Well, looks like the Four Horsemen of Apocaleft have brushed off their shoulders and turning their attention back on Nancy, still snarling a bit. And Nancy will turn her attention back to the business at hand. Nancy had quietly worked behind the scenes from months to distance people from the Fab Four and she just had gone on the Circuit to be clear, concise, and complete rather vocally calling the Squad out, telling them only have only four votes and a worthless following…and……and…..and along comes Trump. Slow talking Trump, slow walking Trump and steps right into it. Oh well.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Trump got the Dems to stand and defend them, anti-Semites and all. The face of the Democrat Party, folks.
And to think this came on the heels of the lesbian soccer star National Anthem no crossing heart thang, , Kap sacking America’s ironic Americana sentimental flag AND whoever she handed the flag to, and the 4th of July pouting boycott, and the attempted firebombing of ICE in blue blue Tacoma, and….drumroll please……the taking down of Old Glory and raising the Mexican flag over a US Government building. I would say you guys took a beating more than Trump. The Lefties are ceding the middle, thank you very much.
No use jabbing about it. The local wackjobs will still be running over here calling Trump and Racist, Rapist, Traitor, Homophobic something (fill in the blacks here). Tie him to E

How dare you call those rodents animals. That be racist talk, and is meant to divide us.
Remember when CA went eco-friend and turned Thompson’s water seal into a bucket of worthless stuff. Won’t last 6 months. Water based. Took the good stuff out. About that time, their was an old man I knew that had a gopher problem. I tried everything…gassing, poking the middle of new runways and fresh spots and dropping poison pellets for him. Then one day he shows me an article in the Frisco Examiner about they found the magic stuff for their gopher problem in Frisco parks. At the time, the City was spending 120k/year just trying to rid them. Called Eaton’s Last Bite. They sold it at the hardware stores. Waxed based, break off a hunk and insert in hole. Bingo.
Then they banned Last Bite in CA, but a certain store were unaware and sold it for a couple years. See, they can pass all the laws on the books, but there was no enforcement and the owners of the mercantile did not know it was banned. The Counties got stuck with enforcement and they were just clerks or something. Heck, I had to drive to Reno to get log cabin thick slob from Sweden, until I found a place that sold it here in Nevada County…again, unaware. Sure that has changed and they scope around reading stack of data sheets. 🙂
Anyway, the Last Bite disappeared and the quasi-effective maybe (?) look alike stuff appeared. Not the same. Loved the name. Last Bite.
Thanks for nothing, CA. Rodent infestations are sooo 3rd World.

