San Diego County: Money from billionaire George Soros is going to support DA candidate Jones-Wright
[San Diego Union Tribune]He's doing this across the nation to build a fifth column
Here’s hoping his money is just as wasted this time was it was for the presidential election.
The district attorney's race in San Diego is heating up with news that billionaire George Soros is making television ad buys in support of Democratic candidate Geneviéve Jones-Wright.

A review of Federal Communications Commission records shows that the Soros-funded California Justice and Public Safety PAC is planning to air commercials on at least two San Diego-area news stations. Federal documents show that the political committee has made plans with Fox 5 to broadcast commercials, as well as with KUSI. The KUSI deal was worth $39,660. It's unclear if a deal has been finalized with Fox 5.

State campaign finance records show that the California Justice and Public Safety PAC has received $275,000 in contributions, all of which came through two donations by Soros.

A new website launched by Republican Summer Stephan, the appointed incumbent, associates Soros with the far-left group Antifa. The website ThreatToSanDiego.com features a photo of Soros superimposed over an image of Antifa demonstrators. Also on the site's homepage, under the headline "Who does Soros support?" is another photo of what appear to be Antifa demonstrators burning an American flag.

Antifa, short for "anti-fascist," is a fairly disorganized group which gained notoriety in the U.S. after violent clashes with the so-call "alt-right" in Berkeley last year.

The website says Soros is supporting Jones-Wright as "the anti-law enforcement candidate for D.A."

#1 Let's observe the will of the California Voters. They make their decisions with their votes. Then they can live with the consequences.

Like Baltimore is living with their choices. It IS fair.

( oh, by the way, where are Saddam and Khadaffy each buried? Or were they EVER buried? Does anybody know? )

#2 The Democrat political ads for congressional seats we've been seeing in San Diego recently are bashing Trump for all they're worth. Trump is the issue. They are extremely shrill and nonsensical. One of the candidates is Sarah Jacobs, related to Irwin Jacobs who is the founder of Qualcomm and big time contributor to Baraq Obama among others. Sarah says she wants to get corporate money out of politics. Really?Well, that's what she says.

And then there are the gubernatorial candidates...If you think Brown was bad wait'll you get load of Gavin Newsom.

So far the Republicans have been laying low. Dunno if they're saving it for June or if they've given up.
