[It's clear that our liberal readers have a wildly different conception of 'witch hunt' than the rest of us.  The WH effort to discover the self-declared anonymous leaker and resister who wrote the NYT op-ed is an existential and legitimate target of an internal investigation to ferret out someone who promises to make shambles of presidential executive privilege.  There is nothing here to compare with what Mueller is doing in his investigation of Trump which is based on allegations and no evidence of 'Russian collusion' after an 18+ month probe into the affairs of Team Trump.  There was no culpable evidence to launch the investigation, and its interminable continuation is also based on nothing but the hope of perhaps finding something in future.  Now that is a witch hunt.  gjr]

    The WH briefing is a series of charts that put the lie to 0’s claiming credit for the economy. They all show the trends were way down and continuing down under 0. Than after the election they show dramatic upward trends.

    Oh my, back to polls.
    I did find it deliciously ironic that the Constitution signing re-enactment took place in Nevada City. Yep, some folks have trouble accepting both the results of the election and the orginalists view of the Constitution. Hmm. They were the ones who wrote the Constitution, but the Lefties are always trying to change it. Sweet.
    I found it deliciously ironic that Obama still does not get it. He blamed the rich and powerful for Trump standing on Hillary’s neck. Guess both Obama and Hillary think all those blue collar workers in Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania are the rich and powerful, lol.
    I also found it deliciously ironic Punchy points out (correctly) that not too many Obama voters in CA voted for Trump. Agreed. In fact, look at the poop filled sidewalks of the Santuary City by the Bay. Look at the places down there where fat balding men dress up in leather tutus and parade around in public.
    Trump only got 4-6% of the vote down in those precincts. Grown men with backless chaps riding on city buses spreading their diseases and grossness on seats for the new innocent riders to sit on. They voted 94% for Hillary. The entire Lefty population of CA voted for Hillary. Nevada City overwhelming voted for Hillary. Hillary rocks! Hillary rocks in Nevada City, the Castro District, and the streets piled high with human poop and discarded plastic caps of hypodermic needles. This be Hillary Country. Sweet.

    Just a reminder that Hillary easily won over Trump by 5% in 2016 solidifying Nevada County as a Blue County. It was the worst showing by a Republican Presidential candidate in at least 60 years.

    So it begins-the shunning…
    “Florida Republican Rick Scott is as close as any governor with Donald Trump.
    Yet it’s former President George W. Bush, no friend to Trump, who will join Scott at two fundraisers for a super PAC backing Scott’s Senate campaign Friday. It’s the latest instance of the Florida governor visibly tying his political fortunes to a prominent Republican other than the current president.
    Scott — who was frequently by Trump’s side at the White House and at his resorts in Palm Beach and Bedminster, New Jersey, in 2017 — began putting more distance between himself and the unpopular president this year as he geared up for a Senate run that Trump himself had repeatedly urged him to make. Scott also chaired the super PAC backing Trump’s 2016 presidential bid.”

    Yep, Punchy, my point exactly. Nevada City is Hillary Country. Nevada City is the stronghold of Hillary people. And even Stevie blamed Trump standing victoriously on Corrupt Hillary’s voicebox on rural white voters….rural white male voters like him and you, ROFLMAO. You win, Punchy. This be Hillary Rodclam Clinton territory. Nevada City is ground zero for Hillary in these parts. Of course, we need to identify “these parts”. Not the countynto the north, not the county to the south, and not the county to the west.
    Living in the Hillary Bubble surrounded by a sea of red must be really cool.
    ———————
    That Obama is something else. I don’t think he realizes yet that the ground has changed and folks no longer can stomach being lectured to by him. He just labeled Trump voters as divisive, resentful and paranoid. Lol. If he wants to see some real divisive, resentful, and paranoid voters, he should visit beautiful downtown Nevada City. They have Frisco Values there for sure.

