While Safeguarding California identifies climate vulnerabilities and state government's ongoing actions and next steps to address them, there are many other initiatives that complement the planning and policy work in the state's climate adaptation strategies.
The Climate-Safe Infrastructure Working Group, convened by the Natural Resources Agency per AB 2800 (Quirk), unites experts from multiple scientific and state infrastructure disciplines to bolster the inclusion of climate impacts in state design processes.
Executive Order B-30-15 directed State agencies to integrate climate change into all planning and investment, including accounting for current and future climate conditions in infrastructure investment. The Governor's Office of Planning and Research was directed to convene a Technical Advisory Group to develop guidance to support implementation of the Executive Order. The Technical Advisory Group (TAG) included members from nearly every State agency, local and regional governments, non-governmental and community-based organizations, and the private sector. The TAG met from April 2016 through January 2017 and produced a guidance document called "Planning and Investing for a Resilient California: A Guidebook for State Agencies." This document provides high level guidance on what future conditions to plan for and how State agencies should approach planning differently in light of a changing climate.
The Climate Action Team convened by the California Environmental Protection Agency works to coordinate statewide climate policy. The Safeguarding California Climate Action Team, a working group of the Climate Action Team made up of representatives of state agencies that help coordinate adaptation policy, interfaces with other groups like the Governor's Office of Planning and Research's Technical Advisory Council.
ClimateChange.ca.gov is the landing page for the California's climate policy. Mitigation and adaptation are complementary and integrated pieces of California's approach to climate change.

Battle is given
Following on from my last post and thank you gentlemen for your comments a most excellent weekend was had by all.
As you're aware these actions usually find their way into one of Charles' publications so far be it for me to give a detailed account of the game.
However I will make some comments and observations - as you will know the battle started in the early hours of the morning in the dark with both armies reacting to what was around them as dawn broke.
Prior to the game Charles had sent us both briefing sheets and a very small map with a request that we wrote our orders and submitted them prior to the day.
Short of putting a curtain down the middle of the room then this process worked extremely well, we used reduced move and firing distances to reflect moving at night and were obliged to follow our orders until the enemy were spotted or troops arrived at their designated positions.
What quickly became apparent is that both John and I had completely misjudged the distances between key points on the board but had also completely got it wrong on our assumptions of where the enemy would be and what there plans were.
To add even more frustrations other than our CinC's we also only had one ADC with which to change orders, its fair to say that by the end of the day my General and his Aide had been run ragged.
Charles' amendments worked well to reflect the mayhem and chaos that often follows a night time engagement.
A close fought bloody battle.
Just a few pics of the game which I don't think give anything away.

The March to Kloster camp.
This weekend I shall be attending Charles Grant's wonderful home for a game against my erstwhile opponent John Dougan.
We shall be refighting Kloster Camp and hopefully it should provide enough entertainment and interest to be included in Charles' next book in the Refighting History series.
I'm taking a few of my pieces along but we found we were British Grenadiers short, as I base mine as part of the battalion then it was necessary to paint some more. Charles had 16, so I esent him a further 16 and set about painting my 16 plus a couple of officers.
British Grenadiers i think one of the hardest figures to paint for the period, anyway these are my attempts.
Hopefully will provide another update on the 1744 campaign before the weekend -
First apologies for the absence, the business has been taking up quite a lot of time, the new sculptor has been extremely productive as has my paint bench,
However in between all of that I have eventually started umpiring the 1744 campaign. You may recall this was based upon the proposed invasion of England by Marshall Saxe and around 12,000 men in an attempt to place the Young Pretender on the throne.
The reality was that storms damaged around 12 of the invasion fleet transports and the French lost heart ( if it was ever in it).
The detailed account (now going to be in two parts) will appear in the Wargames Annual.
However for those that would like a heads up and an insight - here we go
The British troops are under the command of Ligonier
deployed in London are 3 battalion of Guard infantry in and around the southern counties are a further 6 battalions of infantry, 2 regiments of dragoons and 3 regiments of horse. In Scotland is General Cope with 4 Battalions of foot and 2 regiments of dragoons.
The British have already sent for the support of 5000 Hessians who could take around 2 -3 weeks to arrive.
