   The handwriting is on the wall –
   Concerns about urban crime also propelled developer Rick Caruso in the Los Angeles mayor’s race. Caruso, a former Republican who recently switched to Democrat, ran as the tough-on-crime candidate, vowing to put 1,500 new cops on the beat. His main opponent, Rep. Karen Bass, ran on her record as a prominent Democrat and years of outreach to LA’s Black and Latinx communities. Caruso’s surprisingly strong showing will force a runoff in November.
   The California results follow another upset in the Virginia governor’s race last year, where Republican newcomer Glenn Youngkin beat Democratic titan Terry McCullough in a race that hinged largely on culture wars over school curricula. State and local races don’t automatically translate into identical outcomes at the national level, but it’s hard to think of any progressive policies that are catching on with mainstream voters, while some — especially “defund the police” — are utterly dreadful.
   Prepare yourselves for permanent minority status’
   The implications are ominous for President Biden and his fellow Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. “If national Democrats don’t wake up to what happened to progressives … this cycle prepare yourselves for permanent minority status,” Jim Kessler, a long-time Democratic operative now at the Third Way think tank, tweeted after the California primaries.

   Here’s a look as to why Nevada County can now call itself SOLID BLUE:
   Last nights election counts:
   Gov
   Newsom-Dem 51% Brian Dahle-Repub 33%
   Senator
   Padila Dem 52%
   Meuser-Repub-20%
   House Dist 1
   Jones-Dem 48%
   Kiley-Repub-30%
   Assembly Dist 1
   Sandwith- Dem 48%
   Meghan Dahle- Repub 36%
   Add to that LISA SWARTHOUT with a solid lead in Dist. 3 Supervisor and NATALIE ADONA with nearly 70% for Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters
   and you get the clear picture that the Dems and Liberal candidates basically routed the Repubs and Conservatives in Nevada County.
   Keep in mind there are votes yet to come so things could change.

   The little people are fighting back against the spawn of soros and he has a spotlight on his nefarious conspiracy to destroy law and order –
   The US currently has at least 75 Soros-Backed social justice prosecutors, supported through campaign dollars and/or Soros-funded progressive infrastructure groups.
   These 75 prosecutors represent more than1 in 5 Americans or more than72 million people, including half of America’s 50 most populous cities and counties.
   Soros uses a series of shell organizations, affiliates, and pass-through committees to steer contributions to both candidates and his robust support network for progressive prosecutors, which provide gravitas andperks to preferred prosecutors.
   These efforts have followed the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, and have coincided with a nationwide crime wave.

    The ponytail of ignorance is hiding behind a generalized poll but the voters feel this way –
    In a new poll, Joe Biden has a 28% and 27% approval on inflation and gas prices with 71% and 72% disapproving respectively. All I want to know is who are the 28% and 27%? Why do they approve?
    Eighty-three percent say that the economy is “extremely or very important” to how they will vote, and 80 percent say inflation is “extremely or very important” to how they will vote. Seventy-four percent say gas prices are “extremely or very important.”

    Much like the ponytail of ignorance the long record of rancid russian dressing and TDS will never go away and does not age well just like the ponytail of ignorance –
    White House chief of staff Ron Klain’s old tweets blasting former President Trump over $3 gas prices haven’t aged well as America now faces record highs for fuel.
    Klain went after Trump in 2018 as gas prices rose toward the $3 mark and even wrote that Democrats would be happier if the media focused on the fuel prices instead of the then-president calling for a probe into surveillance on his 2016 campaign.
    “Health care premiums up, gas prices rising, manufacturers fleeing,” Klain wrote in June 2018. “So much winning! Thanks Trump!”

    Emery has his chest out proud a can be. Probably feels important like when he carried the bags for a general instead of a colonel in USAF Boy Scouts.
    Feel real proud that Nevada County voted for Newsome when fuel around her is $6+ per gallon and Newsome can’t use those beloved executive orders and grant a fuel tax holidays to the working people that the Dems love to say they represent.
    As for the District Supervisor race, if no one gets 50% then it’s the top two in November with no Valentina to screw up the election. Could be different with that dynamic.
    As for Megan Dahle, who cares about Nevada County,,,win Shasta and she’ll cruise. Again no other Repub to siphon off votes.
    What we have here is a bunch of Bay Area folks who moved her to get out of the mess they created there and now vote the same way here. You really want to turn this into a small version of San Francisco? You are willing to bring that crap to this beautiful place we call home? Moron….

    I met Sally K two or three times back in the day. She was producing some skid row low budget movie for a couple of money guys from NY or LA and I was hired. We had a few meetings. Back then, being a hick from the sticks with tics, I asked someone, “Who is Sally Kellerman?”, since her name rang with everybody but me. Never heard of her. Anyway, someone said she was in the original cast of Hair and the cast got busted for taking off her clothes on stage. I remembered hearing something about that and told the guy who answered my “Who is Sally Kellerman?” question that I was sorry I missed that. 🙂
    She was a nice lady, business like, and the whole project fell apart when the money men were BSers and did not have the funds to start production. An early introduction to Hollywood. Never saw any Hair either.

    Trump is now too old for the next election cycle.
    There are plenty of other conservatives who can take up the mantle of trying to save our nation, although it’s getting to look near impossible. The FBI and the IRS are openly corrupt and in bed with the Dems so any real challenge to the swamp will be a tough, uphill slog.
