Local politics: see who passed the state GOP senate and gas tax increases:

The list of Senators who voted for and against the gas tax.


Wow. And it was so damned important for the GOP to take over the state senate as much as it was the US Senate.


Bold Faced Senators represent some part of Clark County.

What's up with leftist violence? Why is this OK?



How is it that we could reach a point in America where destroying someone else's property for political reasons is OK?

Locally, here in Clark COunty, leftists have been destroying Trump campaign signs at warp speed.  Around the country, these scum not only destroy and steal signs, they actually BRAG about it on facebook and youtube.

When did that become OK?

A couple of days ago, a leftist scum bag actually destroyed Trump's Hollywood Star, videos the destruction while doing it, put the video up and then BRAGGED about it!


Gotta wonder: is he on the DNC's payroll like others who've been paid to foment violence?  After all, what better way to get earned media about a bogus DNC talking point?  We might find out, since this clown has now been arrested, finally.

Why is that sort of thing OK?  Why isn't Hillary condemning this sort of violence?


Not a big deal, you say?  OK, swell: how about this?



Had I been there, had many of us been there... all hell would have broken loose.

Why is this OK?  Why do leftists resort to this kind of thing?

Where is Obama on this?  Where is Hillary?  Where is Gov. Brown, for that matter?

These scum do this because the left has lent its approval to this kind of Nazi mentality.

Look, I admit it: I'm a Trump supporter.  He has his flaws, but none of them rise to criminality. 

I live in a location that's off the road and behind other houses, so I don't do campaign signs.  But I'm not above doing bumper stickers on my vehicles.

But not this time.

Windows have been broken out.  Paint has been keyed... tires knifed on vehicles with Trump stickers on them.

And who could possibly forget THIS insanity, that also took place here, locally:


Why is this sort of thing OK?

In this day and age, if you don't agree with a leftist, you're liable to be attacked in some form or another.

You're liable to be assaulted. 

It's not just a leftist thing:  My opposition to Hillary-like Republicans has caused me a certain amount of grief from the RINO contingent...

But their assaults, such as they are, haven't gone beyond words.

My fear?

That the left is ramping up to spill blood if they don't get their way: even more blood than they have already spilled... and that a real, genuine, fight is going to break out along political lines.

The right, of course, has the guns.

But it would not end well if it were to break out regardless. 

Is the media going to demand the democrats state their position on the national lying cow?

It didn't take local leftists long to get in the face of the local and national GOP types to demand that they state their positions on endorsing Trump.

I actually found that exercise useful: anyone denying Trump was automatically rejected and I voted against them.

That's not the only criteria, to be sure; but it's a huge part of my equation.

That said, the question NOW is this: are these same leftist media types like the democratian going to go out and get in the face of every LEFTIST candidate and demand their positions on Hillary? ?  Will the national lamestream media do the same?

Of course not.

The institutional double standard of scum like Lefty Lou is well known; lacking the testicles of a gnat, there's no way he ever do it... when combined with his hard-left bent.

Well the lamestream media chase down the Belle of Botox, aka Nancy Pelosi, and demand HER position on this?

Of course not.  They will continue to do all they can to get that sick cow elected.

But in this day and age of where lamestream media has the credibility of Baghdad Bob's cousin, Vancouver Lou, the media not only WON'T do their job (That, sadly, has been left up to Wikileaks) they will do all they can to bury the current criminality of Hillary forever... including after Trump is elected and the prosecution of Hillary and that rotten posse she's surrounded herself with has begun.

If only we had a media we could trust.

Another face-shot for Hillary: but will it matter?

Everyone even remotely interested in the political scene is already aware of this:
 
The question here isn't one of guilt or innocence: Hillary is guilty of so many things that she makes Ma Barker blush.

The FBI, of course, does not need to reopen anything: they already have more than enough to indict and convict this woman.

What we've had is indisputable evidence that she's lied to the FBI, lied to Congress, lied to the courts and, of course, lied to us. Her violations of security protocols are also undeniable.  FBI Director Comey's misapplication of the laws concerning this issue, obvious to even a layman; has damaged the previously (mostly) spotless reputation of the FBI as the final arbiter of law enforcement without concern of political ramification.  The statutes in question are clear: the "reasoning" Comey used to give her a "get out of jail" card simply never passed the straight face test.

Now, it appears Comey is hedging his bet.  Had he stood pat on giving Hillary a pass, his regime at the FBI would have been over January 20, 2017 had, as it was beginning to appear, Trump was going to win this.

She could easily spend the rest of her miserable life in prison, given her rampant illnesses.

But that isn't what this is about.  What this is about is the impact on this election, beyond that of the heads exploding on the left.  The question here is this: will the reopening of this investigation have a large impact.

I understand that roughly 7 million ballots have already been turned in; mine is not among those.  (I always wait until the last day, particularly for situations like the current one to occur: you never know what's going to happen and your vote is forever once it's submitted.)  Thus, those who've already bought into the "vote early" scam (which really, genuinely, has zero advantage to anyone; save for a Hillary type who fears the release of ever-increasing amounts of information which goes to her criminal involvement in various issues;  all votes submitted or postmarked in a timely manner are counted the same if submitted at 7:59 PM on election day or on the very first day ballots are available.) cannot change their votes based on new information.

Thus, at this moment in time, the vast majority of votes are outstanding: perhaps 100 to 130 million more ballots, including those of illegal voters, are yet to be received.