The British have effectively sent dragoons to the southern coast and South east with the foot moving to positions around London. In reality the French chose Maldon to land. In this campaign the French player has chosen Sittingbourne in Kent.
The early days saw the French player choose to send the young Prince with two battalions of Infantry and some cavalry to Scotland to raise the clans ( not a move I expected) the remainder of the army boarded ships - not before delays set in due to the failure to load the artillery ammunition and bad weather.
The French started landing at Sittingbourne on the evening of the 10th June the first to land were two squadrons of Dragoons and a German brigade.
On the morning of the 11th the two squadrons moved out one on the road to Maidstone and one towards Ashford it wasn't long before the squadron moving towards Ashford was met by their British opposite number and received a rough handling but not before they observed British infantry deployed on a low ridge.
Marshall Saxe knew the rest of the army wouldn't be unloaded until late on the 11th so he ordered the Gemans and the Fusiliers de Morliere to move out and probe the British lines.
The action that followed saw 3 Battalions of German infantry, 2 squadrons of cavalry and the Fusiliers de Morliere attack the British force of 2 battalion of infantry, 4 squadrons of cavalry and a 6 pounder.
Major Semillon launched an aggressive attack on the British line who's infantry under Major Dundee were reluctant to move off the ridge and who's musketry was decidedly mediocre.
The Fusiliers de Morliere supported the French horse on their right and on the left the Regiment Saxe was ordered to attack the farm whilst La Marck and Lowendhal attacked the British center
On the French right their horse engaged with the British but both sides fought themselves to a standstill, on the French left Saxe drove off a squadron of dragoons but were repulsed by the dismounted dragoons holding the farm,
the attack in the center closed rapidly with only light casualties due to ineffective British firing but just as the attack was about to go in the British found their form and decimated La Marck causing them to retreat.
The British infantry at last started to move but the Fusiliers de Morliere caused some galling fire on the British infantry making them reluctant to pursue as the French withdrew from the field.
La Marck took the heaviest casualties and not many men will return to the colours that night!

Exploring Star Wars: Jedi Academy
(Note: I took all these pictures myself, but the maps are obviously not mine. As the website I got them from is now defunct, I've only been able to find the author of a couple. If I find the others, I'll be sure to give proper credit. The image at the top is the "Lost Temple 2" map, author unknown)
I spent my teenage years with various video games, probably far too many to consider myself a writer. Games instead of stories, play mechanics instead of narratives. I learned how to fly a starfighter before I knew the proper use of dialogue tags.
But this kind of background has led to a strange sort of dimension in my writing, a weird fusion that I don't entirely understand. I don't really write stories based on the narratives of games, or base characters off of pixellated heroes. My concept of worlds and moving around them, though, that's all video gaming. And it's come from a lot of places, this is just one example I want to delve into.
I think it was 2004. I got a copy of the exhaustingly-named Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy for I believe Christmas. I'd played a lot of the much-better prequel, Jedi Outcast, and was pretty pumped for this one as well. I'm not going to talk about this game itself, its whole caveat was that you created your own Jedi and got to guide them through their education with the Force. You chose between the boring but just Light Side powers and the way more awesome but morally…flexible Dark Side ones, like Force Choking people and throwing them off cliffs. Which happened all the time in multiplayer. You 'built" a custom lightsaber, which amounted to choosing one of six hilts and one of six colors, though more if you got one of those weird expansion mods like JA+. The story was forgettable. The best character of the Jedi Knight games, Kyle Katarn, was shoved to the side in favor of your generic player avatar, a Jedi Padawan of the New Jedi Order. God, I missed Kyle.
By all accounts, it should have been a mediocre game, especially coming off of the fantastic Jedi Outcast. Where it excelled, though, was with the fans.
A map entitled "Desert Temple," small but pretty interestingly realized. Nice ambiance in the inner temple, lot of shaded reds and blues.
Fan modifications were getting really big at this point in the mid-2000s, with dedicated forums and websites to specific games. People discussed endlessly on how to modify any number of games from Doom to Half-Life to Age of Empires. I can't even imagine how many mods were churning out of the collective imagination of the internet at that point, but rest assured, business was booming. It's so fascinating to me, the ways people thought to modify their favorite games, the ways they changed and evolved the original play-states to something more unique. Look at how Counter-Strike evolved out of Half-Life, two FPSs with totally different gameplay. Then Portal from Half-Life 2, well, sort of.
