[Does anyone have an idea about what the FBI is still doing in its investigation of Hillary.  With the IG's finding it would appear that there's now an overwhelming amount evidence to indict her for multiple crimes.  The investigation itself could continue.  But shouldn't Director Comey take what he has to DoJ and get them started on the next step in the process?  Liz Warren needs time to prepare, and so does ol' Joe.  gjr]

    Those Libbies need their pee-pees wacked but good. It is probably just a white liberal and an Islamic who walked into a bar, became good friends and now are playing Rump Rangers and Islamics while drunk posting you. Silly boys….. Look what they did to poor Gaddafi. Corned holed him to death.. Not my cup of tea, but that’s their culture on on the left. Don’t let them take up free rent in your head. Tell them that this stool is taken, you man killer, you.
    Reminiscent of when the Clintonistas glued the computer keys down on government owned property on Bubbas last day of office. And those were members the “good” party. Apple don’t fall far from the tree.

    Wow, you continue to have some major anger issues there, ole’ Bill. Getting one’s self all wrapped up in a hard right political framework for every issue will do that to ya. Meditation, yoga, some cardio, and a good night’s rest does wonders. It does for me!

    Hey Greg,
    True that most normal Americans are moderate on balance. Conservative fiscally generally and socially liberally generally. The only people ranting and foaming about hard line positions are the small minority on the far right. Wow, Trump gets 30% of about 25% of the electorate. Congratulations to the real estate developer turned TV star and Catskills comedian! Good luck gaining half of the entire American electorate :).
    Good evening…

    Thanks for the advise there John. I love being angry. Love it. I am in great company. The left, the right, and the middle are all pissed off. I can’t get enough of that good stuff. Oh, on the extreme hard core radical left, they call it “enthusiastic” crowds. Sure, but they be angry. Anger is a fantastic touchstone for change. Great motivator. If it wasn’t, then people would not get their voices heard, then their spirits get crushed, then they surrender to the authoritarians, and even not trust government no more. Yes, silly notion. Boy, them German, Swedish, Danish, British, and French hot babes are quite angry with their government now. What got into them?
    Yes indeed, a good night’s rest is a wonderful experience, John. So refreshing. I know many of us old smelly farts that have not been able to sleep through the night for 38 years or 45 years with our busted up bones, shrapnel in our spines, and tornup shot up parts. Not one darn night of interrupted slumber. Oh, to be young again.
    Hey, I got a hold of some internal polling and it kinda says that 8% of the registered Dem voters in NH say they will not vote!! Thinking that was an error and the question was framed wrong or the answer should have been “undecided”, I dug deeper and found out on another patch of internal polling that…..drumroll please….20% of the registered Dems say they Will Not vote. Want another choice I suppose. I don’t believe that polling for a second. It can’t be true. If it is, then Hillary and Col. Sanders need to get their people angry…real angry, and get em all stirred up and off their flabby buttocks and to the caucuses. And don’t forget to sign a Hillary pledge card. Her rallies are bringing the house down. And boy is she ever angry since being a zillion points ahead of the pack less than a month ago. That will make me sleep good tonight.
    Hey, not all was lost today. How about the New England Patriots today?? Geez, I bet it’s quiet in the Northeast tonight after they were counting their free range chicken before they hatched. Them folks are not angry, just depressed. Very depressed. They need to get all riled up in that corner of the nation, or in the very least get used to losing.

