LET’S GIVE THANKS!
I liked the Thanksgiving piece and there was no mention of terrorism.
I think everyone has covered their ground here … on a story originally about Thanksgiving celebrations in the Eastern Sierra.
Comments have just become more name-calling. We’re done.
Thanks
Bob Todd
Most candidates are in Iowa or New Hampshire as their primaries are in a few weeks or, if they are elected officials, they are wrapping up in D.C. for their month long Holiday Break. Oh, I did see that Carly had a meet and greet last week where 4 people… Read more »
warpaint….Are you talking about my drunk uncle that likes to flap his jaws,”tell it like it is” (according to him ),likes to stir-up things that doesn’t really make sense,and loves the “drama” he produces,thinking he’s got the answer to everything…..or are you talking about Trump ?
I keep asking people: “Can somebody tell me about all the big Rallies for Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Carson, Kasich, Christie??? Are they too having several a week? Does anybody have the listings of previous rallies and upcoming rallies? The location, the venue, the attendances?” Crickets. Trump is the only one working.… Read more »
Trump is just a billionaire who is bored, knows how some Americans worship money and power, and doesn’t give a rat’s ass if he comes across as a Nazi. Hitler pulled off the same thing (stereotyped and scapegoated entire groups of people to blame for Germany’s problems in the 30s)… Read more »
I know a number of people that are smart, successful, disciplined, hard workers. That doesn’t mean they’d make a good President.
John….YOU are the type that sounds much more dangerous than the terrorists…I always say the ones that gripe and complain the most about President Obama trying to take “everyones” guns away are usually the ones that either don’t even own a gun….if they do, they don’t go out and use… Read more »
Low- your post to John was the most insulting ignorant embarrassing posts I have ever seen from you.
It’s better to keep your mouth shut
and be thought a fool
Than to open it
And remove all doubt.
And low you have definitely accomplished that!
8 USC §1182 states: Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry… Read more »
I wonder if there will ever come a day when a President deems as malalignment, a class of people called “liberals” (the neoconservative Limbaugh/Coulter definition – not the original one) as detrimental to the interests of the United States and by proclamation suspend their constitutional rights and/or arrest them?
LOL!
Presto…..You speak as if Donald Trump is President…..Donald Trump isn’t (and NEVER will be ) President of the United States.
Low inyo- how can you read a post that I copy & paste from law and it turn into that.
Well, I really shouldn’t be suprised. You are the one that screams racist every chance you get!
Presto…No one said anything about racism about your post there…what I found funny is it’s almost like you were saying what “President” Trump was saying and what he would do…and “plans” to do…is something that would be all legal and O.K…..Trump is the only one talking about keeping any religious… Read more »
I just keep buying another gun every 30 days
I can only hope when the terrorist hit it’s somewhere where liberals hang out
I’m glad to see you got your talking points memo from the conservative echo chamber. But hey, maybe your dream will come true and he will get elected. Then we will see just how far a demagogue like Trump can take the so inclined. Pass the popcorn please. BTW, Mussolini… Read more »
@charlie o’ I hope you remember that President Jimmy Carter Banned All Iranians into the U.S.A. during the hostage crisis.
The Carter administration attempted to mitigate anti-American feeling by promoting a new relationship with the de facto Iranian government and continuing military cooperation in hopes that the situation would stabilize. However, on October 22, 1979, the United States permitted the Shah—who was ill with lymphoma—to enter New York Hospital-Cornell Medical… Read more »
Mountain, people seem to agnor the fact that George Bush was over in Parris negotiating with Iran, without the permission of our elected officials at that time.
Actually, we need to track it back to 1985, Ronald Reagan, Donald Rumsfeld, Oliver North and the ” Iran Contragate” arms deal.
Did FDR ever use MODERATE Nazi, or Moderate Commie? Why don’t you ask Obama why his Dept. Of Justice won’t enforce all of our gun laws, and all of our immigration laws that are already in place? Plenty of laws for them to enforce but they choose to ignore them.… Read more »
And don’t forget to thank FDR for Manzanar. If Trump gets elected he may just put Manzanar back in operation.
Presto – FDR never used “Radicalized Nazi” or “Radicalized Commie” either. Are you suggesting we carpet bomb (per Senator Cruz’s suggestion) Islamic people without discrimination?
Seems to me, Hitler stereotyped entire groups and look what he accomplished.
He was also successful at getting previously good people to say and do horrible things to those they viewed as different or threatening.
•low inyo• I have a question. How does Trumps stance on Muslims make him a Racist?
Answer- it cant. Muslim is not a race. It is religion. Any Race can be Muslim if they choose to follow the Koran.
Oh Presto…you’re so clever. That’s great point, because, approximately 1.6 billion people in the world, or about 1 in every 4 people in the world practice Islam. So Trump’s stance can’t possibly be race based, he’s just categorizing 1/4 the population of the planet as terrorists. How is it possibly… Read more »
The word “liberal” (not-so-secretive-term-for-Democrat) has been demonized today to make $$$ for talk-radio shows and book writers (Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, et. al) are reminding us of what it was like during the Joe McCarthy witch-hunt era where the opposing party was likened to a communistic plot. Mainstream America is much… Read more »
Gary Trotman…Let’s not stop at your complaints about Liberalism,gay marriage,legal and illegal immigration,Global Warming,entitlements,the poor,and treason against President Obama….why not launch a tirade against the African Americans and South Americans too,like you’ve done on other posts and web-sites you visit before you go.
Not Going to waste my time on this useless back and forth any longer . Am going to enjoy this CHRISTMAS and attempt to shut out the reality of the Mess my country is in at least until after the new year . Liberalism has Failed Miserably and the destruction… Read more »
Hmmmm? I figured you as one of those guys who’d go on and on with your political and social views at holiday gatherings, even though nobody wanted to hear it. Glad to see I was wrong and you’re planning to shut all of that out for the time being. Merry… Read more »
Gary Trotman –
Define “liberalism.”
Liberalism is about human liberty and its gradual progress over the last 500 years. This is the proper identification of a magnificent intellectual tradition. There is simply no other term available to signify the great political and intellectual movement that substituted free enterprise and the market economy for the precapitalistic… Read more »
….and Trump’s poll numbers continue to rise.
Trump 2016
….”and Trump’s poll numbers continue to rise “…..35 % of the REPUBLICAN vote(mainly the racists) ..that means 65 % of the REPUBLICANS don’t want him in the picture….Hillary isn’t my first choice to become President,but if Trump runs against her,she’ll get my vote…problem with Trump is there isn’t too many… Read more »
The racist card. Isn’t that an original play.
Yawn.
Hillary, the woman who cares so much for woman’s rights. You know, the woman who supports and loves her husband who is also known as “the serial cheater.”
The Clinton Moral Compass! Women and fellow Americans should be so proud.
You are the ONLY person on this website who keeps screaming RACIST / RACIST / RACIST, Low-Inyo.
What Happened , A family member Broke U.S. law by sneaking across our border without Permission or Invitation, Got Caught. Whats your Problem.
I am really getting Sick of your Vile Accusations .
Gary Trotman……see my post below…..want me to get into that ?
It may or not be so that folks might have a weapon , maybe a gun , a knife or a club behind their back rather than a friendly hand to shake or lend when we encounter one another these days. All the bravado the empowerment of our accessories that… Read more »
Polling data indicates that Trump supporters are more likely to be male, white, older, with less education, and broken caps lock keys.
Awww , So you are Sensitive to CAPS. And you must be very well educated , What are your Degree’s . The Liberal Arts ? High School Graduates of my era were far more apt to become employed and stay employed until retirement age . There was a much higher… Read more »
Practical knowledge of what? Punctuation and grammar? Bring it.