For a teenager without any money, mods were pretty much ideal at extending the life out of whatever games I had at the time. For free, you could go on one of these websites, browse through custom levels, campaigns, whatever, and squeeze a few more hours out of an already dogeared game. Hell, sometimes the mods would be better than the actual game! I can't tell you how many hours I spent lurking in the mod scene, looking at what other people made and just, like, imagining.
As I've been alluding to this entire time, Jedi Academy was one such game that really benefited from fan modification. People made custom avatars of basically every popular character at the time, including ones in the Star Wars universe that weren't even in the game (though I could never find a decent Han Solo skin). More interestingly, though, were the maps people made.
God, these maps. It's so strange looking back and thinking about how they, too, fundamentally changed how to play the game. Ostensibly, they were multiplayer maps, different arenas that you could load up on your host computer for people to play in. They still had all the proper placement for weapons, health packs, what have you, but I never really played them for that. I just liked walking around.
"BlueIce Twilight," one of my favorite JA maps. Made by Scizo VII, probably my favorite JA mapper. Just look at the scenery. This silent, almost somber winter scene.
I was in a clan at the time, that great melting pot of lonely teenagers. I don't even remember their name, or how they recruited me, though I suspect it was mostly me randomly joining their server, someone asking if I wanted to join, and me not having anything better to do. But they always loaded these custom maps, originally in Jedi Outcast, later in Academy, that other people had made. They wouldn't even play the game normally, it'd just be a chat room, essentially. We'd explore the maps, not really with the intent to fight each other, just because it was cool and probably had a lot of secrets for us to find.
In the mod sphere of Jedi Academy, people eventually caught on and started developing maps specifically for these purposes, Sith Council and Jedi's Home being prominent examples, where the intent was mostly to facilitate the whole hanging out vibe. You'd have bars, private and public dueling rings, council rooms, even private bedrooms for whatever clan to host on their server and its members to claim as their own. Bars, in this virtual world, which seemed so cool to a 15 year old, even though the drinks were just textures on a wall.
Suffice to say, at this point, I didn't play Jedi Academy the 'proper' way anymore. I didn't play for the single-player experience, which wasn't too good anyway. I played for these maps. Either in that forgotten clan, or more often by myself. I'd go to a couple of modding sites I knew, I don't think they're still up anymore, and check what new maps were available. I'd track a few modders I knew by name, and see if they had anything new. For a day after school, I'd just explore. I'd walk through the map with whatever avatar I felt like at the time, none of them making sense in a Star Wars context. For example, when I took these pictures (and lots more) a couple of years ago, I used a Solid Snake skin. Just because it was the best I could find.
These were spaces to explore, not to fight in. I didn't care about proper vantage points, good ambush spots. I appreciated the architecture, the different textures the mapper chose to give the area some life. I'd marvel at whether the monuments and pillars in one map were taken from existing game assets, or crafted from scratch. More than anything, I loved seeing how these guys fit their maps into some kind of existing universe, whether it was the Star Wars galaxy, or just something in their own heads. A beautiful, hoary installation built into mountainous rock, called one of Boba Fett's hideouts. A strange desert temple, mysterious and tinged red throughout, with an inner sanctum open to the stars ("Desert Temple," above). A tiny little spaceport attached to a sprawling ancient temple, built by some unknown starfarer ("Lost Temple II," at the top). Even the Millennium Falcon, not in vanilla Jedi Academy, realized in extreme detail.
These places took over my imagination at that age. I'd walk around and let the maps infuse my imagination. The ones I liked best, the ones I've linked to here, seemed so full of care, so packed with ideas, that it made me wonder just how they fit in their own little universes. It's hard for me to put into words, since this was long before I started thinking creatively, analyzing my feelings and my imagination, this was when I just…felt. Not to mention it was ten years ago. But all the same, maps like these are probably the reason I love escaping into fantasy, because I'd always want to live in places like these. Nowadays, it's wanting to write places like these, and the people inside.
"Arevass," another favorite. I'm linking to the full picture since I remembered to use Spectator mode by this point.
