The House of Representatives immigration group seems to have an immigration bill. At least in concept. We have yet to see text.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) has only been in the Senate a short time, but he knows what it takes to do the most important thing a Senator [...]
We have nowhere to go … at least not within most of Northern Virginia. Taxes keep going up. Federal, state, and local. This past week the Fairfax County government agreed to increase property taxes. What about the Republicans?
Just one of three Republicans on the Fairfax County county board opposed the increase, [...]
Some conservatives in this town take issue with the POLITICO’s editorial leanings. At times, present company included. However, it is a good publication. The folks who started it are among the best reporters in this town and they understand how public policy and news works. Take immigration.
A few days ago POLITICO published an piece [...]
I always enjoy reading Thomas Sowell’s writings. He is clear thinker and author. This is especially true on economic and political issues, as well as on matters pertaining to the race in America. Sowell recenlty granted the folks at Newsmax an exclusive interview in which he talks about RNC outreach efforts:
Sowell tells [...]
If you’ve read these pages since we started the blog in 2007, you know that I’m no fan of ethnic-based politics. Especially not for the Republican Party. Search for “ethnic” or “Hispanic” and you’ll see why. I read that RNC Growth & Opportunity Project report. Again. I’m more convinced than the first time that [...]
Maybe it is our South Florida upbringing, tempered by more than two decades now of Virginia common sense, but the folks I’ve worked with through the years in the GOP and Congress tend not to like to air our mistakes in public. Why give our political enemies ammunition? But for two people involved with the drafting [...]

I studied law at one of the few law schools in the country, and the only one in the metropolitan Washington, DC area, that places a heavy emphasis on the study of [...]
The following Guest Dispatch hails from the West Coast. You can learn more about John Flores by visiting his first post on our site, here. If you have never seen A Man for All Seasons, do so this weekend. What a great story. As John says in his post, More was dedicated to [...]
Another inauguration weekend. Many of my Republican friends have left the area. They are avoiding the tourists and the throngs of Obama Administration supporters that are gathering to celebrate four more years. Some, well, some are just bitter that Romney lost.
Alright. I wish the other guy had one. However, I enjoy the ceremony of [...]
Our weekly Guest Dispatch hails from the West Coast. John Flores’s first post on DC Dispatches was late last year. It was a good read. You learn more about him, here. John’s first dispatch for the new year, How We Got Here: According to Me, is a personal tale about his family’s experience growing [...]
This week’s Guest Dispatch post comes from Arthur Freyre, an attorney and conservative activist in South Florida. Next week the 112th Congress will tackle its last item of legislative business, finding a solution to the fiscal cliff that, if there is no agreement between the political parties, will result in mandatory federal [...]
This week’s Guest Dispatch is brought to you from the West Coast and a former candidate for Congress, John Flores. I met John many moons ago while working at the Republican National Committee. He’s good people, a great American. John ran in a very tough, Democratic-leaning Congressional seat. Twice.
While we knew it would be a [...]
