  1. Welcome to the White House, the 2023 Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights! President Harris is here to make sure we do this the right way.

  2. Dimwit Dump has gone on social media and called for his mob of violent followers to “make citizens arrests” of public officials he disapproves of. I hope his band of misfits understands that if that was a viable legal course of action then Donnie Dumbell should be trying it himself, instead of sending them to their doom.

    • hmmmm.

      False imprisonment is a serious offense.

      Cal Penal Code § 236 and 237

      The false imprisonment was done 4 years to life depending on
      for a criminal street gang’s benefit the circumstances of the case

      A gun was used 10 years

      A gun was discharged 25 years

      The victim was seriously injured by a gun Life

      • LOL…I guess it didn’t make it into the nut job blogs you consider ‘news sources.’ Not surprising that you have no facts.

        • We we sure didn’t get it from Racheal madcow like you do nightly.

          We also didn’t get it from mainstream legacy media which has proven to be the biggest liars to the American people.

          You aren’t fooling anybody L

          • LOL…as I said, your only “news sources” are RWNJ blogs that tell you what you want to hear regardless of facts. Thanks for confirming.

  4. President Biden suffered an embarrassing moment of confusion at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as he stumbled through a Veterans Day service.

    The President, 80, needed stage directions from an Arlington Honor Guard after laying a ceremonial wreath, taking several steps in the wrong direction before he was pointed to his spot next to Vice-President Kamala Harris.

  5. It’s beginning to look a lot like prison.

    Jack Smith will be calling Trump’s insurrectionists to be witnesses in the Big Guy’s trial next year.

    If Trump is Commander-in-Chief and his dumb seditionists are a “militia” or so think republican gun nuts, well, they’ll say Trump needed their help and ordered them to show up on 1/6/21 and go to the Capital.

    And, the verdict is…………….

    We will be roommates Donnyboy. Can you toss a salad w/Cajun dressing?

    • In other news…

      The defense for theg uy that attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer has proposed that a mass hysteria/groupthink mindset vilifying democrat politicians, widely propagated via consevative media and deeply held by the defendant, is a reasonable cause for their client to break and enter and then assault Mr Pelosi.

      If that defense holds there is logically no reason any citizen would be outside the law if they acted to break and enter and then assault anyone inside their own home based on their deeply held beliefs, no matter how brainwashed or insane the perp might be. It would literally legalize breaking and entering and assault “just because”…

    • I’d love to see your face if and when Trump triumphs and the GOP controls both houses. There will be retribution and the the communist Democrats will be shattered for a generation. I hope!

    • wtf you lying about now felon bottom bunk boy? brutus will be packing your roomy well used oily brown eye.

  6. We hold these truths to be self-evident, all men and women are created by the — Go — you know — you know the thing.

  7. It’s hard to tell, but Putin’s clearly losing the war in Iraq, losing the war at home.

  10. In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.

    • Trump is to Truth as Crucifix and Holy Water are to Vampire

  12. We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean.

  13. I feel awkward being around Lindsey Graham because the Bible says I should kill him.

    • An inherently self-contradictory tome.

      Impossible to utilize as a general source for values or ethics, since such contradictions exist.

      Only the least intelligent would rely upon it as ‘literal’, or ‘factual’.

      • It was a joke on Bill Maher’s Real Time Show.

        Only a pseudo-intellectual would take that seriously.

        In fact, taking the bible seriously is a joke.

    • Trump, and the MAGA are an enormous tax upon this nation. Their antics cost us billions. Our only recourse is to try to recoup losses over the long term by administrative and jurisdictional legal lawsuits to prove their malfeasance. Their bet is that their carborundum will efface the Republic, and that the Citizens will eventually give up. We can hope that the MAGA racket will be foiled… that the swamp WILL be drained.

  15. New Speaker of the House, in a fund raising e-mail, promises; “I refuse to put people over politics.”

    Republicans; when they tell the truth, you know it’s an accident.

    • Speaker Mike Johnson’s wife, Kelly, took down her crazy right wing religious fanatic website that went on about bestiality and stuff from her personal bible.

      Why?

      Every chrisitan has their own version of the bible that they’ve edited to suit themselve and also to use as a weapon. Can Jesus sue them when he returns?

      Maybe Rex Parris can help with that.

    • you know…when they willfully decide to calcify their activity, to lock up activity in ‘the people’s’ chamber, they fulfill this accidentally revealed truth…they intend, willfully, to silence basic democratic operations, to mute the people’s only voice, and turn the nation into a Balkanized agglomeration of partisan states.

  16. I was asked to defend both Trump and Santos, but when Bobby Melendez offered to pay me in gold bricks, I couldn’t resist.

  17. Donald Trump asked me to be one of his attorneys. I wish I could but I’m representing George Santos right now.

  18. I taught at the University of Pennsylvania for four years and I used to teach political theory.

  20. I was a fighter pilot, but none of that ‘plurality of adult life training’ has any value in navigaring conplex geopolitics…in fact, it DISTORTS AND BIASES the worldview and the mindset.

    “A man with a hammer sees everything as a nail”

    • Not to worry. I am simply a useful pawn in the MAGA scheme of things.

      I will mindlessly vote “Yes” on all the MAGA legislation (don’t have to read it)

      That’s why the party got behind me.

      All they wanted was somone to peel off over 300 votes from Latinos to win in 2020 simply because of my last name. It worked despite Republicans criticizing “identity” politics.

      I can’t go any higher in California polics. Maybe I can move on to a great lobbying career. I will soon tire of being in campaign mode all the time as a House member waiting to be defeated eventually.

      And, yes, I’m supporting Donald Trump in the primary. My oath to the Constituion meant nothing to me when I voted no on the second impeachment and the 1/6 investigation and for Speaker Mike Johnson, a Christian extremist or an extremist Christian. Does it matter?

      Mike Johnson was the “architect” of the legal scheme to overturn the 2020 election. That is how corrupt I am and proud of it.

    • You know, that ‘report’ or ‘study’ he did is merely opinion, and a savagely misinformed one at that.

      Mike’s only answer is to ‘start shooting, ASAP’ for everything.

      But he and many others are ignoring recent political developments in Israel that VERY SERIOUSLY complicate US support.

      That is…wait for it…Bibi tried to dismantle Israel’s Supreme Court. It seriously damaged his standing; There were dozens of protests, some numbering in the 10’s of thousands. Netanyahu is moving further rightward, and showing serious autocratic tendencies, and even Israelis are pissed at this. THAT is probably why the attack happened when and how it did…because attacking a divided place is the most likely way to begin a civil war.

      Mike and his (R) ilk are moving USA in the same direction through religious fervor, divisiveness and obstruction, and propagandism.

      So, let’s Discount Mike Right Now. Set this in your memory. He is naive and anxious to shoot first, and to cause an authoritarian rise anywhere, fueled by violence.

  22. Catholic Priest Warns Ouija Boards Lead to ‘Demonic Possession’

    Ouija boards and other attempts to contact the dead should be avoided because “angels, demons, spirits, and souls do exist, and they can have an impact on our life,” an exorcist priest warns this Halloween season.

    “We too often forget that there is much more to this world than meets the eye,” Fr. Dan Reehil, a priest of the Diocese of Nashville, told Fox News Digital in a Monday report.

  23. When Speaker? Mike Johnson messes up next month and the House republcans cause a government shutdown, I’m next in line.

    • “The Ark Encounter is one way to bring people to this recognition of the truth, that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events,” Mike Johnson said in 2021 about a creationist theme park where children learn dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark

      • A California mayor believes that chirping birds may be the 21st century antidote to rising crime rates.

        The Wall Street Journal reports that Lancaster, CA Mayor R. Rex Parris has been broadcasting recordings of chirping birds along a half mile stretch of a main thoroughfare in his town for five hours daily for most of the past year.

        According to Parris, the recorded bird chirping subconsciously discourages criminality by fine-tuning brain chemicals. “Everybody is now in a better mood, a better place,” he says.

    • Not surprised that the Repugnicans have migrated to the last redoubt for losers…religion and religious fervor.

      They follow Iran and others into theocratic despotism based in what is essentially the re-emergence of the original American religious movement – Puritanism.

      Yeah. The people who brought you witch hunts and genocide of indigenous ‘savages’ who were in the way of their God-given right to the fruits of any land they could seize through conquest.

      For all the assessment of ‘witch hunt’ the Repugnicans believe and propagate from fearless leader, it is uniquely condemning that they are the actual original with hunters.

      Having a evangelically charged religious leader is just another re-emergence of the racist. bigoted, chauvinistic Puritan, and expect almost every minister to cheer this on.

  25. Hey, Mike Johnson!

    ‘grats on becoming speaker of the House or Reprehensibles

    We should really get together some time – it would be engaging and enjoyable.

  26. Lancaster’s election, which oddly enough is held in April, will be mail ballot only. The ballots will be counted at Fern Street by Lancaster employees. What could possibly go wrong?

    • Why doesn’t Lancaster have an independent third party agent count the votes like most normal cities? Why is everything in Lancaster done in back rooms and in the dark? It’s no wonder why we have so many no bid contracts and insider deals going on all the time. Lancaster lacks transparency.

        • What has been made up on this site, Frank Rizzo? Birds on the BLVD? Eye in the Sky and the Godfather’s connection? Ecolution? Chinese birth tourism failed attempt? Attracting Asians and ‘The Gays’ to the BLVD? Lying about a fake sheriff shooting? Traction Seal? Destroying the lives of Raymond Lee Jennings, Randy Floyd, Esmeralda Jorge, Johnathan Ervin, James Ledford and David Grejada? No bid contract for Kensington? No advertised job at AVTA for the mayor’s former employee? Closing of the homeless shelter and the missing million dollars? Declaring war on Section 8 and costing the taxpayer millions in a lost lawsuit? The FBI investigation of Lancaster? The illegal purchase of the McMahan building? Creating a 100k a year job in Lancaster for George Runner when he termed out? The choice of location for the new fairgrounds? The use of housing funds for the Sierra Highway overpass? The city funded infrastructure for the Lancaster Baptist compound? The list is endless.

          • Lancaster is a corrupt mess. The good old boys have made millions off their insider deals. It must be nice to know when a developer is looking for land to build on so you can buy it on the cheap and turn around and make a killing. People like Frank Rizzo turn a blind eye to this or they benefit. That’s the Lancaster way.

  27. I will not pull the fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building again. I will not pull the fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building again. I will not pull the fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building again. I will not pull the fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building again.

    Can I go home now?

  28. Trump wanted to play Big Boy Monopoly. Well, there are hotels in New York and a….JAIL.

    Right now, Trump got a GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL. DO NOT PASS GO. DO NOT COLLECT $200 card.

    The hotels are going back and he’ll be living in a flat on MEDITERRANEAN AVENUE.

    Does Melania have to visit him in prison. She and his rotten kids haven’t been to any of his hearings to support their inheritence, er, I mean their dear, sweet father who they love so much.

    I is a-wonderin’ if New York disgorges so much of the Trump assets and mounds of debt pile up, if there will be any inheritance. Don’t you?

    Anyway, MAGAs. Send Trump your money for his legal bills. Billionaires gotta eat too.

    Was Eric conceived to be the one Trump throws under the bus for all his crimes. What else was he good for?

    I hate to stomp on a guy when he’s down when there’s a Greyhound double-decker coming his way.

    • If none of the bankers who were responsible for the collapse in 2008 went to jail, good luck getting the Orange Man behind bars.

  29. Those behind this campaign simply cannot accept that a first generation Latin American from humble beginnings could rise to be a U.S. senator.

  30. Think of the millions, maybe billions of dollars that were spent getting this batch of House republicans elected.

    And, for what? Hunter’s laptop?

    And, here’s the bad news. They’ll do it all again.

    • Mark who?

      I am surrounded by crooks and liars and people will think I have something to do with that.

      • The best one is Michael Cohen. Whenever you remember who he is you call him a liar…forgetting that he was your right hand for ten years and his only qualification was that he would tell any lie you told him to tell.

        • “Whenever YOU remember who he is you call him a liar”

          How cringe…
          Here we have Tim thinking he’s actually engaging in a conversation with trump…

          Good lord, lol

          • Can’t deal with the substance, eh Tweedledumb? Or is it Tweedledumber?

            Bottom line, Trump’s lawyers are trying to discredit Michael Cohen for the same lack of truthfulness that was his primary value as a Trump employee. Trump prizes “you will loyally tell whatever lies I need told and participate in whatever crimes benefit me,” and then turns around and tries to say “don’t listen to him, he’s a liar and a criminal.”

        • Now if we can only get people in Lancaster to start talking to the FBI about all the no bid contracts, insider deals, funny business, money changing. I doubt it will happen though. Wrecks and the Good Old Boys have so much dirt on folks, and use money to keep everyone silent. If one hangs, all will hang must be their motto.

  32. Jenna Ellis, a Christian lady with a law degree got taken in by Trump.

    She just pleaded guilty and will testify against Trump. Tearfully, I might add.

    What chance in heck do you AV MAGAs have?

    Donot reply to this message/.

  33. The various mostly Democratic Attorney’s General, District Attorney and Special Prosecutors have been like Sting’s romantic life.

    They’ve been like molasses in January, AG Merrick Garland, and the others in New York, D.C. and Georgia. Come on, come on, already.

    But, they’ve been slowwwwly collecting evidence and testimony, carefully, diligently, legally, not anything like what Comer and Jordan do in the House.

    Well, today a 3rd Trump lawyer got immunity for testifying. “Immunity”? That sounds like a real good thing, doesn’t it? Not for Trump.

    A loonnnng climax is a-cummin’. BANG! x4. Rockets in the air. Fireworks. Niagara Falls, Mount Vesuvius. Trump’s head exploding and the contents hitting the fan.

    The question is, “Can you wear makeup in prison?”.

    • Makeup? Only after the conversion, after submitting many many times to the amorous cellmates and block bosses.

      Mascara, smoky eye, all there.

  34. Did “Queers for Palestine” ever consider that they would be thrown off of roofs and hung from cranes in Palestine? What a bunch of psychologically and emotionally disturbed ninnies, lol.

    • Palestinian voters have about as much sense as Lancaster voters. They keep voting in morons.

    • I’m running to be the Republican Speaker of the House.

      I flew a plane up in the sky.

      I have a Hispanic surname and that makes me a good GOP token.

      Oh, and I voted not to certify the 2020 election on Janurary 6.

      That will have to do.

  36. ANOTHER –

    REASON THE 2 STATE SOLUTION IS A BAD IDEA –

    THE MUSLIMS CAN ONLY BE TRUSTED TO DESTROY AND DEFILE SACRED CHRISTIAN SITES IN THE HOLY LAND UNDER THEIR CONTROL –

    THOSE WHO MIGHT WANT TO WALK WHERE JESUS WALKED –

  37. Well, we can see that Mike Garcia had little or no legislative experience running for office. He still doesn’t unless blindly doing what he’s told by the MAGA caucus is considered “experience”. Please, folks.

    I guess his airplane flight experience was only the instruction, “Nose up.” and Trump thanks him for it every time.

    We have to make sure he’s gone next year. He is useless like Steve Knight was useless. I’m not a fan of having a useless representative in Congress.

    • How much legislative experience did Katie Hill have? Christy Smith spent two years in California’s dysfunctional assembly, so she’s got that. Kipp Mueller likes to run for things, but after 20 years of having an ambulance chasing mayor in Lancaster, maybe we should find someone other than a lawyer to represent us. Surely there is some Democratic candidate out there.

      • Mike Garcia is proof that even very dumb and inexperienced people can hold public office, merely by telling their supporters what they want to hear, then blaming their failures on ‘the supermajority’ or the ‘deep state’ or some other unidentifiable “them” or “they” standing in the way.

        • Isn’t it odd that the biggest complainers are those in the welfare states that get more in federal funds than they send to DC?

          They don’t look to their MAGA governors and legislatures to handle their problems. Instead they blame the feds.

          The 2 senators per state plus gerrymandering and voter suppression has led to a nutty Christian exptremist, Mike Johnson, to be Speaker. And, the criminal Trump is the frontrunner in the next election.

          What could go wrong?

          The best part is watching the other candidates and their huge egos lose to Trump who they can’t say a bad word about. Serves them right.

  38. Rep. Byron Donald(R-FL) is running for Speaker as I write this. He was arrested and charged with marijuana possession(1997) and bribery(2000). He’s also an election denier like all but a couple running for the job.

    Of course, this is perfectly fine with Trump MAGA voters. Their guy Trump has 4 indictments and likely more coming.

    There is no bottom to the republican barrel, is there?

  39. Obama came out with a lengthy statement slamming Israel for defending itself. Hussein Obama (really Osama) hates Jews and White people as does BLM, ANTIFA and half the DemocRATic party. How can any Jew or American patriot vote for leftist, socialist, pro-Palestinian, anti-Semitic, anti-American traitors like the DemocRATs?

    • How exactly is slaughtering random Palestinians “Israel defending itself”? HAMAS definitely miscalculated, in that they thought they were calling Israel’s bluff when Israel said “if you strike us we will slaughter the Palestinians we have held hostage in Gaza wholesale.” It was no bluff, and anyone that underestimated the Israelis willingness to shed blood is a fool…but anyone that thinks that slaughter is something we should ignore is a barbarian.

      • HAMAS “definitely miscalculated”? Are you serious Tim? That was a VERY calculated TERRORIST ATTACK ON CIVILIANS. HAMAS is a terrorist group that needs to be eradicated so the Palestinian people can have civil and sane leaders to help their people.

        Miscalculated? Tim, you are better than that.

        • The Palestinian people live in a prison camp where they are routinely “thinned out” by their Israeli captors. No “sane leaders” can accomplish anything for them. Hamas giving the Israelis an excuse for this year’s slaughterfest in Gaza doesn’t change the fact that based on the calendar Israel was likely to launch a Gaza slaughterfest this year anyway. They have every two-three years for the past couple decades.

          I’m not condoning Hamas killing Israelis, but I also don’t condone the routine slaughter of Palestinians that has been Israel’s unofficial policy for it’s entire existence.

      • It seems ACE was correct. You love Hamas terrorists, criminals, illegal immigrants, cop killers, BLM gangsters, Antifa communists, vile drag queens, seditious show trials of political opponents, fraudulent impeachments, and anything terrible that happens to our nation. You really do hate America, don’t you?

  41. That’s weird…

    Why hold back on your vice in this instance when you live out all your other vices in full?

  42. You should marry her so she can claim spousal privilege. She seems really desperate to get out of testifying.

    I guess maybe not desperate enough to marry a spray tanned lard bag though.

  43. The deficit has essentially doubled in just one year. That’s very alarming, but the fact that the deficit grew so much during a time of economic growth is an even more serious warning sign for our nation’s future.

    We are seeing in real time the painful combination of rising debt, inflation and interest costs, all leading to even more debt. Interest costs rose almost 40% last year, and soon we’ll spend more on interest than we do on national defense.

    Piling on so much debt is unfair to the next generation, and it harms our economy, makes us vulnerable to crises, and diminishes our global leadership. We must avoid a government shutdown, but lawmakers should move beyond short-term political fights to focus on the significant threats to our future posed by our growing debt.

    Large majorities of voters want Congress to focus more on this serious challenge, and support the creation of a bipartisan fiscal commission to recommend solutions. A commission would enable lawmakers to evaluate comprehensive spending and revenue options that can put us on a much stronger path for the nation’s future.

    • Blah Blah Blah…uh, if the deficit is in dollars that are experiencing inflation then the ‘debt’ is effectively being reduced by the effect of the ongoing inflation. With each passing day, the debt is a smaller portion of the inflated dollars paying it. BTW this also help inflate away debts we owe to other nations and foreign investors.

      Who wouldn’t want to have borrowed at 2% in 2022 when they are paying for that 2% note with dollars that are inflated by 8% or more? This is especially impactful when salaries are escalating, like right now. Don’t worry, the next generation is already getting a good package.

      Young people today make in a day what it took me to make in a week when I was their age…FWIW, my father had the same experience with me and it shocked him so bad he resisted my participation in the economy.

      You should consider yourself lucky you live in a nation that the rest of the world keeps investing in…that can borrow and continue internal investment to help us help the rest of the world.

    • “Large majorities of voters want Congress to focus more on this serious challenge”

      Sure.

      If they did, and if their Congressional majority decided to just do everything it could to muck up the works, taking weeks off at a time, and actively seeking chaotic disarray up to and including seizing up the government itself, and even supporting a dissolution of the peaceful exchange of power, or the delay of such transfer, would those “Large majorities of voters want Congress to focus more on this serious challenge” really have any say anyway?

      THAT is the greater issue. We have allowed a small group of punks to effectively silence the voice of the people. Senators speak for the states, not the people. The President speaks for his party, generally. This looks like the end of a republic and the beginning of a loose federation of Balkanized states.

      There is common ground between the losers of the Cold War and the punks in Congress, and the punks gladly accept any help they can get, including from meddling foreign governments, like those Cold War Losers. No Collusion? Well, technically, no. But it IS like standing by while you watch a crime unfolds in front of you, because you will be able to pick over the spoils later once the perps have disappeared.

  44. Mike Garcia is the only decent politician that we in the AV get to vote for. Re-electing him will go a long way towards keeping the House. Vote Garcia because he’s patriotic, conservative, ethical and not corrupt and vile like all the DemocRAT swines and drag queens.

    VOTE FOR MIKE GARCIA IF YOU LOVE THIS COUNTRY!

    • The way Trump’s co-conspirators are flipping we have to be getting close to the day that names get attached to “just leave the rest to me and the congressional Rs.” We’ll find out then if Mike Garcia was an active conspirator or just a dupe, but either way he should be disqualified from congress.

        • LOL…how can anyone be so out of touch with reality? Not only has Trump been charged with conspiracy in two different jurisdictions, but two of his co-conspirators in the Georgia case have already plead guilty. Start paying attention.

