There’s a deli owner in Clayton offering to treat folks who support “Send her back’. It’s a good thing the Chronicle included a map because otherwise I wouldn’t know where Clayton was. Read it HERE.

And since no one else is asking,  has anyone ever seen our rotund Attorney General, Bill Barr, in the same room at the same time as unfunny comic Rosanne Barr?  Just asking. They’re only a wig apart.   And if you’re wondering how he keeps his girlish figure,  he’s hanging out at a place that features Burgers, Beer and Bourbon.  The menu is HERE.

AND while I’m listening to the GOP hacks grill  Director Mueller , a WWII combat vet who is enduring insinuations and insults from twerps like Jim Jordan with aplomb, I find myself wondering, WHY would a young person ever go into government service when they could make ten times the money working for a private  law firm?  AND the other thing to worry about today is that Trump has become completely unhinged,  having developed a fantasy that the Second Amendment  conveys royal powers upon the President.  No one else since 1776 has discovered this.  Isn’t  he clever?  Read about it HERE.

Mitch McConnell is receiving 90% of his re-election donations from OUTSIDE Kentucky.  Hmmmmm…

I’ve started calling Our Fake President Despicable Don  in honor of his despicable  performance before a group of HIGH SCHOOLERS .  Anyone else would have treated them to a nice little patriotic speech, but Don only knows how to express his many grievances, including tearing into The Squad . AND Despicable Don hasn’t given up his lying ways, as witnessed HERE.

As gathered by POLITICO. Enjoy!

Our Fake President and Wilbur Ross have crippled the Department. Read about it HERE.

From the Humboldt Bay Harbor Working Group:

Aquafarming for Humboldt Bay?

Eureka, CA–“Aquafarming for Humboldt Bay” will be the topic at the Humboldt Bay Harbor Working Group monthly luncheon on Wednesday, July 31.
 
In February, Nordic Aquafarms Inc., through its subsidiary California Marine Investments, announced plans to build a land-based fish farm in Humboldt County to serve West Coast markets. Lynette Mullen, Nordic Aquafarm’s local Community Liaison, will be presenting an overview of the project planned for the Samoa Peninsula.
 
Nordic Aquafarms is one of the premier investors and developers in land-based aquaculture internationally, with production facilities in Norway and Denmark, and two projects under development in Maine and Humboldt County. The company is a trailblazer in the land-based fish farming industry and is supported by strong and well-established financial investors. Nordic is developing sustainable fish farming practices to deliver super fresh high-quality seafood to regional markets. The founders are committed to a low environmental impact and sustainability in every facet of the business, from setting new standards for discharge, to energy efficiency and solar power, to refusing to use GMO fish and feed.  More information about the proposed project can be found at www.nordichumboldt.com.
 
The Harbor Working Group’s luncheons are held on the last Wednesday of each month. Their programs focus on the development of the Port of Humboldt Bay as an international seaport. Last year, the presentations were directed to envisioning the Harbor as an international seaport. This year, the programs are dedicated to learning what can be done—and what is being done—to make it happen.
 
The luncheon is a “no host” event. Lunch starts being served at noon; and the presentation starts around 12:30.
 
Roast Beef will be served for lunch at $16 and soup and salad is available for $12.  Please RSVP at 707-441-1974 or charles.bean@yahoo.com.
 

Evidenced by this San Francisco tale of woe involving a Washington Street mansion. Years ago I had a friend who lived on Jackson, just around the corner from this. The rent was unbelievable even then. From the Chronicle, read about it HERE.

Print this and keep it in your car. You never know. See it HERE.

I don’t even know the proper plural for them . They’re like big rats! Anyone checked the sloughs lately? Read it HERE.

From the Washington Post: read it HERE.

Well, you KNEW he was a racist, didn’t you? The proof is HERE.

And he’s ‘s back ed up by the trusty Kelianne who’s demanding to know the ethnicity of a reporter. It’s spreading like a cancer. Read about it HERE.

How the other half lives Dept from POLITICO: “OVERHEARD — Stylists at Aveda 14 hair salon on 14th Street NW complaining Tuesday afternoon about having to shut down the salon Thursday morning for a couple of hours so that IVANKA TRUMP can come in to get her hair colored.”

FROM POLITICO- Monday’s tweet of the Day; TWEET OF THE DAY: Rep Ted Lieu, responding to @POTUS’ tweet telling Democratic Congresswomen to “go back” to where they came from: “Hey @realDonaldTrump: What makes America exceptional is we are a nation of immigrants. As an immigrant who served on active duty, I am appalled you are telling us to ‘go back.’ I’m not going back. America is our home. And I will still be in Congress after your racist ass leaves.” I knew I liked that Ted! AND if you thought POTUS might back down a bit, no, that’s not in his playbook. He steps in it further right HERE.

And if you’re among the many of us who have slave-owning ancestors, join the crowd. Beto O’Roarke is the latest to have his Ancestry account scrutinized. My great-great-great grandfathers’s family apparently owned two slaves in South Carolina in 1840. His family was large – ten kids. I’m sure they were all dirt-poor. His farm was where Manning High School is now and that is all I know or care to know.

So much to be disgusted by, so little time. Keep your powder dry for 2020.

But here’s some good news- Megan Rapinoe, the heroine of the Women’s World Cup and soccer in general, is from REDDING. That’s almost local! She graduated from Foothill High and studied at the Univ of Portland. ‘Way to go , Megan!

Happy Summer! What kind of student was Our Fake President at Wharton? Can he even SPELL Wharton? Take a look HERE.

And, did you hear about this? This could have been a major catastrophe. Read about it HERE.

And David Ignatius sounds a note of caution to those of us who find hope in Trump’s latest screwups. Read him HERE. Or read about Trump’s White House summit for trolls for a glimpse of what the 2020 campaign is going to involve. Read it HERE.

HERE THEY ARE: The week in cartoons, right HERE.

Miscellany: Saw an Andrew Yang bumper sticker at the Murphy’s in Cutten. Didn’t have time to wait and see who it belonged to. Did you see the press conference with Trump, Barr and the senile Wilbur Ross, of Carl’s Jr fame.? Yes, they did look exactly like the Three Stooges, but older. If you’re having lunch in SF, at John’s Grill, the seat to ask for is Booth #21.

WHY DOES TRUMP SCREAM SO MUCH??? Because he loves the sound of his own voice, obviously, and by having his press availabilities in front of a helicopter or other sound generator, he can cheery pick the questions, pretending not to hear anything he doesn’t want to answer. And he gets to screech at the top of this lungs.

While everyone in Eureka seems to be excited about the advent of In-n-Out burger, which is no reason for celebration as far as I’m concerned, I pray constantly for word of a Chic-Fil-A coming to town, but NO, no way. So I recruited a friend who was driving up from SF to stop off on Mendocino Ave in Santa Rosa and bring me a care package. He brought six sandwiches and I discovered they freeze really well!! Life-changing!! The only thing is, when reheating them in the microwave, beware of the pickle , which gets really HOT in the process. Next time I’ll have him bring me twenty.

Happy Bastille Day, everyone. Can we vote to change Presidents with the French? Just asking.
