I was watching a bit of a live conference this morning put on by the Congressional Black Caucus and the Conference of National Black Churches and the topic was voter ID. I listened to these people whine and complain about the issue of producing a ID so voter fraud would be a bit harder to achieve. It was the same old crap by a bunch of people who think the "evil" white male is out to screw them over. HERE is the CSPAN story and video.
Of course they did not come right out and say that but after they went through the list of affected groups, by default the only one they left out was "white males". During the presentation by some babe from the ACLU about felons voting, I knew we were going to get some heart wrenching pleas for those rapists and murderers and drug dealers at and around our schools being denied the vote. It was not disappointing. I did find out though that Maine and Vermont are the only two states that allow felons to vote right from the clink! All the other 55 states don't allow a inmate to vote and many if not most don't allow ex-felons to vote after they served their time. This was apparently a fact since the Revolutionary War.
Well, the babe from the ACLU was crying about how the 5.5 million people, mostly men and disproportionately black and Hispanic do not get to cast their vote. Oh my, it just breaks my heart that the local murderer or rapist can't cast their intelligent vote for some liberal sap who wants to rehab them on our dime. Wah wah wah! America is under assault by these people. Why would we want the local felons to be picking the representatives for the regular law abiding people? The left wants them to vote because they might make the difference in a close race and GOD knows those rapists and killers would undoubtedly vote for the democrat.
America is better than this and I am personally sick and tired of these people accusing the people who have a lighter skin color of being some sort of "devil" Hell, Louie Farrakhan calls them "white devils" and I have never owned any other human being. Neither did my parents, grandparents or any other Juvinall in the long history of the family. So, hopefully I am not the only "white skinned" person who is fed up with all this hysteria and paranoia. I am a true believer that anyone who wants to become an American, legally, should be able to apply. I am personally not prejudice against any group, except maybe felons, and want all Americans to succeed. So, you race baiters and haters, just SHUT UP!
If you want to be successful here in America, just work hard, play by the rules and stop blaming others for whatever ails you. Take responsibility for yourself and lastly, produce a damn photo ID so we know you are OK to cast a vote. Sheesh!

Romney gets the votes needed for nomination, press investigates his and his father's birth certificates, is the press a bunch of "birthers"?
Mitt Romney is now the official nominee for the Republican Party and we can thank the Texas primary for that. It now appears the other candidates from the primary will get behind Mitt and show support for him in the upcoming general election. Along with the nomination, since Mitt is a Republican, the press will now give him a constsnt anal exam and explore evry little wart and blemish while leaving President Obama alone.
The latest press effort on Mitt is to investigate his birth certificate (HERE is the BC) and with that comes their research into his father's and mother's births as well. In George Romney's brief run for President in 1968, Democrat "birthers", mostly Congressmen, attempted to throw a shadow on George's right to run. HERE is a little bit of what happened.
The democrats were relentless yet their suspicions were not taken to task and they were not called derisive names and belittled as anyone questioning Obama's status is today. But double standards are at home in the leftwing lamestream media. HERE is the full article on Romney's status by Reuters.
My guess is now that Mitt is the official nominee he will be asked all the questions the media should have asked Obama and once again the media will lose what little credibility it has. But that is their problem. Hell, Donald Trump is having a field day asking about Obama's status and the media is doing their best to wrap Trumps questions around Mitt's neck. I bet Bill Ayers must be laughing his ass off .
On to the conventions then on to the general election in November.