To be a Hillary supporter, of course, is to prove your ignorance: no one in their right mind should (or would) support a criminal with blood on her hands to become or criminal-in-chief.

The fact that anyone, knowing the reality of the combination of Hillary's criminality and incompetence could still support her tends to show not so much any level of political awareness as much as it shows a tendency towards mental illness.

So now, we have a situation where, generally speaking, BOTH sides have supporters who could view their candidates video axe-murdering a girl scout troop and it would make no real difference in their support.

It SHOULDN'T be that way: it's not for me; for example, my ballot looks more like one that Jimmy Moeller might have filled out instead of me.

What candidates do or have done is very telling.  Hillary's record of criminality, incompetence and her "public and private positions" on Wall Street; the blood on her hands... all of those things matter.

All of what Trump has done matters as well.  Hillary has lied about everything from "sniper fire" in Bosnia to Benghazi.  Trump has been the recipient of a carefully orchestrated, completely unproven series of allegations concerning women.

Trump is to blame, if the left and much of the mainstream media is to be believed, for the Democrat National Committee paid-for violence and riots.
In the videos, Scott Foval, the national field director of Americans United for Change, is seen and heard talking about hiring people to attend Trump rallies and start fights. Foval's contract with the Democratic National Committee was terminated Tuesday, CNN reports. 
That the violence was orchestrated and paid for by DEMOCRATS (who, Bernie Sanders would tell you, have a history of "fixing" things) and that blood was spilled as a result SHOULD be an issue to consider for this election...

But will it be?

Both sides are responsible, more or less, for 35% of the vote.  That leaves the increasingly larger number of independent voters (such a myself) in the middle to actually make the call.  And how is that vote breaking?

It's +14 for the GOP.

Independent voters are in no particular hurry to cast their ballots.  I'm one and I hold my ballot until the last minute before I take it to a local middle school ballot drop off box.

The left is whining a great deal about the timing of this move by Comey to save the FBI's... and his own.... reputation.  But if, for some reason, Comey announced he was investigating Trump?

They'd be dancing in the street.

Even before this happened, signs out there, if you looked carefully, were beginning to point to a Trump resurgence.  In the final analysis, this can be extraordinarily harmful to Hillary's hopes, even more so than the mountain of evidence provided by WikiLeaks that the media has mostly buried.

There are roughly 10 days left in this election.  Ten life times.  Ten eons.  Ten light years.

Ten days can be an eternity in politics.  But in a campaign portrayed as close, it is liable to make it even more of a defeat for Hillary Clinton.

Hillary's campaign views young voters as "f**king dumb people."

We all remember the sellout who is Bernie Sanders.  The pain he inflicted on his base... such as my new son-in-law and daughter, with his betrayal when he endorsed Clinton after beating on her like a drum, still stings.

Well, like minority voters, Hillary merely views the young as cattle... and stupid cattle at that:

INFOWARS brings it home:

Wikileaks Email: Hillary Campaign Struggles to Reach “F**king Dumb” Young People

"That's the crap that young people pay attention to"


Wikileaks Email: Hillary Campaign Struggles to Reach "F**king Dumb" Young People

A new email released by Wikileaks as part of the Podesta dump features Hillary ally Wendy Bronfein advising Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta on how to reach “f**king dumb” young people.

Marketing executive Bronfein tells Podesta that Clinton “may not be the best face” to attract younger voters and that she needs to utilize “trending figures” as par of an “infusion to pull younger voters” because “that’s the crap that young people pay attention to”.

Bronfein goes on to state, “It’s f**king dumb but being “cool” counts for more than it maybe should.”

She references Bill Clinton’s saxophone playing as an example of this before asserting, “I hate to generalize a generation but by social media nature, they “follow”. So if someone they identify as cool endorses – they will likely fall in line with that candidate.”

Bronfein is introduced to John Podesta in another email as someone who “could be immensely helpful in improving HRC’s connection to millennials.”


We already know that the Clintonistas take groups of people for granted, treating them like they're stupid.  After all, that was the Gruber Obamacare model, remember?
“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” says the MIT economist who helped write Obamacare. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”
Yes, indeed.  "The stupidity of the American voter."

So, if you're a voter, particularly of the younger variety... if you've been thinking of voting for Clinton or have done so...

This is what she thinks of you.

Just sayin'.

Multiple violations of the federal pun law: New emails come from FBI Wiener Probe

McCauley proves the insanity of the charter by screwing us... and the Sherrif's Office... with his budget ginzu.

As most reading this know, I loudly opposed the insanity of the Charter as a shill for the bureaucracy taking over local government, among many other scams... has being as undemocratic as Stalin's democratic centralism ever was.

Events have, of course, proven me right as the county council majority and their pet bureaucracy has run roughshod over both the vote and the will of the people of this county.

Now, a proposal has been made by Generalissimo McCauley, head clerk of the county minions, to hammer the Sheriff's budget.

Now, when we need MORE deputies on the street, McCauley, who was never voted into any office, proposes to slash the funding for the Sheriff's operation, putting us all at risk unnecessarily.

Our population continues to expand at an almost geometric rate as refugees from Oregon and California continue to invade.  And instead of keeping the rate of growth as the primary factor in public safety and county government, we get this short-sighted idiocy from McCauley.

The council created this monster and it's time to reign him in.

We do not need a tax increases and we do not need to dip into reserves. We do not need a government that believes us to be stupid making any attempt to jack our taxes up further for their private fiefdom in the face of all of the OTHER tax increases and fee increases and Obamacare increases we're going to have to pay.

