[One of our daughters is visiting this weekend and we decided to take in the gun show at fairgrounds today.  The entire show fit into the Amaral Center and was very well attended; in fact there were actually too many people there back to back and belly to belly.  But the show itself was a bit sad – not enough shooting hardware.  No major manufacturers showing off their line, the reason being that gun makers are not sending as much of their new stuff to California to be put through the regulatory and testing hoops to make sure they are up to snuff in a state that really wants to confiscate every last gun from civilian hands.  Another sign of the times.  gjr]

    Donald Trump’s Call For Millions To Rally Fizzles. Pathetic turn out. Follos this link for the awful truth.

    Compare that to the Indivisible women’s gathering at the Miners Foundry on Sunday where hundreds packed both concert rooms at the venue and had traffic backed up all the way to the Old Downiville Road. I know because I couldn’t find a parking place anywhere near the KVMR studio on Sunday afternoon. It was like there was a parade going on.

    Oh, not again, why, why, why from the poor ol’ pollhead PE. No depth to have a discussion, the EPA already is primarily a grand distribution administrator oh learned one. The EPA could be run by less than a thousand staffers. That would let you fire 14,000 bureaucrats and never notice it. They already are dumping the whole global warming section and contractors as a start. πŸ˜‰

    Walt. I watched most of it. Heck, at one time he stole Hillary’s thunder and at another time he made nice with the Party, but he mostly was Trump laying out a huge multi-year agenda. Now, if the legislature can do its job and start crafting and moving bills along, that would be great for the country no matter what side you are on. President doing his job, Congress doing theirs, and maybe 1/3 of the plate might get done….never know. Good to quickly put the vile Left’s Yemen story to Rest In Peace.
    Nancy sitting alone not clapping for jobs was worth more than 200 gazillion words. See, everything the Left tries to do lately blows up in their faces. Never seen anything like that in all my days. Mercy.
    Good thing about free streaming the speech is it ends when the speech ends, without commentary. Saw Shepard Smith mug popped up for a split second and the feed stopped. Just in time. They haven’t got rid of him yet?
    Let’s see. What will the Left’s spin buzz word be? What phrase? Last time they all (left meaning Media, Dems are irrelevant) came out with “it was a dark speech.” Dark. Everyone of them from CNN to NBC to that girl that looks like a boy on MSNBC, to Huff-n-puff Post to Salon to…all of them. Dark, dark speech.
    This is great. I don’t have to read any copy! Paul will pop over soon enough and give us the Alt-Media catch phrase issued down from on high. Always a silver lining.

I am sure they will stay up all night and Morning Joe will drop the magical spin words on us in the morning.

    β€œThe Democratic Party is at its lowest point of power in this country since the 1920s, and the response was made by a 72-year-old retired two-term governor of Kentucky, not by Kamala Harris, not by Kirsten Gillibrand, not by the Castro brothers, not by anyone who has a future in the actual Democratic Party,” said Schmidt, an MSNBC political analyst.