      • In a rackteering criminal organization, goons like Mike are necessary.

        But in the end, they are also expendable.

    • Garcia will be gone after next year.

      He then can star in a remake of AVIÓN!

      The RNC can find another token.

      Garcia is our very own Hershel Walker-type, with lips glued to Trump’s derriere. Romance in low places.

      • Voting for the Republicans on the Lancaster City Council has destroyed our city. At least the Rex Republicans. There has to be some other Republicans or Democrats around here who can think for themselves and are not sold out to the meglomaniac.

        • Voting for House republicans like McCarthy and Garcia has given us a Congress that doesn’t work.

          And, to show just how insane they are, McCarthy blamed Democrats because he was given the heave ho and the same with Jim Jordan.

          The Democrats didn’t save the MAGA republicans from themselves and they whine.

          The things the republicans say to justify their inablity to govern themselves shows how inept and incopetent they are.

          So, Earl, what they do in Lancaster is a smaller version of what they do or can’t do in D.C.

          The House of Representative is now run by the children and it shows.

  45. It’s 1987: This is your brain, this is your brain on drugs…. Any questions

    It’s 2023: You can’t afford the eggs, the gas stove is being outlawed, and the only thing that is plentiful and acceptable is the drugs.

  46. Republicans.

    They couldn’t supervise an ant farm.

    How many Republicans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
    All of them and it’s dark in the room where they meet.

    RIPGOP

    Too soon?

  47. State death rates due to COVID
    As you can see, Ron Desantis has a higher rate than California. So does Texas.

    Them red states sure know how to handle things. Can’t fix stupid.

        Where’s your data? You got your “opinion” from Fox Propaganda Channel, right?

        • There’s this thing on the internet called Google. I’m sure you use it to follow the morons on MSNBC. You can try your pal Fauci’s page and there are many other government sites.

          Quit being a tool for the Jackazz party. Or any party for that matter. Use your brain. You have one.

        • Hey Fauci: Ever heard of the internet? There’s a thing called Google. In the search box, type “leading cause of death”. You’ll see your CDC page and a bunch of other government and medical websites with the data. Quit being a mindless shill for MSNBC. Use your brain and think for yourself.

  48. There’s a war in Ukraine.

    There’s a war in Gaza.

    Biden has travelled to both and is handling both.

    MEANWHILE, THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS INCLUDING OUR VERY OWN MCCARTHY AND GARCIA CAN’T CHANGE THEIR OWN DIAPERS.

  49. Trump’s co-conspirator/attorneys are starting to confess for plea deals. Any criminal plotting is not protected by attorney client privilege so once they confess to crimes they can and will have to testify to everything. Georgia just took a big jump in the race to convict Trump.

  50. I remember the first time I was in Israel with Golda Meir. It was right before the Six-Day War.

    • Poor Joe. We know he doesn’t know where he is now, but apparently he didn’t know where he was back then either. Must be those millions of miles on Amtrak. Choo choo! Koo Koo!

    • Of course the they thems would like to see our lord and savior Trump in prison. Trump will save us all from Satan, Communists and the Demorat party.

  52. I join you on this solemn day to renew our sacred vow: never forget. Never forget. We never forget. Each of us – each of those precious lives stolen too soon when evil attacked. Ground Zero in New York – I remember standing there the next day, and looking at the building. And I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell, it looked so devastating because of the way – from where you could stand.

  53. The Republican Party needs to be given the “Old Yeller” treatment.

    4 indictments/91 criminal charges await their frontrunner.

    The republican Speakers of the last 50 years have been failures.

    The Supreme Court has 2 or 3 corrupt justices on the right.

    The only thing more hopeless than the Republican Party is the group of voters who, knowing all the above, still vote for them anyway.

    They hate America and vote to harm it.

    • “Old yeller”

      Quoting and referencing 30+ year old movies and such is the tall tale calling sign of William the womanless and childless boomer loser.

      Oh NM, you’ve already reached into the well for that one many times.

  54. This morning, Rep. Mike Garcia(Magat) voted for Jim Jordan for Speaker.

    This should lose him the election next year. He is the worst congressman we’ve ever had in the Antelope Valley. He votes just like Margjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. If they had run, they would get the same votes as Garcia thanks to AV MAGAT voters.

    • Not a fan of Jim Jordan. Mike Garcia, though, has my vote. I like the fact that he doesn’t have an iron cross tattooed near his crotch.

      • Garcia is another TRAITOR. T-R-A-I-T-O-R.

        You must be one too.

        On 1/6 he voted to throw the election to the House which would overturn it.
        (You would have been okay if that happend, TRAITOR.)

        He then voted NO to an investigation of 1/6.

        He voted NO on the second impeachment for the coup. What more evidence do you need that Mike Garcia is a TRAITOR? Of course, you’re blind.

        Pay attention instead ol whatever else it is you doo doo.

        He votes just like Marjorie Taylor Greene. Heck, you’d vote for her too.

        His public speeches look like hostage tapes.

        He was a pilot and that hasn’t done him any good in Congress. He should go fly a kite and take you with him during a thunderstorm.

        Garcia has T R A I T O R tattoed on his forehead. So, there’s that.

        • Yeah, but he’s OUR traitor.

          He slides up next to me and Marge all the time.

          He is helping us turn Congress into a stillborn ineffective body.

          We will soon fulfill our destiny: silencing the only voice the people have in our government.

          What an effective little follower he is, such a nice well behaved goon, an obedient, expendable troll.

          All is going according to plan.

        Now, go fulminate some more now that you’ve played your victim card.

        We here notice how you don’t cut anyone else any slack but for you it’s “I’m old and going blind yada, blah, blah.”. You’ve ciriticized almost everyone on earth.

  57. Fox news and MAGATS are always talking about crime.

    9 South Dakota 501.4 Gov. Krisit Noem(R) Need we say more.
    10 Michigan 478.0 Where MAGATS planned to kidnap the governor and worse

    Golly, gee. Where are we?

    17 California 442.0 Where a bearded clam mayor runs the city like a small town “boss”.
    How many movies have you seen with that character? It’s real.

    From the FBI Uniform Crime Report 2020

    MAGATS and republicans talk a big game but they lie.

    But, the important thing is, how did super MAGA South Carolina get 2, count them, 2 “bachelor”?? senators? Apprently, MAGATS can’t see what’s in front of them. If either of them were ever to become president, they won’t need a “First Lady”.

    • Now do the rest of the research. Break down each red state by city and see where the bulk of the crime occurs in each state.

      Here’s a cheat sheet for you: It is all the large metropolitan Blue cities controlled by Democrats that drive the crime rates up in those states. If you take those cities out of the equation, those red states would become the lowest crime rate states in the nation.

      • No, Mike. You do the research you suggested.

        I did mine.

        Are you looking to work at Fox Lies with your reply?

        Your comment makes no sense.

      • “If you take those cities out of the equation, those red states would become the lowest crime rate states in the nation.”

        of course they would…the state would go from populations in the millions to population in the thousands, spread over vast territory. a wasteland of nopeople…much more than they already are

        the crime rate in the desert or forest is almost always nil, either because the vic is never found or the crime never reported.

        and remember, they are only red states because of the biasing effect of senatorial allocations. if you are right that dems run cities, where there are more people, then how on earth is their state a red state?

      • The bluest city in the bluest state has a map that tells you when people have defecated in public. Nuff said.

        • It also has the 4th largest economy in the world.

          Now, you know that means it is a substantial percentage of the US economy, which may not maintain ‘largest’ status for much longer if dopes like yourself keep pooping on it. As the US economy’s biggest contributor you’d think there would be a little more gratitude. Fat chance. Gratitude is long gone from the conservative nut bar culture they’ve adopted.

          Whatever you say, we’ll keep doo-doo-ing what we do. Maybe some day you’ll move to one of those red states and experience joy there, cut loose from the pain and anguish you suffer every time you think about California.

          Too bad you can’t figure out you are victimizing yourself, Winnie. California also provides lots of mental health help, and perhaps with that help you would find a happier living condition.

      • I’ll do the research Mike while you go around and correct all the lying and misinformation coming from Trump and the MAGAs.

        Get on it, Mike. There’s a lot for you to do.

    • Not one of those states has a poop map in its second largest city. Smash and grabs? Nope. Homeless encampments in all their major cities? Nothing compared to CA. We’ve got weather over all of them, that’s a fact.

      • Well, the do nothing nature of their conservative leadership, the powerlessness of their small populations, and little civic revenues would definitely add up to little or no public services. Maps are unlikely …as unlikely as anything there.

        Besides, if a bear poops in the woods, or the pope poops in the woods, or… nobody cares. You can literally crap in 90% of the territory of those states because you will not be seen.

        Their poop is their people. Maybe call them “poople”.

    • This sounds like Degenerate William. One thing is certain, crime his high in Commie fornia. I’m going to go cruise Sierra highway now and get a date. I have a good time planned, a little blow, some skank and a meal at Arco gas station, they have the best burrito and corn dog selection in the av. Toodles.

  58. Trump is so deranged, they named a syndrome after him. TDS.

    Recently, he was ranting about running against Obama in 2016.

    He was accusing Biden of starting WW2.

    He’s all over the place ragarding Israel now much to the angst of the republicans. His patheiic, gonadless, rivals for the nomination are using it against him.

    But, not to worry. It will get worse. Count on it.

    It’s called UNTREATED MENTAL ILLNESS (UMI) and there are millions of MAGATs who suffer from it too.

    See ACE.

    BTW. Go look at the animatronic Trump at Disneyland. They were expecting Hillary to win, so months before, they made a Hillary version. When Trump won, they did some ‘work’ on the Hillary version and it’s not quite Trump. It’s a weird mixture. It would have been weird if they did his from scratch though.

    There is nothing, NOTHING about Trump that looks good, makes sense or is worth keeping out of prison.

  63. TEXAS Bar Sues Church

    In a small Texas town (Mt. Vernon), Drummond’s Bar began construction on a new building to increase their business. The local Baptist church started a campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayers.

    Work progressed right up till the week before opening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground. The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, until the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the church was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either through direct or indirect actions or means. The church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the building’s demise in its reply to the court.

    As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork. At the hearing he commented, “I don’t know how I’m going to decide this case. It appears that we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that does not.”

      • Several Republicans are as corrupt as the corrupt Democrats. Willy, take off your jakasz donkey glasses and realize your party is as corrupt as any. The problem with you and your other blue morons is you don’t see the flaws in your candidates. You are pathetic.

        • So, Obama wore a tan suit.

          Biden stutters.

          31 Democrats want Menendez to resign but no republicans.

          Trump has 4 indictments, 91 criminal charges.

          There is a difference between the parties. Dozens of former republicans have left and are harsher on Trump and the MAGAT republicans than the Democrats are.

  69. A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He lowered his altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. He shouted to him:

    “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”

    The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude, and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

    He rolled his eyes and said, “You must be a Democrat.

    “I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”

    “Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”

    The man smiled and responded, “You must be a Republican.”

    “I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?”

    “Well,” said the man laughing, “you don’t know where you are — or where you are going. You’ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it’s my fault.”

  71. Most victims of rattlesnake bites are men between the ages of 18 and 35 who have been drinking.

    In other words, a MAGA Trump voter.

    • You might be right, cause most folks bitten by rattlesnakes aren’t those in Jammie’s living in their moms basement waiting for their next handout, or fleeced with pink or blue hair and a nose ring blaming everybody else around them for their failures.

      Most folks bitten by rattlesnakes actually marry and don’t consider their significant other a ‘life partner’ and thankfully procreate and don’t consider a gaggle of huskys ‘children’

      If that’s your definition of MAGA, I’ll take it along with a rattlesnake bite. As I explore this beautiful earth we call home

      • “blaming everybody else around them for their failures”

      • Rats also procreate, Beecee. Their anatomy and behavior is similar to humans and that’s why they are used in biology labs.

        Maybe they should just use you with your narrow focus on your tired old loins. And you certainly are “ratlike”.

        You probably complain about the world being too crowded too and yet you’ve added to the problem as did your foolish parents.

        With your mindless devotion to the Trump character, you’ve created a horrible future for your offspring. Crocodile mothers are more nurturing than you.

        It’s truly remarkable that you, Beecee, would defend for the stupidity of drunks handling rattlesnakes and getting bitten.

        Remember, Trump was the Snake who told you “You knew I was a snake when you took me in.” And you took him in.

        Trump, the Snake, bit you over and over and yet here you are full of venom and loving it.

        Lesson not learned.

        Bottom line still holds. MAGAts are as stupid as drunk men handling rattlenakes. You just proved it.

  76. I hear Trump wants to be Speaker of the Big House.

    In other news,
    “The Republican National Committee should immediately cancel the upcoming debate in Miami and end all future debates in order to refocus its manpower and money on preventing Democrats’ efforts to steal the 2024 election.”-Sean Hannity

  77. During a weekly call, Frank Biden, 69 years old, would frequently interrupt the meeting and say he had to take a call from “the Big Guy,” as he put it. The then-vice president’s brother would say: “I’ve got to put you on hold, the Big Guy is calling me.”

  78. Hey Nadine,
    Can I hit you up for a couple of those gold bars? I don’t think Bobby is using them and my legal bills are around $10 mill. I can set you up with some blow or whatever. TY

  79. Halloween is coming.

    Can’t wait to see the pumpkins carved like Trump’s mug shot.

    They’ll look even better after a few weeks sitting in sun.

  81. My Trump Tower apartment is 30,000 sq. ft and I weigh 215 lbs.

    Or is it the other way around?

    Hey, I ruined Kevin. Don’t I get any credit for that?

    Who’s next?

  82. Here doggie, doggie. Here Commander. Good doggie…good do OOOWWWWWCHHHH! Dam you got sharp teeth!

  83. Feinstein, a public servant for decades, had a net worth of $69.4 million when she died. George and Sharon Runner, two local public servants, had a lakefront home at Lake Tahoe worth millions.

    There are dozens more who have enriched themselves as so call public servants.

    Yet the voters keep sending them back so they can enrich themselves even more.

  84. I wonder who Trump will give the Kiss of Death to be the next Speaker of the House.

    You know it’s coming. There are so many possibilities.

  85. Their far and away leading candidate has 4 indictments and 91 criminal charges.
    Trump has gag orders from 2 judges. They’re gagging the wrong end. He talks out his behind so they should shove something there to shut him up.

    Trump thinks Gen. Mark Milley to be execuated for treason and windmills are killing whales.

    The 7 Dwarfs’ (republican candidates) debates are “crosstalkcrotalksstalkcross” disasters. Now Trump wants the rest of the debates cancelled and Fox’s ratings for the second one were awful. Goodbye Ron, Vivake, Mike, Nikki, Chris, Tim and Doug. Your reunions should be fun. There are some great video clips of you folks looking like a game show for stoners. Call it “THE BIGGEST LOSERS”.

    They got rid of their short-lived Speaker McCarthy for being such a liar. First time ever. He won’t run again. GOOD!!! Maybe Rep. Jeffries can be the Adult Speaker of the House. The MAGAS in the House didn’t like Kevin’s lying. Really?

    At least 2 of the conservative Supreme Court justices are corrupting the Court.

    Their Hunter Biden investigations trying to find something on President Biden keep coming up empty. Witnesses disappear. Other witnesses actually debunked what Comer is trying to prove.

    Their hopes for the Durham investigations were a bust with a minor conviction of someone we never heard of.

    How are we doing so far, MAGAs?

    They don’t want to discuss abortion since the Supremes made that a poison pill for the republicans.

    THEY HAVE NO AGENDA unless Hunter is THE agenda.

    What is so precious besides republicans blaming Democrats for vacating the speakership, is the micro-brain MAGAs here that want to make a big deal out of what? Obama’s tan suit. Oh, wait. That’s an old one.

    Menendez got 31 Democrats telling him to go but no republicans. They like that kind of behavior. They defend Trump for doing it like it’s nothing.

    You didn’t need a fortune teller to predict most of all that. I did it from watching MSNBC. It has smart and experienced guests, prosecutors, attorneys, law school professors and former Republicans. They deal with facts not conspiracies.

    It’s so much easier dealing with facts. On Fox, right now, they are trying to blame the Democrats for McCarthy’s exit. By tomorrow, Fox will be sure it’s the Democrats fault, because they keep repeating it.

    Who here didn’t know that after Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi, that Kevin would be a failure? It’s in the script.

    • Wait till they investigate Biden’s family who cashed in on “The Big Guy.” Between Hunter’s crack and whores, and business dealings, the Biden family makes the Gambino’s look like boy scouts. Did Joe crap his pants today, trip down the stairs or is he still at some podium wondering which way to turn? You have to admit that those handshakes of the thin air are priceless.

    • Sorry to break your heart Billy, but Hunter will be quite the agenda. Grab some popcorn and watch it unravel. Not even Corn Pop was as bad a dude.

      • Let’s spend the time when we are supposed to be legislating having an investigation into someone who has never run for elected office to show how they are not suitable for elected office…but still not as unfit as our own presidential nominee.

        Republican priorities.

        Here’s a thought…Hunter Biden as an alleged criminal is already being dealt with by the department of justice. How about governing, as you were elected to do.

        • Right Tim. There’s nothing political when the Dems investigate the Republicans, right? Give me a break. Go have tea with William and worship the donkeys. I’m sure you will justify the crap going on at the LA City Council. Bunch of crooked Democrats. Let’s hope no one pulls the fire alarm on you.

          • Is Hunter Biden a democrat? We could check his voter registration I suppose, but he has NEVER run for office. MAGAts are morons if they think anyone will buy the false equivalence of investigating Hunter Biden, private citizen, versus investigating Donald Trump, former president and lifelong head of a criminal enterprise.

          • Timmy, Timmy, Timmy. Has Hunter profited or benefited financially from his daddy in ways that are illegal and inappropriate? What about his brothers and other family members? Public servant my a$$.

  87. The party formerly known as the Pro-life* party aborted Kevin McCarthy today.

    He didn’t even finish his “term”.

    *The Rs want to change “pro-life” to something else since they don’t give a sheet about fetuses once born.

    And, this group wants to be our latex salesmen.

      • Don’t know if it’s true, but I read that the congressional republicans made Gaetz stand on the opposite side of the aisle with the democrats when he made his motion to vacate the chair. Word is that they are seriously considering banning him and the rest of his gang from caucus meetings. No point having him listen in on GOP strategy since he is not really one of them.

  88. The only thing more entertaining than watching Trump melt down in court would be to see Rex on trial and to watch him try to show the court that he’s the smartest person in the room. It would be awesome to them demolish his case and see him put away. Why is the FBI taking so long? Is no one talking? That’s understandable and his tentacles are deep in wide in this corrupt valley.

    • Does the FBI have a hotline where we can call in to tell them about the shenanigans of the Fern Street Mafia? Paris, Frankie V, Gilly, Runners, Marve, Vosee, Shepos, and the rest.

      • Given the outrageous no sentence to Tom Shepos, I would not go to the FBI. I read in an article awhile back that Fesia A. Davenport was asking for the public’s help in exposing corruption. Anyone with information should contact her!

        • Don’t tell us that Rex has the FBI in his back pocket too? It’s obvious he owns every judge, elected official, agency and the Lancaster station, but the FBI as well? Can we trust Fesia A. Davenport? There is so much stuff available online about the McMahon building, LEAPS, Ecolution, Walmart, Chinese birth tourism, Kensington, AVTA, Raymond Lee Jennings, the mysterious death of James Biddle, etc. If any reporters are out there, Google is your friend. So is The Antelope Valley Times and Get Parris Out of Lancaster on Facebook.

  89. Best outcome if McCarthy is removed is for the Democrats to find half a dozen moderate Republicans to vote with them to make Minority Leader Jeffries speaker.

    There are a handful of republican reps in districts Biden won and they might be amenable. What would the Rs do about that, primary them? Whichever Trump minion would run against them wouldn’t win against a Democrat given all the nonsense that has happened so far.

    • But they would get primaried, which is why they will never go along with it. The democrats should announce that the US Congress has more important things to do than let a clown like Gaetz condemn them to a pointless debacle of watching the GOP fail to elect a speaker over and over and over until some looming emergency forces them to just put McCarthy back in the chair, and vote against the motion to vacate.

      Then leak that McCarthy made a ‘secret deal’ with the democrats. Give him something to have to deal with in his own primary next year.

    • Don’t you worry, Mr. William. A couple a more tugs on that fire alarm handle and we’ll be rid of McCarthy for good.

      • Is that all ya gots, kid?

        Trump is in court right now losing his businesses and also may go to prison for any number of the 91 criminal charges.

        You kids.

        • Nah, Billy. We got pretty much the entire all Dem LA City Council, Menendez, Hunter, Melahat Rafiei, Imran Awan, ,Ed Pawlowski, Vaughn Spencer, Chaka Fattah, Fred Plump, David Burkette, Tracey Bennett, Micheal DiMassa, Kathy McGuinness, J. Kalani English, Ty Cullen, Antonio Brown, Luis Arroyo, Tom Cullertton, Eddie Acevedo, Terry Link, Martin Sandoval, Patrick Daley Thompson, and so many more. Don’t forget Palmdale’s own Rex backed Alacarn who is corrupt as her father.

          Political corruption is truly bipartisan.

        • Just because you’re dumb, Jennifer, doesn’t mean you’re ugly too.

          But, it helps.

    • Democrats need to light a fire in the path of the oncoming (R) blaze. They’ve been trying to scrape a control line with every new outbreak but its not working…the (R) fire keeps jumping the line.
      What could that fire be?
      Keep the speakership in suspense for as long as possible, not showing up to vote, obstructing whichever way possible, even in the face of a shutdown. Make it clear that the cause of raucous instability is (R) antics.