What we NEED is for OUR government to cut spending in other areas... including pay raises and layoffs and the like... to not only RESTORE the needed funding to that Sheriff but to INCREASE that funding as their tax revenues and our population increases as well.

The possible closure of the increasingly important Central Precinct is insane.  Only a county council majority that does not care about the security of the rural area of this county would do such a thing.

McCauley reminds me of Ceasar from Planet of the Apes.

Except this time, it's McCauley and the Planet of the Bureaucracy.

The council majority should know better.  They should pay attention to those they would govern and do the right thing for once.

But let's not hold our breath, shall we?

Wouldn't want to suffocate.

More on Bogers' anti-tattoo bigotry/hypocrisy.

Having had his head caved in under his anti-Holt tattoo screed, Brent Boger has changed his tune today:

The response to my post below talking about Eric Holt's selective cropping of a family photo to obscure his rather extensive tattoos in his hit piece against Ann Rivers was not about tattoos. It was about selective cropping that expunged his wife from the photo. It presented him in a different light than how he actually appears. That was the issue, not tattoos.
The other point was the link Eric has with controversial blogger Kelly Hinton who has been on a vendetta against Senator Rivers. If Hinton didn't help with the hit piece, whoever did was channeling him.
A lot of the comments below are in defense of tattoos. That's not the point. I don't care whether people have tattoos. It's none of my business what people do with their bodies, Mary Wallace. If they want to have tattoos, they have every right to have them. Nor is it any of my business what people want to ingest in their bodies. I stood up to a packed Council Chamber to prove that point.
I follow John Stuart Mill's philosophy in this respect: people ought to be allowed to pursue their own separate interests so long as they don't harm others.
The irony of all of this is clear.  situational ethics is the issue.

Boger appears to be incapable of understanding that first, I have no greater "vendetta" against Rivers than I do ANY politician who lied to get elected, who gave her word to convince us and then NAILED this county with a $700 million sledgehammer, and

Second, I treat everyone the same around here.... even to the point of beating on my brother-in-law, County Chair Marc Boldt (psycho as he is) like a rented mule.

Isn't it odd that part of the "vendetta" is now being investigated by the state Attorney General's office, according to the Executive Director of the PDC?

Why, it's as if none of my charges happened.  It's as if Brent wants you to think there's no substance to my allegations... that I made it all up.  What's odder still?

Even when proven, it won't make any difference to Rivers' lackey.

As for the hit piece in question, I'm sure its possessed of the same brilliant writing I use.... although, not having seen it, I have yet to read it.

But here's the truth of it: until Boger's tat bigotry broke out on us, I had no idea it existed.

And here's another truth: I had nothing to do with it and was 1000% unaware of it until it broke.

And here's yet another truth: had I BEEN asked to help write it, I would have.

Meanwhile, Boger is making the claim that, in fact, I DID write the piece:
If Hinton didn't help with the hit piece, whoever did was channeling him.
Brent, at this point, knows he's lying.  But he can't very well not claim I wrote it and still attack me, now, can he?

In pondering all of this, never forget that when Boger babbles this way, he''s not speaking as a lawyer.  He's speaking as an insecure little man who wants friends.

If you were to ask him if Rivers' lied, he would deflect... and fall back into the "she changed her mind" defense.  Well, here's what Gas Tax wrote as a campaign pledge from her own website: decide for yourself.


I again note that when he talks about this, he doesn't talk about the issue that's got me so enraged: he doesn't talk about it because he knows it's a loser for him.

And her.

He calls it the "Transportation package," when it is, in fact, the largest increase in this state's gas tax and tab fees in our history.

I'm reminded of that old saw that DOES in fact, involve attorneys:  "When the law is on your side, argue the law.  When the evidence is on your side, argue the evidence.  When you have neither, attack the other guy's lawyer."

Did anyone force her to post this... which, come to think about it, *I* wrote in the first place?  Did anyone put a gun to her head?

Because the other thing Boger doesn't mention as I have, is that both he and Rivers have had a year's-long relationship with me that only terminated when I refused to cave on my principles merely because I had once been able to call Rivers my friend and business partner.

Me, personally (the Rivers, myself and my wife) have vacationed together and because Rivers and I had been in business together and worked together as consultants and on campaigns... and I also volunteered in a consulting capacity for Bogers' failed prosecutor campaign a few years back... and I really find it strange that neither Boger nor Rivers had any difficulty with me then.

What's changed?  Holding Rivers to the same standard I hold everyone else to is what's changed.

And while *I* have standards, I use the same ones on EVERYONE.  I don't show Bogers' "flexibility" and beat up someone politically on the other side while giving my side a pass.

If you're a democrat and you lie, I'm coming after you.  If you're a Republican and you lie, I'm coming after you.

At some point, you see, we ALL have to stand up and vote out ANYONE who lies to us to get... or to stay... in office.  If we don't... then where's their incentive to tell us the truth?

Like most of weak character, Boger believes that his friends can commit the equivalent of political murder and he still would stand by them.

Me?

Not so much.

Any time anyone wants to govern me, they had better not lie to get the job, or I am coming after them.

Boger, being Boger, has the ethics of an alley-cat, apparently.  He knows that in his line of work if someone had, say, been involved in a contractual obligation of some sort, the she just "changed her mind" defense would get him nowhere.

But, as I say, he HAS no defense for a proven liar, save to attack me.

Like *I* was the one who lied.  Like *I* made this stuff up.  Like *I* was the one who cost this county $700 million because *I* broke *MY* word.

