I'm not a big meme fan, but, for a laugh, this one needs to be posted:

Wow. Clueless.

L.A. Times front page: :/

One of the headlines in the L.A. Times (delivered) newspaper surprised me.

The headline reads:
"New Threat to Trump's Momentum"

Doesn't that headline sound like Trump has been gaining momentum and there is now a new threat to that momentum?
I was baffled.

But then the article goes on to redefine the headline:

"The last weeks of a campaign are about building momentum and finishing strong. That is why the roughest week of Donald Trump's presidential run, one that worsened with a report that he may not have paid federal income taxes for 18 years because of a nearly billion-dollar business loss, poses a threat to his candidacy."

Is that messed up or what? Sometimes I wonder about the L.A. Times.

The size of this year's California voter information guide :O

It's nearly the size a phone book:

San Pedro, California early fall sunset

We've been having an early fall heat wave (day 5 or 6 today) in southern California. But it has been dry, which makes it more livable —for me anyway, because I hate the heat.
The weather has left us some beautiful sunsets, though.
This photo was taken on a hill just next to Point Fermin Lighthouse. Where the palm trees are is a great street for walking your dog or running; it runs along the cliffs of the ocean. In the distance, jetting out, is part of Palos Verdes. I don't want to ruin the picture, but that's around where Trump's golf course is. But the golf course allows you to walk through to the ocean, and walk on the cliffs that surround the course. I imagine Trump hated that he had to allow average citizens to walk through his golf course.

Donald Trump claims debate microphone was ‘defective’

Source: Boston Globe

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump said late Monday night that he believed he was given a defective microphone at the debate, asking at one point if, perhaps, it was on purpose.

‘‘They gave me a defective mic. Did you notice that? My mic was defective within the room,’’ Trump said after the debate while speaking with reporters. ‘‘I wonder, was that on purpose? Was that on purpose? But I had a mic that didn’t work properly.’’

There was no clear problem with his microphone during the debate.

There appear to be a lot of Trump supporters posting in the past few days.

I was just on a jury to get rid of an obvious one; but I've seen a lot of new DU members who are subtly posting negative things about Hillary and positive things about Trump—as a whole they begin filling the website.

Republican voter mail

I just got a piece of political mail yesterday. I usually don't look at them, but this time I was curious.

It's from a Republican candidate in Southern California.

The front of the card has a blue box with bold white letters that reads:

I'm proud Democrat
Jerry Brown voted for my bill...

It almost reads like "I'm a proud Democrat"...I think they did that on purpose.

Below that it states he is an "Independent Republican"
At the bottom is a picture of Trump crossed off in red, and saying he IS NOT voting for Trump.

On the back it says he's fighting for middle class jobs.
And then there are a slew of other left-leaning topics.

This just may be the new Republican party: but once they get in office, they'll change their tune.

Sun is setting on California's Daylight Saving's Time...

Bill to end daylight saving time passes California committee

With little debate, a bill to end California’s observance of daylight saving time cleared its first committee on Monday.

Assembly Bill 385 could make California the third state not to observe daylight saving time, in addition to Hawaii and Arizona. If approved by a two-thirds majority of both houses of the Legislature and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, it would put a measure on the ballot asking voters whether or not the state should eliminate the practice.

-----------------------

I applaud this (and actually wrote my senator and congressperson a couple years ago about stopping DST), but I hope they consider keeping the set time in the DST hours: I don't look forward to a 4:40am sunrise in June (DST makes it 5:40am).
