Very true. Most of us who live(d) in Far-Northern California (Siskiyou County, the largest – and least populated) are (were in my case) conservative. The Sheriff went public with telling the Feds his department would not enforce any new gun laws. I’m hoping he told his state legislators, too, since they recently passed some really oppressive gun laws, but I haven’t followed up on that.

No, it is not the answer. Running away from it is never the answer. There are too many people who do not live in coastal areas where the population of libbies is densest, and that includes the state of New York. NYC is leftist. New York State is not, despite it idjit governor. Is your intent to abandon those who do NOT want to secede from the US, just because the spoiled snots in SanFran, NYC, etc., shout louder? I know people in Oregon and Washington who despise the whack jobs in Seattle and Portland.
Why not instead, turn those cities into city states, with no connection to the rest of the state?
Why not make Chicago/Cook County a city-state, and the rest of the state a separate entity? Down-staters seldom get their voices heard in Springfield because of the monster Madigan, who thinks he owns the whole state. Even the newspapers are turning against him! (gasp!)
Running away from it is NEVER the solution.

Good luck on ever changing things in California as long as the cities are allowed to dominate politics. Same thing happened in Oregon when I moved there from Northern Californica. Ended up in Montana, where the liberals who moved here from LA, SF, Portland and Seattle have packed our larger towns (can’t really qualify as cities) and have been responsible for Democratic slime like Tester and (formerly) Baucus. BUT, we’ve got good people like Gary Marbut, head of the Montana Shooting Sports Association who is skilled at getting good gun laws through the legislature, and he has gotten a large number of them past our progressive dirt-bag of a governor (Bullock). We don’t yet have Constitutional Carry (legislature passed it, Bullock vetoed it), but it is legal to carry without a permit everywhere except in the towns and “cities”.

I agree about splitting Chicago from Illinois, and the same for many other large cities. If a metropolitan area is more than 5 million population, more than 40% of the state population (voters), and less than 10% of the state by area, it should be split off as a city-state, assuming the voters of at least one of the proposed new states approve.
And states should regain the right to secede or to join a neighboring nation, by a 2/3 popular vote. E.g., as a small-town Michigander, I’d be happy with the Detroit-Flint area either being a separate state or becoming Canadian.
If I was the temporary dictator of North America, I’d create somewhere between 15 and 40 city-states like that, and in some areas I’d go considerably further. Detroit, Flint, and Ann Arbor would join southern Ontario. Northern Ontario would be joined to Michigan, maybe with a strip to also give Minnesota access to Hudson’s bay. Western Canada would vote on whether they wanted to be a separate nation (Greater Columbia?), join the USA, or remain in Canada (with transit rights across the new American territory in a corridor including the major highways and railroads north of Lake Superior). California would be reduced to west of the coastal range and from the Mexican border to 50 miles north of San Francisco – with the possibility of part of this becoming Mexican later. Sacramento and the rural counties would have the option of forming a new state or joining the bordering states.

It’s a long time coming, and I’ve said it before, the far left side of the fence is losing its hold on the political pendulum. Europe – Italy, France, Austria, UK, etc. – all saying essentially: Das ist genauf!!!!
We more moderate people who have seen through the lies, the displaced anger, the disinformation, etc., will find the fog to be clearing, whether the Leftwumps like it or not. They’ve had more than 8 years of trying to boil Reality out of existence and have only succeeded in getting themselves burnt. Read this article: Europe is slowly moving toward the right. I hope it does not go too far to the right and become the very thing THEY accuse US of being, when we are not that.
The ‘center’ hasn’t been holding for a while. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. We are going to face more shocks for a while, so be prepared to ride it out. Stay alert!
I”m not sure about this, so it’s just my opinion, but socialism seems to have hit its last stride, has stumbled, fell and can’t get up. Socialism and caring about other people are not the same thing. Socialism does NOT care about others. It cares only about itself.

Remember Pearl y’all, and thank a WWII vet before they’re all gone.
Along about 1963 or ’64 I’d have been nine or ten, attending a tiny elementary school by Lake Okeechobee, with a tiny library where I guess I read most of the books they had. The two I will always remember were about boys like me; “A Boy And His Gun” by Janes, and “We Were There At Pearl Harbor”. ABAHG shaped my attitude, my politics, and my career. WWTAPH informed my understanding of life and history and appreciation for being an American. And both of them did it in such a way as to enthrall and interest my young mind and make me remember the them and their deeply intertwined lessons to this day…yes indeed through those books I was there at Pearl.

