   jon.. That’s the Progressive “O”and Co. FBI for you.
   “Navarro showed evidence suggesting prosecutors refused to produce records showing agents conducting surveillance on the Bundy Ranch, and threat assessments about the Bundys dating back to 2012. The prosecutors also did not disclose unredacted FBI logs about activity at the ranch in the days around the standoff.
   BLM Special Agent Larry Wooten investigated earlier this year the agency’s behavior leading up to the standoff and found “incredible bias” and widespread misconduct and likely illegal actions by the BLM. ”
   The same that gave Hillary an out? The same that is out to ruin Trump with bogus “evidence”?
   These are Nazi Gestapo tactics. And who is up to this? Your side of the fence.

   Exodus Starts: Millennials Ditch City Life
   The urban revival of America’s core inner cities has been a decades-long failed experiment, as deindustrialization coupled with failed liberal policies have created a growing problem of inequality and violent crime. Middle-class advancement was once localized in the core of America’s cities, but that is not so much the case today, as those areas are labeled a “barbell economy,” divided between highly-paid professionals and low-skill service workers.
   Brookings Institution notes as early as the 1970s, middle-class income in the inner cities started to shrink more than anywhere else. Today, in most US inner cities, the cores are more unequal than their surrounding suburbs, noted geographer Daniel Herz.
   As the failed American inner city experiment nears the latter stages before a collapsing point, a new report from Time could be the final nail in the coffin for some American inner cities, as the article suggests “cities have already reached ‘Peak Millennial’ as young people begin to leave.”
   According to the latest Census data, after years of growth, the population of millennials in Boston and Los Angeles have declined since 2015, as a mass exodus from city life starts to take shape. Other cities such as Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C., are experiencing similar issues but not as severe while growth rates of millennials plateau.
   Read the rest with graphics here: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-17/exodus-starts-millennials-ditch-city-life
   Two years ago Joel Kotkin told Nevada County this migration was coming and the County should prepare to attract the best and brightest fleeing from urban squalor, seeking single-family homes in safe communities to raise their children. According to Kotkin, these are the future economic engine in rural communities as they will be bringing their jobs with them, working remotely, or starting a business with fellow millennials. But, the leadership failed to come forward and create those safe single-family homes connected to a fiber optic broadband network in a school district know for educational excellence. We are building those connected homes in exceptional school districts in Placer County, Nevada County fails to compete once again.

   RussS 1251pm – Good report Russ. California is particularly remiss in providing for such an exodus (e.g. lack of low cost housing) from urban areas which Democratic administrations have ridden into the mud, and in the process have given all of us a peek into a socialist future.

   I’m probably a broken record on this, but I’d say that you are seeing an increasing tendency towards ethnic segregation over time. The outpouring of middle class whites to the sticks and/or Californians generally moving to the Free States (to spread their magic) is a side effect of this. I’ll look and see if there’s any statistics on that.
   I honestly doubt that most of them explicitly look at it this way, it’s always for cheaper housing or a ‘safer’ community or something, but the result is the same.

   Wow, indeed, Paul. “[T]he Conservative WSJ poll”? What do you think will happen if Mueller does not find the collusion with the Russians that the “41%” think is true… because they’ve not heard their newscasters talk about the other side?
   While the WSJ editorial page staff are moderate Conservatives on the whole, their news side is moderate Democrat… and the poll wasn’t a WSJ poll, it was an NBC News/WSJ poll and NBC is moderate Progressive as far as I can tell, in the tank for the Democrats in office.

    Anyway – I’m still laughing at the idea of the lefties trying to ‘get ready’ for a right-wing militia backlash. Just to start with – if the left is calling it a ‘militia’ then they have just waved off a huge anti right-to-own-and-bear fire arms argument.

    Russ at 5:24 – You aren’t kidding. Now remember – the entire population of Idaho didn’t pass a million until around 1990. So it isn’t hard for us to be the ‘fastest growing’ state. Texas still leads with the highest number of population increase. It isn’t just the lower cost of living. The politics are so much more conservative and since this is a lower income state (not lower in quality of living), spending is closely watched. Not a lot of waste. Personal liberty is higher here. The pipeline from Cal to Idaho is open and flowing. Productive tax payers are leaving CA. They can see the writing on the wall.

