[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]

    Bill, you’re smarter than that. Cal has lots of red because no one lives there and it’s sparsely populated desert and forest land. Modoc County for example. AS I noted even Orange county is Blue now.

    I concede that the democrats control California. They ran out the R’s and backfilled with the poor, homeless and welfare folks. The R’s have adiosed to greener pastures. Now we see the true “great divide” as your democrats have the 1% ( in your terms) paying for the rest. I did my best but the slackers get to vote and they have the most voters now. Good luck!

    Well, let’s look at the news.
    Hmmm. Scott loses 700 Machine counted votes because someone did not know how to impute the tabulations of votes into the computer, so they missed the deadline and have to recount and recount by hand over and over again, everywhere….after many admonishments from the judge and missing too many deadlines. The Dems wanted to get their hands on the ballots for filling in the blanks anyway. Delay was their plan. Dilution is the solution.
    A national guardman got busted for smuggling in illegals. Good money in that racket. Why am I not surprised that it was CA National Guard pussy and he was AWOL? Where do they find these low lives? Maybe he will be found hanging in his cell. Hope so.

    What else in the news? Oh, the Maltese Professor is important because it MAY prove “The Russians have dirt on Hillary” was from a “western intelligence agent”, not from a Russian source. Concerns the FISCA warrant app.
    You know how Justice and Clapper and Brennan and ALL the popinjays have been saying that it was not JUST the Clinton Campaign/DNC paid for Yellow Snow Dossier, there is other evidence!” Well, if the Maltes Professor testifies like he says he will, that means all that other “exculpatory” evidence was from and originated from our side Come on, they got pics of him with Boris Johnson and all the British intel bigwigs, lol.
    The boss who ran the operation on the British side up and quit unexpectedly just as Trump’s Inauguration Day can to pass. Odd. 50 years old, just two years on the job running GCHQ and before that was the GCHQ’s intelligence liaison to the United States. Right as he achieved the pinnacle of his career, he ups and quits. Only 50 years old and has family issues to attend. Boris wrote wonderful things about him, who technically was under Boris’s oversight.
    Odd as well on our side of the Pond. The top counterintelligence lawyer in the land, the head of the DOJ-National Security Division, signed the Carter Page warrant and up and quit in Oct, 2016. He was a young man as well, about 54 years old. Former position was Meuller’s chief of staff. Right at the pinnacle of his career he takes a corporate lawyer job.
    Dr. Rebane dropped a comment a long time ago that I have held close to me weary heart concerning this whole Russian Collusion Delusion. He said simply, “the British connection.” Makes sense that Trump would not release the FISA warrant app because he stated concerns of “foreign assets” or foreign government concerns. Now Meuller is going after Nigel, ROFLMAO. Anyway.
    What else in the news today? Ok, MAGA means Michael Avenatti Got Arrested. Lame. An recycled story from Oct. 18 that the FBI raided the wack job Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico’s office’s for corruption. Not mismanagement, but corruption. So, what else is new.
    Oh, Acosta got his press pass back, temporarily. Wasn’t given due process, still not a 1st Amendment issue. Like lifting a temporary restraining order until the parties come back to court. Yawn.
    Guess it is all normal. Nothing to see here, there, Florida, Gloria or anywhere. Oh, it looks like the first Korean-American elected to Congress (R-CA) , after all this time and congratulations, suddenly will be defeated. Odd.

    For those uninitiated (PaulE?) in the ways of welfare and entitlement governance, once a state starts paying unproductive gimmes and making life easy for them, it starts a one-way process of attracting ever more of the same kind of people. All who can come from less desirable regions will come. In California we have seen the establishment of ‘San Francisco values’ in countless communities that formerly were the clean and orderly homes to productive workers who have been displaced to ever more smaller conclaves in the state, if not having emigrated elsewhere. Orange County is another poster child, and a new symbol of pride for the state’s progressives.

