Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Rant: Minimalist EditionHarris’s commanding lead in a hypothetical 2026 California gubernatorial race is likely partly due to her near-universal name recognition and elevated voter interest following the 2024 presidential race. “Nearly all voters in this state have an opinion of her, and that’s really the big advantage that she brings to an early poll,” said Mark DiCamillo, director of UC Berkeley’s IGS Poll. “None of the other candidates are as well known to the voting public.” Is it possible that the absolutely spectacular failure of a presidential campaign that was fabulously wealthy, supported by the entire media and most of corporate America went unnoticed by California's voters? Was the surf particularly good this summer and fall? Maybe the Humboldt Gold crop was just fantastic? Or...fuel and power is so expensive that the Golden State (hah!) saved money by not watching TV? It is difficult to understand that Chlamydia Harris is seen even by the amiable retards of California as a viable candidate for anything, much less governor. And of course the reality is that there are no other candidates because California's current idiot, Gavin Newsome, is term limited, and no lunatics have thrown their propeller beanies into the ring. So Harris is it...for now. Obviously it is early, and it would be truly shocking if her abject failure as a vice president and then presidential candidate went unnoticed, even by California's LIVs. But there is a sort of delicious symmetry if she went from one failure to another. I guess it is possible that she could attract enough money to conduct a viable campaign. After all, there are plenty of stupid billionaires. But who would work on that campaign? Supposedly she stiffed her presidential campaign workers of their last paychecks, and the rumor mill is filled with stories of exactly how poorly planned and out of touch she and her campaign were. My guess is that she will ride off into the sunset with some board memberships, maybe a no-show job at a major university, and after a cooling off period (it's called detox by most of us) onto the lecture circuit for some easy cash.

I think there's a very good shot that Kamala running for CA governor will end her entire political career.
She'll end up placing 4th in the jungle primary behind a Republican in third, or something. It'll be hilarious. But, she's hungry and got so close. She won't give up, but the Democrat electorate may be done with her. Let it be done. For the lulz.

Thing is, if you talk to people who live in CA, they don't know just how much government is screwing them.
For instance, Californians believe electrical prices are sky high due to evil corporations. They've no idea CA imports something like 20% of the power they use. CA voters also don't know Diablo Canyon was slated to be shut down, which would have removed something like 10% of CA's electricity. I believe the FedGov had to step in and tell Newsom "no." But, the brownouts and blackouts are due to corporate greed. Posted by: blake - semi lurker in marginal standing (tT6L1) at November 14, 2024 11:15 AM (tT6L1) 64

I once taught Russian in front of Pete Wilson at DLI.
It was during the BRAC years, and they were considering moving DLI to Utah. So the senior guys there were showing the Gov. and some BRAC members around and brought them to see my beginning Russian class. (I knew ahead of time that they were coming.) I like to think that I'm the one who convinced them to keep DLI in Monterey. Posted by: Bulg at November 14, 2024 11:21 AM (v6JzV) 91

That Cali poll is bullsh!t, the voting numbers are extra fake news, and Cali is nowhere as blue as is purported. It has blue long enough and key precincts have been under demofraud control so long that the steal machine is absolutely entrenched.
It will take national legislation to remedy the situation. There's probably only a handful of states that really are blue. Take away the fraud, we would have a nation that is center right, just like Rush always used to claim. Posted by: kallisto at November 14, 2024 11:22 AM (dCxaZ) 93

They moved from the bay area to a rural town and she's biding her time til her calpers pension vests. Last conversation was about rising prices on everything; especially gas, fire insurance and HOA fees. I sent her the article on gas prices going up after she asked if PDT was going to lower the price. She's been a liberal, mostly influenced by her now ex-husband. Husband two is not a die hard lib. Not sure how they voted for President and won't ask. All you can do is educate them.

Knowing my fellow Californians, it may be that they just think very highly of their own opinions. Kamala would have made an amazing president. That's why they voted for her. And she would make an amazing governor, because they voted for her.
The real problem with CA voting is that blacks and latinos always, always vote against self interest. Until someone can crack those blocs in LA the way Trump has cracked them nationally, they'll continue to follow the voting patterns of their leftist "betters".

Officers found an open bottle of wine in her car, and she refused a field sobriety check. ------- Police and political records show Steele lives in Evanston. She represents the Board of Review’s District 2, which includes much of the North Side of Chicago and the northern suburbs. Steele was first elected to the Board of Review — which has power to decide on property tax appeals — in 2022, defeating incumbent Michael Cabonargi in the Democratic primary after she had worked on Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi’s transition team.

California may have been dropped on its head but the biggest political deadweights I’ve seen are the
1) massive influx of legal and illegal immigrants that have been added to their voting pool and census counts . The pre-1990 citizenry are in a permanent minority. 2) the seizure of all statewide political offices by the Rats, most decisively the governor, attorney general and Secretary of State. This puts all vote counts in Rat hands. And they will guarantee Rat victories no matter what. California could have been electing Republicans the last 20 years for all I know.

