Elder For Governor 2021 | ElectElder.com Why I’m Running: I’m running for Governor because the decline of California isn’t the fault of its people. Our government is what’s ruining the Golden State. Our schools are closed to both students and their parents. Our streets aren’t safe from rising violent crime or the disaster of rising homelessness. And the scandals of Sacramento aren’t going to stop on their own. It’s time to tell the truth. We’ve got a state to save.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk showed off the new Falcon 9 recovery droneship called, ‘A Shortfall Of Gravitas’ (ASOG) in a video he shared via Twitter on Friday afternoon, shown below. The sea-going platform is based upon barge Marmac 302 and features SpaceX technology to operate autonomously. It is designed to support the landing of rocket boosters in the ocean after they deploy spacecraft into orbit. ‘A Shortfall Of Gravitas’ will now join SpaceX’s fleet of launch support droneships called, ‘Of Course I Still Love You’ (OCISLY) and ‘Just Read The Instructions’ (JRTI). All three vessels are named in honor of deceased author Iain M. Banks who wrote the Sci-Fi novel “Culture” novel series, written from 1987 to 2012. In the fiction novels, the vehicles are sentient starships that feature artificial intelligence with a personality and are capable of selecting a distinctive name for itself.
To H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks With Facebook • There is a now-infamous chat log between Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and a friend of his in college, wherein Zuckerberg offers to share private user information and sums up his opinion of the people who use Facebook as “dumb f***s.” We must reluctantly concede the point. We must truly be dumb f***s to have waited this long to rid ourselves of the hot garbage juice that is Facebook.
We Need A Leader | NC RenegadesI do want to address what we need to do to defeat the evil that has usurped our country, government, churches and educational facilities here.
Unite. Reject the labels and attempts to divide us. Concentrate on building a community based on common goals and tenets.
Focus on what needs to be done to give our children a better future. This begins by taking back our schools in every aspect. A good start would be allowing parents to sit in their children’s classrooms or monitoring teachers online.
Concentrate on every method to remove dependence on the state. That pathway has no honor, morality or virtue.
Become proficient in the safe operation of firearms. Always be armed and prepared to protect yourself. Practice operational security at all times. Our enemy must think twice before acting against us with impunity.
Stop using the lack of a “leader” for your inaction. Stand up and be counted. Whether it is a PTA, school board or county commissioners’ meeting, you can make a difference. Encourage your neighbors to do the same to make a united front.
Stop thinking you can vote your way out of this. The government has usurped power by fraudulent elections since 2008 at a minimum.
Remember the best trait of leadership is followship. Look for this trait.
…ask yourselves how people would react if the security director at a major voting machine company in 2022 turned out to be lifelong Bircher posting pro-Capitol riot msgs on Facebook. The info was all in the public domain, but the media ignored it. Why? https://t.co/di91bo8DZE
David “Vichy” French – David French. He does not write for conservatives.He and the rest of the “good faith conservatives” write for liberals and for libertarians who need liberals to pat them on the heads and say, “Good boy.” The project of the obsequious person is to secure his social status among people who hate him.
Last week Haiti’s current “guy who took power, did terrible things, and refused to leave,” Jovenel Moïse, was assassinated in his home by gunmen who used the old “[Knock knock knock] Water and Power; we’re hear to read the meter” ruse to gain entry. Sadly, it was only while opening the door that Moïse realized that his country has neither water nor power. But by then it was too late.
The Ideological Battlefield – If the antiwhite fanatics carry the day and erase white society from the book of life, they take themselves with it in what will be remembered as the great suicide of the West. If this is resisted and avoided, it will mostly likely require a degree of ugliness as yet unimagined.

California Legalized Theft. Porch Piracy Soared. – One article chronicled a multi-year effort by a socialist union leader, a Google employee, and a lesbian BLM supporter to stop a heroin addict who was repeatedly caught stealing packages. The junkie blamed racism, and refused to show up in court. Police officers came, wrote her tickets, and she went right on stealing. Judges issued bench warrants, and then released her, telling her to report to drug rehab, and she went right back to stealing. While one of her victims was in court waiting for the case to be heard, the thief was stealing packages from his porch.

