    This is wonderful! An admission of why the democrats are so fanatical about the “Dreamers”!

    What do you see as the solution for the dreamers, John? I think that the current situation (dreamers & Haitians out, but not Norwegians) is more about Republicans wanting to rid the country of potential citizens/voters who aren’t white and, thus, are less likely to vote Republican in the future

    Ah JoKe thanks for that….acknowledgment that the real interest for the democrats is a captive pool of likely voters.

    From your article:
    “Illegal alien activists stormed the home of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the offices of Democrats demanding immediate amnesty for all 12 to 30 million illegal aliens in the United States, as well as the release of all illegal aliens who are in detention centers for crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.”
    You just knew that was coming. There’s no use in pretending otherwise.

    The Board of Supervisors and The Union took Diaz to task for not following longstanding budget procedures and springing the increase irresponsibly of the Board less than five months before an election. The vote was based on Diaz failure to follow procedure. Pretty sure the mail ballot thing will happen, but only after Diaz properly does his fiscal job. YubaNet and Pelline are all out of sorts for no reason. They should email Diaz and tell him to simply do his job. If I were in the BOS position, I’d be irritated as well.

    Public opinion appeared mixed on the issue.”
    Scofield suggested the subcommittee meet with Diaz, examine the budget and determine where cuts can occur.

    Personally I don’t believe that it is a good idea. Follow this “logic” from the wonderful State of California despite the illegality of aliens voting. 18 U.S. Code § 611.
    1) California allows illegal immigrants to have driver’s license
    2) California automatically registers you to vote when you renew your license
    3) California will eventually allow all mail ballots throughout the state
    Rampant illegality will be the result, but California is a banana republic, so this isn’t shocking. Bye Felicia.

    The race is on. Who will get to the finish line first? Mueller and his team of some of the best prosecutorial minds money can buy, or the Congress and current DaOJ investigations of the dark inner circle of FBI operatives (with the former DOJ) handling the investigations of both Hillary and Trump? Who investigators the investigators was a question posed a few months ago.
    I dunno. Wait and see. Long way to go, miles before I sleep.
    The Mueller probe has opened up the spigot with leaks, and some R Committee member has a memo that he refuses to show the FBI or the DOJ, lol. Bet he has it hidden in a special place that nobody would think to look. The chess pieces are moving around, and both sides are going about taking out the rooks and bishops, positioning themselves with eyes on the Queen.
    There is something wrong in the FBI.
    The questions not posed about the Lover’s missing 50k texts are
    1) did the Samsung glitch affect other departments in the Bureau, or did it just happened to our two lovebirds? Hmmm? Anybody know?
    Boy, that guy was the lead operative on Hillary’s e-mail big fat dud and then jumped straight to being the lead on Trump. Busy bee. Like a Mexican Jumping Bean.
    2) 50,000 missing sweet nothings? How do they know it’s not 63k or 47k or 250 gazillion?

It’s their streets and libraries, and city councils now. Heck, must be 25 years now since the Mexican flag when up over the US Post Office in one of those “cities” around City of industry, or Commence. Yes, the flag came down, but it just shows what’s not being reported. They don’t bother to even tow away vehicles parked on the streets with expired tags. Causes big distribution to the residents.

    It seems as though the right wing is getting more reactionary and angry as their faith begins to crumble and falter amid the mounting mountain of slime that is the trump administration in particular and republican politics in general. Rather than confront the reality that their ideology belongs on the dung pile of history rather than forefront of progress, they continue to double down on the same old hackneyed billionaire sponsored ideas like climate denial, trickle down economics, fascist race relations and immigration policies, privatization of public services, anti-union, anti-education, state of jefferson, ad infinitum. That the fossil fuel and Wall St. barons have weaseled their way into power and are now implementing policies that take America backwards in the name of short term profit with long term negative consequences, should disturb everyone, but instead the party faithful continue to embarrass themselves by ignoring reality and toeing the party line if only to avoid admitting to their own poor choices. Local politics are supposed to be non-partisan and supervisors are elected to represent all of the people not just their ideological brethren. Conserative hacks need to go and stop trying to force their misguided ideas onto the rest of us.

    I’ve never understood the hostility to the idea that it’s too much of a bother to show up at a given place and time for a few minutes, on an average of once a year (a primary and a final, every two years) to show our faces to a volunteer in one’s neighborhood, sign one’s name, and vote.
    I also believe an automatic process from walking into a DMV to getting a mail in ballot is wretchedly open to abuse.

