[The genesis of our wildfires. Here’s a topic everyone is afraid of discussing. Almost all of our wildfires are manmade – they are started by indigents, crazies, and people with a political agenda. The fires started by accidents and natural causes are well-known, few and far in between. However, our politicians, liberal activists, and media of all hues treat western wildfires as if they were ‘acts of God’, and therefore their genesis need not be questioned, let alone examined, any further. Given the number of annual wildfires, notice how rare is there any subsequent mention of arson investigations or what these may have discovered. It seems that the ‘vulnerable underprivileged’ have a natural right to start fires and then be left alone. And it is not a stretch to imagine the damage anti-American terrorists can do in a free country by simply setting wildfires with easily fabricated, time-delayed pyrotechnic devices. But from what the public sees, our authorities neither suspect nor pursue such errant behavior – the fires just magically flare up and cause totally acceptable devastation. gjr]

Orange Man bad. Newsom good. It’s not Biden’s fault. There are no shithole countries.
There is more intersectionality with conservatism and libertarianism by far than with the Far Left planks (many) of the Democratic Party and Libertarians. Rand Paul is a more of leaning right Libertarian than, say, a Lyndsey Graham. Punchy is more of a Dennis Kucinich type of guy. Probably thinks that a libertarian. The Green Libertarian Party started the moment Punchy could not pull the level for Obama the second time. What, around 2012? Said that way when he, in a moment of clarity, could not bring himself to pull the lever for “I’m With Her” Hillary Clinton. Now he is back as the former Green Libertarian after pulling the level for Joesph Biden. Green Liberation. Announcement: Green Libertarian, the professional entertainer formerly known as Punchy.
The Left has moved from its classical liberalism roots. And moved in leaps and bounds to government is the solution. The individual becomes less, The Great White Father in Washington, who is also Santa Claus, has mushroomed like Jack planting his bean stock seed and now it’s up mushroomed up to the monster’s house. And he ain’t pretty. And he likes to eat white Englishmen. Talk about a social justice warrior.

Now that the polls have opened up and show Newsom 8 points ahead, Punchy has something to talk about. He is parading, tootin his zoothorn like a Clamper marching in a parade. Next thing you know he will be doing the Moon Walk across these boards. He smells the blood of Republicans.
The most astonishing thing about the recall is in the most progressive Social Democrat state in the Union with less than a quarter of the voters registered as Republican, Gavin Newsom is up only by 8!!!
Guess more that 24% of the California voters are saying something smells rotten in Denmark.

Toes, it’s been slim pickings at the national level for 40+ years, but I can laugh at myself… a survival skill for thoughtful libertarians and Libertarians.
At some point a principled party with 50 state ballot access may get traction.

I only bear ill will towards Uncle Milty Friedman, who screwed the pooch during the ’92 campaign on the old McNeil/Lehrer Report on PBS. He was asked by McNeil to rate the candidates’ economic views and he shocked the hell out of the guy on the air by saying only the Libertarian candidate, Andre Marrou, made any sense at all… McNeil followed up with “Does he have any chance of winning” and Friedman, rather than saying something like, it depends on whether he gets covered by the media and included in debates, just said no, he doesn’t.
Marrou was very good at preaching to the choir. Not so good at persuading the folks who just wanted the gravy train to continue.

Even dyed-in-the-wool globalists such as Carl Bildt, the former Prime Minister of Sweden, EU envoy, UN Secretary-General envoy, and current WHO special envoy, would not give the British broadcaster a positive review of the 78-year-old American leader.
“[Biden’s] ‘America is back’ suggested a golden age in our relations. But it didn’t happen and there’s been a shift in a fairly short period of time. The complete lack of consultations over the withdrawal has left a scar,” he said.
“Expectations for a revival of the transatlantic relationship have been deflated,” he added.
Biden losing his cheerleaders among Europe’s liberal “centrist” establishment are compounded by the fact that he came into office having already thoroughly alienated conservative-led NATO allies such as Poland and Hungary, of course, not least due to his having branded them “totalitarian regimes” like Belarus, led by the quasi-Stalinist Alexander Lukashenko.
The Hungarian government, in particular, hit back at “the continuous lecturing, accusations and attacks” of Democrat administrations over the years, with the country’s foreign minister saying that “It would be great if Joe Biden could tell us why he put pressure on the Ukrainian government to fire its chief prosecutor, and how all of this related to the investigation into his son’s Ukrainian energy deals grinding to a halt” in a stunning public rebuke.

It was just last March that the WH circulated the memo to direct all staff to henceforth refer to the Biden Administration as the ‘Biden-Harris Administration’, accentuated in bold print. Seems like there was been much bad blood between the Biden side and the Harris side of the equation since the March decree. The old of sight basement campaign worked great for Joe Biden and appears to be Harris’s new strategy. The more you see, the less you like.
Reminds me of Bill Clinton’s first year. The more his wife talked about cookie recipes, the more the first lady’s numbers went up. The more she talked about Washington policy and healthcare, the more her numbers went down. She was better suited to stay away from the political issues and cameras and better suited for sharing cookie recipes behind the scenes.