  91. In case you missed it, this needed a replay. The Arizona reference is so Trump. Recently, the mentally ill Trump said windmills are klling whales, Gen. Mark Milley deserves to be executed for treason, all the prosecutors are deranged, Iraq was on Jeb’s watch, he beat Obama in 2016 and he’s innocent. All lies.

    This was a post today on the Fox website where the crazies Meet to Bleat.

    This was just to yank their chains.

    If Donald Trump had flown to Hawaii instead…

    “Hi everyone, it’s your favorite president! It’s so nice to be here in Laguna. Is that barbecue I smell? Some of you might be thirsty so I had some palettes of water flown in. Trump Water. Big water. Really yuuuge water. And, at a special disaster price of just $9 per bottle. If you buy a case I’ll throw in a free red hat made in China. I’m going to build a great wall here… and Japan is going to pay for it! Mark my words, yessir. Can’t let them get away with all that bombing stuff they did, eh? And the USS Arizona, right? You know, I really won Arizona. They robbed me by cheating. And… you know… this fire wouldn’t have happened if I were still president. That’s right. I can stop fires from happening. I know more about fires than just about anybody. Now, if you don’t mind, I have a golf game at the next town over that isn’t flattened by a fire. As they say in Hawaii…. Adios!”
    ——————————————–

    Remember when anyone mentions Biden’s age, Trump is seriously mentally ill. He’s running out of handlers and is doing it himself now with the expected results.

    • comoniwannafluffya, those homeless weeners on av.i&sierra hwy in the field won’t suck themselves,get back to work

    • trump is a contemporary of President Biden. They are like the same age group. Yes trump has mental illness and has very little grasp of American history.

  92. If you’re looking for a sweet deal on gold bricks, I can hook you up real good. Reach out to me through Bobby and I’ll meet you at your local IHOP.

    • Speaking of “gold”. Trump’s gold-plated Trump Tower might be liquidated as disgorgement from his fraud conviction.

      In fact, the whole Trump fraud ring including the kids, is banned from operating in New York STATE.

      If only Trump was also banned from operating in Washington D.C. Cue the 14th Amendment, Section 3.

      • Maybe Trump can share a cell with that POS Melendez. They can talk about their trophy wives and grift. Trump did his in the private sector and Melendez did his in the public sector. What a combo. Wait until Hunter joins them, along with Biden’s brothers who made bank off The Big Guy.

        • Trump has a trophy wife?
          Menendez, maybe, but Trump?
          Wait, did you mean one of the ex-wives.
          Marla Maples was kinda hot.

    • I
      All these fk democrats that are brain dead on here
      You people are just fucking stupid and can’t think for yourselves
      And you’re still probably running around with a [removed] mask on city game your car

  93. Hypothecially speaking, could you use gold bars you were given from a friend in Egypt to pay for your legal defense if needed?

  94. Two of the great artists of our time representing ground-breaking legacy of hip hop in America, LL Jay Cool J, uhhh…By the way that boy – that man’s got biceps bigger than my thighs.

    • And, after the 7 Dwarfs completed their second republican “debate” at the Reagan Library, they all got back into the teeny, tiny car they arrived in.

      Best line of the evening goes to Nikki Haley to Vivake Ramadamadingdong.

      “Every time I hear you I feel like I’m a little bit dumber from what you say.”.

      At MSNBC following the circus, they laughed their a$$es off at the crazy republicans, each one worse than the next.

      At Fox, they are pretending it was great. They lie.

      • And I make 5. Have you ever seen all of us on a biccycle built for 5?

        I love talkng about stuff that’s over the heads of some people. They belong at the kids’ table anyway.

        Do you remember where you were when Armstrong landed on the moon? Some people here don’t and therefore think it didn’t happen. They know who they are and that’s about all they know.

  96. A judge on Tuesday ruled that former President Donald Trump and his company are liable for fraud in a lawsuit by the New York Attorney General’s Office.

    The judge ordered that within 10 days, the defendants must recommend no more than three potential independent receivers to manage the dissolution of the corporations which the judge has canceled business certificates for.

    DON’T DO THE CRIME IF YOU CAN’T DO THE TIME. Too bad this was a civil case but a costly one. Bye bye Trump LLC.

    Dissolution? That doesn’t sound good. However, it’s the 3rd Law of Thermodynamics. Trump himself is undergoing the same thing. Look at him. He’s decomposing before our eyes but won’t be recycled.

    In other news.

    President Obama once wore a tan suit.

    President Biden has stuttered all his life.

    Hunter Biden isn’t running for office.

    Who voted for that guy, Trump? Confess. It’s good for the soul.

    • A New York judge…

      Stemming from a case that was brought up by leticia James, a far left prosecutor who ran on prosecuting Donald Trump in an area where 9 out of 10 voted for democrats…

      Nice try commie

      It’s called self admitted political prosecution.

      • Wither you respect the rule of law, upon which civil societies are built, or you don’t. Given that you claim to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of civil society you should be supporting the rule of law, just out of self interest, but apparently you are too stupid.

        • Poor Beecee doesn’t know the diff between a “judge” and the prosecutor, James.

          The judge made the ruling not the the prosecutor.

          Beecee needs adult supervision just to post here and it ain’t workin’.

          No wonder she doesn’t use her real name. It would be so embarrassing if people who know her knew what foolish things she says here.

          Actually, if they do know her, they already know she is a foolish, immature high school dropout.

          Don’t worry. She can’t read this far.

    • It would be a good idea when this circus is over to audit those 3 receiverships, those type of law firms seem to gobble up any financial liability to the taxpayers, wether it’s a crooked attorney or real estate fraud somehow there’s never anything left for the plaintiff ie; the small guys.

      • What they learn will cause immediate remediation of the loopholes that the criminal enterprise exploited, and automation will be crafted to scour their existing records for other likely cheats. Then, an estimate of what that is potentially worth pursuing will be made, and a line drawn wher the probability of success in collection meets or exceeds the cost to colect.

        Can you hear the “Bonanza” theme playing right now?

        • I think I hear the Dragnet theme.

          Of course, when he asks, “Just the facts.” there really are ‘facts’ unlike the House investigations of Biden and the election fraud lies.

          • The only thing I hear is Taps, it doesn’t matter blue or red, red or blue corruption seems to infect all levels of government while tones rip us apart. I’m confident in the future we will look back in embarrassment as we all end up in shackles.

          • Yeah.
            Let us younger folks solve this mess.
            We have lots of spectacular ideas and abilities and are willing to work hard and sacrifice to make them happen.

  97. Governor of the Great State of California, Gavin Newsome will debate Gov. Ron Desantis of the Swamp on Sean Hannity’s Show on November 30.

    That is if Ron is still in the race. He’s in free-fall because the more they see him nobody likes him. If he’s still in the race Gavin will give him the coup de grace.

    They should do the debate outside on a windy day, so their hair gets messed up. That way we can decide who won.

  99. “If you can get your a$$ to a Trump rally, you mean you didn’t have the grades to get into a tractor pull?”

  100. I like Egypt. They have cool stuff like the pyramids and the Sphinx. They have lots of gold bars, too.

    • What is it with these guys?

      Menendez already got acquited for something and didn’t learn his lesson. Good riddance.

      Trump will never learn his lessons. He needed a gag orfer from a judge to shut him up. He will violate it and hopefully gets some time in the clink*.

      Then, all his cult members will rend their garments in public. That means you Beecee and Sonya.

      *When actor Robert Mitchum was jailed for marijuana possession back in the olden times, he was asked how it was in jail.

      Mitchum, “It was like Palm Springs without the riff raff.”.

      I suspect that when Trump does do some time in the slammer, he will be around a better class of people than his family, his lawyers without licenses, (is that like doctors without borders?), his good buddies who are now testifying agin him and other cult members.

      That might be a “Come to Jesus” moment for Donald. Or, a “Come to Peckerwood” moment. Trump is a big, bad dude, right?

  101. All of Biden’s accomplishments SO FAR

    •Signed The Inflation Reduction Act

  102. C’mon man! What’s the harm in a little trip to Paris, free rides on a private jet for political favors, gold, cash and a luxury vehicle. Lighten up!

    • Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we
      are. They are different.

    • That’s nuttin’ compared to Clarence Thomas. The republicans always, and I mean ALWAYS, lead in CORRRUPTION. It’s their ‘strong suit’.

        • Let me guess, you only follow ‘news sources’ that have completely ignored the deluge of scandals that Clarence Thomas has been involved in.

        • @mealso
          This was from a few years ago and Trump & Co. have added many more indictments and convictions.

          I thought it would be good to school you with some history so you don’t remain ignorant. You can thank me later.
          —————————————————————————————–

          Since 1968, Democrats holding the White House for 20 years have had 3 criminal indictments, 1 conviction and 1 prison sentence.

          Republicans in their 28 White House years have had
          120 criminal indictments,
          89 convictions and
          34 prison sentences.
          With Trump we’re still counting.

          Every Republican president since Teddy Roosevelt has had a recession in his first term.

          GDP since Truman averaged 4.35% under Democratic presidents and fell to a 2.54% average under Republicans. So much for Republican claims to be better for the economy. The “Party of Lincoln” became the “Party of Edsel”.

          Now, tell us which party has corruption as its main FEATURE. The republicans are soaking in it right now.

          Is it the heat, the dry air, the lack of rainfall, or what that makes some people in the Antelope Valley so ignorant? Is it like this everwhere?

          Maybe mealso can tell us as he/she has a direct experience of it.

          • William is Right. Trump is facing 91 charges across four criminal cases, so far, including 13 raps for attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia alone. I still reel in shock that after an anti American act such as trying to overturn the presidential election, that so many Americans still support him.

            That nationwide suicide jump is the result of an amazing job of propaganda and brainwashing since Fox News showed up in 1996, paving the way for now dozens of news sites that have mesmerized millions and created the misinformed population we have in USA today.

            I honestly feel bad for all the MAGA believers because sooner or later they are going to snap out of it and realize the damage they are doing to the USA. If they really are patriots, they are going to feel very guilty when they wake up. Enemies have attacked USA using disinformation as a weapon, and they’ve won, by getting MAGAs to do their dirty work.

            I look forward to finding out who was behind this information warfare coup. My theory is, USA engaged in at least 3 wars illegally, causing great hardship to other nations and now we are being attacked back. And my neighbors who support Donald Trump are aiding and abetting the enemy, convinced by decades of disinformation drumbeat into their heads into believing their anti-American activities, such as on Jan 6 2021, are the acts of patriots.

            Gotta hand it to Vladimir P, he knows how to conduct an espionage operation, and this takeover of the minds of Americans will live in military history, both for its originality and its success. Meanwhile, MAGAts, please Snap Out Of It, and maybe we can stop this coup that is DESTROYING the United States before it’s too late.

          • ‘Sunshine’ must be William in drag double posting in response to his own post to give the looks of some sort of validation.

          • @Clapping Seals aka Beecee the Breeder

            Are you pretending to be stupid, Beecee? Yes or No.

            You usually write “lame”, “weak”, “nerd”, etc. showing off your vocabulary.

            I don’t know who Sunshine is but I’m sure Sunshine is way smarter than you are. Everyone is. It wasn’t a tough call.

            You are such a loser, Beecee. You are on the side with the crazies like Lauren Boebert. Do you do that to your hubby when you’re at the movies?

            You can’t read well.

            Your writings are at a 4th grade level full of acronyms and nonsense. Did you finish high school?

            You just play the same notes over and over, cats, marriage, cats. Cats are cleaner than you are and that’s why you hate them.

            Your guy Trump is going to prison but you like to distract by saying “Look over there.”. There is nohwere else to look but the many courthouses that will host Trump and his incompetent lawyers who must ask for their money upfront.

            How much money have you sent Trump, Beecee?

      • The Democrats are way ahead in corruption in Los Angeles. Their city council may have even surpassed Wrecks & Company. Well, not really, but close.

        • What? No response from Do Better.

          I guess that means she agrees with my reply to her and has nothing to dispute it.

          Well, done Me. I Did Better. You Didn’t.

        • @Dirty Dems

          Did you vote for Trump and Garcia or McCarthy?

          If so, didn’t your mommy teach you not point fingers at others when you have a much worse thing going on?

    • the (R) designation should stand for ‘Rapist”.
      (R) means the bearer tolerates the rape of any and all places. people, things and values that are not bound by specific legal tort or statute.

      (R) no longer knows the difference between right and wrong.

        • @Be Better
          Did Trump do it? He was called off by the people around him. This wasn’t Democratic propaganda. It is from Miles Taylor who worked in the Trump administration and wrote “A WARNING” under Anonymous.

          Trump was constantly corralled by his staff, Chiefs of Staff, generals, Department Secretaries and others for 4 years to keep him in check. That includes VP Pence who didn’t comply with his demand that he turn the election results back to the states.

          Miles Taylor is a former chief of staff of the US Department of Homeland Security. And, you are what….?

          Trump was “unhinged” at times according to the people around him. Pay attention. Every book written by his close advisors says the same thing.

          Are you clueless. Whenever someone says that others are in charge of Biden, remember how Trump had to be babysat by those around him. Ask General Milley. Biden has been around forever and doesn’t need a babysitter like Trump did.

          So, Be Better. Be smarter, much smart. Okay Beece? See my reply to “mealso” above.

          And, don’t forget, Beecee. All the witnesses against Trump in the 4 indictments are REPUBLICANS; and many were people Trump hired or appointed.

          Lose the Democratic propaganda stuff so you don’t look ignorant like you just did.

          What is it with you Trumpers? You believe his lies and dismiss the facts.

        • @Do Better said these were Democratic lies. I posted the “evidence” from Miles Taylor, a republican, who was there.

          Do Better aka Beecee, Beeeeeceee, Be, BS or whatever then disappears. She thinks when she disappears, we didn’t see what she wrote kinda like Trump’s DMs that Jack Smith got from Elon.

          Trump and Beecee. Both give pathetic a bad name.

          Beecee is simply dishonest here, there and everywhere. But, that’s her.

      • I have suffered alot and given all I can for this nation, and through it all – losing a leg and multiple heart attacks and strokes, I still sing for our leadership.

        Then, Trump says “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded.” about me. He says never to bring me out in public again.

        • Google “trump wanted to gut the VA” like I wrote above. It wasn’t a direct quote, however.

          Miles Taylor, who wrote the book The Warning under Anonymous wrote about that. He was in the Trump administration and saw a lot.

          So, no. I didn’t make that up. Trump did.

          Trump had to be “managed” constantly by his Chiefs of Staff, Secretaires of departments, generals, Ivanka, and others as he would be unhinged at times according to some of them.

          That isn’t news. Books by his former staff have been written about him and his irrational behavior and not by Democrats.

          In fact, the worst and most incriminating things said about Trump have been said or wirtten by Republicans.

          Democrats are the good guys in the White Hats who are working on governing the country while the MAGAs in the House of Representatives are in a circular firing squad getting nothing done. Even their fake investigations are a bust done by amateurs.

          I guess they want to impeach Hunter Biden. They are that stupid.

          Any other questions?

        • @Kevin R. Murphy.

          Below I told you where to find the information on Trump wanting to gut the VA. I thought Jared Kushner was in charge of that along with everything else.

          Then, there was VP Pence supposedly in charge of the COVID response. Does anyone recall that since he apparently did nothing?

          Are you going to acknowledge that you looked up what you requested or just disappear?

          As for Trump’s respect for veterans, “I like people who weren’t captured.”, Trump’s infamous quote about John McCain. He has said and done many things disrespectful of the military and veterans.

          Generals, Chiefs of Staff and various department Secretaries had to keep Trump from taking illegal or unconstitutional actions. He was constantly putting them in a bind. Maybe that why he wasn’t so appreciative of the military since he wanted them to be “his” military, “his” Attorney General, “his” federal government. And they wouldn’t comply.

          No, the name Trump wasn’t on the Pentagon, just his hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue that he used for grifting and violating the Emolument Clause. He sold the hotel after leaving office as foreign heads of state weren’t going to be renting rooms any longer. Everything he does is corrupt.

  103. If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s still a 30% chance we’re going to get it wrong.

    • the years Drumpf was president skewed these statistics. So many ‘certain’ things (think Mexico paying for border wall…) were in fact not at all certain.

  104. During an Independence Day speech in 2019, Trump said this showing his cogniive impairment.

    “The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware, and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do. And at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their Star Spangled Banner waved defiant.”

    LaGuardia has never been the same since. That was 4 years ago when Trump was only 73. He’s gotten worse. Do dementia prisoners get a special diet? Trump wants to know.

    In other news, “Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert once tweeted, “I’m a Christian. So they may try to drive me to my knees, but that’s where I’m the strongest.”. MAGA Girls Are Easy.

    • She was a S L U T in High School, and she has not changed.

      (R) means “…do as I say, not as I do…”

      Such a proud party.

      She’s def a ‘party girl’

    • On Trump’s worst day he has more mental capacity than Biden on his best day.
      And, no, I’m not a MAGA voter. Never have voted for him and never will.
      I won’t vote for a senile man either.
      I hope we have good choices in 2024.

      • You don’t count anyway. Right winger voters for prez in Californa might as well stay home. California goes Blue anway.

      • …its just too bad that the mentality creates it’s own reality, based in fantasy and speculation…that is, it is delusional.

        add to that a victim complex and the ‘mental capacity’ becomes what normal families would consider reasons for institutionalization, for treatment of mental illness.

    • Every time Biden opens his mouth he show his cognitive impairment. It’s so bad that he’s losing to Trump in the latest ABC/Washington Post poll. Watch for Brylcreem Newsom to be thrust forward. Great. Another useless candidate.

  105. Modern slavery, slave trade and slave auctions in ISLAMIC Libya TODAY…

  106. “He has none of the qualities you would want in a president and all of the qualities you wouldn’t.” – Mitt Romney

    Y’know, kids. I dunno why I bother to come up with my own take on Trump and the rest when the Republicans say it better than I could ever think of.

    I wish I could say it about Trump as well as Liz Cheney and Adam Kinsinger. And, they and Romney don’t mince words about their fellow republians who talk trash about him off the record but praise him dishonestly to appeal to Beecee, Sonya and the usual gang of Trumpers.

    Fox lies to them, and they eat it up.

    The republicans lie to them, and they eat it up.

    A recent CBS/YouGov poll showed
    “Yes, as far as Trump voters are concerned, 71% said they believe that what the Republican tells them is true. Meanwhile, 63% said the same thing about their friends and family members, 56% trust what they hear from conservative media figures, and 42% feel what religious leaders say is true.”

    Trump votesr believe Trump 71%
    Trump voters believe friends and family 63%
    Trump voters believe conservative media 56%
    Trump voters believe religious leaders 42%
    __________________________________

    If I were Beecee or Sonya, perish the thought, and saw those numbers, I’d take a deep look at what I’ve been reading, listening to, believing and repeating when those stats show that I’m in a large group of crazy people. Doesn’t matter how many agree with you, you’re still crazy.

    Her’s why> 75% of Russians in a Levada Center Poll approve of the military action in Ukraine. Putin lies to them and the polls show it works.

    Trump lies to his base and the polls show it works.

    I’d love to hear from a Trumper about this unless they are so far gone, they won’t reply or it will simply be an attack on me. Poor me. Like I’ve never had that happen.

    • Mitt Romney?
      Adam Kinsinger?
      Liz Cheney?

      Who are they? Never heard of em

    • It’s easy to believe in someone who tells you everything you want to hear, who never asks you to get your feet off the table or to help your kid with homework or to pay the bills, and who instead he will solve all those problems for you, if you will just get him in office and keep him there.

      Much harder to believe in people who depend on you, who live with you, who have regular responsible jobs they do (like journalism or news reporting), or who – perish the though – hold you to account for moral and ethical lapses.

  107. Good things happen when you’re able to increase your Asian population to a certain threshold: Crime rates go down, education levels go up. Interestingly, the same thing happens with the gays. That’s why I put the new performing arts center right downtown.

    • Beeeeeeece told us there would be a RED WAVE in 2022.

      She makes being wrong her life’s work. And she’s good at it.

      • Williams gae ass with his dorky station wagon also told us that the Russians interfered with the election.

        That trump should be impeached for….
        Bringing to light what you are all seeing now with the Biden crime family.

        And much more,

        Strike your cats and shut the hell up you single childless loser

    • If President Biden is the Democratic nominee, will you, Beecee, promise never to post here again?

      Put your money where your keyboard is.

      Otherwise, you’re just yapping as usual.

  109. I’ve focused on this my whole career, particularly for African American and Hispanic workers and veterans, you know, the workers without high school diplomas.

    • Thank you Robert.
      As you know, I was a high school dropout and found a career in politics only shortly after I finally got a GED, 16 years and literally half a lifetime after I dropped out.
      I guess I owe you.

  110. So it looks like our Laguna living mayor has his own police force. After his failed wars on gangs and Section 8, $10 million wasted on LEAPS, and birdie sounds, what could possibly go wrong?

  111. McCarthy bragged to Fox News’ Sean Hannity that “everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi Special Committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping.”

    McCarthy is doing the same thing with the Biden impeachment inquiry. Even if the House doesn’t vote to impeach (the Senate won’t convict), Comer, Jordan and the rest of the corrupt MAGAs will throw so much spaghetti at the wall anyway.

    The MAGA cult, guided expertly by Fox “news”, will believe all the lies and allegations like they typically do and an impeachment and/or conviction really isn’t necessary for them to do the damage they intend to do.

    They are so inept, they will both do the impeachment nonsense AND shut down the government. That was supposed to be the deal. Impeachment so MTG won’t shut down the government.

    McCarthy’s jewels are safely stored in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s jewelry box. Women rule the republican party. The men just try to stay a half step ahead or meet the same fate at Kevin.

    Still no one knows what the crime is that Joe Biden has done. There are a bunch of clips on Fox ‘news’ asking Comer that question and he can’t answer. The best he can do is to say that they’ll investigate till they find a crime.

