[Why would the president's AG nominee William Barr telegraph the preposterous statement that he will tell the Senate judiciary committee that he would unconditionally allow Mueller to finish whatever he's been doing in the attempt to bring down the administration?  gjr]

    “The Defendants did not get an access permit, they did not remain on the designated roads, and they left water, food, and crates in the Refuge. All of this, in addition to violating the law, erodes the national decision to maintain the Refuge in its pristine nature,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Bernardo Velasco wrote in his three-page order posted online Friday afternoon.

    Litterbugs. The assholes have no problem carrying food and freebies they are given into the woods, but they have an inversion to carrying their crap out. When is our LE going to cite these scum for littering? Screw those trash spewing environment hating bums.
    We could learn from Placer County. They site the puke buckets for littering.
    Mamula does not have any recent criminal cases in Nevada County, but court records show a drug offense in 2017, as well as camping and littering offenses in 2018, in Placer County.

    โ€œConservative pundit Ann Coulter once made a controversial claim that โ€œsingle women look at the government as their husbands,โ€ expecting the government to provide for their every need. Ocasio-Cortezโ€™s Green New Deal naivete provides unfair validation for that statement. Instead of using her massive platform to make nuanced, well-reasoned arguments for taxing the rich and expanding the national debt, her current track record indicates that sheโ€™s interested in neither.
    All of the cringeworthy media interviews and high-profile errors sheโ€™s been so flippant about making will only cause more difficulty for young women to get elected to high office in the future. Her incompetence only cements the idea that a pretty, likable woman is one who, unfortunately, lacks a brain.โ€œ

    I wrote that as a joke but now I see it is actually true. We conservatives celebrate the Constitution and you lefties want to change it and make it something else. So yes, those days are days of conservative celebration. You and Frisch can have your “mayday” and Lenin birthday events all to yourselves.

    ToddJ brings up an interesting point, whether you agree with his specifics or not. According to ample liberal media (print, broadcast, blogs, โ€ฆ) there definitely are โ€˜holidaysโ€™ โ€“ secular and religious โ€“ that are distinctly favored asymmetrically depending on your ideology. Googling the topic provides ample evidence. Conservatives, for example, are more prone to observe religious, patriotic, and historical (traditional) holidays. And liberals are obviously more observant of the socio-political holidays such those celebrating labor, ethnic identities, Cesar Chavez, MLK, May Day, Cinco de Mayo, Labor Day, and Indigenous Peopleโ€™s Day (instead of Columbus Day). Even a semi-religious (semi-secular?) holiday like Thanksgiving is now beginning to be eschewed by the Left because of its Pilgrim heritage. Christmas has long been dunned by the secular humanist Left. And from yearsโ€™ long observances of events like 4th July, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, it doesnโ€™t take rocket science to figure out the political affiliation of the residences and businesses that fly flags, buntings, โ€ฆ, and who attends the convocations to observe the holidays. Parades and fireworks are more iffy to argue since they provide entertainment and expression (e.g. political party and activist floats) for people of all persuasions. But attend, say, a Veterans Day convocation, and youโ€™ll have trouble finding a liberal save some old codger in his American Legion cap who served overseas in the long distant past and is now a liberal. Bottom line, to argue that the Right and Left observe all of our holidays with equal enthusiasm, seems to me, as something people do who havenโ€™t been paying attention or serve another agenda. Just a thought.

    I’m referring more to cultural events and their effects on the economy. SYRCL with their advocacy for Wild and Scenic status for the South Yuba River and their organized support for the South Yuba River State Park as well as their Wild and Scenic Film Festival in a very slow time of year-mid January make a huge impact on the local economy. Can you list an equivilant organization from the Conservative perspective that makes such an impact?

    Having attended many Memorial Day events, parades and other community gatherings I have to say the left only shows up to complain and whine while the conservatives are there to say thanks. Recall LaMalfa coming here after the Trump election. The left turns out all those freeloaders to scream and shout their “wants” while we conservatives were there to thank LaMalfa for his help of the district. And the gatherings on the overpasses here. All the loons of the left are there with their whining and screaming while we on the right were there to support America.

    Let us hope so. The Bible, the same one liberals are waving lately, says Christians, and Catholics, are the light of the world and are to place their light, not under a bushel, but on a night stand where the light can lead all to the ultimate truth. It is unlikely Feinstein would tell a Muslim nominee, โ€œThe Sharia dogma lives loudly within you.โ€
    Note the use of the word โ€œdogmaโ€ in a pejorative sense, as if the Catholic Church was a cult like the Druids chanting around a fire waiting for the human sacrifice to arrive. In fact, Barrett has in fact been slandered as a member of a cult which is in fact a legitimate Catholic faith group:

    Seven hundred thousand visitors is 1918 visitors a day, 365 days a year.
    But if we think it’s weekends, that would be limited to 104 days a year, or 6731 people on average on weekends.
    If it’s weekends in the summer months, that would be a crowding in just 26 days a year… of 27 thousand people, or a really big chunk of Nevada County, a sea of pasty white flesh.