I also remember replacing the radiator and fan, water pump, brakes, power steering pump and the electric window riders.
I don’t see YOU getting any job offers either, BITCH
And sucking your own dick, AINT a job
Still wish we had up keys.
Funny…but UNpossible:

Yeah! Obumbles can pull thirty inches of mercury on an onion sack.
But sucking Michelle’s is a job.
And we all know that Obama sucks.
Yeah, the U.N. didn’t hold the Secretary-General’s office open for him.
Poor little cupcake, how will he be able to handle their rejection?
I really wish they had…that would have made Amerexit from it more immediate and the total collapse of it more imminent.
Ken’s kinda rude, but there’s always a rude truth in what he says.;)
It’s a long time coming, and I’ve said it before, the far left side of the fence is losing its hold on the political pendulum. Europe – Italy, France, Austria, UK, etc. – all saying essentially: Das ist genauf!!!!

We more moderate people who have seen through the lies, the displaced anger, the disinformation, etc., will find the fog to be clearing, whether the Leftwumps like it or not. They’ve had more than 8 years of trying to boil Reality out of existence and have only succeeded in getting themselves burnt. Read this article: Europe is slowly moving toward the right. I hope it does not go too far to the right and become the very thing THEY accuse US of being, when we are not that.

The ‘center’ hasn’t been holding for a while. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. We are going to face more shocks for a while, so be prepared to ride it out. Stay alert!
I”m not sure about this, so it’s just my opinion, but socialism seems to have hit its last stride, has stumbled, fell and can’t get up. Socialism and caring about other people are not the same thing. Socialism does NOT care about others. It cares only about itself.
Sorry if I got too preachy, it’s just me rattling on.
Oh, nuts, dropped in the same link twice. My bad. Sorry, CM!
It is kinda cute when they get bitchy at each other. Trump will have to scrub the White House down with bleach and replace ALL the bedding.
No, they’re going to have to use ethylene oxide. This is a MAJOR decontamination project!
Zar Belk!
re. The White House,, how many bugs are in that place? V. Sheymov’s Tower of Secrets” showed what the Chinese did to the E. Germans don’t you know. BTW with some of the silly fussing by the press because they are losing their power to “contextualize” (i.e. “spin”, i.e. lie) maybe it is the WH press corpse.
This is a very valid point. In one of his Smiley novels John le Carré had the walls being torn out of Circus HQ as they searched for microphones planted by the traitor Bill Haydon. One character surveys the damage and says, “Had the Irish over for tea?” Bugs will be much harder to detect now.
Expect prrogressves and Democrats to have the place bugged to hear future conversations.
At least two debuggings are needed.
Chris there was a Planned Parenthood ad on your left side for a few minutes when I opened the site. Now replaced with B+H photo ad. IS Google controlling your site ads?
Spin
Spin: I get Date Asia and such.
Go figure.
One thing I do know is that all the school kids will finally get some food in their stomachs that isn’t under/over cooked, moldy or out of date.
AND be allowed to eat what they brought from home.
It’s only 11:20 P.M. here in the fla right now, but this is Wednesday’s ‘toon dated 12/7 and I’m going to bed, so…
Remember Pearl y’all, and thank a WWII vet before they’re all gone.
Along about 1963 or ’64 I’d have been nine or ten, attending a tiny elementary school by Lake Okeechobee, with a tiny library where I guess I read most of the books they had. The two I will always remember were about boys like me; “A Boy And His Gun” by Janes, and “We Were There At Pearl Harbor”. ABAHG shaped my attitude, my politics, and my career. WWTAPH informed my understanding of life and history and appreciation for being an American. And both of them did it in such a way as to enthrall and interest my young mind and make me remember the them and their deeply intertwined lessons to this day…yes indeed through those books I was there at Pearl.
Gettin’ weepy here. Anyway, thank you men.
All of the survivors of Pearl Harbor that I knew are now dead.
I have thanked a few WW2 veterans and talked with them in the last month. they are not around like they used to be. I spoke with a Korean War vet yesterday.
I went to a different school for high school as I had read both the grade school and high school library by 7th grade.
Reading is fundamental to much development.
Progressives brainwash and train. That is not the same as education.
So those books added to your good education.
I think you mean “flack,” i.e., presstitute. Flak is what AA fragmentation shells deliver. (Derned spell-checkers…)
Flak is a German abbreviation for “Flieger abwher Kanonen”. Flyer against cannons or anti-aircraft guns.
If you note the ‘toon title as well as the usage in the ‘toon itself, you will see that Chris knew exactly what he was doing with the homophones. Always appreciated by a werd nerd like me. 🙂
Chris – is this Sam in the flesh???

