Question for Thom
Why don't you want to know how many illegals are here?? Please be specific!
Hey Kids,
There must be an unbelievable amount of illegals in the Country....otherwise why would the Dems be so desperate to stop us from finding out how many? It sure can't be the 11 million they have told us for the last 20 years.
Why elect any president since the federal judges seem to be running the country...and against the people no less!
As for climate change...it was sunny and warm yesterday...today is cloudy and cool..
uh huh it's climate change right here in my yard!
my 2 cents until later!
A glimpse of the world we live in. Bless nature and life.

Droughts are always the result of climate change, are they not? I guess what you meant to say was "man-made climate change". Of course, there is no proof that the actions of the earth's population had anything to do with droughts. There is no definite proof that the peoples of the earth have any direct impact on the climate, or on the weather.
You are right DR. It is not controversial to ask about citizenship on the census form. It is controversial to not ask that question.
Hey HotCoffee, Here is a tidbit that needs posting as Hatrmann's memory all too often needs jogging.
All this freaking out by the left about Trump wanting to put a question on the census that was there until Obama removed it is not only pure politics but shows the democrats ultimate goal here which is to count illegals as citizens. The reasons they want to do this are many but in the end it's just one more step towards open borders and full citizenship rights for illegals. Trump is putting things back the way they were before Obama began his program to "fundamentally change America".
The only possible change Trump is making is, I believe he wants the question in both the long and short form instead of just in the long form which is not nearly the dramatic "this has never been done before sky is falling" accusations by the left.
"Beginning in 1970, the Census Bureau started distributing two different questionnaires: a short form sent to most households and a long form sent to about 1 in 6 households. Only the long form asked about citizenship.
In 2000, for example, respondents who got the long-form questionnaire were asked, “Is this person a CITIZEN of the United States?” But those who received the short form were only asked for the basics, such as name, date of birth, sex, and race.
WHAT DID OBAMA CHANGE IN 2010?
The 2010 census ditched the long form, using only a 10-question short-form questionnaire that did not ask about citizenship."
Let's see If that ever makes the leftie/socialist newz.
Hi Diane,
And Me shell is out telling everyone how awfull it was for her/? ( remember what Joan Rivers said) to be first lady......and how there were no scandels!
Here are some of those scandels that she says never happened....

As for the border...I watched a little of Amy's Democracy now this morning and Glen Greenwald was speaking about Brazil where he is under death threats for being gay.

Good morning HotCoffee,
Might as well start the day off under another of Thoms lies about the "concentration camps" that obama built.
Reality is, the leftie/socialists look at these people as guaranteed democrat party voters. They at no point in time ask why Mexico should not take them in and let them prosper in the free college and healthcare for all that Thom has told us Mexico provides.
I never was under the belief that any of the current clowns in the democrat dumpster fire would actually make it to the final nomination. Clearly the obama's hate Crazy Uncle Joe. I always believed Howard Schultz or (gasp) Michelle Obama would get the nod at the last minute and save the day.
Steyer could be the one to bring ration and reason to that party by showing the wild eyed radicals the door.
On to good news,
Historic: Trump set to raise record $2 billion for reelection, 4-times 2016
Later,
Diane,
That's too funny...you're on a roll today!
Well seems Swalwell was out by the time I finnished typing.
I think Kamala is the annointed one by the Obamas and Eric Holder.... soon Harpo productions and the hollywood , music crowd will join in....she hits all the right er I mean left notes....an that right there is the Obama crowd.
One wrinkle though Tom Styner throwing his billions in for a run as POTUS.
Ca. has voted down people trying to buy an office before,,,but that was before TDS.
As for Robert O'Rorke well he can always keep campaining in Mexico....who knows maybe they will elect him.
lets see what tomorrow brings :)
I highly doubt it spies on ordinary people. But still it's important to pay attention to the security of phoning. One of the ways to improve is checking area codes on https://areacodes.net/469. If you get a suspicious call or SMS check where it was made from.
This is a great photo of the Dalai Lama, showing him doing his job! I like the Dalai Lama because he is a guru of his craft, just like www.towtruckregina.com is the guru of towing services in the City of Regina in Canada. I love making cool comparisons like that.