Those big fat lies the Dems told In the hearings were even repeated here, Condoms are abortions, ROFLMAO. Liars! Liars! Fact became stranger than fiction
    Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) noted, “The best explanation of President Trump’s victory are the ‘results’ of the Obama Presidency!”
    Now Obama is blaming the Koch Brothers!!!! Oh my. Blame Fox News, blame the Koch Brothers. Let’s do the timewarp again. Wonder what the Divider-in-Chief will go all paranoid about next? I can’t believe it. Now Obama is saying Benghazi is a conspiracy theory and is blaming the voters for not voting Democrat. Ok. Blame the dumb hayseed voters. Sweet.
    Hey, gather around. Obama is shaming everybody for not voting Democrat. Of course he is speaking to college students in Chicago and now Blue California. He certainly knows where to go to preach to the choir. He has spouted those lies so many times that he is starting to believe it. Talk about paranoid. Built that big ole tall wall around his new home in DC to boot.
    Yep, Obama is right. The politics of division and paranoid has found a home…his home. Build a taller wall around it. Boo!
    Benghazi a conspiracy theory? Hmmm. Too late to ask Chris Stevens about his thoughts on that. Ah, the 3 AM call went to Hillary, not Obama. To this day, nobody knows where Obama was went after that call for “help SOS, help, under attack, help” came in. It’s a conspiracy! We know that Hillary e-mailed Chelsea, told her it was a terrorist attack. had a nice glass of vine, and retired early for the evening.

    “Hogg, who has a tenuous relationship with the truth, has repeatedly spread this lie which he seems to have come up with on his own:

    The truth is the NRA allegedly received $2,500 from a few people with Russian addresses over the course of a couple of years. Even CNN reports that “it’s not illegal for the NRA to accept contributions from foreign donors,” unless it were to use that money for “electioneering purposes.”

    Oh, Punchy just does not want to get deported back to the flatlands. He is quite sensitive to the possibility.
    Oh course people move here. They flee the urban jungles and the poop patrol in the lovely Santuary City by the Bay…as well as the diversity of Oakland. They move here because of its overwhelming white majority population, which, of course, translates into lower crime and a safer place to raise their children. And they probably think it’s a bargain at thrice the price to pay ten bucks to park at the river. State control of the forests, lol.
    In a way, Nevada County reminds me of Vermont. 94% or more white. A good place for socialism to tak hold would be Vermont with its hemonogious population and low crime and lots of people with fat wallets who escape the problems of the Democrat run cities. There is a lot in common with Nevada City and Bernie’s Vermont.

    In the letter, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., points in particular to two text message exchanges in April 2017 between now-fired FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page, in which the two discuss the bureau’s “media leak strategy.”
    “I had literally just gone to find this phone to tell you I want to talk to you about media leak strategy with DOJ before you go,” Strzok texted Page on April 10, 2017, according to Meadows, who cited newly produced documents from the Justice Department.
    Two days later, Strzok wrote, “Well done, Page,” and told her that two negative articles about Page’s “namesake” would soon come out. That was an apparent reference to Carter Page, the former Trump adviser whom the FBI surveilled for months after obtaining a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court.

    9/11 dates sure is are date filled with things to remember. In 1988 I was riding in the back of Amoz Seghezzi convertible down Broad Street in Nevada City in the Constitution Day Parade. I was seeking re-election to the Board of Supervisors. Some people started pointing back to the north and I turned and there was an A-Bomb=like mushroom cloud. It was the beginning of the 49er Fire. It burned 56 square miles and lots of structures.
    Bill Schultz and I were the Emergency members of the Board and we were ushered over to the Fairgrounds to view the crews and equipment headed out to fight the fire. Gene Albaugh, our CEO, was the top dog for emergencies. It was a well-done management day as the brave men and women of state and local fire departments went into harm’s way to fight the fire. Later CDF took Bill and me over the fire with their helicopter and we saw the devastation from above.
    Thirteen years later I sat on my couch in my home with the TV on and watched as a plane crashed into the second tower. I thought it was a movie until it became clear we were under attack. All those poor souls in the planes turned to ash in an instant. And then the souls in the buildings. I could not understand how or why people would do this. It was certainly a terrible day for America. But luckily we had Bush as President and he calmed the nerves and later went and kicked the asses of those terrorists.
