[There was a graveside service for Brother ToddJ this afternoon at Greenwook Memorial Gardens in Grass Valley.  About 50 of us attended the 2pm gathering conducted under a light rainfall.  A pastor officiated and several of Todd's relatives and friends gave their remembrances.  A couple of current public personages were also in attendance.  It was a warm and homey gathering, and a very befitting recognition for one of our formerly prominent local citizens. RIP.  gjr]

Todd is missed. Thank you for the update.

“It was a warm and homey gathering, and a very befitting recognition for one of our formerly prominent local citizens. RIP.”

When Todd drove off to help or comfort an old friend in Arkansas or somewhere in those parts, I immediately thought of the old passage that there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Todd was one of those rare breeds that he would drop everything and drive a thousand miles if a brother was in distress. “A warm and homey gathering “ is a very befitting tribute indeed.

I am resigned to the fact my overpass puppy toss partner is no more.

Happy trails, Todd.

Someone's prayers were answered...

Trump was right, and gives McConnell a well deserved swift kick to the nuts.
https://www.bostonherald.com/2021/02/16/trump-attacks-mcconnell-in-new-statement/
"Trump attacked McConnell as a "dour, sullen, unsmiling political hack," saying that "if Republican Senators stay with him, they will not win again."

He added: "The Democrats and Chuck Schumer play McConnell like a fiddle — they never had it so good — and they want to keep it that way! We know our America First agenda is a winner, not McConnell's Beltway First agenda or Biden's America Last.""

Daily Quotes

Insight: “Goodness without wisdom always accomplished evil.” —Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988)

Upright: “[The] selective disregard for rules and norms is a civic disease that is spreading through the political left. … The nation needs real constitutional champions, not fair-weather institutionalists.” —Mitch McConnell

For the record: “I said if Joe Biden became president, we would lose the border and it’s happening. The surge is already there. … This isn’t by accident. This is by design. This is an open-border strategy. He has bowed to the Left.” —former acting ICE Director Tom Homan

A blind squirrel finds a nut: “When you have unions that have other aspirations beyond being a union, and maybe being something akin to a political party, then there’s always going to be conflict. I think, ultimately, they’d like to take over not only Chicago Public Schools, but take over running the city government. That’ll play itself out over time. … But politics intrudes, always.” —Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on the Chicago Teachers Union’s refusal to return to work

The BIG Lie: “There was no stockpile … of vaccines. There was no national strategy or plan for vaccinations. We were leaving it to the states and local leaders to try and figure it out. And so in many ways, we’re starting from scratch on something that’s been raging for almost an entire year!” —VP Kamala Harris (“We certainly are not starting from scratch because there is activity going on in the distribution.” —Dr. Anthony Fauci in January)

Nothing to see here… “I want to clarify facts on the nursing homes. This past year, there is a toxic political environment, and everything gets politicized. And there is political spin, and there are facts — two different things.” —Andrew Cuomo trying to explain away revelations regarding his deadly policy on nursing homes and COVID

Race bait: “All I can say is, 75 million people voted for Trump. That’s all I can say. You ain’t fooling me. I know what it’s about. A lot of you hate everything we did when we came here about the staff, the diversity of the staff, it was this or that. And I like to think I know a little something about building teams and what organizations should look like.” —Vanderbilt men’s basketball coach Jerry Stackhouse, whose team is having yet another embarrassing season

And last… “It’s truly appalling that anybody even on the left is willing to defend Andrew Cuomo or teachers unions.” —Liz

Mr Cole is back at it, per usual. I like to read essays that run this sort of stuff near the front:
"I’m not saying that all scientists are bought and paid for; I’m just saying that they’re more likely to be tempted into corruption than a roofer or bricklayer or whore, all of whom have a relationship with customers where poor results are immediate and obvious and unlikely to be explained away by fancy verbiage."

Come on out Emery!! You have excuses to make.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/18/biden-plans-second-coronavirus-package-3-trillion-more-build-back-better-spending/
"President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda is morphing into an even bigger spending plan of action, as his administration seeks to spend $3 trillion more on Green New Deal-like policies after Congress finalizes his $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief legislation."

Chancellor Biden will never be able to do what Trump did to build our economy.. He's been real good at butchering it.

How do you make Proggys go blind with rage?
Have a couple of those EVIL back guns behind you.
HOW SWEET IT IS!!!!

"Republican Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert came under fire Thursday over firearms displayed in the background of her online call.
Photographs of the new congresswoman from a Committee on Natural Resources live stream show her sitting in front of what appears to be several unsecured weapons stored on a shelf."

A locked up gun is no good when you need it at a moments notice.

A real nice matched set she has there.

Shit... Nevada County is about to get Frisco'ed again.
https://www.theunion.com/news/new-darkhorse-construction-to-start-soon-9m-south-county-development-deal-banks-on-bay-area-influx/
"Data from the National Association of Realtors showed most San Franciscans who moved between March and October last year relocated less than 60 miles away. The same data claimed that of the 37 new residents Nevada County netted between March and October, all were from San Francisco County."

Well,, I did my part to build the first phase, and I can use the work.

Here is one for the pony tail of ignorance and the local leftie luminaries, get some perspective you only have a year or so and then you are on the road to lose both chambers -

Democrats Beat Trump in 2020. Now They're Asking: What Went Wrong?

Democrats had anticipated they would be able to expand their majority in the House, pushing into historically red areas of the Sun Belt where Trump’s unpopularity had destabilized the GOP coalition. Instead, Republicans took 14 Democratic-held House seats, including a dozen that Democrats had captured in an anti-Trump wave election just two years earlier.

The results stunned strategists in both parties, raising questions about the reliability of campaign polling and seemingly underscoring Democratic vulnerabilities in rural areas and right-of-center suburbs. Democrats also lost several contested Senate races by unexpectedly wide margins, even as they narrowly took control of the chamber.

Yup,, most people believe he has a hand up his ass.
Enjoy THIS poll Emery,,,,,
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/20/most-voters-consider-joe-biden-puppet-radical-left/

The majority of U.S. voters consider President Biden a “puppet” of the radical left, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Friday revealed.

The survey, taken February 16-17, 2021, among 1,000 likely U.S. voters, asked respondents if they agreed or disagreed with the following statement: “Joe Biden’s not the moderate nice guy that they made him out to be. He’s a puppet of the radical left.”
