All of these revelations coming out in recent days and weeks about the FBI, DOJ, Lynch, Comey, Clinton, on and on... I was writing about in my various blogs back in 2016, and everybody was calling me a conspiracy nut.

NORTH KOREA SUCKS HIND TIT... AGAIN
After several days of listening to Kim Jong Umph's threatening to pull out of the peace talks, berating Vice President Pence and vowing to nuke the United States into oblivion, President Trump decided to pull the plug and walk from the scheduled June 12th peace summit.
I think the Chinese have decided to use North Korea as a pawn in an ever-increasing and dangerous game to put the United States in it's place... even if war is inevitable. Observers note that Kim became noticeably more belligerent after a recent meeting in China. All of which really means that Kim the Umph is not to blame for his own actions.
In the meanwhile, the Pacific Fleet is back on high alert.

CALIFORNIA'S "BULLET" TRAIN
Latest cost estimates for the ongoing project are at $196 million... per mile. All of the sudden, Democrats who passed the legislation creating it and who are up for reelection in California are not talking about it.

IT'S ABOUT DAMNED TIME
President Trump is going to demand that the Department of Justice investigate whether or not federal agents infiltrated or surveilled his 2016 presidential campaign
for political purposes and whether the preceding Obama administration
was behind such action. This should have happened ago.
Whether or not the Justice Department will do anything about it is a horse of another color.

GUN FREE ZONE
As I suspected, the high school in Santa Fe, Texas was a gun free zone.
I'm a concealed carry permit holder, but I could not legally set foot on that campus with a loaded firearm. All I could legally do would be to stand on the street and watch the carnage unfold.
Had I been there, had I seen what was about to happen, had I exited my car and run onto the school grounds to intervene... I'd be the one in jail.
How does that sit with you?

GET OUT! SEATTLE TELLS AMAZON, STARBUCKS: GO AHEAD AND LEAVE
Although Amazon.com, Starbucks and other large businesses located in Seattle have voiced their firm opposition, the City Council went ahead and approved, 9-0, a massive new employment tax that will raise tens of millions of dollars at the expense of businesses of all sizes. Head taxes are extremely rare in the U.S. and the ones in place are a
fraction of Seattle’s proposal. In Denver, there is a $50-per-year tax
for a full-time employee, while Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel scrapped the
Windy City’s tax after calling it a job killer. Seattle's tax will impose a $275 head tax per employee per year.
Both Amazon and Starbucks lambasted the new law, which takes effect January 1, 2019. Their response is that Seattle doesn't have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem. City revenues are already increasing much faster than city population.
You have a company employing 50,000 well-paid workers who in turn contribute to the local economy; they own homes, and buy goods and services. Companies that provide raw materials to your company employ another 50,000 people. The city where you are located almost went bankrupt and out of business more than once due to a decline in sales and employment at Boeing and/or Lockheed. To show its gratitude, the city now is going to charge you $275 a head for each one of those jobs you brought to the table? I don't think so.....
The City Council has made it clear that they don't give a damn what Amazon or Starbucks think or want. Council member Lorena Gonzalez berated Amazon, saying: "their tone in this message that is clearly hostile toward the city council is not what I expect from a business who continues to tell us that they want to be a partner on these issues." Amazon is saying it will reexamine its plans for future growth in the city. It also says it will resume construction on one project, but is reviewing whether or not it will proceed to occupy a second skyscraper.
The Seattle City Council obviously doesn't care. They've made it abundantly clear that businesses must comply or move the hell out of town.