There's a difference between concentration camps, where people were concentrated - for example work camps - and death camps, which were expressly for the purpose of killing people en masse, hence the gas chambers. None of the latter were in Germany itself. People did tend to die of overwork or disease in the concentration camps, and some were killed, but that was not their purpose. Nobody is saying America has any death camps. But it already uses prisons as work camps, so maybe it is just a matter of time before refugees are put to work too - after all, they are run privately, and corporations have to make as much profit as they can, you know?
Hey HotCoffee. You are a genius. I usually tune in Hatrmann's show on Monday's for the first segment just to see how tightly wound he is starting the week. You called it, one of the first things out of his mouth was his insinuation that Epstein and Trump were in cahoots. I won't bore you with the lies but suffice to say Thom has egg all over his face again.
Interesting bio on that twerp Swalwell. It is amazing how generations alternate in their political beliefs. Back a few years when I was a regular listener, Thom let it slip his grandfather was a communist and his father was a Rebuplican. Thoms tries to hide it but if it walks like a duck.... Sanders is in that same gaggle but the rest in the clown car are just out begging for votes to anyone and everyone with the full knowledge none of their outrageous "promises" will ever happen.
Btw, Swalwell will be the first to jump out of the race. He has less than zero chance even if everyone else quit.
If Tom Steyer gets in, Biden will blow a gasket and never be heard from again and Kamala Harris will either have a contract put out on him or buy some new lingerie hoping for a VP slot. Warren will slither back to her casino heritage and Spartacus's eyes will jump further out of his head. I left Beeto out because he was never in.
Be interesting to see how Hatrmann could possibly endorse a billionaire hedge fund manager for POTUS. He has spent his entire life making bad financial decisions and hated hedge fund people let alone billionaires.
Popcorn is the correct food for the next year and a half.
G'Day Diane & coalage,
A little info on Swalwell.....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Swalwell
Swalwell was born on November 16, 1980, in Sac City, Iowa, the first of four sons of Eric Nelson Swalwell and Vicky Joe Swalwell, both of whom are Republicans[10]; his father at that time was serving as police chief in Algona, Iowa. After leaving Iowa, the family eventually settled in Dublin, California.[11] He graduated from Wells Middle School, and then from Dublin High School in 1999.[12]
It's been a great Holiday weekend for the Dems eating their own. AOC and Nancy fighting....Christine Pelosis heads up regarding their " Favs " getting caught up in the Epstein case...Trump took action against pedophile Jeffrey Epstein before anyone else did
https://milnenews.com/2019/07/08/trump-took-action-against-pedophile-jeffrey-epstein-before-anyone-else-did/
&
Joe's apology tour.
California's biggest problem is the 9th circuit court that preverts the people will.
Also just heard the Tom Styner's going to run for potus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Steyer
Gotta go get more popcorn!
later.....
Coalage3, I completely agree with one small exception. The loony leftie/socialists actually represent only a fraction of the real democrat party. They just happen to be the most vocal. Just look at the map of the election results by county. The "freeloaders" reside in very few predicted areas. Rest assured, middle American "democrats" had a big hand in the election and the re-election of President Trump.
In my view, free education is a signal that the country leaders are investing time and money into the future of their nation; so, yes, education should be free, at least for domestic students. We have so many programs supporting refugees and applicants from poor countries while quiete a few of our own students struggle with these drastic loans. Many of them are forced to look for part-time jobs and order homework assignments and essays here: https://essaypro.com/write-my-essay.html. I believe, that students need better protection from the government, it is definitely not okay when 18-year olds take loans which last for 5-7 more years.
I heard where AOC was saying the country was headed to fascism. This came after her "visit" to the southern border. What a hypocrite, along with the other gang of four. They lament the conditions (mostly grossly exaggerated, of course) at the detention centers, but they do absolutely nothing to prevent it. Unless you count just ignoring illegal immigration. And the MSM lets them get away with it. And so does Thom regrettably.
