump a few minutes after the polls closed in the state on Tuesday night.

Voters are always right for the same reason the customer is always right – they are the ones who decide. Just as a business will fail without customers, a party without voters is doomed. It looks as though we are headed for a contested convention. The convention delegates will need to keep their wits about them and remember that even if they are freed from their initial pledged candidates, they are not free from this basic political reality. Spit on your voters, and they will spit on you.... --snip--Only two candidates are putting forth policies that we Republicans have been...

Q: Why are the voters rebelling? A: The leftist progressives have been treading on our constitution and our liberty for at least the last 100 years and consequently we've suffered a long train of abuses and usurpations: The income tax (16th amendment), ending state sovereignty/concentrating power at the federal level (the 17th amendment), the Fed, heavy-handed/unconstitutional regulations, socialized retirement, socialized health care, restrictions on religious liberty, legalized abortion, federal mandated homosexual marriage with the heavy hand of the federal government enforcing it over the objections of the states and small business operators, the illegal alien invasion, the subversive Muslim invasion,...

<p>Just a reminder. The is a voter rebellion. The tea party rebellion. We are rebelling against business as usual in DC and against both major parties. The democrats have gone full-bore Marxist. The Republican GOP-e has gone full-bore statist. Very little difference liberty-wise, they're both anti-liberty. Neither party defends the constitution or our God-given liberty. They are ignoring the constitution and granting themselves dictatorial powers in the central government. We the people are basically at war against the ruling class. It's the tea party rebellion.</p>

Some folks who want to undo the boondoggle also known as California’s High-Speed Rail project took a step closer to that reality yesterday when their ballot initiative was cleared to collect signatures. Republican state Sen. Doug LaMalfa and former congressman George Radanovich seek to derail the train, but now need signatures of 504,760 registered voters to qualify their measure for the November ballot. They’ve have until Aug. 13. We’re hoping they get what they need. But a few obstacles remain, and they aren’t insubstantial...
