Blogger’s Note: I was Steve Frank’s campaign manager in 2021 when he ran for Chair of the CAGOP. 

I’ve stopped asking why. I am convinced that what I am seeing was foretold in the classic book “Lord of the Flies”. This is the only explanation I can muster for what I am seeing.

The battle lines are pretty clear for CAGOP office. Corrin Rankin, John Park (no Relation), Sayrs Morris and Robert Rego on the side of Sanity, versus Mike Morrell and crew. Further, I can only draw the conclusion that Mike Morrell (he, a former State Senator) approves of the psychosis being carried out on his behalf.

You will see the comment from a former State Senate candidate calling Corrin Rankin – who was a down-the-escalator, day ONE Trump supporter – a communist. You will also observe that Bill Essayli, a Conservative firebrand that the lobbyists in Sacramento can’t stand is now relegated to scum status by the anti-CAGOP crowd. Either you are with them or you are against them – nothing else matters.

These same luminaries have lied repeatedly against Rankin, calling her a DEI candidate. Would they hurl this at a non-black candidate? Would they hurl the above attack against Essayli if he was white as a sheet and not Lebanese?

This is what you have to look forward to if Mike Morrell and his crew get elected.

Leave us not forget, the attacks against Bill and Corrin are not the only racist tropes that have come out of this crew:

I wonder if the person who posted that vile message—and the other who liked it—are still happy about it now that the savagery and atrocities of Hamas are being exposed. John Paul White is a sitting CAGOP board member and should be expelled from the CAGOP Board, and the others pushing such garbage should get the Grcar treatment as well.

There is one thing – these people aren’t prejudiced, they hate everyone equally – Blacks, Jews and Arabs. I can’t wait to see what’s next for them…

Speaking of Joseph Grcar – he and Allison Hayden broke in to the Alameda GOP HQ while the Alameda GOP was organizing VIA zoom due to people’s concerns regarding threats on their safety. While Hayden had a key to the HQ, they were not authorized to be there and the stunt resulted in police activity.

Undaunted, these knuckleheads staged their own shadow party meeting and then protested to the CAGOP to recognize their meeting, not the actual party meeting. They were rejected and now the opposition is claiming “We Wuz Robbed”.

Again, re-read the above two paragraphs to understand the utter lack of self-awareness in this crew.

In Marin County where they won an outright majority, they could not organize and were stripped of their four appointed delegates because they allowed their organizational meeting to devolve in to a Tom Hudson rage-fest. Even when they win, they can’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

Steve Frank has sent out several of his Heard on the Tom-Tom’s emails that are named after a deceased (for about 15 years) former officer of the CAGOP. I would bet she’d tell Steve to stop using her name given the outright lies and the 90% untruths that it has been replete with the last 60 days. About the only thing correct are the names, even though Frank likes to misspell a lot of words.

As the election is going worse for the opposition, the hysteria is growing worse and the spiral is easy to discern.

Beyond the Alameda GOP stunt, I have been told of at least two other counties where physical threats occurred. One person indicated that opponents of their chair had called employers and/or business associates of central committee members not aligned with them. I am waiting for on-the-record confirmations with specifics and I will name names. Given the verifiable threats, what I am seeing on line, the above is plausible. The opposition is completely out of control and would decimate the CAGOP should they prevail in the election.

Lastly, it is laughable that Steve Frank is invoking the MAGA movement and Donald Trump in his posts. Knowing Mr. Frank as I do, and having had conversations with him about the subject of Trump, he is a skeptic of Trump at best.

This is embarrassing. These are not conservative values. This needs to stop.

The Latest: With Trump Torching Government at all Levels the Opposition is Torching the CAGOP

This is the version of Trump I thought I was getting in 2016. I want more of this and hopefully the onslaught continues for 4 solid years.

It is clear that Trump and his team started months ago planning about how to strike, where to strike and were prepared for the legal challenges that would ensue. The Government is in a panic as people do not know if they are next to get terminated and the light being shone on the corruption and waste is staggering.

… not to mention that he backed down several foreign countries and the Transgender mob.

So then, with these incredible things happening, how did Donald Trump win. I use CBSBS news exit polls (the same CBSBS that is in deep legal trouble for editing the Kamala Harris interview, amongst other things). CBSBS has a known Dem Bias, so the actual numbers are better than these:

92-7 Among Black Women!?, that is over triple the 2% Trump got in 2020. You’d think with a Black Woman who was run out of the democrat party by the dems abolishing Cash Bail in CA ending her business (allowing criminals to stay out of jail awaiting trial so they can re-offend), that the rank-and-file of the party would be celebrating and promoting this!

Nope. The solution is a bunch of 70-something dinosaurs promoting a 60-something white dude for Chair. I know their candidate for chair, at least I thought I did before seeing his consent for what is being done in his name.

Trump deserves better than this, the CAGOP deserves better than this.

So, let’s summarize a few things that have happened in the last few weeks:

San Benito – had to organize in a secure location because of threats of disruption

Contra Costa – despite a clear supermajority in favor of the existing leadership, disruptions were attempted.

Sutter – unconfirmed reports of attempted disruption

Sacramento – the existing chair had professionals present to deal with disruptions. The current leadership were elected by a slim margin.

Los Angeles – this was deliberately set up for chaos and despite a clear result, the “we-wuz-robbed” crowd are up to the same old tricks from the last 30 years.

Marin – despite the opposition having a clear supermajority of elected members, Tom Hudson was still present to devolve the meeting in to chaos. It was unnecessary as once the meeting was gaveled in to order the 2/3 could have taken over. The party wasted $500 on a room and also had private security present. Pay close attention to what happened in Marin, it feels all to familiar to the 15 years I served in leadership of CRA. There was constant fighting and seldom was cohesion.

Apparently, the paranoia that has gripped the opposition played out in Marin where fantasies of some sort of deep state coup appear to have been overriding the therapeutic effects of prescribed medications.

And now these people are attacking the aforementioned candidate for Chair because she was a democrat up until the mid 2010’s. I am waiting for these people to trash RFK Jr. who is still a democrat despite being appointed to President Trump’s cabinet. I will be waiting a long time as asking for consistency is tantamount to heresy.

Having been thrown out of CRA for amongst other things – not being conservative enough – I am sure the torches are lit and the sabers are sharpened.

Honorable Mention: ELECTION FRAUD

Many of these folks lay awake at night thinking about dominion machines and Chinese hackers. In 28 years of doing campaign work, I know how some fraud happens as I have seen it.  Yet, many don’t seem to care what I have seen, because Hackers and Machines are easier to blame.

Elon Musk has uncovered the mother lode. The USAID and other departments of government were funding election work and “Non-Profits” for years and to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. You don’t need to stuff ballot boxes when media outlets are on the take, community organizations are little more than extensions of government and the whole welfare system was created to register democrats.

I’ve seen few if any of the fringe social media accounts draw this conclusion. I’ve never seen enough registration fraud and mail ballot fraud to total enough to equal the numbers fantasized about – but now we know why the dems always seem to have an advantage. Siphoning off hundreds of millions of tax dollars in to their machine. But, because I refuse to agree that mail ballots and registration fraud number in the millions some want to burn me for heresy.

You’d think with an opportunity to level the playing field, that the GOP would be unified and working on how to break out of the media cloud. Nope, it is like Lord of the Flies.
