[More school killings, this time with a revolver and a shotgun – no semi-autos in sight, yet the killings continue.  When do we come to a national conclusion that it is the shooters we should do better at identifying and stopping, rather than taking guns from law abiding citizens?  gjr]

    What’s with your fixation on a volcano? BFD. We lost more homes and lives in 30 minutes in Sonoma than Hawaii has in 30 years because of volcanoes. Spend some time in Iceland, Argentina, South Pacific, or so many other active regions and a single spewer in Hawaii kind of gets put into perspective.
    People who build their homes on the flank of an active volcano really don’t get a lot of sympathy from me. Same with building in flood plains or avalanche paths. Yes, we live in an active earthquake and wildfire area. I’d hate to lose my stuff, but it’s a reality and I don’t expect sympathy or the feds to rush in to help me nor am I going to set up a go fund me page. How ’bout you Walt?

    I sincerely doubt “jon smith” is Pelline. He smells much more like Michael P. Anderson, if one takes him at his word that, for example, that he wrote a lot of html code in past days.
    Plus, Pelline just is too much of a lightweight cheap trickster when it comes to rhetoric to hide his stripes for long. Pelline hates based on personalities, folks that don’t love and adore him. Who show him up. That isn’t “jon’s” M.O.

    On a related topic, I have been following the Vancouver (BC) woman who has dedicated her life to running the rape crisis hotline (for free and for years) in addition to starting and running a shelter for battered woman and rape victims. Dedicated her life to helping rape and domestic violence victims.
    They have destroyed her and she is now a pariah….labeled as a racist at best and demonized across Canada coast to coast. The shelter for rape victims she has run for years is now not eligible for government or community grants. Her name is not to uttered ever again and she is worse than Hilter or Satan. Her crime? She did not want anyone with testicles to be allowed to be sheltered and showering with “born women” who have just been traumatized and raped by folks with testicles. Aka, trannies babies. Neither did she want men to “man” the rape crisis hotline as the victims made their first step crying out for for help. She even believes if you never menstruated, you really don’t know what it is like to be a woman. Gone from hero to zero.

    The data stretched across all age, income, and education groups. Americans between the ages of 30 and 49 years old were unmistakably more confident about their job prospects this spring compared to in the months leading up to the 2016 election. The survey found that between August-October of 2016 (47 percent) and March-April 2018 (66 percent), job market optimism grew by 19 percent amongst that age group.
    The data is at the highest point ever recorded, since Gallup began asking respondents about job market optimism in August 2001.

Pelline has better smelling breath though because he brushes his teeth after eating (he brushes a lot). Todd just slaps on some more Aqua Velva on his face and baby powder down his drawers.

    Remember when the Northridge earthquake took out a lot of freeways in SoCal?
    Who got the freeways up and running? Govt? No sir – it was good ol’ private industry. They weren’t concerned with what skin color all the workers were or what sex the workers identified with.
    Now we have another (on top of dozens of other) failed projects from the govt that are late, over budget and/or non-existent.
    Best line – “At present rates, the Seattle Department of Transportation says it might be able to afford only half the 50 miles of bike lanes promised in the Move Seattle levy approved by voters in 2015.”
    Who promised what? Just as in California with the HSR, it seems campaign promises don’t have to be honored and even if they were, the persons doing the promising are long gone by the time the stuff hits the fan. If the local appliance store screwed the people like this there would be folks in jail and massive lawsuits. But if the govt lies and cheats the voters out of what they were promised, it’s just major shrugs all around. BART, The Big Dig, HSR – and many, many more.

An undisclosed number of dead Oriental cockroaches — darker, shinier and slightly larger than their German cousins — were also found on glue traps in the kitchen and both front and back brewing areas.
    Oak Park Brewing Co. also had more than 100 mouse droppings along the walls of its back brewing area, 20 droppings both atop an open bulk bag of malt and on the bottom shelf of a prep sink, and 10 droppings atop the lid of a bulk container of masa, according to the health inspector’s report.
    Two dead rodents were found in a glue trap next to a door in the back brewing area. More than 20 weevils were also found inside the masa container.

    If the Feds had a sneaky suspicion that the Russians had infiltrated the Trump Campaign, it was months before the Austrialian Ambassador “overheard” the young George P saying that a Cambridge professor told him (and paid for his flight to London) that the Russians had Hillary’s missing 30,000 e-mails…or all the e-mails that got hacked from Hillary’s private server. You remember that private server, don’t ya. The one Obama said he knew nothing about until he read about it in the newspaper. You know that private server that Hillary and Obama were e-mailing to each other back and forth well before Obama told the whooper later than he just heard about it in press reports.
    I find this whole leak thing as one big disinformation orchestrated CYA. They want us to focus on the mole. Funny, they started spying on the Trump Campaign well before the dossier. You remember that dossier, don’t ya? Months before that, they were spying on the Trump Campaign. Months. Just about the time they were scrambling to find all those missing e-mails. Maybe Trump had them? Big bad blackmail stuff, whoever has them. Like, nothing has been leaked as to what is in those missing e-mails. Nothing but bleach bot as soon as Hillary got a subpoena to produce them. Everybody thought Hillary would win and the whole shebang would just disappear. But nooooo. The Deplorables had other ideas.. Mark the tape!, ROFLMAO.
    Nope, the last leak in the lamestream is a big fat CYA and throw us off the trail. They tried to coordinate the timing of the leak. You know that last leak…. leaked stuff that the FBI has stonewalled Dunes and Congress from seeing for over a year now because of “national security”and to safeguard the identity of the “paid informant” in Trump’s Campaign. The stuff about who started the original probe and why? Tried to time it so that when Dunes finally got to read it, it got leaked. Tried to pin the super duper top secret national security leak on Nunes, but, of course, that blew up in their faces. Oh, the best laid plans of mice and men…..
    Nope, tried to do a pre-emptive CYA narrative with the talking points you just gave at us 6:27 pm before the IG report comes out. Guess they threw the mole under the bus to save their skins and throw us all off from looking higher up in the Administration than the FBI, for sure.
    All I want to know is why they started poking around in April, 2016, about the time Hillary hired Fusion GPS. About the time that the highest ranking member of the NSA (the CIA’s Boss) and the top dogs (only) in Obama’s inner security/advisor circle started a probe. What started that off the books investigation? Wasn’t young wet behind the ears George the Greek or Page, for sure.
    Debbie wants her laptop back bad and Obama and Hillary are wondering who has those damn e-mails. And why hasn’t Nunes been destroyed yet. Why, why, why?
    It’s package too neatly. Lynch, Clapper, BRENNAN (the former registered Communist Party USA voter) Rice, and Obama…..Nunes is on the trail and on their tail and now the shitstorm is getting closer. The noose is tightening. The dominoes are starting to fall…..all things point above Lynch.
