    1. This one really makes me angry. Bernie and AOC came in late endorsing Booker when Amy McGrath has been doing the work all along. In addition they are trying to portray her as a "trump supporter" and I can't find any evidence of the truth of that. They are not helping. The vote is on the 23rd of June and now they throw this mud in the water? All they're going to do is HELP Mitch McConnell - the very LAST thing we need!

    2. McGrath has been working on this for months. Last I heard, it looked like she was going to pull it off. What the hell is with Bernie suddenly endorsing someone else? That's bloody stupid!

    1. If the future happens first in California (I don’t find the source of the saying), does this marks the arrival of the effect on the East Coast of the 1994 Prop 187 effect? [Click] If so, here [Click] is a warning from 2012 of what may await the GOP. Fingers crossed…

    1. Here’s the report from my home town (Fort Bragg, California). [Click] At the next city council meeting they will discuss whether to put a change of the city's name to a vote in November. Yes, the city was named after Braxton Bragg, but before the Civil War, when he was a retired US Army Captain.

    2. Fort Bragg, North Carolina, was named in 1918.

    3. I misspoke; Bragg wasn't retired from the USA, but had resigned his commission.

    4. So, why should the town's name be changed if it was named pre-Civil War? Sorry, but that strikes me as daft.

    5. Most of the objections seem to come from flatlanders.