Yes, Boger leaves a great deal out of his attacks against me and his efforts to tie me to Holt as some sort of reason to vote against Ann's opponent.

And you should be asking yourself: why is it that Boger is reduced to telling a tiny part of the story that seems to suit him.... but not the whole thing, that explains it all?

And the most ironic twist of all?  Bogers use of Mills' quote:
I follow John Stuart Mill's philosophy in this respect: people ought to be allowed to pursue their own separate interests so long as they don't harm others.
Odd.  I believe lying to get elected, in fact, harms others.

I believe that costing this county $700 million from our local economy in exchange for $200 million in local projects, the largest of which we do not need or want, harms others.

I believe that governing without honor and making excuses for violating your pledge WHEN YOU DID NOT HAVE TO DO SO harms others.

And in this case?

It's causing a half-billion dollars of harm to the people of Clark County.

But because of Bogers' political infatuation, he simply doesn't care and would much rather try to defend the indefensible.

I, of course, should be used to this sort of playground crap.  For those with no integrity, the idea that I could oppose something or someone on principle is simply beyond their comprehension.

But one thing I know for sure:  Boger's sniveling here has nothing to do with principle and everything to do with sucking up to his buddy, the state senator  that screwed us sideways to the tune of oer $1500 for every man, woman and child in this county.

How.... Brent of him.  That sort of thing makes this easy.

As the RINOs/hypocrites and many on the left descend to attack us, be without fear.

As the election comes to a close, those of us going against the flow and supporting Trump in the face of vile and untrue attacks, property damage and even physical assault grow tired of it all.

But not tired enough to change our positions to Hillary or the others who cannot win.

It causes me to ponder this post.  Read it.  Remember it as things get harder over the next two weeks.

And they will.

Keep heart.  Do not lose faith.

Regardless of the outcome, do not lose faith.

Thoughts to ponder: Be without fear in the face of your enemies.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies.

Be brave and upright that God may love thee.

Speak the truth, even if it leads to your death.

Safeguard the helpless.

That is your Oath.

As you go about your daily lives, do your best to stand up for what you know to be right and just.  Do not go along just to get along.

Do not live by expedience, even when the cost may be great.  Understand that those who call you "friend" who fail to live up to these basic tenets are not, in fact, "friends."

I, for one, have discovered that the hard way.

When you see injustice, do not stand idly by and allow it.

Rise up.  Fight for what you believe in.

Fight for the right as God gives you the ability to fight for the right.

Be neither helpless nor hopeless.  And know this: the smallest, meekest, least noble among you can make a difference.

But only if you try.  Only if you DO.  Anything else?

And evil triumphs.

Brent Boger, Ann "Gas Tax" Rivers lackey, goes full-blown hypocrite.

One of the many reasons I retired from doing campaigns is that I was sickened by the hypocrisy that was everywhere to a greater or lesser degree.

And the winner of the hypocrite of THIS election cycle award goes to…. Brent Boger.
Brent Boger added 2 new photos.11 hrs · 
I've been trying to talk less about politics but things happen I feel compelled to comment on. The latest is a hit piece done on Republican Senator Ann Rivers by her opponent Eric Holt. Eric seems to be a nice guy, but he's running a tough race in a Republican-leaning district against one of the most respected Senators in Olympia who can get a lot of support from Democrats. 
He attacks Ann for changing her mind on the transportation package. Look at these two pictures. He's changed his mind about something else. The picture on the left is the one he used in his hit piece. The one on the right is what was posted earlier on his Facebook page. He cropped a lot of himself (and his wife and one of his kids out). Why? Is it because he has more tats than the average Pelican Bay inmate? His FB tattoos are a bit over-the-top for the conservative 18th legislative district. 
His views are too left and also out-of-line with the district. Yet he seems to have formed an alliance with K.J. Hinton, a local self-styled conservative blogger who has views more consistent with nihilism than conservatism. The mailer is written in Hinton's style and regurgitates his ad nausea complaints against Rivers posted on his blog. 
Not convinced? When Holt was asked who his conservative supporters were, he could only identify Hinton. The people in the room could hardly contain their laughter. (See my first comment below). 
Hinton and Holt, because he's embraced Hinton, have no credibility. An angry man of the Left and an angry man of...what I don't know...are working together. Hardly surprising.
Few play scumbag better than Boger.

Boger, who certainly didn't view me or my blog this way back in the day when HE wanted me to use it to HIS end... or when I defended him repeatedly during, say, his prosecutor’s run or when his now drinking buddy Lou Brancaccio was going to fillet him in his column,... found it convenient to compare his VERY best buddy, Sen. Ann “Gas Tax” Rivers’ betrayal of her district and this county, to the tune of $700 million on her gas tax opposition lie, with what he perceives is an attempt by Eric Holt, Rivers' opponent, to cover up tattoos.

That Holt or anyone else would point out that Rivers is a flat out liar has nothing to do with me or my blog.  The lies are stand-alone.  I merely continually point out the lies so that when scum


Brent Boger snuggling up to the clown who would have gutted him if his fellow leftists hadn't intervened.
Boger is pissed at me because I've done all I can to get rid of that liar he’s attached to closer than most leaches... and the OTHER liar he helped get elected, County Clerk Scott Weber, who ran on a platform of eliminating his job as an elective position KNOWING he would never do anything to make that happen.
The mailer is written in Hinton's style and regurgitates his ad nauseam complaints against Rivers posted on his blog.
So, Holt is guilty of mailing out the truth about Rivers to this district?  Because I've written about Rivers' lies and dishonesty, Holt shouldn't say anything about those issues?

