‘California’s Latest Crime Events Prove Why Prop 36 to Reform Prop 47 is Essential'”AB 109 was the prison ‘diversion’ law that released or dumped thousands of criminals from state prisons onto local jails”
.
Katy Grimes pens an interesting article with time line and clear explanation of how State legislature began releases of convicted felons from state prisons.

Shout out to our wonderful Governor Gavin Newsom. He announced this week that he and his family are giving up the Governor’s mansion in Sacramento for his house in Kent field. Gavin has been a champion of climate change by even going to China and meeting with officials about reducing their green house gases ( I’m sure Xi was fascinated by his visit). Gavin is also supporting a possible tax imposed on drivers per mile they drive. His EV mandates, gas blowers, and getting rid of gas appliances is clear and loved by the Greens. I’m just wondering what these same people think about Gavin’s R/T from his doorstep in Marin County to the State Capitol at 176 miles in his SUV that puts out about 1 pound of CO2 per mile. I’m sure he’ll find excuses to stay home and work remotely like still many city, county and state workers. I guess those private schools in Sacramento can’t compare to the elitist white private schools in Marin where Gavin’s kids would feel more inclusive.
He has not slept one night in the governors mansion and would not let his kids set foot in sacramento.He lives in Napa
Newsom lives in Fair Oaks.
If you can stand it…. here is all the info on Newsom.

He’s a hippocrete and always has been – those that voted for him 2x and against the recall did not do their research and just voted for the incumbent …. sad …. and now he’s going for the WH … Watch out!
This is what California Governors do. When Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was in office, he flew back and forth between Los Angeles and Sacramento almost daily, for a 3+hour daily commute in his private jet. On the rare nights he stayed in Sacramento he slept in a 2,000+ square foot hotel penthouse across the street from the Capitol.
Dick Cheney says he’s voting for Harris in November and Trump “can never be trusted with power again” and “there’s never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is.”
“In addition to backing Harris, Cheney also endorsed Democratic Rep. Colin Allred’s effort to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.”
Who can doubt Cheney’s Republican credentials?
Of course Cheney is voting for Harris. He’s from the long line of politicians that are loyal to the Military Industrial Complex. Along with the Clintons, Obama and Biden, our country has been drained by never-ending wars.
The Republican vs Democrat debate is a distraction. That’s become blindingly obvious. Everyday more Democrats come out to back Trump. Tulsi Gabbard, Robert Kennedy, Alan Dershowitz…who’s going Maga next?
@Doh – your so-called republican credentials are irrelevant. Cheney is still part of the swamp that needs draining. But you have given us another reason to vote against Harris.
Trump is the swamp.
Is that the best you’ve got, Concord Guy?
Maybe you can throw in a “so’s your old man!”
Does your mother wear combat boots?
Does this endorsement come with an invitation to go hunting with him?
DOH,
.
This is only further proof that the Democratic Party and Republican Party are in the process of morphing and realigning into new parties with new and different constituencies. Former Vice President Dick Cheney is now voting for the same people who want him tried for “war crimes.”
.
We also have to look at former Vice President Dick Cheney’s anger at Wyoming Republican voters, who first didn’t support his daughter, Liz Cheney Perry of the Commonwealth of Virginia, in her attempted 2014 run for a US Senate seat in the State of Wyoming, which forced her to drop out of the race, his anger at the Wyoming Republican Party for voting his daughter out of the party, and his anger at Wyoming Republican voters for voting Congresswoman Liz Cheney Perry out of office, out of the “Cheney District,” which Dick Cheney himself once occupied. Former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Congresswoman Liz Cheney have both been publicly rebuked by the voters of the State of Wyoming.
.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s Republican Party is dead and gone, this is his last gasp at trying to injure the new incarnation of the Republican Party in the hopes of his Republican Party being reincarnated and returned to power.
.
If former Vice President Dick Cheney truly believes “Trump can never be trusted with power again” and “there’s never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is,” he should first look in the mirror at himself, so that he can recognize, accept, and take responsibility for the damage that he did to the country. His daughter, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney Perry, needs to do the same.
Well…. actually, I’d also like to see him tried, convicted and maybe even horribly maimed — for war crimes. His lies and back room billion-dollar deals with the war machine industry killed and maimed an entire generation of our soldiers…men and women.
Doh, Dick Cheney lost his Republican credentials long ago, around the time of his heart transplant. He has so much $$ he doesn’t care what kinda disaster 4 more yrs of a Harris administration will create. Remember the swamp?
Sarcasm? Cheney is a Dolt.
Dick Cheney?
He’s that guy that shot and killed an attorney by mistake while quail hunting.
I’d give that guy a wide berth.
THE FEARLESS SPECTATOR,
.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney didn’t kill Harry Whittington, who died last year, in his 2006 shooting while hunting, but he did pepper his face pretty good.
One pellet nearly struck his heart, he was lucky, but lets remember, it was an accident!
Cheney thought Harry was a quail.
If Dick Cheney was on fire I would not even bother to pee on him to put out the flames.
Who even gives a duck’s butt about the old has been?
AQMD – these Spare the Air Days (STA) are a farce and those on the board need to be replaced, and those nominating them to the board need to be replaced. For several years I’ve taken them to task in trying to find out what quantitative criteria they use in declaring STA days… turns out they don’t! not Purple Air, etc.. it’s subjective! I spoke to their management several times and they just say they use “various input” – but won’t specifically say what – they admitted NOT using Purple Air or comparable. During this week’s 2 day STA the entire Bay Area was “green” (which is good air quality) except for a couple areas in South Bay that were temporarily Yellow (Caution)… imho we need to really challenge Bay Area AQMD

National Fraternal Order of Police endorses Trump.

