    Todd. Yep, he vote for Obama in ’08 Ike the high falutin’ low pollutin’ Mean Green Libertarian Machine, but like Kessler, he too became disillusioned with the broken promises and crushed hopes. Then he went to a OWS rally and got so disgusted he quit that crowd and never went back. Now we are tagged with the wack job. Good thing he don’t care for us much either. :).

    Oh, silly me. The other thing Kessler has in common with our Green Libertarian is they both read The Storm Trooper.

    On the local beat, Thursday the GVPD found something. Could it be? I can’t rest until it is found and returned. Hey, I am emotionally attached to the story. Hmmmm. Of course, hiding Kenny’s bike in the blackberries. So close, yet so hidden.
    On second thought, now that the community done got Kenny a new bike, maybe its best to let sleeping baskets lie.
    1:08 p.m. โ€” A caller from Race Street and Highway 174 reported finding a stolen yellow bike with a basket.

    Imagine living in a community when this is what appears in the โ€œcommunity newspaper.โ€ Nevada County, AK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_County,_Arkansas

    Ummm… I guess Jeff & friends don’t know their states very well. Arkansas is AR, AK is Alaska. What a maroon! What an ignoranimus!

    Hey…..look what California is attempting to foist on the rest of the nation!

    ITโ€™S ON: Kamala Harris Will Be โ€˜Knocking on Doors in Iowa.โ€™
    Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D.) said California Sen. Kamala Harris (D.) will be โ€œknocking on doors in Iowa,โ€ indicating Saturday he expects she will run for president.
    Villaraigosa, who is running for Governor of California in 2018, was asked by MSNBC host Hugh Hewitt about Harris, a newly elected senator considered a rising star in the Democratic Party. Hewitt predicted she would be the nominee for the Democrats in 2020.
    โ€œHas she got a stake in this governorโ€™s race?โ€ Hewitt asked.
    โ€œWell, not yet,โ€ Villaraigosa said. โ€œI hope she will support my candidacy, but as you say, she is a great candidate. Sheโ€™s going to be knocking on doors in Iowa, I expect. But in any case, Iโ€™m focused on this race, not the presidential race.โ€
    An unaccomplished first-term Senator with nothing going for her but skin color, a telegenic personality, and a predictably progressive record? Nah, could never happen.

    I thought Kamalas most significant achievement was serving “under” Willie Brown.

    My gut reaction to Bannon out of the White House as always been “Bannon unchained.” Think about it. No FOIA worrying, being a journalists he had tons of protections (like not naming sources), can write anything he wants expose anyone he wishes, attack and hide behind Briethart and the 1st Amendment…..with plenty of access. Hmmm.
    Let the Fakesnews Green Libertarian spout that Bannon is a porn addict methhead partying fool. Yo, Punch E, is that child porn or just porn. You act like you have not dipped the wick in many many moons. That sex stuff gets ya all upset. You and your fellow bubble boy Lefties have been hyperventilating and screaming to get rid of Bannon since way before the election. Now you got your wish. The chain has be cut and the dog is now unleashed. Be afraid, be very afraid.
    Not the best article, but gotta post something.

    The DNC has cash on hand of only $6.9M and $4M in debts for a net $2.9m V the RNC’s $47.1M net cash on hand. The DNC is not going to take away any seats if they are broke. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    My endlessly expressed opinion is that the greatest threat facing our nation is the monopoly of the two party system. Whatever symptoms of decay observed by the economic conditions of the Democratic Party are evident and predictable and are certainly not going to cause me any concern. A favorite slogan of Green Libertarians is “Thrill to the discovery of the obvious” the obvious being that which is easily observable and even within the scope of someone as myopic as Don Bessee to observe.

    Walt: your story has not gone away, yet.
    One has to wonder how big this will grow. With long time counselor to Bubba, HRC, and the Clinton Foundation defending this low level guy, one has to wonder how he could afford such an long time Bubba and Clinton insider attorney. Ah, nothing to see here. Debbie denies everything.
    “Most had relatively little IT experience. Yet they hauled in a combined $4 million-plus over the past decade. One, a former McDonaldโ€™s worker, was suddenly making as much as a chief of staff.”
    “Awan had access to Wasserman Schultzโ€™s e-mails at both Congress and the DNC, where he had been given the password to her iPad. After DNC e-mails and research files were stolen during the presidential election, Wasserman Schultz reportedly refused to turn over the server to the FBI and instead called in a private firm to investigate and ID the hackers. The firm blamed the Russian government, while admitting, โ€œWe donโ€™t have hard evidence.โ€ The corrupted DNC server, held in storage, still has not been examined by the FBI.”
    โ€œItโ€™s clear that large bytes of data were moved off the secure network,โ€ said another source close to the investigation, adding that Awan and the other four staffers under investigation had โ€œfull and complete accessโ€ to lawmakersโ€™ e-mails, calendars, schedules, hearing notes, meeting notes and memos and other sensitive information.”

    Todd, I think you may be getting warmer with Kessler, the guy who organized the Klan wannabes in Charlottesville….you know, that guy who is on CNN’s payroll
    Got a cool conspiracy theory about that Kessler.
    He met with BLM well before the event. Both sides of the march planned by same mysterious shadowy figure behind the curtain. Pit extremes of both fringes of the political spectrum against each other, carve out the middle, and no middle ground left. If you don’t like progressive ideas, you are a Nazi and a racist. Now, the connections to Kessler kinda point to My Gal, but she is just a puppet for the anonymous man behind the curtain. You might say we saw a staged production. The car thing was one heck of a lucky break for the kids in the masks’ paymaster and puppeteer. Mana from heaven for the Media. It went so much better could be imagined.
