Sacramento City Council idiots are going to pass “ordinances (that) range from requiring gun liability insurance to a yearly $25 gun harm reduction fee” -  that’s $25/gun/year.  The claimed purpose of these insane ordinances is to “combat senseless gun violence”. However, anyone with a working 3-digit IQ will immediately see that these ordinances can and will do NOTHING to reduce gun violence.  Their real purpose is another step in ratcheting the elimination of Second Amendment rights. (more here)

Leftwing Union columnist George Boardman doesn’t recognize the constant stream of Democrat lies.  Throughout history socialists have always been the dominant liars since the governance they are selling has never worked and only delivered the greatest misery to the greatest number who acceded to travel their road.  Predictably his 15oct24 sacrament (here) on free speech only focused on the Right, claiming that “conservatives are disingenuous when they don the mantle of absolute free speech by viewing lies and falsehoods as just part of the exchange of ideas. It is hard to take seriously people who celebrate media personalities who sell falsehoods as a triumph of free speech, a true debasement of the idea.  (piling more on Loomer)  We got a taste of that in a statement issued by our local Republicans eager to hear Loomer’s viewpoints. 'We look forward to hearing about her struggle to defend her First Amendment rights.' This from a party whose leader can’t resist telling one lie after another.”  Boardman is a steadfast loyal water carrier for all those on our political left. 

‘Kamala Harris is an Idiot’ writes Charles Cooke (here) in the 14oct24 National Review in a blisteringly on-the-mark summary of her public career, and he correctly concludes that everything she has attempted has shown her to be “wildly, catastrophically, incontestably out of her depth.”  In spite of that, lamestream “reporters have struggled mightily to find kind ways of describing Harris’s ineluctable inability to convey anything comprehensible, complex, or concrete.”

Our leftwing neighbors continue stealing Trump yard signs.  This year is no different than all the previous years that we have lived in Nevada County.  Our conservative friends living in different parts of the western county consistently report that their Republican election signs disappear very quickly after being displayed.  A simple tour through our community will demonstrate that somehow Democrat promoting signs proliferate suggesting that there are very few or no Republicans living in these parts who promote their candidates during election seasons.

Well-known hedge fund manager and former Democrat Bill Ackman (CEO Pershing Square Management, Chairman of Howard Hughes Corporation) has gone public with an extensive list of reasons for supporting Trump in the coming election (here).  It’s definitely worth a read since Ackman has now become the new target for the progressive commentariat.  An example of this is Yahoo’s Rick Newman who hasn’t a clue as to what forces are really at work in shaping the future of America and the free world.  He demonstrates this for all to see in his 15oct24 ‘What Bill Ackman and other business titans don’t get about politics’ (here).  His other politically naïve businessmen include Elon MuskPeter Thiel, and Marc Andreessen who have come out with their support for Trump.

[25oct24 update] Sounds of Socialists’ Silence.  Here are a couple more items for progressives and socialists to shun from discussing in public.  Did you know that electricity rates in blue states that mandate green policies to fight catastrophic climate change are significantly higher than those in the red states with sane climate policies?  (more here)  And are you aware that DOJ is pushing DEI, especially the ‘equity’ part, to make sure that our police and fire departments will be filled with people who cannot pass either the qualifying IQ tests, physical ability tests, or both?  Yep, double dummies and weaklings can now bypass these tests and be hired so as to keep the departments’ African-American and female ratios up to snuff.  Anybody from the Left care to offer a cogent comment on these? (more here)

    A 3 digit IQ?
    Double digit will do if the human being involved actually tries to use the brain box.
    “The laws would prohibit selling firearms from homes and ban minors from entering gun stores.”
    It will be fun to see those rules enforced. Minors will be banned from sporting goods stores?
    “Supporters say the new rules will help protect the public from any more tragedies.”
    So – if I buy insurance and pay my gun tax and try to shoot someone, the gun won’t fire? The bullet will bounce off the person I’m trying to shoot? W-T-F?
    Forget being able to walk and chew gum. How do these people obtain oxygen and nutrients?
    Even if you don’t even own a firearm you should be alarmed at the level of stupid these people operate at.

