Meanwhile, while promoting a "sanctuary state" and releasing prisoners into the general population, the legislature, local officials, and the very worst governor in the history of the country let the entire infrastructure and maintenance deteriorate --- broken dams, exploding transformers, rickety power poles --- because of their bizarre belief that he could should focus on "climate change and global warming" while at the same time Northern California is burning to the ground.

And lets not forget the super bullet train to nowhere.

Tim- In regards to plastic bags- this has been voted on by the entire state not just at a local level- ... and I for one appreciate the fact that I don't see plastic bags swirling around everywhere.

Er, um, ah. Tom you see a need for plastic bags, or were you just in a general bad mood for this current blog? too many feel good blogs with no comments? Hum.

You could always move where you wouldn't have to 'think' about bags; I'm guessing you forget a lot to bring your reusables when entering the car? oops.

Here, take a chill pill.

Your article is a breath of fresh air in more ways than one, Tim. Are you a voice in the wilderness or do more people see that this attitude of contempt toward our Federal Laws is dangerous, hypocritical and foolish? We cannot pick and choose which laws we follow. I cannot wrap my head around why people want to give sanctuary to criminals who are in our country illegally. How many people, including Kate Stinely would be alive today if this were not the case? Does it have to touch your family before you realize the folly and danger of this position? Forget political correctness and the socialist cause of the day; concentrate on safety and the rule of law and we will all be better off.

Fellow Americans are suffering from the fires in CA and the request for help is reasonable.

Many of the victims are senior's and US veterans.

Thank You Governor Brown for requesting federal assistance.

Thank You Regina for your toxic comments. B U S T E D!

If you're going to attempt to lambaste the columnist, you may want to take the time to spell his name correctly. Just a friendly suggestion...hth.

Tim,

Ironically I was up in Portland a week ago and was surprised to see a Fred Meyer right across the street from a Walmart. The Walmart parking lot was full of cars and Fred Meyer looked abandoned.

Most people don't know that Fred Meyer had the concept of all-in-one shopping many many years ago but, as far as I know, they never branched out of the Northwest.

Big mistake.

And yes, we bought some items from a 7/11 and we received a "free" plastic bag. Was kinda weird given the annoying hipster nature of Portland.

On a positive note, the culinary choice in Portland was outstanding! We ate in some of the most interesting restaurants that had fantastic food. Truly exceptional in that respect.

Enjoy!

Don't forget to thank President Trump for granting our idiotic Governor his request. I appreciate that the President doesn't hold
all of us Californians responsible for the lack of leadership. As you say B U S T E D!

So Home Depot no longer has plastic bags. Instead, they'll sell you a paper sack. So the cashier put my Simpson Strong-Ties (steel brackets used to frame wooden structures) that are a bit oily (because they're steel and would rust otherwise) in the paper bag. I made it half way to my car when the oil-soaked bottom of the bag fell out, scattering my parts in the parking lot. While I was kneeling to pick them up, a car almost backed out over me.

I get it that one-use plastic bags are wasteful, but there needs to be some common sense here. When we had plastic bags for groceries, I -NEVER- would use the clear plastic bags to bag my meat purchases. Now I -HAVE- to, because leaking meat juices ruin the cloth bags. In fact, I use them to bag everything that isn't dry. Plastic bags for my frozen food, bags for my milk - all in an attempt to keep my reusable cloth bags clean - does this seem counterproductive?

You want to know the craziest part? I went to the farmer's market, a place long associated with the green crowd, AND THEY HAVE PLASTIC BAGS FOR MY PURCHASES! Go figure....

To be very fair in judgement, I have to say that federal laws are a bit exaggerated. To know more about essay writing help, go to Web Link Federal laws should be for our ease, not otherwise.
