["Policy makers should view the problem from the starting point of today, and resolve to take action on every front. America must restore the norm of gainful employment for all who are mentally and physically able and are not working in the home. The private and public sectors must share responsibility for equipping every American, college-bound or not, with marketable 21st-century skills. Congress and state legislatures should restructure public benefit programs to encourage work and ensure that workers earn a living wage. Finally, the nation must enact public policies that sustain the labor market through downturns, making it possible for every able worker to find a job."  From the dreams of disconnected policy pundits.  (more here) ]

    What’s your point Todd? Audrey Denney carried Nevada County by around 10% Does that mean Nevada County has a majority of voters that are “ignorant of life and politics”? Nevada County is, of course, a Blue County in a very Red district. A Blue pimple as some like to call it.

    Shut it down! Mid-terms are over, no more Mr. Nice Guy. Trump 2.0 is Trump on steroids. And release all the docs that show what the Dirty Tricks Dems were doing and what our Intell agencies were doing in collusion with to facilitate the Russian frameup “pin it on Trump”. Talk about obstruction of justice.
    We are holding all the cards. Can drop one or two at any time Trump chooses. Did anybody pick up on that sweet tweet Trump threw out a couple of days ago? Something about turning loose the dogs to find out who had been leaking from the Senate side? Big time felonies. Popcorn time. Got ‘em by the short curlies.
    Wall pays for itself in 3 years. All the folks who want to take home all the stray, yet adorable, puppies and kitties out there have no idea how much they cost. A big financial burden.
    Maybe pot will pay for the Wall. Yep, pot will pay for the whole ball of wax.

    We are running low on tear gas. Save the budget, built the Wall.
    “Nielsen slammed the migrants for hurling rocks and projectiles at border agents. In a statement, she said, “This caravan, unlike previous caravans, had already entered Mexico violently and attacked border police in two other countries. I refuse to believe that anyone honestly maintains that attacking law enforcement with rocks and projectiles is acceptable. It is shocking that I have to explain this, but officers can be seriously or fatally injured in such attacks. Self-defense isn’t debatable for most law-abiding Americans.”

    Our agents are under assualt! Being pelted with glass and rock. Had to fly in reinforcements from other sections around the country just to hold them off. Military flew in 86 agents from El Centrol sector alone last weekend. . Barely held our ground. A few brave agents of 3-4 in one place held off over a hundred trying to charge the border. What to they think this is, Chicago….where a hundred hoodlums swoop down on the mall and steal the stores blind and nothing nobody can do about it? The mobs are attacking the gates. Best to protect our courageous out manned and under staffed agents from the shower of rocks and bottles.
    Think of all that money we can save. Trump’s campaign promise was to built the Wall and make Mexico pay for it. I have waited over 40 years, another few months of ballbusting by Ranger Trump won’t kill me. As they said in the Old West, “One riot, one Ranger.”

    Denney could have won Nevada County by 100% and LaMalfa would still be our congresscritter.
    How much BS was spread by Denney supporters?
    She was a farmer without a farm and an educator without a classroom. In fact, she’s never owned a farm and she hadn’t seen a classroom for four years, not since she left Chico state with a masters in “Agricultural Education”. A problem with that is that it’s an education degree, not an agriculture degree… with the difference being that agriculture is just one up from the bottom in the academic hierarchy… he bottom is Education.
    Since graduating from Chico State with the Masters in AgEd, she’s been a “learning designer” for a tiny company run out of a suburban house in Lincoln, NE. What a learning designer seems to be is someone who takes a simple lesson, break it into three or four minute bites so as to not run past the target audience’s concentration limit, and make it an app for their phones or laptop.
    She was allowed to list herself as a farmer and an educator… had she been required to list herself as a “learning designer” she’d have had people scratching their heads.
    Cristosal, the non-profit she’d listed herself as either President of the Board, Vice_President of the Board, or former Vice President of the Board (hiding that she remained ON the board), we now know is involved in the caravan of ‘migrants’ intent on entering the US en masse, intent on subverting US immigration law.
    An independent voice for the north state, my arse. IF she had managed to sell her soul to the devil to win, she’d have soon found she’d have to vote as she was told or the Party would run someone against her and she could kiss off the best paying job she’d ever have. Just like LaMalfa does. Like most congresscritters have to do unless, like Pelosi, they show a talent for high dollar fundraising.
    Now, the party didn’t provide any support for her but she managed to raise something like a million bucks anyway… and lost as badly as she was expected to.
    There’s more, just look at every speech she gave. She’s a gun owner, meaning she’s for the 2nd Amendment, who is just for gun safety… and she said she would ban all semiautomatic guns. And fully automatic guns, which are effectively already banned. Hey, but as long as you are allowed to have A gun, the 2nd Amendment is fulfilled… right?
    Why LaMalfa didn’t hit back as hard as he could, I don’t know.

    More from RR’s favorite Judge
    Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano on Thursday speculated that the latest guilty plea by Michael Cohen “must sting” President Donald Trump.
    “Every time Bob Mueller gets more information like he probably got from Michael Cohen in the past days and weeks,” Napolitano explained, “it creates more work for him to do… because he can’t just take at face value what Cohen or any witness says, he has to corroborate it.”
    “This actually extends the obligations of [special counsel] Bob Mueller,” he continued. “And it extends well into 2019 the existence of his office and his continued investigation.”
    According to Napolitano, Mueller’s team “has been going by the book. No leaks, no lies, no exaggeration. Everything he files in court is properly filed and is verified.”

    Paul Emery thinks his democrat pals taking one part of Congress is more important than the other and claime that is a defeat for Republicans. All that tells me is you have no clue about the Constitution. Holding the Senate when it is usually lost in a midterm is truly a victory. The advice and consent job alone is a true victory.

    Here’s Dershowitz’s view of Trumps dilemma.
    “politically devistating”
    “The special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the Russia investigation is likely to be “politically very devastating” for President Donald Trump, said Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor who has frequently defended Trump.
    “I think the report is going to be devastating to the president,” Dershowitz told ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday. “And I know that the president’s team is already working on a response to the report.”
    Dershowitz said that he doubted the investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 US presidential election would result in criminal charges against Trump but that the results could still devastate the president.
    “When I say devastating, I mean it’s going to paint a picture that’s going to be politically very devastating,” Dershowitz said.