    “Jon”, I’ll not insult everyone’s intelligence by suggesting you actually believe what you wrote at 10:07. I’ll also continue with the assumption that you are indeed Stephen Frisch, CEO of that wretchedly misnamed rentseeking 501c3, the Sierra Business Council which is not a council of businesses.
    You describe yourself as a moderate… and when you get column inches in The Union, you actually sound like a moderate writing about water policy. Then when pressed in the blogosphere, you admit you think every single privately owned residential well in the state should have a meter in order to send the private well user a bill for every gallon of the state’s water they use. Moderate? Hardly.
    In the aftermath of a horrible shooting you proclaim you will be travelling to Washington DC to help pass the gun ban du jour. Moderate?
    http://www.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/187511/american-public-opinion-guns.aspx
    Hardly.
    Not ever being registered GOP I’ve never voted in a GOP primary and this year will be no different, but the GOP, a minority party in California, has a majority of governorships, a majority in the House and a majority in the Senate, and if Friedrichs v. California Teachers Ass’n goes down as eveyone expects, the GOP may well again be a player in Sacramento and in a number of other state governments since about half the states enforce agency fees and unions across the country are partisan Democratic institutions.
    It isn’t easy being Green and as soon as the expected post El Nino cooling hits, it will be even harder being green when it causes average moderates to pay ever higher rates for less and less energy… but only in California.
    We live in interesting times.

    State of Jefferson: Up to Nevada County Voters?
    Eddy Garcia writes in an email:
    But, thanks to the untiring efforts of your Steering Committee and volunteers, next Thursday January 28th at 10 AM, proudly wearing our green t-shirts we will deliver to the Nevada County Elections Office over 5,500 signatures requesting that our Board of Supervisors put the State of Jefferson proposition on the ballot so that the citizens of Nevada County can express their opinion on whether our County should become part of the effort to form a new state where we would be guaranteed a voice in the decisions that shape our lives and the future of our children.
    Tomorrow, Tuesday, we will also be addressing our Board of Supervisors during public comment time at 9:05 AM to inform them about the success of our signature gathering campaign.

    It is going to be an interesting election season. My guess is the County will delay the certification, forcing the ballot to November where it will be buried in multiple initiatives. If the County certified the proposition signatures in the required time it could be on the June ballot, where it would have a better chance of passing, as the voter turn out will be smaller, giving the proponents a better chance at passing. Stay Tuned.

    Oakland Minimum Wage UP, WalMart OUT.
    Wal-Mart announced Jan. 15 it will close 269 stores globally, including 154 locations in the United States—affecting about 10,000 associates across the nation.
    “The minimum wage in the city of Oakland played a factor, was one of the factors, they considered in closing the stores,” Oakland City Councilman Larry Reid told the San Francisco Chronicle.
    “They wouldn’t go into any specific details in terms of their rationale for closing the store,” Reid told ABC 7 News. “But this store has been very successful for Wal-mart.”

    Well, in Washington DC they raised the minimum wages to $15.00 and WalMart is closing stores and will not build two promised stores in poor neighborhoods. Raising the minimum wages in poor communities has some unintended consequences. One of those consequences is businesses head for the exit, they can find more business friendly locations, especially large corporations with large footprints. Businesses mission is to make money for stockholders, not community charity.

    Nothing says, “…and they left as good friends” like the rape of three teenaged Pakistani Christian girls.

    “This caused an immediate change in the demeanour of the boys who became more aggressive and started to threaten the girls to enter the car or to be physically forced in. Terrified of the increasingly dangerous situation they were in the girls started to run in a fit of panic. This only enraged the young Muslim men further, one of them shouted out at the girls, he said: “How dare you run away from us, Christian girls are only meant for one thing, the pleasure of Muslim men.”

    Ok, does ANYBODY find it weird that Obama has called on Bernie to meet with him at the White House tomorrow for a nice one on one? Hmmm. I can only speculate that Obama has something on his mind. Probably nothing to do with the FBI investigations into Espionage Act violations or using the Foundation as a personal slush fund for Chelsea and her mother. Who knows what will be said in the meet and greet.
    Obama meets once a month for lunch with the FORMER DNC chairperson for a chat. Obama has not meet once with Debbie Whatshisname Segerant Shultz since 2011, after the Dems got “shellacked” (per Obama) and he tried to replace Debbie. Debbie countered that if he tried, she would claim Obama was declaring war on women. Doubt that will be the topic.
    So, what is President O up to? Pressure The Bern to drop out? Doubtful. Bernie is doing his last hurrah and is too much like Trump to be bought….I hope.
    Maybe the will be discussing race relations, or the recent snow storm. Or maybe a combination of the two.