Just…I can't look at this image and NOT try to think of a story for it. There's so much ambiance, so much to tell.
More than any other game I've ever seen, the modders for Jedi Academy let their imaginations go wild. They spent untold hours creating temples, cities, grottoes, gave them so much life that, in my mind, they weren't really meant to be 'played.' These weren't spaces where you blew people up with rocket launchers, where the scorch marks of blasters slowly faded from the walls. These were places to explore, expressions of the artist's creativity in a game engine. Creativity I don't really see the likes of before, at least the way JA could bring it out.
I'd almost liken them to Minecraft, the ways that the modders created whole spaces out of their imagination. Minecraft has all these cities people have made, you can spend hours just looking at them on YouTube. God knows I have. They're places that excite the imagination, that almost beg you to create a story for it. Empty houses, empty castles, just waiting for an injection of humanity. Places full of potential loves, hates, tragedies, and hopes. You walk through them as you might a museum, appreciating the effort the creator put in, and you just wonder what, in-universe, happened within their halls.
I do, at least.
I don't really know why Jedi Academy specifically had this sort of sub-movement. Half-Life was also really big at the time, Doom as well, but all the mods I saw for that were different campaigns, different ways to play the same game as you normally would, just with clever level or enemy designs. You'd have horror mods, sport mods, but nothing to explore. I don't know what it was about Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, but those games just lent themselves to calm, relaxing exploration of strange, beautiful spaces.
"BlueIce Nightfall," Scizo's second BlueIce map.
It's not even close to Star Wars anymore! But all the same…just look at it. The Quake 3 engine could really make some magic.
When I write, I get hung up on how to describe scenery. I don't really know how to do it effectively, the right words to use, the specific language. I didn't learn scenery through books and the written word. I knew scenery by hours of exploring them inside video games, and understanding them in terms of the game engine, the assets provided by the developers. If you asked me to describe any of these maps in the vein of a story, I don't think I could for you. I'd much rather reinstall the game and show you myself, the same way I learned a decade ago.
If this post gets popular enough (ha), I'll try uploading the other pictures I took of these and a few other maps. There's quite a few, not all might make sense, but I hope they'll be as evocative to others as they are to me. You really don't see this kind of thing anymore, and while I don't have the time I used to, I miss this particular escapist niche.

Trick or Treat – Music to Scare Your Neighbours
Why more bands don't write horror-related songs nowadays is beyond me – still now, there's a pitifully short list of tracks which will be wheeled out seasonally to back a TV channel's October 31st line-up – usually Bobby Pickett, Screamin' Jay Hawkins or, more recently, The Automatic. I don't mean to reduce music to a financial commodity but in terms of marketing, the acts of the Fifties and Sixties represented here are miles ahead of the game, at the very least ensuring their legacy is still being listened to generations later.
Collectors of Halloween and monster music will be largely disappointed at some of the choices across the two discs – the aforementioned Screamin' makes an appearance, which is fine but I Put a Spell on You? Lazy. Bo Diddley's Bo Meets the Monster is one of the great Halloween songs but again, unlikely to be of interest to anyone beyond the very casual listener – the very nature of this line of releases is to appeal to the collector of deep cuts, and anything approaching filler jumps out glaringly.
Disc one launches with Round Robin's I'm the Wolfman, a rather vanilla R&B number which leans a little towards Chubby Checker, accentuated by some impressive growling noises. Lee Ross' The Mummy's Bracelet is annoyingly slight and twee, with only a line "where his fingers touched the flesh it began to crack" catching the ear. You won't be surprised to learn that the following track by Don Sargent and the Buddies, Voodoo Kiss, is similarly flaccid, neither evocative, catchy nor deserving of recognition in a field festooned with great tracks oddly overlooked in its favour. It's not until the strangely abstract The Rockin' Ghost by Archie Bleyer that you feel that the project has succeeded in any way. The Rockin' Ghost was co-written by polymath Steve Allen, who you can picture in your mind's eye as the genial TV host allowing a youthful Frank Zappa to 'play' a bicycle.
