[Does everyone know what Nevada County Supes are planning to vote on tomorrow?  Heidi Hall (District1) plans to introduce Urgency Ordinance Measure 37 that would impose draconian fines on local residents for not wearing a mask, even while social distancing.  This is the latest of the power-mad disease infecting political pinheads across the country.  Write your supervisor or be there.  gjr]

    Yes yes, be there and protest attempts to protect citizens from the virus. after all money is more important than lives and the virus is hoax anyway. Be sure to not wear mask when you go and carry a confederate flag if you have one. The stars and bars is the new swastika so proudly display it.

    Draconian fines? Well, then no one will break the law!
    There was a Star Trek NG script that had Wesley Crusher (Will Wheaton) held for the majority of the episode for the capital crime of not keeping off the wrong grass in a park. Too bad for the series, they had a chance for summary execution right then and there (the beat cops had the injections at the ready) but blew it.
    I’m not a Will Wheaton fan… I remember a quiz show he was on (a kiddie wildlife thing after STNG that my kid watched) and he had all the knowledge and intelligence of a bag of hammers. But he could pretend he could be Lt. Wesley Crusher, boy wonder, on TV. And give Nasty Woman Ashley Judd her first on screen kiss.
    But I digressed…

    Disgusting, outrageous escalating power grab…
    Supervisor Heidi Hall has placed an Urgency Ordinance on the Tuesday, July 28 Board agenda. This measure, if passed, would impose a fine on for-profit and not-for-profit businesses for failure to comply with County Health orders, which tend to parallel those of the Governor. Fines start at $1,000 daily and rise to $5,000, then $10,000 daily. In addition, fines on individuals could be assessed up to $500 daily for simply not wearing a mask in public, even while social distancing.

    Even his donors are clamoring for him to come out of the basement –
    Actress Kristin Chenoweth is being roasted online as viral video shows her singing “Don’t Be Hidin’ Out! Bring Joe Biden Out” at a Sunday night fundraiser for the presumptive 2020 Democrat presidential nominee.
    Chenoweth’s lyrics play into a very popular social media meme that the former vice president appears to be in “hiding” while running for president. Even left-wing celebrities have heckled Biden for “hiding.”
    In March, actor and Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) backer Rob Delaney said Biden has been in hiding “for very obvious reasons,” adding that President Trump will “waltz” to a second term if pitted against the former vice president in the general election.
    Earlier this month, Joe Biden said that he has taken a cognitive test used to detect mental issues. However, the former vice president’s campaign didn’t offer any details about the test or confirm if it will release the results. On Monday, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel predicted that the Democrat convention next month will be about how to “hide Joe Biden.”
    “I think the Democrats’ convention should be called ‘The Invisible Man Sequel’ because their convention will be about how do we hide Joe Biden and create this disappearing act for our candidate, so the voters don’t get to see him,” McDaniel said.

    Looks like the AG is going to tear the socialist mayors a new one –
    In his first-ever appearance before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Attorney General Bill Barr will condemn the “grave abuses” in the “bogus Russiagate scandal,” while also highlighting Black-on-Black violence and defending law enforcement officers in no uncertain terms, according to a transcript of his prepared remarks obtained by Fox News on Monday night.
    Barr’s unusually aggressive posture will be matched by a full-throated defense from GOP lawmakers on the panel, including ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, Fox News is told.
    “Ever since I made it clear that I was going to do everything I could to get to the bottom of the grave abuses involved in the bogus Russiagate scandal, many of the Democrats on this committee have attempted to discredit me by conjuring up a narrative that I am simply the president’s factotum who disposes of criminal cases according to his instructions,” Barr is expected to say at the outset of his remarks. “Judging from the letter inviting me to this hearing, that appears to be your agenda today.”
    Barr will go on to deny that Trump has improperly interfered with any of his decisions, before pointing to statistics showing progress on racial-justice issues, according to his prepared remarks.
    “Police forces today are far more diverse than ever before; there are both more Black police chiefs and more Black officers in the ranks,” Barr is expected to say. “Although the death of George Floyd – an unarmed Black man – at the hands of the police was a shocking event, the fact is that such events are fortunately quite rare. According to statistics compiled by the Washington Post, the number of unarmed Black men killed by police so far this year is eight. The number of unarmed White men killed by police over the same time period is 11. Some unarmed suspects, moreover, were physically attacking officers or threatening others at the time they were shot. And, the overall number of police shootings has been decreasing.”
    President Trump sends more federal forces to Portland as violence escalates in US citiesVideo
    At the same time, the attorney general is expected to say, Black Americans too often kill each other. “The threat to Black lives posed by crime on the streets is massively greater than any threat posed by police misconduct,” Barr’s remarks read. “The leading cause of death for young Black males is homicide. Every year approximately 7,500 Black Americans are victims of homicide, and the vast majority of them – around 90 percent – are killed by other Blacks, mainly by gunfire. Each of those lives matter.”

    Dan Miller reported this morning that Measure 37 has been continued because it was poorly written and confusing. Now there should be more time for people to lobby the Supes to stand strong on the draconian fines part of the contemplated ordinance. But someone should also point out that Newsom has no constitutional power to issue such lockdown diktats in the first place nor withhold state funds allocated to the county. Inform the people of the C19 risks, and then let them decide how and where to expose themselves.

