    Don Rogers the Publisher has a Column today. Honest to goodness I feel sorry for the fellow. Mediocrity is just fine as long as you don’t try to succeed. Read it and see if the message has escaped me. And he even singles out FOX in a backhanded way to give them credit for reporting the Indian drummer boy and the kid. Looks like a FOX hater to me.

    Pennsylvania in the news.
    Dougherty was charged with embezzlement, bribery, and theft in a 116-count indictment that alleged he and others stole more than $600,000 in union funds and repeatedly strong-armed public and private officials with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Dougherty, who is the leader of the Philadelphia electricians union as well as the city’s building trades, has long denied any wrongdoing. Several top lieutenants in his union’s political operation were also charged.

    In related news:
    As Jazz Shaw at Hot Air notes, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf had blocked the release of the results using legal maneuvers, but the information is finally out. More than 11,000 non-citizens are on the Keystone State’s voter rolls, according to the Washington Times. This is far less than the estimated 100,000 – a number that could have changed the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.
    “Pennsylvania officials have admitted to finding names of 11,198 non-citizens registered to vote on the state’s rolls — though top lawmakers suspect the number could still be higher,” the Times reported.

    Thanks Todd for making yourself so available as a relic of what used to be.
    So Todd is thinking of moving to Indiana where the climate is more suitable for his types. Don’t go Todd. We need you here to remind us of what used to be before Trump exterminated the Republicans in California.

I realize that your lefty propaganda does works with the great unwashed and maybe you will see a overtaking of freedom in your lifetime. But is that what you want? Apparently so. But as long as I have a breath in me I will fight you and your socialist/communist attempts to enslave the planet.

    Perhaps this is not the right time to bring it up, but am I the only one to notice that Donald J.Trump and Paul Emery have much in common. Let no slight go unanswered, jab, counterjab, and punch, punch, punch. Sorry Todd, but have you noticed that you and Punchy have some similarities as well? One slight is slung, one returned.
    Sure, I got blood on my hands and sometimes believe “the meek will inherit nothing west of Chicago.” A line from a Western movie based on a Zane Grey paperback checkstand novel.
    The main difference between Trump and Punchy is Trump is cool until attacked…and he is quick on the draw to blast back. Many feminist authors have pointed out that it was Rosie who drew first blood, not the other way around. Trump was cool until one day, out of blue and for no particular reason, Rosie arose out of bed and launched gernades against private citizen Trump, a wealthy TV personality. Trump blasted back, “Rosie the pig.” Insert big lol here.
    Sometimes the Punch Drunk one gets out of bed and for no reason in particular starts punching and jabbing away. Draws first blood. Sure, there is always a reason or some rationalization that leads to justification. Revenge works. But, how else can any rational human explain launching into a six hour tirade over the footwear FOTUS donned while boarding a plane? Did enjoy the quoting LBJ to justify the meltdown of rationality, to be honest. No stone left unturned. LBJ quotes are cool.
    The other difference between Trump, Punchy and Todd (until yesterday as a sole expection) is neither Trump or Todd goes running to Dr. Rebane or, in Trump’s case, go running and whining to anybody crying mean names hurt their feelings. Not their style. Suck it up, buttercup.
    Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words…jab, jab, jab, combo. It is obvious to me that some posters here have never been knifed, but I could be wrong. That last line was for shock value…or was it? I’m rubber, you are glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you, ass hat.

    You don’t know your history very well if you think it was the Dems who originated and supported Prop 14 in 2010. It was authored by Republican State Senator Abel Maldonado who was also Lt Gov under the Swartz. It was publicly backed by Governor Swartz and opposed by the Democratic Party. It appeared on the ballot and unfortunately became law by winning 54 % of the voters .

    Yes you got me BillT about punchback And here is my reason.
    When I was an elected official I decided to do my best to be a statesman and not respond to the lefty attacks and the media lies about and to me. I put up with that for 10 years and was really responsible about it. But then when the day arrived that I was no longer the elected official I said to myself, “I am no longer going to take their crap and I will respond in kind”. I learned that no matter how nice I was when I was in office, the pricks were relentless and it did not matter to them. A conservative was fair game to them to trash and lie about. And they even attacked my wife and kids. That is why I am like Trump and I was Trump before Trump. You want to attack me, get ready for blowback. And because I do I have exposed those lousy liberals as the snowflakes they really are. Cowards and slime.

    It would be short sighted, even for Trump, to declare a national emergency so he can build his vanity wall. Every climate change denier in America better shut him down, or face the 100% probability that the next science literate president will declare his own national emergency and all bets will be off. If Trump declares a state of emergency, fossil fuel dependent stocks will crash before the next sunrise.

    More on prop 14
    “The most prominent backer of the proposition is Republican California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has raised money for the measure and cites the current Republican gubernatorial primary between Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner as emblematic of the type of primary partisanship that would be eliminated under the proposed system.
    Supporters believe the initiative would lead to more moderate elected officials and alleviate the gridlock that has characterized the state’s politics in recent years.
    Proposition 14 is the brainchild of Republican Abel Maldonado, a former state senator who recently was confirmed as the state’s new lieutenant governor. “

    Oh yeah. That huge drug bust (that could kill something like 57 million Americans if ingested in 2mg doses at the border crossing….well, that’s just a perfect reason why we need the Wall. It’s to free up agents to help inspect the cars crossing at legal points of entry, silly. Where a good barrier is, illegal crossings are down 90% or a tenth of what it was before a good barrier. All Trump is asking for a measly 180 miles of new barrier fence and money to fix the old jokes of a border fence and take some of those vehicle barriers (to prevent cars from driving across the border out in the boonies on remote dusty roads) and put up pedestrian fencing instead of vehicle fencing. Heck, it is starting to look like a Mad Max scene out there with old cars stacked on each other to be a vehicle crossing barrier. Ain’t cutting it, especially when you consider Greyhound Mexico is dumping hundreds upon hundreds of folks off at “vehicle barriers”.
    Oh yeah. All a drone is doing to do is tell our guys that a bunch have crossed over, now go out and find them. We need more manpower at our ports and ports of entry. Walls will free up previous resources and perhaps save the lives of precious little children of illegal crossers. And what’s up with those TSA guys who just got busted in a 100 million cocaine smuggling scam?? Yep, the Wall would free up a lot of personel to plug some more leaks.
    Oh yeah. Hey Swallows, only a faggot uses the terms like pud and wetback anymore. Get with the times.
