But the SF officials responsible for this were not completely brain dead. At least they had the sense to ship them to San Bernardino County before turning them loose. Residents of San Bernardino County (or for that matter LA County) are not going to be happy when they find out about this.

Michael Savage is funny. He's like the Andrew Dice Clay of talk radio. I wonder if he knows gays call each other savage as a pet name? Too bad he doesn't have the guts to go by his real name WEINER, LOL.

Liberalism is a mental disorder and Conservatism is selfish self delusion.

I'd be careful about listening to too much savage though, he's very negative. And like most talk radio hosts he uses fear and hate to encourage you to listen and make him money. Any one who is not a conservative like him is a FAR LEFT SF LIBERAL looney, because we are either for us or against us right?

Rok, though you may be right about insane people running the state, this here action was caused by city officials.

Savage is such a moron I can't believe anyone listens to him, and I am no bleeding heart lib. I actually think he and Coulter are closet liberals who just want to see what they can get away with, and make some dough off others' stupidity in the process. Does savage still digress into nutrition? I heard him once ranting on about the benefits of ginseng.

I think that a government agency breaking federal law (aiding and abetting) is not liberalism. It's way beyond that.

What an inspiring story.

Eight young free enterprise entrepreneurs are temporarily put out of business by government regulators. Realizing that overburdened tax payers will be charged $60,000 per year for each of the eight if they are incarcerated, or $7,000 per month for each if they stayed in a youth home, they used their individual initiative to better themselves. They abandoned government programs and set out on their own to rejoin the marketplace and contribute to the economy.

The president should give them a medal, but they are probably too proud, too self reliant to accept any acknowledgment of their contributions to capitalism.

"Where are the people defending the burglars in the other thread? They should be here making excuses for these Honduran turds."

No one is "defending" the burglars in the other thread. Some of us just believe that in a civil society there should be due process before people are punished. And burglary isn't punishable by the death penalty.

As of for the drug dealers. Put them in prison for a while and then deport them.

The SF officials must have broken some laws - maybe aiding and abetting? If they have, they should be prosecuted.

More on this issue today;

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-immig2-2008jul02,0,1476174.story

from the link SF Mayor Gavin Newsom said...

In addition, San Francisco officials misinterpreted state law, he said, thinking that the Welfare and Institutions Code prohibited them from sharing juvenile criminal information with federal authorities. The city attorney, he said, has recently "clarified that that is not the case."

Russoniello wasn't buying it Tuesday, calling Newsom's explanation "all contrivance."
"They have said all along that it was the sanctuary policy that mandated they shield these people from ICE," he said. "It's only because it's so preposterous that the sanctuary law would shield drug dealers that they've now come up with this alibi."





Gavin’s lying through his teeth. And just today he annouces he’s exploring a run for Governor. Does he think the rest of Cali is as stupid as San Franciscans?

Jerry Brown is a hero for having the balls to actually fix problems. That is why he is one of the most popular and best governors California has ever had. If he is p1ssing bluey off he must be doing something right

Less than three weeks into Donald Trump’s presidency, Gov. Jerry Brown has never been more popular, and nearly two-thirds of adults in the nation’s most populous state want California to go its own way on climate change and immigration, according to a new poll.

The poll, released late Thursday by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California, comes amid intensifying conflict between Trump and heavily Democratic California. State lawmakers are fast-tracking legislation to shield undocumented immigrants from deportation, and they have hired Eric Holder, the former U.S. attorney general, to help prepare for potential litigation against the Trump administration on issues ranging from climate change to health care and immigration.


Brown’s approval rating of 62 percent is a record high for the fourth-term governor in PPIC surveys, up from 57 percent in December. The Democrat-controlled Legislature has also seen its stock improve since Trump took office. Its 57 percent approval rating is the highest it has been since before the energy crisis in 2001.

Jerry Brown is not as popular as the media polls claim. They conduct these polls in liberal cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles. They allow illegal immigrants to participate. If these polls were done up in Northern Counties, a much different picture would emerge. In the 26 northern counties that overwhelmingly vote conservative, you will be hard pressed to find a Brown supporter. And while we are at it consider that no matter how many people are in the wrong, its not a reason to join them. Herd mentality is what is driving the sheep in our state. Nowadays, it is the conservative who is the free thinker. I will continue to form my own opinions regardless of what the sheep say we all should think. A majority of Lemmings think its a good idea to jump off a cliff and swim out to sea and drown. They dont know that the phermone alpha that leads them to their death is a proxy for those who remain behind to reproduce and survive. California voters are like lemmings, ignoring the obvious facts about the real causes of poverty, ignorance and financial catastrophe which loom large here.
You cant have everything you want. So we must choose. Those who choose to spend our tax dollars tilting windmills and striving for an impossible utopia are forsaking the obvious needs of our people and infrastructure. Ghandi said "Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth." I find myself often in the minority of one position for advocating what I believe is obvious common sense. Necessities first, moonbeam ideas second. Perhaps a tax on millionaires who cannot show anything for all the taxes they pocket. Most infrastructure administrators get paid millions, with nothing to show for it. Feinstein is a good example.
You shall know them by the fruits they bear. Just look at the homeless situation in Sacramento and its demographics. That is the real proof of the California Legislature and its real goals. They dont give a shyt about anyone. They only covet money and power. By empowering illegals to overthrow and conquer our Nation, these deceitful leaders have ascended to power, cashing in on liberal comfort and "white guilt." Illegal immigration, refugees and sanctuary cities are a de facto invasion. A childrens crusade to conquer America. These are not evil people coming here. But they are desperate, predatory and uneducated. Our leaders are using them as proxies, just like the Lemmings.

