Will the so called media report on this story? John Diepersloot squinted under a bright Central Valley sun, pointing to the damage to his fruit orchard that came with the California bullet train. He lost 70 acres of prime land. Rail contractors left mounds of rubble along his neat rows. Irrigation hoses are askew. A sophisticated canopy system for a kiwi field, supported by massive steel cables, was torn down. But what really irritates Diepersloot is the $250,000 that he paid out of his own pocket for relocating wells, removing trees, building a road and other expenses. “I am out a quarter-million bucks on infrastructure, and they haven’t paid a dime for a year,” he said. “I don’t have that kind of money.” Up and down the San Joaquin Valley, farmers have similar stories. The state can take land with a so-called order of possession by the Superior Court while it haggles over the price. But farmers often face out-of-pocket costs for lost production, road replacement, repositioning of irrigation systems and other expenses, which the state agrees to pay before the final settlement. Those payments and even some payments for land have stretched out to three years. State officials have offered endless excuses for not paying, the farmers say. Eminent domain, the legal process by which government takes private land, is complicated enough, particularly in California with a maze of agencies involved. But the rail authority’s constantly changing plans, thin state staff and reliance on outside attorneys have made it more difficult, some say. “They are bogged down,” said Mark Wasser, an eminent domain attorney in Sacramento who has represented more than 70 farmers and other businesses losing land to the rail project. “I would draw an analogy to Napoleon’s invasion of Russia.” I could be wrong, but my guess is “John Diepersloot” is a white male farmer/businessman so the MSM/DNC thinks he’s what is wrong with California and deserves the pain he is suffering; so no, they won’t report on this. Long live the train to nowhere! |

Maybe Gavin will challenge him to a fight. I would pay to see it. Along these same lines California teachers strike citing class size issues and continue to support illegal immigration. When will this once great state wake up? Not bashing individual teachers as I know some who are teaching for the rights reasons...but the teachers union influence in Sacramento is one of the big problems in California right now. Also, I had no idea that Herschel Walker was a racist, hate spewing bigot... Hershcel is a Republican living in Texas. Sohehas common sense |

The only thing worse that incompetence is an incompetent attorney who drags his feet every step of the way so that absolutely nothing gets accomplished. When they hire outside counsel the outside counsel does nothing but do everything they can to churn their bill be wasting hours and hours of time on irrelevant matters that do nothing but pad their hourly bill. |

Hollywood speaks yet again:
“Designated Survivor” showrunner Dr. Neal Baer celebrated the series' return by bashing both Stephen Miller and Mitch McConnell.
The show, previously canceled by ABC, made the move to Netflix for Season 3 on June 7. Without the constraints of a network, Baer said he is allowing the real-life political climate to seep into the show. The new season features a character played by Aaron Ashmore that the showrunner says is inspired by Trump aide, Miller.
“A twisted character,” Baer told The Daily Beast in an interview of the character named Phil Brunton.
He noted that, while the star’s policy-making and villainy are meant to be inspired by Miller, Brunton doesn’t have the same look.
“I am more shocked by Mitch McConnell’s duplicity and pusillanimous actions and his work to completely f--- up the country,” Baer shared. “I don’t think he even believes in any of this stuff. I see Mitch McConnell as being as bad as ISIS. I think he’s as deep a threat to the country as ISIS. And I think he’s a traitor to the country.”

Former Vice President Joe Biden promised at a campaign event in Iowa on Tuesday that if he is elected president in 2020, the United States would cure cancer. The presidential hopeful ― whose eldest son, Beau Biden, died from brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46 ― was speaking at a campaign event in Ottumwa, one of several that he had scheduled in the state. “I’ve worked so hard in my career that, I promise you, if I’m elected president, you’re going to see the single most important thing that changes America: We’re going to cure cancer,” he said. As campaign promises go, the ambition of this one overlooks a lot of complexities of the disease — like, for example, the fact that “cancer” is actually more than 100 diseases and therefore not likely treatable with a single cure-all. In his prepared statements for another event, Biden prodded President Donald Trump over his previous comments about the disease, noting that Trump “thinks windmills cause cancer.” www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-biden-cancer-cure-elected-president_n_5cfffb9de4b075510398e1d6 |