    BillT 720am – Well Mr Tozer, since you raised the question, let me add my take –
    Big O: Hello Bernie, good of you drop by, have a seat.
    Sen Bernie: Good day Mr President, what do you have on your mind?
    O: Let’s get right to the short strokes Bernie. You and I know that you’re not electable, but you have identified and stirred up a shitpot full of irate folks who are eating your socialist screed lock, stock, and barrel. I just got a little note from Comey that Hillary is leaking more than a little bit of oil. In fact, what he’s about to put on Loretta’s desk will definitely cause Hillary to relapse with dizzy spells and whatnot, all due to the ‘fall’ she had way back when. In short, Hillary will blow a tire.
    Bernie: Gee, that’s too bad. I’m sorry to hear that.
    O: Well yes, but here’s the deal. Everyone’s been keeping an eye on that situation, and now we have ol’ Joe starting to polish up on his old campaign speeches, and Lizzy is chomping at the bit ready to noodle with you about how you might support her announcement and escort your crowd over to her camp. And then there’s my current SecState and proud exemplar of the mortician’s art; he also thinks he might have one more go left in him.
    Bernie: You really don’t think that I can be elected Mr President?
    O: Not a chance Bernie, but you now have become some sort of kingmaker. And if we win in November, you are going to come out real fine as a leading member of the new Democrat administration. You can bank that one.
    Bernie: Well Mr President, let me think that one over, I kinda had my heart set on really pulling off that ‘fundamental transformation’ thing that you started, and …
    O: Bernie, there’s nothing to think about. When one or more of those war horses come out of the chute, your chances for the nomination, never mind the election, go out with yesterday’s paper. This is your chance to shape things after we button up Hillary’s new jumpsuit and send her on her way. I can even give you a couple of juicy tidbits that will let you drive the last nails into that bag’s coffin, and guarantee your role in the country’s future. Otherwise …
    Bernie: You make a lot of sense Mr President …
    O: (punches intercom button) Valerie, call Senator Warren and set up a meeting for next week. Good talk Bernie. We’ll see you next week and tie up any loose ends.

    Not bad. I was watching Madame Secretary starting to tac to the left to get some separation between her and Our President, then all of a sudden she is kissing Obama’s behind. He meets with her often. Big O probably likes to snap his fingers and Hillary rushes right on over to plant her rosy red lips on His Presidental royal round behind. She was been a naughty girl colluding with Sydney and going behind his back. She better stay on O’s good side for now. Don’t want an October surprise, now do we?
    The dirty word of the season is “establishment”. No one wants to be tied to The Establishment or the Party Establishment from either party. That be a no-no per conventional wisdom. And nobody is running as an Obama 3rd term canadate per conventional wisdom….until now. Hmmmm. Well, Hillary certainly has ambition I can say with confidence.
    Guess Cruz is an outsider. Anyone that called Mitch McDonnel a LIAR point blank on the Senate floor has earned his outsider stripes, IMHO.
    So, we have a 3rd termer in Hillary running as an Establishment insider. South Carolina must be on her mind. Jimmy had Georgia on his mind. So did Ray Charles.
    Fun to see the DNC show its true colors. Panic time, then frantic time, now throw together another unscheduled debate ASAP.

    More on the systemically unemployed from a reader and correspondent –
    Nearly 17 percent of young adults age 16-29 don’t have a job, aren’t going to school or participating in employment training, an army of 10.2 million “detached” Americans down on their luck and a potential source of social unrest, according to a new Pew Research Center report.
    “Teens and young adults were among the groups hit hardest by the global financial crisis. And while many young people have since regained their footing – as employees, students or both – there are still millions in the U.S. and abroad who are neither working nor in school. Though sometimes referred to as ‘disconnected’ or ‘detached’ youth, globally those young people often are called ‘NEETs’ – because they are neither employed nor in education or training,” said Pew.
