[Just happened to visit Nevada County Voices, an info website run by our favorite climate catastrophe czarina, Dr Anna Haynes.  It appears that since the passing of Russ Steele, RR remains as the sole active 'rightwing' website in these parts.  On her resourceful site we are properly relegated to the extreme right column that is off-page, so it will not surprise and offend the more sensitive eyes of her polite company visitors (a trigger warning pointer is provided).  I continue to note over the years that Dr Haynes' political spectrum remains one-winged.  Nowhere are her voluminous lists of left-leaning sites so identified.  I suppose all of those are like our self-proclaimed centrists Bob Crabb and George Boardman – politically vanilla, untinged and untrammeled by any shade of partisanship.  We are properly put in our place.  gjr]

    Quotes:
    Insight: “They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong. There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.” —Ronald Reagan
    For the record: “That Wall Street is panicking worse over WuFlu than it did in 2008 when it was revealed that the Wall Street-created securitized mortgage industry was a complete fraud tells you everything you need to know not about WuFlu, but about Wall Street. It’s completely absurd. By way of comparison: At this point in the 2009 H1N1 pandemic in the U.S. (roughly two months in), CDC estimated that a million people had already been infected in the U.S.” —The Federalist’s Sean Davis
    Non compos mentis: “Think about how the world would be if we tried to quarantine everyone because of the generic-type flu. Now I’m not saying this is the generic-type flu, but maybe we’d be just better off if we gave it to everybody and then in a month it would be over.” —CNBC editor Rick Santelli, who, to his credit, later said, “It was the dumbest, most ignorant stupid thing anybody could have ever said.”
    D’oh! “We’re going to unite this party and unite this country. And folks who want to nominate a Democrat, a lifelong Democrat, a proud Democrat, an O’Biden-Bama Democrat, join us.” —Joe O’Biden
    Total game-changer! “With the exception of Native Americans, African Americans are the people who are most behind socially and economically in the United States and our needs are not moderate. A people far behind cannot catch up choosing the most moderate path. The most progressive social and economic path gives us the best chance to catch up and Senator Bernie Sanders represents the most progressive path. That’s why I choose to endorse him today.” —Jesse Jackson
    Braying jenny: “[My 2015 apology] turned out to be a mistake because look at all the oxygen it was sucking out of my campaign. But it didn’t end it. It didn’t end it at all.” —Hillary Clinton regarding her home-brew server
    Trump Derangement Syndrome: “BREAKING: Trading was just halted at the New York Stock Exchange after it dropped almost 1,900 points this morning. Maybe if Trump didn’t spend the weekend on vacation it wouldn’t have been so bad. Guess we will never know. This is terrifying. Trump’s a failure.” —Democratic Coalition cofounder Scott Dworkin
    And last… “Well, on the bright side, since more than half of Americans died from tax cuts, another half from health care reform, and another half from net neutrality, there really aren’t a ton of people left to spread COVID-19.” —Erick Erickson

    So remember the next time a doughy CEO of the “wretchedly misnamed” Sierra Business Council scolds you for being a “nativist”…..

    “The same people who called global warming climate change now climate crisis now climate catastrophe and have been hysterical about the dying planet for years suddenly believe 1st world countries have abundant resources that can sustain millions of 3rd worlders without end. Even though those 3rd worlders would be much better off in their home countries where they’ll cause less personal pollution (less meat, less fuel for cars or public transit) than they otherwise would in the 1st world.
    “Climate refugees,” as the Sanders campaign calls them, would help the planet much more by staying in their home countries where they’ll consume far less than the average Western citizen”

    Great advice Shotgun Joe gave his wife.

Man, being a Jehovah Witness is becoming dangerous. No wonder the Girl Scouts don’t sell cookies door to door anymore.

    The Shotgun Joe saga…..

    MARCH 10, 2020
    BEING THERE: Democrats Are Nominating Chance the Gardener From ‘Being There’ for President, Roger Simon writes.
    And Joe goes out his way to prove it: “You’re full of s***”: Biden’s 2nd Amendment voter outreach in Detroit going as well as you’d imagine. “Biden denies in this clip that he wants to confiscate anyone’s guns. One week ago, though, Biden publicly proclaimed that he would put Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke in charge of his gun policy, a former presidential aspirant who explicitly called for gun confiscations by law enforcement following an assault rifle ban…Biden at one point mentions ‘AR-14s’ as an example of firearms Americans don’t need, which is good because they don’t exist.”
    Does Joe remember who he served as vice president, or even his own past rhetoric?
    ● Shot: “I am not going to take your guns away. So if you want to find an excuse not to vote for me, don’t use that one. Cause that just ain’t true.”
    —Barack Obama, September 9, 2008. (Narrator voice: ultimately, it was true.)
    ● Chaser: Biden Warns Gun Makers: ‘I’m Coming For You. Period.’

    Proof?? What “proof” do you have concerning your allegations against Biden? Here is a petition signed by 70,000 mental health professionals regarding Trumps mental health.
    “We, the undersigned mental health professionals , believe in our professional judgment that Donald Trump manifests a serious mental illness that renders him psychologically incapable of competently discharging the duties of President of the United States. And we respectfully request he be removed from office, according to article 4 of the 25th amendment to the Constitution, which states that the president will be replaced if he is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

    Daily Quotes covering many topics here.
    Insight: “To maintain the ascendancy of the Constitution over the lawmaking majority is the great and essential point on which the success of the [American] system must depend; unless that ascendancy can be preserved, the necessary consequence must be that the laws will supersede the Constitution; and, finally, the will of the Executive, by influence of its patronage, will supersede the laws.” —John C. Calhoun (1782-1850)
    Observations: “President Trump has been warning for years about the dangers of rampant globalism and the risks of transferring our manufacturing base to other countries like China. Trump was right, and coronavirus is proving that once again. This virus could deal a body blow to globalism. Let’s hope it hastens the return of U.S. companies who decades ago left for China, even if it means slightly higher prices or lower corporate profits here. I think this virus will bolster political populism on both the right and the left.” —Gary Bauer
    For the record: “The first reason Biden will not become president is that no one who served 36 years in the Senate has ever become president. No one who served 30 years in the Senate has ever become president. No one who served 25 years in the Senate has ever become president. No one who served 20 years in the Senate has ever become president. No one who served 15 years in the Senate has ever become president.” —Byron York
    Nobody wins 49 states by default: “This was [Rev. Jesse Jackson’s] analysis back then in 1984 that ‘Reagan won not by genius, he won while we were asleep. He won by the margin of despair. He won by the fracture of our coalition. By the margin of racial division. He won by default.’ Does that sound familiar, Michigan?” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
    Non compos mentis: “Just astoundingly gross to call it the Wuhan Virus.” —MSNBC’s Chris Hayes
    Dezinformatsiya: “Katrina was the moment when all the things that felt incredibly incompetent about the Bush presidency … were realized. We gave them a proof point that we were indeed incompetent and, also, people died. This has the making, structurally, for the same kind of moment.” —MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace
    “The people who are angry that other people are noting that the coronavirus came from China are only expressing anger because they want to blame as much of it on Trump as possible and reminding people that it came from China limits their ability to attack Trump.” —The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra
    And last….”The next Democrat debate will feature the candidates sitting in two rocking chairs.” Lieawatha