Hollywood speaks again:
David Letterman enjoyed having Donald Trump appear as a guest on the late-night talk shows he hosted for 33 years, NBC's Late Night with David Letterman (1982-1993) and CBS's Late Show with David Letterman (1993-2015), but the current host of Netflix's My Next Guest Needs No Introduction is no longer a fan of the New York mogul who became the 45th president. This much was made abundantly clear during a rare interview that Letterman granted to The Hollywood Reporter's 'Awards Chatter' podcast.
"More than 30?" Letterman exclaimed in disbelief when told how many times Trump was his guest. "Wow! You're welcome, America." Turning serious, the 72-year-old said, "I think he just liked being on TV. I had no sense that he was the soulless bastard that he's turned into."

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago police are searching for a man who sexually abused a girl waiting for the Pink Line Monday morning.
The girl was standing on the platform at the Western station, 2100 S. Western Ave., about 8:30 a.m. when she was approached by a man she didn't know who "sexually abused her as he performed a lewd act," police said.
The man was described as a 6 ft. tall black man with a short hairstyle. He seemed to be about 17 to 20 years old, police said, and was last seen wearing a red or maroon sweatshirt, ripped blue jeans and slide-on sandals.

The ever classy left. I really hope the DNC takes this exact approach next election cycle:
Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, appeared to get a reprimand on Tuesday after she read a constituent letter attacking President Trump and his supporters.
After Fudge read the letter, which described Trump as a "gangster" and "sexually condescending to women," presiding officer Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Texas, reminded her that she couldn't read other people's remarks attacking the president.
“The chair will remind members that remarks and debate may not engage in personalities towards the president, including by repeating remarks made elsewhere that would be improper if spoken in the members own words,” Veasy said.
Fudge seemed indignant and appeared to ask what Veasy meant by "personalities." As she stayed near the front of the chamber, Rep. Larry Bucshon, R-Ind., called her out by asking, "Are we in order or what are we doing?" After Fudge responded to him, Bucschon shot back, "No, you're out of order
Fudge's letter came from Ronald S. Williams, senior pastor and chief executive officer of Mount Zion Fellowship in Ohio. Williams' letter denounced Trump, calling him a "proven liar" among other things.
His supporters, Williams said, were "either racist, steeped in racist religious beliefs, ignorant, or as my mother used to say, just plain dumb.” Fudge tweeted a video of her reading but didn't include the exchange with Buschon.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, had a sharp response to a New York Times writer who accused him of not supporting the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund.
Comedian Jon Stewart rocked Capitol Hill on Tuesday and slammed lawmakers who were absent from a House subcommittee hearing on the renewal for funding for the health expenses of first responders, many who have been battling cancer nearly two decades after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
NYT contributing op-ed writer Wajahat Ali blasted Republicans on Twitter Tuesday and attempted to question their patriotism for not backing the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. He also claimed Crenshaw hasn't sponsored the fund's renewal while praising the involvement of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
"Anytime a Republican says they are 'patriots' ask them if they voted to fund the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. You know who's for it? Ilhan Omar. You know who hasn't sponsored it? Dan Crenshaw," Ali wrote in the now-deleted tweet.
He then told Crenshaw, "I hope you do the right thing. If not, why aren't you?"
Crenshaw responded, telling Ali he was a co-sponsor of the fund.
"Hey 'journalist,' maybe you should check your facts. I am a co-sponsor. Nice try though," Crenshaw tweeted.
The freshman congressman also included an x-ray of his skull from the injuries he sustained while serving as a Navy SEAL and captioned it, "patriotism.

