   He reached out to me on Twitter and wanted to let you guys know you could converse with him there at @CezeroTheTroll He said, "Could you let some of my old friends on the board know about my twitter account? Some may still want to see my political snark." So ... there you have it!

   https://www.yahoo.com/news/report-fox-news-founding-ceo-roger-ailes-dead-125208490.html Hate him or not, he changed the media and especially journalism on its head. Can't think of too many folks who have had a bigger impact in that area.

   Real simple: Will he make it through his 4 year term? A "no" could be for any reason. He's removed from office. He quits. He ... umm ... passes away. Etc.

    Auditor Elaine Howle has asserted that the UC Office of the President interfered with her work by reviewing surveys sent independently to campus leaders and requesting changes that reflected more positively on its operations before they were submitted. “In my 17 years as state auditor, we have never had a situation like this,” she said Tuesday. http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article148194649.html

    are we talking el camino/glendale city college/pasadena city college? how much would tuition at these schools cost taxpayers? are we talking cal state LA/northridge/ucla? how much would tuition at these schools cost us? are we talking duke, usc, michigan? how much would tuition at these schools cost us? i'd be curious to see how much he thinks this would cost. if it's based on free college for anyone who wants it at any school they want to attend, this would cost so much the numbers would be insane.

    http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/25/politics/sanctuary-cities-injunction/ Maybe this was discussed in the Trumped thread or somewhere else but I was curious how this makes sense and was hoping one or two of the lawyers can chime in. My understanding as not a lawyer has always been that when the feds have a law in place the states have to abide by it and can't just make their own law to replace it. On the flip side if the feds don't have a law in place then it's a states right issue and they can handle it as they see fit. If that's true how is it the states or cities can tell the feds they won't enforce a federal law and get away with it? I don't know all the details of…

    California isn't waiting on Trump — Gov. Brown wants $5.2 billion a year in new taxes and fees to fix roads 1 2 3

    California isn't waiting on Trump — Gov. Brown wants $5.2 billion a year in new taxes and fees to fix roads Come on folks. Let's get behind this. It's only 12 cents a gallon to make California great again. Even though we already pay the second most in gasoline taxes in the country, 0.6 cents behind NY's 69.6 cents a gallon. Do you want to be a loser, or #1!!! And if you are going to be #1, be #1 in a dominating fashion. And don't worry about businesses. The Diesel tax will only go up from 5.75% to 9.75% with an additional excise tax going from 16 cents to 36 cents. Any good business can absorb those small increases. But don't worry folks. This won't …

    Been reading a bit about the supposed controversy caused by Trump's phone call with Taiwan. I just read an article on the "things China could do in response" to supposedly penalize the U.S. for relations with Taiwan. It got me thinking....other than cheap plastic products (which can probably be made almost as cheaply in Mexico), what do we really get out of our relationship with China? They don't do a God damned thing to help us out with North Korea, and we already have strong allies in the region in Japan and South Korea. So other than showing enough respect to China to avoid a war with them, why should we give two shits about a relationship with them?

    Former Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore is a candidate for City Council in Las Vegas Ward 6, where I reside. One of her campaign flyers invited people to her house for dinner next Wednesday (even gives the address). For those unfamiliar, Ms. Fiore is a hard-line Second Amendment rights advocate (no restraints on the type and number of firearms that you can own), and she makes a big point of reiterating this in her campaign literature. What this has to do with City Council is lost on me, since as far as I know there have been no moves on the Council to restrict firearms. She also pushed open carry laws on our college campuses. She stopped just short of saying that …
