Dana Watch: Throwing Some ‘Shady’
Harley Rouda, the Democrat challenging 15-term incumbent Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Putin’s Slim Jim), “outsourced American jobs to China”; made “millions of dollars from sweatshop labor”; paid those workers “$5 a day,” amounting to $35 per week because they toiled “seven days a week”; and “got rich while Americans lost their jobs.” Those are the allegations […]
Dana Rohrabacher Gets “Handeled” by the Tune “Har-ley Rou-da”
In these very pages (virtual and otherwise), Vern Nelson has been referred to as “a humorless, knee-jerk Democratic Party loyalist.” As everyone knows, we have never been wrong. However, we must admit to getting a chuckle out of Nelson’s latest project. I know, snowflakes. The source of the guffaw involves Nelson’s lyrics and piano playing, […]
Dana Watch: R.I.P., GOP?
The FBI, Secret Service and U.S. intelligence agencies in 2015 blamed sophisticated attacks of computers at the State Department and other sensitive parts of the White House on Russian hackers who were likely working for that country’s President Vladimir Putin.

Dana Watch: My Man Manafort
Because of the multiple felony convictions of Paul Manafort, Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Putin’s Slime Bucket) says he will donate to a local charity the $1,000 Donald Trump’s former campaign manager donated to the congressman . . . in 2013.

Dana Watch: Hack Attack
For months, polls showed Dr. Hans Keirstead was the candidate to beat in June’s 48th Congressional District primary race, and he was indeed the top Democrat during much of the final vote count.

Dana Watch: Clone Wars
Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Putin’s Pearl Necklace) is the most endangered “Trump clone” in Congress. That’s the opinion of Mother Jones magazine’s Dan Spinelli, who on Aug. 9 unveiled a “guide to the Trumpiest lawmakers in Washington—and how likely they are to lose.” According to the San Francisco-based magazine’s publishers, “Mother Jones was founded as a […]
Dana Watch: Raising McCain
ABC’s The View made a “hot topic” July 16 out of Sacha Baron Cohen’s series Who Is America? (This space also did so July 16 online and July 20 in print.) On that show, which had premiered the night before on Showtime, the comedian posed as an Israeli anti-terrorism expert pitching his “Kinder-Guardians” initiative, which […]
Dana Watch: Cracks Are Showing
While touring a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Irvine on July 20, Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Putin’s Baby Cage) was ready to spout off to a reporter about those dastardly illegals, but the journo had another issue on his mind. By the time Rohrabacher’s bodacious beer belly crossed the Irvine city line, […]
Dana Watch: Browder Beating
Let us return to that private meeting of the U.S. House of Representatives’ Republican leadership in June 2016, when House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) told his colleagues, “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.” There were denials initially about that having been said about Russian President Vladimir Putin, Representative Dana Rohrabacher […]

Dana Watch: Riggy Rants
Before he was a Costa Mesa mayor and city councilman, Jim Righeimer was the campaign manager for Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Putin’s wet nurse)—which only adds to the sting of Riggy’s recent takedown of his former boss for the conservative National Review. Although Hillary Clinton carried the 48th Congressional District in the November 2016 presidential election, […]

On June 13, which was eight days after he received more votes than any other candidate in the 48th Congressional District primary election race, Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Putin’s ballot box) drew a crowd to Laguna Beach.

Russian Doll Billboard with Putin, Trump, Rohrabacher and Baugh is Unveiled Today
UPDATE, MAY 18, 9:05 A.M.: The following arrived in my inbox this morning: This statement is incorrect: “Baugh, the former state assemblyman … is currently a fan of “Calexit,” the California version of Brexit. The U.K. strategy involves pulling out of the European Union, while Calexit would break California into up to six distinct states.” […]
Dana Watch: Dems vs. Dems
Dana Watch previously exposed some of the intrigue involving 48th congressional district incumbent Dana Rohrabacher (R-Putin’s erector set) and his Republican rivals Scott Baugh, a former protégé, and Paul Martin, who is endorsed by the Russian leader’s great foe, chess champion Garry Kasparov. But there are also plenty of machinations on the Democratic side of […]
