SAN DIEGO -- Every time I see another example of President Donald Trump weakening America -- by desecrating our Constitution, destroying our traditions, or diminishing our position in the world -- I get furious.

At Democrats.

The way I see it, Trump didn't actually win the 2024 presidential election. Democrats lost it.

Think about it. ...Read more

“You get a line and I’ll get a drone, honey / You get a line and I’ll get an app, babe…”

SAN DIEGO -- Many Mexican Americans who grew up amid the subtle racism of California probably never thought they'd see the day that one of our own would be elected governor of the nation's most populous state.

This is the Trump era, which means if you blink, you will miss another shattering example of unabashed corruption. I don't usually write about the same topic twice in a row, but the latest revelations of Trump's wanton, shameless profiteering from the White House cannot go unremarked. The term "drain the swamp" will go down in history as a ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- If there is one thing that Americans don't need, it's more whine. The latest vintage -- which seems to be popular with young people -- is particularly bitter. It's not fit for public consumption. It needs to be poured down the drain, so it can slither its way back to the sewer from whence it came.

SAN DIEGO -- Steve Hilton and I aren't exactly chums. But, it's fair to say that, on those occasions when the former Fox News host and I crossed paths in the media trenches, it was on friendly terms.

The 56-year-old native of Great Britain is quite likable. Now that he's running for governor of California, that's an asset. Several of his ...Read more

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, it’s a great time to read “Chicken Soup for the Veteran’s Soul.”

After the Supreme Court clarified the constitutional test for gun control laws in 2022, many longstanding restrictions on the right to arms looked newly vulnerable. Second Amendment groups jumped at the opportunity, filing one lawsuit after another in cases that frequently pitted them against the Biden administration.

SAN DIEGO -- Occasionally, I'll find myself standing in front of a group of college journalism students. It's my job to give them tips on writing and storytelling and the proper way to communicate.

I yammer on even though I'm not sure if I'm getting through. I hope I am. But I've learned that the generation gap is a real thing, and -- when I'...Read more

The Social Security Administration just released the most popular baby names for 2025, and they reveal an unfortunate trend.

Did you catch the story about Trump trying to raid the Treasury to the tune of $10 billion? It's the latest in a string of grasping, grubby assaults on public integrity that have marked the Trump regime.

Trigger warning: The thefts ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- As a native Californian who has lived here most of my life and can't imagine living anywhere else, I've been eager for several weeks to comment on the governor's race in my home state.

At the same time, I've been resisting that urge by actively focusing on just about anything else. Because the more I look at the line-up of ...Read more