    Bill. Does it really matter? Diaz does not really check the signature on ballots anyway. They have the sensitivity set so low on their equipment that apparently a dead person’s signature will satisfy the standard. Further, he just counts the provisional ballots “because it won’t change the results anyway.” If the state and county don’t pay real attention to who is legally registered, then the actual voting will never be legal. I have hit my limit with California…banana republic.

    Just in the pass few days somebody needed a ride and I drove that person straight up to the welfare office so that person could turn in the app. Before page one is a nice big fat voter regerstration form. Then, turn it in. First question, “Are you reregistered to vote?”
    “I am”.
    “Here, take another big reregister to vote application. Large print.. Now, how can I help you? Oh, did you say you were not regeristered to vote?”
    They pass them out like candy and load you up. I vote provisional, and yes, I heard that crack about counting my provisional ballot in a ten days to a couple of weeks after voting day cause my vote probably won’t change a thing. Was once reregistered permanent absentee, so voted for years by mail and they always mailed me a ballot. But, I had to show ID at the clerk’s office when those nice ladies were over in the HEW building to initially register…..and I think I had to raise my right hand and swear to tell the truth that I be a US Citizen and I am who I am, and swore allegiance to the Great Kahoolawe.
    Couldn’t get away with a propane receipt or envelop found on the ground addressed to some County address back then.
    Today, it’s all honor system. Here is your voter registration. Check the box that says “I be a citizen of these here United States” and have at it. County will mail ya another ballot next election. Remember to check the box.

    I’ve never understood the hostility to the idea that it’s too much of a bother to check the intergrity of the voter rolls. Even a hint of poking around to see how much of a problem voter fraud is in reality makes them hostile on steroids. Must not go there. Ever. Statically insignifant. Not widespread. Trust us. That gets the Resistance all stirred up. No peeking.

    The biggest fraud is happening in CA is a town called Las Vegas. Tour buses picking up laborers out in Imperial County, free lunch and crevezas, and driving them straight across the state line to Lost Wages, Clark County, NV to cast a ballot. Makes sense. Tour buseses heading to Vegas from Southetn Cal ain’t going to raise no eyebrows. Flipping Nevada and the big fraud out in Riverside County. Nothing to see here.

He picked up his buddies and drove them to the Union Hall. It was some union vote that night and the locals were up for re-election. Never had a problem with those Teamsters after that, no sireeee.

The polls reporting that only about half of Americans really are aware of all the day’s news provide the metrics – and guess which part of the news the other half is deficient in.

    Looks like Mueller is going for non-criminal inference, or obstruction. Just enough to muddy the waters and cast doubt, then turn it over to the House. But, that ain’t the story. That story is just the Silent Coup..
    It’s all about the FISA and unmasking. Follow the timeline. Got rejected by the secret court in July. FBI came back with a Hillary paid Dossier that the FBI also paid and worked on to produce. Leaking like a sieve to the usual sources, The NYT, Wa Compost, CNN. “ Two sources close to the investigation….”. Which two? Our lovebirds or everybody? Everybody.
    All 5 top agencies surrounding Obama knew. Obama knew a lot more than he said he knew. It’s inconceivable he did not know. Justice knew, CIA, NIA, maybe all of those 17 intel agencies Punchy loves. A rouge state, a rouge White House.
    Unmasking the transition, tracking everybody that had anything to do with the campaign through the transition and into the new administration, still leaking like a sieve to the press from the FBI and others.
    Flynn was fired Feb. 13, 2017, Comey in May. Where’s the interference?
    Role reservsal. Suddenly the left is all respect for LE, at least our fine men and women at the FBI and Deputy AG. Beyond reproach. Law and order Libbies, lol.
    Funny, the liberals all my life were all about civil liberties and suspicious of anything hat even whiffed of a police state. It was beyond politics, it was a healthy skepticism, defenders of liberties. Now you can’t find one Dem, one Dem in the House or Senate that gives a flying leap. They be illiberal. Ok, maybe a couple Dems. Alan Dershowitz is a dying breed, a dinosaur.
    When the shoe is on the other foot, they will be glad we are here today protecting and defending Libertarian values, getting Congress to do its job, it’s duties, it’s authority, and reigning in the reaches and carnage from the overreaches of the Executive Branch. They will never say thanks, but the task we face to unmask a rouge Industrial State/Media Complex plotting a Silent Coup is a reward unto itself. America First. Americans First. We cannot allow this to happened again, if humanly possible.