    Elections 2018….outside our Nirvana Zone.
    It is highly unlikely that Democrats will succeed in their efforts to steal the elections in Florida and Georgia, so why all the lawsuits and delay tactics? It’s all designed to create a narrative for the future, while at the same time seeking to diminish the legitimacy of the vote if it goes the Republicans’ way. The narrative? The only reason Republicans won was because they suppressed the vote by refusing to accept “thousands” of votes and therefore they are a danger to the democratic process itself. Never mind that there is not a shred of evidence supporting this spurious accusation, and in fact, that Democrats were the ones caught engaging in lawless behavior. The mainstream media will happily “remind” voters come next election how Republicans sought to suppress the vote and the “will of the people” in Florida and Georgia, while conveniently ignoring Democrat shenanigans. Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election have nothing on Democrat schemes to undermine election integrity.

    As an aside, here’s a little verbiage.

    the term “semiautomatic assault weapon” means—
    (A) a semiautomatic rifle or semiautomatic shotgun that has the capacity to accept a detachable ammunition feeding device; or
    (B) a semiautomatic pistol that has—
    (i) the capacity to accept a detachable ammunition feeding device; and

    (ii) any one of the features described in subsection (b); (note: subsection (B) is a small list of rather meaningless features)

    So now a Browning BAR is a ‘semiautomatic assault weapon’. Good news for the deer I guess. I keep waiting for the Mini-14 people to start getting nervous one of these days.

    Another reason they need to cut a deal –
    Compounding the instability of Belt and Road – also known as One Belt, One Road (OBOR) – financing is the stress placed on China’s economy by its trade war with the United States. The conflict has gone more poorly for Beijing than anticipated, leaving it with less money to spend on Belt and Road at a crucial moment when developing countries are rethinking their commitment to the project and private investors are backing away.
    The prospect of making Third World countries dependent on Chinese engineers to maintain their expensive new trains and power stations is tremendously appealing to the Communist Party but not for the Chinese engineers actually charged with doing the work, or the companies that pay their salaries. Some of the countries where China is pushing huge Belt and Road projects with lousy profit margins offer few business opportunities that would entice CEOs to swallow their losses on infrastructure construction.
    Also unappealing for Chinese executives is the prospect of getting charged with “corruption” and “disappearing” into the prison system when the Politburo is displeased with their decisions. The fate of one such executive demonstrated what AEI drily described as “a risk-reward trade-off that most private firms would flee.”

    Quotes:
    Insight: “The main evil of the present democratic institutions of the united states does not raise, as is often asserted in Europe, from their weakness, but from their irresistible strength. I am not so much alarmed at the excessive liberty which reigns in that country as at the inadequate securities which one finds there against tyranny.” —Alexis De Tocqueville (1805-1859)
    Belly laugh of the week: “I have always believed in the presumption of innocence but I know Michael Avenatti is not a fan of that principle. Out of respect for his preferences, I will therefore assume that he is guilty as hell.” —Matt Walsh
    Ouch: “Bad news is because he hit a woman, Avenatti probably won’t be President. Good news is he still has an excellent chance of becoming DNC Co-Chair.” —Stephen Miller
    For the record: “Last week, Florida voters elected me as their next U.S. Senator and now the ballots have been counted twice. I am incredibly proud and humbled by the opportunity to serve Florida in Washington. Our state needs to move forward.” —Rick Scott
    Oh good grief: “If [Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams] had a fair election, she already would have won.” —Hillary Clinton, who believes her own electoral defeat was unfair
    Braying Jackass: “I think people are tired of what’s happening. … We cannot have a truculent child president. We need something serious.” —John Kerry (Donald Trump is serious about putting America first. Barack Obama was serious about putting America last.)
    A trip through the echo chamber: “Every place I go, people say … ‘Thank you for saving America.’” —House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
    And last… “Here’s an idea. Give Acosta back his press pass. Next time (& every time) Acosta grandstands… End the press conference. Immediately. Until Acosta’s journalist colleagues (whom he disrespects by hogging time showboating), peer pressure him into behaving like an adult.” —Liz Wheeler

    The evil rich white racist Betsy Devos and the new Title IX rules. The sky is falling!
    “Interestingly, however, the proposed rules prohibit the accused himself from cross-examining the accuser — instead requiring that questioning come from an “advisor.” While some complain this limits the rights of the accused, as a practical matter advisers (attorneys, for example) are far better equipped to cross-examine witnesses than are undergraduates or young graduate students.
    “In addition to mandating cross-examination, the proposed rules grant both parties “equal opportunity to inspect and review evidence obtained as part of the investigation that is directly related to the allegations raised in a formal complaint.”
    “The rules also dispense with the single investigator/adjudicator model that allowed universities to place a single person in the position of investigator, prosecutor, and adjudicator. There were no safeguards against bias. Again, this requirement is so basic that it’s simply stunning that it has to be articulated.
    “The new proposed rules, by contrast, apply controlling language from the Supreme Court to define sexual harassment as sexual assault, quid pro quo harassment, and “unwelcome conduct on the basis of sex that is so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the recipient’s education program or activity.”

