OC Sheriff Opposes Second Amendment, Becomes a Political Hack

Orange County Sheriff Hutchens, a refugee from Los Angeles, has decided that OC citizens do not have the right to self protection.  She has decided to revoke as many Concealed Weapons permits as she can--and she is even letting the names of those having their guns hidden in lockers made public.  Easier for the criminals to mug or rob these previously protected people.

Now she has revoked the permit of Michael Schroeder (disclosure: Mike and I are good friends).  His crime?  He wants her out of office and he supports the Second Amendment.

This is what any community needs, the Sheriff disarming honest people while knowing criminals, gangsters, illegal aliens are armed to the teeth.

Important stuff, Like Measure B, on L.,A. Municipal Ballot

As we draw closer to March 3, I wanted to discuss some of the important things that are on the Los Angeles Municipal ballot.  Obviously, the Mayoral race is getting some attention, but it seems pretty obvious that Antonio will win that one in a cakewalk.  But there's a lot of other stuff going on that I'd like to focus on--like local measures that can make a huge difference, as well as local races that will determine who gets to be the Democratic Party bench in the Los Angeles area.

I'd like to start with Measure B, a measure which, if passed, will end up generating 400MW of solar power within the L.

Filipino veterans to get long-overdue payments under stimulus bill

Reporting from San Diego and Washington -- For more than 60 years, Cenon Antonio has waited for the payment promised by the U.S. government for fighting the Japanese after they conquered the Philippines early in World War II.

When the war was over, the United States reneged on its commitment to Antonio and other Filipino veterans, leaving what one U.S. senator calls a stain on the nation's honor.

"When America was down, we Filipinos stood up and fought beside America, but when peacetime came, the Americans were stingy," said Antonio, 82, who lives in San Diego.

Antonio said he still has nightmares of barely escaping capture by the Japanese, who tortured and killed prisoners.