    There are people reading this that voted for Kevin McCarthy. Haven’t heard any of them admit to voting for the lyingest liar in Washington now that Trump is gone. He deserves to be relieved of the gavel before the year is out. Go git him, Marge.

  112. Here we go again. After his War on Gangs failed, his War on Section 8 cost the taxpayers millions, his idiotic Eye in the Sky flopped after sucking $10 million dollars from the taxpayers, his bullying of people who opposed him, and and exploding crime rate, it’s not this: king rex’s own police force. This won’t end well.

    People, after nearly 20 years of failure why do you keep electing this bozo? He doesn’t live here and he doesn’t care about us. We are his ATM machine for him and his buddies.

    There’s an election coming up in April. Give king rex the boot back to Laguna.

    If Donald Trump had flown to Hawaii instead…

    “Hi everyone, it’s your favorite president! It’s so nice to be here in Laguna. Is that barbecue I smell? Some of you might be thirsty so I had some palettes of water flown in. Trump Water. Big water. Really yuuuge water. And, at a special disaster price of just $9 per bottle. If you buy a case I’ll throw in a free red hat made in China. I’m going to build a great wall here… and Japan is going to pay for it! Mark my words, yessir. Can’t let them get away with all that bombing stuff they did, eh? And the USS Arizona, right? You know, I really won Arizona. They robbed me by cheating. And… you know… this fire wouldn’t have happened if I were still president. That’s right. I can stop fires from happening. I know more about fires than just about anybody. Now, if you don’t mind, I have a golf game at the next town over that isn’t flattened by a fire. As they say in Hawaii…. Adios!”

  114. Today is the anniversary of 9/11.

    Osama bin Ladin brought us together on 9/11.

    Trump divided us on 1/6.

    On 9/11 Trump said the following.

    “Well, it was an amazing phone call,” Mr Trump told WWOR. “I mean, 40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan. And it was actually – before the World Trade Center – was the tallest. And then when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest, and now it’s the tallest.”

    “As multiple fact checks later pointed out, this was not true. The Wall Street building had not been the tallest building in lower Manhattan in the 1970s, when the Twin Towers were constructed, nor was it the tallest in the area after 2001.”

    Any questions about this guy? He lies when the truth would do.

    • Send me money, cult members. I got lawyer bills to pay.

      I’m a broke billionaire.

      And orange makeup ain’t cheap. either.

      • “I” don’t own anything.
        “I” am a recipient of finds from many sundry and varied schemes to produce income, but “I” am in fact not an employee, nor an investor, nor do “I” in any way actually show substantial income.

        “I” set up this enterprise in this way in order to avoid the problems that money brings to personal living, in the traditional style of trusts and shell companies, funding my lifestyle and the lifestyle of my family without the responsibility nor the necessity of managing the enterprise.

        “I” have hired people to do this for me, and they have not yet found successful ways to screw me out of the money and properties amassed through litigious re negotiations of property development contracts, always seeking to improve the property for more than the cost of the renovation or the initial development.

  116. HOW DO THE GODLESS – COMMUNISTS GET AWAY WITH PROCLAIMING OUR NATIONAL HOLIDAYS AS CALLS FOR SERVICE TO OTHERS ?

    MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY IS NOW CALLED A DAY FOR SERVICE TO OTHERS –

    IGNORING HOW WE SURRENDERED TO THE TALIBAN AND RAN FROM AFGHANISTAN AND LEFT THEM AS THE WINNERS –

    BY WATERING DOWN WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AND WHAT IT REALLY MEANS –

    GOING ON PRETENDING EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE AS LONG AS EVERYONE IS NICE AND HELPS THE COLLECTIVE –

    IGNORING WORLD RELIGIONS THEY ALSO REFUSE TO LEARN ABOUT –

    BECAUSE THEY HATE GOD, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR FLAG –

    AND ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO DESTROY IT AND ALL OF US WHO BELIEVE IN THE TRUTH –

    THEY HATE THEMSELVES AND WANT EVERYONE ELSE TO SHARE IN THEIR MISERY –

    • It’s just a pointless delay tactic. His criminal actions taken to usurp the office were taken as a candidate, not as a federal official. The court should reject this out of hand, as they have done with similar attempts by a couple of his co-conspirators.

  120. HERE’S WHAT REALLY GOING ON WITH TELLING PARENTS THEIR KIDS ARE ACTING GAY OR TRANS AT SCHOOL –

    AND WHY SOME OPPOSE IT SO STRONGLY –

    OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE LOADED WITH CHILD MOLESTERS OF BOTH GENDERS AND MIXED GENDERS –

    THEY ARE THERE TO SEEK OUT LIKELY GENDER CONFUSED KIDS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO ACT THAT WAY –

    SO THEY CAN GROOM THESE KIDS AND RECRUIT THEM AS YOUNG AND ATTRACTIVE SEXUAL PARTNERS –

    THE PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS WANT TO CONTROL AND REWARD SEXUAL MISBEHAVIOR IN SECRET –

    • I bet Robert L. Peters was impressed when Trump threw rolls of paper towels to the Puerto Ricans after their hurricane.

      He’s easily impressed.

      • At least idiot Trump used his real name when he tossed those rolls. And he didn’t fall down the stairs to boot.

        • Robert L. Peterson

          Unelected republican president Gerald Ford fell down on the steps of Air Force One. Even worse, he pardonned Nixon, a big f-ing mistake as we now know.

          W Bush choked on a pretzel and passed out.

          W also fell off a bike.

          Dick Cheney shot someone in the face.

          Bush Sr. barfed on the Prime Minister of Japan.

          Trump had toilet paper on his shoe climbing the steps of Air Force One which symbolizes his presidency.

          Trump & Co. spred COVID to several Secret Service agents and 50 people in and around the White House. Glad he didn’t have it painted “orange”.

          I’m not even gonna mention the 2 impeachments and 4 indictments of your Trump guy. Oops.

          Now, Robert. What were ya saying? You thought you were so clever. No. Not at all.

          • Ford was not senile. He played college sports. Joe had an imaginary Amtrak conductor friend.

            W. Bush had trouble speaking, but he never flubbed as many names or words as Sleepy Joe. Nor did he say “We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean.”

            W. may have fell off a bike, like Joe, but he was 10 times the athlete. And he didn’t have to lie about playing a football game against Ohio when he was a freshman. Freshman didn’t play.

            Bush Sr. went skydiving at 90. Biden will crap his pants at 90.

            Bush Sr. may have barfed on Japan’s prime minister, but unlike Joe he never asked paraplegic to stand up in front of an audience.

            Trump is a megalomaniac. Biden can’t say or spell that.

            Which of the presidents you mentioned used a fake name and had cocaine found in the White House? Which one of their sons will be doing prison time?

            Talk to me when you have a candidate that doesn’t shake hands with thin air or who wanders off a news cast looking like he’s lost.

            The cackler isn’t any better. You better hope RFK or Bernie get the nomination.

        • For Bee, the Antelope Valley Girl with long-term memory loss.

          “The voice is instantly familiar; the tone, confident, even cocky; the cadence, distinctly Trumpian. The man on the phone vigorously defending Donald Trump says he’s a media spokesman named John Miller, but then he says, “I’m sort of new here,” and “I’m somebody that he knows and I think somebody that he trusts and likes” and even “I’m going to do this a little, part time, and then, yeah, go on with my life.”

          A recording obtained by The Washington Post captures what New York reporters and editors who covered Trump’s early career experienced in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s: calls from Trump’s Manhattan office that resulted in conversations with “John Miller” or “John Barron”.

        • Beecee, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, knows all about stuff promoted on Fox, Newsmax, QAnon, etc.

          It’s her LIFE and she’s welcome to it.

          That’s why you’re our Antelope Valley Girl and Ankle Biter.

          Don’t you haven’t something stinky to doosh? The neighborhood dogs are barking for you.

  122. 2020 general election voting anomalies and vote update statistical ratio improbabilities tell the story:

    Michigan: 11/4 @ 6:31AM – Biden votes uploaded 141,258 Trump votes uploaded 5,968
    Michigan: 11/4 @ 3:30AM – Biden votes uploaded 54,497 Trump votes uploaded 4,718
    Wisconsin: 11/4 @ 4:42AM – Biden votes uploaded 143,379 Trump votes uploaded 25,163
    Georgia: 11/4 @ 1:34AM – Biden votes uploaded 136,155 Trump votes uploaded 29,115

    As we can see, four of the seven most anomalous vote updates — which is to say, updates in which the margin and ratio are co-extreme — are in election-critical states and occurred during the same five-hour period where the circumstances on the ground were (and remain) contested and highly suspicious.

    • Do you never get tired of pretending to be dumb? I mean, it seems like eventually self respect would kick in.

    • It should be no surprise that a cult would coordinate their submissions, or that rural red locales would naturally take longer to arrive.

      There may even be other reasons. To assume a single possible cause among many possible causes is an error of reason, a misattribution lacking analysis and reasoned assessment. (That means it is dumb, or maybe intentionally misleading)

      Be better.

    • @They’ll do it again.

      Well, oh, well. You need to quickly get your research to Rudy Giuliani so he can bring it to those 60 judges who threw his cases for lack of evidence.

      Boy, you’re really gonna be a hero for producing this new evidence. How did everyone else miss it and you discovered it? Amazing. You are really amazing.

      Remember. Rudy said they have a lot of “theories” but no “evidence’. You’ve got the evidence so now go for it. Have you notified Fox news yet? They’ll be happy to have this new information.

      Is everyone else here totally blown away by this new evidence like I am. After all this time, it took ‘They’ll do it again’ to have a breakthrough. What a genius.

      Let’s hear it for him or her.

      I anxiously await your response to this post. I’d like to meet such a smart person as yourself.

    • First of all, who uploaded these votes? Are you implying that somehow people had unfettered access to “uploading” votes? If so, do you have any proof? I’m sure the RNC would love to see it. Or does Pillow Man have the info and he just won’t share? Can you tell us which precincts were uploadad? It makes a huge difference. If they were from heavily democratic areas, the numbers would skew.

      President Trump will have the opportunity to show everyone the “evidence” during his trial. I look forward to any evidence that may actually be verifiable.

      • 4 responses is a win!

          • MSNBC, Fox, CNN have all had their share of controversies. When you rely on just one for your news, you miss what the others don’t cover. Fox ignores stories that favor the left, MSNBC ignores stories that favor the right. CNN has its share of liars. I do miss the days when I didn’t have to watch them all to try to discern fact from opinion. I have found

          • @ B. Williams

            You can’t tell the difference between Fox and MSNBC.

            That says more about you than about either cable channel.

            Your inablitlty to distinguish between 2 totally different things doesn’t make you smart. Au contraire.

            Are you able to distinguish between your “Mother” and your “Father”. They are both “Parents” after all.

            That is the level of your reasoning.

            Fox and MSNBC are both cable channels. They are the same.
            Coffee and drain cleaners are both liquids, B. Drink up.
            Drag Queens aren’t real women but maybe they are to you. They look similar.

            FALSE EQUIVILANCY. Look it up before you do it again.

            BTW I do tune in to Fox for a few minutes, but the lying and dishonesty make it unwatchable for long.

            Fox indulges attorneys who holler about “free speech” regarding Trump’s blather, but they should know that isn’t protected speech when committing a crime or engaging in a conspiracy. They do things like that constantly and Fox viewers think it’s true among other lies. Then, they repeat that stuff here , there and everywhere.

            MSNBC has trustworthy lawyers, prosecutors and law professors who aren’t lying all day every day like at Fox. See Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani.

            Fox is still doing it after the Dominion lawsuit but just not about a big company that can sue them.

            Tell us, B. How do you discern fact from opinion if you can’t tell the diff between Fox and MSNBC. You can’t be trusted to know the difference.

            More specifically, how do you, B. Williams, discern fact from fiction (lying) as done on Fox regularly? Do you go to MSNBC afterward to get the facts?

            Don’t forget. You dug this hole you’re in.

          • William, is MSNBC is your main source of news, there is no point discussing issues with you. Your mind is made up. Some of us have open eyes and minds. We see the slants of Fox and MSNBC. You probably think Biden is a good president. That’s as delusional of the Trumpists. Have a nice life.

          • Like I pointed out to you, B. Williams, you have shown that you can’t tell the difference between 2 dissimilar things.

            And, you think that’s a virtue.

            Not being able to tell the difference isn’t the definition of an “open mind” as you seem to think.

          • William, as I pointed out to you, and is obviously clear by your writings, you are incapable of reasonable dialogue as you have a closed mind. I watch MSNBC, Fox, CNN, CBS, etc., and read LA Times, WSJ, and others, and listen to NPR. There is good and bad in each. You close your mind and live in your little world. Be happy in there.

          • @B. Williams

            Your claim to be “open-minded” is an opinion not a fact.

            That Fox and MSNBC are the same is your opinion not a fact.

            See, you can’t discern fact from opinion and you put forth your opinion, such as with Fox and MSNBC, as fact. That’s what Fox did that cost them $787.5 million paid to Dominion.

            Where has MSNBC done something that egregious and costly and for many months? It wasn’t just a one time fabrication. It is their business model; money over truth. That’s a fact. Rupert Murdoch siaid as much, It was about the “green”.

            Please tell us what other things your “open mind” has collapsed. If you go back and look at your comments and replies to me, they are all opinion not fact. I have brought up a couple of facts regarding the differences but you….nothing. Nada.

            That’s dishonest discourse and I guess you think you’re good at it.

            You wrote that you watch MSNBC. So, you must have many examples of their dishonety.. They are, of course, liberal. “Reality has a liberal bias.” Stephen Colbert. That’s true. You seem to thnk a libeeral bias is suspect. It isn’t as long as they are honest unlike Fox. MSNBC has a higher level of inegrity than Fox. Everybody does. That’s my opinion.

            What has had your open mind be so closed down about MSNBC? Any facts there, Miss Open Mind? And thanks, I do have a nice life in sharp contrast to the complainers here about their lives that they blame on the government.

            “An open mind is a terrible thing to fill wih nonsensical opinions masquerading as facts.”

            Class dismissed. The homework assignment is to learn the difference between facts and opinion. Come back prepared to discuss.

            What did you think of Kevin McCarthy giving the 1/6 surveillance tapes from the Capital to Tucker Carlson to cherry-pick uneventful portions while Fox didn’t air the first day of the 1/6 hearing live?

            But, they ran their nightly opinion shows with no commercials to “interpret” the hearing for you and their viewers. That is a significant difference between the 2 channels unless you have an “open mind”. (sarcasm)

            Here’s more on how Fox rolls.
            “If you’ve ever been in a TV control room, there’s a huge bank of monitors that shows everything that’s on TV,” Carlson told his viewers about midway through his Thursday program. He pretended to be surprised that the hearing was on. “One of our producers just said that on every other channel, they’re playing some kind of January 6th hearing,” he said. “January 6th? As if that’s the biggest thing going on in America right now.”

            You’d get an “F” in school if you wrote about your open mindedness about Fox and MSNBC pretending they are alike. Remember “Compare and contrast” instructions on essay tests? Oh, you don’t. I shoulda known that.

            Biden has done a remarkable job, B. Williams, if you weren’t biased or a MAGA. Do you recall what was waiting for him on 1.20.21 after an eventful transition period? He has gotten bi-partisan legislation through a seriously divided Congress , managed NATO’s participation in the Ukraine War while some republicans are rooting for Putin to win.

            I’m guessing you are hiding some of your strongly held beliefs on politics to maintain your “open mind” fiction simply by your Biden question. Let’s hear more about that. Are you also open minded about Putin, Hitler, Saddam, etc. in your “fair and balanced” world?

            Do you think Trump was a good president? Did you vote for him once, twice, thrice? Will you vote for him next time?

          • I’ve had lots of reasonable dialogs with William, so clearly he is not incapable of having them.

            Do you find that a whole lot of people are incapable of having a reasonable dialog with you?

          • Tim, you are probably right. William may be a wonderful person. I just don’t think we could have a constructive dialogue on anything political. He is a dyed in the wool MSNBC guy. There are other points of view and no one media agency is completely unbiased. There ae some better than others. I will just leave William to his MSNBC bliss. He’s not harming anyone. I wish him well. Besides, I am still suffering from my chopper incident. I need peace in my life.

          • Fire at will. Destroy target. Send confirmation evidence video on secure channel at earliest surfacing to satellite contact. Collect any remains and cleanup debris per protocol 75B. Transport remains and debris for cataloguing and disposal at next return to port.

      • Is the FBI also controlled by the Fox/Murdoch group? They have a page dedicated to the Chinese problem. Or are you on one of Rexxies commissions? That seems to shut up a lot of his critics. That and donations to various community groups.

      Surprised he didn’t meet the same fate, good job tim.

    • The mayor of Llancaster tried his war on gangs and war on Section 8. All that resulted was the slaughter of thousands of pit bulls and a multi million dollar lawsuit that cost the taxpayers, not the mayor. Has anyone ever wondered why crime is lower in Pallmdale which is the neighboring city? Maybe we need a different approach and fresh leadership in Llancaster to build bridges instead of the macho bravado that is failing miserably.

Why then would anyone in their right mind bring a Communist Chinese company to the AV to set up in proximity to both national defense contractors and a military base? Either someone is a traitor, on the take, or very, very stupid.

    • There should be no foreign companies, especially those from Communist countries, anywhere near Plant 42 or Edwards. Let’s hope the F.B.I. is also looking into this. Follow the money.

            I left out poor Kevin McCarthy because HE’S NOT LEADING ANYTHING.

            Recently, I asked one of our Valley Girls to name a smart republican. Did you see a reply?

            Think Vivek Ramaswamy. He charged out of the gate shooting his mouth off and got handed his walking papers by the other hopefuls. He was asking for it too. They ignored Desantis as they should. He’s reaping his Poetic Just Desserts.

        • I think there is too much focus on the presidential election. This country is not ruled by the president, we operate and have been tremendously successful because of strict adherence to the RULE OF LAW. That law fills a large number of volumes that fill a large number of shelves in enough bookshelves to fill a room, and no president is actually responsible for any significantly large percentage of it.

          While people are busy watching for the president, who has actually always had a stutter, to bobble a word so they can shout about ‘cognitive decline,’ we have an entire political party operating under the direction of a man who advocates for abandonment of the rule of law. That’s the only thing that presents a genuine long term threat to the common good of the United States.

          • Biden is the most crooked and corrupt POTUS in history. Trump couldn’t be bribed to sell out our country to China, Russia, Ukraine, Khazakstan, Romania, and many others like the vile and treasonous Biden family. You’re in denial, as always. The irrational Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred you have for Trump and everyone that supports him points to severe pathological distress and your profound psychiatric problems.

In couples where at least one person is really all about the images of wealth, like you and your pal clearly imply that you are, when the woman is aging ungracefully into middle age the husbands tend to trade a forty for a couple of twenties. Is that why nothing came of your threats, or did the purported husbands never exist in the first place?

    • Just saw Trump’s mugshot, where he is clearly trying to ‘look hard’ in anticipation of being an inmate. Totally hilarious.

      • Former government employee Trump’s mugshot reminded me of another photo.

        In 1941, noted portrait photograhper Yousuf Karsch was to take Winston Churchill’s photograph.

        Churchill was in no mood and was chomping on his cigar.

        “Churchill’s cigar was ever present. I held out an ashtray, but he would not dispose of it. I went back to my camera and made sure that everything was all right technically. I waited; he continued to chomp vigorously at his cigar. I waited. Then I stepped toward him and, without premeditation, but ever so respectfully, I said, “Forgive me, sir,” and plucked the cigar out of his mouth. By the time I got back to my camera, he looked so belligerent he could have devoured me. It was at that instant that I took the photograph.”

        I guess the mugshot photographer grabbed a turkey drumstick outta Trump’s mouth right before the photo.

        He’s supposed to look tough, I guess. But, he looks like a pathetic fool which he is of course.

        • I saw a side by side of his mug shot and a picture that is commonly used in MEMEs called ‘tantrum boy.’ It’s hilarious how similar they are. Hard to say which one would be the better fit for a caption like “I’m holding my breath until I get a cookie!”

        • LOL…sure man, you know all about me. By the way, we can meet any time to discuss ‘powder puffs’ or whatever else you might be into.

  140. If a President Trump took a vacation and then showed up on Maui and told a made up story about almost losing his Corvette and cat, while parents are looking for the ashes of their children, he would be arrested on the spot, impeached twice, and the story would blanket the news for years.

      • Good one, Tim Scott. How true. How true.

        Fox “news?” ran with that story for a couple days now. The local Maui newspapers all praised Biden’s trip, but Fox made up a different story for its clueless viewers.

        Meanwhile, Trump and Tucker both stuck it to Fox with Trump’s counterprograming interview to run at the same time as their clown car debate.

        I will enjoy this debate as they go after each other like the little boys they are.

        Tonight will be Desantis’s last stand. He’ll get scalped like Custer.

        Vivek Ramaswamy is all ego and Christie will trim a few feathers off him. Maybe all of them.

        Tim Scott can’t answer a question with9ut sounding dumb and connfused.Herschel v2.

        Gov. Burgum of North Dakota paid $20 for each $1 contribution ti his campaign to get on the debate stage. Biden supporters donated a bunch of 1-dollar donations and sent the $20 to the Biden campaign. Then, the gov hurt his knee and might not be able to stand for the debate.

        Tonight, we’ll see how effective prayer is for those poor hopeless saps. They created the monster and now the monster is eating their lunches.

        Tomorrow, Donald J. Trump goes to Atlanta to get his mug shot. He will be especially orange for it. Like a mango.

        It’s funny how it’s usually the Dmocrats that are like herding cats through an airport. But, the republicans are showing us how a dying political party looks….like a dumpster fire behind a diaper disposal company.