Here you go Hotshot , How Long should it take you to excavate a 40 Ft x 12 x 15 Trench in loose sandy soil with a round nose?

A, 4 Hours.
B, 8 Hours.
C, 2 Days.
?
Sounds like you have a serious chip on your shoulder. Keep digging, maybe that will help relieve some of your tension.
Oh, boy howdy. I’ve been challenged to an intellectual duel by a ditch digger. Only in Inyo…. To answer your question (and assuming our trench is measured in inches deep), sounds like a morning’s worth of work. The question I have is, where are you finding loose, sandy soil in… Read more »
antoniolupi….THAT is a GREAT answer and post..love it….but I’m sure he’s going to think it’s all fine and dandy,but those things you listed,he’ll see most of them as not ways to be “making money”……therefore,as his hero Trump likes to state so often about others that don’t agree with him,it probably… Read more »
antoniolupi….and usually the CAPS start when it has something to do with President Obama….AND HOW HE’S TRYING TO TAKE MY GUNS AWAY…..OVER MY DEAD BODY !!!!
The Trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant!
It is just that they know so much that isn’t so.
Ronald Reagan .
He He Hee . lol
Trump is a man of action! He is the MAN for the job (Shillery is A JOKE!!!!), and won’t take criticism from anyone! He says the things about the people who are taking OVER our country that others won’t!!! Trump understands the struggle of the middle class in OUR Country!!!… Read more »
HaHaHaHaHa !!!!..Hey,antoniolupi….There are those angry CAPS again that you mentioned in your post below….coming from someone that knows Trump has no chance whatsoever of becoming President of the United States….heard yesterday on FOX NEWS…..their poll saying Trump would destroy Hillary if the election were held today…probably coming from the same… Read more »
Trump is a joke, an entertainer, not a leader. He is divisive. He is a rude clown not even suitable for a child’s birthday party.
and he is more successful than you will ever dream to be….PLUS he isnt one of ‘them’
tony…I think it depends on what you consider “successful “…a 70+ rude, old, angry man..a racist,a fascist,a liar,hated and/or laughed at by millions of people….looked at as a joke and an embarrassment to this Country by the rest of the world ..unable to do any of the things he claims… Read more »
How do define successful? Being rich? Being a jerk? If Trump defines success then you can have it. He’s not my idea of success.
I still believe Trump is a plant from the other side who is deliberately trying to make the party he claims to represent appear to be Neo-Nazis.
Mountain Watchdog- Trmp is a true representative of the current “so called”
republican party- ignorance is finally just more visible.
@lowinyo who’s drawing the crowds? Hillary? Rubio? Socialist Bernie? Negative. It’s Trump. Everytime the establishment squirms on the left and on the right, the more I like Trump. You mow lawns for a living, I believe I saw that in one of your MANY..posts. You and Trump are Entrepreneurs! Why… Read more »