And isn't it interesting that Boger makes no claim that what I write is false? Or made up? Or even slanted in any way... and that, in fact, he's just whining that I say anything about it at all?

But the dozens of emails I have from Boger related to his campaign for prosecutor among other things and my blog tend to speak for themselves.  Same for Rivers, as far as that goes, where the number is in the hundreds.

Meanwhile, the issue confronting the voters of this district is simple:

Do you reelect a proven liar who has shown she will betray her word and the people of her district if the “price is right?”.

Or do you vote for someone who you may not agree with politically but who appears to be, in every respect, an honest man?

As far to the left a RINO as Boger has proven himself to be, I would have thought that he’d be past his bigotry towards tattoos.  This, oh so much more intelligent and enlightened creature would be the first to tell you that he has no bigotry based on appearance... and, of course, looking at him, that’s by far the best position to take.

But the most bizarre aspect of this is Boger, who seems to think he’s somebody for some reason, claims *I* have no credibility and because I oppose the liar who, if she were to stop suddenly, would cause Boger’s entire head to disappear… and therefore Holt has no credibility either.

Boger, looking and acting like a troll, cannot revise history.  He can call me every name in the book if it makes him feel better.  But that won’t change either his history with me or Rivers’ either, as far as that goes.  And when those two needed me and my blog, they had zero problem asking to use both.

For the record, I have not seen the mailer, had nothing to do with the mailer, and have no idea what it says.  However, for Boger types, mere truth will never stand in the way of his meme.

Note Boger’s careful turn of the phrase: ”He (Holt) attacks Ann for changing her mind on the transportation package.”

That’s not what happened, Brent: no need to lie.

A screen capture of Ann "Gas Tax" Rivers 2012 senate campaign website

She made a pledge to the voters of the 18th District to OPPOSE gas tax and tab fee increases to get elected. (Isn't it odd that Boger avoids calling it what it is?  Why do you suppose he’s such a coward about the whole thing?)



Over 70% of her district opposed the gas tax and tab fee increases that SHE ALSO OPPOSED to get elected and then betrayed us all to implement… the largest gas tax increase in the history of this state.

As a lawyer, I’m pretty sure that even Boger would call violating a pledge a “lie.”  But now... when it comes to Rivers... oh, no.  He's invited to dinner out there... so he can't use the same standards against Rivers that he uses against anyone that's a conservative.

You see, because he and Rivers are so “close” now (She tends to think of him as a family pet, kinda… the Boger-centric conversations Ann and I used to have!) he doesn't care if she lies… about her gas tax scam and her PDC’s where she overstated how much money she’d collected for over a YEAR by $175,000… although the Attorney General might care since that office is reviewing those complaints right now… and so we have this bigotry on full display for anyone and everyone to see.

And that makes this the most bizarre issue of all.

Who knew that a leftist, white-bread liberal like Boger would turn bigot for his BFF, Rivers?  And use me as a cudgel of sorts considering back in the day when I worked on his campaigns and he used this blog, or tried to, for his own ends... just like Rivers....

Those commenting under Boger's exercise in wearing out kneepads in front of Rivers on his facebook page are certainly not those I typically agree with.  But I agree with them on THIS, and that Boger can't seem to prioritize between a candidate's appearance and a candidate's complete, proven lack of integrity is inexcusable... but certainly not inexplicable... since I've explained it.

But then, Boger... and Rivers... and Boldt... and Mains... and Stuart... have all tried to get me fired... so I suppose anything is possible.

Hypocrite, much, Brent?  Cause, I gotta wonder: would you be spewing this crap if I was all in for your buddy?

Of course not.  Kind of makes you a clown, don't it?

Politics really CAN make strange bed fellows.  Right, Ann?

More of the Jim Mains influence on his puppet, Boldt: Looks like Boldt's finally dumped Herrera.

As I have been telling you, dear Reader, for the past few years, Boldt has completely flipped to the democrat side.

It's the influence of that leftist punk that runs his political life, Jim Mains, of course...  but that's really not what this is about.  Anyone voting for anyone Mains runs is as moronic as Boldt himself: Mains only runs democrats; his two runnin' buddies, Noland Hoshino (Kicked off the local dems Executive Committee for working for Boldt in 2015) and Temple Lentz, leftists all... and their effort to return this county to democrat control, either actual... or de facto, since the outcome is the same.

It goes without saying that I will not only not vote for any Mains' candidate, but I will do all I can to oppose such candidates... like my moron brother-in-law, Council Chair Marc Boldt.

Mains only works with leftists.  He has taken it upon himself to become the local leftist demigod (Outside of Lying Lefty Lou) and work inside the GOP like the cancer he is to restore this county to democrat control, so he can use this example as a stepping stone to his bigger and better things agenda.

But, no... That's not what this is about: What this is about is Boldt endorsing Jim Moeller's congressional run.

What this is about the local scumbag RINOs doing their best to destroy the local party and install their quasi democrat buddies, like that moron Blom.

This is about the Carolyn Crains and the Brent Bogers who think they are SOOOOOOO smart.... and who did their best to convince us my idiot brother-in-law was something his RECORD clearly indicated he was not.

The irony is that Boldt appears to finally be dumping the woman he is mostly responsible for cursing us to begin with.

Boldt getting chummy with Jim Moeller, democrat candidate for Congress, at a Roman Battan fund raiser recently... just another democrat Boldt supports.

