   It’s a very sad state of affairs when the Dems, Progressives, Democratic Socialists are reduced to having Hollywood air heads ‘experts’ and the TDS media do all their speaking for them. I haven’t seen such a sorry state in all my born days.
   Looks like the Left are all on the same page and stand (or sit on their hands) to resist peace and prosperity, law and order, and putting America First. Add Americans First as well.
   Wonder what next week’s meltdown will be over? What will all those Drama Queens and Crisis Junkies be in upheaval over after this turd in the road is swept away? Probably another fine mess Obama left the playroom for adults to clean up. Best bring a big industrial sized shop vac.

    ‘’’Wow! This is in Grass Valley!! 😳 You will not believe what just happened… I pulled in to “Shell” to get gas and a drink. When I walked up and noticed these 2 cops watching a woman who was smoking while pumping gas.. I saw her & thought, “Is this lady stupid or crazy?!! With the cops right there too?!”
    But anyway, I went inside and got my drink. As I was checking out, I heard someone screaming.. I looked out the window & the woman’s arm was on fire! She was swinging her arm & running around going crazy! I ran outside & the cops had put her on the ground & were putting the fire out with their coffees!!
    Then they put handcuffs on her & threw her in the police car.. I was thinking “what kind of person smokes near a gas pump?!” But being the nosey person that I am, I asked the cops what they were arresting her for…The cop looked me square in the eyes & said … “WAVING A FIREARM!”

    Giving them a pass is so team 0, remember this when you hear one of them talk about the Trump campaign.
    Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, asked about a “Russian Roulette” passage in which one of Daniel’s staff members, Daniel Prieto, recounted a staff meeting shortly after the cyber coordinator was ordered by Susan Rice, President Obama’s national security adviser, to stop his efforts and “stand down.” This order was in part because Rice feared the options would leak and “box the president in.”
    “I was incredulous and in disbelief,” Prieto is quoted as saying in the book. “It took me a moment to process. In my head, I was like, did I hear that correctly?” Prieto told the authors he then spoke up, asking Daniel: “Why the hell are we standing down? Michael, can you help us understand?”

    Tozer at 7:46 – It cracks me up when when folks talk about Trump ‘starting’ a trade war with China. Trump is simply starting to fire back at a country that has been at war with us for decades. Tricky Dicky thought that ‘free’ trade with China would bring them around to our way of thinking re govt and society. It simply gave China entre’ to our mass markets and our corrupt politicians. Remember Wen Ho Lee? Clinton got Chinese money and Lee walked. The Chinese abuse their own citizens far worse than what the lefties accuse the Trump admin of doing to illegals. But the lefties love the Chi-Coms. They’re GREEN, because they promised at the Paris Climate Talks to increase their carbon footprint. Go figure.

    Change of pace….not really. Just another good column from Walter E. Williams, “Blind to Real Problems”
    Dr. John McWhorter, professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University, lamented that “victimology, separatism, and anti-intellectualism underlie the general black community’s response to all race-related issues,” adding that “these three thought patterns impede black advancement much more than racism; and dysfunctional inner cities, corporate glass ceilings, and black educational underachievement will persist until such thinking disappears.”
    As for black politicians and civil-rights hustlers, Booker T. Washington long ago explained their agenda, writing: “There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

    Robert Cross consistently shows the readers his lack of IQ and humor. Trump uses self-deprecating humor a lot. And he uses his large ego a lot. I think regular people get him and that is why he fills those arenas. Hillary got 400 people and she had to bribe them to come listen. Trump gets ten thousand inside and another five outside. If anyone or any group is totally moronic it is the left
    Pruitt is kicking the eco nuts nuts and they are all aflutter. Their pals in Congress on the left can’t hack that he will dry up their grant money that gets laundered back to them via contributions. Sort of like what will happen with the unions.

