   California Cap and Trade is here to stay. But, but, but what about our roads and bridges?
   “Brown’s administration said extending cap and trade is “necessary to meet the statewide climate goals” and reduce “significant volatility” in revenue generated from the sale of permits. The governor is counting on the money to help finance the bullet train from Los Angeles to San Francisco.”

   What few people mention is that there is only so much water on average through thick and thin. People consume water, be it in lean or fat years. Now, if we keep allowing foreign nationals into our State, it stands to reason that they will drink our water and even bathe in our water. Then there is the local organic farming issues everybody seems to love in concept, even if it is but a mere Victory Garden. And who likes driving around with a dirty windshield? Not to mention CA’s agricultural business and water recreation activities that draw CA tourists and local natives alike.
   There are studies that suggest that it is not a matter of droughts, but more of a matter than CA’s water averages can only sustain so big of a population. If there was ever a fool proof agrument to build the Wall, this is it. We already had a rash of water thefts the last couple of years. Why let people from around the Globe come here to live here illegally when they will consume our precious water, which is a finite resource?? Why? Crackdown on illegal entry. It’s for our fish.

    Headlines today-
    The Republican chairman and top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee said in a joint statement Thursday they have seen no evidence to support President Donald Trump’s claim about Trump Tower being wiretapped.
    “Based on the information available to us, we see no indications that Trump Tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after Election Day 2016,” Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) said.

    Paul,
    You can read Scenes’s link here or go to The Progressive Swamp in DC and read the last comment. That comment mentions you specially. You don’t need no FISA requests, silly. Unless the NYT did not mean what they said about the Obama White House and chose to publish fake news again…..and again.
    Yep, everything the Leftists do blows up in their faces. Senate Intelligence Hearing start soon to find out who at the Obama White House published names such as Flynn. A very serious offense. Bet that former staff is lawyering up as we speak.
    “I don’t recall. Best as I can remember is I don’t remember squat”. Boy, the Fake News spinners and spewers will be wishing this story would simply disappear like quick. Someday they may catch a break, but it’s kinda hard when they keep walking into their own snares.

What we do know is someone hacked the Dems and gave the material to Wikileaks which they released and it was favorable to the Trump who used it in his campaign.

    We are in the middle of some substantial changes in America. The election of Trump has placed a man in the White House who is unafraid of the actions he takes and the blowback he gets. You have to at least respect that you liberals/democrats, right? Not them. I truly think listening to the left of America and their leaders that they don’t have our best interests at heart. This goes for the Judiciary as well.
    The loons on the bench of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals are a prime example of what happens when personal agendas trump the law. The President has the Constitutional power to issue and enforce the “Travel Ban” yet a idiot judge stayed it. And without even citing the law! This is what it has come too. We cannot even trust the top legal beagels to read and understand the law.
    So now we see a Trump budget proposal that is making the left go apoplectic. He wants to reduce a lot of the domestic programs and tranfer the money saved to defense. After all, if we cannot protect America what good are these programs?
    I watched the Trump Rally in Nashville yesterday and I can see the enthusiasm for the man and his proposals. Working Americans are excited by him because he cares about them. The loons on the left really don’t care but say they do in order to get your votes. When you see the left living in gated communities and running our government with security, armed guards and limosines, we see them for what they are. Hypocrites. Common folks like all of us don’t have the freebies these pinheads get. They say they work, you know, the University professors making six figures and maybe putting in 10 hours a week in the classroom. Then they rile up the chillin to protest and break things just like they did in the 60’s.
    So this Saturday the 18th our Congressman Doug LaMalfa will be holding a Townhall at the Nevada County Fairgrounds. And the liberals/democrats are busing in people from all over to come and harangue Doug. But we will be there in support for him. We will hopefully not see the left committing violence as we listen. But their track record is not good. They scream and drown out those they say they want to hear from. Hopefully the police will keep order.

    Todd, this budget will get both the Democrats and the Republicans up in arms. Don’t be surprised. The Republican Party (or hunks of it) is not a Conservative party. Neither can Trump pass the true conservative test. Of course the Alt-Lefters will be up in arms more than anyone else, led by their Maoist leaders via their mouthpiece the MSM and its parrots.
    But your point is spot on. Trump is on a mission to make government work, make it mean and lean, and hold it’s feet to the fire. The bureaucracy thinks we work for them. Not.
    President Donald. J. Trump had little interest in pleasing the Left, right, or in between if they stand firm for the broken status quo. The biggest threat to Trump is the Establishment RINOs and particularly the Neo-Cons. The Democrat Party currently is a impotent cluster of chickens running in circles with their heads cut off and are little concern, save for amusement and objects of ridicule. They are like ants on hot pavement thinking they have power over the curious humans looking down watching their confusion and discomfort.
    The Democrat Party leaders are toothless yap dogs trying to bite your ankles. Nah, the RINOs and Neo-Cons are the real threat. Gore all their oxen, President Trump.

    One never wants to place his arguments, case, nor his fate in the hands of the 9th Circuit Court. It’s a gamble that even the most versed in Constitutional and case law have learned to avoid. They aren’t known as the Numbnuts Nine for nothin’.
    Was it Professor Walter Williams that said around 2003 that “someday the 9th Circuit Court would declare the Constitution unConstitutional”? I believe it was, but the year could be wrong. Maybe 2006.
    Anyway, it is good for even the Know Nothing Nine to acknowledge that that abortion called a ruling was too far out into left field to be considered part our solar system.
