I don't know if a timeshare is subject to property tax, but since a mere lease is a form of temporary ownership, I would not be totally surprised if $$-hungry pols decided that a timeshare is a quasi-permanent partial ownership and therefore subject to property taxes. That this is in Orange County and not, e.g., Yuba County may be pertinent. Orange County has MouseLand, Yuba County has rice, walnuts, and almonds.

Ro Khanna Is a Shyster

https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/07/13/ro-khanna-is-a-clown-n3816877

Quote
Ro is running for president—something he has been doing for quite a while now without actually admitting it—but he got himself into a bit of a pickle by fully backing Graham Platner despite all the various scandals, up to and including the first accusations of assaulting a Lindsey Fifield.
...
He didn't just back Platner. He didn't just campaign with Platner. He actually subsidized Platner's rally following those accusations of assault.
...
Khanna didn't withdraw his support until a bandwagon, including Platner's DSA backers, who Khanna is counting on to vault him into the presidency, signaled that now was the time. It was a profile in pusillanimity. Now he is blaming others for his own bad judgment.

Khanna's argument? Nobody else saw the signs, so why does anybody expect him to have seen the signs ...
...
Now, in an attempt to distract from his incredibly bad judgment and his willingness to work with Platner, Khanna has flown off to Israel to instigate a confrontation with Israeli settlers, getting a news photographer to tag along on his trip.

His plan? To hire a Palestinian guide who was willing to break the law by entering a military exclusion zone from which all civilians, Israeli or foreign, are banned. He was, unsurprisingly, stopped at the border and held until the Israeli authorities arrived and sent him on his way unharmed and unarrested.

I don't know how much MSM coverage-outrage this stunt hs garnered, but it's being splashed all over FB. It's almost as if it were ALL and pre-planned coordinated stunt, :wink: .

Where did Kensuck get his military expertise from? watching reruns of Combat and 112 O'clock High with a little Hogan's Heros tossed in?

From playing lots of Candyland. :rimshot:

The Democrats have some trouble in working things out when their side finds a candidate that has issues. Ted Kennedy and bill Clinton and JFK and who knows who else they have covered for until they can't hide it any longer. The same with the media.

He may be a rapist, but he’s OUR rapist.

To be fair - I'm probably too kind, as usual, :-) - I think the MSM kept JFK's horndoggery more or less secret or rumor-grade until sometime in the 1970s.

Joe Jr. MAY have been the only scion of Joe Sr. who was not a horndog. Not sure about that. That is what Joe Sr. trained his boys to be, though.

He's such a coward that he did this in response to an assassination attempt.

 :banghead: Has Candace Owens agreed that he was not assassinated by Israel? :banghead: I wish that were funny.

I did not look to see this thread, H/T Ptarmy, so here's what I just posted in the Shoutbox, with typo corrections and clarifications:

Graham, to me seemed lost i, the decades-old psst of Senators working together, giving a little here, taking a little there, getting most things done, sort of. The Dems started stopping that work together thingy when Reagan beat Carter - e,g, obstructing USSC nominees - and utterly @#$%-canned it when GWB was elected in 2000. Graham missed that two-decades reversal or pretended it could be reversed with his unilateral collegiality.

The Dems steamrolled him over and over, and he never quite got that they would not play long with what he hoped to do. Graham's main issue with Trump seemed to me that he thought Trump's style undermined what he hoped to do.

I did not really follow Rs' and conservatives' backing-and-forthing and frustrations with Graham very closely, so I could be far off base and would not mind being better informed.

The DUmpster / Krasnov Is Scared Shitless

Krasnov Is Scared Shitless


Put yourself in his head, no seriously. The man has gotten his way all of his life. The man has gotten people to fight his fights all of his life, whether it be daddy, or doctors, or lawyers or judges or Congressional Magats.

Michael Cohen stated that Krasnov has never been involved in a physical altercation his entire life, (not counting when he dragged Ivana down the stairs by her hair), Krasnov is a full blown coward, he talks tough to cover it up.

Iran is standing up to the bully. After bombing Iran with thousands of bombs and missiles, Iran didn't back down. Iran is no match for our military might but Iran has scared the shit out of Krasnov, it has threatened to kill him, has put him on a kill list. Western intelligence advised Krasnov that there was a plot to kill him in Turkey. Krasnov is so afraid that he actually listened to his advisors for once and dumped his prize Qatari 747 plane and went back to the old AF 1. The White House correspondents who flew back from Turkey were advised to pull their window shades down.

Krasnov stated that he is on a kill list, but then said, it won't last long. What was he hinting at? I believe that Krasnov is so afraid that he is going to lash out at Iran with another full blown attack which may include boots on the ground.

A cornered rat is a dangerous rat and Krasnov has never had anyone respond to him like Iran did, even when he used the might of our military to fight for him Iran did not back down.

I see a bad future coming.

I have an update, Iran is preparing for an invasion. In the past several days Iran has attacked Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, UAE, and Jordan. Iran has extended the battlefront 3,000 km, Iran wants to stretch the US defenses. I'm sure that Krasnov has promised to protect these ME countries and he is in trouble if he can't. Iran is a very large country with missiles and drones scattered all across its land which is enabling it to strike the other ME countries. What is the US going to do when Iran starts doing serious damage to other ME countries? Will these countries turn on Krasnov and the US?

Watch the price of crude oil, it's a tell, it can only be manipulated so long.

Autophagy is what Marxist Socialists do. Stalin’s first purge was of “Old Bolsheviks”, party leaders who had been in the party before him or joined at the same and had somewhat of a following.. Once Stalin cleared out possible top-level potential rivals for power, he purged his army leadership, more potential threats to his power. Soon after Stalin purged the senior middle management of the party.

He established the Gulags first, using business owners, engineers, and farmers (“kulaks”). They were rehearsals for the purges.

The Dem party seems to be fully committed to a suicide mission. Just to get the votes they are welcoming in the DSA which has a stated goal of destroying the Democrat party. Make it make sense.

« Last post by DUmpDiver on July 13, 2026, 03:09:39 AM »
Nothing Trump said surprised me either. He's been very consistent in wanting other NATO countries to honor their NATO commitments.

Question for AOG: How is making NATO stronger a bad thing?

The DUmpster / Re: The fact that trump is refusing to sign the housing bill today is a good sign
« Last post by DUmpDiver on July 13, 2026, 02:58:07 AM »
70% of Democrats support the SAVE Act yet the DUmmies oppose it merely because of congressional Dems' TDS.

Trump knew full well that the housing bill would become law if he didn't veto it. How is this a victory for Dems?
