While former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney notches his second win in the GOP primary race, it was Congressman Ron Paul, the “liberty first” Republican who nabbed second place. The strong Paul finish knocked the wind out of last week's Iowa’s second place finisher, Rick Santorum -the non-Romney candidate.
With momentum on Ron Paul side, the campaign issued a strong statement to other Republican candidates- “drop out.”
“We urge Ron Paul’s opponents who have been unsuccessfully trying to be the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney to unite by getting out ofthe race and uniting behind Paul’s candidacy,” said National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.
“The race is becoming more clearly a two-man race between establishment candidate Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, the candidate of authentic change,” Benton said.
The Paul campaign also points out that Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are the only two GOP candidates that can beat President Barack Obama in national polls. After raising more than $13 million this quarter, Paul supporters continue to believe in their “audit the fed” contender.
“Ron Paul has the boldest plan to cut spending, a dedication to protecting life, and a lifelong dedication to the Constitution and limited government,” Benton explained.
Many of Paul’s supporters have been critical of media coverage and will move forward with young college-aged voters leading the way. Paul’s “liberty first” campaign has not only resonated with young people and Independents across the nation, but many non-party affiliates have joined the bandwagon.
“I am concerned with winning the state of California as we have 170 delegates here,” said Mike Benoit, congressional candidate and organizer for the San Diego Ron Paul for President meet-up group. “I think he needs to raise $10 million in the next 30 days to keep moving forward.”
Benoit strongly believes Paul can win the nomination as Jon Huntsman, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry all lose campaign donors to poor finishes. “There is no doubt about it, it is a war of attrition. If we can’t raise the money for the cause, then we do not deserve liberty. Liberty does come at a price,” Benoit finished.

Illegal immigrant accused of raping and killing a baby girl
The Albuquerque Police said they arrested an illegal alien on charges of sexual assault and murdering his girlfriend’s one-month-old baby girl. Authorities found the baby in a pool of her own blood with visible vaginal and anal tears along with two black eyes.
The suspect, Juan Galindo’s criminal record includes drug and alcohol abuse as well as assaulting another child. Galindo was charged over the weekend with aggravated criminal sexual penetration and child abuse resulting in death- his bail was set at $1 million.
“It's extremely hard on the detectives and everybody who, the initial deputies who attempted to do CPR on the baby, the family members who attempted to do CPR on the baby,” Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Lt. Justin Dunlap said. “It's extremely difficult.”
The Medical Examiner performed a preliminary autopsy on the dead baby and discovered she suffered previous rib fractures and brain bleed injuries.
Officials also said that Galindo used numerous aliases and birth dates while residing illegally in New Mexico and was deported in August of last year.
According to detectives, this wasn’t the first time Galindo had problems with the law.
“He has been arrested for a case involving child abuse before in Texas, I believe in 1993, for [some sort] of DWI related incident,” Lt. Dunlap concluded.
Galindo has at least six kids with a variety of women.