11 Failing "up" to CA governor isn't really "failing up" is it?
Posted by: Martini Farmer In truth, "Governor of California" is a job that nobody actually wants. Every single governor we've ever had is immediately hated and rejected, even by the people who voted for him. The ONLY REASON anyone ever tries to become governor here is as a STEPPING STONE to the Presidency. The act of being governor is a boring distasteful waiting period before your presidential campaign is launched. The problemztic part is that while you're "waiting" (i.e. while you're governor) your popularity inevitably plummets, as everyone begins to realize what an asshole you are. If Kamala does indeed become CA governor, it's ony because she needs a chair to siit in while she strategizes comeback for the 2028 or 2032 presidential election.

ctHARRIS spent $200M on her campaign, while 3x that much $600M to the ctHARRIS-19 (look them up!). 19 LIB elite who will do as much with that moneys as did Uday&Qasam Hussein did in Gulf War I after robbing nearly as much from Bank of Iraq at the opening stages of Shock and Awe -- all thanks to George Tenet's reprise of Kelly's Heroes on Day 1. Count on the LIBs to use every penny of that $600M to donate to America's opponents, Adversaries, and outright ENEMIES who will gratefully accept the LIB's historic sponsorship and active defense -- because they have NO intention of paying tax on their booty and never have (look them, and this up!) Why shouldn't they decide who must be sacrificed so that they may live?

Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal 🇺🇸 CALIFORNIA TEACHER CALLS MAGA SHIRT A "HATE CRIME" A Cerritos High School teacher stormed out of class after seeing a student wear a MAGA shirt, later sending an email blasting the attire as "intimidating" and a symbol of "hate." In the message, she criticized the school's policy allowing political clothes for students but not teachers, calling Trump a "fascist." The teacher, identifying as a Latina mother of an LGBTQ+ child, said the shirt represents "deep hatred" toward minorities, women, and LGBTQ+ communities. The school district is investigating the incident, and the teacher is reportedly taking mental health leave. Source: Daily Mail Posted by: Mister Ghost at November 14, 2024 11:53 AM (TGPs7) 267

Anne Richard’s was the last hurrah of Texas Democrats, and while she was personally popular, GWBush was able to stop her reelection because her administration was shamefully corrupt,’with scandal after scandal breaking. Worst I remember was the Governor’s office selling full pardons to convicted murderers for about 300k to 400k each.
After Anne Richard’s lost, most of the party switched sides and there has never been a Democrat elected to statewide office since. (30 years now) Posted by: Tom Servo at November 14, 2024 12:00 PM (pnaBz) 317

Peter Schuck of Yale Law School has argued that the FCC is subject to capture by the media industries' leaders and therefore reinforce the operation of corporate cartels in a form of "corporate socialism" that serves to "regressively tax consumers, impoverish small firms, inhibit new entry, stifle innovation, and diminish consumer choice"."

Around the 90s or so, a lot of Dems here became Republicans as more centrist and conservative Dems were chased out of that party, which decided to become much more like Dems at the national level. Terms like yellow dog and blue dog, you don't hear them anymore; I doubt anyone younger than me would recognize them. The same kind of dynamic appears to be happening among Hispanics (for lack of a better term) now.

I would say that the famous "lead in chinese toys" would fit into this model.

They would have to hire someone to do the testing. Later, the govt exempted Mattel because they could do their own testing, thereby protecting their position in the market.

Arguing against Trump's Sec Def pick on the basis of his rank or work after service is a false platform to stand on, imo.
He served his country and has worked as in media since leaving the armed forces. That's not an uncommon career path at all. The fact that he was "only" a major is irrelevant. He is a civilian now. The military answers to the civilian government. So, spare me the "Generals won't like taking orders from a Major" nonsense. They won't be.

We had an electric kettle everywhere I lived, Italy, East Africa, South Africa, except USA. Apparently we are not savvy enough to make immersion heaters that can be in actual contact with the water that needs heating. Everyone else manages okay. Now I do mention one caveat: at least since the 1960s most countries dropped the old wire fuses and went with the circuit breakers plus added what there is called 'earth leakage' and superseded by GFCI. We need to make every socket protected by GFCI. Posted by: Ciampino - I'm a children at November 14, 2024 12:50 PM (i0xsb) 472
CARB pretty much just banned RVs.
Posted by: BignJames Yeah, you can't register existing RVs or sell new RVs in all 6 States that follow CA CARB rules. Should be some good fire sales of RVs soon! Posted by: AZ deplorable moron at November 14, 2024 12:53 PM (WJ5SF) 473
Since you both have direct experience there -- do you actually believe the voters are actually perpetuating this stupidity? Or is it the result of decades-long election fraud? I'm leaning toward the latter (as I fully believe is the case here in Maryland).
Posted by: Doof at November 14, 2024 11:08 AM (N0dT2) Yes there is a lot of election fraud here like any blue state, and there is a lack of any second party since the GOP allowed the jungle primary and castrated itself. The recall was launched by SoCal leftists and the NorCal leftists and fraud were able to beat it. Hollywood and normal leftist conformity pretty much tamp down any dissent. Not much a voter can do when Dem A vs Dem B is the choice you have. Posted by: Oldcat at November 14, 2024 01:43 PM (n7h9X) 474

Good afternoon, good people. I've had such a big old grin on my face recently people are calling me Smiley. No more subornation of my country until it's unrecognizable, let her full glory be seen. This is going to require a bunch of hard work to accomplish, I understand.
So what? We're Americans, and as such the option of failure is denied us. Posted by: IRONGRAMPA at November 14, 2024 03:37 PM (hKoQL) 477

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot
of exclusive content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd really appreciate it. Posted by: Leeds escorts at November 16, 2024 08:12 AM (N0UQO) 480
