The Ultimate Case Study
By Kevin Kiley – August 15, 2023 Last night, I led off Laura Ingraham’s show on Fox News with a simple message: the collapse of San Francisco is the ultimate case study for the failure of radical progressive politics. It is Newsom’s “model for the nation” taken to its end stage. I noted that crime…

The Secret Lab
By Kevin Kiley – August 11, 2023 Last week, news broke about a secret Chinese-run bioengineering lab in Fresno County. Since then, the revelations have gotten even more disturbing.

Another Newsom Cover-Up
By Kevin Kiley – August 4, 2023 Our much-anticipated profile in the Washington Examiner Magazine is out today. I think it came out pretty well.

The buck passing never stops in California state government
By Jon Coupal – June 14, 2023 President Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that read “The Buck Stops Here.” In an interview with legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow, he explained that, as president, he was responsible for all the decisions of his administration and wouldn’t “pass the buck” to someone else. In…

California’s shakedown government expands under Gavin Newsom
By Jon Coupal – originally published March 31, 2023 If you thought Governor Gavin Newsom’s new gas tax, SBX1-2, was about punishing big, bad oil companies, it’s not. It’s actually about much more – and none of it is good news for taxpayers. For those who weren’t paying attention last week, SBX1-2 was Newsom’s attack…

Breaking Through
By Kevin Kiley – May 23, 2023 At the moment, the “debt ceiling” battle is all-consuming in Washington. Here are two things you may not hear in the media coverage. First, in the House (unlike the Schumer-controlled Senate) we passed legislation weeks ago to avoid defaulting on our country’s debts – while cutting spending so…

The Collapse of San Francisco
By Kevin Kiley – May 11, 2023 This week, I addressed the House of Representatives on the collapse of one of the world’s most beautiful cities. You can watch the 15-minute speech here. With Whole Foods, Nordstrom, T-Mobile, Saks, and Anthropologie all announcing their departure, San Francisco is in total free fall. My goal was to…