Odd news and quotes
“Never before in all our history have these forces [the media and the opposition party] been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.” FDR in his final campaign speech before the 1936 election
“But Cortez, somebody said that’s not her name. They said that’s not her name, sir. I said no, no, I don’t have time to go with three different names. We’ll call her Cortez. Too much time. Takes too much time.” Donald Trump on Ocasio.
Medicare for All will “top 40 trillion”. Bernie Sanders
“Now the president of Planned Parenthood has been kicked to the curb for the crime of believing that only women can get pregnant.” Matt Walsh. (Not woke enough?)
“Envy was once consider one of the Seven Deadly Sins before it became one of the most admired virtues under its new name Social Justice.” Thomas Sowell
“They (AOC and squad) are Americans. But I’m entitled to my opinion, and I just think they are left-wing cranks and they are the reason that there are directions on a shampoo bottle.” Sen. John Kennedy
“Montanans are sick and tired of listening to anti-American, anti-Semite, radical Democrats trash our country and our ideals. This is America. We’re the greatest country in the world.”
“I stand with @realdonaldtrump”. Senator Steve Daines.
“Only 7% of respondents said they would like the illegal immigrants to stay, 33% said they would prefer giving them a temporary place to stay, and a whopping 55% said they wanted to see the illegal immigrants deported.
“With which of these phrases do you agree the most? The migrants strengthen our country with their work and skills or the migrants are a burden on our country because they take jobs and receive benefits that should belong to Mexicans.” Only 20% of respondents felt the migrants strengthened Mexico while a huge 64% said the migrants were a burden.” ——-Wa Post poll finds majority of Mexicans want illegal immigrants deported.
”@realDonaldTrump and Nancy Pelosi found themselves on the same side of the race card. @ACO suggested that @SpeakerPelosi is racist for “explicit singling out of newly elected women of color.“ No, AOC. Pelosi, like @realDonaldTrump criticized your character, not your color.” Larry Elder
Now we are told if you believe in the definition of marriage that President Barack Obama held as late as 2012, you’re a bigot. That was recently, seven years ago. Now we’re told if you believe that a man is not a woman, you are a bigot, you are not welcome into polite society.
This was an opinion that was held by everybody from the beginning of time until like five seconds ago. And now if you tweet out men or not women, you can be banned from Twitter. Twitter has said that they can permanently suspend you for it. That’s how fast they move. And if you come out and you say, maybe we should think about these guys, maybe every civilization for all of human history everywhere was onto something when they said that men and women are different. Maybe every origin story of our species which begins with the sexual difference between men and women — maybe they weren’t just completely crazy. The Left would say you’re obsessed, give it up. Stop it, it’s not a big deal.”…. Michael Knowles (who also points out that if you think women’s sports should be for women only in the aftermath of a transgender woman who won two golds and a silver in women’s weight lifting completion in the 2019 Pacific Games in Samoa, that makes you a ‘misogynist’, not a ‘bigot’.)

-Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.
-It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.
-Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.

-If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.

-The most basic question is not what is best, but who shall decide what is best.
-The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.

Darn. Here comes the Immigrants. Great, another fascist emerges.
“I’m a Jamaican immigrant. And I love America. Not the America radical socialists want to see, but the America that is a land of opportunity for all. That’s what I’m fighting for,” New York businesswoman Scherie Murray, 38, declared in a series of social media posts Wednesday announcing her candidacy for the Republican nomination in Ocasio-Cortez’s district.
“In her campaign launch, Murray has made clear that she’s not going to pull any punches on her potential opponent. “There’s a crisis in Queens and it’s called AOC,” Murray said in a tweet she’s pinned to the top of her page. “She isn’t worried about us — she’s worried about being famous. That’s why I’m running for Congress.”
“You deserve someone who will fight for you, not fight for the limelight. Someone who will build bridges, not burn them down,” said Murray in a post presenting her official 2020 announcement video. “Lawmakers should be working together to build a stronger, safer, more prosperous America, but your representative in Washington chooses self-promotion over service, conflict over constituents, resistance over assistance,” Murray says in the video.
“Queens and the Bronx need someone who will create jobs instead of turning them away,” Murray says in reference to Ocasio-Cortez’s opposition to the Amazon HQ2 deal, which would have brought 25,000 jobs to her district and nearly $30 billion in tax revenues to the state.“

Gorka, Gorka, Gorka and the Enemy of the People
“Yet when Democrats spearheaded deportation efforts against former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka, the media was silent. In 2017, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) asked the White House to hand over Gorka’s immigration paperwork to the House Judiciary Committee. Gorka is a British-born Hungarian-American who was naturalized in 2012, five years before Nadler attempted to use state power to intimidate him.
“Despite the poor journalistic integrity of The Forward author, Nadler and other House Democrats still used her article to attack Gorka and the White House. Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Benjamin Cardin (D-MD) pressed the departments of Homeland Security and Justice to confirm whether Gorka was under investigation for falsifying his U.S. naturalization application.