Election Day One Week from Today
"As long as I count the votes, what are you going to do about
it?" - William Marcy Tweed, Tammany Hall boss
From my prejudiced point of view I hope the Republicans show up in droves and the democrats stay home. But I digress. Next week California and some other states will have their primary elections. We in California get to vote all the way from Presidential aspirants down to mosquito district officials. I am voting for Mitt Romney as I did in 2008 (Texas will put him over the top today) and Doug LaMalfa for Congress. I want to see Brian Dahle win and Dan Logue win. I like Tom McClintock and Ted Gaines. I don't endorse at Supervisor level since I was one once and I know how tough it is for them at the local level.
The country has spawned a great set of groups, who though having the same goals do not band together as one. The Tea Party here and elsewhere is on the lookout for voter fraud and even in our little county they will be watching the polls to check that the vote is not tainted. I hope we see a smooth day of voting and then the counting. Having been in a few elections myself and we candidates are probably the most critical of the Elections Department and their processes in vote counting. I was never satisfied the process was efficient, especially in the release of the counts. Hell, over the years they had a real hard time getting the absentee vote out before and hour or so. They had those votes first of course and that count should be released by 8:05 PM. We will see if Mr. Diaz can do better than past officials and let us see those vote totals.
When I ran the first time in 1984 I had a great committee and I was blessed with people who believed in me and my message. On election day in the June primary I had committee people at the polls with handouts o give the last moment deciders something to think about. Of course we followed the law and were no closer than 100 feet from the polling place. We had people checking the voter lists posted outside the polling places and we checked who had voted on a constant basis throughout the day. Well, we stirred up the hornets nest since no one else knew the law I guess. We were called names and the other candidates claimed we were doing something illegal. Of course we weren't and we were very careful to follow the law. But, since no one had apparently done what we were doing, the Elections Official went ballistic. He actually handed the poll workers a 100 foot long string during the general election (we didn't repeat)!
Of course since we followed the law, the tactics we used were legal and eventually I won the election. It took a lot of people helping me and I was so proud of my volunteers. I think the primary and general cost 15 thousand bucks or so. But now we see a lot more money expended to buy mailers and TV/radio ads.
The Tea Party has every right under the laws of California to observe and watch for abnormalities in the process. Of course they will undoubtedly have people at the Elections Office to observe the count. We did, and that is where I and most others were on election night. I never had a party with a cake to celebrate. I did mine at home with my volunteers and friends. I would check in with the "watchers" (if I wasn't there) at the elections office and did not sleep until we knew the end results. In 1988 I finally went to bed at five AM and I was only ahead by 49 votes over Paul Matson, Mayor of Nevada City. He did a recount but thank goodness the count held up and I won re-election. But it was another excruciating count and was not very efficient.
Let us cheer on the Tea Party and their observation of the election. There are some who are afraid of this and try and put evil reasons on them. Those naysaying people are unaware of election law and unaware of true representative democracy I guess. To complain about people wanting to ensure the veracity of the most important aspect of our system is amazing to me. So, go getum Tea Party, make sure the process is transparent and honest and I know you will vigorously follow the law an we can be proud there are people willing to do what you have in mind doing. Don't listen to the nattering nabobs of negativity from the left. Make those naysayers dip their finger in purple.

Heroes All, Memorial Day at Memorial Park in Grass Valley, California May 28, 2012
Americans showed up in big numbers all around the country to thank those service men and women who gave their all for us. Today's ceremony at Memorial Park was well attended and my guess is five hundred people or more. I saw many people I know and since I never served in the armed forces I felt it my duty to show those that have and do I appreciate them very much.
The ceremony had a presentation by the Blue Star Moms and each mom told us the name of their child serving in the military. Then we were honored to have three men from WW2 tell us a few stories about their deeds in the war zones. The last man was a Pearl Harbor/Arizona Navy survivor. He was pretty sharp for 91 and what a man. He simply epitomizes to me why America is so great and why our freedoms were gained and protected and died for by men like him.
Supervisor Nate Beason gave the main speech and I was very impressed. He gave a very wonderful tribute to our heroes. I was unaware he served on board a ship in the Gulf War. Thanks Nate! After the choir led us in short snippets of the military branches songs, a woman sang "Proud to be an American" and did an excellent job. That song always brings tears to my eyes.
After all was said and done, my brother showed up and we went and paid tribute to our dad, his dad and our uncle. Grandpa was in the army in WW1 and served in France. Dad and Unc were in the navy in the South Pacific and saw many major battles. I try and pay my respects to Pop and I miss him a lot. Here are some pictures I took with my phone so I hope they show OK.

