How conservative is Ramona, Calif.?
At the Turkey Inn, the towns oldest watering hole, theres a portrait of President Trump in a place of honor above the cash register. Were just a good, down-home blue-collar bar, bartender Erin Smidt said. Lots of vets and military, and lots of people mad at the NFL for not airing the national anthem.
Across town, at the VFW post, theres a Jane Fonda target on the mens urinal.
A couple of years ago, Isis Fuller Figure Fashion, a womens clothing boutique in downtown Ramona, closed its doors after locals harassed its owners over the name. The shopkeepers, an English mother and daughter, had named the store after the Egyptian goddess.

"Friends, for the latest updates from Americas Toughest Sheriff on the Obama-initiated, full-scale foreign invasion of illegals from south of the border NOW UNDERWAY in Maricopa County, AZ (and elsewhere), Arpaios all-volunteer posse, the Obama birth certificate forgery investigation, Sheriff Joes tremendously successful jail inmate policies ranging from male chain gangs, bans on smoking, coffee, movies, pornography, and unrestricted TV all the way to the (WORLD FAMOUS) pink underwear and baloney sandwiches Sheriff Joe provides for his tent city in the desert inmates, DONT MISS THIS!
Not only does Sheriff Joe understand how to fight dangerous criminals AND WIN, he understands how to defeat a far craftier and more vicious foe POLITICIANS! Hes been under relentless investigation since Day One of Obamas first term. Joes response to this constant harassment has been to throw his facilities and his files wide open with confidence to every new thrust of these tag-team fishing expeditions. Not one shred of evidence has yet been uncovered to indicate there ever has been anything improper. What does THIS tell us about this man, what hes up against, WHOS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LAW AND WHOS NOT?