Probably the most retarded thing I have read today, but the day ain’t over yet.
He may not be a politician right now but he certainly has the mind of one – lying and conniving.
It’s the system itself that is wrong.
Rearranging the decks chairs never patches the hole in the hull.
You have to fix the hole first and nobody has the balls and intellectual horsepower to mount such an endeavor. So everything will soon sink.
Provided we dump Newsome the Noisome (not likely in Fraud-a-fornia) I was ready to vote for Caitlyn the Magnificent, and that just out of sheer spite. But I’ve been listening to Larry Elder on the radio for decades. He is a voice for common sense, and he’s no fan of victim-olatry. If the guy is serious about running I’ll give my vote.
Ghost, just how would you do it. Listen I think NC a self serving knucklehead , yet support his overview of what needs to happen to fix govt.
This is perhaps one of the the first articles covering solution based articles. While not perfect, at least NC”s offering solid solutions. He’s right when he says we MUST take our country back. As forerunning for gov, or school board or city council, again I agree.
We have a perfect model, do what the left is doing, by organizing and beating the libtards at the ballot box. In jetting conservative values.
Face it, all the bold talk about CWII is nonsense, should have happened with the theft of a presidential election. The tough talking right bloggdaddies are amusing. I use to eat that stuff up, saw it as the only viable solution,,,, it’s not.
Our side MUST make informed choices, We MUST read the factual facts and base our choices on tangible evidence, not that crap on AP or WRSA, other sites. Anything actually political, one can usually have all voted on legislation copied and sent to your computers. Just the facts, zero hyperbole or half trust, innuendo, simply isn’t good enough.
Who, what, where, when, why and how, MUST be covered. We’re not getting that kind of detail from blogdaddies.
I’m not angry with those blogs, im disgusted with the childish yelling about silly shit, chest pounding. And I’m absolutely certain those sites are chalked full of federal agents, their bitches and snitches.
Our Goverment is scared shitless of us freedom lovers. Yearly the alphabet agencies spend Billions on surveillance, against We The People.
The left are word smiths, experts at adding a word or retracting a word in documents, that single word can change the meaning/ intent of that document. The left uses this cheap trick often to change the conversation, the intent. It’s bullshit, when called on it,, the left simply hides behind a simple grammar accident.
Lastly, I would invite you to seek out your representatives at city, county state and federal levels. Meet with them, learn them. Pay attention to exactly what they say. Support em to the righteous stuff, challenge em on the bullshit, remind then of exactly what your conversation was including the wordage.
Eventually they will recognize you are not a pushover, that your someone they can’t bullshit. The relation ship will change. Make yourself someone they seek out for advise./ input.

Dirk,
It CAN’T work.
The gov’t tries to defy the law of physics and continuously fails.
I’ve pointed out why numerous times and it usually sails right over people’s heads.
I have never lived even one day as a free man and know that I never will as long as this gov’t exists.
I believe that in time the gov’t will fail hugely under it’s own weight, “that which cannot continue will not continue”, and I sincerely hope that time comes while I am alive.
Casey KlahnJuly 14, 2021, 11:28 PM
Never underestimate what 1 good leader can do.
If Larry Elder is that man, so be it. There is a leadership vacuum in Cali as big as a sinkhole. As big as a black hole in space. However, true leadership take stones.
Good to pray.

Musk might be crazy, but he’s funny crazy. My kind of crazy. Would’ve made a good [old time] military pilot.

