    Ao Paul Emery who relentlessly tells us he is not a democrat and is a libertarian is a liar. Now what does that do to his credibility? And he says he is a democrat as a aside and kinda forgot to re-register. Sure. So as far as I and perhaps others are concerned, you are fake news and nothing you say is credible. Thanks for proving RR’s and its commenters correct. You “media” types are phony baloney.
    And no I am not looking at you link. Milo has some sexual foibles or fantasies and that is his deal. I am sure you have yours too.

    Fair enough Todd. You recommend he be reinstated at CPAC but refuse to find out what he’s really all about. Good thing for the Repubs that they canned him. He could have gone into his perv rap, that you refuse to know about, and it would have been very embarrassing.

    “An undocumented woman from El Salvador awaiting brain surgery to remove a tumor was taken from a Texas hospital and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Wednesday night, her legal team says.
    Sara Beltran-Hernandez, 26, had been in immigration detention since November 2015 because she did not have proper documentation when she tried to migrate to New York City, according to the New York Daily News.
    The mother of two had been held at Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, since Jan. 26, 2017, while her family members in New York tried to petition for her asylum. But she collapsed at the facility this month after experiencing severe headaches, nosebleeds and memory loss.
    โ€œThey had her tied up from hands and ankles,โ€ said Melissa Zuniga, a paralegal on the case, in a statement. โ€œShe was brought in a wheelchair and is not being given treatment even though her nose continues to bleed and she has told them her head is exploding.โ€

    Why are my cicl rights under attack? LGBTQ people are infecting the body politic of the 99.5% of the normal folks. So I want the government to sue them and leave me and my civil rights alone.
    Paul Emery, you are one odd fellow. You support Takaei and others for their perversions apparently actually carried out, yet are harder (no pun intended) on Milo for his fantasies. And for your information I have seen him interviewed numerous times and I did a post on him as well long ago. As he says a “flaming faggot” can say and act out without reproach except for liberal hypocrites.

    I don’t support Takael Todd because there’s nothing to support him for. I don’t know much about him and he has no relevance in the conversation since as far as I know he’s not on anyone’s appearance agenda. I do think CPAC did the right thing to cancel Milo for their own reputation. More and more is coming out about him and I can’t for the life of me see why they gave him such a prominent spot to begin with. Breitbart is covering their ass and I don’t have a clue about the book deal. Of course you petitioned CPAC to keep him on but that’s your choice. This has nothing to do with free speech. Milo gets it and is laying low for awhile. Don’t worry todd, he’ll make a comeback so you’ll have plenty of chances to hear him. He’s a bright young man and is more of a shock jock than a credible source on anything.

    Sure Paul Emery. Everytime you get boxed into the corner by your own rhetoric or beliefs you claim you really don’t know or support that. Just like saying all this time you are a libertarian while you are really a democrat. Always have an excuse. Well we are on to your ploys. You support Takaei because you don’t condemn him. That is what you say to us. So that is your problem.

    Go California!!
    CALIFORNIA LOVE: Lawmakers in California are expected to enforce strict environmental controls – a preemptive strike against Trump rolling back regulations.
    How long will it take for the exodus from the state to accelerate by businesses which will find adjoining states more profitable, as the Federal Environmental Rules are relaxed and California puts them in state regulations, maybe even turns the screw a bit in the process?
    California tried to get adjoining states to sign up for the Western Climate Initiative and force them to create their version of AB-32 to prevent companies from escaping California to more CO2 emission friendly states.
    When the chaff settled the only members of the WCI were the provinces of Quebec, British Columbia, Ontario, and the State of California. Adjoining states, plus Washington, Idaho, and Utah declared no deal, as the economic hit would be too big. Plus it was an opportunity to cherry pick some California companies who were interested in moving out or at least expanding out of California.
    My guess is those same states will see another opportunity to capture more CA companies as environmental regulations are relaxed in adjoining states, while California is polishing up the environmental regulatory noose for existing companies.

    Bill T at 2:13 – The sad news is not about guns. The sad (and scary) news is we have judges that are that ignorant.
    “Put simply, we have no power to extend Second Amendment protections to weapons of war.”
    Uh – Springfield bolt action .30-06s are now banned?
    The second amendment is all about private citizens having weapons of war.
    ‘A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.’
    This so-called judge thinks a well regulated militia should have bolt action 22s and shotguns. Oh wait, shotguns have been used in war. As have knives, spears, cross bows, clubs, rocks, air rifles and Lord knows what all. But if it’s used in war, we can’t have any at our house.
    This has to be the most dim-witted opinion ever offered from the bench.
    Probably going by the Gore principle that the 2nd A is about ‘hunters’ rights’.
    This judge is the saddest news we can have. He isn’t fit judge toilet paper.

    And one more for tonight. Remember those geniuses in Cali that promised us the new ‘top 2’ primary system would lower campaign costs?
    Doesn’t seem to work.
    http://calwatchdog.com/2017/02/23/california-democrats-spend-significant-campaign-cash-fighting-prop-14/
    And it doesn’t work because campaign costs will continue to rise to match the growing power (and financial power) of govt control over the private sector. The bigger and more powerful govt gets, the more lucrative it is to hold the reins of power in govt. Even if the state starts taking your money at gun point to finance the election of folks you don’t want to be in power, it still won’t slow the cost of campaigning or ‘clean up’ elections. You need votes to win elections and if some one drops by to deliver a certain number of votes in exchange for certain promises if you win, no money has changed hands but the stink is still there.
    Waiting for some one to look at the facts and admit they were wrong.
    Good luck with that. The top 2 in Cali was put in place to get rid of Rs in the general election and the new rules will certainly make sure of that. Along with the ‘winner take all’ in the Electoral College rule means Rs are being excluded from ‘democracy’. From the folks that scream about Rs disenfranchising voters. Total hypocrisy.
    Par for the course.
