GOP Sheriff Chad Bianco's wife starts nonprofit after dire night for Republicans

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco’s wife is launching a new 501(c)(4) nonprofit to energize statewide conservatives as California Republicans cast blame and jockey for leadership in the wake of a national and statewide blue wave election. Denise Bianco, who has never held office but who helped fundraise through merchandise sales during her husband’s gubernatorial campaign, will serve as president of the California Action Network. “Legally speaking,” the sheriff will have no role in the new organization, according to the group’s chief operating officer, Jack Belgrade. Still, the sheriff is set to appear at an upcoming event focused on the nonprofit. It will aim to build on the enthusiasm of grassroots supporters who backed Bianco during his fourth-place finish in the June primary, according to the group’s vice president, Joy Miedecke. “The name ‘Bianco’ is very important in this because people have faith in him,” she said in an interview. Belgrade said the group will use some strategies popularized by progressives — including third-party ballot collection and a strategy called relational organizing — to mobilize California conservatives. That includes a new app set to launch in January in which conservative voters can nudge people in their contact lists to vote through

Chino Hills Pastor Draws CAIR-LA Rebuke After Election Sermon

Pastor Jack Hibbs told his Chino Hills church that the republic ended on Election Day, and that 255 Muslims elected that Tuesday cannot swear allegiance to the Constitution.

Remembering Ysmael Villegas, Riverside County’s First Medal of Honor Recipient

This Veterans Day, let’s remember Riverside County’s first Medal of Honor recipient, Ysmael Villegas. Staff Sgt. Villegas showed extraordinary courage during the Battle of Luzon in the Philippines, a crucial battle in the Pacific theater of World War II. On March 20, 1945, Villegas took out a series of Japanese entrenchments in the midst of a firefight on the Villa Verde Trail, a key route through the Caraballo Mountains, a range which helped the occupying Japanese maintain control over the island. Villegas died that day while storming the sixth and final Japanese stronghold. His compatriots rallied to overcome the Japanese forces that day and would soon take control of Luzon. Later that year, President Harry Truman awarded Villegas the Medal of Honor posthumously.
