[Get ready for President Trump's speech from the Oval Office tonight in which he'll try to convince us that there is national security crisis on our southern border, and that spending money to reduce border porosity is now a national priority which the Constitution allows, nay, requires him to exercise executive powers to defend America against an unending influx of poor, ignorant, and destitute foreigners who are told they have the right to illegally enter the country and establish a new life in America.  gjr]

    What some people think.
    “Within hours the internet lost its mind. After two hours on the Facebook page, the post garnered 200 comments.”
    “That shirt’s not even good enough to wipe your butt with,”
    “What in the absolute f— is this b——?”
    ” California transplants for bringing their tastes and liberal politics with them.”
    “What happens when Californians flee their failed state but bring their failed political ideology with them? They transform Idaho into California. Cali used 2 b one of best states in the US, now it’s the worst. Won’t be long b4 Idaho turns from red to purple, then blue. #Idafornia,”
    “They were angry at Californians, saying, ‘F— California,’ and the Californians were saying ‘F— you’ right back, and called Idahoans ignorant,”
    He detailed how Californians are changing the way of life in Idaho.
    “A lot of [Idahoans] don’t make a lot of money, and we’re seeing housing prices driven up,” he said. “But things look nicer so there’s good and bad, but more good than bad, I think. But some people liked Idaho little, rural and run-down. Everywhere there were farms there are now shopping malls.”
    So Idaho is getting a taste of what Frisco did to Nevada County.
    The disease known as Bay LIBeralism is spreading. Someone call the CDC.

    George 5:55 – “why you so diligently immerse yourself in this “garbage pail of ideas that float around here”?”
    I immerse my self in this garbagpail of schlep because I feel it is my civic duty to point out how wrong you and yours are about goombah trump and his cohort of grifters. Apparently, you people are too enthralled by his his narcissistic rhetoric, which for some strange reason, seems to resonate to you all on multiple levels, to see through the bull crap to the truth. Maybe you don’t want to know the truth so you repeat the excuses and fake news that supports his point of view. So I post here just in case one of you might take off your self-installed blinders before trump declares a national emergency, burns down the Reichstag, declares martial law and starts putting people with liberal viewpoints into work camps with large incinerators as your “liberalism is a disease” mantra might suggest to those with a lower mentality who are stupid enough to act on it. Hate crimes by white males against minorities have gone up since trump began his run, don’t you know. Blogs like this one and facebook play a large part in the spread of that disease by repeating the lies and distortions. Have a nice day!

    QUICK ORDRER A GROSS OF CLUTCHING PEARLS AND A TRUCK LOAD OF FAINTING COUCHES!
    KARL: What I am getting is that this is all building up to the Mueller report and raising expectations of a bombshell report. And there have been expectations that have been building, of course, for over a year on this. But people who are closest to what Mueller has been doing, interacting with the special counsel caution me that this report is almost certain to be anti-climactic. If you look at what the FBI was investigating in that New York Times report, you look at what they were investigating, Mueller did not go anywhere with that investigation. He has been writing his report in real time through these indictments and we have seen nothing from Mueller on the central question of, was there any coordination, collusion, with the Russians in the effort to meddle in the elections? Or was there even any knowledge on the part of the president or anybody in his campaign with what the Russians were doing, there’s been no indication of that …
    STEPHANOPOULOS: They hadn’t laid that out yet in the indictments but how do things like the Trump
    Tower meeting with Russians, Don Jr., Paul Manafort, Paul Manafort giving polling data to Ukrainian oligarchs, the pursuit of a Trump Tower in Moscow. How does that fit into this theory?
    KARL: What we’ve certainly seen over and over again is the people around the president, first of all, have been willing to lie to investigators, and had their own dealings with Russians, had their own agendas with Russians. And Manafort was trying to get paid for his work on behalf of Ukraine. Flynn had his own dealings. But it is not added up to anything of the central question, again, was there anybody – was the Trump campaign aware of or coordinating with the Russians in their effort to meddle with the election. So far there’s been nothing on that and I’m led to believe don’t expect there’s going to be any.

    I believe I did not see it under posts, but I could be wrong. Most people are frequently wrong across this big wide planet, albeit the Ms. Crosses & Co. of this world think they are the exception, not the rule. While declaring people are wrong, they do not think such statements applies to them. Anyway, inquiring minds would like to know. Did they silence ya?

    Baby, it’s teeth shattering c,c, co, co, co2 cold outside.
    The truth is, the world is getting much cleaner, when measured by CO2 output per dollar of GDP. So is the U.S. It’s decarbonizing. And as the world population begins to decline later this century and new energy technologies come on line — everything from new battery technology to ultra-safe nuclear power designs — CO2 emissions won’t be a problem, real or imagined.
    The real problem? Having enough people working and paying taxes to support all the retirees around the world and pay off hundreds of trillions of dollars of global debt.
    What is a problem is the nonstop fear-mongering, demands for more taxes, and dangerous socialist experiments in expanding government control of the economy, all in the name of warding off the threat of global warming.
    So don’t worry about this jump in CO2. It won’t last. But the damage from bad green policies foisted on the economy will.

Has anyone seen a business plan other than “goats will save us”? How much is Nanny going to skim off the top for her administrative fee?

    And as long as the old courthouse stands, she won’t be chaining herself to the doors. And since all applicants for the pot shops were selected/accepted, there will be no grand jury investigation. And everything is cool as long as the new restaurant continues with her menu. And Nevada City will get its air raid siren fixed. Boy, she will really be freaking out when 5 G comes with its intensive bombarding of electrons hitting the burg. If she thought her smart meter was causing her headaches, just wait til 5 -G comes.

    Bang, bang, you are dead. Heard an interesting off record interview with a Border Patrol agent who is also an Iraq War veteran. Standing on the the US side of the border, he said he could hear the continuous gun battles day and night going on in Ciudad Juárez, I believe. Anyway, he said he has not heard such gunfire since he left Iraq. We are not just securing the border from economic refugees, illegals, criminals, pedophiles, sex traffickers, rapists, murderers, and what have you. We are fighting against the cartels that have taken over large swaths of territory from the governments in Central America through Mexico and are peddling poison into our cities and communities.

    We don’t hate the environment, we just want common sense regulations:
    Trump told the EPA to base the new navigable waters definition on the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s legal opinion from the 2006 Supreme Court decision in Rapanos v. United States. That opinion limits EPA authority over non-navigable waters in two important ways. EPA’s new proposal violates both.
    First, Justice Scalia opined that EPA could only regulate non-navigable tributaries if there were relatively permanent and continuously flowing, and would be what ordinary Americans (not lawyers and activists) would call rivers or streams. Some drainages are too small for Congress to regulate because no normal person would call them creeks or streams.
    EPA’s new proposal regulates tributaries no matter how small, even if they only flow for a few days at a time, as long as they typically contribute any small amount of water to a river downstream. That goes way beyond what Scalia’s opinion allowed.
    Second, Scalia said EPA could only regulate wetlands if they sit alongside regulated streams or lakes so closely that they bleed into each other. But EPA’s proposal far exceeds this, by including wetlands far afield, no matter how small, that normally drain eventually to a real river.
    If EPA finalizes this proposal, its overzealous enforcement bureaucrats will continue to assert control over farm fields and home sites nationwide. Farmers who supported the Trump candidacy would get relief from regulation of their ditches, but the feds will still call the shots on their fields.
    And because EPA’s new proposal regulates some, but not all, intermittent drainages based on vague distinctions, landowners will still be uncertain whether their shallow ponds and seasonal channels are regulated. They’ll face steep consulting and legal bills as they haggle over who actually owns their property: their families or the EPA?