CNN political analyst Brian Karem was accused of spreading "fake news" on Twitter about President Trump's impromptu media conference on Tuesday and was later forced to clarify his tweet.
While taking questions from reporters, Trump waved what he said was the written agreement recently made between the U.S. and Mexico that is meant to address the migration crisis.
Karem, however, shared a video and suggested that the sheet of paper the president held was "blank."
"POTUS holds up what appears to be a blank piece of paper claiming it contains the Mexican deal. Refuses to answer when I ask him to show us," Karem tweeted.
However, Washington Post photographer Jabin Botsford captured an image of the folded piece of paper, which shows texts visible likely due to the sunlight. It is unclear what the text was.

I wonder why FB is afraid to answer questions from Foxnews during a media day. www.foxnews.com/tech/facebook-sandberg-downplays-calls-breakup-ignores-wsj-bombshellOver 50 reporters were gathered in Facebook’s lobby prior to the event when news of a Wall Street Journal report that CEO Mark Zuckerberg allegedly sent emails indicating he was aware of “potentially problematic privacy practices” at the company began to circulate. Sandberg did not receive a question about this report, much to the chagrin of reporters “I expected to be disappointed but that exceeded my expectations,” a reporter was heard venting after the session. Facebook had asked some of the reporters in attendance to submit their questions in advance, allowing Sandberg to prepare for anything considered combative or unfriendly. Fox News submitted questions about Facebook’s community standards providing protections for immigration status but not political affiliation, intellectual diversity, free speech vs. hate speech and whether or not conservative sentiments could be deemed hate speech by liberal curators. Fox News was not called on during the session. Many reporters complained that Facebook honchos focused on lifestyle and self-promotional tidbits while hard news reporters were left wondering why negativity surrounding the company was largely ignored. “We don’t want people to see fake news on Facebook, so we are taking action,” Sandberg said before explaining that misinformation is referred to a third-party fact checker and content that could result in “real world violence” is removed. Israeli reporter Dror Globerman, who was openly frustrated by the lack of real journalism allowed at the event, yelled a question about Facebook’s algorithms exploiting the vulnerabilities of users for profit as Sandberg was wrapping things up. |

 The so called community: The above member of the so called community killed a former marine. The only good news is the marine got off a shot that killed this guy in self defense. A Marine veteran in Florida was shot and killed last week during a road rage shootout that occurred as he tried apologizing to a driver for cutting her off in traffic. Keith Byrne, 41, was driving a utility vehicle on April 7 when he cut off the driver of a BMW in the Miami suburb of Davie, WFOR-TV reported. A friend who was on the phone with Byrne at the time said he got out his vehicle at a stoplight to apologize. A passenger in the BMW, Andre Sinclair, 22, got out and shot Byrne in the chest. Byrne fired back with his own weapon, hitting Sinclair twice. “Mr. Byrne was acting in self-defense when he ultimately fired back at Mr. Sinclair,” Davie police Sgt. Mark Leone told the news station. Both men held concealed-carry permits, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinal. Byrne died at the scene; Sinclair was taken to a hospital, where he died two days later. |

The so called media:
NEW YORK (AP) — The New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow sure knows how to get a media crowd buzzing.
The Pulitzer Prize winner accepted a Mirror Award for media reporting from Syracuse University on Thursday for his stories on sexual misconduct at CBS, including allegations that toppled the corporation’s former leader, Leslie Moonves.
Like other award winners, he saluted fellow journalists and industry leaders at the Manhattan luncheon for bravery in producing stories that keep the media honest and transparent — even at the cost of burning bridges and losing job opportunities.
At the same time, he said “I can see people who have lied to protect power.”

I present to you the DNC in all of their glory:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The topic of reparations for slavery is headed to Capitol Hill for its first hearing in more than a decade with writer Ta-Nehisi Coates and actor Danny Glover set to testify before a House panel.
The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties is scheduled to hold the hearing next Wednesday, its stated purpose "to examine, through open and constructive discourse, the legacy of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, its continuing impact on the community and the path to restorative justice." The date of the hearing, June 19, coincides with Juneteenth, a cultural holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved black people in America.
Former Democratic Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the longtime sponsor of House Resolution 40, first proposed the measure calling for a study of reparations in 1989. Conyers reintroduced the bill every session until his resignation in 2017 .
Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, the resolution's new sponsor, introduced it earlier this year and pushed for next week's hearing. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in February that she supports a reparations study, a topic that hasn't been the subject of a House hearing since 2007.