Wow. That was fun to watch!
Oh, yeah! But none of those would be quick to get into action.
If you are in a “quick draw” situation, you weren’t paying attention. And although we practice for such a contingency, it has to be subordinate to the reaction of “get out of the way”. Not to mention the attacker might well be stunned to inaction when she pulls up on her skirt or shirt.
We sure that’s not a man? 😉
Gun Grabber: Hey lady, what are you afraid of?
Pretty lady: Not a damn thing.
I think I just feel in love again.
I see she follows the never leave the house unless you are properly attired rule. Time to get my CCW.
Thanks for the vid, Gary. Damn but she had it all together, didn’t she? No way she NEEDS any of that spandex either.
Needless to say, we don’t want him back in Kansas City.
The news for D.C. just keeps getting worse and worse. Donny Boy is not even in office and Obola’s effect is already eroding.
Loving it!
Pearl Harbor 75 years ago.
Young entitled Brats, don`t know or care that their whole way of
life is because of “The Greatest Generation”.
Trump = the Bobby Fischer of politics?
Whether or not, Fischer is what’s in the nightmares of nightmares such as Putin because, you know, it did happen once, it could happen again, someone or something completely outside their careful machinations. This goes for the Chinese (who pride themselves on this bullshit too) as well as the Russkies. “Charlie Wilson’s War” is in the genre although it leaves out the regular Reagan/Tip O’Neill meetings, but that was two Irish getting together.
JTC, I purposely didn’t follow your link yesterday (on your warning), but then you quoted huffpo and that made me puke a little, dang it!
Side note: Why did they mention “pussy bow” for Melania, but not Moochelle? (anatomical differences?)
Not having read that article, but, commenting anyway. 🙂 balls
Melania Trump wore a dress to the debate right after the TV “celebrity” baby Bush nephew Bushy Bush and his edited tape of trump discussing pussy was aired. The bow on that dress is commonly called a pussy bow in the fashion industry. I call that as an intention insult to those who were attacking her man. The dress looked great on her. She was a fashion model, as both a sister of mine was and niece is.
Thanks for that, but apologies, if I have to es’plain my attempt at humor there, it must not have been as good as I thought.
Bitterness, it’s all the left ever had. Watching them lose their minds and their world is turning out to be the best Christmas present ever. I fully expect Emperor Puppethead to become more childish and lash out as Trump’s 100 days Trumps Barry’s house of cards.
You know it made them sick to admit it, but even they couldn’t deny it:
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/2016-person-of-the-year-donald-trump/ar-AAlf7ZD?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=mailsignout
And of the decade. And quite possibly of the century.
I hope this is the beginning of a trend.
The MSM now recognizes (at least the intelligent ones) that the price to be paid for their half-truths (and whole lies) was the trust of the public.
And they’ve got a whole lot of hard work ahead of them if they ever hope to earn that trust back.
I’d love to see the return of investigative reporting and honest opinion presentation, but we’ll have to wait and see.
CNN = Clearly Not News
One is over the target when the flak is heaviest.
This is pure irony. WaPo now has an article reporting that the Pentagon has hidden $125 million in wasteful spending during the Obadman admin, which was money that could have gone into paychecks and benefits for military personnel.
I know: it sounds like a Twilight Zone episode, but sometimes the Light of Reality dawns again. And it’s YOUR tax money, boys and girls. Maybe – just maybe – things will get better.
Pisses me off no end. I was required to stay within budget on all of my projects and had to validate any overages which 95% of the time I had changes from the client and an increased commitment. The other 5%, I was able to show someone in the field had Fd-UP.