Global Warming, err, climate change, err, disruption skeptics more knowledgeable in science than AGW true believers!
"As respondents’ science literacy scores increased, their concern with
climate change decreased," the paper, which was funded by the National
Science Foundation, notes."
Now this is something we already knew but it is helpful to the numskulls who believe in AGW to see they have been wrong about us. My guess is the AGW folks "feel" they are right while we "skeptics" know we are right through science.

SBC (eco non-profit) already making money on CARB "carbon credit" studies? Say it ain't so!
I received an announcement the Nevada County Board of Supervisors would hear a agenda item #25 regarding a joint report on "climate change" this week. I thought it might be a weather report since it has been relatively cool and wet in the Sierra this season, but lo and behold it was not. The email I received contained a link to the Sierra Business Council's (SBC's) webpage describing this CARB "carbon sink method" and I must say, the taxpayers will be getting hosed again.
The page contained references to how terrible and how much (30%) of the Sierra's forests were being converted from forests to residential. It also said this;
It appears they want to assist those that already have conservation easements or land trusts (HERE) , maybe TPZ and/or Williamson Act too, in a additional level of avoidance of paying taxes (or competing for scarce dollars in the private sector). But I could be wrong too, it may be simply another way to make money by a "non-profit. I must say the CARB has opened a door to every conceivable scam a person or organization can think up. The timber industry has been devastated by SBC type organizations over the years and now we are too believe the Sierra's are under attack to convert those forests that can't be cut into residential? We are to believe the forests (owned by the Feds and State to the tune of millions of acres, 1/3 on Nevada County alone) are being converted? Anyone tell SPI about this? (They will possible make a gazillion bucks in the CARB rules?)
We now get to see the biggest hoax perpetrated on mankind (man-made global warming) turned into a money making item for non-profits and crony capitalists. If ever there was a more creative way to scam (CARB) on the taxpayers I am unaware of one. Well, maybe Obama and Solyndra etal, but I digress.
HERE is the full link to the newest SBC endeavor. Read it and you decided if these people should get non-profit status. Read it and you decide if they are pro private enterprise or simply a way to jip the taxpayers. In my view the CARB will be the final stab in the heart of free enterprise and the void of hope will be filled with scheming eco organizations who will now become consultants drowning in dollars from the hard work of the few private businesses left in our state. HERE is the services SBC offers if you have any doubt about the motivations, read the whole thing.
When Prop 23 was going Steve Frisch, the opposition leader and Executive Director of SBC,worked against its passage. He was traveling all over the state telling anyone who would listen to him the importance of AB32 was paramount. Well his position won and many of us thought the opponents of the Prop 23 initiative were simply padding their future coffers as we felt they were going to benefit. That was steadfastly denied all over the State by non-profits and I guess we were right. Seems the SBC's are looking for consulting jobs in the scam of AB32, and CARB will soon be dishing the money out. What is it they say in politics when you want to get to the real reason people or organizations support things? "Follow the money". It seems no one or no "so-called" public interest entity is immune either. Oh, and inquiring minds want to know who paid for the 48 page report SBC put together on the year 2005 document? Maybe I'll show up today.
The page contained references to how terrible and how much (30%) of the Sierra's forests were being converted from forests to residential. It also said this;
"How you can participate? The Sierra Nevada Carbon Cooperative
is designed to help landowners and land managers measure, certify,
market, and sell Sierra Nevada carbon offsets from forestland
conservation and management in the Northern Sierra. Sierra Business
Council will do this by playing the role of project consultant, manager,
and/or developer, according to CCAR’s “Gold Standard” protocols. SBC is
currently seeking qualified projects on forested lands of the Sierra
Nevada, which have been managed for conservation, avoided conversion to
development or agriculture, or need to be afforested after deforestation."