Bill Buchanan's Beware is a truly great Halloween songs, one which deserves to be wheeled out far more often, though once more the likes of the dismal Frankenstein Rock by Eddie Thomas takes the whole collection right back to its 'will this do?' status. The flitting of musical styles is as jarring as the wayward quality, the unifying bond of horror doing little to paper over leaps from bop to pseudo-twists, doo-wop and crooners, some of whom are firmly on the 'so bad it's bad' side of the line. It's a strange achievement as there are plenty of Halloween-themed collections out there that serve perfectly as background to parties and the like but here, it feels very much like a job half done. As with each of the compilations in this series so far, Ken Nordine makes an appearance, bafflingly on an instrumental track that somehow missed a permanently open goal.
Kip Tyler opens disc two with She's My Witch, a real grower of a track, with some frankly dirty saxophone worthy of the Las Vegas Grind compilations adding to the general oozy feel. No-hit wonder, Archie Kings resets the clock to humdrum, He's a Vampire having nothing musically or lyrically other than mention of a vampire to keep you entertained. Truly, there were so many horror pop songs released over a twenty year period, it seems inconceivable that these have been chosen for quality – presumably the rights allowed for these to be used on the cheap, which takes us right back to the previous release… it all just smacks of exploitation of the listener and the artist.
Salvation comes in the form of Jerry and Mel's Cannibal Stew, a track both pleasing to listen to and in highlighting two songwriters who spent their entire career, save for this one single (actually the B-side), in the shadow of others. Jerry Marcellino and Mel Larson's careers has seen them write scores of Motown hits, as well as such fun diversions as Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Mongo Santamaria and The Rivingtons and it's nice to hear them under their own names. One of the best tracks across both discs is from Leroy Bowman and the Arrows with Graveyard, a fine balance between spooky and melodic. Another excellent alternative to Bobby Pickett is The Mummy, a much-featured track on such compilations, by Bob McFadden and Dor. Bob's whiny, nasal voice will be familiar to many, having voiced many cartoon characters over the years, of particular note the ferociously annoying Snarf from Thundercats.
With both Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Bo Diddley on this disc (Bo Meets the Monster is imperious) it sets the standard high and there are odd tracks which are good support band fodder, stuff you'd wait until the end of their set to go to the bar for – The Interiors' doo-wop slap-to-the-face Voodoo Doll is particularly worthy of replays and The Five Blobs' theme to The Blob movie is a nice way to round off the disc. Some odd choices; some plain bad choices; some lazy; some very good. It's a compilation, maybe that's what you are geared to expect – not around these parts though.

I liked it. I haven't watched many book trailers, but most that I have seen are just still life pictures to go with the book with words draped over the pictures. I liked how yours kept switching between you and scenes in the forest.
Thanks, Char. We were trying something different since we couldn't do a live action trailer this time. Those trailers with the stills are an easy way to do them yourself, online, if you don't happen to have access to equipment and filmmakers. We had a lighting kit, HD camera, boom mic and operator, and someone to direct and edit. Not everyone can get those things.
Well, bravo to you all for a trailer well done.
Wow, really good. I like the idea of connecting you directly to the book and giving us the synopsis.
Thanks for ordering through an indie bookstore. I like to support them as much as possible. And tell Maddy hello and I'm glad she likes the book so much.

Flight of the Kestrel
Gerald of Wales
History Illustrations: Peace between England & Wales?
King Henry III & the de Braose Heirs
We reach chapter 6 of Broken Reed: The Lords of Gower and King John and this lovely illustration of the lion of England, the dragon of Wales, and the dove of peace hovering over them. Will there be peace between England and Wales? Will the dove get to land?
King John's behaviour after Magna Carta threw England into turmoil. The barons were so incensed with him that they offered the crown to Prince Louis of France. When John died, Louis was already in England with his army and had been welcomed into London with open arms.
William Marshal
The Welsh, led by Llywelyn the Great, took advantage of the chaos to recapture some of their lands. John's son Henry came to the throne (as Henry III) with England's greatest knight, William Marshal, as regent. William, though elderly, led the army against Louis and defeated him in September 1217, while the Welsh were offered peace between England and Wales.
The Treaty of Lambeth which ended the war was not acceptable to the Welsh, but Reginald de Braose saw his chance to re-enter the fold, and transferred his allegiance from Llywelyn to the new king. Reginald was restored to favour and given back the Bramber estate.
