SO, IS THIS A SIGN ..... OR JUST A COINCIDENCE?

by Bob Walsh

My local fish wrapper here in Stockton is THE RECORD, formerly the STOCKTON RECORD.  (As an interesting aside, the paper reported one of the first documented human-extraterrestrial encounters back in the 19th century, for what that may be worth to you.)  

Yesterday the editorial page had not one but two editorials that were not hard-core liberal.  One, by Marc A Tiessen who writes for the Washington Post, pointed out that the anarchy in democrat led cities is not Trump's fault.  He further pointed out that it is hard to justify blaming Trump for violence in the cities and to simultaneously blame Trump for trying to put more law enforcement resources in those cities.

The second was by Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.  He pointed out that one party rule has NOT been good for California and has led, among other things, to flight from California by the productive class.  California will lose at least one representative seat and maybe more than one after the 2020 census is completed.  Texas will probably gain at least three.

The third editorial was a warm-and-fuzzy about the health of the river ecosystems in California.  It pointed out that, all things considered, health river ecosystems are a good thing.
