◼ Hillary Clinton, doing her no-bull, forceful leader number, tells an audience: "Don't let anybody tell you that it's corporations and businesses that create jobs." - Geoffrey Norman/Weekly Standard
The aggressive tone and inelegant phrasing are meant, one supposes, to convey authenticity, which has never been Mrs. Clinton’s strength as a campaigner. No news there.
But what of the content – such as it is – of the remark? Mrs. Clinton could be forgiven for thinking that corporations and businesses exist solely to provide big paydays for politically connected guest speakers. But then, who does create jobs in the Clinton universe? If, that is, any jobs are being created.
Well, maybe she should look to Texas....

CFRW President's Message:
I was recently on a RNC conference call with Kellyanne Conway. She stressed how important this election is and she especially emphasized how important it is that all Republicans get out and vote. We have so many outstanding candidates this year! There is too much at stake and no one should sit at home. This is especially important in California where Republicans are a super minority. It is not only difficult but almost impossible for our Republicans to get important legislation passed that can help Californians and our state unless they fight hard and work together. The Prop 1 Water Bond is an example.
CFRW takes positions on the ballot measures as does the CRP and most Republican organizations . We also encourage our members to read the ballot measures and bills coming out of Sacramento for themselves so they can be informed voters. Our CFRW Advocate, Allison Olson, works hard researching bills, propositions and ballot measures and carefully analyzes them. Allison also works together with our Legislative Analyst for Ballot Measures.
CFRW took a Yes position on the Prop 1 Water Bond. Is this a perfect proposition? No, but it is difficult to find a perfect proposition that everyone can agree with 100%. There are some things we do not like in this proposition and the Republicans must also continue to fight to ensure the surface storage projects in this new bond are completed.
We need to keep one very important issue in our minds. Republicans are a SUPER MINORITY in a SUPER MAJORITY STATE so we are not going to have a "perfect water bond” or any “ perfect" bond/proposition until we elect many more Republicans to Sacramento. The Republicans fought hard for a compromise for Prop 1. Language for dam removal projects were removed from this bond and instead money will be allocated to fund two reservoir projects to hopefully help California and especially farmers with much needed water.
YES, this water bond is not perfect and Republicans will have to continue to fight even after the bond is passed to ensure the provisions of the bond are met. Remember we are a super minority and if this bond does not pass, legislators will go back and create another bill which could be an even worse bond without the critical water storage the Republicans fought so hard to include in Prop 1. This might be our only opportunity to help our farmers and California until we stop the super majority and elect a majority of Republican candidates to turn things around in Sacramento. Congressman McClintock is also supporting Prop 1, so we are in good company!
The Republicans are trying hard, even as a minority party, to do what is best for California but unfortunately they cannot produce miracles. That is why it is so important that we get all Republicans voters out to the polls on election Day and we remind absentee voters to send in their ballots early. There is too much at stake !
God Bless America!!
We look forward to seeing you in Bakersfield this weekend at our 2014 Fall CFRW Conference/Board of Directors Meeting!

Despite California climate law, carbon emissions may be a shell game
◼ California's pioneering climate-change law has a long reach, but that doesn't mean all its mandates will help stave off global warming. - LA TIMES
To meet the requirement that it cut carbon emissions, for example, Southern California Edison recently sold its stake in one of the West's largest coal-fired power plants, located hundreds of miles out of state.
But the Four Corners Generating Station in New Mexico still burns coal — only the power that Edison once delivered to California now goes to a different utility's customers in Arizona....
California power plant owners complain that they are competing at a disadvantage because out-of-state firms find ways to send in cheap, coal-generated energy without labeling it as such. State rules allow companies to avoid specifying which plants are shipping electricity. So the power could as easily be generated by coal from Wyoming as wind from Oregon.
California officials — and some environmentalists — argue such concerns will fade as the Obama administration executes its recently unveiled plan to force all states to lower power plant emissions. Others caution that the administration's plan will give states wide latitude to take their own approaches at their own pace and, as a result, won't force reductions as quickly as California's law would.
"A lot of people say: 'Don't worry about it, we will break a few eggs on the way to getting this done, but eventually all the other states will join California,'" Cullenward said.
"But from a practical, political perspective, there is almost no prospect for a state like Arizona adopting the kind of strict rules we have in California."

The idea that nothing much will change if the GOP captures the whole Congress is just plain wrong. The politics and policies in Washington are about to change in a major way.
◼ The optimistic GOP story everyone is missing - Larry Kudlow/Washington Examiner
The vast majority of political journalists — and I include some of my conservative colleagues — are missing a very big story.
The Republicans are going to recapture the Senate, picking up more seats than most any forecaster expects. And the House GOP is going to add to its majority. But then comes the big story: The beginning of a new conservative revolution.
The idea that nothing much will change if the GOP captures the whole Congress is just plain wrong. The politics and policies in Washington are about to change in a major way.
Obama may still be president. But he is going to be immediately confronted with a flood of new bills that will change the debate on tax reform, energy, health care, education, international trade and regulations.
Obama will no longer be able to hide behind Harry Reid, who has stopped all voting on these matters. And Mitch McConnell, as Senate majority leader, will be able to move forward the reform ideas of his caucus and House policy leaders like Paul Ryan, Jeb Hensarling, Kevin Brady and many others.
Obama's head will spin with all the new paperwork on his desk. He may even have to cut back on his golf game.
Of course, because of his left-wing ideology, Obama may veto everything. But if he does, he's setting up a new Republican agenda for the 2016 presidential race. Either Hillary Clinton completely jumps the Obama ship, or she's pulled way left by the Democratic party's Bill de Blasio/Elizabeth Warren/Sandinista wing. Either way she's in trouble....

Suspect in killing of Sacramento Co. Sheriff's deputies was twice deported
◼ A man suspected of killing two deputies during a shooting rampage in Northern California was deported twice to Mexico and had a drug conviction, federal authorities said Saturday. - Don Thompson/SF Chronicle
The suspected shooter told Sacramento County Sheriff's investigators that he was 34-year-old Marcelo Marquez of Salt Lake City. However, his fingerprints match the biometric records of a Luis Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte in a federal database, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice said....
"The fingerprints were the basis for our request for an immigration detainer," she said.
The detainer requests that local authorities turn him over to federal custody after his case is adjudicated so ICE can purse his deportation, Kice said.
The suspect was being held without bail on suspicion of two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder and two counts of carjacking.
His wife, 38-year-old Janelle Marquez Monroy, was also in custody on suspicion of attempted murder and carjacking after the attack on Friday that left two deputies dead and two other victims wounded.