It’s a terrible loss, and both the deceased are idiot hotheads who relied on their guns to “solve” the problem here. That one is a marine is irrelevant. That one is black is also irrelevant. Both had legal concealed carry permits. I ask again, if you were in a car which was just cut off and at the next stoplight someone gets out of that car and starts walking toward yours, what do you do? TRO |

Homicide According to the US Department of Justice, African Americans accounted for 52.5% of all homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with European Americans 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%. The offending rate for African Americans was almost 8 times higher than European Americans, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Most homicides were intraracial, with 84% of European Americans victims killed by European Americans, and 93% of African Americans victims were killed by African Americans.[49][50][51] In 2013, number and percentage of murder arrests by race were: Black or African Americans 4,379 = 51.3% White Americans (non-Hispanic Americans) 2,861 = 33.5% Hispanic Americans 1,096 = 12.8% American Indians or Alaska Natives 98 = 1.14% Asian Americans 101 = 1.18%[52][53] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States |

This is as cruel as it gets. This is the DNC and they have done more hard to black people than the klan has in my lifetime. And any public defender in the state of Florida would get that murder charge laughed out of court thanks to the stand your ground law in that state. I have no reason to disbelieve Mr Byrne intended to apologize for his poor driving however it is (1) his poor driving and (2) his decision to exit his vehicle at a stoplight which started and then escalated this tragic confrontation. Do you know how Mr Byrne was carrying himself as he walked toward the vehicle he just cut off? I’m sure even though he had a concealed license, he was likely carrying on a very visible hip holster (it is the only plausible explanation for being able to get shot and return fire that quickly). So again I ask, a vehicle just cut you off. Someone in that vehicle, with a holstered firearm, starts approaching your vehicle. What do you do? Black people are more likely to be perpetrators of violent crime than white people. People carrying firearms are also more likely to be perpetrators of firearm violence than people not carrying firearms. You don’t need to beat the statistics drum at me. I’m not bclay. I would just like you to place yourself in Mr Sinclair’s position, hypothetically, and let me know how you would react. If only one thing about Mr Byrne’s life is changed (black instead of white) do you react differently? Someone who cut you off is carrying a gun and approaching your stopped car. What do you do? TRO Edit: by the way, as you are looking up statistics, what’s the percentage of the population who has a legal concealed carry permit and is a convicted violent criminal? |

I drive in a way to avoid such conflicts or accidents. If there is any sign of conflict I would do everything I can to safely get away from it. Only if faced with a true self defense situation would I engage. There is no winner in these conflicts. If we take this story as reported the guy cut off the other guy and tries to say he was sorry and gets shot. He then returns fire. Cutting a guy off should not cause fun shots. Getting shot certainly can.

Getting shot certainly can. I don’t think you are being intentionally disingenuous. I do however need to point out you are omitting one crucial detail. According to the story, Mr Byrne exited his vehicle at a stoplight and approached the vehicle driven by Mr Sinclair’s girlfriend. Mr Sinclair’s daughter was also in the vehicle. An unknown person to Mr Byrne, who had recently driven aggressively, exited his vehicle at the next stoplight and approached the vehicle with Mr Sinclair’s family while armed with a gun. These are facts. While it’s not how I would have acted, Mr Sinclair, according to Florida law, was well within his rights to use lethal force to end a perceived threat to himself, his family or his property. Mr Byrne reacted, well within his rights, to the now escalated threat by responding with lethal force. Ultimately, both Mr Byrne and Mr Sinclair decided to be fucking idiots and both lost their lives because of those decisions. It’s not black on white violence. It’s not racism. It’s to individuals paying the ultimate price for 10 seconds of idiocy and immaturity. TRO |

Being a felon (and even many misdemeanants) automatically disqualifies you from concealed carry and legal firearm ownership (though who knows in some CA counties at this point). TRO |
