Weekend @ Bernie’s is what we’re experiencing.

Our Democrat run government does not care about law, what is just or fair. They only care about staying in power to force a one world government.

A drug addict shoots a random person & they are not liable for murder because they were unaware due to drugs.

A non President keeps classified documents knowingly and then discloses classified documents to get paid $8,000,000 9 years ago. But today he’s forgetful.

Newsoms winery stayed open during Covid despite higher death per population data in Napa while he closed our Valley bec more people tested positive but did nit die here in SB.

A mob of illegals bum rush National Guards injuring them to get across the border. They are rewarded with visa gift cards & transportation to another city where they’re provided housing.

Tyson food lays off 1,200 American Citizens to hire 5,200 illegals.

Look at Trumps trial where there are no victims.

Look at our SBUSD & how many known sexual predators they chose to keep and allow access to children.

What you & I do is under scrutiny. While the top does whatever they want.

And the Cult of the Donkey, your Democrat voting spouse, friend, neighbor always vote D.

Don’t worry, soon Biden will be removed after they rig the 2024 election & place Bernie back in with Barrack as his VP. . Then Obama will slide back into the Whitehouse. Watch.

Brian, You sound so unhappy. Time for you to leave this country you clearly don’t love. You also don’t have a truthful source for your skewered wrong information. Go, and take your buddies with you.

Brian's assertions are not conjecture - those are the facts!

You speak like a true Leftist (the part about how Brian should leave because his opinion differs from yours). Here's my story, and I'm sticking to it: I LOVE California, and would love to stay here, but the LEFTISTS (who are not liberals) who have run this state for decades have made it impossible for the working-class to stay, and that's why they are leaving in droves. I actually had someone say to me "If you don't like California, why don't you join the rest of the bigots and move to a Republican state?" There you go! If you dare to point out facts, you're a bigot! By the way, unlike 90+% of the American people, I'm not voting for Biden nor for Trump, neither of whom have shown moral character.

Agree with some of what you say, but nonetheless my disgust with Newsom might even be greater than yours. The damage that man, and his party, have done to this state is absolutely mind-numbing. How can any working-class person with a functioning brain support him?

Thomas John you ignorant slut. You tweetie birds just can't help putting in your digs against the great Donald John Trump. While you might find his pallor off-putting, his mental capacity clearly exceeds both Biden's and yours. Trump built his wealth in the real estate business then decided to have a 10 year run in his own television show then decided to run for office and became president on his first try. Meanwhile Biden was feeding at the public trough and to this day nobody seems to be able to explain how he accumulated his wealth on a public parasite salary. I shouldn't dignify by response the musings of a brainwashed worm. Thomas John, what have you accomplished?

Jeffie Barton….what have you accomplished? What’s so great anyway about what thief, tax-evaded, liar, sexual abuser, loser of election d.j. Dump did in his miserable life? Not one iota of humanity, love, kindness, fairness, in his self-servicing life. Nothing better for him now than JAIL for the rest of his uneducated selfish life.

Well, I've raised a few great kids. Volunteered for a 1/2 dozen organizations in town, from Scouts to trail building. Stayed married to the same woman, no golfing dates with Stormy or anything. Had a security clearance for a decade and never showed folks I was trying to swoon anything I had access too. But If it makes you feel good to call me names that's about you for sure.

If Santa Barbara Current allows aging "journalists" to write whatever is in their addled mind as if its clever and thought provoking when its just an embarrassment to most; Is that elder abuse?

J Livingston….there is NO public service or benefit to your article (s) , especially comments on the present political scene. This is just one of practically no other publications / emails in S.B. for frustrated Republicans to print more Dump-lies about the state of our country…..ignoring the dangers to our Democracy in exchange for voting for a man who will hopefully reduce their taxes. THAT is the only benefit the nasty nose-holding Republicans will get from a Dump presidency……and the buggers are willing to give up our freedom, our Democracy in hopes of getting a little richer. TDUMP will enhance HIS PERSONAL LIFE….especially since it is now evident he is financially ( and morally ) BROKE…..not anyone else’s life, you dummies. And, wise men are forecasting that if the dumpy one gets in, he will arrange…like Putin…..to stay in till he dies, which I, for one, will gratefully say “ Rest in Pieces, you awful awful man .” Yes, he will, he will, he will die.

Many citizens have similar serious questions about pResident Biden given the great power of the office…

What 'off-market' drugs are being provided to JB in order to sustain minimum daily function?

What is the real medical diagnosis of JB?

Who is managing his care?

Who is 'really' managing his care?

Given his ever-degrading mental faculties, Methinks that [they] plan to replace Sleepy Joe ASAP…his value is gone: can‘t walk/talk, exposed as pedo & criminal, everyone knows he’s not running the place & [they] now know that everyone knows…MSM is turning on Crooked Joe & The Mockingbird always tells of their next moves…

People who are intelligent, subscribe to truthful sources for information, and do their own critical thinking do NOT question the intelligent, caring humanity, and leadership of President Biden.