OK, OK - the USA is a liberal, federal, democratic republic.
Not. for Very Much Longer ! A Few Months If That ! , the Republic under this Regime is failing!
Yesterday early evening, after 6:30pm ,
The TV broadcast was interrupted by:
1)an all red screen.
2) a loud '3 Bells' alert: audio "loop, recorded" sound of '3 Bells' -like- 'fog horn' blasts
3) some mic. checking, (static between blasts, of different natures? Live clicks?)
And
4) a scrolling banner that red in large white letters " Civil Emergency Warning "

I quelled fears among the wife and kids that it was just the storm warning system.

It was not an amber alert or a storm warning .

It was a test of the Civil warning notification system,
the 1st steps that an Authoritarian dictatorship has to deploy before declaring
Martial law.

Of course in Trump-havens, where homes are multi-millions in assets
& cash so the flock, have no problem sheltering in cloister'd neighborhoods.

That my experience now includes a Civil warning alert blasted into my living room,
Across my 80 inch screen, ala' the 1960s. Duck & Cover, Civil Emergency drills,
Not all here remember the "hide under desks" Cold War days.

Brown is corrupt. If you disagree just call state officials and ask for your own state funded assessment of the feasibility of oil development on your private land...

After a phone call from the governor and follow-up requests from his aides, senior staffers in the state's oil and gas regulatory agency over at least two days produced a 51-page historical report and geological assessment, plus a personalized satellite-imaged geological and oil and gas drilling map for the area around Brown's family ranchland

greed decorates a lazy soul.
fear then moves in.
fear about running out of more than you need.
then ignorance takes root.
and hatred.

republicans seek this path, because it's easy. and they are
weak. in spirit; in mind; and in body...(f*#k you i'm not sharing my excess i'll hoard it instead; christianity is boss, yo! and i want to sit on my ass in my big truck, or any big motorized transport and fling my lazy self about, because GODDAMn it it's my RIGHT!)

Still, the Brown administration warned that it’s not time to start letting the tap run freely. Some policies introduced during the drought, such as bans on hosing down driveways and outdoor watering within 48 hours of rain, will remain in place. Most significantly, state officials continue to hammer out a set of long-term water regulations that promises continued austerity down the road.

You mentioned that you don't like the 12% gas tax. Welcome to the majority of Californians. But if that's the case, just how did Brown get this thing passed? He spread nearly $1B around in pork to the districts of legislators who stood against the tax. That's an expenditure of huge sums of tax money to pass a tax. Legal bribery.

You know what's insidious about this tax? It will drive up consumer costs at the same time that it is indexed for inflation. So as the tax drives up the costs of everything we (rich and poor alike) buy, the tax goes up automatically to match.

Another related point. Poorer people generally drive cars or small trucks which use more gas than those of us who might buy a nice hybrid or even an electric. So not only are they hit disproportionately by rising costs (everything you buy rode on a truck,) and the simple increase in fuel prices as part of their income, but largely due to economic necessities they tend to use more fuel per mile traveled.

Now, in what way does Brown care two bits about under-privileged Californians?

For sure, if you disagree with my (opinion, rant, 10,000 word manifesto) then you are a (fag-traitor, godless-miscreant, zealot-bastard) and, you should be (jailed, beaten, taxed) without benefit of a (fair trial, mortgage bailout, recount).

The world is full of problems that I can't solve, because I am not actually a (economist, college graduate, trustee here at the prison). I am however a naturally gifted analyst - despite the fact that I only get world news from (Fox, New York Times, Al Jazeera).

I am (particularly gifted, the Chosen One, delusional) when it comes to assessing who else is to blame for my manic joylessness. Further, I genuinely believe that I can become as popular as ( George Washington, Jesus, that Stewart prick) just by (writing un-edited 10,000 word manifestos, writing obsessed incendiary trolling comments, a mall massacre).

There is just no (joy, hope, chance of getting laid) in my world. This (crisis, disaster, apocalyptic orgy of doom) is clearly and obviously the fault of (Dick Cheney, Michelle Obama, The Illuminati).

I think that (real Americans, true patriots, Steven Colbert) are justified in fighting this (tyranny, socialism, Mossad conspiracy) using (full-auto war rifles, barrels of ANFO, gerrymandered re-districting).

We will only enjoy (liberty, lower taxes, getting some hootchi-kootchie) after we restore my beloved country to the former greatness of the sentimental past, as captured by such films as (The Sons of Katie Elder, Saving Private Ryan, Star Wars IV –A New Hope).

In the mean time, we have been historically (short-johned, gin-poled, electric banjo-pronged) by the inability of (Congress,

) to provide ethical, non-partisan leadership in these (dark times, strange days, early weeks of the revolution). Yes, until (congress, ) can provide some selfless political sacrifice I am keeping my (gun loaded, bunker stocked, money in oil stocks).

If you are not (with us, against us, half-in-the-bag by noon) then you are obviously (with us, against us, half-in-the-bag by noon) and you really need to WAKE UP.

I voted for Jerry 3x, but didn't vote for him the last time because we now have divergent political views.

Jerry is an example of why I don't think people who are over seventy should run for public office. The older one gets, the possibility of compromise is lessened.

Not for long. I had a chat with the CPA today. He admits he could be off by a penny either way, but since this tax is indexed to inflation and it will drive up consumer prices his opinion is that it will be around .20 in three years. And the higher it gets the faster it grows.

I find this interesting since I'm not a big fan of (excessively) progressive tax rates. But this one could hardly be more upside down when it comes to punishing those with the least. Maybe this is what it will take to bring about a good house cleaning in Sack-Ramento. No, never mind. No point in dreaming.