But she is right about the fascism. She just happens to be entirely wrong about who is bringing it about. As the saying goes, she just needs to look in the mirror. The party of death, sometimes known as the democrats, is fast ushering in fascism and totalitaianism. It's in their DNA. Which party demands that everyone goose step to the extremist positions on abortion, open borders, socialism, etc.? Which party supports banning speech and print that they don't agree with? How long will it be before they call for certain books to be banned? Before long, there will be book burning parties reminiscent of Nazi Germany. Which party promotes violence as a way to achieve their goals?
The democrats of today have become pathetic caricatures of what was once a proud political party. The great democrats of yesteryear (McCarthy, Humphrey, JFK, Moynihan) are shaking their heads and crying in disbelief at what their party has now become.
Good Monday to you HotCoffee. I woke up this morning to Hugh Hewitt who replayed cuts of most of those in the democrat party clown car and the promises they made. I will miss some but One of the best was Spartacus who suggested the government provide $1000 for every baby born in America. I think he just justified President Trump's reason for asking if one was a US citizen or not. Then there was Harris who pandered her blackness to a New Orleans crowd as only a black Thom Hatrmann could have done.
Beeto was off blabbering how he was going to give billions to public education to improve the schools although in a sentence before that promise, told the crowd of dozens, his kids got a wonderful education in their public El Paso school. He also spent time begging for votes in Mexico.
Pete Butatgig spent the week telling black audience's he would give them anything and everything if only they would leave Trump and vote for him. After all if you go and kiss the ring of that pillar of society Al Sharpton, doesn't that prove you are legit?
Lilly white Kirsten Gillibrand promised all discrimination against women would be eliminated the minute she was elected. (if only she was a bit darker in skin color)
One of your finest, Eric Swalwell promised a town hall on gun control and a hefty 18 people showed up.
Fauxahontas ditched her Indian (feathers not dots) heritage and decided she was going black over the weekend screeching for racial equality. Not to be outdone, Harris doubled down on her blackness if you can count her mother who is Indian (dots not feathers) as making her "officially black" and wowed the crowd with all the times the "man" had his boot on her neck. (I wonder if she and Willie role played)
Lest we not forget the pedophile, Creepy Uncle Joe, who looked stunned over a weekend interview with a$$hat Chris Cuomo, that he was collecting dirt on all his fellow democrat candidates and was going to save it for when needed.
Meanwhile the high spot of the day, President Trump has just hit his highest approval rating and of all people to put this was MSNBC's Morning Joe show.
Sorry for the long one but you can't make this stuff up.
Stay tuned.
I think they will start the war very soon. Nobody cares about people.
tank trouble
Thank you! I'm glad to find this post. I agree with your opinion, I'm sure your ideas will be successful in the future! happy wheels
HotCoffee, two cups is all? I go for a bit insulated tumbler of the stuff. Clears the head. I know little about Jeffery Epstein. He was powerful and had a lot of people suck up to him over the years. Harvey Weinstein cut from the same cloth.
I do remember the Lolita Express and Bill Clinton's involvement but then I look at what it might have been like married to Hillary and I stopped caring about his sex life years ago.
An interesting video on Epstein. Save time and go to 5:25 and get the lowdown.
As for them trying to connect President Trump with Epstein is just another futile attempt to oust him from the WH. He will eventually have to exit after all, sometime in 2025 is my guess. Can you imagine Hatrmann and the others when Trump wins a second term? He will not be able to complete a sentence. For nothing else, it will be worth the price of admission to watch the leftie/socialists melt further into despair, and they deserve every minute of it based on their childish actions over the past 2-1/2 years.
Till tomorrow
Biden Goes Low: Warns He’ll “Smack” Trump and has Dirt on Dem Candidates: I’ve got “all this information about other people’s pasts”

let her rip Joey!
So as we move along we see more Dem concern for children.
A truck driver is facing charges after federal authorities say he attempted to smuggle 33 migrants into the United States via a trailer through the Arizona desert.
A search found the trailer filled with Mexican produce, along with hidden Mexican and El Salvadorean nationals, without fresh air or a cooling system. The group included 12 juveniles aged 3 to 17, a pregnant woman, and a convicted felon, reported U.S. Customs an Border Protection (CPB).