With a criminal tax-evader Republican A-hole as a demented candidate for that office, I don’t know why you Republicans dare say one negative word about our President. I wish one of you would list truthfully……a serious request…..what does trump possible offer America? He hates everyone except a few white men; he’s a tax evader, which means he has cheated Americans of money he owes, he’s a liar, a sexual abuser, denied the truth about 2020 election, professes to love Hitler and Putin, professes to be a dictator if elected, his friends and lawyers have mostly gone to jail or been disbarred……WHAT HAS HE DONE THAT IS GOOD FOR AMERICA? Please tell me. No one of you addresses that….he is one mammoth disaster; why do you want him as President? SPEAK…..someone…..the TRUTH, not more lies.

here & now, we are living the curse of Lin Biao…he was the key figure that devised and implemented the tactics used for the Chinese Cultural Revolution in the mid1960s under Chairman Mao...

Nancy, taking your oft-requested plea for face value, here is a good place to start the transition into understanding why Trump (and the conservative movement) is and remains so popular. And growing, among young people.

Many conservatives enjoy the perspectives offered by Victor Davis Hansen and find the following book spoke and continues to speak for many of us: https://www.hoover.org/research/victor-davis-hanson-case-trump

Enjoy reading this - it is probably available at the library or used on eBay. Hoover Institution is also a good bookmark to follow, to stay current on widely held conservative thought. Appreciate your continued requests for better understanding on this topic.

Yes, it would be helpful if everyone would read conservative views, and know what you're talking about instead of what media tell him

As this new discussion forum begins to take form, this is a good time to be reminded of the fruits from another aging brain, written one year before his death: Saul Alinksy's Rules for Radicals:

"The Rules

"Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."

"Never go outside the expertise of your people."

"Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."

"Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

"A good tactic is one your people enjoy."

"A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."

"Keep the pressure on."

"The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."

"The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."

"If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."

"The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."

"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

J.LIVINGSTON….you have the bad taste to quote one Sharyl Attkisson? She taught kindergarten and might have done some learning in, I believe, a Florida college…..?? Must check my sources.

.Hardly a scholar. Why would she have an info of value?

Now, check the education of a Maddow, ( MSNBC ), ( go ahead, Google HER education) plus the superb nightly delivery cum clearly defined sources of Lawrence ODonnell. The news on that station is from highly educated esteemed prosecutors, authors, men who have been scholars all their lives….but MOST importantly….they quote trusted and respected sources, sources verified and confirmed by other respected commentator on BBC, PBS.

MSNBC commentators I just named ALWAYS DEMONSTRATE THE SOURCE OF THEIR COMMENTS.

On the other side…we have opinionated clowns on the FOXXY…big mouths with not much of anything worth hearing except slander which they think is funny. Oh.

Dawson…..still waiting.for ONE trump achievement. Where are they? On the other hand:

Sixteen women claim he abused them.

30 companies won’t loan him money.

He lied about owning Trump Tower…..he may own the land it’s on but not the building in spite of the

big ugly sign on it

He lied about being rich…can’t pay his dues…been begging to him dumb followers whom he disdains

Cheated Americans out of the taxes he never paid but should have

91 counts of possible conviction

BEing sued by several Capitol policemen who got hurt during Jan. 6.insurrection….Trump’s idea

Owes mucho dollars to E. Jean Carroll

Loves Putin

Loved and admired Hitler

Married two immigrants but hates immigrants to U.S.

Calls immigrants “ rapists “….which of course HE IS….A RAPIST!

Not fit for anything above being a rat catcher…..!

So….waiting to hear how he will enhance this country or its people …..hmmmmmm ?

Dale,

How can we possibly do brunch without murdering each other, let alone my possibly choking while listening to your lies?

I’m still waiting for SOMEONE to name one of The Dump’s virtue. To answer you question, I know such things about the Dump from listening to HIM, NPR, PBS, BBC, trusted Prosecutors, honorable law professors ( Tribe ) at Harvard, my good instincts, reading, and the fact that NO ONE ever names one virtue of that uneducated criminal named trump. Everyone either talks about making more money with trump or maligns Biden un fairly.

ALSO, OUR AMERICAN LAWS SAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT TRUMP has broken many of the laws of this country. You didn’t question that Hitler was a monster, did you? Why do you not attribute MONSTERHOOD to this criminal named trump? He hates as many as Hitler and will do what Hitler did because trump says he admires Hitler. Have you not heard him say that? You keep asking me how I know.

I’m intelligent, I can read, I listen well, I know right from wrong, I think clearly……besides all that, many different prosecutors of the U.S. have said TRUMP HAS BROKEN THE LAWS OF THE U.S. Good enough for me. Have I answered your question for the fifth time?

I totally disagree. There is a good reason why Biden raised 10 million after The State of the Union. He was sharp, confident and highlighted his accomplishments.

Trump may suck all the energy out of the room with his crazy rants but Biden gets things done.

Expand full comment

Nancy, Biden taps into 22 million government employees in this country and their unions, who are only too happy to ensure only a Democrat freely spends our tax dollars and then some. Any Biden "fund-raising" should never be used as a surrogate for anything other than a prime example of more insider Democrat pay to play.

It is unlikely the 59 million small business owners in this country, are on Biden's "fundraising" lists. And it is also not an accomplishment to push this nation further into massive debt, nor ignore its national sovereignty after four years of Biden's open border policies. Perhaps that is why Biden's "fiery" SOTU address failed to move the needle in any of his approval numbers.

(BTW:Congrats for not using the post SOTU preferred mockingbird media phrase "fiery". Appreciated.)