Now, it's not terribly surprising that Boldt would roll out to a democrat fund raiser, particularly when the democrat when I went over to the cardboard cutout of a congresswoman's election website to look to see if Boldt was on her endorsement list...  guess what?

NO LIST!

I can understand that.  The number of genuine Republicans endorsing her has been shrinking faster than the budgets that Herrera votes for have been growing... and we're only $20 trillion in debt.

So, while *I* wasn't terribly surprised that she wouldn't have such a list, considering how few Republicans would ask to endorse her, I also wasn't surprised that the Jim Mains produced seduction of Boldt to the "dark side" was ongoing... and the RINOs that rammed Boldt down our throat remain utterly silent in the face of the proof that those same RINOs were lying to us all along.

Don't get me wrong: I don't care if you vote democrat or not.  In fact, my ballot, which is going to be RINO free, likely will look like it was filled out by Moeller himself.

The difference though, is huge: the difference is I stand behind my actions.  They're out there.  I tell you all about them while these fake RINO types work behind the scenes, ignoring those who know, because, as I pointed out, they are SOOOOOOO smart.  And, in fact, I'll be voting for Moeller myself, because I would much rather have a real democrat in there than the fake variety we've got now.

I get why Boldt looks like he's dumped Herrera: she's been worthless since her arrival and it just took him a few years to get where I've always been.

Well, that and the Mains hypnosis... which is so bad that it's like Mains is the county chair and Boldt just does what he's told... kinda like the democratian used to portray him back when I was his legislative assistant some 15 to 20 years ago... and they were so sure that he was MY puppet.

Confusion over the State GOP campaign: What makes them believe that electing Republicans will stop a state income tax?

The income tax in this state has been, if memory serves, presented to the voters in some form or another on ten separate occasions.  Ten times, the voters have rejected it.

Right or wrong, everyone reading this has to understand that a state income tax CANNOT be implemented without a vote of the people.

Thus, I have two issues with this approach:

First:
2. Either chamber of the Washington State Legislature can initiate an amendment to the state's constitution. Each house (the Washington State Senate and the Washington House of Representatives) must approve the proposal, or a version of it, by a two-thirds vote. If this happens, the proposed legislatively referred constitutional amendment goes on a statewide ballot at the next general election in the state. If it is approved by a simple majority, it becomes part of the constitution.[3]
Second:

Having just been freshly screwed by the GOP-controlled State Senate, who allowed the largest gas tax/tab fee increases in this state's history; while simultaneously refusing to put a referendum clause on this tax jack as they used the time-tested democrat ploy of adding a bogus emergency clause to this rip off to make it effectively impossible for the people to gather the needed signatures to put this theft to a vote... I don't believe for one minute that electing anyone in particular will keep an income tax from becoming a problem... GOP or no.

As has been documented here many times, my own 18th District Senator, Ann "Gas Tax" Rivers, ran on a platform of opposing gas tax increases AND tab fee increases to get elected, writing:


...only to betray her district and this county by voting FOR this monstrosity which cost us all a few bucks:


THIS "Republican" put it in WRITING that she would oppose the biggest gas tax increase in the history of this state.

And when the time came, what did she do?  Jam a stick in our eye to take care of her King County buddies by raping our wallets to pay for their boondoggles... costing every man, woman and child in this county in excess of $1500.

Each.

Rivers' only regret, according to the video from her town hall meeting of January 9 in Battle Ground?

Not that she betrayed us by shattering her promise... but that she made that pledge at all.

Go to her "issues" page right now and as near as I can tell, the words "income tax" don't appear and even if she claimed to oppose such a tax, how could you believe her?

After all, didn't she also pledge to oppose gas tax increases, etc?  And how did that work out for us?

So the idea that putting or keeping a house or both houses in GOP control as some sort of anti-income tax panacea is simply not true.

The idea that not electing Republicans would result in an income tax somehow is equally, in my opinion, also not true.

The 2/3rds vote requirement and the long history of refusing to implement an income tax prevents that from happening.  But the past cycle taught me well: if you're going o count on the GOP from blowing a hole in our wallets... Then I've got an I-5 Bridge to sell you.

Vote for whomever you like for whatever reason you like.  But do yourself a favor:  don't vote for someone in the GOP because of this.

You're liable to be disappointed.

If only we could believe the media...

One of the problems with our modern information age is the increasingly difficult task of separating fact from fiction.

At every level, media has lost any pretense of fairness or objectivity.  Locally, the cancer on our community has done all they can to shape society into their vision of how things should be... without going through that minor aspect of bothering to consult the people of this county.

Nationally, the lamestream media and their accomplices... everyone from Zuckerberg to Google, has thrown their lot in with a criminal.  They don't even bother to hide their prejudice... their bias... their hatred and their anger at the though of a Trump residency.

Trump cuts the tag off a mattress, so to speak, and Hillary gets tens of millions of dollars of earned media, so to speak and her supporters blind themselves to her crimes, her corruption and her incompetence.

Locally, every allegation against David Madore received massive publicity... even though untrue.  (Yes, I'm well aware that he shot himself in the foot.  I've discussed that here as well, but strategic blunders do not equate to character flaws...)  When the allegations were disproven on the PDC, there was little to no mention of it in our local version of Pravda.

Both locally and nationally, campaigns coordinate with news coverage and lies are presented as truth and those who believe the lies deliberately overlook the inconvenient truths, the blood on her hands, the lies, the crimes she's committed and the corruption at every level of government that has even infected the highest levels of the FBI... a heretofore saintly organization unsullied by the Administration of the day.