Ok. John Solomon strikes again.
“Two career White House security officials have testified in a closed door session with the House Oversight Committee that no political pressure was asserted on their office in determining security clearances, according to a GOP staff memo obtained by Hill.TV.
“The testimony could deal a blow to Democratic assertions that President Trump and the White House counsel might have used undue influence on the process to win clearances for his son-in-law Jared Kushner and his daughter Ivanka Trump.
“The fracas over security clearances erupted in April 2019 when career staffer Tricia Newbold testified to the House Oversight Committee that her then supervisor Carl Kline overruled several of her security clearance determinations because of political influence.”
—
“Earlier, Kline had disputed Newbold’s assertions in a voluntary interview with the committee. He testified that he had never been told by any White House official to reverse a security clearance determination.
“I have never been approached by anybody at the White House or outside the White House to adjudicate a case, one way or the other, in my tenure at the White House,” Kline declared.”

A black eye for Columbia Journalism Review?
“Indeed, the very idea that Lenihan was engaged in any kind of “smear campaign” (to quote the headline on the CJR article) is a fiction that dissolves upon contact with Lenihan’s own words. “It should be stressed that a journalist’s close social-media engagement with any particular group should not be seen as incriminating per se,” Lenihan wrote in Quillette. “Many journalists follow—and even interact with—all manner of figures online, either out of personal curiosity, professional interest, or even as a means of developing sources. In identifying this group of 15 journalists whose engagement with Antifa is especially intense, our goal was not to accuse them of bias out of hand, but rather to identify them for further study, so as to determine if there was any overall correlation between the level of their online engagement with Antifa and the manner by which these journalists treated Antifa in their published journalism.”
In other words, the analysis that Holt characterizes as some kind of dangerous plot against progressive journalists is basically just a study of media bias—the sort of subject that, until recently, CJR was known for covering dispassionately.
When it comes to statistical studies, bigger data sets typically deliver more robust results. And in this respect, Twitter supplies researchers with a gold mine, since the relationships among users generally are public, and this information easily can be harvested en masse by automated data-gathering tools. Lenihan’s methods are being used by many other researchers to investigate all manner of trends in every sector of our society, including journalism. An outlet such as CJR should be encouraging the use of modern analytical techniques, rather than presenting them as sinister and opaque.

Those who don’t will believe what they will, and they will do nothing to honor the memory of Lord Keynes – ‘when new information comes in, I change my mind, what do you do?’

