There are 148 public campuses in the California Community Colleges, University of California, and California State University systems. Many, if not all of their police departments, have stockpiled AR-15 assault rifles, stun grenades designed to cause temporary blindness, sonic weapons that resonate so loudly they are known in the armed forces as the 'voice of God,' and submachine guns. read more
Victor Marx (R) who claims to do exorcisms by phone, says he killed a man at age seven, took credit for helping rescue 43 missing children in Florida, and that as a civilian he once called in a military airstrike that killed 70 fighters from the Islamic State (IS) group, is now the Republican gubernatorial candidate for Colorado.

Your entreaty to a Higher Power about Dummkopf Trumpf reminded me of this wonderful Broadway song from last century.
I used to play a piano arrangement of this decades ago.
Enjoy the harmony, counterpoints, goofy choerography, and synchopation.

Now two non-AIPAC candidates are running to be Colorado's governor.


Civil Complaint: The ACLU is legal counsel
The Maine District Court Clerk has not yet assigned the case to one of the three judges or the Senior Judge. Hopefully the clerk chooses the Honorable Stacey Diane Neumann, a former public defender and Joe Biden nomination.

"How dare the Apaches fight back!"
Whenever I'm on an indigenous peoples reservation, I ask if they have a word for "murder" or "homicide."
These are not PhDs I'm asking, but regular folks who speak the language.
I have heard the word for "kill," referring to an animal or fish, but not a specific word for "murder" or "homicide."
There are other words the Native Americans don't have, like "railroad," "rifle," or "cancer."
The indigenous folks created portmanteaus like "Iron Horse" or "Fire Stick" as work-arounds.
