• Carl DeMaio’s plan to restore the California GOP and save the Golden State

  14-11-2024 17:16 via ocregister.com
  
  “Been down so long it looks like up to me,” a line from a 1924 song by Memphis bluesman Furry Lewis, would be an apt motto for the California Republican Party. Carl DeMaio, just elected as a Republican Assemblymember from the 75th District, which includes non-coastal San Diego County, aims to change that. 
  He was a San Diego City councilmember from 2008-12 and later lost races for mayor and to the U.S. Congress. He also heads Reform California, which advocates such libertarian p

• California gets mediocre grades for its business climate

  14-11-2024 17:08 via ocregister.com
  
  California is barely a middle-of-the-pack performer when scoring the state’s business climate against the rest of the nation.
  California got a below-average No. 30 ranking among the states when my trusty spreadsheet looked at eight yardsticks of economic well-being from a business perspective. That’s not terribly surprising, given all the C-suite criticism of the state’s often pro-consumer leanings.
  The nation’s business-friendliest locales, according to this scorecard, a

  President-elect Donald Trump joined President Joe Biden in the White House on Wednesday, with smiles all around and a commitment from Biden to ensure a smooth transition. In a vacuum, this seems as it should be. But when one remembers the hysteria whipped up by Biden about Trump, it’s quite remarkable.
  Who could forget that just two years ago, President Biden chose to address the nation in Pennsylvania about the threat Trump and his supporters posed to the nation.

• Good riddance to Kevin de Leon

  14-11-2024 16:50 via ocregister.com
  
  Some degree of undue self-importance must come with the urge to enter electoral politics in the first place. It’s not unusual in any ambitious person — but the best of us mask that well and create a career that does some good for others as well as for themselves.
  And then there’s a politician like Kevin de León, in whom self-importance rose to hubris, for which he paid the price in last week’s Los Angeles City Council election, in which, happily for his constituent

  Five things to do in the garden this week:
  Fruit crops. Bramble plants (blackberry and raspberry), like deciduous fruit trees, are best planted in Southern California in the fall or winter. Bramble fruit are harvested from canes which produce a crop in their second year of growth. After they fruit, the canes die and should be removed once they turn completely brown and dry, a sign that the nutrients in the canes have returned to the plant’s perennial roots and can be recycled into new cane

  Even before the aluminum pontoon boat “The Good Seamaritan” left the dock, captain Robert Sloan’s keen eye spotted trash strewn near the waterline.

  This may be the best thing that ever happened to the Democratic Party. They have at least a couple of years to remake themselves.
  If they take the hint and do so, I think they might start with their murky, radical left extremism of the whole transgender, child surgery, boys in girls bathrooms, boys in girls sports agenda. I think most of the country is just not comfortable with it.