Ok. “The Chant” lasted 13 seconds, slowly rising. Somebody timed it. They kicked one guy out of the rally earlier for disputing the place when Trump was talking and the young dude was wearing a MAGA . A spy! Infiltrator. Me thinks the chant was started by Lefty assassins or some Russians. There are a lot of Russians living in this country. And a lot of vicious vicious Antifa types in the Carolinas.
I did catch more than half of Trump’s address to the junkyard dogs and I was blown away (taken aback) by his list of accomplishments in so many areas. I had no idea until he put them all in a row, one after the other after the other. Like, Opiate Overdose Crisis actually went down this year after years of near vertical red arrows on the charts. Even if the decrease is tiny or flattening out, that is good news for everybody.
This whole “good back and show us how it’s done” thing started awhile ago and I see Trumps frustration and not tolerating fools. You got a conservative reporter beat up in the streets while cops are told to stand down, the whole 4th of July meltdown, the raising of the Mexican flag over a US Federal facility to the roaring celebration of hundreds, if not a thousand in Colorado, Nike, Betsy Ross and more I have already forgot. The hate Israel thang. America is a hellhole racist country…everywhere you look, even Biden and Nancy. Trump, like me, have had enough.
Call Trump what you want, but he really loves this country down deep and is the Ringling Bros. Circus for cheer leading America and America’s unique greatness among all countries on Earth. We are a good country.
With Trump, it’s America, the Greatest Show on Earth! Great people. Always been that way. It has always pissed him off when he felt America was being taken advantage. Burned his butt when Japan was taking advantage of us with no level playing field and he had no skin in the game. “We are getting screwed, folks.”
It’s not the constant bad mouthing of America or blame America First, it’s the total lack of gratitude and constant complaining about everything that is behind this, ‘Go show us how it’s done in the shithole you come from. You are lucky to make it here.’ Real lucky. You won the lottery.
I have no skin in the game, but I once got enraged about some Haitians here illegally taking a cab to Niagara Falls and crossing into Canada. The journalist explained the whole process of Canadian law and covered some families crossing and taken to a center….which is all good. Informative. Then I found myself saying aloud at the screen, “Well, go back to Haiti you friggin ingrate.”
A young Haitian about 29 first’s words out of his mount at the center was, “Good, now me some money so I can go rent an apartment.” No asking, no saying please, or thank you, just an entitled attitude that his new country would be his servant. He probably felt superior to Canadians, like the Muslims look down on the Mexicans in S Cal.
Bottom line: The USA, USA, USA chant has always stuck in the Left’s craw for damn near the last 50 years. It’s always the same. America bad, it’s all our fault. And along comes Trump cheerleading for America without embarrassment or couching his words. That gets them crazy more than anything else. Unabashed pride in the Greatest Country on Earth and with unlimited optimism. Impeach the mo fo!
It’s all come down to this. VHD
“In their radical progressive view — shared by billionaires from Silicon Valley, recent immigrants, and the new Democratic party — America was flawed, perhaps fatally, at its origins. Things have not gotten much better in the country’s subsequent 243 years, nor will they get any better — at least not until America as we know it is dismantled and replaced by a new nation predicated on race, class, and gender identity-politics agendas.
“In this view, an “okay” America is no better than other countries. As Barack Obama once bluntly put it, America is exceptional only in relative terms, given that citizens of Greece and the United Kingdom believe that their own countries are just as exceptional. In other words, there is no absolute standard by which to judge a nation’s excellence.
“About half the country disagrees. It insists that America’s sins, past and present, are those of mankind. But only in America were human failings constantly critiqued and addressed.
“America does not have be perfect to be good. As the world’s wealthiest democracy, it certainly has given people “

Not even lip stick on a pig, more like another thick layer of pig shit from the USSR! –
The idea of constitutional amendments, including allowing parliament a say in forming the government, received “a widespread response” and are “a matter for discussion,” Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters on a conference call Wednesday.
Putin in 2024 must step down as president to avoid violating a constitutional ban on more than two consecutive terms. While he’s previously ruled out changing the constitution to remain as president, advisers are examining ways to effectively prolong his grip on power, which is already the longest since Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
The Kremlin is considering changing the electoral system in an effort to secure its lock on the lower house of parliament in 2021 elections amid a plunge in popularity of the ruling United Russia party, according to people familiar with the preparations. Keeping a strong hold on the legislature, known as the State Duma, would widen Putin’s room for maneuver. It could potentially allow him to switch roles to retain power as head of the ruling party and prime minister with expanded constitutional authority at the expense of the presidency, according to two people close to the Kremlin and a ruling-party legislator.

“In 2013, about 20 women accused Filner, a two-decade Democratic congressman-turned-San Diego mayor, of sexual harassment and misconduct. Some said he put them in “Filner headlocks.”
“Harris’ office drew considerable criticism in 2013 for allowing Filner to plead guilty to state charges of false imprisonment and battery against three Jane Does in exchange for a light sentence. Filner could have faced up to five years in prison, but the plea bargain instead gave him three months of house arrest, three years’ probation, and partial loss of his mayoral pension.”

Funniest quote I read today was in some comment section under an article about “The Chant”. Went something like this, including the smiley face.
“The Right has turned into a bunch of White Supremists and the Left is a bunch of crazy socialists running around. I think I will vote for a pot smoking Libertarian again. 😃”
Or, as Matt Walsh said, “It’s a mess. Everywhere you look, it’s a mess.”

I think he was talking to you when you made the false claim that Trump stopped the chant as fast as he could.
“Sometimes I think this guy thinks cameras don’t exist,” Comedy Central host Trevor Noah said of Trump on Thursday night. “He didn’t stop anything. He was basking in that moment like an iguana soaking up racist sun.”
