Justice for Palestine protestors interrupt Spartacluz’s rally.
“We can’t allow them to divide us and we must also resist the urge to divide ourselves because the people on my block … and folks all across the country can’t wait,” Booker said, adding, “They can’t afford a politics of division that sacrifices progress for purity.”
Oh bother, Corey. You sound exactly like Obama a couple of days ago. It’s not the right out there dividing you or “us”. It’s your own party going cannibalistic. That is what you and yours have created. Can’t say “All lives matter” anymore and now you can’t say “Justice for All”, roflmao. This is getting good. Just tell them that there is no such place as Palestine. It does not exist. That will get you some cred and some much needed publicity.

Looks like Cher just turned Republican.
“Pop icon Cher said Sunday that Los Angeles, California, “can’t take care of its own” residents, much less newly arrived illegal and legal immigrants.
Cher said she failed to understand how the city of Los Angeles in the sanctuary state of California could afford to admit and take care of any more immigrants when city officials have failed to care for homeless, veterans, and poverty-stricken Americans.
I Understand Helping struggling Immigrants,but MY CITY (Los Angeles) ISNT TAKING CARE OF ITS OWN.WHAT ABOUT THE 50,000+Citizens WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS.PPL WHO LIVE BELOW POVERTY LINE,& HUNGRY? If My State Can’t Take Care of Its Own(Many Are VETS)How Can it Take Care Of More,” Cher said.”

“The State Department of Parks and Recreation survey for the South Yuba River followed the normal procedure for surveying recreation use. Their estimate of numbers of visitors to the Yuba (600,00 to 700,00) seems quite reasonable in comparison to the figure of 500,000 visitors to the North Fork of the American.”

That’s a lot of visitors to a bridge.
No doubt there are real economic reasons, fight for budgets if nothing else, for overestimates. I guess if everyone overestimates it all comes out in the wash.
The real message here is that everyone’s ‘facts’ are really just a game of Telephone played on the internet. A requoted (over and over and over) ‘700,000’ number. No publication of raw data or gathering methodology so far as I can tell. You can see how something that is patently false gets loose and becomes a ‘fact’ over time.

I was not on the BOS I was running CABPRO. If one looks at the transcripts of those hearings one can see the fictitious way the numbers were put forward. And they are made from whole cloth. Just a practical side. Since there are no toilets to speak of, 700,000 people generate 35 TONS of human waste. Where is it? Also they would drop quite a few tons of garbage which when picked up every year is not indicative of the huge turnout alleged. And what about the costs? Sheriff, rescuers of idiots and even the helicopter. Who pays? Oh the taxpayers. And where are those benefits to local business? Doesn’t happen. They buy their stuff and bring it in. So the SYRCL jerks use the number they created to try and tell us all how important the Wild and Scenic designation is to us. But the truth is it is not.

The “reams of data” Ozz/Jeff promises at the link I originally provided isn’t reams… “Yuba River” appears just once, associated with the following data:
200,921 (paid attendance, probably derived from parking revenue)
495,205 (unpaid attendance)
0 (the number camping)
696,126 (total)
That isn’t data, that’s the final results. How many people in each car that paid for parking… an estimate… times the number of cars that paid. How were the half million people estimated… does it include cars driving by on the 49? Does it include suicides of folks jumping off the Yuba River bridge in the night?
Those are the numbers that were to be shown. Seven hundred thousand was an early handwaved estimate and this is its backup. Yep, 700k. Yessiree Bob!

Think it is more like the annual bird survey. Go out one day a year and count birds at various spots and extrapolate from that day the entire bird population for hundreds of thousands of acreage. The honor system. I suppose it you went out in pairs, there might be some double counting.
Which brings me to Walt’s question. How many people will drown in the river this year? One has already drowned. If it is one per every 100,000, I would say 7-8. If it is one out of every 10,000, I would say 70-80. Now, if we get a big heat wave in early June, maybe
7 this year. Hopefully they will be from Frisco or Santa Cruz or government contractors. My guess will be the usual four.