Tony, unions were crushed by law makers that did not receive their support.
When I was young, all jobs came with medical, dental life insurance. Pension, vacation and profit sharing. Now the one 1% pocket every penny of that. It’s not right.
He is not one of ‘them’. That’s his appeal. The crony capitalism has brought this country to where it is…Hillary is owned by Wall street and Hollywood 1%ers and union thugs [like our current blamer in chief] must end..Donald is owned by…..Donald…not hard to figure out.
What you guys do not understand is the fact that Donald Trump needs no donations , He needs no Super Pac fund raisers . He is paying for all of this himself . therefore he will owe no favors. Has Made no Promises for Support . Donald trump cannot be… Read more »
What a lot of us don’t understand is why would anyone support a mega-wealthy showman who has no problem coming across as racist, sexist, total jerk as the most viable candidate for the most powerful position in the country … because he belongs to a certain political party.
Mountain Watchdog….It’s because of his angry-ness….angry at the World,like a LOT of older Republican men seem to be nowdays….even here in Inyo and Mono Counties…angry at immigration,whether it’s legal or illegal….angry that an African American was elected President,not once but twice…angry because it looks quite possible a woman might be… Read more »

Excellent explanation Low-Inyo. And these angry sorts play right into the polarizing ways of those who have everything to gain from it (radio shows, books, etc): Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity … and they are “de-friending” those who don’t agree with their anger, by the sackful. “I never consider a difference of… Read more »

“Thomas Jefferson would have never”…
And Ronald Reagan himself wouldn’t stand a chance of getting elected by todays right wing fanatics. Reagan was pragmatic. There seems to be very little room for pragmatism with the right today. Funny how things change.
@SLow-Inyo Your damn right people are angry, and 28 years of Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, is enough! The silent majority is waking up. It would be an absolute disgrace if Hillary is elected POTUS. Gee….let’s see… a billionaire businessman, who contributes to the economy, or career politician (s) who do… Read more »

show don’t tell…I hardly think 30 % (and dropping) of the Republican base is a “silent majority”….more like 30 % are liars,racists,fascists,and fools to think Trump has a snowballs chance of winning the upcoming election….you know it and I know it….watch and see.
Very pro-marriage. He’s had like three of them.
At least all of his Marriages were TRADITIONAL , lol
Get my Meaning .
Chew on that one for a While. Haaa Haaa Haaa .
Gary Trotman…..I think when the time comes when Trump is standing in the line at the pearly gates,even though he claims to be a “Christian”,he’s going to have a lot harder time getting past the gate-keeper than some that maybe didn’t have your “traditional ” marriage….chew on that for a… Read more »
Long Before Donald Trump is standing in line at the pearly gates he will be your PRESIDENT.
FOR 8 YEARS . lol
Yes…I will puzzle over that riddle for awhile. Particularly the part about how that makes him more qualified for president than anyone else on the planet.
@ Gary Trotman I would add – Marriage is an individual choice, and if you are going to judge someone’s competency to lead the world based on marriage ability, Donald solidly fails. I assume you mean hetero-sexual marriage, which again, isn’t really any of your business and is hardly a… Read more »
Nice thing about Trump is he’s already filthy rich. And the fact that he is #1 in the polls tells me he speaks for the silent majority who are afraid to express their beliefs out loud.
DESCO – Did you think there is any truth behind the assumption that a lot of today’s hardcore GOP supporters worship filthy rich people? As if the have all the answers for say the growing number of unemployed and homeless?
If you are Able Bodied and of Sound Mind there is no reason to be Unemployed and Homeless in the United States of America.
Especially if you are a Citizen with at least a High School Education.
Just Lazy and unwilling to try.
Gary Trotman…..With this one,I’ve got to agree with you…at least with the part about unemployed….but the homelessness,maybe not so much…there’s lots of low-paying jobs out there,if you want to work for less than $12.00 an hour…in some cases,a lot less than that…but if you do,in some areas,hard to get into… Read more »

America has been dark before. FDR indiscriminately rounded up Japanese-Americans and put some them in prison camps not far from where we live.

Mountain go easy on Donald Trump. He’s actually going to save the republican party from themselves.
The far-right GOP notion that the country should always be governed by “The Ruling Class”
is something serious potential GOP elected officials better try to distance itself from – if it ever wants to win another General Election. Far too many little guys than silver-spooners.
Mountain Watchdog…We all know what a fool and a liar Donald Trump is…single-handidly destroying the Republican party for years to come (as if they needed help from anyone else to do that),registering refugees is a stupid GOP idea,but do think they should be careful about who might have terrorist-ties…the CIA… Read more »
