Former state Senator Kyrsten Sinema is many things: a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House in Arizona’s Ninth Congressional District, a strident advocate for lefty causes, a one-time supporter of erstwhile Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader. And, according to the nonprofit National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials,…

I despise the United States Border Patrol. One-hundred miles from the U.S. Border, the entire U.S. border, they are a law unto themselves, in what the ACLU refers to as a “constitution free zone,” that encircles the entire contiguous United States.They regularly treat U.S. citizens with contempt. This, despite the…

Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s the Rodney Dangerfield of Sand Land politics these days. He just don’t get no respect. Thing is, in his case, he deserves no respect, whereas Dangerfield’s self-pity was a shtick. People actually liked him. They despise Joe. At least those with half a brain or more.Because of this,…
Let’s be honest, there are a lot of nativists out there who are caressing their hands at the prospect that an Arizona cop might soon be killed by an illegal alien.What better way to attack both the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent 5-3 decision tossing three sections of Senate Bill 1070,…
Things are not going well for disgraced, recalled former state Senate President Russell Pearce, the marble-mouthed Mesa mook who’s attempting a comeback with a Legislative District 25 run for state Senate.In spite of Pearce’s half-hearted claims of a “huge win” in the U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-3 decision on his baby,…
Millions spent in legal fees. Hundreds of millions (at least) lost in revenue from convention and hotel booking cancellations due to boycotts. The immeasurable cost of being branded a state led by bigots, much less the assured infamy when judged by history. Weigh all these outcomes together and, on the…
I’d have no problem with Governor Jan Brewer’s whining like a stuck javelina about the Obama administration’s jerking 287(g) agreements with Arizona, and promising to not pick up, or answer questions about every brown person ‘Zona cops pull over.
