The Dem scumbags’ last-minute sexual assault case against Judge Kavanaugh has cratered, but having no depth limit to their mores and methods, they are now on a new “temperament” tack, attempting to disqualify him on the basis of “partisan bias” since he had the temerity to defend himself and his family by calling out the scumbags on the Senate judiciary committee. The lowlifes are setting new and historical records by the day.
Everyone will have to have a Real ID sooner of later, and the DMV is the local issuing agency. Columnist George Boardman tells us (1oct Union) that he is starting the process of getting one. Last January I was the first one to apply for my Real ID through our local DMV, and it was strictly a Keystone Cops affair, they had no idea what they were doing and screwed up the whole thing. It took me six weeks to get my new driver’s license with the Real ID issued, and I had to monitor and prompt their activities the whole way. It was finally issued by the state’s fraud department in Sacramento that oversees the confirmation of your application, supporting documents, and background check. For Mr Boardman’s sake, I do hope that the DMV has gotten its act together over the last nine months.
Everyone notice that New York state is trying stay the exodus of their successful producers by quietly proposing new lower tax rates for (gasp!) the rich. All this after their socialist governor Cuomo explained to his double dummy constituents that the reason people were leaving New York in droves was their sudden discovery of better weather in Florida and Texas. We have to always remember that according to progressive economics, a jurisdiction’s tax rates do not affect its commercial activity and economic decision making – want more gummint revenues? just raise taxes.

[2oct18 update] Amazon raised its minimum wage to $15/hr and is lobbying the feds to make that the law of the land. NPR and other lamestream outlets are happy dancing in the streets. None of them realize that this is just clever corporatism that increases labor costs for the small guys still trying to compete with Amazon. When $15 is the new national minimum, guess what’s going to happen to all the prices. There is no free lunch, since such arbitrary raises don’t increase productivity, they must inevitably raise prices. (Later from the 2oct18 WSJ) “Mr. Bezos’s $15 wage would be a lot more praiseworthy if he hadn’t combined it with a plea for government to raise the labor costs of his competitors. Beware when big business conspires with big government.”
Union cartoonist Bob Crabb (he and Jo Ann are also on the newspaper’s editorial board) wrote a column today (2oct18) in which he again declared his mid-road political sentiments and decried California’s ‘jungle primary’ (here). Mr Crabb would rather have an “instant runoff” that features all candidates wherein the voter is allowed to select first and second choices that can then determine a winner with just one election. My preference for the instant-runoff is a rating system wherein the voter can allocate different points to each candidate in the complete list of registered candidates. The points thus given are normalized, and the candidate with the highest total point-count wins. Among California’s many progressive maladies, our system is so sick that we continue to be forced to vote only for the Democrats’ Tweedledee and Tweedledum – more cleverly Bob nails this November’s choice as between “Tweedelstein and Tweedeleon”.
The senior scumbag from California, Senator Dianne Feinstein, doesn’t want to vote on Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation this week. Why? because it doesn’t give her enough time “to consider all the facts” from the FBI report. Not only that, but she doesn’t want the report’s contents made public. Whoulda thought? Not only does the Dems’ delay derby continue, but the Feinstein, Schumer, Pelosi, … crowd want to be the only ones to report and interpret what the FBI report says. Those paying attention already know that the FBI is essentially interviewing those already interviewed, and will in no case draw any conclusions or make any recommendations. Besides, there will be nothing in the report that will change any preconceived Democrat minds which have calcified on rejecting the nomination from the moment it was announced.
[3oct18 update] No one says it like Michael Ramirez.
Most Americans are distressingly ignorant about many important things, starting with our country’s governance and government. And these are the people the Left’s elites toy with as if they were naive children. A recent national survey (here) by the Woodrow Wilson Institute, no rightwing outfit by any measure, found that only one in three Americans can pass the citizenship test. To our local leftwing loonies, pointing out such a travesty instantly identifies you as a radical rightwinger, racist, multi-phobic, and on and on. From this group of the less than lightly read the Left hopes to cobble together the majorities that would allow it to reclaim the House and perhaps the Senate. For these people will believe most anything, including that the Cold War was caused by climate change. (H/T to reader)
