[A left-leaning friend, and no friend of Trump, cites the WaPo's latest dire prediction of a coming debt-crash, what with all these companies buying back their stock, returning money to shareholders, and paying additional compensation to their employees.  Anyone else hunkering down?  gjr]

That was just a few months ago. Trump said his button is bigger!! Run to the bomb shelters. We are going to die. Stop him! Somebody stop him.
    Before that it was because of Tax Reform Armageddon we are all going to die. Before that is because Trump is pulling us out of the Paris Climate Slush Fund, we are all going to die! Before that it was if we mess with the Unaffordable Care Act, 20 million will die on our streets!

    No, Paul, the county is clearly Purple… about half and half. About.
    Gavin Newsom (D) was indeed the leader with a plurality of 34.8% in his race. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th place finishers for Governator were Cox (R) at 25.4%, Allen (R) at 18.3%, and Chiang (D) at 6.3%… do the arithmetic. But statewide, there will only be Newsom and Cox on the ballot.
    Let’s give a round of polite applause for Zoltan Istvan, who volunteered to be a known loser for the Libertarian Party’s sacrificial lamb to the top-two ballot designed to insure 3rd parties will remain out of the picture, not to mention a 2nd party (the GOP for example) that doesn’t force out folks the party elite don’t want to muddy the Primary waters.
    LaMalfa buried the competition within Nevada County, 45.0% to the distant 2nd, Denney, at 18.3%, the two who will be on the November ballot. Funny how you rate Newsom as a clear winner in the county with 10.2% less of the vote than LaMalfa got.
    And that’s BEFORE the Janus decision that is expected to decimate Democratic Party cash flow in California.

    Yes, the Linda Campbell story in The Union is interesting.
    Not said is that the divorce proceeding at which LC demanded to get arrested was hers… from her wife who seems to be the one who started the divorce log rolling. There were apparently allegations by Dana Campbell of domestic violence against her by LC… but there is an indication that the DV order didn’t get past a hearing.
    I’m not a lawyer and have no knowledge of it beyond reading the cryptic court record notes. There is another hearing next Tuesday at 8:30AM.

    What is a bit puzzling to me is if Ms. Campbell wanted to be arrested for contempt of court, asked to be arrested, said it was her idea to be arrested, why did he/she/it resist arrest? Only thing that makes sense is she/he/it wanted the arrest on her terms and it’s terms only, not the officer of the court’s terms, aka, “Step outside, madam, man, whatever you are.”
    They should drop the contempt and nail it with the resisting arrest charge to be adjudicated before another judge. As they say, “If you dance with a sheriff in the morning, you will be late for lunch.”
    Darn, it is so hard writing this and being careful not to assume it’s gender. Ah heck, I’ll call it a her. At least I tried.
    To give her some slack, family law’s rules are a bit different than criminal law when it comes to practice, rules, and where the rubber meets the road. And the Court does (or in a perfect world should) recognize that this is a time of raw and uncontrolled emotions for the defendant and plaintiff. Breaking up is hard to do. With that said, sometimes enough is enough despite how much the Bench’s patience is stretched. After three years, family law courts get tired of seeing ya again and again.
    Bottomline: You demand the Court to arrest you? Request granted. 🙂

    I don’t think LC is fond of Dr. Rebane or his lovely intelligent bride. Neither does she appear to take a liking to math and objective stuff like that. Editorializing over.
    Ms Campbell, In her own words.
    Linda Campbell sez
    “All you are doing is using data to point fingers and blame THE GOVERNMENT, or focus on the symptoms rather than identifying the REAL Problem with a real solution. The problem and Medical Science proves it, is that your brain is an organ and part of human biology.
    As such Mental Health IS part of one’s physiology and not ones political a personal or political agenda.. You nor your husband do not have the knowledge, professional credentials or expertise to speak to this issue, and your series based on subjective rather than objective research reveals this..
    My question, why does the Union waste or devote so much ink and paper on Rebane’ continual use of disguising opinions as facts, the classic definition of propapaganda.
    As a life long reader and subscriber of the Union, getting tired of their ideas or minority ideology being imposed on the rest of Us.
    Bottom line, the solution lies in providing all Citizens, or We the People, with the same access to health care, as you and your husband currently enjoy under the Socialized Medical Care called Medicare. This Federal Government program has Administrative cost of 3 -5 percent, while the Private Insurance Health Care Administrative Costs are 20 percent. This includes the 8 per Cent Profit Margin that the Corporate Stockholder expect to earn every year.
    For example; I am forced to pay, due to lack of plans offered by the Private markets here in Nevada County, 1130. 00 per month for decent coverage of my health needs, I’m 62.
    That means approximately 200.00 per month goes to Management of which about 16.00 goes to the Corporate Stockholders pocket. In the mean time, that big ol tax break given to us by your big daddy President, resulted in a 1.50 decrease
    in my tax bill…but you don’t care, both of you and your political crowd or demographic don’t give a damn about “We The People”, as long as you have “yours” from the federal govt.who cares about “them” or it sucks to be US. Mrs. Rebane, you and your fellows, appear to be suffering from classic Dog in the Manger Syndrome.
    It’s simple, Public Education and Public Health Care is a Civil Right under the Ninth Amendment.
    Economics and Capitalism do not appear in the Constitution, these Behavorial Science concepts hadn’t been “invented” yet by Adam Smith.
    However General Welfare is, under our Vision or Mission Statement , The Preamble. Both of you might try reading it sometime. The Federalist Papers are not part of the Constitution..
    MEDICARE FOR ALL IS A CIVIL RIGHT. PLEASE STOP HOGGING THE PUBLIC TROUGH OF MEDICARE FOR YOURSELVES…”
    https://www.theunion.com/news/jo-ann-rebane-doing-the-math-on-mental-illness-and-homelessness/
    Hmm. Yes, the US Constitution does mention the word “welfare” twice, both times proceeded by the word “general” and never proceeded by the word “individual”. Nuff said.

