[I guess tonight belongs to Stormy.  We have the DVR on and it's recording the long-awaited '60 Minutes' interview which we will watch a bit later.  I presume everyone is preparing their pot shots.  Perhaps we'll even have a thoughtful perspective about what our country has now become with this latest widening the rift even more.  gjr]

    Walt,
    Mzzz. “jon” is a tad hissy today… Uh,, “shark week”
    Exactamundo. Been thinking the same thing myself…since last Thursday or Friday. Not just little jon, but the whole lot of them stepping in all u hinged and hating life….and maybe to help burned out Punchy get a reprieve.
    Can’t be over the budget that Nancy and Chucky were high fiving themselves saying they never got such a deal when they were in the majority. Nah, that Omni spending bill was crammed full of money for research (mega), mental health dollars, and even Fed dollars to add six feet to the height of Lake Shasta.
    Get this: No new dams, just increase the storage capacity of an existing important dam, and the State of California is blocking it, ROFLMAO. Go ahead, tear it down. Serves them right.
    No, it can’t be opening the spigots on the cash. Or Stormy. Or that FB story fizzling out, even though there is a bunch of state AGs suiting FB for letting the R’s do what they called Obama a genius for doing,. And another “get this”. Trump went with the better RNC data in the general anyway. Citizen Trump called the RNC data more accurate. No agrument here.
    Nah, I think the reason they are so pissy lately has everything to do with the BOS and pot and all those dollars (for medicinal purposes only) are slip sliding away. Bummer, dude. “At least Nevada County is blue, so there! Put that in your rural white supreminist pipe and smoke it.” Yep, it’s all about the hunchie hunchie marihuana alter and the fact that women just don’t care about the Stormy saga. The women don’t care, is only the unhinged white lib males, another lol.
    BTW, haven’t looked it up for the final tally, but at one time only 3 Congressmen (R-CA) voted for the spending bill. One of the three was our own representative, a farmer himself. Men of the land are the salt of the earth.

    We could save a lot on student loan defaults if people actually got an education that was based on jobs and not what sounds cool-
    A new column published last week in the Wall Street Journal revealed that a four-year college degree might actually hinder an employee’s readiness to complete job-specific tasks after hiring.

    Did anybody notice how CBS neatly tied Stormy and her lovely cantaloupes to Russian Collusion? Perfect. All roads lead to Moscow. Proof positive Putin was behind it in 2006. It’s like watching mass hypnosis or something. This calls for one humungeous ROFLMFUKO.
    Oh, those whispers about Trump boinking his daughter have been around since before the first primary debate. Whisper, whisper, did you hear that Trump molested his daughter!
    Sad state of affairs when that is all that’s left of the the former Democrat Party. Wounds me deeply to witness what they have been reduced to. Like watching Joe Lewis wrestle bears for the traveling circus.

    If true, such action by Facebook may constitute a major violation of federal campaign finance law as an illegal corporate campaign contribution. The matter should be investigated by the Federal Election Commission – an agency I am quite familiar with, because I served as one of its commissioners from 2006 to 2007. The commission enforces campaign finance laws for congressional and presidential elections.
    A federal law bans corporations from making “direct or indirect” contributions to federal candidates. That ban extends beyond cash contributions to “any services, or anything of value.” In other words, corporations cannot provide federal candidates with free services of any kind. Under the Federal Election Commission’s regulations, “anything of value” includes any “in-kind contribution.”

    According to the poll, Trump trails only Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama by four points at this point in their first terms.

    Proposal for a measure to be put on the ballot in Oregon. There’s probably enough lefties in Portland alone to easily get this on the ballot.
    http://oregonvotes.org/irr/2018/042text.pdf
    It will be interesting to see what happens in Oregon if the polling shows it has a good chance of becoming law. It is poorly written and although they are pushing it as a ‘assault gun reduction’ measure, it will affect almost all semi-auto fire arms.
    Obviously, the only way it can be enforced is a door to door surprise search by the authorities. As I read it, once the 120 day period expires, almost anyone moving into Oregon has to surrender or sell their semi-auto fire arm.
    The registration rate will be small as everyone knows that once registered, there will be an on-going litany of new restrictions and fees to eventually force most people that aren’t rich to simply give up and get rid of their fire arm. Once the 120 day period has passed 10s of thousands of Oregonians will be subject to a felony.
    There will end up being a glut of unregistered guns put into the underground market.

    There is hope for the future;
    An Air Force cadet from Loomis played the hero twice in the span of 72 hours — first by finding a pilot whose plane went down in a mountainous area just west of Gilroy, then talking a suicidal man down from a freeway overpass.
    On leave from the Air Force Academy over Presidents Day weekend, Cadet Third Class Jack Bell decided to rent a plane and fly from Auburn to Monterey. Bell, 19, had earned his pilot’s license while attending Del Oro High School, from which he graduated in 2016.
    Not far from his destination, Bell’s radio crackled with a request from the Northern California TRACON office. A pilot had called in reporting an engine failure in the area before its plane’s communications system went dark. Could Bell cut down through the clouds and look for the downed plane?
    “It wasn’t really a second thought for me,” Bell said. “In every intention and every action that we do, at end of day, it’s the people that matter the most. That’s a value that’s been instilled in me since I was little kid.”

    What a funny law. It’s another one of those anti pistol grip/flash hider rules that’s carefully written to avoid the Mini-14.
    You have to wonder on the pistol 10 round magazine restriction. It won’t affect the 1911 or concealed carry guys, but the other 80% (or whatever) of non-revolver handguns immediately have illegal magazines.
    A serious question. Why are the Green Libertarians so het up about muzzle brakes and related gizmos? What possible difference does that make? I’d really really (seriously) like to hear what the point of that restriction might be.
    hang on…..
    ” any semiautomatic, centerfire or rimfire rifle with a fixed
    magazine, that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition; ”
    Am I reading that correctly. Have they just declared that a Ruger 10-22 is an ‘assault rifle’? Heck, I think that a Winchester Model 1890 .22 would be on the list.
    Jeez, what maroons.
