[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]

    Tru dat –
    2016 Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein on Monday warned Democrats will lose to President Donald Trump in November if they try hiding what she described as former Vice President Joe Biden’s “cognitive decline.”
    “Biden’s team won’t let him do interviews. He made 2 short teleprompter speeches in Missouri this weekend & both generated massive gaffes that went viral,” Stein, Harvard Medical School graduate, tweeted. “You can’t beat Trump by trying to hide to avoid the issue of #BidensCognitiveDecline. How is this not a massive red flag?”

    Biden, at one point mistakenly referring to “AR-14’s,” went on to press the individual to acknowledge that machine guns are illegal. Biden appeared to then misspeak in saying AR-15’s are illegal, before questioning why anyone needs “100 rounds.”

    “Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Tuesday that he was unaware of any indication from his agency that physical barriers along America’s borders would help halt the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S. — contradicting an assertion President Donald Trump made earlier in the day….
    Redfield was asked by Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) if the CDC’s recommendations for combating the coronavirus addressed whether “structural barriers” at the borders “would be of any use in mitigating” the growing outbreak. ”

    “Narcissists live and die by their own version of the truth. Is it the truth if reality has been distorted? A narcissist believes it is. Extreme cognitive distortions and rigid unconscious defense mechanisms change a person’s perception of an experience. Paramount distortions and defenses are typically employed by a person with a narcissistic personality disorder; both alter reality in order to make it more palpable for a fragile ego.”

    We all know that Dr. Jill Stein is a Russian agent, doing Putin’s bidding. Hillary said so and I believe her! Don’t listen to Jill Stein…like Brother Ben did.
    Despite Dr. Rebane’s lamenting over Tulsi still in the race and thus messing up with our Dropout Derby standings, I must say that after Hillary called Tulsi a Russian agent (also doing Putin’s bidding), I figure the Throwing Samoan can’t be all that bad. Don’t listen to Tulsi!
    Come to find out, Howard Shultz did not officially enter the race because he was too afraid of Hillary labeling him a Russian agent doing Putin’s bidding. Ok, I made that last part up.
    Actually, being known as a Russian stooge would have greatly increased Starbuck’s sales here in the States, judging solely by their preferred clientele and would have perhaps stopped the OWS crowd, the Bernie Bros, and Antifa from smashing up all those Starbucks’ windows.
    Bernie and Al Sharpton spend hours together in a coffee shop recently……each just sat there for the longest time wondering who would pick up the check.

    Yahoo: ‘Mental Health Professionals’ Say Biden’s Fine, Trump is nuts and endangers the Human Race
    “After Yahoo listed a few Biden gaffes, Bandy Lee argued from intimidation — why are we even talking about Biden when Trump endangers the entire world?
    “None of them are catastrophically alarming the way the signs have been with Donald Trump. I think there needs to be a measure of proportion here. On the one hand, we have [in Trump] such mental instability and such great cognitive decline as well as neurological signs that show imminent risk to the entire human civilization, compared with some gaffes perhaps. If we’re not addressing the former, why are we even talking about the latter?”
    Like a good Democrat, Knowles only found “mental health professionals” who trashed Trump and defended Biden:
    Biden “digresses and gets tangential, that’s not cognitive decline,” Lynne Meyer, a California psychologist told Yahoo News. “Trump’s cognitive decline or problems are that he doesn’t even seem to have comprehension of reality. That’s what it looks like.”
    In 2018, Meyer joined more than 70 other mental health professionals in signing a letter to Trump’s then-physician Randy Jackson requesting that the president be given a mental health evaluation“”
    https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2020/03/10/yahoo-mental-health-professionals-say-bidens-fine-trump-endangers
    Boy, 70 neurotic pearl clutching shrinks is a far cry from 70,000. Things have changed since 2018…or have they?
    Hmmm. Shrinks, while providing a valuable service, are generally quite the strange lot. Most are attracted to the profession to heal their own fractured minds. To achieve Silence of the Lambs and have it quiet in there. Lord only knows what goes on behind closed doors.

    It’s kind of sad to watch. Biden seems like a decent guy for a half-bright graft-oriented public figure (I expect there’s no other way to get a Senator’s seat in Delaware). It’s as if someone called up central casting for an East Coast, Thomas Nast drawn politician, but I hate to see someone physically fail on the biggest role of their life.

Biden supports every single serious national effort to restrict gun rights, all of them part of a concerted effort to incrementally terminate civilian gun ownership in the United States. It’s all right there on his campaign issues page. When CNN asked Biden what he had to say to gun owners who claimed that “a Biden Administration means they’re going to come for my guns,” he answered, “Bingo, you’re right if you have an assault weapon.” ”

    Trump tweets about the wall and the virus
    “Going up fast. We need the Wall more than ever!”
    When asked about that statement by Trump Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control directly contradicts trumps statement by saying ““Not that I’ve seen,”
    Redfield was asked by Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) if the CDC’s recommendations for combating the coronavirus addressed whether “structural barriers” at the borders “would be of any use in mitigating” the growing outbreak.
    Are you contending that Trump used information that the Director of the Centers for Disease Control didn’t know about? Wouldn’t a responsible President rely on the information gathered by those in charge, in this case Renfield? I contend Trump made it up on on the fly with no information to justify his opinion. I call that a lie. How do you characterize it?

    Paul @ 6:20: Try using your own head with questions like this. Obviously if corona virus carriers were crossing the southern border on foot, a physical barrier would certainly be of use. That this isn’t happening at present doesn’t change the reality of the situation. Trump and his appointee disagree on the usefulness of building the wall for this particular purpose doesn’t imply lying on either’s part.
    Note well, of course, this disagreement has nothing whatever to do with the question of halting illegal entry across our southern border. Do so, of face the present day Greek problem with the Turkish border where the next step is going to involve live ammunition.
    Do not kid yourself: I was stationed in Berlin in 1969 and zero East Germans crossed the wall, those who tried were shot dead from behind by their jailors.
    We simply cannot ignore this problem and well-meaning people would like to see a solution short of military self-protection. No sovereign nation can permit an invasion by foreign aliens.
