[OK, the last one filled super-fast.  Time to talk about the truck attack in Nice, and what that portends for future easy-to-execute lone wolf terror on our shores.  And why is the lamestream again trying to represent this Muslim as a confused man with family troubles, instead of someone who was organized enough to assemble quite a collection of guns and grenades with which he intended more misery than he delivered?  And then there’s Trump’s announcement of Pence as his Number Two.  And now the coup in Turkey.  We must recall the words of Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, “Islam is Islam; there are no modifiers.  Democracy is the train we ride to our ultimate objective.” gjr]

    Great to see the GOP finally coming together today in their show of unity 🙂
    OMG, its going to fun to hear and watch the booing in prime time this week!
    And thank god they dumped that C-list celeb Tim Tebow for someone much more famous and respected. So its great to see Scott Baio, that famous 55 year old heartthrob from 4 decades past. This guy predates Reagan! LOL. Awesome stuff.

    “Asked about the president’s response to the killing of three police officers in Baton Rouge, La., Trump said: “I mean, you know, I watched the president and sometimes the words are O.K.,” Trump said. “But you just look at the body language. There’s something going on.”

    Oh jon, you are a simple run of the mill leftwing racist. Trump is no racist. But you and your ilk have to make it up. You and Frisch, dog whistles everywhere. But bottom line is Trump is right. When someone says things they truly don’t believe then we can see that body language and ;ack of eye contact. All easy to see in you libs since you all lie so much.
    The convention is fun. I am glad to see some back and forth. The democrats are good commissars though. Bernie sold out all the millions who voted for him and you are so glad he he is back on the reservation.

    Dozer, watch it for me. Somebody has to. I am listening to what Your Gal was just telling the NAACP lthis lovely morning less than 24 hrs after 3 more heros were gunned down in Baton Rouge. Same as what Obama just said today. Hmm.
    Same spiel,….the bodies haven’t even been laid to rest and they start with the obligatory opening state about there is no justification for killing cops, Let me made that clear, blah, blah, blah.. With that pleasantly said and swept aside, they both got down to business. The nation’s police force must show restraint! Blame the cops, lol. Well, at least Obama, Hillary, and the taco stuffer are all on the same page. Reform the police, do not blame the po colored folk ambushing members on The Thin Blue Line.
    About time it’s all out in the open…..hey, let’s federalize the local police….it’s the answer!!! It’s all the dead cops fault. Better keep an eye on those corpuses sneaking out of the grave and running about shooting po colored people just for kicks.
    Yo Dozer we are a little short handed here on the other side due to the recent events and loss of manpower. Be a dear and watch them grave sites for us, will ya. Report anything suspectious. Thank you.

    Yo Dozer. Get with the times, man. Racist is so worm out. The new term is “oven stuffer.” That is the word you are searching for. You got the all the buzz words from Nazi to homophobic, from bigot to Islamophoc all rolled up into a simple two word all encompassing phrase.
    We prefer to be called “over stuffers.”
    Thank you.
    Oh, how many more cops have to die before Obama’s bloodlust is satisfied? Hint: not a trick question. Neither one of us knows for sure, but for an over stuffer like Obama, the answer might be found in the definition of the word. “insatiable”.

    “Oh, and one more thing “America” is not a country you functional idiot, it is a continent; the United States of America is a country.” Frisch to Juvenall
    Ignoring the puctuation error(s), we have counterexamples:
    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/America
    Check out definition 3, Stevie.
    Then there’s song:
    From Sondheim & Bernstein’s America:
    chorus
    “I like the shores of America!
    Comfort is yours in America!
    Knobs on the doors in America,
    Wall-to-wall floors in America!”
    What about America the Beautiful as edited by Ray Charles
    “Oh beautiful, for heroes proved,
    In liberating strife,
    Who more than self, our country loved,
    And mercy more than life,
    America, America, may God thy gold refine,
    Till all success be nobleness
    And every gain devined.
    And you know when I was in school,
    We used to sing it something like this, listen here:
    Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,
    For amber waves of grain,
    For purple mountain majesties,
    Above the fruited plain,
    But now wait a minute, I’m talking about
    America, sweet America,
    You know, God done shed his grace on thee,
    He crowned thy good, yes he did, in a brotherhood,
    From sea to shining sea.”
    I met a number of functional idiots when attending a CalState, many just like Frisch.
    America is more than just a continent, Steve.

    Prediction: By the time we hit a $15 minimum wage, there will be no cashiers
    Now that the Democrats have officially enshrined the Fight for 15 in their platform this year, Hillary Clinton will have a hard time dancing away from it during the general election debates. You’ll recall that she previously had taken a slightly more reasonable approach, calling for that level of pay in high cost of living areas, but not pushing for it in rural locations where it would be immediately crippling to business and employment. Bernie Sanders eventually won that fight and dragged Clinton all the way to the left, so the subject is now one of the planks on which Hillary will stand in Philadelphia.
    With that in mind, conservatives should be prepared to keep the public informed about the long term consequences of this populist position. One of the most likely outcomes which isn’t frequently mentioned in the usual DNC literature is described by Panos Mourdoukoutas at Forbes this week. While remaining in the realm of prognostication for now, the message is plain and simple: by the time these proposed laws go fully into effect, the job of being a cashier in the United States (along with several other occupations) will cease to exist.
    Detail HERE: http://hotair.com/archives/2016/07/19/prediction-by-the-time-we-hit-a-15-minimum-wage-there-will-be-no-cashiers/
    Consider this: More reaction to $15.00 minimum wage?

