George Rebane
Instead of my regular KVMR commentary, News Director Paul Emery suggested we do a little one-on-one for tonight’s news program. So we sat down for a little gabfest about the election. Paul asked me for any surprises on the outcome, and chowder-head me responded that things went pretty much as I had expected, while completely overlooking my total disappointment and frustration with the failure of Prop6 – you know, the repeal of the most recent California gas tax bamboozle from Sacramento.
Prop6 went down to solid defeat in California in the hands of a partisan majority of voters that over the years has vacillated between insanity and terminal stupidity. CA already has the highest gas taxes in the land, much of them from previous initiatives promised by the lying sacks of s#!t in Sacramento that the taxes would go to fix CA’s roads and bridges. Well, what has happened is that these tax receipts go directly into the state’s general fund to finance an endless number of programs and purposes – e.g. bullet trains, smelt salvation, succoring illegal aliens, funding govt workers pension liabilities, attracting evermore of the nation’s welfare recipients, … – that continue to leave us in an ever bigger mess. And with already the highest gas taxes in the land, we continue to pay these fraudulent takings without even a peep.
So now our roads are really a mess, and that looks like a perfect opportunity for some capitol scumbags to go to the voters – over half of whom pay no taxes, and a third of whom get regular government checks – and ask them to dance another round of the SOSO samba. Only this time the bill will be even more smelly because it has a built-in ratchet that keeps upping it ad nauseum over the years. Those Californians who pay attention did put out the word on Prop6, pointing out that these new taxes will do nothing except increase the cost of transportation (especially for the poor), while once more destined for the state’s general fund to finance the ever greater insanities and inanities from Sacramento.
Defeating such an obviously fraudulent proposition should have been a no-brainer, hence it was designed precisely for those not so encumbered. But like Lucy with the football, our Charlie Brown electorate again fell for the ‘can’t you see all them chuckholes and cracks and … all of which need fixin’?’ And, of course, today all them cracks etc are way bigger and more numerous and easier to see than last time, so the state’s not so nimble numbnuts dutifully checked the proper box to keep the most recent and onerous gas tax in place as the scumbags are already planning the next tax to fix the roads and bridges – hell, why stop a perfectly good bamboozle designed exactly for the kind of voters we worked so hard to attract, ‘educate’, and put in place. No one out there in VoterLand asks what is the word for doing the same thing while expecting a different outcome.
Oh well, on the national scene things went a little better. The Dems won the House, but the best they can do there is start more dead-end investigations of President Trump and the Executive branch, with a possible impeachment swipe at Justice Kavanaugh. Republicans actually will welcome that kind of blatant congressional obstruction which will demonstrate to the country that just putting the new and more aggressive socialist Left in power is going to do nothing to get Congress legislating for the people’s needs.
President Trump’s first-half accomplishments re the tax cut, regulation rollback, foreign policy, and immigration will stay in place. The border will not be secured, and healthcare costs will continue increasing with the bastardized system now metastasizing like a cancer. It will be easy to focus the spotlight on the source of stagnation, and Trump will have something very solid and visible to run on in 2020. The lamestream will have a hell of time ramping up their Fake News Machine enough to hide the source of grit and gravel grinding in the gears of government.
Meanwhile, the Dems will also have to work out their Gerontology Optics Problem with a leadership headed by Nancy the Penultimate Facelift, and backed up by a crowd of cretins like Mad Max Waters, Elijah Cummings, Comrade Bernie, Vacuum Head Ocasio-Cortez, the ‘Capitalist Bones’ of Fauxahontas, True Colors DiFi, SlyEye Chuckie Schumer, all straight out of Central Casting. Every one of these will be on daily display filling countless screens across the land. In the meantime, Trump will have a solid Senate majority to confirm and emplace as many constitutional judges and justices as are on his lengthening short-list. All in all, not a bad night.

That’s right, Paul, and that’s different than the various twists you gave it.
So, Paul, of the what, 3%, you don’t think 1.5% could be due to the fact LaMalfa didn’t come back for any event in or near Nevada County, the brickbats thrown by The Union over no debates in or near Nevada County, the constant pounding by letters to The Union by the same folks who chased out real people from the “town hall”?
The “poll” widget at The Union is symbolic of the thumb they put on the scale for Denney.
You seem to have a pathological drive to find some reason to paint the county irretrievably Blue. It isn’t. The area is as balanced between Red and Blue as is possible, and I don’t see the GOP side of things trying to claim otherwise. Grow up… the anti-Progressive side isn’t going away and it isn’t collapsing.

“And how beautifully does that work out for Trump? In Nancy Pelosi, liberals are about to hand to the GOP the gift that just keeps giving. Pelosi is in many polls the least popular politician in America — she’s less popular than even Donald Trump. If the Democrats were a semi-sane party and not handcuffed to the identity politics……
“The midterms were the equivalent of an NFL preseason game. All that matters for the future direction of the country and breaking the back (figuratively) of the far left is 2020 and getting Trump reelected. Given the results on Tuesday, his odds of reelection have gone up — fairly considerably.
In other words, Pelosi will give Americans a front-row seat into what “progressive” governance looks like up front and personal when the crazies are back running the show. It isn’t pretty, but it’s much better for voters to discover the madness of the modern Democratic party now than two years from now when the stakes will be so much larger. Trump finally has what he’s been missing since he vanquished Crooked Hillary two years ago: a foil.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Donald Trump is the biggest winner in last week’s midterm elections.“

You can make that case, although perhaps it’s just a mental trick to make losing the House feel better.
If you view Donald Trump as the standard bearer for a new third party which will consume the Republicans (or, as Blue Mob Soul Brother #1 charmingly sez: “pubbers”), then this really isn’t a game being played between two parties. Lots of craziness opportunities from Da Mob which won’t play all that well in Michigan or Ohio, shared blame for the inevitable stock market decline(s), I can see the idea here.
Dunno if Blue vs. Red matters in Nevada County as it could well be a charred color at some point in any case. Hopefully all those trees in Nevada City that require 3 arborists, prone supplication at the Planning Commission, and many forms to cut down won’t be any trouble.