Californians are the losers in Gov. Brown’s gimmick-filled budget proposal
Can Californian’s say, please tax me? This is the not-so-new plan for the state’s $15-20 billion budget deficit woes. The Golden State’s Governor, Jerry Brown, is crossing his fingers that voters will agree to a sales and income tax hike to solve budget deficit problems.
What the governor doesn’t highlight is the hidden $7 billion increase in its yearly spending expenditures.
One might ask how the Gov. Brown intends to cover his tracks, increase taxes of course.
One liberal-leaning group is riding behind the Kim Kardashian’s success story and asking the reality television star if she can pay more in taxes. A video ad produced by the Courage Campaign targets the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star by comparing the millionaire’s (Kim earned a reported $12 million last year) tax rate to someone earning $47,000 a year. The ad failed to acknowledge that the reality star paid at least 10 percent of her earnings to Uncle Sam in Sacramento, her bill landed somewhere near the $1.2 million mark while the “unnamed” worker paid $3,000. Voters should be questioning which of the two paid their “fair share?”
In the meantime, California residents will be asked to increase their own taxes in order to cover the “out of control” pension funds promised to public-sector union employees, duplicative state agencies, the largest prison population, Medicaid/Medicare and other “free” services for the illegal population that reside in California.
Currently, California is facing monumental billion dollar budget shortfalls and Governor Brown is banking on residents to increase taxes to narrow the budget gap. In June of this year, state legislators voted on a supposed-balance budget, but underestimating expenditures has left a $12.8 billion hole for the state.
The biggest cut Governor Brown proposes is the state’s welfare and child care programs. These entitlement programs will see $1.4 billion less money next year if state legislators agree to the governor’s cuts and reduce spending to the poor.
“I do not see us taking cut action between now and the May (budget revision)," said Democrat Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg. "We've done enough damage on the cuts side. And the cash situation is pretty good. And it isn't like February of 2009 when we were close to heading over the cliff. I just don't see the need to make cuts."
In an effort to stave off budget cuts, Democrats are hoping residents will elect to increase the state sales tax by half-a-cent for the next four years. The tax measure would also levy a 1 percent income tax on income earners who make $250,000, 1.5 percent on income over $300,000 and a 2 percent income tax on those earning more than $500,000. Effectively the state income tax would increase from 10.3 percent to 12.3 percent making California the most expensive state to live. Governor Brown anticipates the increase will raise $7 billion, still shy of the $13 billion budget deficit.
California tax crusader, Richard Rider of San Diego Tax Fighters points out the hard reality for Golden State residents. “If passed, California will advance from the third highest income tax state to numero uno. Any sane rich person HAS to be thinking of moving out of the state.”
Minor cuts await
Californians will also find the Governor has decided to save money by eliminating 3,000 jobs from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Departments. The democratic-run state will shift some of the prison population to the counties and reduce prison sentences.
“The state of California is a very generous, compassionate political jurisdiction,” Brown explained. “When we have to cut spending, that spendingis going to come from programs that aredoing a lot of good.It’snot nice. Wedon’t likeit. But the economy and tax statutes of California make just so much money available.”
Brown has also proposed that 39 state agencies are axed. Some of the agencies on the chopping block include the California Volunteer Agency, California Emergency Management Agency, Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board, Rehabilitation Appeals Board and Department of Boating and Wateways.
Pension woes
A scathing report released by Stanford University provided scary details for the Golden State’s promised pension programs. Californians have promised approximately $500 billion, something the “millionaire’s tax” would not cover. (The new tax would raise around $6.9 billion, but that would help block cuts to K-12 education).
However, even if the state successfully abolishes agencies, raises taxes and cuts education departments, California will still operate in the red due to the pension fund promises.
Something else Governor Brown doesn’t address is California’s overly-burdensome regulations (AB32 is California's own cap & trade law) and it's these taxes that are driving businesses to other business-friendly states.
Without new revenue streams from businesses, the Golden State is at risk of further austerity measures which could cripple any prospects of a bright future.

Mexican panga with illegal immigrants and 2,500 pounds of pot snagged
A predawn interdiction on Wednesday led to the capture of 10 illegal immigrants caught with 2,500 pounds of marijuana on a Mexican "panga" boat along the Ventura County coast just north of Los Angeles.
California National Guardsmen, working in support of the Central California Maritime Agency Coordination Group, initially spotted the vessel offshore and relayed the information to the U.S. Border Patrol. The agents discovered a 27-foot boat loaded with several bales of marijuana. In addition to the marijuana, authorities also seized two vehicles linked to the smugglers.
"This interdiction illustrates our ability to analyze information and execute a collaborative operational plan with our partners to deploy a rapid response to mitigate this threat," said Justin Delatorre, acting assistant chief patrol agent with San Diego Sector Border Patrol.
Agents said four suspects arrived on the panga boat and were immediately taken into custody. An additional six were arrested on the beach landing area. Moving forward Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) will further investigate the maritime smuggling attempt.
"This interdiction clearly shows our joint efforts to target this smuggling activity is having an impact," explained Claude Arnold, special agent in charge for ICE HSI in Los Angeles. "Today's enforcement action should send a strong message to the criminal organizations in Mexico responsible for these incidents in Southern California that we've got them in our cross-hairs."
The apprehension of the maritime marijuana smuggling crew displays the coordination of multi-agencies interdiction of illicit drugs along California’s long coastline.
"Close collaboration with our partners has helped us ensure the success of this operation so we can uniformly keep our streets safe from illegal drugs," said Capt. Roger Laferriere, the commanding officer of Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach. "We look forward to continued success through close partnerships."
The Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean said the partnership with federal agencies leads to safer streets for residents along the coast. "We look forward to continuing to work together to keep our county safe."
Due to the escalating number of maritime smuggling incidents along the coastline, authorities have intensified efforts to target the illegal activity by expanding the use of marine patrols, land-based surveillance with the collaboration of Mexico.