    Is Gov Brown trying to take Obama “Best Gus Salesman Ever” title?
    BearingArms: Just two weeks short weeks after Governor Jerry Brown showed his hand by signing a number of gun control measures into law, Californians are putting their money down on a sure bet: AR-15 rifles.
    “The California compliant rifles right now are non-existent. There is nothing out there,” said Ray Parga, owner of Del Valle Gunsmithing in Marina, CA.
    Parga told local reporters that sales of AR-15 style firearms are through the roof. Not only are the guns he had in stock completely sold out, but replenishment orders were sold before they’ll ever touch store shelves.

    Speaking of disallowed opinions, Ferguson’s Michael Brown, under the influence and in the immediate aftermath of a strongarm theft from a convenience store, reached into a patrol car to punch the officer and try to take his gun, taunted the officer saying he “was too much of a pussy to shoot” him, and was shot while advancing on the officer who repeatedly told him stop and lay down on the ground.
    The “hands up, don’t shoot” story was related by Brown’s companion at the convenience story theft and uncorroborated by any credible witness, but despite this, it remains a rallying cry of the Black Lives Matter movement.
    If the above ruffles your feathers, try reading the final report of the Federal Justice department under Eric Holder who rushed down there in the aftermath to make sure someone got charged.
    Michael Brown’s mom will reportedly be a guest at the Democratic National Convention to support Hillary. If I’d pulled a Michael Brown at age 18 against a cop 6″ shorter and 2/3rds my weight, my folks would be avoiding the limelight, burying me in a private ceremony and taking every opportunity to apologize for my actions.

    The sock puppet “Jon Dozer”, believed my many to be Stephen Frisch of the so-called Sierra Business Council and/or Jeff Pelline, former Editor of The Union and current publisher of a glossy advertiser that has to be given away to have any circulation at all, is once again committing a classic fallacy… intimating Trump has a connection to Duke or the Klan outside of gotcha! journalism, or that arrest, which Trump does not.
    I’d say Pelline is currently fisting the Dozer sock, only an expert in empty rhetoric (Jeff’s major at Cal) can pull that off so well.

    Words of whizdumb from that six figure CEO of a Truckee 501c3, Stephen Frisch, at a blog where many of us can’t post:
    “The problem i have with sloppy inconsistent thinking driven by ‘opinion’ without applying logic and fair standards is that it makes our ‘progressive’ friends look like kooks, charlatans, and conspiracy theorists”
    That it does, Steve, thanks for noticing. They are kooks, charlatans and conspiracy theorists and that does include both Senum and Ben Emery.
    On a related note, Reinette Senum has identified “Rachel French” posting at the FUE’s as a sock puppet, and Jeffie also lets a certain Sierra College professor to drool under the “Joe Koyote” banner while claiming to require real names only at his blog. How many socks are currently throwing chunks into Jeff’s fan?
    If Jeff didn’t have double standards he’d have no standards at all.

    Gregory, Steve F is miles above Pelline, miles. What I am going to say may not tickle your fancy, but here goes:
    Re: that pesky discrete matter in Nevada City that Pelline wants to go way, yet he is now the only one talking about it. Go figure.
    Steve F laid out the very best argument articulating what I feel concerning the local dust up that did not remain confined to the city limits of The Berkely of the Foothills per normal.
    I could not have said it better, been more even kneeled, or more articulate than Steve’s one post at Pelline’s blog. I wrote a 100 times the words and 20 times the comments, yet failed to get it out the way Steve did. He gets a star in my book. Then again, since I leave the AWG stuff to you and Russ and those who are in the know, I am twice removed and more objective than you when it comes to Steve. I give him a big Good Job, Mr. Steve. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Of course this kudos is buried in the “old sandbox”. 🙂

    Yeah, I may be deleted too.
    I think that Reinette’s original comment that, “They have obviously been given directives to go out there and kill,’ is still the operative comment. For someone to ‘give directives’ there must be premeditation, and sans presented proof of premeditation is irresponsible talk, especially for a public official who oversees a law enforcement agency. It was an ill-conceived inflammatory and conspiratorial comment, which is indicative of deeper oft demonstrated thought processes.
    With that said, and as I said here, I don’t believe the response against Reinette’s business and her person was warranted and are bordering on disgusting. People should be secure in holding even unpopular beliefs.
    But then again, I don’t think chem-trails are real, there is almost no evidence that genetically modified food is inherently dangerous, I don’t think there is a conspiracy to control the media, I vehemently disagree with recommending that people not get vaccinated, and I don’t believe that the profit motive is inherently corrupt or that it inherently corrupts people or processes.
    I do question people (un-named) left, right or center, male or female, of any race, creed or color, who make factually unsupportable statements and then defend them with nonsense like the idea that “all opinions are equal” which I have seen all to often here and on other Nevada County forums.
    Thinking all ‘opinions’ are equal is the same thing as thinking science does not exist, evidence is irrelevant, facts and knowledge are irrelevant. It is sloppy, undisciplined and irrational thinking.
    An opinion by definition is “a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.”
    All opinions are not equal; opinions supported by evidence, fact and knowledge are superior.
    If you don’t want your ‘opinions’ deconstructed don’t post them on public forums. If you state an ‘opinion’ you should be prepared to support it with facts, knowledge, research, logic, etc.
    I also question the practice of, after stating an ‘opinion’ publicly, painting people who deconstruct that ‘opinion’ as bullies. We should be responsible for what we believe and even more responsible when we state it publicly. We should also have the ability to say without shame, “upon further evidence and reflection I have changed my opinion.”
    Facts exist, science exists, and there is such a thing as truth. Granted truth may change as new facts come in, and we should be constantly searching for new facts, but in the mean time we can only act on the facts we have, and seek more.
    Belief without facts is actually emotion. Lampooning such beliefs is not libel it is art.