As the election moves closer and the ballots are filled out, the efforts by the media to impact the outcome grows.

And my disdain for what they tell us grows with them.

If only they were truthful.  If only they could look beyond their agenda.  If only they just did their jobs and gave us the facts... the unfiltered, unbiased facts... so we could form our own opinions.

But no.  It's opinion masquerading as news.  Endorsements locally based on who's been drinking with Lou, or who buys full page ads for their business or who isn't to the right of Mao.

If only they would tell ALL of the truth... and not just the bits that fit their meme.

If only we could believe the media.

Indicators of who to vote against... most anyone the democratian endorses.

Ballots will be hitting any second, and I'm reviewing the criteria I'm using to make my decisions as to who to vote for.

Our local cancer on our community, The Dmocratian, is a great litmus test as to who to vote against.

Typically, the rag endorses no one unless they're a democrat.

I don't mean by party label; I mean in reality... regardless of what they call themselves.

If the neo-communist cult of personality endorses a candidate, that's like they they believe them to be a democrat where it matters: on their leftist agenda.

As you review their swindle-sheet of endorsements, the pattern becomes clear:

Leftist democrats, Puget Sound liberal Supreme Court justices who make up the law as they go along?

Check.

Statewide offices?  (Gov, Lt. Gov, Insurance Commissioner, Public Lands, Auditor, Attorney General, SPI)

Check.

Federal  offices/President? (President, senate, congress.)

Check

Legislature?  (Every single office endorsed: democrat or RINO)

Check.

County council?

Check

In fact, here’s the breakdown of this supposedly unbiased disgrace to journalism.

Of the seats where two parties are running:

All three Supreme Court justices.

Statewide positions:  six out of seven; and the seventh, Wyman, is another RINO.

Legislative positions:  2, 3, 1, 1 RINO and 1 because of her company’s full page ad revenue (Lefty Lou knows which side of his bread is buttered.)

Federal seats: all 3 are democrats.

Local council seats: 2

The numbers are clear: of the positions available for election, the rag has endorsed a democrat/fake Republican in…. all of them.  All, of course, while that lying punk Brancaccio continually claims his lack of bias.

For me, I won’t be voting for any of them and I appreciate the rag’s handy election round up that enables me to simple either not vote in a race or vote for the opponents of the candidates they endorse.

That does not guarantee that those not endorsed will earn my vote, either.

Refuse to endorse Trump?

I’m voting against you.

Accept money from the Cowlitz as they set about to buy local and legislative government?

I’m voting against you.

Lie to get elected?  (And I’m talking about you, Rivers) and I’m voting against you.

To that end, the local stain on journalism does serve a useful purpose by pointing out, through their endorsements, those unfit to hold elective office.

And for that small service, I thank them.

Do your own research.  Look it up yourself.  Don’t take anyone’s word for it, even mine.  I’m not telling you WHAT to think, I’m telling you TO think.  And remember: the classic definition of insanity is doing the same thing, over and over, while expecting a different outcome.  You send these same people back into their office and expect them to look out for you and keep their promises then you are, in fact, politically insane… and you deserve what you get in the form of bigger government, higher taxes, higher fees and more regulations.

The rest of us?

Not so much.

Why is the left so violent?

Blood has been spilled.  Offices burned.  Cars destroyed...

Why?

Why is the left so full of hatred?  Why is it that when people don't agree with them, they get so angry?

Why is it OK for this kind of thing?

Why doesn't it reflect on that criminal democrat running for the presidency?

Can you imagine what we'd be seeing if it had involved the Trump campaign?

Trump supporters have been beaten.  They've been scared.  Their property damaged... destroyed.

They've been attacked in every imaginable way.

Why?  Why is that OK?  Why is political terrorism and censorship acceptable?

Why isn't the leftist leadership speaking out about this outrage?

How much longer until this escalates to bodies?

Time to buy more ammo.

Courtesy of King5 News: my statewide list of RINOS I will be voting against.

Thanks, King5 News for this handy list!

Chris Vance
Bill Bryant
Mark Miloscia
Duane Davdson
Michael Waite
Steve McLaughlin

Also, of course, our own cowardly Congresswoman, Jaime Herrera.

All of these fake Republicans would rather have #HillBilly Clinton, a criminal psychopath, running this country.

I would rather dive into a pool of molten lava with a boiling hydrochloric acid chaser.

And I will vote against anyone taking a similar position.

I will also be voting against Wyman for her failure to take any action to secure our ballot security for the last 4 years.

I fear for my country. How the left is scamming this election... again.

Two years ago, there was an expose about the thought process behind the Obama Administration's successful efforts to screw us with Obamacare.

The upshot was that those behind this effort concluded, rightfully, that the average American voter is, well, stupid.

That conclusion was properly reached in Obama's reelection, which proved, in fact, the majority of voters in this country, are just that: stupid.  Every leftist from Harry Reid on down lied his ass off to get their boy elected.  And the people let them get away with it.

As a nation, we reelected the worst president this country has ever known.  What other conclusion concerning the voters can be reached?

Now, instead of jettisoning those who have put us in this position, we're appearing to desire to double down on this stupidity because we allow other people to lie us into changing our positions and voting the way they've manipulated us into voting.  They're experts at the art of practicing deception and deflection... masters of the art of bright, shiny object politics... and the American people may be falling for it again.

