Well well well. It looks like Ken Cooley is sweating a lot. He has had to unload a ton of TV ads against Josh Hoover, including an ad torching “extreme far-right politicians” that have endorsed Josh Hoover. Please note, Jay Obernolte is pro-choice up to 15 weeks as is Mimi Walters. This is the first time I have seen either of them referred to as extreme far-right, and I’d like to welcome them both in to my world… the water is fine.

I got this absolute NUKE in my email box that was so awesome I had to re-post it on Right on Daily! I added underlining for emphasis on the absolute Nuclear Political Ordinance that was included at the end of this release.

Ken Cooley worked closely and coauthored over 1,000 Bills with three legislators he calls “extreme far-right politicians” in new campaign ad

FOLSOM, CA — Assemblyman Ken Cooley recently launched an attack ad against his opponent, Josh Hoover, where he smears Hoover and labels three legislators that Hoover worked with as “extreme far-right politicians”.
What Cooley is not telling you is that he worked closely with all three Legislators. In fact, Ken Cooley coauthored 471 measures with Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, 614 measures with Assemblyman Kevin Kiley and 7 measures with Assemblywoman Mimi Walters. A total of 1092 measures were coauthored with the three so-called “extreme far-right politicians” legislators. In addition, Cooley signed on as a coauthor for 15 more bills where the primary author of the legislation was one of the legislators Cooley labeled as extreme far-right politicians.
It turns out Cooley’s so-called standards are not so high when it comes to who he works for.
Prior to his election to the Assembly, Cooley worked for Senator Ron Calderon, who was sentenced to 42 months in federal prison for taking $120,000 in bribes, and for Assemblyman Lou Papan, who used his position as Rules Committee Chairman to demand sex from lobbyists. Cooley’s ad does not mention that experience.

Your intrepid blogger has determined that the SBGOP are run by squishes and supports a bunch of squishes. Are they crooks? Can’t prove that at all.

When we put our first post up about the SBGOP, its’ Chair Phil Cothran and others… the nexus for your intrepid blogger was simple. I took issue with the way Phil Cothran got elected, it was an establishment jam down at the expense of conservatives. Not once did I allege they did something illegal.

I have been tracking the SBGOP ever since.

I also have a HUGE pet peeve when Republican Groups in California spend time and effort on R vs R races. This is the second thing that annoyed me and motivated me to write the post.

SO let’s set the record straight. Your intrepid blogger was right about Jesse Almendarez being a squish, however Jesse has been a Republican his entire life. His people dispute his ties to the pot lobby as well. I even had one insider personally vouch for the man’s character based on years of friendship while confirming he is politically moderate.

Much of the explanation over the decision to spend $70K on Almendarez and $50K (Note the higher amount) on Smitty Smith over Tom Lackey involved a bunch of complicated insider garbage, but suffice to say the SBGOP was able to leverage those races to get a lot of donations. It was also put to me that the overwhelming majority of the committee agreed with both spending decisions.

They get to choose what the money is spent on. I’d have opposed the decisions.

I was told that Luis Cetina – the opponent to Almaendarez ran for LA City Council in the 1990’s as a democrat. No one gave me an answer about the allegations of intimidation, but one fascinating angle is Connie Leyva, a flaming leftist appears to be helping Cetina borne out of some issues she has with others in the area. This seems to be a constant in politics everywhere.

It was further confirmed that the Light Rail is being built in to Rancho Cucamonga. That part is done and is happening. It was explained to me that the RC City Council have been irresponsibly spending tons of money and they have nearly run out of land. With the Prop 13 property tax cap, RC can’t raise property taxes fast enough to satisfy their desire for more money. No one knew about the attempt to extort higher ticket prices by RC however.

There is indeed a “Team Fontana” but it was described to me as something informal that was coined back in the days when Fontana was “Fontucky” and not the emerging destination it is now.

What was most peculiar is that no one seemed to know a thing about a plan to extend the light rail in to Fontana. All are aware that there is indeed a federal contract and some funding that was put through to build tracks all the way to Las Vegas.

Lastly, not one person attempted to defend Acquanetta Warren – that tells me everything about her as well.

This will be continued as there are more shoes to drop…

Have you heard of “Team Fontana”? Me neither until I started getting calls alleging an unholy alliance between Phil Cothran the liberal Republican Chairman of San Bernardino County GOP and Norma Torres, the communist Congresswoman.

From Left to Right, Norma Torres, Pete Buttgeig, alleged Republican Acquanetta Warren (Who endorses democrats) and Congressman Pete Aguilar.

There is apparently a lot of controversy about the light rail extension in to Rancho Cucamonga. There are a ton of theories out there about who is doing what and why.

What I know is that Acquanetta Warren is not a Republican, but gets fawned over but leftist Republicans all the time while she raises taxes, votes for AB32 crap and endorses democrats. She needs to get out of the GOP. I am not surprised one bit to see her palling around with a pair of communists talking about wasting tax dollars on green grab bag pork projectss.

Buttigeig was in town to talk about building the light rail beyond Rancho Cucamonga in to Fontana. It is alleged that a bunch of developers have land that will explode in value should the light rail go beyond Rancho Cucamonga. It has also been alleged that there is some sort of connection to San Bernardino Republicans that are a part of this left-right alliance called Team Fontana.

What I know for a fact is that Supervisor Kurt Hagman has been fighting with the Rancho Cucamonga City Council. There is a tunnel that will be built from the terminus in Rancho Cucamonga to the Ontario Airport. The RC City Council see this project as a cash cow and are seeking to extort a surcharge on tickets to the light rail. Ironically, the socialists running the light rail project see a $1 a ticket surcharge as some sort of outrage and affront. Hagman, long famous for playing both sides of issues (this is his leadership style), is also playing footsies with the Team Fontana crowd.

