    Gregory at 3:05 – yes it was in regards to the folks George named. I suppose I should have said ‘no one here’.
    But the lefty loons got set off and they will swear on their honor that they personally know quite a few war mongers that they can’t seem to remember the name of that try to make us afraid of wonderful lovable cuddly folks like Putin who just offed the latest reporter who couldn’t follow the rules. But The Lil Fat Guy and Putin, etal aren’t the problem. Trump is LITERALLY Hitler and he says bad things about reporters that lie and that’s obviously way worse than actually murdering a reporter.
    Actually the only folks I fear are the Americans that can’t handle the responsibility of living in a free nation and want to just throw away hard fought and hard gained freedoms just so it will piss off people they don’t like.

    Walking the walk –
    Turkey’s official Anadolu Agency reported Tuesday that three Saudi Arabian military advisers flew to the northern Syrian town of Kobani, also known as Ayn al-Arab, to meet with representatives of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, which is dominated by Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) but also includes Arab fighters. The Saudi advisers reportedly sought to create a new union of Arab groups in cooperation with Arab tribal Al-Sandid army.
    One day after a high-profile report in The Wall Street Journal last month revealed President Donald Trump’s plans to gather troops from allied Arab nations in a bid to bolster U.S.-backed efforts in Syria, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir stated that the kingdom was “in discussions with the U.S. and have been since the beginning of the Syrian crisis about sending forces into Syria.”

    Pssst Scott. Putin didn’t off the reporter. It was a propaganda media technique used by an anti-Putin journalist with help of the Ukrainians to draw attention to himself…just in case Putin was going to off him anyday now. Those journalists (and especially lefty journalists) really hog the spotlight and make every story about them. Kinda repugnant.
    Personally, I would like to see Trump pull off a deal with N. Korea just to watch Chris Hayes’s head explode on live TV.
    Quote time, oh goodie, goodie.
    Insight: “A ‘No’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘Yes’ merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.” —Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948)
    Village idiots: “The Founders gave us impeachment to answer a reckless, lawless, and dangerous president and every day that his behavior is accepted, every day that you don’t oppose it, it becomes enshrined as the way things are done. You have normalized this presidency, you have normalized his behavior.” —billionaire leftist Tom Steyer
    The BIG Lie: “The fact that children are being torn out of the arms of their mothers is on Donald Trump’s head and nobody else’s.” —Sen. Liz Warren (D-MA)
    Demo-gogues: “Friends who know me, know that I love football. But I won’t be watching this NFL season because of the unfair, cowardly and idiotic kneeling ban.” —Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), who hates patriotism as much as Colin Kaepernick does
    Braying Jenny: “Tone starts at the top, and we like to look up to our president and feel as though he reflects the values of our country.” —former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett responding to Roseanne Barr’s tweet and blaming Trump for it
    Braying Jackass: “Roseanne’s problem turned out to be that she far too authentically represented the actual worldview of a significant chunk of the Trump base.” —MSNBC’s Chris Hayes (“This is how you got Trump.” —Ben Shapiro)
    Hollywood glitterati: “The hate that has been spewing from those in Trump’s orbit has really taken a toll on all of our souls and psyches.” —”Will & Grace” star Debra Messing
    And last… “If only Roseanne had attended those Starbucks diversity training sessions, all this could have been avoided.” —Ben Shapiro

    “A California church flirts with an unusual social experiment: to never call police again”
    ‘Standing on the front steps of First Congregational Church of Oakland late last month, Nichola Torbett issued a declaration.
    “We can no longer tolerate the trauma inflicted on our communities by policing,” Torbett, a white church volunteer, said in front of churchgoers who held photos of African Americans shot dead by law enforcement. The church, she promised, would never call the cops again in nearly every circumstance. Dozens of members had agreed to do the same.’

    ”’This isn’t just an occupation, it’s a way of life. Right now farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers across the countries are looking to Congress for a strong farm bill.
    Because life on the farm isn’t what it used to be. Today, farmers are suffering some of the worst rates of suicide in the nation. Stress to make ends meet, social isolation, downturn of the market, low farm income, regulatory strains, and lack of treatment options all make it hard for farmers to get the help they need.
    That is why I introduced legislation to boost resources specifically for farmer’s mental health. With the support of Chairman Conaway and the House Agriculture Committee, I am proud to report help is on the way.
    Our farmers who feed the world are feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders. It’s time we get them the help and care they deserve.”’

    California Repubbers numbers are pathetic
    “SAN FRANCISCO — The state that spawned the “Reagan Revolution’’ and Richard M. Nixon just experienced a watershed moment — the California Republican Party was officially relegated to third-party status.
    In the culmination of the withered state GOP’s long slide toward near-political irrelevance here, new voter registration data released this week show the once-robust party trails behind both Democrats and “no party preference” in the nation’s most populous state. The California Republican Party is now outnumbered by independent voters by 73,000, according to Political Data Inc., which tabulates voter file data from county registrars.”

