The attack on Kerry Sheron in Escondido was despicable. The investigation is on going, but the fact is Conservatives are targeted by radical, violent attackers routinely. It must stop.

Please pray for Kerry Sheron and his family.

[Darrell Issa @DarrellIssa]

Carl DeMaio is a liar and a grifter. He has spent $934,267 he supposedly raised to pass Voter ID in November to bash Republicans in June primaries. Conservative donors did not contribute to his campaigns to fund attack ads against Republicans that are not even running against him.

Carl’s 2026 primary so far: lie about good conservatives, break campaign finance law, grift off conservative donors and impersonate the Republican Party with fake voter guides.

Carl is spending YOUR donation to attack solid conservative Republicans.

[Darrell Issa @DarrellIssa]

I applaud the California Republican Party for calling out Carl DeMaio’s "brazen and unlawful campaign to deceive California voters." He’s smeared and lied about Republicans his whole career and continues to lie about good Republicans today. Carl’s attempted to confuse voters that he speaks for the Republican Party. This action by the CRP makes it absolutely clear– he does not.

I fully endorse the San Diego Republican Leadership Endorsement Guide 🇺🇸

This is the official voter guide of Republican leadership. The leaders on this Big Beautiful Voter Guide will fight alongside President Trump and me to Make America Great Again!

It is the only official voter guide of Republican leadership—do not be fooled by other misleading voter guides claiming to represent me or President Trump.

Statement by Congressman Darrell Issa

Today I’m announcing my enthusiastic endorsement of Supervisor Jim Desmond for Congress - to represent California’s new 48th district.

Jim is not only a personal friend, he’s a true patriot, a Navy veteran, a successful businessman, and has a 20-year record of public service. He understands this community, was born and raised here, and will make a terrific Congressman.

This decision has been on my mind for a while and I didn’t make it lightly.

First, we built the right campaign infrastructure, support has been overwhelming — including from President Trump — and our polling was unmistakable: We would win this race.

But after a quarter-century in Congress — and before that, a quarter-century in business — it’s the right time for a new chapter and new challenges.

Serving in Congress has been the honor of my life, and every day my teams in Washington and California have worked to deliver for our constituents — like most recently gaining the Congressional Medal of Honor for the Secret Soldier of the Korean War, the great Royce Williams.

A point about our campaign on behalf of Captain Williams: For a decade, my team and I waged a nonstop fight for Royce, and we were turned down on his behalf more times than I can remember.

But that all changed this year. President Trump made Royce’s award possible, and when I witnessed the First Lady place the Medal of Honor on my hero, it was more than just a job done. It felt like a career accomplishment.

There is still work to be done throughout 2026 both in Washington and my beloved current 48th District - and as many days that remain, I’ll dedicate each one of them to the people I serve and the indispensable nation I have sworn to protect as a soldier in the Army and as a proud and grateful Member of the People’s House of Representatives.

President @realDonaldTrump pays tribute to 100-year-old Navy legend Captain Royce Williams, an American hero who, in 1952, single-handedly took on SEVEN Soviet fighter planes in a legendary Korean War dogfight, downing FOUR enemy jets while his plane took 263 bullets!

First Lady @MELANIATRUMP presents him with the Congressional Medal of Honor. 🇺🇸

[Darrell Issa @DarrellIssa]

Thank you President Donald Trump.

A President who recognizes heroes, inspires heroes.

Hole. Lee. Sh*t.

“In 1952, then-LieutenantWilliams was serving with VF-781 aboard the USS Oriskanyas part of Task Force 77. On 18 November 1952, on his second mission of the day, while on combat air patrolnear Hoeryong, North Korea, his group of four pilots spotted seven MiG-15soverhead. The other three pilots had to return to the carrier and the MiGs began to fire on Williams, putting him into a one-man dogfight with seven MiG-15s that lasted 35 minutes.[5] It is believed to be the longest dogfight in U.S. Navy history.[3] Commanders on his carrier ordered him away, but Williams had to tell them that he was already fighting for his life.[6] He shot down four of the MiGs and likely hit two others.[7] By the end of the 35-minute period, only one of the MiGs was still in the air with him, and he managed to escape back to his carrier, out of ammunition and having lost his hydraulics. He was uninjured, but 263 holes were counted in his Panther jet.”

[Darrell Issa @DarrellIssa]

All should know of Capt Williams extraordinary service.

[Mark Larson @marklarsonradio]

Thanks for helping to move this forward, Darrell! Congratulations to my dear friend, CAPT Royce Williams on this tremendous honor!

The radicals attacking, disrupting and entrapping worshippers at churches and synagogues must not know the Lord,
for those that do will not be deterred by acts of evil.

ICE Watch determined multiple U.S. ICE agents were attending a church service and dispatched insurgents; when the service ended, Christians were harassed and attacked as they tried to reach their cars — framed by critics as a spiritual war from the left.

[Darrell Issa @DarrellIssa]

California's mileage tax is more than a massive new tax.

It's an attack on small businesses.

It's an attack on rural and suburban communities.

AND it's a tool for future control.

To collect the tax, the government will amass a database of everywhere a car goes.

Church? Political rallies? Gun ranges? Fast food?

Every single person who raided the Minnesota church should be arrested and thrown in jail.

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

BREAKING: Per multiple law enforcement sources, former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested by federal agents in Los Angeles this morning in connection to the storming of a church in Minnesota by anti-ICE agitators.

Mamdani ran as a Socialist. Plans to raise taxes.

Spanberger ran as a Moderate. Plans to raise taxes.

Bottom line:
No matter what the Democrats pitch, they will raise your taxes.

[Darrell Issa @DarrellIssa]

Dems propose banning ICE enforcement in polling places.

The real question is why ICE enforcement would be needed in one.

[Darrell Issa @DarrellIssa]

San Diego tried it.
Sacramento wants it.
I have a federal bill to stop it cold -

No Track, No Tax

Interesting. When battling the cold, natural gas, coal and oil are essential.

[Javier Blas @JavierBlas]

A screenshot of the electricity generation mix in some of the US largest grids, early monring of a Sunday during a cold blast (ISO, SPP, PJM and MISO).

By far, natural gas, coal, and oil are the main sources.