      • Biden’s always on vacation. At rehobeth or camping out in the basement…

        Also in other news his re-election strategy has been released…

        Push COVID on the masses again, inflict fear campaign against the masses again whilst calling for lockdowns, masks and mass mail out ballots without signature verification…

        You know the only way you guys can win.

    • President Biden was embarrassing in Hawaii. His attempts at being empathetic were hollow and callous. His mind is obvious going. He needs to step down.

  141. If you didn’t think things could get any worse in Palmdale, think again. After giving away $10 million for an event center in Lancaster, we now have Austin Bishop as the next mayor. He’s the one that can’t vote on half the items on the agenda because he does so much business with Lancaster. That’s one of the perks of being Marves boy. Why don’t they just combine the cities and get it over with already. Pathetic.

    • Bishop is going to be mayor of Palmdale? I thought Hoffbower was bad. This is a new low. Dude is nothing but a puppet of Marvin.

      • Why not have a puppet or two? nobody seems to mind and the serial meetings and decisions may be illegal but who is going to do anything about that….? obviously nobody and its Buisness as usual.

        • For years the local press was silenced by the power brokers in the north. There were a couple of stories about serial meetings and the illegal purchase of the McMahon’s building, but nothing came of it with the exception of the reporter being let go.

          Serial meetings have been happening at local restaurants but no one cares. Maybe people will come forward and speak to the FBI about what they know. They have an office in Lancaster that hopefully isn’t controlled by the Fern Street boys. Their number is (661) 729-7000.

  142. Well, this might work.

    Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3:​

    “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

    Y’see, it doesn’t say “…upon conviction..”. I think watching the insurrection on Fox news for 3 hours and telling his “fanboys” “We love you.” is giving aid and confort.

    I’m sure Lindsey Grahma will get the vapos and argue against this.

    Might as well go after Sen. Josh Hawley for raising his fist for the “fanboys” then running ike a scared little girl to save his a$$ from the mob. Typical republican male.
    I didn’t see Speaker Nancy Pelosi running. She was on the phone organizing.the reponse. I guess our 2 capaon, McCarthy and Garcia were hiding under their desks.

    How much longer will this MAGA Trump Party last? It’s on self-destruct. Trump is counterprogram during the debate Wednesay with an intervier with Tucker Carson who once wrote that he hates Trump passionately. I guess Tucker is sticking it to Fox and so is Trump.

    But, Fox might have a say in this but it won’t be Desantis. What a flop he is. Nobody likes him and it’s well-deserved. Having lost the nomination, he’ll have to spend the next couple years cleaning up the messes he’s made in Florida that were only done for the purpose of his campaign strategy not governing.

    Who wrote this movie?

    Buttered or plain?

    • Word is that Trump will be turning himself in at the Atlanta courthouse during the debate to counterprogram against it. Maybe Tucker can interview him on the steps of the courthouse, assuming he gets bail.

      • You didn’t dispute anything i wrote Ace Carter because you ain’t too bright and it shows.

        That’s how you guys roll.

        Can you read anything that isn’t all caps?

        • Yeah,
          Only the police state tyrant leftists totalitarian pukes mention the 14th,

          Congrats you ol red.

          • Bryant “Corky” Messner, a New Hampshire attorney who ran for the U.S. Senate in 2020 with Trump’s endorsement, has suggested he intends to file a legal challenge questioning Trump’s 2024 candidacy under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars officials from holding federal or state office if they’ve “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the [U.S.], or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

    • The weird thing is that this is a state level decision. If some state, say California, has a secretary of state who wants to stand up and say “by my interpretation Trump is ineligible” then Trump is off the ballot in that state. Of course he will immediately sue, and courts will have to decide if the secretary of state made a reasonable judgement, but to make it interesting what would actually happen?

      Would the California Republican Party designate a different candidate to be on the ballot, or would there just be no GOP candidate? What would the RNC have to say about whatever they chose to do?

      This is really the only point of interest because no secretary of state in any state where Trump might actually win is going to do this. Even if California tossed him off the ballot and the courts upheld it as the secretary of state performing their duty appropriately I don’t think it obligates other secretaries of state to come to the same conclusion.

      Interesting times. I don’t think when the 14th amendment was drafted they anticipated that there would ever be enough stupid people to make a a viable candidate out of someone that would fall in the ‘grey area’ of ‘well, yeah, apparently tried to overthrow the government but hasn’t been convicted yet.’

    He’s already played a QAnon song called “Wwg1wga” at an Ohio rally. “Where we go one, we go all.” is funny because that is a feature of the RICO Act. Even if someone plays a minor role, they get convicted to the whole thing with the others.

  147. The Lancaster hypocrites are at it again. In their meeting with Palmdale’s council where they got $10 million for the AV Fair building, they agreed to work together to fight the EPA’s air quality ruling that will affect Northrup and Lockheed. This is the kind of cooperation we need. Where was it when Rexx and Marve were fighting the power plant with their lies about minority children dying on the soccer fields in Lancaster and clouds of smoke preventing airplanes at Plant 42 from flying? Funny how pollution is only a bad thing when it affects them. Hypocrites!

  148. The democrats are correct:

    Outside of the bank records, the suspicious activity reports, the wire transfers, the Private bank transactions, the LLCs, the texts, the emails, the WhatsApp messages, the photos of Joe with Hunter’s business partners, the voicemails to his son, the two business partners saying Joe is the “brand,” the “big guy,” and “the chairman,” the two whistleblowers’ testimony, the recorded phone calls between Biden and Poroshenko, the video of Joe Biden bragging about firing the Ukrainian prosecutor, and Hunter’s statements that he’s giving his dad half his income, there is NO evidence of Joe Biden being involved.

    Good call guys.

  150. Bidenomics = Record high inflation, record high consumer prices, record high interest, record high consumer debt, record high gas prices, stagnant wage growth, a failing stock market, and an economy on the verge of recession.

    • Americans have come out behind: we are paying the full cost of the Chinese tariffs, and those higher costs have significantly dampened U.S. export growth.

      The average U.S. tariff has increased from 1.6 percent to 5.4 percent since the trade war with China really got rolling in July 2018, but the tariffs do not appear to be affecting foreign export prices.

      The tariffs imposed by the Trump administration have hurt the nation’s agriculture industry and could inflate food prices long term, something that should alarm everyone during this time of inflation.

      China is the largest export market for U.S. agriculture, and tariffs have done little other than hurt American farmers and related industries according to the Tax Foundation, a Washington think tank.

      None of this should be surprising. The effects of tariffs have been generally understood at least since the Great Depression, when Congress enacted a host of tariffs that many economists believe exacerbated and prolonged a bad economy.

      As a demonstration of that idiocy of tariff policy, Americans have been subsidizing the production of small trucks for 60 years (q.v, “Chicken Tax”), adding a full 25% to the price of imported small trucks. This obviously hurts consumers, and adds to price inflation directly.

          • LOL…sorry, but the person giving you facts that you don’t like there isn’t me so there’s no reason to think they are a convicted felon.

            And hilariously enough I have a degree in economics. I used to have it hanging on the wall of my cell.

            Meanwhile a great economics joke that was big during the Trump administration: “There are only ten economists left in the world that are too stupid to understand why mercantilism was abandoned centuries ago, and nine of them are working in the White House.”

    • Let’s not forget how The Orange Jooleus frappe-faced numbskull penalized the wealthy in the “Tax Cut and Job Act” when he signed off on the biggest tax increase for upper middle class citizens in states where taxes are relatively high, then REDISTRIBUTED the revenues form those tax INCREASES to the poorer lower tax states.
      The REAL tragedy, if anything, is that Biden went along with this SOCIALIST REDISTRIBUTION SCHEME.
      THE REAL KICKER is how TCJA scrooed REGULAR WAGE EARNERS (working stiffs) in order to grant S-COrporations, pass thru entities, and BIG COMPANIES with the largest effective tax cut in over 30 years (from ~40% max to less than 30%), while recovering the lost tax revenue from CORPORATE TAX by taxing wage earners more substantially. This is called “CORPORATE SUBSIDY”.
      It is terrifying that both (R) and (D) administrations continue to utilize each color of sheep (red sheep, and blue sheep) to promote the same “SCROO THE MIDDLE CLASS” style policies.

And you need that outrage because it is how you avoid facing your actions. You aren’t bound by courtesy, social norms, morals, or even laws, because so long as you can draw on that outrage to tell you that any wrong on your part is ‘justifiable as retaliation,’ or just ‘fighting fire with fire.’

            They don’t even reference it as a source. Yet, Fox has millions of viewers such as would be found in the Antelope Valley. Where are they?

            Some of their comments are almost word-for-word lifted from Fox or at least the stories.

            No wonder we keep looking for intelligent life in the universe. There ain’t much of it here on planet Earth.

            Meanwhile, Fox doesn’t know what to do with the campaigns. Should they support Trump or go blind? Fox helped create the monster and now they are stuck with him.

I actually got a few phone calls from republicans years ago regarding my letters. I can handle it but chickens like Beecee have to hide because, well, they are chickens, old stewing chickens. The MAGA men are capons like Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Ron Desantis and the rest.

            Beecee loves capons like those men who take both knees for Trump. The MAGA Trumper men and their wives would be fine if Trump declared his “Droit de Seigneur”. Google it Beecee. It’s about you and your ilk.

            The right and Beecee do those kinds of things because they were dealt a lousy hand with Trump and have nothing better to discuss.

            She says she’s, “happy” but she lies about everything so we can assume from her wrtings that she isn’t happy and she’s quite miserable being on the losing side of everything and she can’t defend it. So she doxes and calls people “nerds”. Wow. What did her parents do to her?

            Beecee was just as miserable the 4 years Trump was in office.

            What a piece of work she is. What kind of dude would marry that? A smart one? No way. A blind one. Perhaps.

          • Fox News was the first news agency to call AZ for Biden in the last election. There is a difference in news and the various “news entertainment” shows such as Hannity. Just like MSNBC has its news and its “news entertainment” shows with Maddow. Fox leans to the right, MSNBC leans to the left. I miss the days of Walter Cronkite, who while being a liberal, never signaled what he was in his news reporting. Ok, so I’m old.

          • @Joe Friday

            If you paid any attention to the Dominion lawsuit against Fox for $787.5 million you might have caught this. Fox paid that out for lying about the stolen election and defamation against Dominion voting machines.

            Smartmatic voting machines is on deck to file a $2.7 billion lawsuit against Fox for the same thing. Plus, there are other lawsuits from former employees.

            The person who called the election for Biden at Fox was fired FOR BEING HONEST. Do you understand that? Google it yourself if you don’t believe me.

            From Newweek.
            Fox News editor who was fired after playing a leading role in calling President Joe Biden’s November election victory in Arizona before any other news network has said that he did not feel vindicated by last week’s election audit results because the damage has already been done.

            So, Joe Friday. The above was learned from the Dominion lawsuit.

            MSNBC doesn’t do that kind of thing. Fox called it first to be first. That’s the game they play on election night. It’s not because Fox is “fair and balanced” and honest. See Dominion lawsuit.

            Then, Fox continued on with guests like Sidney Powel and others who said the election was stolen…for many months.

            Now, your username is new so I doubt if you’ll be back to acknowledgle the above.

            So, you’re old. So am I. It doesn’t excuse you for being so naive.

            Comparing Fox with other cable channels is what naive people do. Fox should be compared with QAnon and Newsmax and the National Enquirer not MSNBC.

            I giving you the benefit of the doubt. Others saying such things are called “liars”. See Beecee.

            Got it? Good.

          • There’s not a lot of difference between the news department and the entertainment at Fox. The guy who made that call…Fox fired him.

            Fox News is no more biased than MSNBC. Just in a different direction.
            ——————————

            Fox just paid out $787.5 million to Dominion voting machines for lying about the election. Smartmatic is on deck for $2.7 BILLION for lying about the election.
            Those 2 voting machine companies didn’t sue MSNBC.

            Roger Ailes=sexual harrassment
            Bill O’Reilly=sexual harrassment
            Ed Henry=ditto
            Kimberly Guilfoyle-ditto. She was showing dikpics to other women at Fox
            Tucker Carlson fired for lying associated with Dominion and other things
            Eric Bolling fired for texting and sending nude pics to women at Fox
            And a few more whose names aren’t as familiar.

            MSNBC had a few guys misbehaving, very few, and they’re gone but nothing like the stinking pile of excrement that is Fox. That isn’t really bias but shows what kind of news organization Fox is.

            If you think reporting the facts makes MSNBC biased, that’s a problem your therapist can assist you with.

            Kevin McCarthy gave all the 1/6 surveillance tapes to Tucker Carlson to cherry-pick benign moments from thousands of hours to pretend that 1/6 was no big deal. THAT’S BIAS, Freddy and don’t you forget it.

            What to do with people that can’t see the obvious even when it’s pointed out to them?

            You’re not alone Freddy. There are many like you and it’s a problem for the whole country. You folks believe lies and dismiss facts and evidence.

            You and them are a bigger problem than migrants crossing the Rio Grande, drag queens, married gays, Muslims, Black Live Matter, and so on.
            They didn’t cause the market crash in 2008 or storm the Capital on 1/6. White nationalists are the biggest domestic terrorism threat and Fox news caters to them. THAT’S BIAS.

            In other news, Wednesday’s’ RNC debate will be fun. I wouldn’t be surprised if a riot broke out with that crowd. Trump won’t be there and the others will be gunnin’ for Desantis who will decompensate before our eyes saying “I’m melting. I’m melting.” It will be good fun.

            Are you really that hopeless, Freddy? Websites such as Media Matters have been around for years reporting the lies of Fox news and they never run out.

            Do you really watch MSNBC or just going by what Fox tells you?

        • Email providers, ISPs, and law enforcement agencies can track down individuals from emails using their IP addresses and other metadata even if they keep changing IP addresses. It makes it easier.

          • LOL…yeah that’s why Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber won’t just e-mail me to set up the meeting they pretend that their husbands are wanting…because y’know the FBI is on standby waiting to help me out.

            Or maybe their husbands told them to fight their own battles when they pick a fight and went looking for smarter trophies.

    • Before you get too excited about Dorris resigning, just remember that it is modus operandi in Lancaster for them to have a councilmember resign before the next election if they aren’t planning on running again. That way Wrecks gets to appoint another councilmember and continue the cycle of puppets. Dorris was appointed first, then ran with good old boy money. Just like Mahli and Johnson. Or they get appointed to the Planning Commission and then run on team Wrecks. This has kept the good old boy network in power for decades and the reason why the taxpayer gets bilked for idiotic projects while the in crowd lines their pockets.

      • The new councilman will be announced and the re-election fund raising can start by Marvin and Drew can start mapping the campaign out. This is the formula that they have used for years and the voters let it slide ??

  152. Lanc. and Palm.By The Numbers

    $10 Million – Total cost of the now defunct Eye in the Sky
    $10 Million – Amount of money Palm gave Lanc for the event center/evac center in Lancaster
    $14 million – Projected Palm budget deficit in 2028
    $12.5 million – The settle amount paid by Palm and Lanc after Rexx’s failed War on Section 8
    $5 million – Palm’s contribution for a wellness center in Lanc
    $4 million – Projected Palm budget deficit in 2027
    $200,000 – Total amount of Palm’s sponsorship of AV Fair in 2022 and 2023
    $60,000 – Total amount of money Palm sent to Lanc for the fireworks show in Lanc
    $0 – Total amount of money sent to Palm from Lanc

    • In all my years of living in Palmdale, I cannot recall one time when Lancaster ever helped us financially. They have been a pain in the keester and that is being kind.

    • If Palmdale has deficits coming up why in heaven’s name are they sending $10 million dollars to Lancaster? What is going on?

        • Establishing precedent is a key part of legislation and regulatory behavior.

          Its a tower of Babel, but it’s OUR tower…

          Many times in our modern world we are experiencing “unprecedented” conditions and the corresponding uncertainty…that just means our evolutionary cycle is amped up and we choose to evolve, devolve, or even revolt to reform (revolution)

        • Beee, Beecee, B, BS, BO etc. writes brilliantly.

          “I mean that what I do…”

          She’ll do better when she gets her GED if ever.

          She must love losing here every time she posts. Her ignorance is noted.

          It’s been about 7 years now since Trump descended the escalator and Beecee has been going downhill too all the while.

          7 (seven) years. How fun time is when you’re having flies, Beecee.

          Beecee, don’t you know that people who attached their lips to Trump’s backside like you have end up like Rudy Giuliani, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers? You’re reduced to doxing and writing nonsense here thinking you’re so clever. No. Not at all.

          You are aging ungracefully, old gal. 47 and counting and it’s not a pretty sight. Time to go to the ‘shop’ and get some ‘work’ done if Earl Shibe will take you.

    • Unfortunately, in the MAGA world lack of evidenc is PROOF of something.

      On Fox this weekend, they are acting like Devon Archer produced the “smoking gun” when he did nothing like that.

      Allegations aren’t evidence.
      Hunter Biden giving the “illusion” of access isn’t evidence of a crime.

      Archer said that he saw/heard no business being discussed by Joe Biden with Hunter or his partners.

      In MAGA world, that’s cause for imprisonment.

      Then, there is Sonya here posting a link to Comer’s House committee’s statement on Archer’s testimony. You can be sure it’s as honest as Bill Barr’s statement on the Mueller report given weeks before it was acutally released.

      That’s why MAGAs keep saying he was exonerated, and it was a hoax just as Barr intended.

      • So many witnesses that provide ‘smoking guns’ for (R) purposes end up disappearing.

        Why?

        • It’s the right wing propaganda cycle.
          1) Some zero credibility clown that republicans have elected to congress declares that “this is it, the key witness, the smoking gun, the final nail in the case.”
          2) Faux News schedules fifty guests a day to comment on what the witness “is going to say” for as many days in a row as they can.
          3) RWNJs with blogs, like Breitbarf, The Daily (name) Caller, et al, run a steady stream of ‘as seen on Fox News, the ultimate smoking gun!!!’ stories.
          4) Gullible goof like Big C, Frank Stank, and Sonya spew constantly about the witness all over social media.
          5) The witness finally testifies, is a complete nothingburger, and congressional republicans never speak of them again.
          6) Change to new ‘key witness’ and return to step one.

          They don’t actually ‘disappear,’ it’s just that the propaganda mill moves on.

          • @Tim Scott

            You wrote, “5) The witness finally testifies, is a complete nothingburger, and congressional republicans never speak of them again.”

            Not quite. Fox is still at it saying that Devon Archer testified that Biden was in on business meetings with Hunter and others. They don’t quote Areher. They just say Fox’s version of reality that cost them $785,500,000USD paid to Dominion. DOMINION. DOMINION. Don’t forget that word.

            Smartmatic (SMARTMATICE) is next.

            All kidding aside. We knew Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan and James Comer would be a clusterfest of amateurs pretending to be Colombo. That would be Leroy Colombo, con artist, forger, liar.

            It’s just been reported that Hunter’s tax charges have been dropped. He paid back the taxes with penalties. Ahhh. The poor MAGAs. Now what?

            I think they should have all gun owners sign new documents saying they aren’t addicted to drugs and give them a drug test. You’d think the GOP/NRA/Fox would be right there defending Hunter Biden. They were in favor of allowing convicted domestic abusers to have gun permits. Why not drug addicts?

            Imagaine all the meth and opioid addicted gun owners there are in this country that lied on their forms. Go get ’em Comer.

            Republicans aren’t good or effective at anything but hate and cheating.

    • We are in a weird space.
      We have attorneys who gave seriously edgy – maybe even preposterous or nefarious – advice to a sitting president.
      Those attorneys presented their advice to El Chapo de Maralago and he went along with it.
      But the advice and the mechanics were all carried out by lower level stooges while El Capo was careful with actions and words, even though inflammatory and unhelpful to peaceful conduct.
      The prosecution of a high level pawn at the hands of skilled but demented attorneys in this subterfuge is this:
      Can you convict someone who is so dumb and so immune to guilt, so lacking of a conscience that just ‘went along’ with what is a criminal enterprise intended to lever uncertainty about process against political opponents, all the while promoting delay and culturally appeasing misinformation about their activity?

      • Its already starting.
        Susan Shelley is already making her opinion pieces portray the Orange Menace as a simple detractor, one whose questions are valid and worth addressing.
        It is part of a loser’s strategy to delay the end of the game while you are ahead, or in control of the ball, all the while calculating you cannot lose if the end of the game is never attained.
        The American people deserve better than a charade of delay tactics that are a desperate grip on power by tooth and nail.

        • Judge Tanya Chutkan in the Georgia case is brilliant. She told Trump and his “crew” of amateurs that if he continues with inflamatory statments, jury or witness tampering, she’ll have to speed up the calendar on the trial. She ain’t kiddin’.

          Trump’s defense is delay so she has a way of killing off that option.

          Trump has met his match with Chutkan and Jack Smith and a few others. They aren’t gonna play dumb like Judge Cannon in the Mar a Lago case. That would be Judge Luz Cannon. Trump nominated her. She bends over for him. Trump loves her so don’t even start with 2-tiers of justice. You’ll just get 2 tears from us.

  155. We have established a required minimum that in order to run in next year’s presidential primary a candidate must be out on bail from a minimum of three jurisdictions.

  157. Jack Smith’s indictment, United States vs Donald J. Trump isn’t all seriousness.

    An excerpt from the 45-page indictment.

    A top Trump advisor said, “I’ll obviously hustle to help on all fronts, but it’s tough to own any of this when it’s all just conspiracy sh** beamed down from the mothership.”.

    So, that’s how Beecee and Sonya get their “information”.

    If you like to read 45 pages, here ya go.

    https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/full-text-trump-indictment-pdf-jack-smith-jan-6-2020-election-rcna96030

    For Beecee who can’t read more than a half-dozen words, here’s the audio version.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk_a_OFXLgY
    If the link doesn’t work, just look for it on YouTube.