    We would be remiss to overlook the last sentence on the 2nd link posted above.
    “Even on this front, though, the critics of Title IX reform seem to forget that the students who face sexual misconduct adjudication on campus are—as best we can tell—disproportionately men of color and immigrants. Who will speak for them, if not civil liberties organizations?”
    —————————————
    “In the 2013–14 academic year, 4.2 percent of Colgate’s students were black. According to the university’s records, in that year black male students were accused of 50 percent of the sexual violations reported to the university, and they made up 40 percent of the students formally adjudicated.
    “As best we can tell, Colgate isn’t an outlier. Yoffe notes that male students of color are “vastly overrepresented in the cases I’ve tracked.” Harvard University Law Professors Janet Halley and Jeannie Suk, who pay attention to Title IX cases and have written about the lack of due process for accused students, share this impression. I do as well.
    “Left-leaning victim advocacy groups must at least be aware that college investigations are racially problematic. But they seldom acknowledge this. In fact, the people behind the major activist film about rape on campuses, The Hunting Ground, claimed the purpose of their movie was to undermine the “dominant white male power” that pervades the sexual assault crisis. But this is nonsense: as Yoffe notes, in at least three of the four sexual misconduct disputes featured in The Hunting Ground, the accused was a student of color.”

    re DonB 256pm – In France we see one of the more benign places where socialism is at work taking down a country. Other countries practicing socialism are more advanced in their descent. Progressives want America to catch up.
    Any productive debate/discussion of governance in America should always begin with the Left explaining how dozens of cities under liberal Democrat control for decades have also descended into what may charitably be called shithole cities – cities with devastated inner cores and central regions that have induced those who could, to leave for the suburbs. When progressives can explain away how their control of the country will not follow the descent of THEIR cities, then maybe we can start making some progress. Otherwise we continue the empty exercise of talking past each other.
    I suppose the first step is to acknowledge the existence of shithole cities.

    On Sunday, displeased Tijuana residents waved Mexican flags, sang the Mexican national anthem and chanted “Out! Out!” in front of a statue of the Aztec ruler Cuauhtemoc, 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) from the U.S. border. They accused the migrants of being messy, ungrateful and a danger to Tijuana. They also complained about how the caravan forced its way into Mexico, calling it an “invasion.” And they voiced worries that their taxes might be spent to care for the group.
    “We don’t want them in Tijuana,” protesters shouted.
    Juana Rodriguez, a housewife, said the government needs to conduct background checks on the migrants to make sure they don’t have criminal records.
    A woman who gave her name as Paloma lambasted the migrants, who she said came to Mexico in search of handouts. “Let their government take care of them,” she told video reporters covering the protest.

    No, the Mexicans are not White Supremists. The caravan was ok as long as the Central Americans kept moving along. Passing through? Why, by all means. Not moving along is not ok. The Mexican lady is correct. The members of caravan are “ungrateful”.
    The Mexicans have pride. National pride. And they know the difference between a demand and a request. Too bad the organizers of the caravans don’t. Short story:
    The Niños Héroes (Spanish: [ˈniɲos ˈeɾoes], Boy Heroes), also known as the Heroic Cadets or Boy Soldiers, were six Mexican teenage military cadets. These cadets died defending Mexico City’s Chapultepec Castle from invading U.S. forces in the 13 September 1847 Battle of Chapultepec, during the Mexican–American War. According to legend, in an act of bravery, Juan Escutia wrapped the Mexican flag around his body and jumped from the top of the castle in order to keep it from falling into the hands of the Americans.
    The Niños Héroes are a key part of Mexico’s patriotic folklore, commemorated by a national holiday on September 13.

    “Hillary Clinton fan,” Trump snapped, cutting off Wallace. “He’s a Hillary Clinton backer and an Obama-backer, and frankly … wouldn’t it have been nice if we got Osama bin Laden a lot sooner than that?”