Yummy produce covered in sweat, scabies, mumps and God knows what else! Well at least they had something they could eat. Food recalls anyone?
“Last night, 12 children, a pregnant woman, a convicted felon, & 19 illegal aliens were found locked in a produce truck at a checkpoint. The driver, charged with human smuggling, kept the refrigeration off, so they were trapped inside where it was over 97 degrees with no way out.” The White House wrote on Twitter, and at the same time, praised and gave thanks to the Border Patrol agents who caught them.
“THANK YOU to our heroic Border Patrol agents, whose vigilance caught this smuggler and potentially saved lives!”
https://www.theepochtimes.com/border-patrol-caught-smugglers-that-crammed-33-migrants-in-locked-100-degree-trailer_2992719.html
how many children die on the trip before they get to any " Concentration camps " no reports on that.....
Send more money the Dems say....cause the corupt police, cartels and military need more to split up amongest themselves.
We sent food to venuzuela and they wouldn't let it in, we had to park it in Columbia and hope they could get to it. ...
pathetic!
Pay attention to this unfolding story, patriots. They will try to involve Donald Trump in Epstein's crimes. After all, this is coming from the Southern District of NY where James Comey's daughter is one of the prosecutors. They are desperate. Trillions of dollars are at stake, not to mention the trail of treason.
By Martin Walsh
Does fired FBI Director James Comey’s daughter work for the powerful New York’s prosecutor’s office that has waged war against President Donald Trump? It certainly appears so.
She reportedly interned at SDNY as a law clerk in 2014 before being hired full-time as a powerful lawyer for the prosecutor’s office.
Assuming she stills works for the SDNY, there are certainly several questions about whether she is overseeing any cases or matters involving Trump.
Given the president fired her father in May 2017 — and Trump has slammed James Comey several times in public — has she recused herself from cases involving the president?
In a series of tweets, Twitter user “Rosie memos” shared screenshots showing that Comey certainly appears to work for SDNY.
Diane,
So.this popped up during my second cup of coffee, showing the lefts extreme consern for children. Maybe these kids wern't brown enough?? Shame on them!
Florida billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on Saturday in New York for sex trafficking of minors, reported The Daily Beast.
NBC NEWS: Four sources with direct knowledge of the matter say that Jeffrey Epstein was taken into custody today in New York after arriving from an overseas flight.
He faces federal sex trafficking charges.
Following Epstein’s arrest Christine Pelosi, daughter of far left Speaker Nancy Pelosi, tweeted out her concern about her “faves” being caught up in the child sex abuse scandal.
Wow!
This Epstein case is horrific and the young women deserve justice. It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated but we must follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may – whether on Republicans or Democrats. #WeSaidEnough #MeToo https://t.co/2mvskwQwW1
— Christine Pelosi (@sfpelosi) July 7, 2019
So did Ms. Pelosi know about this abuse of little girls by her “faves”?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/07/far-left-democrat-christine-pelosi-quite-likely-some-of-our-faves-are-implicated-in-epstein-case/
Additionally it is important to point out that Bill Clinton has been mentioned by the press often over the years — and not just for his controversial relationship with Monica Lewinsky, but rather his friendship with Jeffery Epstein.
In fact, flight records indicate that ol’ Billy-boy would frequent the island paradise around the 2002 and 2005 era, while Hillary, Bill’s wife, was a Senator in New York.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
Hi Diane,
Yes Gavin will probably pass the health bill for illegals...in a way that might be a good thing ...why? Well between the pension deficits and the health care for illegals, normal Californians, and especially Seniors that can't afford hearing aids and other nesscessaties for quality of life just might get fed up and vote Trump. Many might also get fed up with the homeless, mentally ill and drug addicts on the street. In the posts I see at other local sites it seems many are fed up!
Our biggest problem is finding politicians to run in CA. that have name reconnition, I can only think of a handful. However remember we have recalled politicians in Ca. before. That's how we ended up with Arnold Swartznigger.
back later...........enjoy another beautiful Sunday!
