[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]

A day after Florida’s election left top state races too close to call, a Democratic party leader directed staffers and volunteers to share altered election forms with voters to fix signature problems on absentee ballots after the state’s deadline.
The altered forms surfaced in Broward, Santa Rosa, Citrus and Okaloosa counties and were reported to federal prosecutors to review for possible election fraud as Florida counties complete a required recount in three top races.
But an email obtained by the USA TODAY NETWORK-Florida shows that Florida Democrats were organizing a broader statewide effort beyond those counties to give voters the altered forms to fix improper absentee ballots after the Nov. 5 deadline. Democratic party leaders provided staffers with copies of a form, known as a “cure affidavit,” that had been modified to include an inaccurate Nov. 8 deadline.
One Palm Beach Democrat said in an interview the idea was to have voters fix and submit as many absentee ballots as possible with the altered forms in hopes of later including them in vote totals if a judge ruled such ballots were allowed.

650 nabbed in Arizona Yuma Sector in the last two days. Central Americans not part of the caravan. De facto open borders is here.
Yuma is seeing a huge spike and it’s a concern because they don’t have the facilities to process the cases,” she said, adding a majority of the people detained are released to local charities or even at bus stations because federal facilities are overwhelmed. “Most people apprehended and released are not staying in the area … they go join the illegal immigrant population.”
https://www.foxnews.com/us/more-than-650-illegal-immigrants-crossing-southern-border-detained-in-arizona-over-two-days
Vinny Dulesky, the special operations supervisor for Yuma Sector public affairs, told Fox News on Thursday that the majority of the groups came in through the east side of the port of entry and had cut through their metal fences to cross in.
He said he did not know the extent of the damage to the fences, but expected fixing them could cost upwards of $1,600 for each one.

Does not make sense that we let the Maltese Professor in the US as a guest of the State Department if he was a Russian spy in 2017. That would mean the US, the British, all the intell agencies of the West did not catch on him being a Russian spy. Now why would a Russian spy want to come to the US to testify? Maybe because he is a Western Intelligence Agent.

-Punchy 445pm
I call BS on the claim that “all the repubs are leaving according to real estate agents”. Pure BS.
Really, Paul, the County is balanced, Dem and GOP. Dahle was behind his challenger in the county less than 1%… and ahead of her overall 2:1.
Denney was given kid glove treatment by the local press, and LaMalfa was raked over the coals. Not to mention Denney’s false claims to be a farmer (without a farm) and an educator (without a classroom to teach in). Her ‘great job’ that she’s going back to is as a “learning designer”, which, according to my research, is someone who breaks up a lesson (not exactly college material) into four minute chunks and then tries not to bore the ‘learner’ who can be expected to look at their phones every few minutes.
That’s not education like any I experienced.
Denney made hay about growing up with her mom and dad on their farm… but not so much that her parents split and her mom remarried… to an Episcopal priest like her mom and her sister. And the farm went away at some point, either due to the economy tanking or divorce, which is unclear.
Denney had the good fortune to have a bunch of true believers locally… and they weren’t above making stuff up when asked.

Anyone who doesn’t show the expected level of outrage will be labeled a coward or an apologist for bad behavior.