Angered by his son-in-law's defiance, Llywelyn captured Brecon and Swansea, handing Swansea over to Rhys Gryg of Deheubarth. Reginald de Braose was forced to surrender to Llywelyn and yield his Welsh territories. Rhys Gryg swept through Gower and ousted all the English, giving their lands to the Welsh. Reginald's nephews, Rhys and Owain, princes of Deheubarth, also rose up and captured Builth.
Llywelyn the Great
In March 1218 Llywelyn met with the king's representatives and agreed a much better settlement, known as the Peace of Worcester. He had to make concessions, including the return of the de Braose lands, but much of his territory was accepted. But he was expected to ensure the other Welsh princes came and paid homage to the king instead of paying homage to him. Unfortunately, only one did, but the crown decided to keep Llywelyn's friendship, and didn't make a fuss.
In 1218 Peter de Maulay, constable of Corfe Castle, was ordered for the third time to release William III's grandsons, John and Giles. This time he complied. John de Braose was twenty and as the eldest son, laid claim to the de Braose estates, some of which were held by his uncle Reginald. The lordships of Bramber and Barnstable came to him with no trouble, but his claim for the Welsh lordships was refused.
Since Reginald was out of favour with Llywelyn, John de Braose turned to him to aid him in his claim against his uncle. In 1219 Llywelyn ordered Rhys Grug to give John Gower, and in return John made an alliance with Llywelyn by marrying his daughter Margaret. For those who have read my book Alina, The White Lady of Oystermouth, John and Margaret were Alina's great-grandparents.

We are at the time of year for family vacation planning. Many of my parents ask when they should travel with their children. It is always hard to travel with your kids, but it can be a lot of fun with both good timing and planning.
Newborns are not good travelers, nor are their parents. The first 4-6 weeks after birth should be focused on the mom's recovery from the pregnancy and delivery. I try to discourage travel prior to 4 months of age. Most of the first time parents do travel because of the excitement and the desire to share that excitement with friends and family.
Some simple tips: Fly if possible but all carry on must be things for the baby. Pay extra to stow your bags. Book direct flights early in the day. Avoid connecting flights if possible. It seems that there are always unexpected delays and missed connections. Always carry on extra clothes and twice as many diapers as you may anticipate. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen prior to travel may make discomfort due to air pressure a little more bearable. If you must travel by car consider renting a newer model car. Take an umbrella not just for rain but to avoid sun exposure if you are forced to stop for assistance. Always have water and food for the baby. Mix formula as you need it to avoid prolonged heat exposure to prepared formula. It will go bad and may make your infant ill.

Ignorance, Arrogance, Deceit, Stupidity
Lance Simmens: Chuck Grassley is an ignoramus, and Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy are political drug dealers willing to numb their Republican colleagues with lies and deception.
Lance Simmens
Ignorance, arrogance, deceit and stupidity are the pillars of the current political leadership in Washington, DC these days. This is the new normal and Trump is the standard bearer. But you can only be a leader if you have followers or at least enablers, and unfortunately he has both. The only question is will he have enough?
But this has been building for a long time and the political calculus has been shifted to reward stupidity. It is generally recognized that time and experience can overcome intellectual deficiencies, but when the system erects disincentives to rationality, you get what we have: namely, a corrupt and broken system.
With the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 a wave of newly elected Republican U.S. Senators representing what may constitute the least distinguished entering class in American history helped propel what would become known as the Reagan Revolution. The deep tax cuts combined with grossly miscalculated defense increases and deep cuts in domestic discretionary spending programs and a philosophy of supply-side economics that would magically produce budget surpluses instead trebled the national debt within a decade and put us on a glide path to an era of stagnating wages that has helped devastate what is left of the middle class.
I was a staff member of the Senate Budget Committee during that time and watched with disdain and horror as Reaganomics precipitated a virtual economic collapse and took a meat axe to programs intended to help the most vulnerable in society. More importantly, however, I got a chance to observe on a daily basis the incredible lack of expertise, experience, and the dearth of intellectual capital of this entering class. It is notable that of the 14 members fully half would be gone after one term, which again may be a record for political futility, but I will leave that to the historians. In the intervening years Republicans have largely controlled Congress and now control both the Executive and Legislative branches of government. The operating political calculation has become the less you know or care the better. What a sad commentary upon our representative democratic system.
