Art Pedroza claims to have broken this story over at the blog that will go unmentioned. Considering how much information Art had, I wonder if Noah Krom wasn’t pushed over the cliff or something. The poor kid is being exploited by a thug who clearly has no respect for the [...]
I don't even know where to begin. There is so much wrong with your view Miss Panther, so I'll do my best to show you exactly what, but it's safe to say that your conclusions are a chaotic mess at best. Here goes:' [...]
Instead of raising taxes on offshore companies they should instead lower taxes for corporations existing solely in the U.S. That is the only way to reduce the size of government and encourage domestic growth simultaneously.
Nobody should be punished with a higher tax rate for trying to minimize costs, but [...]
Most people think that money is not more powerful than the rights of the people. They're wrong. That our rights are not for sale. They're wrong. They think socialism is acceptable in the current climate in a way very similar to those who felt that the PATRIOT Act was acceptable [...]
I proudly present the full length, high quality version of The Obama Deception, a documentary from American patriot Alex Jones. Pay close attention if you voted for Obama because the truth is that you DIDN’T! You didn’t vote for Bush, Clinton, Carter, Nixon, or many others. You voted for their [...]
January 20th, 2009. The swearing in of the United States' first (sorta) African-American POTUS is imminent. The world is heralding the new dawn. Enjoy while it lasts everyone... because 2009 is going to be a bitch!' [...]
Ever notice how when the shit hits the fan (yeah! I can swear over here!) that the whistleblower is immediately discredited? So I’m only going to devote one post to this issue:
Art Pedroza is not what he appears to be.
Art likes to talk about his generous nature and his [...]
While trying to write an opinion on the new Obama administration and their agenda items week before last, I was stunned when their entire agenda on the “change” page suddenly vanished. What the …? After hitting refresh many times, even rebooting my machine, I came back to the same relatively [...]
Say what you will about marijuana. Call it the ‘devil’s weed.’ Bring up ‘reefer madness.’ Tell me you didn’t vote for Prop 215. Spout off whatever propaganda you like, but remember this: the initiative that California voters approved is 12 years old already. So why are dispensaries still illegal in [...]
To our readers:
I hereby resign as webmistress and editor of Orange Juice Blog. In fact, I’m taking Thomas Gordon and Carl Overmyer with me over to The Centrist OC and resetting the layout of this site. I am inviting all of the OJ bloggers as well as our readers to [...]
Sales tax revenues in Santa Ana are dropping quicker than home values as frightened consumers stop spending, exotic car dealerships go out of business, and strip malls lay vacant.
The fees Santa Ana charges developers have disappeared as construction ground to a halt.
Property tax revenues are dwindling as home values decline.
Santa Ana is facing a [...]
Operation Restore Peace, launched in response to Santa Ana’s recent surge in homicides, resulted in the arrest of 85 people, some with gang ties.
I strongly applaud the SAPD for this long overdue response to the epidemic crime problems that face the majority of Santa Ana’s hard working law abiding residents.
The surge in [...]
Did Orange County Supervisor Chris Norby know something we didn’t when he cast his vote for SAPD’s Paul Walters?
Looking back, he may have been right.
The Los Angeles Times has a story about recently appointed Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens crack down on one of our most basic rights.
“the right of [...]
Despite just receiving 5.8 Million Dollars from HUD to be used for neighborhood stabilization, and despite having the highest concentrations of foreclosures in Orange County, The Santa Ana City Council is content to sit on the sidelines and watch vast swaths of this once glorious city decay.
Four of Santa Ana’s [...]
No on Prop 8 just sent me this bulls*&t:
“We achieve nothing if we isolate the people who did not stand with us in this fight. We only further divide our state if we attempt to blame people of faith, African American voters, rural communities and others for this loss. We [...]
Here in yet another example of why some CEO’s should be led off in handcuffs, and Congress should have never voted for ANY sort of bail-out.
Last week, the folks who take Federal bail-out buck at AIG had yet another big bucks bash.
This time it was at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort in [...]

For your consideration:
Over the last two decades, research findings have pointed to disproportionately high rates of suicidal behavior among LGBT adolescents and young adults. Suicide attempts in this population have been [...]
Jasmyne A. Cannick of the LA Times writes:
I am black. I am a political activist who cares deeply about social justice issues. I am a lesbian. This year, I canvassed the streets of South Los Angeles and Compton, knocking on doors, talking politics to passers-by and working as I never [...]
Luckily for me, having my son always helps numb the pain. On Wednesday, I had intended to write up a more in-depth analysis of what happened the night before, but it was his birthday and so I spent it, as well as yesterday, with him. He got a bright red [...]
Barack Obama is the President-elect of the United States. A quick, painless landslide capped off by a particularly ass-kissing speech by John McCain, my friends. No late night. No recounts. No Florida. No Ohio. Ohio, by the way, not shocking me with their selection; we pundits don’t always call them [...]
*drumroll please…*
The Propositions:
Prop 1A: High Speed Rail - No. Ok, we’re in a financial crisis so it’s open season on government spending. It damn well better be. Government spenders have been procreating like rabid, power hungry, fuzzy little bunnies with checkbooks. $20 billion to construct and a billion a year [...]
From No on 8 through Facebook:
We have successfully thwarted a coordinated cyber attack on the No on Prop 8 website. Fortunately, there was no breach in security and we are again able to accept contributions online.
As if that attack isn’t outrageous enough, at a recent Prop 8 rally an official [...]
ACTION ALERT: Stamp Out Censorship
Remember, Red Yellow County is owned by Partisan Media Group, LLC.
Wow! It’s finally happened. I, Sarah Michelle Spinosa, have been banned from both of the other big OC blogs.
What is it that they’re so afraid of that they would gang up on our good friend and [...]
From the L.A. Times to my inbox to your eyes (I guess they’ll have to rename the airport!):

Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens has been convicted of lying about free home renovations and other gifts he received from a wealthy oil contractor.

Today I attended a fundraiser for mayoral candidate Michelle Martinez in the same Santa Ana neighborhood in which my good friend, Orange Juice Blog founder and Ward 3 Council candidate Art Pedroza, who also attended the event, lives. School board candidate Valerie Amezcua was co-headlining.
The combination of media-types and [...]
Is there an echo in here? I think bloggers have been saying this for a while, no? Well, now liberty goes mainstream in this new No on 8 spot that spoofs the popular Apple commercials.
Not only did Apple provide inspiration, they have also donated $100,000 to No on Prop 8 [...]

Discrimination is an American value
Discrimination has been around since the dawn of time. It’s an American value and a family value. Damn those gays and their agenda to change everything, destroy marriage, and indeed destroy all religion, or God forbid remind the voters that religion is faith, not [...]
(John Palacio and Irene Ibarra)
A few weeks back I attended the ECCO Awards dinner. While there I met Santa Ana Unified School District Trustee John Palacio who invited me to attend last night’s annual soiree of the Hispanic Education Endowment Fund at the Anaheim Hilton.
Many local pols were there, but [...]
I was one with the yellow brick road, the streets of gold, and the highway to hell (or as one indigenous to the left coast would say, the ‘freeway’ to hell), and now I have arrived. 3300 miles and I have arrived where exactly? Who the hell knows? Everything looks [...]
