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)

    Talk about idiots that are tone dear –
    Vice President Kamala Harris’ decision to hit the trail with former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney could backfire in Michigan, where Cheney is hugely unpopular with a critical voting bloc in the swing state.
    “It was surprising for us as Arab Americans to have Kamala Harris bringing someone whose family name always reminds us of war crimes in the Middle East,” Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib told reporters in an online call Monday. Liz Cheney’s father, Dick Cheney, was vice president under former President George W. Bush and was a strong proponent of the 2003 Iraq War.

    The war mongers’ court jester:
    “Ukraine absolutely can win,” said Austin. “And we define winning as Ukraine being a sovereign state that can defend its territory and deter aggression in the future.”
    Ahem – a somewhat “smaller” sovereign state.
    In a meat-grinder war that is the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia will prevail based on sheer numbers of available humans that can be transformed into casualties. It looks like Austin is signalling that Russia will probably be allowed to hold onto a lot of what they currently occupy in Ukraine.
    Maybe this should be openly admitted to by the Biden admin.

    Total US debt has jumped by $473 BILLION over the last 3 weeks alone, to a record $35.8 trillion.
    This means the US has taken on $1,450 of debt for EVERY American over the last 3 weeks alone.
    It also means that the US now holds a record $103,700 of debt for every American.
    In 2024, the US paid a total of $1.16 trillion of interest on this debt in its first year above the $1 trillion mark.
    In interest alone, the US paid $3,360 for every American during fiscal year 2024.

    “What is the long-term plan here?”
    For politicians the plan is to be out of office before it collapses.
    “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”
    ― Alexander Fraser Tytler ”
    For many (soon to be most) Americans, we have already reached the dependence stage. Millions have become quite satisfied to live like animals in a zoo – doing nothing all day and expecting food, medical, and shelter from their keepers.
    We were supposed to be a Constitutional Republic with the federal govt forbidden (outside of disasters) to give out anything to anyone. That was to be the job of the state and local govts.
    I expect it to get worse for quite a while. It will be interesting to see how far they can blow up the debt balloon before it finally pops.

    More in Forbes about Trump being a Fascist. From Four Star General and Former White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly:
    “When asked if Trump was a fascist, Four Star General Kelly read out the Wikipedia definition of fascism and said the former president “certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure.”
    Kelly said, in his experience, fascism is the kind of thing that Trump “thinks would work better in terms of running America,” adding that the former president was “certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators.”
    On the issue of admiring dictators, Kelly said Trump “more than once” told him that “Hitler did some good things, too.”
    The former White House chief of staff said Trump had little understanding of the Constitution and was frustrated by the limits to his power, adding: “He certainly prefers the dictator approach to government.”
    Kelly, a former Marine general, also claimed Trump was surprised that the uniformed and retired generals he brought on board to work in his administration were loyal to the Constitution instead of “the boss, in this case, him.”
    Kelly also reiterated his earlier statements about Trump describing wounded and dead veterans as “losers and suckers” and claimed the former president did not want “to be seen with amputees…that lost their limbs in defense of this country.”
    Kelly agreed to speak with the Times on the record after being troubled by Trump’s recent comments about using the U.S. military to target his domestic enemies. “And I think this issue of using the military…to go after American citizens is one of those things I think is a very, very bad thing. Even to say it for political purposes to get elected, I think it’s a very, very bad thing, let alone actually doing it,” Kelly said.
    In a statement shared with the press, the Trump campaign’s top spokesperson Steven Cheung said: “John Kelly has totally beclowned himself with these debunked stories he has fabricated, because he failed to serve his President well while working as Chief of Staff and currently suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
    Earlier on Tuesday, the Atlantic reported that Trump in a private conversation in the White House said: “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had…People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders.” Citing former generals who worked for Trump, the report noted that the “sole military virtue he prizes is obedience.”
    Earlier this month, Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo that the big problem facing the country was the “enemy from within, not even the people that have come in destroying our country.” Trump then said the “bad people” from within include “radical left lunatics,” and that “it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary by the military.” The former president later doubled down on his ‘enemy from within’ rhetoric and specifically named top Democrats like Reps. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi as examples of domestic enemies. “These are bad people. We have a lot of bad people…But when you look at shifty Schiff and some of the others, yeah, they are to me the enemy from within. I think Nancy Pelosi is an enemy from within,” Trump told Fox News. In response, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign issued a statement saying Trump’s comments suggesting “his fellow Americans are worse ‘enemies’ than foreign adversaries”—along with his past comments about being “a dictator on ‘day one’” and terminating the Constitution—“should alarm every American who cares about their freedom and security.”

    How does it feel to support for President a candidate who at one of his campaign rallies recently talked about the size of Arnold Palmers Cock. How low can you. go. I remember when character was a prerequisite for running for President in the Republican Party. Things have changed since then for the Repubs.
    Direct Trump quote:
    “Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women,This is a guy that was all man
    “When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, ‘Oh my God. That’s unbelievable,’” Trump said with a laugh. “I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man.”

    A sign of a failing campaign that is really flailing –
    New Trump Endorsement Is A Dead Canary In Kamala’s Michigan Coal Mine
    Former President Donald Trump picked up endorsements from two Muslim leaders Saturday at a rally in Novi, Michigan, and it might be a telling sign that Kamala Harris’s campaign is slipping with a traditionally Democratic voter bloc.
    Forty-three percent of Arab American voters said they will likely vote for Kamala, compared to 45% who said they are more likely to vote for Trump, according to a recent poll from Arab News/YouGov. On the question of peace between Israel and Palestine, 39% said Trump would resolve the war, while 33% said Kamala was up to the task.
    “We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises peace, not war!” Alzuhairi said
    before mentioning a “positive meeting” he and other Muslim leaders had with Trump.
    Trump also brought on Muslim immigrant Bill Bazzi, the mayor of Dearborn Heights, Michigan, a city with one of the largest Muslim populations in America.
    “We are going to stop the wars; we are going to make the United States safe again,” Bazzi said.
