Revealing comments
If you thought President Obama’s comments regarding Christianity were revealing I invite you to read District Attorney Anderson’s comments (quoted by the Record-Bee, 2-13-15) regarding the hung jury in the Hell’s Angels trial. He is quoted as saying, “My guess is it was 11 for guilt.” “It is hard to imagine someone going into a trial thinking the Hells Angels aren’t a street gang. It is pretty obvious.” What is pretty obvious is that D.A. Anderson believes jurors should disregard jury instructions and reach a verdict that confirms their pre-trial beliefs rather than the evidence presented, or the lack thereof.

Who to trust
I agree with Guff about being a gentleman and following proper procedures. The only problem is President Obama has thrown the bath water out the window with the baby. He has continuously lied to the American public and Speaker Boehner. Hardly anyone in Washington D.C trusts him. He despises Netanyahu and Speaker Boehner mainly because both men have dressed him down. President Obama is thinned skinned. He can dish it out but can’t take it, as witnessed by at least three reporters who says he goes into a profanity laced tirade when things don’t go his way and is totally narcissistic!
Unfortunately statesmanship, honesty, and protocol does not fit this administration and the hell with the rule of law, the Constitution, and the American voter. So when Speaker Boehner invites Netanyahu to speak, it amounts to a political match which is purely juvenile and not worth the time of day, on both sides, really, really, petty, to say the least, and now it has escalated to where the Dems are saying they will not attend the speech.
I want to remind you Dems that you represent the people of the USA, not party politics or a battle the President has started. So stand up and be a man or woman and hear what this administration doesn’t want you to hear, then make your decision! After all, the American People will decide at the ballot box whether you made the right decision.
And oh, the pained look on John Earlhist’s face trying to defend this administration is priceless and Mark Hanna’s (Dem spokesperson) trying to defend this administration is like looking at the back end of a cow! Or listening to Anthony Weiner trying to defend himself. Pure bovine excrement.
Twenty-two retired Generals have sent a letter to MSNBC about a statement that Kris Kyle (American Sniper) was a racist, of which they vehemently disagree with. More lies again and how long are you going to put up with this? Sheer left-wing spin and misrepresentation. Which is shown in a recent poll that shows only 40 percent of the people believe what is on the news today.
Over the weekend, my wife and her sister drove to Oregon to visit relatives. They filled up in Coos Bay, Oregon, at $2.13/gal. Here yesterday Chevron was $2.71/gal. Guess who’s getting ripped off? Thank you California liberals! And now we learn illegal aliens (who never paid taxes) will get tax refunds, thanks to you taxpayers. Oh that’s right, rob the rich and give it to the poor.

Clearlake’s debate
In regards to the City of Clearlake’s Council meeting, on medical marijuana, it is the job of the city council to enact an ordinance to satisfy the needs of its citizens. They are choosing to approve a no-grow ordinance. Not only are they not doing their job, they are asking for trouble. They want to completely deny the medical needs of one group just too completely accommodate another group and wash their hands of it all.
The bottom line is they aren’t doing their job. Prop 215 was voted in 19 years ago. It doesn’t matter whether you’re for or against marijuana, it’s not going away. You don’t get to sweep it under the rug with a no-grow ordinance.
Please can you just do your job and come to a compromise. Thank You.