    Something to think about.: Imagine, if you will, Starbucks closing it’s stores in Seattle due to liberal policies. Imagine a Seattle without a Starbucks.
    “Tucked into his interview, Johnson made mention of the problems with running food service outlets in some of America’s biggest left-wing cities.
    The closing stores are often in “major metro areas where increases in wage and occupancy and other regulatory requirements” are making them unprofitable, Johnson said. “Now, in a lot of ways, it’s middle America and the South that presents an opportunity.”
    The inference is clear: large, liberal cities raising minimum wages have stifled growth, so Starbucks is beginning the process of fleeing the cities for the high growth, low wage south and rural areas of the nation where regulations are more friendly and exorbitant minimum wage laws are non-existent.”

    More missing in action from the lamestream fakenews machine –
    The Washington Post, at least since its latest rebrand in February 2017, prides itself on supposedly illuminating the threats and dangers to American democracy and the nation’s values. While in the Trump era, WaPo’s reporters, columnists and editors have generally agreed that the man in the White House himself represents the most dire of threats.
    Regardless of the accuracy of such a judgement, it is one a newspaper can hold and still remain honest and accurate. If that same paper has declared itself such an arbiter of the things threatening the country’s foundations, one would expect it to investigate all the controversies facing all facets of American society.
    In the case of WaPo’s coverage, there exists one growing controversy that has remained conspicuously uncovered: the conditions of Amazon’s workplace. (RELATED: Trump Wants Washington Post To Register As A Lobbyist For Amazon)
    Such conditions have been covered extensively in the mainstream press. A number of Amazon’s warehouse workforce has long complained about abusive conditions, with one reporter who went undercover as a warehouse worker for six months comparing it to a stint in prison.
    “I’ve worked in warehouses before, but this was nothing like I had experienced. You don’t have proper breaks — by the time you get to the canteen, you only have 15 or 20 minutes for lunch, in a 10-1/2-hour working day. You don’t have time to eat properly to get a drink,” the writer, James Bloodworth, told Business Insider.

    Now we know why Lois Learner is walking around free. The GOP were in on the trashing of Tea Party organizations. She was doing double duty.
    MCCAIN WAS NO FRIEND TO THE TEA PARTY: Judicial Watch Obtains IRS Documents Revealing McCain’s Subcommittee Staff Director Urged IRS to Engage in “Financially Ruinous” Targeting.
    The explosive exchange was contained in notes taken by IRS employees at an April 30, 2013, meeting between Kerner, Lerner, and other high-ranking IRS officials. Just ten days following the meeting, former IRS director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner admitted that the IRS had a policy of improperly and deliberately delaying applications for tax-exempt status from conservative non-profit groups.
    Lerner and other IRS officials met with select top staffers from the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in a “marathon” meeting to discuss concerns raised by both Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) that the IRS was not reining in political advocacy groups in response to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. Senator McCain had been the chief sponsor of the McCain-Feingold Act and called the Citizens United decision, which overturned portions of the Act, one of the “worst decisions I have ever seen.”
    In the full notes of an April 30 meeting, McCain’s high-ranking staffer Kerner recommends harassing non-profit groups until they are unable to continue operating. Kerner tells Lerner, Steve Miller, then chief of staff to IRS commissioner, Nikole Flax, and other IRS officials, “Maybe the solution is to audit so many that it is financially ruinous.” In response, Lerner responded that “it is her job to oversee it all.”
    So it seems that, as suspected, the GOP establishment was on the same page as the Obama Administration here.

    OK folks,, a question to all. I need an answer.
    Any shooter knows what Tannerite is. (targets that go BOOOOM!)
    What I have read, is that a PERMIT is required.(Like that is ANY surprise) Everywhere I look, it states, “contact your local sheriff for permitting”. So,, I did just that. Then I sit and wait…. And wait….And,,,,(yaaa) Only today did I get an answer.(well,,sorta)
    “Did you contact the state? You may need to contact them and get a blasting permit and licence.”
    In other words from our sheriff,,” We don’t have a clue. What is that stuff?)
    Now if a cop showed up in the middle of the fun inquiring about said tannerite, He would have no problem finding a crime to charge me with.( Yet not so bright in helping keeping me OUT of the clink)
    So.. Just where, and who, do I have to screw to get that permit?