    I thought I had heard most everything, but this indictment is devastating in detail and quantity of texts, testimony of conversations and recordings.

    It you can’t or won’t read/listen to it, try not to speak on the subject. i wasn’t anxious to read more of what I had already heard but it was worth it.

    One of the news channels should run the audio verson at prime time with no commercials.

    Now, remember MAGA Trumpers. A grand jury found probable cause for this indictment and a jury of 12 citizens will decide Trump’s fate at trial.

    Is this a Democratic scheme to send Trump to prison? Hardly. Nearly every witness here and during the House 1/6 investigation was either appointed, hired, chosen by Trump and is a republican. It’s not a bunch of Democrats testifying against him.

    Trump has been cautioned by the judge about speaking to any witnesses about the indictment or jury tampering. Can he restrain himself? He’ll go straight to confinement if he messes around with this judge. She added more time to some of the 1/6 insurrectionists’ sentences than the prosecutors askef for.

    I know all you “lawn order’ folks who don’t like crime will be happy to hear that. They should get “life”, right?

      • You get dumber by the day, er, minute, Beecee.

        All the witnesses against Trump are REPUBLICANS. Yes they are.

        And you look especially foolish here saying the dumba$$ things you say.

        But, that’s you.

  160. If Palmdale has a projected budged deficit of $18 million in years 2027 and 2028, why are they giving Lancaster $10 million dollars for an event center at the fairground of which they will receive no financial benefit?

    Talk amongst yourselves…………….

    • They are giving the money to Lancaster because the Lancaster political operatives donated massive sums of money to their campaigns and they are now owned by them. When the mayor and vice mayor tell them to jump, they ask, how much money do you want?

    • The Palmdale council is just doing what they were told to do. Political donations work that way. Lanncaster’s good old boy network has it down to a science. Buy the candidate or local community ‘leader’, tell them what they want and sit back and watch the chaos.

      • Eric Ohlsen voted to send $10 million to Lancaster for the event center. Meanwhile East Palmdale gets left out again. Didn’t we elect him to represent us and not Lancaster? I expected better from a Democrat.

        Fox news??? lied and lied about the election and Dominion made $787.5 million from their lies and now you’re buying their Biden family lies? You just don’t care do ya?

        Compare Comer’s and Jordan’s investigations to the House’s 1/6 committee’s investigations and Jack Smith’s indictiment of Trump.

      Tell us now about Empty G. (Marjorie Taylor Greene) and Jewish space lasers.

      Tell us about pedophile sex rings in a pizza parlor’s basement in a pizza parlor with no basement.

      SHE is running the House republican caucus in case you were asleep the past 8 months.

      Anyway. You lose.

      • Yes William. Hank Johnson put country above self and resigned so he could stand on the edge of Guam so it doesn’t tip. A true Dem hero!

        • So what?

          If you would like to compare Democratic nuttiness with MAGA republican nuttiness and corruption, the Rs win. They’ve given up pretending to be conservatives or whatever. It’s all Trump now and they are gonna lose again.

          The republicans have corrupted.
          -the presidency
          -the DOJ with Bill Barr and the rotating group of AGs and others who are now co-conspirators.
          -the Supreme Court, i.e, Alito, Thomas and Roberts who are not too ethical.
          -the other courts and judges Trump appointed like Judge Cannon who is inept and biased. Trump loves her. The appeals court chastized her twice on the Mar a Lago case and is still acting crazy and making up things. A Trump judge no less.

          -Trump’s guy messed up the post office during the pandemic and the election season
          -Trump knew he lost the election but still grifted donations for his fund to investigate electing fraud. It went mostly to his attorney’s fees.
          -Trump’s son-in-law Jared somehow got a $2,000,000,000 loan/gift rom the Saudis on his way out of the White House. Much more money than Hunter ever saw.
          -and so on. That’s not the complete list.

          How much longer can the republican party pretend to be a real party and not a cult?

    • That’s all you got, Beecee?

      Now tell us about Marjorie and the Jewish Space Lasers or the pedophile pizza parlor with no basement. That’s a mighty thick crust you got. But, you do smell like anchovies.

      A dumb Democrat is always smarter than any republican. That’s the way of the world.

      Name a smart republican if you can.

        • @Sonya
          Were you able to name a smart republican or a MAGA.

          You replied several times to the initial comment but failed to answer the question.

          I know it’s a difficult question with perhaps no answers.

          You fail here quite a lot. Are you learning from your mistakes?

        • Being opposed to the theocratic police state government of Israel isn’t “anti-Semitic,” it’s just opposition to totalitarianism. When you don’t know what you are talking about it would be better to open something other than your mouth.

          Try a book.

    • That’s actually a common joke on Guam. Now, where do you think “Jewish space lasers” is a punch line? Democrats have a sense of humor, Republicans are jokes.

        • I see that you are too stupid to get the joke. It refers to the fact that Guam is ‘overloaded’ with US military. That makes “one more -whatever- might sink the island” a pretty common response on Guam whenever the military announces whatever they are bringing in next.

          Sorry you needed that explained, but not surprised.

  165. “Sadly, the president was surrounded by a group of crackpot lawyers that kept telling him what his itching ears wanted to hear.”

    • This is what ties the base to Trump, they are kindred spirits. Whether it is crackpot lawyers, Fox ‘News’ personalities, Q, or crazed right wing bloggers ‘reporting’ from their basements, the Sonyas and Beecees of the world, like Trump, are on a desperate search for someone to tell them what they want to hear, rather than telling them the truth.

    • It would be a damned shame if that – used as a defense – proved a successful strategy to avoid conviction.

      Possible testimony:
      “I am an ignoramus. My Professional barristers told me their honest assessment and I trusted their counsel. If anything is to be convicted, it is the system of justice that led to my indictment, and that system is corrupt and filled with incompetence.”

      • The AG of the US and the chief white house counsel’s office are officially tasked with providing the president with legal counsel. There is abundant testimony that they did provide such counsel, in direct opposition to the crackpot theories that Trump wanted to hear. If he tries the “I was ignorant and trusted the lawyers” defense it gets blown out of the water by “why did you choose to follow the advice of these lawyers instead of the lawyers that you appointed to positions to advise you?”

  167. 4 indictments and more on the way.

    Soon the republican wannabees will be going at it hammer and tongs.

  169. Some new one off screen name says “Congress is about to uncover…”

    What a crock. The GOP just got done saying that their “star witness” was testifying about “Joe Biden taking bribes.” The star witness himself says that he and Hunter Biden sold the illusion of access to Joe Biden and Joe Biden had nothing to do with it. As usual, GOP lead congressional investigations provide no evidence, just GOP congress members making unsubstantiated sound bite accusations that directly conflict with the evidence and testimony that they are being given.

    • @Tim Scott re: the latest hearing to nowhere. I posted this earlier, but it might still be in “Moderation Eternity.”

      Rep. Goldman on Devon Archer’s interview: “The witness was unequivocal and stated very clearly that [Joe and Hunter Biden] never discussed any business on their phone conversations.”

      Another NOTHING BURGER w/o the fries. Comer will go on Fox Not Really News and say the opposite. They’ve produced no evidence of Joe Biden doing anything wrong just like they failed with the Benghazi hearings.

      BTW. I’d like to hear your take on 2 or more independents discussing politics similar to your story comparing 2 seriously different scenarios.

      Here’s mine.
      Independent #1, “Both parties are bad.”
      Independent #2, “Yeah. How true.”
      Independent #3, “Did you see the Barbie movie?”
      Independent #4, “What about thom Dodgers?”
      Independent #5, “Im’ busy gardening.”

      And so it goes, er, went. Nothing. Nada. Nyet. The republican agenda. The number zero.

      Once they distinguish themselves as not being able to tell the difference between 2 different things, no discussion with them is possible. See Donkey Loyalist for how that looks. A prime example.

      Now, the little man in the space behind his eyes is talking to him trying to come up with a really great response. If only.

      The education systen has really failed us. It doesn’t matter if I know something when millions of others like Donkey don’t. It’s like driving the SR-14 with a bunch of drunk drivers everywhere. I can drive carefully at the speed limit, but those folks are still dangerous.

        • Why, Weineman? Is one of your Weiner photos missing?

          Get with Wildo. She has it.

          PS. Wildo is BeeceeLOL.

          • William, I would have gladly traded you my Weiner photo for a John Conyers condom or a Gerry Studds spanish fly kit. I know those are keepsakes for you, but the Weiner photo was autographed.

      • You wouldn’t know a ‘marxist’ if one came up and bit you on your insanely huge butt.

          • Don’t forget Stinger, Sonya thinks the election was stolen from Trump.

            Now she’s back with more “information”, such as it is.

            You can be the the House Oversight Committee’s statement is completely honest and objective or not.

            They lie about everything. And, Sonya believes the lies. See the first sentence above.

          • That’s still not a denial of any part of the statement… must be true, then… hun.

            You also seem to have an infatuation about me in that you seem to WANT everything I post to be sexual in nature… A familiar flirting tactic.

      • It was a NOTHING BURGER like you, Sonya.

        Archer testified that no business was ever discussed on those phone calls. Beau Biden had died around that time and father and son spoke daily. That kind of thing is foreign to you Sonya.

        You really are MAGA all the way to the bone.

      • Turley is a Fox paid stooge and that’s right up your alley, Beecee.

        He is so bleary-eyed trying to spin everything but it’s gospel to you.

        • No he’s actually a democrat who happens to be a law professor.

          And just cause you don’t like what he has to say cause you are a partisan… you tow the line, just like the corrupt legacy mainstream media.

          • Just noticed this…you are apparently too stupid to know the origins of the phrase ‘toe the line.’ No surprise there.

    • Meanwhile, we see what the house republicans were trying to do; stir up their unsupported by fact “scandal of the century” as a distraction from the actual scandalous behavior of Trump, who has been indicted yet again.

      By the way, if you were listening you could here the sound of a starting gun. The six (currently) unindicted co-conspirators are now in a race to see who can roll over in time to avoid their own indictments. Guiliani, Eastman, Clark, and Powell are obvious contestants. I’m gonna take a guess that the two people in the race that were not so clearly identifiable are Mark Meadows and Steve Bannon.

    • Do you actually believe that Hunter Biden was able to get millions from foreign business leaders without Joe’s involvement? How did Hunter schedule Chinese businessmen for White House appointments without Joe? Is there a website you go to? Of course, the Big Guy isn’t going to directly say “Give me bribe money”. What’s incredible is that people who ignore mountains of evidence against the Biden’s still insist Trump is a clear-cut criminal after no evidence of corruption was uncovered following an exhaustive four-year investigation by Trump-hating Democrats (including looking through his granddaughter’s accounts).

      Like Biden said “Come on, man!”

      • The guy frankly confessed that they traded on Hunter Biden’s last name, portraying family calls as potential access.

        When I was in prison I would frequently ‘be seen talking to’ a high ranking OG in a major gang. It was good for my rep and potentially kept me safer than I might have been so it was certainly worth my time to have the conversations. We talked about nothing that had anything to do with me doing anything for his gang or his gang doing anything for me, but I didn’t go out of my way to tell anyone that.

  172. Rep. Goldman(D) on Devon Archer’s interview: “The witness was unequivocal* and stated very clearly that [Joe and Hunter Biden] never** discussed any business on their phone conversations.”

    Another NOTHING BURGER from the dumba$$ Comer hearing. No fries with that either.

    The McCarthy House has accomplished what so far since January?

    Lying liars can’t seem to get anything to stick to Joe Biden. Boo effing hoo.

  174. There will be a special joint council meeting between the two cities this Monday, July 31 at AVC auditorium at 4 pm. Millions of your tax dollars will be distributed without the input of the residents unless you show up or call in.
    Do you want to send $10 million dollars to Lancaster for an event center at the fairgrounds that allegedly can be used by Palmdale residents in an emergency? Would you rather have that money invested closer to where you live so you can actually get to in if there were an emergency?

  175. Sen. Tim Scott is moving up slightly now that Ron Desantis is in free fall.

    I guess Scott thought, “Gee. Obama makes it look easy. I can do that.”.

    No. You can’t Senator. When they start asking you questions about foreign policy, financial policies and anything other than your resume and the right-wing culture issues, we’ll see how you do.

    His whole reason to be in the Senate is personal ambition. He’s not a standout there for any legislation.

    Can you see him at a G7 meeting or any meeting with foreign countries or any crisis?

    Scott is Herschel Walker v2.

    • Kinda like the Palmdale City Council members wanting to be a State Senator after a whole 7 months of City Council experience. Are they serious? Well they announced their intention to run for the Democrat primary! Is that why they ran for City Council? They could have at least told us!

    • I would vote for Scott over Biden or Trump. He’s not a meglomaniac and he still has his faculties.

      • There’s little indication that he’s ever had any faculties. His legislative record says very clearly “propose nothing, vote along party lines.”

        • If that is the case Tim Scott then he is cognizant of that fact. Our president shakes hands with people who aren’t there, speaks with great confusion often making up words that don’t exist, and has great propensity to fall. I’ll take Tim Scott over Joe Biden in a heartbeat.

          • The thing iS VOTER. When Sen. Scott is exposed as a lightweight you won’t be back here to hear the laughs at your expense.

            If age is your issue, Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert is a terrifying notion.

          • -Gerald Ford fell down the stairs on Air Force One. Chevy Chase mocked him.

            -Reagan had early onset of Alzheimer’s.

            -Bush senior barfed on the Japanese Prime Minister.

            -Bush Jr. fell off a bike and passed out eating a pretzel.

            -Trump is delusional and still thinks he won the 2020 election.

            Republicans were fussing over Hillary’s age back in 2016 when she was 69. Mitt Romney was a few months younger. Y’see. Republicans lie about things like that even though they ran in different elections.

            Look folks, if Biden was 37 republicans would be saying he’s too young.

            If Biden was 75, republicans would be saying he’s too old even though he’d be younger than Trump.

            Republican said Bill Clinton was an illegitmate president because he got under 50% of the vote due to Ross Perot being in the race.

            Republcans are always lying to suit themselves just like McConnell did with Garland’s and Barrett’s nominations.

            Now they want to expunge Trump’s 2 impeachments. They have no agenda just revenge and pointless investigations looking for a crime. You’re supposed to investigate a crime not to keep looking till you find one.

            But, that’s republicans for ya.
            I hope you’re still here when Tim Scott is shown to be the lightweight he is

            Ron Desantis is younger than Biden and is inept as a campaigner. I thought youth was all that mattered for you Voter.

            Didn’t you watch Biden’s Correspondent’s Dinner standup or his SOTU speech. He was awesome as Dark Brandon.

            No republican could have done as well at those 2 venues.

            Biden gets up every day and does the work of president. He isn’t tweeting, watching Fox & Friends and other Fox shows during his hours long “Executive Time” and playing golf and cheats at it.

            You wrote about Biden “…often making up words that don’t exist.” Trump makes up things that don’t exist and is a pathological liar. He is mentally unhinged.

            Sen. Tim Scott is Herschel Walker v2 and he’ll fall by the wayside the more he talks.

          • Not only does Biden fall down and the media ignores it, he shakes hands with invisible people, mumbles his words like a drunken sailor and somehow managed to make millions as a “public servant”. His ability to grift if rivaled only by the Lancaster gang.

      • Like I’ve said Voter. California is a winner take all state in the electoral college, so vote away for anyone you like. A Democrat will always win California in the college.

        That goes for anyone else. Vote for Trump, Desantis, Tucker Carlson or whomever. It just doesn’t matter.

        Trump is ahead of Nikki Haley and Tim Scott in SOUTH CAROLINA, their home state.

        Any questions?

  176. There will be a special joint council meeting between the two cities this Monday, July 31 at AVC auditorium at 4 pm. Millions of your tax dollars will be distributed without the input of the residents unless you show up or call in. Millions for pet projects under very secretive circumstances. One city in particular is going to get royally skrewed.

  177. Riddle me this…the city of Palmdale has a budget deficit forecast of $4 million in 2027 and $15 million in 2028, yet they are going to give the city of Lancaster $10 million dollars for an event center at the fairgrounds? This makes sense how? Apparently when the city council in Palmdale is bought and paid for by Lancaster bad financial decisions are made.

    They need to be held accountable.

    • Why would the Palmdale City Council care? They will not be around in 2027 or 2028 to fix their selling out. Larry Chimbole is flipping over in the grave.

      • Larry Chimbole and all the former leaders of Palmdale, living and deceased, would not have allowed this to happen. This is what you get when you get a bunch of politicians who take dirty money from the dirty Lancaster mafia.

  178. Why is the Palmdale city council sending $10 million to Lancaster for their event center at the fairgrounds? We know that Loa, Ohlson, Alacarn and Bishop took campaign money from Rexx and Marve. But to sell out their residents for campaign money? Sick.

    • Ohlson and Alacarn will both be in the State Senate by then and like Carrillo they don’t give a flip.They just want to move up to the State party in charge and ride the partisan train to nowhere.

  179. The pillaging of Palmdale’s coffers continues by Wrecks and his hand-picked puppets. Now they are taking $10 million taxpayer dollars for their AV Fair event center, which they are trying to pass off as an evacuation center.

    There will be a joint city council meeting with Lancaster’s city council and Lancaster’s puppets who sit on the Palmdale city council on Monday, July 31 at the Lancaster controlled Antelope Valley College auditorium. It is there where Palmdale’s council will continue to sell out their residents and send another $10 million to Lancaster for this event center. Lancaster is promising them that it will “serve the residents of the City of Palmdale in times of emergencies that may happen to occur.”

    After bilking the state for $20 million for a “resiliency” center Lancaster assistant city manager Trolis Niebla let the cat out of the bag what it really was: “It’s just going to be an amazing facility, truly an unrivaled place to have an event in the Antelope Valley.”

    Palmdale residents, you are getting royally screwed. Can there be an emergency center any farther from Palmdale than the fairgrounds? Doesn’t Palmdale use its rec centers for emergencies? Why would they send $10 million to Wrecks and his puppets so they can throw parties?

    Here is the agenda. Show up to the meeting and tell Wrecks and Marv to keep their hands off Palmdale’s money, and tell Loa, Bishop, Alacarn and Ohlson that if they go along with this they will face the wrath of the voters.
    https://docs.google.com/gview?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpalmdale.granicus.com%2FDocumentViewer.php%3Ffile%3Dpalmdale_5dd82a55cd9b69bfd13ff3da44c771ff.pdf%26view%3D1&embedded=true

    • Thank you for this information. I’ll be watching. How can the Palmdale council in good conscience give $10 million dollars to Lancaster for an event center masquerading as an evacuation center? They can’t be that dumb. Or are they that corrupt?

    • This is why the Palmdale Auto dealers killed the convention center being developed in Palmdale? Marvin controls them and now it makes sense. He supports tax sharing and the auto dealers support the event center at the fairgrounds because that they already are a very big sponsor of the fairgrounds. I will never buy another car at their auto mall! Carmax rules!

    • Hey Ace, will you be at the joint meeting? The Supe will be there. She’d love to hear from you.

  181. Did anyone get a letter-sized postcard from Rep. Mike Garcia? It was covered with a list of his “accomplishments” and I tossed it.

    But, I wondered how many “accomplishments” Garcia took credit for that he didn’t vote for. It’s a republican thing to do around the country. Biden has called them out on it.

    Republicans are the type of guys who want to split the check equally when a group is at a restaurant. Better order the lobster as you’ll end up paying for it anyway. Next time some guy wants to split the check, ask if he’s a republican.

    They voted “NO” on the infrastructure bill but show up to take credit at groundbreaking ceremonies. Garcia’s postcard didn’t list House bill numbers, just dollar amounts for various things.

    I don’t trust Garcia. He voted to overturn the election and my vote. He voted “NO” on the 2nd impeachment and “NO” on the House investigation of 1/6. We needed a military pilot to do that???

    He is no better than Marjorie Taylor Greene or Matt Gaetz. The Antelope Valley is represented by Kevin McCarthy and Mike Garcia. If you have any complaints, that’s why. Tell them. Oh, and Rex Parris.

    In other news, i caught the credits at the end of a Frasier episode last night and the name Mary Fukutu caught my eye. She was also a producer of Cheers. Say her name out loud. Reminds me of a troll here a few years ago with the username “Jack S.”. He stopped posting after I wrote to say his hame out loud.

    Then, there was another troll “Sonya” who wrote “Pussy” at the bottom of her comment. She unwittingly made her post look like that was her signature. So, I called her that from then on.

    And so it goes. The fools gather here to get spanked. They make it so easy. Ask Donkey Loyalist.

    • Did Garcia leave cocaine in the White House?
      Was he found guilty of fraud for using $800K from a fake charity for his own personal use like Corrine Brown of FL?

      Is he on probation for corruption like Dem. Mark Ridley Thomas?

      Did he do time for soliciting sex with a minor like Robert Dechene? D

      Was he was found guilty on seven counts of violating US House rules by improperly using her staff to campaign for her, destroying the evidence and tampering with witness testimony like Laura Richardson, D?

      Was he guilty of fraud for using $750,000 of campaign money to buy personal items such as stuffed animals, elk heads and fur capes like Jesse Jackson, Jr. D?

      I can do this all day, William. But my garden needs tending and I’ve wasted enough time trying to talk sense to a partisan hack.

      • When you reach 91 convictions in Democratic administrations, come back and tell us. Of course, you can’t, you won’t.

        If you want to include everyone, please include all the crooked republicans in the orange states.

        Do you know who left cocaine in the White House? Please tell us. Typical MAGA which thinks alleagations are EVIDENCE.

        There is no comparison between the 2 parties. That you try to make it so shows how dishonest you.

        Trump (R) alone had done far more and far worse than those you listed above.

        Not even a nice try. Now get back to your garden. You aren’t doing well here.