Law enforcers support a felon? My golly! Law and order crowd really have theirs priorities in place.
Then what are Creepy Joe & Hunter? Convict’s in waiting? OK Joe will Pardon Hunter, but who will Pardon him?
That’s weak Paul.
Everyone knows the charges against Trump are bullsh*t and will be thrown out and we all know the motive to convict Trump was so that the left’s minions could use the “convicted felon” chant as a cheap shot over and over until the election.
I know it, you know it & the police know it.
Hold me back Mr Mayor! Hold me back! 😠
PAUL,
.
Since the National Fraternal Order of Police chose to endorse former President Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance over Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz, doesn’t that really show us how poorly they view the Harris/Walz ticket, and possibly the entire Democratic Party itself, with a former San Francisco District Attorney and former California Attorney General on the ticket, since the organization chose the Trump/Vance ticket instead, with a covicted felon on the ticket?
.
Due to their intimate relationship with the US court system/criminal justice system, the police can most likely detect corrpt court proceedings better than most Americans, with maybe the exception of judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys, which is likely why they were so willing to overlook former President Donald Trump’s felony convictions. The alternative has absolutely nothing to do with the “Law and order crowd have theirs priorities in place,” it’s that they really just view Vice President Kamala Harris, Governor Tim Walz, and the Democratic Party so badly, so poorly, so negatively, and so against “Law and Order” that they were more than comfortable and willing to overlook former President Donald Trump’s felony convictions.
.
I’m not a fan of endorsements by any groups or organizations. I don’t like the Democratic Party and I don’t like the Republican Party, which is why I’m registered as a Decline to State, as that’s the closest one can get to being an Independent when registering to vote in California. I don’t believe the police undergo enough training, and I’m severely troubled by the increasing number of lawsuits filed against the police that are being paid out nationwide for civil rights violations, at the cost of several hundred million dollars each and every year, because of the number of police officers who don’t know the law or don’t care to know the law and who don’t know our rights or don’t care to know our rights.
Motive for GA. shooting?

JWB –
I did not post anything by Riley Gaines (WTF?)
I posted a question “Motive for GA. shooting?”
I included a link to a story that inspired my question, I did not “fall” for anything, tho I was curious to see if anyone else would confirm it.
Of course you post your blather willy nilly without giving it any thought.
You are annoying and rude and WRONG as always…. at least it is refreshing to see you refer to a story from CNN as fake news, which has not been confirmed or debunked by anybody yet, not even by you, thanks for nothing.
At least the link worked for a change, even if his post made no sense. I guess practice makes perfect.
It’s nice to know that the potential Commander in Chief of the United States of America is concerned about lipstick on Starbuck’s cups when most folks in this country are barely getting by.

Kamal A wont even answer the first question they asked her”are people better off now thabn 4 years ago?” She blurbs double talk ab lout how her sister and mother raised her,and ignores the question completely.
Its all show as Trump talks Kamal a stares at him and grins and giggles.
Funny the entire think is hilarious to her..She really ate the whole bag of gummys this time.
Now shes talking over him over him and interrupting on abortion ,but i thought he would do that she said?

Kamala’s strategy at last night’s debate was executed perfectly. She went in hoping to avoid explaining her positions, paint Trump as the angry old guy, and show that she is the caring candidate who understands the voter. She accomplished all three goals very well.
Trump was the angry old codger who missed many opportunities to force Kamala into a corner, but he missed the pitch over and over and over. He was defensive and off point, often rambling that it was all Kamala’s fault, the media sucks, and world leaders love him. Sure, the moderators fact checked him numerous time and Kamala none, but it appeared that Trump took her lightly and did not properly prepare. His body language was atrocious.
Kamala threw zingers, often embellishments or outright lies, and Trump flailed in his attempts to tie everything to illegal immigration. She chose to rely 100% on style vs. substance, saying she has plans to solve every problem but never actually explaining how her plan works. Instead, she resorted to kumbayah platitudes towards the viewers to show that she cares. Her body language was mostly positive, except for a few odd facial expressions and a really weird hand-on-the-chin-while-deeply pondering thing.
I hate to say it, but Kamala was by far the better debater last night. Trump looked bored while she tried to look engaged. He seemed like the old guy yelling “Get off my lawn” while she seemed steady. Her pitch was on point and his rambled. Trump missed many opportunities to paint Kamala into a corner. Kamala made the best of her opportunities. Trump was his own worst enemy.

Most baby boomers will tend to vote for Trump because he and Melania subliminally remind them of Oliver & Lisa Douglas who were so beloved on the 1960’s show Green Acres (probably the funniest 1/2 hour show on TV ever).
Oliver looked very much like Trump and beautiful Lisa didn’t look at all like Melania but she had a similar adorable accent.
The Trump campaign should design a Grant Wood American Gothic style campaign poster of Don & Melania…… it’s genius, right?

We were lucky that President Franklin Roosevelt died when he did, because he was planning the formation of the UN and had planned on resigning the presidency to become Secretary-General of the United Nations.