    Looks like George R. got triggered and didn’t finish the article…or he pushed ‘only the news that fits (the MAGA party line)
    “When I was younger and more idealistic, I was convinced that I and people who thought like me had discovered the ultimate truth, and that part of the process of showing everybody else the path to the light was to censor what the opposition was saying.
    But as I got older and—hopefully—wiser, I realized that my side didn’t have all of the answers, that the other side also raised some good points, and trying to censor what they had to say was just another means of donning blinders that would lead me to a very narrow view of life.
    As my fellow liberals evolved into progressives, they didn’t seem to learn this lesson. That’s when we get the Biden administration putting the heat on Facebook and others to remove posts that spread lies about vaccines in general and the COVID vaccine in particular.”

    Too real for the hyena and she can keep the lizzo –
    Harris’ support among Black men has dropped even more significantly, according to the report: 70% said they would vote for Harris in November, down from Biden’s 85% in 2020.
    While Harris has made numerous attempts to gain support from men and Black America, male commentators from radio host Charlamagne Tha God to comedic actor Eddie Griffin have warned that it may not work and that Trump himself has a unique appeal to Black men.
    Jamar, a rapper, producer, and actor from shows like “The Sopranos,” slammed Harris and her supporters and applauded Trump’s leadership.
    “This woman, to me, is not qualified to run, you know, a Dunkin’ Donuts or a 7-Eleven, let alone the corporation that we call the United States of America,” Jamar, a founding member of Brand Nubian, said in an interview with “The Art of Dialogue” last week.
    “Let’s keep it real a n—- like Trump. First of all, there was no wars when Trump was in – was the president, how about that? There was no wars going on while Trump was president. This mother—— was doing gangster s— to n—– like in the Taliban showing them pictures of their house from a satellite,” he said.
    Jamar added that he is among many Black Americans “in the real world” that do not support Harris.
    “Trust me the sentiment on the street in the real world is a lot of people are not f—— with this woman. They see right through her, and they’re trying to blame it on Black men, but no, I see a lot of Black women that are not f—— with her neither.”
    Former Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowlers Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell joined Trump onstage at a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania on Saturday.
    Brown, wearing.a red MAGA hat, shouted “Let’s vote for Trump! Let’s make some noise for the president!”
    “Let’s go Trump, you already know, vote Trump, let’s go,” Bell said
    Brown proceeded to lead the crowd in a “Here we go Steelers” chant.
    The ex-NFL player has been vocal about his support of Trump, frequently commenting about the GOP presidential nominee on X.

    From the Conservative Wall Street Journal:
    Economists Say Inflation, Deficits Will Be Higher Under Trump Than Harris
    In WSJ survey, economists see Donald Trump’s plans as more inflationary by a larger margin than in July when President Biden was on the ticket
    “The upshot: Economists still say Trump’s policies are more likely to add to inflation, deficits and interest rates. If anything, the margin has grown since July.
    Of the 50 economists who responded to the survey’s question on inflation, 68% said prices would rise faster under Trump than under Harris. That was up from 56% in July. Only 12% of the economists thought inflation would be higher under a Harris presidency, while the remainder saw no material difference between the candidates.

    Former President Donald Trump called for the termination of the Constitution to overturn the 2020 election and reinstate him to power Saturday in a continuation of his election denialism and pushing of fringe conspiracy theories.
    “Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump wrote in a post on the social network Truth Social and accused “Big Tech” of working closely with Democrats. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

    Not the worst recitation…..

    The Democrats could have stopped Trump by doing one thing: offering the people something better, but to do that, they had to allow the country to evolve, to change, to end the Obama era, and move on to the next thing. But we know they can’t let go. They’re out of power for a generation the second they lose.
    So they need Trump. They need him to sell fear. They need him to keep their voters helpless and full of irrational hatred toward those they share this country with. But look at what it has done to them. Look at what it has done to all of us.
    Trust in the media is at an all-time low. No one wants to watch their movies, late-night comedy, or cable news. It’s all slipping through their fingers.

    How is this even close….the democrats probably could have avoided another loss to Trump (I am not calling the election result) if they just had backed off and let Trump skulk back to New York to stew over matters. Instead they decided to make an example of him and have given him millions in free publicity and turned him into a martyr.