    Daily Quotes and two memes go here today, although the quotes can go under Letters or Commies try again.
    Upright: “I’m not kneeling for the flag and screw anybody who have [sic] a problem with that. My grandmother was a[n] immigrant from the Caribbean and she worked her ass off to bring 20 people over the right way. She had no money and educated herself to be a nurse. She living good now.” —Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt
    For the record: “Y’all so blessed Janet Reno is no longer the captain. She would’ve firebombed Portland by now and salted the earth for good measure.” —Becket Adams
    Observations: “The left has done to this country everything that they feared and dreaded Donald Trump would do when he was elected.” —Brandon Straka, founder of the WalkAway movement
    Re: The Left: “My suggestion to the American people is start listening to the Democrats. … They talk about defunding the police. They talk about making excuses for violent mobs. Let’s take them at their word. They want to destroy the things that bring us together — our common bonds, our founding, our love of country.” —Rep. Dan Crenshaw
    Self-solver: “It used to be in the old days, before this, you’d write a letter, and you’d say, ‘This letter is really bad.’ You’d put it in your desk, and you go back tomorrow, and you say, ‘Oh, I’m glad I didn’t send it.’ Right? But we don’t do that with Twitter. We put it out instantaneously. We feel great, and then you start getting phone calls, ‘Did you really say this?’” —Trump on his Twitter regrets (Memo to Mr. President: Find a pen, a piece of paper, and a desk drawer, and think about it tomorrow!)
    Friendly fire I: “It’s like saying to somebody, ‘You have a bowl of s—t in front of you, and all you’ve got to do is eat half of it instead of the whole thing.’ It’s still s—t.‘” —ex-Bernie Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner on voting for Joe Biden
    Friendly fire II: “How does breaking windows at a courthouse, setting fire to a federal building, firing guns in crowds, and committing acts of vandalism forward any cause? Actually, don’t bother because there is no good answer. It is self-destructive to any cause you promote.” —Joe Scarborough
    Alpha jackass: “[Trump’s] an arsonist, not a fireman. He wants to stir violent protests to fuel his ‘law and order’ campaign ads.” —David Axelrod
    Non compos mentis: “The hard truth is women — and particularly women of color — have never had a fair shot to get ahead in this country. That’s why today, I’m releasing my plan to make sure women can fully participate in our economy and country.” —Joe Biden, mansplaining why women need a 77-year-old white man to help them
    The BIG Lie: “‘Black-on-Black Crime’ Is a Dangerous Myth.” —Teen Vogue op-ed title
    And last… “George Floyd was murdered 63 days ago. Since then, 63,000 black pre-born babies have been murdered by Planned Parenthood and abortionists in America. And Black Lives Matter supports that.” —Samuel Sey

    Daily Quotes
    Insight: “I believe there is a limit beyond which free speech cannot go, but it’s a limit that’s very seldom mentioned. It’s the point where free speech begins to collide with the right to privacy. I don’t think there are any other conditions to free speech. I’ve got a right to say and believe anything I please, but I haven’t got a right to press it on anybody else. … Nobody’s got a right to be a nuisance to his neighbors.” —H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)
    Upright: “There is nothing so good that politicians can’t make it bad and nothing so bad that politicians can’t make it worse. Compassion is good but politicians have turned compassion into the welfare state. Crime is bad but politicians have made it worse by going easy on criminals.” —Thomas Sowell
    For the record: “It was a moral absurdity. The Democrats resembled nothing so much as a bunch of corgis attempting to schtup a basketball while going after William Barr.” —Ben Shapiro on the behavior of House Judiciary Democrats

    BTW… does anyone know of a local MD who has prescribed the controversial drug du jour. hydroxychloroquine, as a part of the HCQ/Az/Zn regimen for SARS-CoV-2?
    I almost pulled the ripcord a few days ago when I felt a bit feverish and my oral temp was up to 99.5F at bedtime. It was also hot that day and into the night. A false alarm, as it was down back to normal the next morning, but that left me with the question: how hard will it be to get in Nevada County if I come down with symptoms?
    Just wondering.
    The demon sperm lady that caught Crabby’s eye calls it a cure but no one else in authority positions does, it’s just a treatment that’s been shown to be much more effective than that voodo that you do so well. And the “daemon” rantings she made wasn’t as a MD, it was as a lay evangelical preacher, and at least she wasn’t doing the rattlesnake handling thing.

    U.S. solar power plant backed by over $700 mln in govt loans goes bust -filing
    Nichola Groom
    ReutersJuly 30, 2020, 11:16 AM
    By Nichola Groom
    July 30 (Reuters) – The owner of a big Nevada solar-thermal power plant that received $737 million in loans from the U.S. Department of Energy filed for bankruptcy on Thursday, according to a court filing, potentially leaving U.S. taxpayers with a whopping bill.
    The project’s failure is a blow to the DOE renewable energy loan program, which had already been criticized by Republicans as a waste of money after it backed failed solar panel maker Solyndra during the Obama administration.
    Tonopah’s 110-megawatt plant in the Nevada desert was billed as the first to be able to store solar energy. But its technology, which uses more than 10,000 mirrors to focus the sun’s heat on a tower to create steam, was both unreliable and expensive.
    Soon after it began operating in 2015, the facility suffered a string of leaks in its hot salt tank, a key component of its energy storage system. It has not operated since April of 2019.
    The plant had been selling power at $139 per megawatt-hour, the company said. Solar energy contracts for large photovoltaic projects today are generally below $30 per MWh.