I'm already reading about what a great job Gov. Pence has done in positioning himself for a 2020 run if Trump doesn't make it this time.

Here's why that won't matter.

What happened to Trump with bogus allegations of sexual and other misconduct will also happen to Pence. And if Trump loses, it won't matter who the GOP runs, this SAME kind of crap will happen to whoever makes it to the 2020 general because it worked to take out Trump.

Doesn't matter that most of it is not true. These guys are following the Alinski rule book to perfection and it's working, if the polls are to be believed, to perfection.

In politics, as in football, you keep running the same play until the other side figures out a way to stop it. If you're explainin', you're losing. Trump is now a million miles off message... defending himself from this fakery... and that's precisely where they want him to be because when he was ON message, he was beating that woman like a drum.

Trump is running a terrible campaign, IMHO, not unlike McCain in 2012.  He's allowed himself to be baited into making stupid statements that only help Hillary.... when there's so many other positive things he could be doing.

There was miles of video out there, including the perfect footage of Joe Biden in the debates saying that Obama wasn't ready to be president... a campaign ad that wrote itself... that McCain never used.

Same situation now: there's all that footage of Obama attacking Hillary and Sanders attacking Hillary and Trump isn't using any of it.

If the GOP can't beat this obvious criminal this time, then they can never beat anybody at any time. And that will include a Mike Pence candidacy to run whatever's left of this country 4 years from now.

Time to put an end to voter fraud. Here's how.

For years now, leftists have been claiming that voter fraud isn't a problem, while most others knew, intuitively if nothing else (Why would ballots and other forms have to be printed in foreign languages if the user was an American citizen?  What would keep anyone from registering to vote since we don't require proof of citizenship and a legal ID?) that it obviously IS a problem.

Leftists lie about this issue for one reason and one reason only: they typically benefit from the illegal vote.

Combine that with the idea that many leftists, such as the Clintons, would sell their own children to get elected and, well, you've got a match made in heaven... or hell, as the case may be.

Recently, more and more proof has surfaced that the left generally are doing all they can to get people... and use people... dead or alive... to vote.  Feast your eyes on this:

 
Voter Fraud Is Real. Here’s The Proof

Voter Fraud Is Real. Here’s The Proof

Data suggests millions of voter registrations are fraudulent or invalid. That’s enough to tip an election, easily.
John Gibbs
By

This week, liberals have been repeating their frequent claim that voter fraud doesn’t exist. A recent Salon article argues that “voter fraud just isn’t a problem in Pennsylvania,” despite evidence to the contrary. Another article argues that voter fraud is entirely in the imagination of those who use voter ID laws to deny minorities the right to vote.

Yet as the election approaches, more and more cases of voter fraud are beginning to surface. In Colorado, multiple instances were found of dead people attempting to vote. Stunningly, “a woman named Sara Sosa who died in 2009 cast ballots in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.” In Virginia, it was found that nearly 20 voter applications were turned in under the names of dead people.

In Texas, authorities are investigating criminals who are using the technique of “vote harvesting” to illegally procure votes for their candidates. “Harvesting” is the practice of illegally obtaining the signatures of valid voters in order to vote in their name without their consent for the candidate(s) the criminal supports.

These are just some instances of voter fraud we know about. It would be silly to assume cases that have been discovered are the only cases of fraud. Indeed according to a Pew Research report from February 2012, one in eight voter registrations are “significantly inaccurate or no longer valid.” Since there are 146 million Americans registered to vote, this translates to a stunning 18 million invalid voter registrations on the books. Further, “More than 1.8 million deceased individuals are listed as voters, and approximately 2.75 million people have registrations in more than one state.” Numbers of this scale obviously provide ripe opportunity for fraud.
More:

That's the reality.

That the left does not want accurate and legal voter registrations, done by American citizens and American citizens alone, tends to speak for itself.  And it's time to put an end to it.

For years now, I have been demanding that, on a date certain, all voter registrations in the United States be invalidated.

Everywhere.

We could set up a period of time, say, 6 months, where we each could register with new voter registrations.  To be accepted, we would have to present ourselves IN PERSON, to either a DMV office with license renewal or a county auditor's office along with a birth certificate or passport or similar proof of identification.

Those unable to do so because of physical infirmity could request that the auditor's office of their county send someone to their location to assist them in filling out their registration.

And on a date certain... say, next August 1st, if you haven't registered with proof of citizenship, IN PERSON, then you can't vote again until you have completed that task.

Is it difficult?  Expensive?  Cumbersome?  Time consuming?

Of course.

But then, how much is the security of our voting system worth?

What if, for example, Hillary gets elected and we discover it was because of illegal voters?

For that matter, what if the DOG CATCHER is elected for the same reason?

Leftists, of course, would flip out at the very idea of it.  But, as I say, that's because they benefit from the illegal vote... which is, in part, why they are so hot to allow illegal aliens to stay and so giddy over the idea of opening our borders to the security risks inherent in unvetted "refugees" who lack the guts to stay home and fight for their freedom.

Naturally, they'll claim that such an idea is racist.  That there would be no restriction based on color and such a plan would be just as likely to nail an illegal from Stockholm as it would from Mexico City is neither here nor there.  They have their boat and they damned sure don't want us rocking it.

At some point, we are going to have to find a way to scrub the voter rolls out.  I've been pondering this for years and the reality is that there is no other way.

If there is one, I'd love to hear it.  But I am sick to death of illegals and dead people voting and it's about time we did something about it.

And now's as good a time as any.
