[CA fires continue to kill, destroy thousands of homes, and cost billions to contain. In the meantime prescription burns to reduce fuel loads are proscribed because of the potential of litigation costs from accidental or claimed damages from such burns. And police point out that mass shootings invariably occur in ‘gun-free zones’ where legal guns that could prevent/reduce deaths are banned. And the state’s housing shortage and high cost continue to be maintained by regulations and codes that cater to liberal governance dominated by the ecology epidemic. Insanity running rampant and on the rise. gjr]

“In an interview on CNN Sunday, retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling characterized McRaven as an “unbelievable patriot” and a “true servant” of the Constitution.
Asked about Trump’s comments on McRaven, Hertling responded: “Having someone like the president of the United States, a man that holds an office that’s supposed to represent all people and who says he supports the military, to just dismiss this great American hero as a guy who was a Hillary Clinton lover — which is patently not true — is just really disgusting. But it’s just another day in the life of the Trump administration I guess.”

re: McRaven
I don’t know how you can be a flag officer and not pick political sides. Keep in mind that he publicly went after Trump in his (McRaven’s) backing of Brennan and had tied himself to the Obama presidency. It would be nice if retired Presidents and Generals stayed out of current politics, but everyone gets a bullhorn these days.
The way that the Left wets itself in their full throated support for the national security state is a fun thing to watch, but their belief system was never what they said in any case. When the rubber hits hit road, to bring up another minor internet war, you can pick to back Assange or you can choose Eric Schmidt. Your answer will tell everyone a lot about you.

“Bin Laden was killed within the fortified complex of buildings that was probably built for him,[252] and had reportedly been his home for at least five years.[253][254] The compound was located less than a mile from Pakistan Military Academy and less than 100 kilometers’ drive from Pakistan’s capital.”

Oh boy. Reading Mexican social media and Mexican newspapers is eye opening. They ain’t taking kindly to foreigners crashing their southern border. No one bit. They don’t like the fact that the Hondurans in the caravan are trampling all over brand new clothes generously offered because they don’t have designer labels on them. The caravan members have been insulting the food and hospitality offered and its pissing the Mexicans off. Ingrates. Maybe not here in CA, but in Mexico mariguanos is a very derogative term. Meth heads, potheads, tweeters, and lazy drunks. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my.
“Tijuana’s mayor, José Manuel Gastélum, accused migrants in the caravan of being violent, crude, and “mariguanos” (“stoners”) and vowed to conduct an inquiry to decide if the city will continue to welcome them. Gastélum said the city may not have the resources to continue to shelter and support the caravan.”
“In a video clip from the confrontation—seen widely in Tijuana via Facebook—a young man from Honduras threatens to “machine-gun” anti-migrant demonstrators in the crowd.
“Viral videos and memes on social media have fueled much of the sentiment against the migrants.
“In another viral video, a Honduran woman complained to a news crew from Germany about a lunch of refried beans and flour tortillas migrants received at the shelter. “Look at it, it’s all refried beans, the sort of thing they’d feed to pigs,” she said.
“Several protesters referred to the video as an indication the migrants were ungrateful. There was one sign in the crowd to the effect that Mexicans proudly eat their beans. Groups of protesters in the crowd chanted that Hondurans were “pigs.”

You’ve got a lot of work to do. California is a one party State and are offering pathetic opposition to the Dems. It was a Blue Tidal wave in California. I’m counting on you to be a leader in this.
The election was a total bust for California republicans who now hold only 8 0f 53 House seats. They have a super-majority in the state senate with a vote to spare, meaning they can pass virtually any legislation without Republican help.
Also Democrats won every statewide office, each one by double digits. Not a single Republican collected as much as 39 percent of the vote.

That’s nothing. You should see the one Brenda Snipes replaced. That was a real incompetent Dem doozie.
“[Jeb] Bush’s case against Oliphant includes charges that:
– Twenty-four precincts failed to open on time during the 2002 primary, in part, because Oliphant decided to deliver supplies herself. She also failed to notify poll workers on time that Bush had extended voting by two hours.
– Oliphant never counted 268 absentee ballots in the 2002 primary election, even though they had proper postmarks. The ballots were found in a filing cabinet several months later, after state investigators were tipped to their presence during a criminal inquiry.
– Oliphant did such a poor job following state requirements to update voter rolls that 17,000 ballots were returned as undeliverable during a recent mail-in election to 100,000 voters……
Oliphant’s suspension derails a political career that began with work as a civic activist, leading to her 1991 appointment to the Broward School Board. Before Thursday’s action by the governor, the charismatic former model weathered a criminal investigation, a scathing audit and several ethics complaints in just three years in the $128,769-a-year job.
By 9:30 a.m. Thursday, dozens of county employees in the government center had heard the news and strolled by Oliphant’s first-floor office to see what was happening. A county locksmith stood by, waiting to change the locks once Oliphant left. By 11:15, Oliphant was escorted out of the office by deputies.
But the detailed report from the secretary of state’s office left the governor no choice, County Commissioner Josephus Eggelletion said. Eggelletion, a longtime Oliphant supporter, said he lost confidence this fall when she fired top staff members, including her chief financial advisor.
“It’s a bittersweet day,” said Eggelletion, a Democrat. “I don’t think it was an easy decision for the governor. It has not been an easy decision for people like myself and other black officials in the community.”

They should do what Jeb did her predecessor. March into Snipes’s office and bodily remove that ugly old crack First strip her naked, and hang her upside down like Mussolini. Theh let people spit on her and beat her with sticks and force her family members to watch. She should be executed. Florida has the death penalty for criminals like her.
But, noooo. Now she will be rewrded with a pension.