Re: Larry Elder. He may (or may not, who knows) have the best of intentions, but, yes, it is the fault of the people who elected the politicians who run the state. Pretty sure the Commiecrats haven’t won every state election by fraud, as they did the White House. Yes, Larry, it’s the people of Commiefornia who are to blame, most of them anyway. Fairly certain there might be a couple dozen members of the junior party out there who go along to get along.
EX-Californian PeteJuly 15, 2021, 9:55 AM
Larry has a good heart and good head on his shoulders.
That pretty much guarantees he won’t win in Commiefornia.
Even if he DID win, the state is so overrun with libtards in office, libtard voters, crime, illegals, homeless dregs, and gigantic, irreversible problems caused by decades of stupidity, nothing would change.
Face it- that state is so severely damaged now that it’s completely beyond repair.
ghostsniperJuly 15, 2021, 2:28 PM
that state is so severely damaged now that it’s completely beyond repair.
==========
The land is still viable.
The problem is most of the people.
Eliminate them and the problem is solved.
EX-Californian PeteJuly 15, 2021, 3:33 PM
Ghost-
Land is still viable? Nope.
Almost the whole state is a tinderbox, always will be. Worse fires every year. Destructive invasive species like the bark beetle.
A huge chunk of it was useless desert before Mullholland brought water to it. Aquifers drying up. Lakes bottomed out. Now the majority of water is gone- back to square 1.
It’s riddled with huge quake faults, with more faults being found every few years. Some faults “hushed up” for real estate reasons. (like the Hollywood fault)
Coastal waters with cesium pollution, bad bacteria, and NPS pollution that would linger for decades after people were removed.
Like killing off a severe termite infestation in a structure, the structural damage would still remain.
And just how would all those people be “eliminated?”
ghostsniperJuly 16, 2021, 4:35 AM
@Pete, yeah, every state has problems, there is no perfect place. California is BIG and there are still lots of very nice areas. Eliminate the parasites, by any way necessary, and I would consider living there. My new Cali home, designed and built by me, would be impervious to termites, floods, fires, and even earthquakes. In the absence of parasitic people I can live just about anywhere.
EX-Californian PeteJuly 16, 2021, 8:59 AM
Ghost- Yeah, there’s parts of CA that are awesome scenery-wise. I’m sure you’d build one helluva badass house with your knowledge and skills.
I’d suggest bringing a few important things with you, though.
1 or 2 million gallons of your own potable water, and a (heavily camouflaged) storage tank for it.
1 or 2 million extra bucks and a hardcore lawyer to cut through all the permit, inspection, and “environmental impact studies,” etc., BS and sky-high property taxes.
And good luck bringing, buying, or owning any firearms or ammo there!
Ghost, not sure where you live, I guess your definition of freedom is different then mine. I recognize that where one lives, country city state county, their MUST be rules, I’ve seen the other side of a lawless people. It’s not what I’d call free,,,,,at some point a bunch of dictators, war lords take over, one way or another your going to pay then as a tax, or in them taking your stuff, usually they choose both.
I live in southern Oregon, I recognize the social and legal issues, yet I’m as free as a bird,,,,,I do what I want, when I want. The few rules I follow are more inline with the Bible, then man made laws, but I do agree with stopping at stop signs, don’t steal others stuff, basic common sense.
Frankly I don’t know how one could be more free, zero govt comes with its own set of issues and consequences
I can live within the basic structure. When one lives a crime free life one has zero needs to concern themselves with laws, not broken.
Taxes, we’ll my vehicles are all 4×4, yet drive much better on a real maintained roadway. If all I gotta do is slip the man 2k@ year to keep him off my back, that’s cheap insurance in my mind. The dollars fiat anyway, and the national debts will never be paid off.
In fact fifteen years ago when I recognized the govt, has never planned on paying national debt off.
I don’t like it, but being Stoic, not a fricking thing I can do to change it. My friend we are as free as we choose to be!
I truly live a blessed life! A free life.

As far as I can understant the ghost/dirk split the first sides with the Bolshi’s (and not in a bad way) by saying, at this point, “the worse the better.” The second sez hey, you can only influence that which is under your immediate control. Beyond that, get stoic, but do what you can locally to improve nationally.
VanderleunJuly 16, 2021, 5:19 PM
Me? Right now I’m down with both sides now.
ghostsniperJuly 16, 2021, 6:05 PM
I guess it depends on how you want to live your life. I live by one main rule: “Treat others as you’d like to be treated.” I’ve always been this way but after I became self employed in 1986 I made an art form of it. In the 80’s I read a lot of books and listened to a lot of tapes oriented to self improvement and how to better your business. I learned that every person I meet, no matter the occasion, is a potential client so treat them as such. I also learned it is easier to keep a client rather than find a new one. And on and on. I do not recognize arbitrary laws because I already adhere to the highest law, see above.
Because I was born in this country and did what I thought was right for the first 30 years of my life, some how, and against my wishes, I became property of the US gov’t. They assigned me numbers, captured my fingerprints, my picture(s) and various other things in order to place an “invisble” noose around my neck. I can move, never use the numbers, acid my fingerprints, change my appearance but that noose will always be there. At any place, and at any time, I can be tracked down and caged or killed for any reason or whim. I fear no man nor animal on this planet for I can buffer myself accordingly. But I do fear the gov’t because it can attack me out of nowhere and use the full force of the treasury and military, including airstrikes, if it so warrants wherever I might be on this planet. I cannot prepare for that sort of onslaught. All any of us can do is hope luck is in our favor and our roll of the dice does not put us in the gov’t cross hairs. BTW, a couple weeks ago my wife got a letter from the IRS saying she still owes $150 from 6 years ago. During the past 6 years she has paid them over $100k. Plus $150. All of it is a monster I will always loathe, avoid, and never use. Roads? Please. Dead people don’t use em.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