745 new laws in California set to affect all residents
Happy New Year Californians; just when you thought the giving season was over state legislators have another gift for you—new laws.
According to the state’s website, Californians need to review 51 pages containing 745 new laws passed and signed by the Democrat-run Assembly, Senate and Governor’s office.
Some highlights include; The California DREAM Act—illegal immigrants will now be allowed to attend college AND are eligible for taxpayer grant money to pay for tuition and books. Once Governor Jerry Brown signed the DREAM Act into law, a rigorous recall effort has ensued. The effort was spearheaded by Republicans who complain that California colleges face a projected $100 million in recessionary cuts and need to assist citizens first.
Another new law concerns gay rights'. All public schools in California, (many rank near the bottom of the list education-wise compared to other states), will have to teach K-12 students about gay history and rights. This is another controversial law that opponents want to repeal on the 2012 ballot.
Some equally onerous laws come at the expense of residents; restaurants will no longer be allowed to serve shark fin soup; minors can no longer head to the tanning salon for a quick fake bake; gun owners will no longer be able to carry their unloaded weapon outside their homes; the state can no longer sell beer that contains caffeine; residents can no longer sell/give live pets (kittens and puppies) on any street or parking lot.
Now it’s a crime to trick senior citizens into voting differently than they intended. (Wasn’t this an ACORN problem?)
With Obamacare requirements ramping up in California, state lawmakers added more rules and regulations for healthcare providers in the Golden State. Some notables include; no parental consent will be required for girls 12-17 seeking preventive sexually transmitted diseases treatment; all insurance companies must include maternity coverage; insurance companies must provide four months of maternity leave; health care providers must offer behavioral treatment; and child care providers can no longer offer any sugary beverages—for example children are allowed only one juice drink per day, only one percent milk and no artificially-sweetened drinks.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP), who is responsible for roadway safety, said drivers should read over the new driving requirements listed here (new CHP driving laws) “Our hope is by educating the public of these new traffic safety laws in advance, more lives will be saved in the new year,” said Commissioner of the CHP, Joe Farrow.
Some highlights include; Children must ride in either a car seat or booster seat until the age of eight. Drivers are required to stop at a sobriety checkpoint. However, peace officers will be prohibited from impounding a vehicle for 30 days if the only offense by the driver is failing to hold a valid driver license (something illegals are caught doing frequently).
Drivers looking to ease their reckless driving restrictions can install of an Ignition Interlock Device in their vehicle. The CHP added Section 23579 to the Vehicle Code, and authorizes courts to revoke a driver’s license for 10 years if a person is convicted of three or more DUIs.
Californians can now rest knowing their lawmakers recognize exactly how children should be raised, how to shop and what businesses offer only the best for its customers.
Sounds like paradise.

Quadruple New Year’s murder rocks San Diego sleepy seaside community
At approximately 2:20 a.m today, January 1, Coronado Police Department officers responded to a 911 call concerning shots fired inside a residence located at the 1000 block of Park Place, in the city of Coronado.
Officers and the fire department arrived within minutes and immediately found a male lying in the doorway of a residence and determined the victim was dead.
According to a press release; “Officers unsuccessfully attempted to make contact with anyone else inside the residence.” The Sheriff's Department's Special Enforcement Detail (S.E.D. - S.W.A.T.) was requested by officers at the scene in order to secure the residence.
Law enforcement also used a robot to explore the first floor while S.E.D. members searched the second and third floors of the crime scene. Once police officers entered the residence, they found two more deceased males as well as one dead female.
Once the crime scene was secured, Coronado Police handed over the investigation to the Sheriff's Homicide Detail.

Lieutenant Larry Nesbit, of the San Diego Sheriff Department said that although it is early in the investigation, “we do not believe there are any outstanding suspects.”
Nesbit declined to provide any possible motives for the murder of the four victims.
However, investigators from the Coronado Police Department, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Homicide Detail, and Sheriff's Crime Lab will continue to participate in the quadruple murder investigation.
Law enforcement also declined to release any victim’s information, and said the county Medical Examiner’s Office will determine their identities and approximate time of death.
Investigators said details on the quadruple murders are fluid and many leads still need to be verified. They cautioned residents in the sleepy seaside town to call law enforcement with any questions or information regarding the four murders.
The quadruple homicides come on the heels of the mysterious Spreckels Mansion deaths that rocked the quiet seaside community and grabbed national headlines last summer. The famous Coronado Mansion is owned by millionaire Jonah Shacknai, the CEO of Medicis Pharmaceuticals, a successful skincare company based in Arizona. The San Diego Sheriff’s Department determined that the death of six-year-old boy, Max Shacknai was an accident and that his father’s longtime girlfriend, Rebecca Zahau, committed a bizarre suicide after learning the boy may not survive his injuries. While the case remains closed by the San Diego Sheriff Department, Zahau’s family firmly believes Rebecca did not commit suicide and was a murder victim.
Anyone with information about these crimes is encouraged to call Homicide Detail at (858) 974-2321/after hours at (858) 565-5200 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-TIPS (8477).
