Trump wouldn’t know a deal if he hit one in the road. Right now he has ” No deal on immigration. No deal on health care. No deal on gun control. No deal on spending cuts. No deal on Nafta. No deal on China trade. No deal on steel and aluminum imports. No deal on Middle East peace. No deal on the Qatar blockade. No deal on Syria. No deal on Russia. No deal on Iran. No deal on climate change. No deal on Pacific trade.”

Our incompetent President is doing his best to destroy ventures like this. South Carolina, like Humboldt, is an impoverished area needing investments, but unlike Humboldt they have attracted good employers- BMW in Spartanburg, employing 10,000 workers, Mercedes Benz near Charleston and now Volvo making hybrids, also near Charleston. Business cannot thrive when our leaders are making decisions based on pique, rather than on solid economics.

–TRUMP THE TERRORIST Submitted by me to the Times-Standard June 19 2018
“Donald Trump, a lifelong white racist, has joined with racists Jeff Sessions and Stephen Miller in inflicting terror on young children by using them as pawns to get his despicable WALL built. As a white racist, he is threatened by Latino culture, especially the strong family ties. His attack on Latino families is consistent with his unconscionable neglect of Puerto Rico during the recent hurricane. We have experienced 500+ days of Trump’s racism. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had enough.”
-WHAT DOES EUREKA NEED? We need a good Korean restaurant. That one in Arcata a while ago was not good. We need good Greek/Mediterranean food. The quality at the Kebab Cafe has fallen off lately. Too much gristle in the Gyros meat. We need a REAL deli, not the HEALTHY stuff ENF pushes. An honest-to God JEWISH deli with grease and garlic. And I don’t think I am alone in missing KFC. Am I? What else do we need? Other than a railroad.
BIZ TV- “THE DEED” is a better -than average business show on CNBC, featuring an investor in New Orleans who finances house flips. Good show, and who doesn’t love NOLA?
TRUMP LYING EVEN MORE- what a record this guy is piling up. Read the WAPO account HERE.
RICHARD PAINTER FOR SENATE!!!!!! I am one degree separated from Richard Painter who has been a frequent guest on MSNBC and CNN, railing against Trump’s violations of the Emoluments Clause. He’s a law professor at Minnesota, and a friend of my cousin’s, and he’s running for Al Franken’s old seat. Support him! Or at least watch THIS.
From the hardworking crew at HSU, the May stats are in. Lowest unemployment in YEARS!

The most profligate criminal in the Trump administration is NOT being drained with the swamp. No draining is happening. Read about it HERE
for what it considers overly inflammatory reporting on the jail-children-at-the-borders policy. The WH will have few allies as the horror of what we are doing sinks in.

Happy Fathers’ Day, everyone. Hope your kids aren’t being put into tents in 100-degree heat.
-“Pruitt! Pruitt!” I was working at the computer and kept hearing “Pruitt! Pruitt!” from the TV in the next room. My God, what has he done now, I wondered as I finally got up to check. Turned out I had left the TV on AMC and that gravelly voice yelling at “Pruitt” was Burt Lancaster as Sgt Warden yelling at the hapless, headstrong private Pruitt played by Montgomery Clift in that great movie From Here To Eternity. I hope you’re all seen it at least once. One of the great ones.
The garbage has moved! Did you realize the office of Humboldt Recology has moved from 14th Street, right next to the recycling center, all the way to SAMOA?? Who the hell wants to go all the way to SAMOA to discuss a garbage bill? Did we get to vote on this?? Isn’t there something in their contract about providing convenient access to customers? There ought to be. Do they even have bus service to SAMOA????? Geez.
Tea Party- Have you heard of Lapsang Soochong? It’s smoked tea, and once you drink it you cannot be content with Lipton’s. Since I quit coffee ten years ago I have been content with a half hearted cup of Lipton’s in the morning but since our friend in Berkeley turned us on to Lapsang Soochong, nothing else will do and the closest place I can find it for sale is the Berkeley Bowl , which isn’t exactly convenient. I’ve looked at Co-Op , Wildberries, the coffee places– no one carries it. So in desperation I joined Amazon Prime and order six boxes, which should have shown up by now but haven’t. As soon as they have I intend to cancel my membership ($12.99 /month) . Any help welcome!!!
He even had a government employee try to find a job for his wife as a Chic-Fil-A franchisee, then she never completed the application. Maybe it was too hard. Don’t get me wrong- I LOVE Chic-Fil-A and I would love them even if Pruitt OWNED the place but he doesn’t. The closest store to here is the one on Cleveland In Santa Rosa.

Like a kid with a new toy, our Fake President gleefully pushes pardons for his friends. Wasn’t he supposed to be the “law-and-order President”?
