U-T Wouldn't Print Issa Piece, Draws Criticism
I had to deal with Senator Dianne Feinstein’s office once, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life dealing with the government or anything else. The office personnel were morons, they did not respond to ANY of the issues I had, they refused to set up any kind of face to face with Feinstein and they were one of the worst examples of public employees I have ever dealt with. Much worse than DMV. I would honestly say it would be more fun to ram your head into a brick wall than try to deal with Feinstein's office.— August 25, 2011 9:26 p.m.
U-T Wouldn't Print Issa Piece, Draws Criticism
The FBI-the United States Attorney, the Federal Courts-all political, all cover for other gov actors and all are turning the USA into a giant toilet. I once had a federal judge committ perjury-in writing. I reported the judge-in writing- to the US Attorney, the FBI and the Chief Judge of the 9th Circuit (Alex Kozinki) which over sees all federal judges in the 9th Circuit whihc covers 30% of the nation. The response I received???? Nothing. Nada. Zero. No reply from the Chief Judge fo the 9th Circuit. No repsonse from the FBI. No response from the US Attorney. That experience made it 100% clear that we have two sets of laws in America, one for the gov, it's employees and the connected few-and another set of laws, much harsher, for the rest of us. That also pretty much cemeted the fact IMO that we have indeed turned into a banana republic- becuase that is the hallmark of a banana republic- one set of rules for the connected few, another set for the masses.— August 25, 2011 9:19 p.m.
Bonnie Dumanis Subpoenaed in Michael Pines Case
Yep, the federal authorities will prosecute, but that is a POLICY decision from DC. The feds could ignore the drugs laws all day long (and they do ignore many "laws"), it is all political. Changes by who is in the WH and their ideology. It is also very common to be selectively prosecuted based on ideology or association.— August 25, 2011 9:08 p.m.
Bonnie Dumanis Subpoenaed in Michael Pines Case
. http://members.calbar.ca.gov/courtDocs/10-O-10600… . ================= I cannot figure out why Pines would allow the State Bar Court to enter a default against him. Losing on the merits is one thing, losing due to not contesting the charges is ridiculous. Alwasy contest the charges.— August 25, 2011 1 p.m.
Bonnie Dumanis Subpoenaed in Michael Pines Case
Under federal law, that makes it illegal and federal law overides state law. So, strictly from a "legal" standpoint, they weren't " simply (legally) medicating with dispensary pot". They were actually breaking the law which which would be Dumasses logic. ========= But as a state prosecuting attorney Dumbass has no legal jurisdiction over a federal law or misdemenaor laws within the SD city limits, she is only allowed to file felony charges under state law in state courts.— August 25, 2011 12:57 p.m.

New Calif. redevelopment law could stop Chargers stadium
Building condos anywhere in SD County in this market would be dumb ==================== Building ANY residential housing in San Diego, the county or the state would be dumb. We are going to have upside down residential real estate for at least 3-5 more years. Maybe even a decade.— August 24, 2011 5:08 p.m.
Adventures with the Compost Pile
I put ALL of my compost materials in a bowl, after I have cut them into smaller pieces so they decompose faster, and then at the end of every week I dig a 6-8 inch hole somewhere in the backyard and bury it. It usually decompses in a matter of weeks, and the hole is ready for another round a month or two later. The soil becomes SO RICH once you start composting.— August 24, 2011 5:03 p.m.
Coronado Police Have Your [License Plate] Number
Mansker has NO business having a badge and gun. If these cop and LE jobs were based on OBJECTIVE hiring standards Mansker would NEVR have made it-not in a million years- past the 1st hurdle. He is a moron who has a multi million dollar legal judgment against him.— August 24, 2011 4:59 p.m.
Nucor's Death by China, co-authored by Peter Navarro
There are only 2 news shows I would recommend on TV -Dylan ratigan and Judge Naplitano's Freedom Watch. Lou Dobbs is close too. Navaro is on the money. ANYONE with any business sense knows China is ripping us off, and has been for years with th ehelp of Bush type Presidents and a bought and paid for congress who allows it. This is ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW, this video was 100% on the money and true 20 years ago-and nothing has changed. Watch it, learn, help save America; . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkgx1C_S6ls .— August 24, 2011 4:57 p.m.