It could be as simple as trying to back the RC City Council off of their demand for a ticket surcharge.

It could also be as simple as a bunch of leftists wanting the Light Rail to extend across America and Fontana is the starting point.

What has caused a lot of people to allege corruption and conspiracies on the right as the way the establishment rigged the election of Phil Cothran (rigged is my opinion of what they did), and coupled with their allegiance to democrat-turned republican but still liberal Jesse Armendarez for Supervisor.

Armendarez has deep ties to the pot industry, but his connection to this story is his known support for Team Fontana and their desire to extend the light rail to Fontana. Armendarez is in a tight runoff with another Republican. Supporters of the other guy claim the establishment have been engaging in bullying and intimidation tactics – I was given two specific examples, one involving SBGOP Chair Phil Cothran threatening to run someone against a local Republican Elected and a second local elected that caved and dual endorsed in the runoff.

Luis Cetena is the Opponent to the establishment.

What I also know is that the SBGOP had $150K in the bank, 3 months later it had 1300 in the bank. They had to let go of their executive director and then were able to re-hire him when they lined up a donor to cover his salary. Some think the donation was linked to the Team Fontana thing. I have also been told that there is no detailed accounting given at monthly SBGOP meetings about where the money goes.

I will be checking campaign finance reports when they display, but I have been told that the SBGOP spent $70K on Armendarez in a race with another Republican on the ballot and another $30K on Thurston “Smitty” Smith against Tom Lackey in another R vs R race. Regardless of any alleged corruption nexus to Aremendarez – this is a liberal Republican Chairman of a County Party doing what liberal Republicans do… palling around with democrats and spending money against Conservatives and not democrats.

It does explain why Cothran has the fan club he does – he fits right in to the moderate Republican motif, pick winners in primaries and expend all energy on stopping conservatives.

The nexus to team fontana (which may or may not exist)? We will see if we obtain more direct evidence. Suffice to say, when any government project gets built, a lot of people get rich. Who and Why, we will find out more soon…

This photo was taken in June on election night. Man, has the landscape changed since then.

This race sucks.

I helped elect Greg Janda to the Rocklin City Council for pay. I worked for Bill Halldin twice for pay (the second of which was electing him to Rocklin Council). I know Ken Broadway personally and helped his second race for City Council. All are supporting Trial Lawyer David Bass.

Pete Constant, Matthew Oliver’s (Matt is on the Left side of photo) campaign dude is a personal friend. (Pete is on the right of this photo) The Placer GOP is full of friends and allies and they are excited to help Matthew. Joe Patterson, whom I endorsed early for AD05, helped elect to Rocklin Council several years prior and who is soon to be our Assemblyman has endorsed Oliver.

This race detonated when Matthew Oliver posted an ill-advised meme depicting money changing hands in exchange for legislation. It was up for an hour before getting pulled down – that is all it took to set off a firestorm.

Bill Halldin and Ken Broadway are two of the finest men I know in politics. I’d vouch for their character and I am offended by what Matt did. However, Halldin, Broadway and others are reputed to be going to the ends of the earth to bury Matthew Oliver. There has been one of the most robust whisper campaigns I have ever seen in a local race.

David Bass has made no secret that his primary nexus for running is his personal hatred of Matthew Oliver. Jill Gayaldo (a trump-hating liberal democrat who re-registered DTS) has also been at the forefront of attempts to derail Matthew Oliver.

Your intrepid blogger is working to confirm some of the most extreme stories I have heard, which include legal threats, threats made by city staff and/or sitting councilmembers against local businesses, and attempts by candidates and/or supporters to mess with the employment of their political foes. God help any of these people if I get witness(es) on the record or some actual proof of any of this stuff.

David Bass himself has left a paper trail of treats, legal threats and generalized rage against anyone that he thinks is getting in his way. His behavior is equally as bad as Matt Oliver’s.

To everyone involved, these sorts of tactics are not worth it. Stop. Do not wreck your own reputation over a stupid City Council race.

I get why so many people are reacting viscerally to Matthew Oliver, his candidacy would be scantly different than mine would have been. Imagine what I’d do to a municipality while running for office! It has taken me 20+ years to get the filter I have now.

This is why I will never run for office. I made a decision years ago that my lane was influencing who got elected versus being an elected. It has worked with devastating effectiveness. When I cut a video, it pisses people off. When I write a blog, it pisses people off (Right Scott?). My very existence offends a lot of people. Why in the hell would I run for office, it would be a zombie eruption of everyone I ever rolled in a past campaign.

The only person that can beat Matthew Oliver is Matthew Oliver. His opponent(s) have made the race uber-personal and they are not talking about the future of Rocklin. The whole discussion is Matthew Oliver.

Then, without warning Matthew Oliver doubled down on his charges of corruption on a post from Rocklin Mayor Bill Halldin that was made on 9-15-2022. Halldin expressed his irritation that Oliver posted something implying that Halldin had endorsed him, below is how Oliver responded:

It is clear that Oliver has chosen a course for his campaign. It is also clear Bass has as well.

Matt has pushed his envelope so far that some of his known Republican endorsers are having second thoughts. Where does Matt’s chosen course take him?

Oliver is a Republican. Bass is not. So there’s that part as well. Oliver has something like $100K to spend. Bass? Certainly not that much. Oliver enjoys the support of the GOP base, Bass’ loudest boosters are a collection of Rocklin Communists.

I will not stop being friends with everyone involved post election – to all of you, please discontinue trying to pull me in to the middle of this. I have spoken my peace to many of you personally, you are grown adults and you can do what you wish with my advice. Thanks for your friendship and support over the years. And with this blog I am refusing to take a position on or participate in the Rocklin City Council race.

That’s it, I’m done. Have fun Rocklin.