        • The republican lieutenant governor Ken Paxton in Texas has been indicted for securities fraud if you want to go statewide. I’m sure there’s more but I was talking administrations and you changed the subject.

          I made a comparison of the Ds and Rs administtrations and it came out to 91R to 1D. Now, if you want to go local, you have to compare Ds and Rs across the country in state or local offices.

          Again, you won’t. You can’t.

          Maybe you should just stay to gardening and out of politics. That way you don’t have to separate the “dirt” into 2 piles. a huge republican mound and a little Democratic pile.

          • “I made a comparison of the Ds and Rs administtrations and it came out to 91R to 1D. Now, if you want to go local, you have to compare Ds and Rs across the country in state or local offices.“

            Well,
            If you see what’s been going on with the hunter case, you’d know why, 2 tier justice system + lawfare for years…

            Don’t get me wrong, repubs are weaklings and don’t fight with the same vigor that the Marxist do.

        • I’m exposing you as a partisan hack, and getting weeds out of my garden. If we could only get the weeds out of your thinking we’d be making progress.

          Maybe you were a donor to people like Mark Ridley Thomas, Nancy Pelosi (grifter…just ask her husband how much he’s made), Katie Hill (although schlepping a staffer isn’t as bad as all the financial corruption of Conyers, Curren Price, et. al).

          I never said the Republicans weren’t corrupt. They have a ton, including two meglomaniacs in Trump and Parris. I also never said I was a Republican.

          Open your eyes, William. Open your eyes.

          • You are an independent hack. The worst kind of hack. It some ways, you are worse than the MAGAs.

            When you go to the can, it takes you 5 to 10 minutes to decide whether to sit or stand to do your business.

            At least we know where MAGAs stand. You and your ilk play both sides and stand for nothing.

            I’m dealing with another one like you elsewhere and it’s the same gd thing with you guys. Pointless. You make invalid comparisons and think that flies.

            Go to a forum of all independents and see how silly y’all are. I’d love to observe that clusterfest.

            Now, get off you high horse. You don’t even know how to ride.

          • No William. An Independent hack is nothing like a partisan hack. Partisan hacks can see no fault in their precious party when fault is obvious. I give credit where it is due regardless of party affiliation. I also call out candidates regardless of party. It’s very freeing as I am not bound to either the Donkeys or Elephants.

          • Look Donkey

            We know Democrats do bad things. Ask Anthony Wiener or Al Franken or Rod Blagojevich. Democrats are better at cleaning house even if it hurts them politically. Not so with republicans.

            Then, there’s Trump, George Santis and various other republicans who raise money off their bad behavior.

            That you equate the 2 parties says a lot about you and your inability to distinguish between 2 very dissimilar things.

            You would eat the yellow snow, wouldn’t you? It’s still snow in your world. There’s no difference.

            You’ve proven nothing other than your limited thinking about this topic. You ARE a hack calling yourself independent. I’m a Democrat and if that makes biased so what?

            Your pretense of being “objective” is false.

        • William, Trump is corrupt to his core.
          No, I do not know who left cocaine in the White House. But they know and are keeping silent. If they don’t know, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. There are cameras everywhere 24/7.

          Keep drinking the kool aid.

          • Changing the subject again, Donkey Loyalist.

            You lost that round comparing corruption, so you switch gears. Is that how independents work?

            That right there is why I’m fed up with independents and you are the poster boy.

      • Donkey Loyalist

        I compared republican and Democratic ADMINISTRATIONS since 1970 with regard to indcitments and convictions…apples to apples.

        That you thoughtlessly tried to compare local and state conduct of Democrats and only Democrats shows that you aren’t an honest debater.

        Like I said before, when you get up to 91 Democrats in Democratic administrations convicted. bring it.

        You aren’t worth discussing this further.

        • Once again William, I have not nor am I defending the Republicans. There are many, many repulsive corrupt ones out there. Lancaster is a breeding ground for them. What I am doing is pointing to the coral of corrupt Democrats of which there are many. You refuse to see, so it is difficult for me to take you completely seriously, as you are obviously jaded. Have a nice life with your head in the sand.

          • Nice Try, Donkey.

            I compared the 2 administstations since 1970 and you did something else. You are dishnoest and that s that.

            Sure, there are crooked Democrats, but they are nothing compared to the wholesale corruption of the republican party from Rex to Trump.

            Play blind man all you want but the facts remain. The republicans are infinitely worse.

            If you can’t tell the diddfence between Trump’s criminal and worse behavior compared to Clinton/ Lewinsky for example. you have your head up your behind.

            We are dealihng with republicans in a fact free world and you have joined them pretending to be an objective independent or whatever you call yourself this week.

            Now, you’ll go away thinking you are right. You can’t hel it. It’s the design of humans whether or not they are corret.

            Trump thinks he’s ‘RIGHT’ all the time as he lies. You are no different.

          • The point that you seem to be missing, perhaps intentionally, is that William has not disputed the accuracy of any of your “corrupt democrat” mentions. He has just pointed out that they are irrelevant by comparison. Your response, while you claim not to support the GOP, has consisted of the standard “just as bad” nonsense that is page one of the GOP playbook.

            Let me try an analogy.

            There are two sailors on a ship, and the captain needs to promote one, so he does. The guy he promotes was five minutes late for a deck watch once, so the guy who doesn’t get the promotion throws a fit, raving about how the guy that was late shouldn’t get a promotion. When he is reminded of the time that he fell asleep on deck watch and savage natives boarded the ship, killed five crewmen, and set the ship on fire, he says “well, we’re both bad I guess so maybe neither of us is deserving…”

          • Here is a List of Republicans Charged/Convicted of Sex Crimes
            Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert was indicted on federal charges of structuring bank withdrawals after prosecutors alleged Hastert had molested at least four boys as young as 14 and attempted to compensate his victims and subsequently conceal the transactions. Hastert eventually admitted that he sexually abused the boys whom he had coached decades earlier, and was sentenced to fifteen months in prison.

            Republican Tim Nolan, chairman of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in Kentucky, pled guilty to child sex trafficking and on February 11, 2018 he was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison. Republican state Senator Ralph Shortey was indicted on four counts of human trafficking and child pornography. In November 2017, he pleaded guilty to one count of child sex trafficking in exchange for the dropping of the other charges.

            Republican anti-abortion activist Howard Scott Heldreth is a convicted child rapist in Florida.

            Republican County Commissioner David Swartz pleaded guilty to molesting two girls under the age of 11 and was sentenced to 8 years in prison.

            Republican judge Mark Pazuhanich pleaded no contest to fondling a 10-year old girl and was sentenced to 10 years probation.

            Republican anti-abortion activist Nicholas Morency pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography on his computer and offering a bounty to anybody who murders an abortion doctor.

            Republican legislator Edison Misla Aldarondo was sentenced to 10 years in prison for raping his daughter between the ages of 9 and 17.

            Republican Mayor Philip Giordano is serving a 37-year sentence in federal prison for sexually abusing 8- and 10-year old girls.

            Republican campaign consultant Tom Shortridge was sentenced to three years probation for taking nude photographs of a 15-year old girl.

            Republican Senator Strom Thurmond, a notable racist, had sex with a 15-year old black girl which produced a child.

            Republican pastor Mike Hintz, whom George W. Bush commended during the 2004 presidential campaign, surrendered to police after admitting to a sexual affair with a female juvenile.

            Republican legislator Peter Dibble pleaded no contest to having an inappropriate relationship with a 13-year-old girl.

          • Hey, Tim Scott

            That was a good story and it sounds similar to the Hunter Biden scandal is as bad (republicans say the worst in history) as Trump’s multiple indictments.

            Remember the saying “He don’t know chit from Shinola”. That applies to Donkey.

            If the Rs decide to expunge Trump’s 2 impeachments, I wonder if the Democrats can add Clinton’s impeachment to the list just to hear what they say about it kinda like a poison pill.

            As you can see, I’ve had it with independents who are still undecided as they enter the polling booth on election day.

            i recall people in one of the Iowa caucuses saying that to reporters on the day of the caucus.

            Independents should have to use the supermarket checkout line that only allows for checks, so they have to wait behind each them. The reason I say that is that I’ve too often seen somone wait until the total is added to finally pull out their checkbook to start writing. Likely an independent.LOL

            It’s actually fine to be an independent voter but when they say there’s no difference between the 2 parties, they should take those thoughts to an intependent forum and discuss it with each other. That’s if there’s anything to discuss.

          • William, “There are more big cities in California than there are in Idaho.”

            Donkey Loyalist, “What about Boise?”

            There you have it. That reply doesn’t make sense. He might as well say Cheyenne. I know. I know.

          • Tim Scott, the Democratic crimes may be irrelevant to you and William, but they were very relevant to the courts.

          • We’re are on the precipice of the largest political scandal in the history of the United States and these two are saying the democrats are pure as the driven snow…

            Can’t make this stuff up. Congress is about to uncover anywhere up to 50 million dollars from China Ukraine and other foreign countries were brought into the Biden family in the form of bribes and to affect policy.

            I mean the guy is literally telling Ukraine that if they didn’t fire the prosecutor that was looking into all of this, you’re not getting the billion dollars.

            And these two knuckleheads are ass up and heads in the sand…

          • What is the matter with you Donkey Loyalist?

            Democrats and republicans have been convicted. It’s just that republicans way out number the Democrats when it comes to corruption.

            You just tried to compare a handful of Democrats who we’ve never heard of to 91 republicans convicted in Rs administrations to 1 Democratic conviction.

            You are being dishonest and you won’t give it up.

            How many different ways to we have to make that point before you get it.

          • Hey, White Owl

            Monica was a consenting adult. You voted for the guy who would grab your wife’s, daughter’s, sister’s, mother’s pu$$y. And, you’d thank him for it.

            Who else wants to play Whack a Mole?

          • @Devon Archer

            Once again, the clown car hearing behind closed doors so the republicans can spin it like a lathe, provided no evidence that Joe Biden knew of Hunter’s business dealings.

            His testimony is of no help to the republicans. Oh, they’ll lie and make wild allegations but still no EVIDENCE.

            Republicans deny all proven, documented evidence on Trump.
            Republicans pull imaginary evidence out of their behinds on Biden.

            I wouldn’t shake hands with them after all that pulling they do.

          • Clinton took advantage of a young woman who had a crush on him. Trump is a creep. Biden likes to sniff girls. At least Obama and Bush Jr. weren’t pervs. They got them going for them.

      • Hey Donkey

        Garcia voted to overturn an election on 1/6 and not do an investigation and no on impeachment for Trump for inciting 1/6.

        And, you think a bag of cocaine works to excuse Garcia or whatever you were thinking if you call that thinking.

        You are hopeless.

        • He thought the election was fraudulent. There has been no credible proof to prove that the 2020 election was fraudulent or stolen. I think that is clear now, but perhaps not clear to people like him at that moment. There were wild accusations, many still coming from Trump, and they may have believed him. They were all wrong.

        • Donkey Loyalist.

          You wrote, “Tim Scott, the Democratic crimes may be irrelevant to you and William, but they were very relevant to the courts.

          But, by the same token, 91 to 1 republican convictions to Democrtic convictions is irrelevent to you as far as presidential administrations go but not the courts. You changed the subject.
          You keep trying to come at from different directions but fail each time.

          How many different ways does that have to be explained to you before you get it?

          You blundered and you just won’t give it up.

          • William, all I have done is to fail to crack through your partisan skull with facts. It is impossible to reason with a hard core partisan like yourself. This is why the country is such a mess. Partisans on both sides refuse to take responsibility for their actions. The country will continue to spiral downward with exploding debt, crime, decaying infrastructure, high energy costs, and such, while the two parties line their pockets at the expense of the people.

            You are not worth my time.

          • Oh my dear William. As the late great Mark Twain so eloquently stated, “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you.”

            When I stoop to your level of partisan thought, you win.

            I left partisan politics a long time ago. It is freeing and refreshing not to be beholden to any political party, but instead to support the thoughts, ideas, and candidates regardless of party affiliation.

          • If you are gonna quote Twain, get it right.

            Meanwhile, the purpose of political parties is that no one has, or at least wants to take, the time to “get to know” the actual beliefs of every candidate on every issue. We collectively count on them, when they get into office, to generally follow the party platform. Currently, the GOP platform is “whatever Trump says, goes.” Until that changes, straight democrat is the only sane way to vote.

          • Yes, Tim, I omitted the words with experience because it seems William’s only experience is being a Democrat apologist. He’s not very good, either. He’s good at defending the Democrats, but fails, like most partisan hacks, to see the failures. Surely you, a Democrat, can even see where there are failings among candidates, right?

          • William already acknowledged that, repeatedly. The one that seems to be blinded by partisanship is you

          • “the GOP platform is “whatever Trump says, goes.” Until that changes, straight democrat is the only sane way to vote”

            It’s called America First

          • Oh, Tim, not you too. I am an Independent. I don’t belong to either party. I see the failures of Republicans and Democrats. When anyone refuses to see the wrong in their own party, there is nothing I nor anyone can do to help. They are blindly partisan. I am not. I vote for candidates of all parties, including those outside the powerful two.

            Is everyone here that partisan? I need to leave. William will be happy. He doesn’t take the truth very well. Maybe it is best if he lives in his fantasy world of Democratic bliss, as Frank Rizzo does in his MAGA world.

            Buh bye.

          • Tim, please explain how I am a partisan when I find fault in both Republicans and Democrats and am politically an independent? You and William have different definitions of partisanship that what I see in the dictionary: partisanship: the quality or action of strongly supporting a person, principle, or political party, often without considering or judging the matter very carefully.

            I agree with most of what you two say about Trump and Republican candidates who deserve criticism. I also find fault with many Democrats and that is where all of a sudden I am a “partisan”? That makes zero sense.

  182. Some very sad news out of Lancaster, thanks to the Get Parris Out of Lancaster Facebook page. It looks like Wrecks is running for mayor again. Four more years of corruption, wasted tax dollars on pet projects that fail, no bid contracts, good old boys getting their palms greased, homeless mistreated, rising crime, continued blight.

    Why the voters of Lancaster continue to elect this fool who does nothing but serve himself is beyond reason. But we get what we deserve in Lancaster if we keep voting him in. As the saying goes, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.

      • No surprise there, you always honor corruption. Presumably, you are a beneficiary of the Wrecks cabal.

      • Sadly, Wrecks has a lot of votes. Lancaster voters are not among the brightest or have the cleanest hands. The churches alone who have benefited from Wrecks and the Cabal’s favors should repent of their sins and make their paths straight. You cannot serve God and Money.

      • He’s got your vote Bee and damn near every vote from the faithful flock at Lancaster Babtist, Grace and the other Wrecks supporting churches. Sheep led by shepherds who bow down the the Fern Street altar.

    • Get Parris Out of Lancaster is the best page on Facebook for reading about Parris and his antics. The local papers never have the will to write anything negative about him and he’s got quite a track record of lies, deals, and stupid ideas.

    • Now Rx is bilking Palmdale out of $10 million dollars for his party center at the fair. He is insatiable.

  183. It’s quite amazing that with all their lying, cheating, voter suppression, gerrymandering., fake electors, dark money and so on, the MAGAs lost the Congress in 2018, the White House in 2020 and had a wimpy red wave in 2022 which left Speaker McCarthy neutered. With all their trying they are losers. Trump is a loser and he’s far ahead in the polls. You can make this chit up. They did. Did I mention 3 and possibly more indictments?

    So, a 3-time loser with 3 indictiments and 2 impeachments is the best you can do, IT’S OVER.

    Right now, Mitt Romney is telling donors not to contribute to Trump. Chris Christie is going after Trump and Desantis. Desantis keeps shooting himself in the “feets” with those white boots on too. The rest of the hopefuls are so inept, yet they are going to win in their minds. They are like lottery ticket holders waiting, waiting, waiting for Jack Smith or Fani Willis to do their work for them and get him convicted. What courage they show.

    Have you ever seen a party disintigrate before your eyes like the late GOP? It’s like a clown on fire. You don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

    Hunter Biden has far more integrity than the entire bunch of republicans and you know it.

    • Trump is dirty. Biden is dirty. How about having the both of them sit out the next five elections and give us someone to vote for who is not a meglomaniac or senile? No Clintons, Bushs, Harris, McCarthy, AOC, Greene, Cruz, etc. Is that asking too much?

      • You seem unable to distinguish between dissimilar things.

        Remember those tests in school that asked, “Which one of these is not like the others? You must have failed.

        Did you vote for Trump? You didn’t list him in the dirty, senile, megalomaniac category where he belongs. How did you miss that?

        • Oops. You’re right. Trump is dirty but the comparisons fail after that. AOC is nothing like Green. Nobody is like Cruz.

          McCarthy or Pelosi. Which one has a pair?

          The republican party has gone mad. See my post above. For all their faults, the Democrats don’t come close to the Rs when it comes to outright corruption and acting in ways that are antithetical to this country’s founding.

          And, it’s not just nationally. Here in the Antelope Valley, we have a dirty megalomaniac running things for his benefit.

          Biden is not senile. He knows who won the election. He has managed the economy well considering what he had to deal with during the transition and the opposition from the far right in Congress. He is Dark Brandon.

          He’s handled the war in Ukraine well. Sweden is in NATO while the other guy wanted to weaken NATO.

          Inflation and gas prices have been coming down, better than the rest of the world. Biden has managed to get some bi-partisan bills passed that republicans in their hypocritical way want credit for though voting against them.

          So, you see. There is really no comparison.

          • William, you are blind to the Democrats corruption, incompetence and failures. You see clearly the faults of Republicans, and I commend you for that. You fail to acknowledge the faults of the Democrats and for that, you cannot be taken objectively.

          • William, you are 100 percent correct that we have a local corrupt Republican meglomaniac who controls everything. What you failed to address is that he is a major contributor to local and state Democrats. In fact he funded Eric Ohlsen, Andrea Alacarn and Juan Carillo.

            Inflation was the result of Biden’s flooding the money supply. Gas prices are still too high and far above the levels when Trump was president. For the record, I do not support Trump at all. But it was a fact.

            The federal debt and deficit continue to grow under Biden, as it did under Trump, Obama, Bush, etc. We have not had a candidate with the nads to address it. This will come back to bite hard in the not too distant future.

            If you don’t think Biden is senile, you aren’t listening to him. He may not be in the latter stages of it, but he is on the way. Well on the way. It is sad and very concerning.

            He has, however, done an excellent job with the war in Ukraine. Our troops are not involved and NATO is unified. Whomever is directing him is doing well.

          • Listen Blind Loyalist, no one is claiming “democrats have no faults.” Somewhere around here William mentions that a GOP lead congressional investigation actually produced charges and a conviction…once. He didn’t claim that was a frame up or a witch hunt or anything like that. He just pointed out what should be obvious, even to you; that eighty plus convictions of republicans, and counting, is not really comparable to one. Just like seditious conspiracy against the US, and obstruction of justice trying to cover up the conspiracy, is not really equivalent to obstruction of justice trying to avoid admitting to cheating on your wife (which isn’t a crime, much less being outright treasonous).

          • Here ya go, Donkey Loyalist

            I’m posting this again. It’s objective if that what you like. I’ll understand if you don’t reply.

            I’ll acknowledge that there was 1 (ONE) DEMOCRATIC CONVICTION, but you have to acknowledge that there were 91 REPUBLICAN CONVICTIONS or go away.

            “Democratic presidencies dating back to 1970 have produced exactly one criminal conviction from investigations into the administration. Republican presidencies have had a total of 91.

            It is worth taking a second to let that sink in: three Democratic presidents. Six Republican presidents. Ninety-one convictions to one.”-Huffington Post

        • Actually he did say “Trump is dirty.” This is going to become the standard Republican position. “Sure Trump is dirty, but so are all the democrats.” They are going to try to equate “well Clinton, for example, got investigated and was proven to have had sex” and “the MAGAts in congress made wild accusations about Biden” with Trump being found guilty in court after court of things like trying to overthrow the constitutional republic that has provided our way of life for two and a half centuries and violations of the espionage act as if they are the same thing.

          • I know. I posted another reply right after, but it hasn’t appeared yet.

            These types of comparisons aren’t valid. Greene and AOC???

            Republicans have been comparing different things as though they are the same while saying that similar things are different. It’s a mental thing.

            Clinton/Lewinsky is not the same as Nixon/Watergate, Reagan/Iran-Contra, or Trump/Ukraine/Insurrection. But, it is for republicans.

            Whereas Trump is doing things similar to what Hitler and other despots do and is now campaigning on doing them even more so. His friend is Netanyahu who is doing the same stuff in Israel as well as Erdogan in Turkey. Republicans will deny that while covertly wanting that.

            The real problem however is the 74 million voters who enabled Trump. They were a ready audience waiting for someone like him. Florida has a similar audience that now has Desantis. These guys don’t do it all by themselves. They have help.

            Or, you can just stay home if you can’t make up your mind. It just doesn’t matter.

    • William, William, William. You can’t say Hunter Biden and integrity in the same sentence without the words “has none” in there. You are right about much of what you say about the Republicans, but you are blindly loyal to the Democrats.

      • I was being snarky about Hunter Biden to point out how lacking in integrity the republicans are.

        • I think lack of integrity is not beholden to either party. I find few Republicans or Democrats I can truly look up to.

          • @Donkey Loyalist

            If you think Democrats are as corrupt as republicans, you aren’t seeing(or thinking) clearly.

            Nice try but you need to get educated so you opinions don’t look, well, silly.

            They’re not done yet with the Trump administration. Still counting…..

            Explain to us how you can make such statements without knowing anything. You do have the right to remain silent. Use it.

          • Yes, William, I do think Democrats are as corrupt as Republicans. My mind is open on this issue, unlike yours. Particularly corrupt are the Dems in the LA area. Mark Ridley Thomas, Richard Alacarn, Curren Price, Nary Martinez, Kevin De Leon.