    Well I actually agree with Todds guy Steve Bannon on this. Remember Trump wanted Bush impeached.
    “Steven Bannon, professional Republican Party instigator and former chief political strategist to President Donald Trump, blasted the Bush family and called former President George H.W. Bush a “pervert” amid allegations of sexual misconduct by the 41st commander in chief.
    Bannon took umbrage with the presidency of George W. Bush, the 43rd president, and called out the elder Bush for criticizing Trump.
    “The Bush presidency is the most destructive presidency in history. James Buchanan included. It’s not even close,” Bannon told Vanity Fair, comparing George W. Bush to the 15th president, who has been called one of the worst in the country’s history.
    Bannon went on: “And by the way. I haven’t even gotten to 9/11. I mean, 9/11! Think about if 9/11 had happened on Trump’s watch. We would have gotten 100 percent of the blame by the Bush
    guys. And they said, well, we just got here. What do you mean you just got here? That’s what gets me about them coming after Trump. I really detest them. I mean, the old man is a pervert. He’s a pervert. Grabbing these girls and grabbing their asses?”

    I always liked Gov. Nikki. Good woman, good person, good Governor, good mind. She never endorsed Trump throughout 2016, along with Ted Cruz and many others.for a variety of reasons, including the Access Hollywood Tape. But when it came down to crunch time in the first week of November, 2016, she (along with many others) announced she does not endorse Trump, but will vote for him. Close enough. We’ll take that vote of her’s along with the 62 million others.

    That wasn’t what Haley was saying, but if it was, I would have a problem with it.
    What I heard Haley say was that given the USA pays most of the bills around here, we expect our sovereignty to not be attacked by this body and we will be taking heed of who is doing it to us. Shades of Jean Kirkpatrick.
    In the game of negotiating peace between Israel and the Palestinians, allowing Israel to have Jerusalem as its capital has been to the Palestinians as the football has been to Lucy. If it was ever to happen, it would have to happen just as it has, with the USA announcing the reality and that we will move our embassy there. Someday, sooner than later.

Greg, crawl back under a rock where you belong. Small towns are a hoot!”
    No, Jeff, I never lie, outside of the fighting hubris with hubris such as when I told everyone about your white zin and 2 buck chuck habits… as a fellow given to making up stuff to make deadlines, I’m sure you might understand the shortcut of accusing you of actually drinking 2buck (or is it 3buck now?) for a rise… I wanted to get to sleep and baiting you for a couple more comments to clear your board was my goal. EZ Pease japanesey. Seeing all 15 comments being YOU was beautiful, man.
    Your linkedin profile got updated some time ago when, on this very blog, I slut-shamed you into divulging your UC degree… your profile info dates to that exchange. And your 95959Report blog DOES NOT have the subjects of either of your degrees, just “Jeff has a bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley and a master’s from Northwestern University. His hobbies include sailing and trout fishing” … isn’t that special? I’m sure the trout and the folks steering clear of your boat are impressed.
    In this recent exchange, Jeff was calling me a liar about the distance from my family’s home in Alhambra to CalStateLA … he apparently thought the city center must have been where we lived, not thinking that a campus that’s ADJACENT to Alhambra would mean some homes could be as close as next door… and unless I divulged the address so he could check, that meant I was a liar.
    It’s precisely 2.1 miles, Jeff. I said “a couple” and jeff thought that was ripe for some Fats Checking. I thought that was a good guess considering I ain’t lived there for 30+ years.
    That reminded me of the lie he promulgated that I threw a temper tantrum at a Constitution Day parade, that had NO BASIS IN FACT, but was willing to apologize for doing it but only if I provided a copy of the letter I sent the Marching Presidents over an incident I witnessed that threw Mikail Graham’s character into question. One old friend of Graham’s that I told the story to agreed Mikail had a history of “chicken-shit” acts like the one I was caught up in.
    No, Jeff doesn’t get my old addresses. He also doesn’t get copies of letters I write that are private and don’t involve him no matter what he makes up as bargaining chips.