Time for Daily Quotes. Tax Day, and those Hamas Supporters in Congress. Corey “I Am Spartacluz” Booker’s quote is my favorite.
The Gipper: “We don’t have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven’t taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.” —Ronald Reagan
For the record: “Tax Day is always bad because Americans are overtaxed. But this Tax Day, we can celebrate the fact that an overwhelming majority of people are being taxed less, thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which Republicans passed in late 2017. No fewer than four out of every five taxpayers saw a reduction thanks to the law.” —Washington Examiner editorial board
Braying Jackass: “[President Trump is] trying to pit Americans against each other and make us less safe.” —Cory Booker on Trump’s pitch to dump illegals in sanctuary cities
Friendly fire: “[Ilhan Omar’s] statements were not only hurtful to me but extremely hurtful to everyone that was personally impacted by those terrorist attacks. No one should refer to what happened on 9/11, with terrorist attacks that killed thousands of Americans, as ‘something by some people.’ And that’s what was wrong with those statements.” —Democrat Rep. Ben Ray Lujan
—Non compos mentis I: “I saw nothing wrong with the congresswoman’s speech.” —Rep. Bennie Thompson
—Non compos mentis II: “I’ve had some problems with some of her other remarks, but not with that one.” —Rep. Jerry Nadler
Braying Jenny: “We must confront that our nation was founded by genocide and we maintain global power through neocolonialism.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar, August 2017
Alpha Jackass: “In 2018, right-wing extremists were behind almost ALL US domestic terrorist killings. Why don’t you go do something about that?” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to veteran Rep. Dan Crenshaw, who lost in eye defending this country from jihadis
Intraparty squabble: “That’s like five people.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on AOC and her contingent’s influence within the Democrat Party
For how long? “I don’t trust Barr. I trust Mueller.” —Nancy Pelosi
Delusions of grandeur: “Our children shouldn’t go to school worried they will have to run for their lives from an active shooter. We need leaders who will stand up to the NRA and fight to keep our kids safe from gun violence.” —Sen. Kamala Harris
And last… “Bernie Sanders defending getting rich from writing a book is just a reminder that, despite what people say, no one is actually against Capitalism.” —Frank J. Fleming

“These people are educated just well enough to make terrible decisions for their children.”

A federal judge Monday ordered the detention of Yujing Zhang, the Chinese woman arrested trying to enter President Donald Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago club.
“It does appear to the court that Ms. Zhang was up to something nefarious,” Magistrate Judge William Matthewman said at the federal courthouse in West Palm Beach, adding that he considered Zhang, 33, a flight risk and believed she would return to China if released before trial.
Matthewman said the weight of the evidence against Zhang — who pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of making false statements to federal officers and entering restricted property — is “quite strong.” Prosecutors had asked to keep her locked up.

Cue star wars music –
The crowded field of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates is showing early signs of money trouble as donors sit on the sidelines to see how the contest unfolds, signaling a drawn-out primary battle lies ahead.
The Democratic campaign comes into greater focus on Monday as declared White House hopefuls report their first quarter fundraising totals. Early glimpses provided by some of the more than one dozen declared candidates show that Democrats are raising less money than they have in previous cycles and are coming up short against the campaign bank account President Donald Trump is building.
Democrats collectively raised about $70 million since January, according to the candidates who have already released their fundraising totals. That’s less than the $81 million Democrats raised during the same period in 2007, the last time the party had an open primary, according to data from the Federal Election Commission. And it pales in comparison with the $30 million Trump raised during the first quarter.

“The most serious issue is the size of the land,” Lt Gen Jakobsen said. “Reactivity, robustness, and endurance in all branches of defence are too low, and to be concrete: The army is too small in relation to the tasks it has and what is expected of Norway and in NATO.”

WOW, did not see this one coming but the chi coms know we, the suni and Israel are on the march against those mutha mullas. Its bad for their business and encroaches on the trade negotiations. So sorry little country, we got to cover our own ass –
Author Yin Gang, identified as a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, predicts in his column that President Donald Trump will not stop pressuring Iran and its economy if it does not withdraw from the international stage. Yin goes on to argue that America is not the only problem Iran has to face, saying, “Iran is isolated in the Middle East,” and its neighbors agree that it is a regional threat.
“IRGC’s Quds Force’s support to the Houthis, an anti-government force in Yemen, and the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon could not be tolerated by the US and its allies in the Middle East,” Yin writes. “Arab nations and Israel have lauded the US’ move on IRGC.”
Yin goes on to accept what the Iranian government denied for some time: that sanctions on its oil industry in response to its alleged illegal nuclear weapons development, which were lifted in the aftermath of the 2015 nuclear deal and restored last year, will have a devastating effect on the Iranian economy.
“Tehran’s strategy is to outlast Trump’s presidency until 2020 and then hope that he loses the elections, but the US president will not give Iran so much time,” Yin writes. Acknowledging that President Donald Trump is seeking to limit Iran’s military influence and arguing that conceding to Washington will soothe some of the pressure, Yin suggests yielding to America.
“In recent years, Iran’s strong presence in Yemen and Syria has triggered panic in the Arab world and Israel. If Iran adopts a prudent policy of strategic retreat, war and severe internal turmoil could be avoided,” the article reads. “But if it continues to be intransigent, the denouement would be hard to imagine.”
“With little prospect of a thaw between Washington and Tehran in the future, tensions are likely to rise. A better choice for Iran to deal with the situation is a strategic retreat in Yemen and Syria,” the piece recommends.

“I was a builder like Trump and morons like OOZE have been buying them and flipping them ever since to make their quick bucks.”
I detect a bit of latent hostility towards those of us who used our brains and turned houses to efficiently make some bank instead of being a butt monkey dealing with subs, permits, weather, time lines, bids, port-a-potties . . .
As they say, work smarter, not harder. But for some people that isn’t possible.