            Even the LA Times covered it. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-10-14/a-guide-to-los-angeles-city-council-scandals

  185. Just saw a genuinely hilarious comment on a news story. Faux News was whipping up outrage about a guy sitting on a balcony hitting a bong. They claimed it was Hunter Biden’s balcony at some Los Angeles apartment building, without bothering to mention that since it was California there was probably nothing illegal going on. Anyway, this guy in the comments says:

    “Yeah, this makes me so glad I never voted for Hunter Biden. Thank goodness he has never been on a ballot or I might have made a mistake.”

    • You are lying like always,
      That’s hunter Biden’s lawyer.

      Don Jr. And Ivanka and Erick and Barron were never on the ballot either, but during the trump administration Marxists like you were non stop bitching.

      Take another bong rip Timmy

      • So it’s his lawyer. Still no crime being committed.

        Meanwhile, Trump’s children were appointed at huge government expense to ‘advisory positions’ in his administration. Any ‘non stop bitching’ that produced is on grifter Trump’s head.

    Aug. 9, 2023: Deadline for Trump’s attorneys to oppose the government’s motion for a protective order over the classified documents at issue in the case. Cannon denied a request from the Justice Department to impose a protective order earlier this week, citing a “lack of meaningful conferral,” after Trump’s lawyers failed to respond to the request. The DOJ will now have until July 27, 2023, to renew its motion for a protective order over the classified materials.

    Aug. 23, 2023: The first Republican presidential debate is scheduled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is currently unknown if Trump will participate, but he has qualified for the debate.
    [It will be interesting to see if Trump doesn’t who for the debate, how the republicans and Fox will attmept to make a big deal if Biden doesn’t debate RFK Jr.* or anyone else. Hypocrisy is a feature of that crew.

    Nov. 3, 2023: Deadline for filing all pretrial motions for either party.

    Dec. 11, 2023: Hearing on pretrial motions brought by either party.

    Jan. 15, 2024: Iowa caucuses are held. The first contest in the Republican presidential primary.

    But, wait. There’s more.

    Trump’s trial date for classified docs case could interfere with presidential campaign

    Trump Classified Document Trial Set for May 2024

    March 20, 2024: Deadline for either party to file any motions in limine, or made at the beginning of the trial.

    March 25, 2024: The trial in Trump’s criminal trial is scheduled to begin in New York. In this case, Trump was charged with allegedly falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments prior to the 2016 election.

    April 17, 2024: Hearing held on motions in limine, or made at the beginning of the trial.

    May 14, 2024: Hearing held on any remaining concerns regarding the Classified Information Procedures Act and the handling of classified materials in the case. During that hearing, a calendar call will be held to schedule the trial and subsequent hearings.

    May 20, 2024: Trial in the classified documents case begins.

    July 15-18, 2024: Republican National Convention is held. The Republican nominee for president for 2024 will be nominated during the convention, which will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

    That looks like a whole season of Perry Mason. Will Melania and the kids be in court with daddy? Maybe if Trump pays them.

    The only question left is “Buttered or plain?”.

    BTW. The dumb republicans were in a big hurry with the Hunter Biden circus with the fugitive witness and questionable whistleblowers. However, it will be old news by next year. Then what? They sure can’t do investigations or govern. But, that’s the MAGAs for ya.

    *Re: RFK Jr. “If he ran as a republican with all of his conspiracies, he’d be ahead of Desantis. RFK Jr. speaks their language.” – former republican congressman David Jolly. Y’see, republicans and Fox are supporting RFK Jr. but so what? The more he talks the worse he gets. Of course, republicans will support him like they do with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz and espccially the Lying Liar Kevin McCarthy.

    They’ve got some really ignorant people in the base that need to be fed. I’m still laughing at the “…hopefuls in their painful holding pattern.” or as they’re called “Single digits”. Of course, a “single digit” can mean other things if you’ve ever driven LA freeways.

    • Absolute Lawfare and election interference once again, I’m glad you can see the pattern here.

  190. The next 15 months will be one loooooong down escalator, Donnie Boy. There are 4 or 5 more indictments scheduled for the stable genius. The rest of the republican hopefuls are in some kind of painful holding pattern.

    I got me some Orville Redenbacher stock and I’m gonna sit back and enjoy this MAGA Burlesque Show. Trump is in good hands…Jack Smith’s.

    Meanwhile, Dark Brandon is having fun with Marjorie Taylor Green’s comparison of him and LBJ. The Biden team made an ad out of it within hours.

    • Weak sauce,

      You even come off as an insufferable boomer who’s company can only be kept by a gaggle of cats.

      Meow meow William, Feed us meow
      Be better.

      • “Yawn”. Careful Frank Rizzo. With you mouth wide open, your foot will soon find its way there soon.

        You and Beecee need to get a room. A padded room with a drain in the floor.

  191. Credible whistle blowers: The treasonous Bidens sold out our country to bribes from enemies like Russia, China, Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan, etc.

    Democrats response: Hey, look over there. Now look over there. Trump, slavery, Trump, black BS, Trump, white oppression, Trump’s kids, black BS, black, black, black, ad nauseam, ad nauseam, ad nauseam.

    • Standard MAGAt nonsense. Wants everyone to look at “credible whistle blower,” which is a MAGAt with not a shred of evidence backing up their claims. Meanwhile, wants us to ignore the cases against Trump, which at this point have been investigated thoroughly with mountains of evidence produced, numerous fellow conspirators of Trump properly found guilty, and a complete lack of defenses put up by Trump. In most cases Trump actually publicly acknowledges committing the crime.

      • More “look over there”. More “Trump did it”. The whistle blower is a gay Democrat, lolol. You have no credibility and your misdirection and deflection is pathetic and tiresome. Your criminal communist BLM Antifa transsexual allies want to destroy the country, and you promote their policies.

        • Yeah, sure. Instead of looking at another GOP red herring ‘congressional investigation’ where GOP congress members spout fact free soundbites for Fox while not under oath, let’s look at COURTS, where people under oath are testifying.

          Meanwhile, grand juries examining evidence seem to consistently say that there is evidence that crimes have been committed, and that Trump seems likely enough to have committed them to justify giving him a trial. His response to indictments, so far, has been basically “yeah I did that but…,” which probably exasperates his lawyers since it makes him impossible to defend in court. He is rightly in danger of going to prison, and the fact that some 35% of the electorate thinks “no big deal, let’s make him the president” is frankly disgusting.

          • Grand juries by design in New York and Washington DC where %90+ folks voted for democrats….

            All by design, it’s called lawfare, and you know it.

          • Actually, charges were brought by a grand jury in Florida. But keep on telling yourself whatever makes you feel good and ignoring the facts.

      • No evidence?

        They produced nothing but evidence the whole hearing, them under oath risking lying to congress says a thing or two.

        And did you see that new lame congressman/layer basically solidify Biden knowing about his sons business dealing, even though he lied about it multiple times?

        Of course not, cause your a woman

          • “We aren’t interested in whether or not the accusations against Vice President Biden are accurate or not,” -Sen. Chuck Grassley

            You see, Beeceekins. Chuck and Commer and Jordan and the whole lot of them are just doing this to feed you more BS. You seem to like it.

            “Open wide for Chunky”

        • They produced testimony, not evidence. There has been nothing produced to corroborate their statements, most of which do not even relate to crimes even if they are true. That’s why GOP congress members are more interested in making headlines out of dick pics than they are in actually trying to prove anything, or make a case that could be turned over for prosecution. Standard GOP lead “investigation.” They produce a lot of sound bites for Fox, and no useful information; “Whitewater!!!” “but her e-mails!” “Benghaaaazzzziiiii!!!” “Durham go find something, please please please!” on and on and on… Meanwhile, when the Democrats conduct hearings they seem to inevitably get prosecutions and convictions.

        • Tim’s mom above isn’t telling the truth. Typical.

          Jim Jordan confused “special counsel” with “special attorney” and tried to say the AG GArland lied. Excuse me. He did say he lied.

          I watched some of the hearing and heard that distinction made several times. But, rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth Jordan kept running with the wrong term. Typical. He’s stupid.

          As for your assertion that “They produced nothing but evidence the whole hearing…”

          ALLEGATIONS, OPINIONS, SPECULATIONS, SUSPICIONS, AND DISAGREEMENTS AREN’T EVIDENCE. Only in MAGAland.

          Got that? Of course not.

          Now go away, Tim’s mom and don’t come back till you’ve gotten things accurate. Or you can just get a new usernaem. You’ve shown us how you think and it doesn’t speak well of you.

          You are Beecee, right? The Antelope Valley Girl with no friends. no education, no chit. Don’t worry. She don’t read more than a half dozen words, no how, no way. So, she won’t see this.

      • All the indictments and no jail time and or successful impeachments. Again dim Snot liars don’t figure and figures don’t lie. Lying Biden has a proven track record of plagiarism and lying , but you liberals just can’t seem to use facts. Bidens time is coming , his stand up citizen of a son who just plead guilty to charges is on his way out too. Oh and by the way Hunter likes to text people from his Obama phone, he also likes to mention his dad while threatening people , at some point you have to just go maybe this dude and his son who doesn’t pay child support and the lame grandpa who won’t even acknowledge his own blood are actually not great people. Remember when you were all crying no mean tweets and our feelings are hurt? I do.

        • LOL…I’ve been wondering how long it would take for the “he’s never been indicted” crowd to morph into the “he’s never been convicted” crowd. You are just like Tweedledumb commenting on the Jan 6th conspirators. She went through the whole spectrum; from “no one’s been arrested” to “but no one’s been convicted” to “well it’s all just trespassing no one’s been charged with sedition” to “no one’s been convicted of sedition” and all I ever had to say was “yet.” Now she’s back to whining out insults and wishing her hubby wasn’t too busy chasing a trophy to fight for her ‘honor.”

          • Yawn

            At least I married my partner…

            What do you call yours, a life partner, and your children are literally dogs, that’s the liberal way ain’t it?

          • LOL…my children are adults. You should quit embarrassing your parents and try being one.

          • LOL…the only thing that being married gets you is access to a state issued referee in the event that you split up and can’t sort out your own issues. Obviously that is really important in Tweedledumb’s case, since whatever poor sap she has her hooks in is probably looking for an out and he can count on her being the poster child for vindictive ex that doesn’t even want anything beyond the bringing of pain to all involved. But it is of no importance in my relationships.

          • Every time Beee/Beecee/B/Be thinks about Tim Scott or me, she touches herself. Hubby doesn’t care. It gives him a break from her.

            Imagine being married to a female who spends all her time surfing right wing conspiracy websites and arguing with anonymous men on the “internets”.
            What a catch she was. She can’t cook. She can’t clean. She can’t think for herself. And, she isn’t good for the other “thing” either.

            You would want a break from her. He probably has his own pleasures on the side too.

            She’s lost the political debates she came here for so she just posts “Yawn” or “Lame” which is an accurate description of herself. She can’t read more than a few words before her brain overheats. Don’t worry as she can’t read this far.

            She thinks she’s “cool”. Really? Really?

            She is a handmaiden after all with little value in her life but being married. Trump is married and I guess that’s her model for marriage. Cosby is married. OJ was married. It’s an interesting institution but that’s all Beecee has.

            As for children. Rabbits have children. Snakes have children. Many non-human life forms have children. It’s not a big deal except for Beecee. That’s all she has. Nothing else. Imagine having Beecee a s amother. Yikes! Beecee Dearest.

            Thank you Devinyls. Great song and video. RIP Chrissy Amphlett.

        • Look Fool. You are what happens when cousins marry. Do you have hemophilia, perhaps?

    • Democrats are the party of division, always have been. Remember when the Democratic party was nothing but Southern slave owners? Pepperidge farms remember s. Democrats are criminals, ask my friend Tim.

          • Oh, Bernie.

            Youth as depicted by Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert.

            I’ll take Mitch McCannoll and Diane Feinstein over those 3 any day or night.

            You better think twice or thrice before you comment, Bernie.

            I love Whack a Mole. Don’t you, Bernie, on the receiving end?

        • Slavery talk and reparation are all over the place now. Maybe the Democratic party should pay up? I know that sounds ridiculous, but you did make great point, Tim. How old are we? The Democrats of today should not have to pay for the sins of the Democrats of old. Each candidate, regardless of party should be judged on their stands on topic, and actions.

    • Every time a MAGA claims Democrats are doing something corrupt, it’s actually something Maga Republicans are doing. Classic deflection. Can’t go on forever.

      • This statement is completely correct…

        If you replace ‘MAGA’ with Marxist.

        And replace ‘republicans’
        With democrats.

    • Who do you think “the picketers” are ACE? They are members of SAG/AFTA, and they have varying degrees of success and wealth. I don’t generally read it because I don’t care, but my preferred news aggregator feeds me some kind of ‘who’s who’ from the picket lines just about every day.

      • You know, Tim, I knew that she was the biggest idiot. They’re post comments on here. I’m a sag member for. Over twenty years so you need to think before you even speak

  193. It’s a freaking gorgeous 75 degrees here in Laguna!!!!!!! What a day!!!! Robbie’s surfing, the drinks are flowing. Stuff it desert dwellers!!! This is where it’s at!!!!!! Surf’s up!!!!!

      • I very much care about the weather in Laguna. Sometimes I get to go there and meet with my boss and he tells me what I have to do and who I have to talk to. I don’t get the free rides in the Cessna anymore but it’s still nice to get away from the desert. I just hope he doesn’t make me wash and wax the Astor Martin. And Robbie makes kick a$$ drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!

          All of this sounds much better than sitting around the house with a hideous ‘life partner’ and smelly animals playing video games and crying on the internet all day.

    • I had a great day with you in Laguna! Remember the juggies on the trampoline, that one that sat on my face by accident, lol.

  194. Rumor is that Marv is leading the discussions for sales tax revenue sharing with the Palmdale Auto Mall and Lancaster Auto Mall. It’s not bad enough that Lancaster has tapped Palmdale for $7.6 for its own projects and programs, but now they are going after sales tax? Next up is a two city merger.

    None of this is good for the residents of Palmdale, or Lancaster for that matter, as they have the same tired leadership making more dumb moves. Is the pension situation that bad in Lancaster?

    • Palmdale will be annexed to Lancaster. We all love rex and this city servants. We will paint the av orange and drink orange juice and eat Cheetos and cheese puffs.

      • Frank is right. That is a very rare occurrence but in this case, he is right. Palmdale is already under Lancaster control. Four of the five council have received substantial money for their campaigns. They have rewarded the Lancaster power brokers by sending $7.6 million dollars back for Lancaster pet projects, installed a sketchy power agreement and soon will pave the way for one city. The Lancaster power brokers will win and the people will lose, just as it has been for decades in Lancaster.

  195. In a post probably made by Tweedledumb we find this [bald faced lie: “Lol, looks like we found the culprit who left the crack sack in the White House.”

    No doubt her “news sources” have now “confirmed” by telling her what she wants to hear, instead of telling her facts. Fact is that the secret service concluded their investigation. With no usable DNA or fingerprints on the package, and hundreds of people having access to where it was found, their investigation ended up with “yeah, who knows?” But of course when there is a lack of facts the RWNJs will claim to know things.

  196. Arizona Brewery Flooded With Negative Reviews for Hosting Kari Lake Event

    “Firetruck Brewing Company has been flooded with negative reviews on Google and Yelp, with one critic insisting they will “never go back” after the brewery hosted an event with Kari Lake. Lake lost the 2022 governor’s race in Arizona but has refused to concede, alleging the election was rigged—a claim which has been rejected multiple times in court.”

    Well, we knew it was coming…PAYBACK.

    • Kari Lake, a pond in Arizona, is toxic and deemed highly hazardous to human (mentall health.

      Noatbly shallow, with an average depth of less than 1 inch, according to the USGS (United States Gomer Survey) it teeters from baren mud flat to cracked-from-the-heat salt flat daily…sometimes multiple times per day.

      Its survival is only through the efforts of locals whose urine and bile is the main source for the toxic liquid filling it.

          • LOL…Why wait for more enemies? According to you and Tweedledumber all your husbands were waiting for was the two of you sussing me out…and that was a couple years ago now. So far you’ve come up with the common knowledge that I used to rob banks, a name that (while I was born with it) I don’t use, and some vandalism at a house I lived in as a child. Awesome crew you’ve put together.

          • I not gonna lay my cards on the table for you fool.

            And your only one always talking about vandalism… rightly so cause your leftist.

            That’s a tactic for you leftist freaks and coffee shop nerds.

  197. Jack Smith might indict Trump in the next week or so. I don’t care about him. I’m just concerncd about his innocent children and in-laws.

        • Well, Ivanka’s husband is apparently cutting a deal to keep the two of them out of jail on the defrauding the US charges that are coming down against dad…

          • Charges for what?

            Looks like Trump’s attempt to overturn the election will be charged as an attempt to deny voting rights of millions of Americans, which is accurate enough. Throw in the usual obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and the conspiracy to defraud the US.

            Thanx for asking.

  202. Congratulations, Lancaster. We made the news again. Looks like the Lancaster sheriff’s department continues to emulate our fearless mayor with his macho bravado and this time took out their aggressions on an African American woman who allegedly has cancer. She did nothing to deserve this. It’s going to be another multi-million dollar settlement, which on top of the millions we’ve paid on account of our mayor’s big fat mouth (War on Section 8, DOJ), puts Lancaster as the leader in squandering money due to complete incompetence.

    The entire Lancaster City Council and Lancaster sheriff’s captain need to resign immediately.

    • What is it about law enforcement that they are seemingly unable to self-correct. There have been numerous excessive force incidents and even deaths and the cops keep on doing what isn’t allowed even when being photographed.

      Are they stupid or stubborn or mentally challnaged somehow?

      What is it?

      • In Lancaster, bullying is part of the culture. It starts at the top with the mayor and vice mayor and has infiltrated everything. Big tough guys. This is hard for them to comprehend, but you can enforce the law without throwing a woman to the ground who was taking video. It is possible.

    • She was a suspect who attacked and robbed the store loss prevention. Then went out with the other suspect who helped her and pretended to be innocent and record when he was arrested. She was pointed out as a felony robbery suspect as well and taken into custody.

      Loss prevention is being blamed for calling and cops are being blamed for catching violent felons. When Winco Foods closes like all other places being robbed, don’t complain when you have to drive 50 miles to go shopping.

  203. Let’s see. McCarthy and Garcia are going to celebrate the Fourth of July tomorrow in honor of an election they voted to overturn.

    Aren’t they precious? The little guys don’t know how foolish they are. I guess that’s what makes a politican running in inland California successful. It must be the heat and stoopid voters too. They voted for Rex Parris too many times for the health of the Antelope Valley.

    So, if you want to complain, these are your guys. Go for it. Biden didn’t eff up Palmdale’s council. Biden didn’t build the blvd to nowhere. It has dead ends at both ends. LOL Biden didn’t do weird stuff with the homeless issue or grift for the Good Ol’ Boys Network.

    What have McCarthy and Garcia done for the Antelope Valley or the Central Valley that couldn’t have been done better by a Democrat, even one who did fun things with 2 other people? The horror. The horror.

    Immigrants didn’t try to overthrow the government on 1/6, crash the economy in 2008, 1987, 1929, or start a misguieded war in Iraq, or be MIA in the month before 9/11, etc., etc. REPUBLICANS DO THOSE THINGS.
    Plus, they failed to convict a impeached president who incited an insurrection. Do republicans have memory loss or have they just lost their minds completely? Is there an answer for that?

    Unfortunately for the country, republicans can’t or won’t admit those things, ignore them or try to blame Democrats. It’s a mental thing. They are “mental” like their brethren and sisteren here at the AVTimes.

    Good news is that eventually they’ll all be arrested, tried and convicted. Good thing republicans built all those private “correctional facilities” for themselves. But not in Texas. No A/C and prisoners are getting sick and dying. In Texas, they are sending DNA kits for school children so as to identify them after a school massacre. How thoughtful of those republicans.

    So how come McCarthy and Garcia aren’t doing the same for kids here? How mean. How unrepublican of them.

  204. The twice-impeached, twice-indicted former president is the leading Republican contender for 2024, but during his first campaign in 2016 he said a president serving while under indictment would “cripple the operations of our government” and create an “unprecedented constitutional crisis,” reported CNN.

    “We could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial,” Trump said during a Nov. 5, 2016, campaign rally in Reno, Nevada. “It would grind government to a halt.”
    ___________________________________________________________

    Trump is an amazing Nostradamus, predicting his own future it seems.

    Who here is going to vote for Trump in the California primary next year? And McCarthy or Garia. A trifecta of liars and traitors. Place your bets, folks.

    Come on, man up and admit it. Of course, if you’re too embarrassed of your own judgement you can hide but we know.

    • Lol you fools. Ill vote for any Republican over a Democrat any day of the week. I don’t care! Have fun giving your money and life to weirdos of the Democrat party.

      • Just so ya know, Frank Rizzo. Your votes for a republican president are useless in California. Isn’t that great? California is a winner-take-all state in the Electoral College.

        I bet you didn’t know that as you don’t seem well educated by your posts.

        So, go ahead and vote for Trump next year in the primaries. You must love losing.

        You would vote for Majorie Taylor Greene is she was the candidate in your district. That says more about you than anything. Jewish lasers and pizza pedophiles are right up your alley.

          • There aren’t any swinging doors left in California…

            The democrats blew them off the hinges a while ago.

          • Then you’re complaining will stop, right?

            Haven’t you noticed that the loudest complainers with the craziest representatives in Congress are from the Red/orange states?

            We all thought those red/orange states were the ideal “American” paradises, yet they are whiners like you.

            So, go to Tennessee and get back to us after a few months, Scott. Okay? Tell us how great it is being around your own kind. Or unkind as the case may be.

            California should be paying MAGAs to move out of state starting with Kevin.
