Our country appears to be racing down a perilous path, moving at breakneck speed toward uncertainty. Some people dismiss my daily anxiety, saying that my concerns are nothing more than “whistling in the wind,” and are futile against the tide of events. Some suggest that since I have no direct control over national decisions, I […]

The Left thought they could run their election playbook in the dark, especially in California. That was the plan: bend the rules, flood the zone, and disrupt the flow of American politics while the cameras looked the other way.
