Re: The Left: “Let me get this straight: Hillary Clinton planned, financed, and executed the Russian hoax. The intel agencies knew about & briefed Obama on it…and no one seems to care. Where is Adam Schiff? Where is Rachel Maddow? This is a bombshell and they’re completely ignoring it.” —Charlie Kirk
Demo-gogue: “Today, once again, we are a house divided. But that, my friends, can no longer be. We’re facing too many crises. We have too much work to do. We have too bright a future to have it shipwrecked on the shoals of anger and hate and division.” —Joe Biden at Gettysburg (But remember, he said just last week, “I am the Democratic Party.”)
Now do Black Lives Matter: “We have no need for armed militias roaming American streets, and we should have no tolerance for extremist white supremacy groups menacing our communities.” —Joe Biden
The BIG Lie: “Eighteen thousand people got clemency [under Barack Obama].” —Joe Biden (“Records from the United States Department of Justice demonstrate … that only 1,715 people were granted reduced sentences and only 212 were pardoned by former President Obama and former Vice President Biden over their eight years in office together.” —Jordan Davidson)
Creepy: “I want to see these beautiful young ladies. I want to see them dancing when they’re four years older too.” —Joe Biden to a group of young girls
Non compos mentis, Part I: “Going out to eat with members of your household this weekend? Don’t forget to keep your mask on in between bites.” —Office of the Governor of California
Non compos mentis, Part II: “What aircraft carriers were in World War II, masks are today.” —Governor Jay Inslee
Non sequitur: “Many Christians, especially white Christians, have embraced denial of climate science. … For now, the West is burning while most white Christians turn away from the root causes of the devastation.” —Oregon State University professor Susan M. Shaw
And last… “There are tremendous differences between Trump and Biden on taxes, law and order, the sanctity of life, and America’s role in the world. But perhaps the most important difference of all is that Joe Biden represents fear, paralysis, and weakness. No country can thrive on those traits.” —Gary Bauer

It seems that the designers of the Cali TRUMP sign are what Republicans require, but on a much bigger scale. Collect some money to buy the goods, do a lot of planning on paper, probably one or two assembly run-throughs, logistics to get the goods to the proper location, manpower (didn’t see any women on the video), and time-sensitive final construction skills. Then a photo-op for posterity.
The Liberals seem to have used this same method for the last 20-30 years on the education system in the U.S. Why don’t we have Republican operatives on both coasts, capable of doing this kind of planning on a larger scale?
Yes, the liberals are true believers in history – past results guarantee the same future results. We don’t need to take care of our country. It’s on autopilot. Hey, we have AI-controlled, auto-driving cars. How hard can it be to have auto-governing countries?

The very first post after the Trump victory:
“The big news locally is that Nevada Vounty is now a Blue County having voted for Clinton and showing majority support for MJ”
followed by:
“How can you deny that Nevada County is a Blue County considering they voted strongly for Clinton”
“I suggest you look at the vote as compiled. You’ll see and Hillary was the solid winner way out polling Trump and McClintock losing solidly in NC.”
“Nevada Counties Blue status will only increase as more of the retired Repubs head for locates next to hospitals and more retired Government workers and High Techs take their place attracted by the Pines and culture of our region.”
“Here’s a more detailed look at the e current and future political demographics in Nevada County. ”
“Most importantly Nevada County going solid blue for now and the future. Perhaps you should move to a Red State or at least a Red County. Must be kinda uncomfortable for you here. ”

Michigan militant lived in a vac shop and feared ‘the country is going to go communism’
In the wake of breaking news regarding an alleged plot by a right-wing militia to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, more is being learned about the alleged conspirators.
One of the suspects, Adam Fox, had been living at a vacuum shop when it was raided by the FBI on Wednesday. The shop’s owner, Brian Titus, told WOODTV that he knew Fox was a member of a militia but had no idea how extreme his anti-government views had grown. According to Titus, Fox became especially radicalized against wearing a mask because he thought it violated his civil rights.
“He was anti-police, anti-government. He was afraid if he didn’t stand up for the Second Amendment and his rights that the country is going to go communism and socialism,” Titus said.

I just started smacking my head…of course…that’s what Paul thinks this is all about. Some sort of 1960’s Communist v. the Free World sort of invention, thus the ‘Red Scare’ angle to the whole thing. He thinks we’re bitching about Communism (not non-existent in these movements, but not dominant). It all makes sense now, most old men can’t view the world through a new model.
Of course, like Communism, this new thing that’s abroad in the land is all about power and likely is looking for hegemony, but there’s a lot of ways to put together an authoritarian system…it’s just that they rhyme.
