   Spenseville refuge near Beale has some pigs but they are pressured enough to remain primarily nocturnal. Pigs can wreak havoc in people’s gardens and lawns and have been pretty destructive on some properties on and near Perimeter Road. If you know any folks that way you’ll likely get permission. Most residents will ask that you use a bow rather than a firearm while shooting near their neighborhood. A MUCH better bet for pigs is in Sonoma and Lake County and in the hills south of Monterey Bay. Unless you have access to private land, it is largely a mix of luck and paying your dues until you cross paths with a pig on public land. Good luck!

   Panicky, vindictive and self absorbed was how she was described both as First Lady and later as Secretary of State……exactly the sort of qualities the we want in the leader of a fading, dysfunctional empire. She should have stayed a senator where she could have indulged in her Mikulskiite inclinations with no fear of opprobrium and couldn’t by herself screw the country up to any great degree.

    Yeah Don. Also Trump is surging which has the GOP establishment in panic mode. He’s their worst nightmare.
    Politico Reports:
    “What happens to the party if he wins?
    With Trump as its standard-bearer, the GOP would suddenly be asked to rally around a candidate who has been called by his once and former primary foes “a cancer on conservatism,” “unhinged,” “a drunk driver … helping the enemy.” A prominent conservative national security expert, Max Boot, has flatly labeled him “a fascist.” And the rhetoric is even stronger in private conversations I’ve had recently with Republicans of moderate and conservative stripes…….

    Fox reports:
    Trump hits a high of 39 percent among Republican primary voters, up from 28 percent a month ago. The increase comes mainly from men, white evangelical Christians, and voters without a college degree — and at the expense of Carson.

    Don and others
    The thing to remember about Trump and Cruz is that they are hated by the Republican establishment and particularly by the big money folks-National Chamber of Commerce, Wall street, international corps etc etc. they know they can work with Hillary because they got along so well with Billy boy and they both can both be bought. I’m not sure you can buy Trump and that makes him a threat. The establishment in both parties hate populism because it involves passionate followers (Tea Party etc)
    Newt never made the cut because he’s actually a conservative intellectual with real principals and a practical way of looking at solutions (immigration for example which sunk him in 12) and a brilliant man.
    If Cruz gets the nomination he’s going to have to answer every time that if local police stop someone who is an undocumented immigrant they will be responsible for sending him to immigration cops and shipped out of the country even if they may have children here, a good job and have lived a peaceful life for 20 years. The majority of Americans won’t buy that population. Rubio is the Pubber the Dems fear the most for sure that has a chance at the nomination. Bush is headed for Perryland and the rest don’t have a chance. The Repubs have a sure winner with Kasich and Rubio (VP) because they would surely carry Ohio and Florida but Kasich is a Reagan Conservative and that won’t qualify as being Conservatively Correct these days. That ticket would scare the crap out of the Dems but it will never happen. What is happening is qualified Conservatives such as Graham, Bush, Kasich and Perry are passed over because they are not radical enough for the hungry crowds who need to be fed raw meat to satisfy their hunger. The problem is that while they may be a slim majority of the Pubbers they are a distinct minority of the voting electorate as a whole and will not win head to head with Hillary once the campaign is just down to two parties.
    So Trumpers have a good time and if you win remember he is a dream come true for the Dems.

    CalWatchdog: CA breaks gun sales records
    Californians have drawn national attention by buying more guns in the wake of the terror attacks in San Bernardino.
    “Californians have already bought a record number of firearms in 2015, including major spikes in sales on Black Friday and the days after the San Bernardino attacks,” reported the San Jose Mercury News, citing new federal and state data on the sales. “Firearms purchases in California triggered 1.51 million federal background checks in the first 11 months of the year, breaking the previous annual record of 1.47 million set last year,” the paper added.
    The reaction to the San Bernardino shootings was swift, with “as many as 6,000 guns being sold a day in the days after two jihadists massacred 14 people,” according to Fox News. “Figures provided by the California Department of Justice to FoxNews.com show that in the four days after the massacre, there were 20,664 sales, compared to only 12,649 from Nov. 29 to Dec. 2.”

    I think Don is referring to local elections around Pot cultivation. He fails to note that the recent new cultivation laws signed by the governor which legallizes cultivation for medical pot has the endorsement of Calif law enforcement since they played a major role in the negotiations that led to the new legislation. It’s a whole new ball game folks.
    ““This new structure will make sure patients have access to medical marijuana, while ensuring a robust tracking system,” Brown wrote in his signing message. “This sends a clear and certain signal to our federal counterparts that California is implementing robust controls not only on paper, but in practice. He noted that some of the standards, including the licensing system, don’t take effect until Jan. 1, 2018. But, he said, “state agencies will begin working immediately with experts and stakeholders on crafting clear guidelines, so local government, law enforcement, businesses, patients and health providers can prepare and adapt to the new regulated system.”
    An estimated 1,250 medical marijuana dispensaries are operating in the state, with sales of about $1.3 billion, according to industry groups.”

    After reading Paul and others’ glee over the Republican Party’s dilemma about the Trump Problem, I also rejoice for different reasons. Tear down the house. All the articles about the wailing and gnashing of teeth by the “real Republican Party establishment” is music to my ears. And the media hyperventilating over what Trump is doing TO the party (complete with convential wisdom and feigned concern over their buddies the Republicans) is fantastic news. Take them down Donald, grind them into the dust I say.
    Fish posted a great placard that said something like “Trump is the murder weapon and the target is the Republican Party” House cleaning time for those of us who are tired of being taken to the cleaners. A kind of in-party “consent of the governed” rebellion. Then the murder weapon will be used on Hillary with help from mainstream Democrats, if any are still out there.
    Never underestimate the enemy, Jon. A pissed off electorate can move mountains and ideology is no match for deep seated widespread anger which is seething from sea to shining sea.