And regardless of the amount of time spent in Washington, DC dumbing down has become an art form. Here is an example, one of the class members who still occupies his place in this august body is the senior Senator from Iowa, Chuck Grassley, who serves as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. From his first days in the Senate he did not carve an impressive portrait. I recall his maiden days on the Senate Budget Committee where he struggled with some of the basic concepts of economic policy as he dutifully endorsed the Republican agenda.
Well, it seems that after 36 years in the Senate the gentleman from Iowa is as clueless as the day he entered. Whether by design or pure stupidity, I will not venture a guess. As Congress stubbornly struggles with health care reform in a desperate effort to secure anything that can be perceived as a victory, pyrrhic or otherwise, and with an absolute absence of a credible analysis of the costs and consequences of provisions that seem to be woven out of whole cloth Senators are left to fend for themselves as to why they support it.
While Grassley may deserve some credit for candidly professing ignorance of content, his admission that regardless of whether the bill which affects potentially 20 percent of the economy is a benefit to this constituents or not he will support it. Pure and simple, a political calculation that is devoid of content analysis. No one can be this stupid, can they?
In a rational society he should be fired for malfeasance, in the business world he would be sent packing if he did not render decisions based upon how they affected the corporation's bottom line, on the farm he would be ostracized for not feeding his livestock in an attempt to afford a new automobile, in the political arena he seems to not care one wit. And of course he has plenty of company, by most estimates at least 47 of his Republican colleagues who profess loyalty to the Constitution but actually respect the power of the party over the well being of the public are willing to pass this pathetic legislation.
Worse yet, they continue to enable the meanderings of madman whose inept, impotent, and criminal leadership imperils the nation and the world. A purported world leader who once again revealed himself as a joke with his juvenile presentations at the United Nations this week. While watching the Vietnam War documentary last evening, Lt. General Sam Wilson captured America's inability to prevail by saying "you cannot dispel ignorance if you retain arrogance," which fairly accurately sums up the position we find ourselves in as we face a world increasingly wary of either our intentions or reliability.
Chuck Grassley is an ignoramus, and Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy are political drug dealers willing to numb their Republican colleagues with lies and deception.
We are being guided by a President that is so intellectually incapable of anything that does not contain bluster or bravado that he cannot grasp even the basics of sensitivity to diplomacy. Forget that he twice refused to adequately identify the African nation of Namibia while addressing a meeting of African leaders, but letting them know that he has many rich friends who love their continent for the opportunities it offers for exploitation is the height of arrogance. The amazing thing is he is seemingly unaware of the fact that this would be interpreted as a slight of the highest order. His tone deafness on the issues of both immigration and white supremacy and clumsy efforts to offer half-assed backpedaling simply offer no other explanation than a latent racism that his followers heartily applaud.
Chuck Grassley is an ignoramus, and Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy are political drug dealers willing to numb their Republican colleagues with lies and deception. Mitch McConnell is a pimp who gladly sells out his constituents to the highest bidder and hopefully will cause great damage to the Johns he is responsible for. John McCain has called for the reinstitution of regular order, which basically means deliberation and analysis of major legislation so that esteemed members of the Senate can make informed decisions. Is this too much to ask? I think not. Will he stick to it under the weight of relentless pressure from his friend from South Carolina? Guess we will see.
The Graham-Cassidy bill may or may not adversely affect tens of millions of Americans. The simple answer is we do not know. The bill may or may not remove important protections like pre-existing conditions. We do not know. The bill either does or does not meet the Jimmy Kimmel test. We do not know. Although we do know that Jimmy Kimmel does not want his name associated it.
We will only know the answers to these and other important questions if we take the time to do the job that is expected of our elected representatives. Putting pressure on the institutions and leaders of government to vote on the presumption that any of these idiots is actually telling the truth is a fool's errand. After all, they have seen the Liar-in-Chief operate with relative impunity up to this time so maybe this is the new normal. I hope for all or our sakes that is not the case. To quote the "orange Julius", we will see, we will see. What a farce.