    In the words of Linda Campbell:
    “This Federal Government program has Administrative cost of 3 -5 percent, while the Private Insurance Health Care Administrative Costs are 20 percent. ”
    I’m willing to have an argument about the way health insurance works, and I agree that Medicare is subsidized, but until people understand the cash flow and administrative overhead on Medicare there’s no point in the discussion. My guess is that they really believe that the insurance paperwork cost for Medicare is 3-5 percent, they really don’t think they are fibbing.

    Interesting delusions from Trustee Campbell.
    Here’s another view from an impeccably credentialed liberal lion of the law, Laurence Tribe:
    “It is a common error, but an error nonetheless, to talk of ‘ninth amendment rights’. The ninth amendment is not a source of rights as such; it is simply a rule about how to read the Constitution.”.
    Also, Adam Smith’s magnum opus on free market economics, the Wealth of Nations, was indeed published four months before the Declaration of Independence was signed (that’s 4 July 1776 for Ms. Campbell), 13 years before the Bill of Rights were submitted to the many States for ratification and 15 years before they were ratified.
    I expect that Hamilton, Jefferson and the rest of the dead white guys who wrote that stuff would have read it as soon as the first copies arrived in the Colonies, very possibly before Independence was declared, before the first shots were fired.

    Public education a civil right? Well, I think the US Constitution left that up to the states, and I ain’t no CA State Constitution expert. There is one group of people whose public education responsibility falls under the Great White Father in Washington…i. e., savages living on tribal lands…er….reservations.

    The swamp creatures are nervous –
    Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threatened to “subpoena” emails, phone records and other documents from lawmakers and staff on a Republican-led House committee during a tense meeting earlier this year, according to emails reviewed by Fox News documenting the encounter and reflecting what aides described as a “personal attack.”
    The emails memorialized a January 2018 closed-door meeting involving senior FBI and Justice Department officials as well as members of the House Intelligence Committee. The account claimed Rosenstein threatened to turn the tables on the committee’s inquiries regarding the Russia probe.
    “The DAG [Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein] criticized the Committee for sending our requests in writing and was further critical of the Committee’s request to have DOJ/FBI do the same when responding,” the committee’s then-senior counsel for counterterrorism Kash Patel wrote to the House Office of General Counsel. “Going so far as to say that if the Committee likes being litigators, then ‘we [DOJ] too [are] litigators, and we will subpoena your records and your emails,’ referring to HPSCI [House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence] and Congress overall.”
    A second House committee staffer at the meeting backed up Patel’s account, writing: “Let me just add that watching the Deputy Attorney General launch a sustained personal attack against a congressional staffer in retaliation for vigorous oversight was astonishing and disheartening. … Also, having the nation’s #1 (for these matters) law enforcement officer threaten to ‘subpoena your calls and emails’ was downright chilling.”

    True dat! Senate staffer’s indictment exposes the pitifully corrupt nature of Trump-Russia probe
    For example, in July 2017, two networks’ reporters called me about a congressional leak alleging that I had canceled my House Intelligence Committee testimony at the last minute without a reason — implying some headline-making drama. In reality, the opposite was true: The committee told my attorney, with plenty of notice, that it needed to postpone my hearing.
    Later that summer, a Washington Post reporter called me the day after my special counsel testimony — referencing the special counsel and a specific subject that had come up. Coincidence? I immediately called those who conducted the interview and warned that any more illegal leaks would have severe consequences — if that was what had happened. The reporter dropped the story which surely would have caused inflammatory headlines at my expense for being summoned by Robert Mueller’s team at all. As Washington insiders have said, it’s hard to find work when people think you might be indicted.