    “California Repubbers numbers are pathetic”
    I can’t disagree, although a lot of it is obviously demographics. It’s worth considering what the Democratic party will fission into since it really doesn’t share a common core.
    Given that there are scarcely any Republicans in CA (aside from evil flyover counties), why are there so many homeless? why isn’t the health system any better? why are the schools in trouble? why the income disparity?
    It looks to me like nothing that Democrats claim to want actually happens when they drive the bus. It’s a funny thing. The main side effect of Democratic rule appears to be beefing up government bureaucracy as a form of jobs program. Well, that and human poop in the street.

    @ 9:33am
    “Back to Eden Bakery is 100% committed to … dismantling the white-supremacist heater-patriarchy,” Blomgren wrote.”
    Funny thing is how quick the most bleeding heart libs go to any lengths to prove there isn’t a racist white-supremacist heater-patriarchyone bone in their bodies. The accusation is far worse than the “crime” committed. The phrase “white liberal supremacists” was on my mind this morning, First time I read that phrase was on a couple signs carried by outspoken BLM members when they took Bernie’s microphone from his hand on stage in a rally in Seattle in 8/2015. The Lefties certainly do not like being pinned as white liberal suprematists.
    “Instead of protesting these issues and calling them what they are, racist, most liberals just go along with them. They don’t want to start trouble, when it is in their own backyards, so they remain silent and complicit in their everyday liberal white supremacy. However, in the case of Charlottesville, a place that seems far removed from liberal bubbles in the North, it is easy for these same parents, who refuse to speak up other days of the year, to condemn white supremacy. These liberals also have a special hatred for Donald Trump and a special love for Barack Obama. These political opposites serve the same psychological function for a lot of liberal “white” folks. Enthusiastically embracing Barack Obama allowed “white” liberals to prove they didn’t have a racist bone in their bodies in the same way that hating Donald Trump did.
    Since the election of Donald Trump, it seems that identifying as a liberal has become, to some, a radical act. I want to caution my liberal comrades against this. Consider what Malcolm X had to say about “white” liberals and conservatives:
    The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political “football game” that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives.
    Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball through tricks of tokenism: false promises of integration and civil rights. In this profitable game of deceiving and exploiting the political politician of the American Negro, those white liberals have the willing cooperation of the Negro civil rights leaders. These “leaders” sell out our people for just a few crumbs of token recognition and token gains. These “leaders” are satisfied with token victories and token progress because they themselves are nothing but token leaders.
    The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox.
    The job of the Negro civil rights leader is to make the Negro forget that the wolf and the fox both belong to the (same) family. Both are canines; and no matter which one of them the Negro places his trust in, he never ends up in the White House, but always in the dog house. (End of Malcom X quote.)
    Both types of white supremacy do not challenge the dominant white racial frame. In fact, they support it. Liberal white supremacists are concerned with finding evil racists that allow them to look good. They do not challenge the racial or economic status quo unless it is safe to do so and then only if it does not upset their social and economic positions. They would deny that they are white supremacists, because they do not say racist things, but they are just as culpable in maintaining the larger system of white supremacy.

    Nope, don’t pin that label on me!! Even civil liberty lawyers don’t like that label one bit.
    “These students have clearly made up their minds about free speech: they don’t want to share it with anyone else—especially Nazis, but also civil liberties lawyers who happen to be experts on the thing they are willfully misunderstanding: the First Amendment. Their ideological position is obviously incoherent—Liberalism is white supremacy? What?—and would not stand up to scrutiny, which is probably why they have decided to make open debate an impossibility on campus. They really shouldn’t get away with this.”

    Well Bessee, I still haven’t received a clear explanation of your military service. As somebody who professes love for all things military, I would expect you to be proud of your military service. Maybe not.
    Meanwhile, you’re wasting your time filing a complaint against Joey Jordan because she was clever enough to buy “billsmethersforsheriff.com” while the big brains running his campaign fumbled the ball.
    They even thought they owned the site when they submitted Smethers’ candidate statement for the voter handbook. This is the kind of inattention to detail I would expect from the campaign for the “executive” lieutenant who turned the narco unit into a Keystone Cops operation when he was running it in 2015.
    If the names of Smethers, Roscoe P. Coltrane and Buford T. Justice were on the ballot, I know who I wouldn’t vote for.
    But Jordan did nothing to enhance her reputation by denying she bought the web site. Of course she did. Does she really think people are stupid enough to believe her denial?
    Still, what she did isn’t against the law–even Todd knows that! Your complaint is a waste of time.

    I enjoyed the story about the attempts by the city to move the homeless camps along the “river” to the Angels parking lot and adjoining paved lots used for parking.. They got their plan together, did the necessary background work, and held a meeting to announce the move. Then someone spoke up and asked where in the heck is the running water or bathroom facilities these hundreds of folks will need? They were going to place then on hot pavement with nowhere to pee nor running water, electricity, nor nary a drinking fountain. The idea was nixed, lol.

    McCabe was fired after the Justice Department’s watchdog said he lied to investigators reviewing the bureau’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s email server. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said McCabe had not been forthcoming in regard to the handling of the FBI’s probe.
