[Time for a new sandbox for the weekend. The old one required too much scrolling to get to the most recent stuff. Anybody willing to give any odds on the Comey Vote. Several of you are so sure that Hillary will pull it off that it seems you're willing to bet the ranch on it. I'm just wondering what kind of odds are all those sure-shots willing to give, or are we doomed to receive only repeats of their staid old verbiage? GJR]

There has been near record new registrations with the W’s working the streets and Bernites totally dedicated to making a showing.
Here’s the news piece.
“Bernie Sanders, who said last week that he had not yet studied a California measure to legalize marijuana for recreational use, on Wednesday endorsed the initiative.

“I do not live in California,” the Vermont senator told supporters at a rally here. “But if I lived in California, I would vote ‘yes’ to legalize marijuana.”

Almost Done
Obama said he was going to transform America and he is almost completed his missions, only a few more months to finish the job, guided by Saul Alinsky’s 8-steps from democracy to a socialist society.
Obama quoted him often in his book and Hillary did her thesis on Alinsky. Of the 8-levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a socialist/communist State, the first is the most important; 5 OF 8 ARE DONE, AND THE LAST 3 ARE ALMOST THERE!
1. Healthcare: “Control
Healthcare and you control the People”
DONE!
2. Poverty: Increase the Poverty level as high as possible.” Poor People are easier to control and will not fight
back if the government is providing everything for them to live.
DONE!
3. Debt: Increase the National Debt to an
unsustainable level.” That way you are able to increase Taxes, and this will produce more Poverty.
DONE!
4. Gun Control: Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a
Police State – total local control.
ALMOST THERE, AND WORKING HARD ON IT!
5. Welfare: Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food,
Livestock, Housing, and Income).
DONE!
6. Education: Take control of what People read & listen to; take control of what Children learn in School.
ALMOST THERE!
7. Religion: Remove
faith in God from the Government and Schools. ALMOST THERE!
8. Class Warfare: Divide the People into the Wealthy against the Poor. Racially divide. This will cause more discontent
and it will be easier to Tax the Wealthy with full support of the voting Poor.
DONE!
For the most part, the bases are all covered! We are ripe!

It was 15% THC, the psychoactive get you high component and a trace .04% of CBD.

The headline reads Trump Plus 5 over That Woman, Ms. Clinton. To me, the real real real news is that My Gal is only pulling 37%.. Stop the presses. Only 37%???? Gee, with her credentials and name recognition, how could this be. Impossible. Not even 39%?
Think about it. 13% say they want somebody else besides the two front runners, 7% undecided. Those are low numbers. Thought the undecided and none of the above numbers would be at least double what they are at this time in the race. Include those two for 20%, but still 37% at this stage of her long stellar career shocks even me.
Perhaps this can be explained by the pendulum swinging. First, Trump sucked all of the air out of the Political Universe. Now, the media is giving My Gal her time under the stage lights…..and it is beginning to show.
Trump is still thanking his lucky star that his challenger is a pathetically weak, unlovable, widely distrusted, and, yes, hated candidate who’s coronation was set in stone about 3 years ago. Trump caught. UGE BREAK. A urge break.LikeLike

One of your best posts yet! Hey, I even resemble Gabby. Good one. Short and sweet.
Concerning The NYT’s article, here is my favorite lib on the topic. She has an open mind. Probably secretly wishes for more Mae Wests….I do. Old school rocks!
“Small and blurry in the print edition, the Brewer-Trump photo in online digital format positively pops with you-are-there luminosity. Her midnight-blue evening dress opulently cradling her bare shoulders, Rowanne is all flowing, glossy hair, ample, cascading bosom, and radiant, lushly crimson Rita Hayworth smile. The hovering Trump, bedecked with the phallic tongue of a violet Celtic floral tie, is in Viking mode, looking like a triumphant dragon on the thrusting prow of a long boat. “To the victor belong the spoils!” I said to myself in admiration, as seductive images from Babylon to Paris flashed through my mind. Yes, here is all the sizzling glory of hormonal sex differentiation, which the grim commissars of campus gender studies will never wipe out!”

Bessee, May 18, 9:19pm Sorry, it was shown in court that the plants were high CBD’s of many different varieties. A few plants have higher levels of THC to mix with our CBD’s to get the proper ratios. Funny a test should appear two yeaars later isn’t it? Test our medicine and you’ll see they are predomininatly CBD. We have ratios of 22:1, 12:1, 7:1, and 1:1 as each formula treats different conditions – and none of the medicine is in a form that would appeal to “stoners” so what is your point?

I watched this evening’s Measure W debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters and streamed to the internet by take2.org. It featured Don Bessee taking the Yes on W side and Hezekiah Allen tooke the No on W side.
The first thing I must say is that the audio quality on Take 2’s feed was abysmal. The signal to noise ratio could not have exceeded 40 dB and the microphone levels were either buried in that noise or distorted. Apparently the sound in the room was not much better.
Allen presented relevant facts and indicated that he was all for being reasonable while Bessee’s case was frequently a matter of how Measure W is on par with or more generous than other California counties and other states. I kept thinking of the old saw, ” If all the other kids were jumping off cliffs would that be what you would want to do, too?” It was most gratifying when Allen finally made reference to just that.
One of my issues with W is that it is an effort to cast Ordinance No. 2405 in proverbial stone and I was pleased to hear Allen agrees. He stated that he opposes ballot initiatives in general except as needed to correct previous ballot initiatives. Bessee turned that around with the unwarranted claim that Allen supports ballot initiatives only when they support his side.
Bessee tried on more than one occasion to justify Measure W by claiming that it is just one paragraph. This is, in addition to being irrelevant, not factual. The ballot text is just one paragraph but the full text consists of five sections that fills more than a full page of the sample ballot. Bessee’s claim shows him to be either uninformed or deceitful.
I have to give this one to Hezekiah Allen.LikeLike
