'I give Diana Credit for Saving Our Town,' Says Stirling City Fire Chief"
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211454840
As teams sift ashes in Paradise today searching for bone fragments of those who were killed in the deadliest fire in modern California history, not far away, residents of a much smaller town, Stirling City, return to their untouched homes after being evacuated for 10 days. They do so in part because of Division U Supervisor Diana Totten, a Humboldt County resident and one of the few transgender wildland firefighters in the nation. Totten and a Mendocino County man alternated the Division U Supervisor position–for over ten days, they traded off sleeping and doing paperwork while the other ran the line. At times they had close to 300 personnel under their direction battling the Camp Fire.
“I give Diana credit for saving our town,” Pete Cuming, Chief of the Stirling City Volunteer Fire Department, said warmly. Over the years, Cuming who has been chief since 1987 and been a volunteer firefighter since 1980, has poured a lot of love into his community. He has carefully restored the oldest house in town, built his own trucking business, and created a scale model of the old mill which he has lent to the local museum.
Ohio county GOP chair doubles down on Facebook post CA wildfires 'God's punishment to liberals
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/11/ohio-county-gop-chair-doubles-facebook-post-calling-wildfires-gods-punishment-liberal-california/David Johnson, chairman of the Columbiana County Republican Party in Ohio, came under fire on Monday after he said that the deadly wildfires in California are “God’s punishment” to liberals.
Johnson posted an image of the fires on Facebook with text that read: “God’s Punishment to Liberal California.”

In a statement to WFMJ, Johnson defended the messages he posted on Facebook.
“California has been overtaken by liberals who have taxed and over-regulated the state,” Johnson opined. “There are changes that could have been made which would have helped prevent the deadly fires had there been proper management of forests, but the timber industry is not allowed. The firefighters and people’s lives should never have been put in jeopardy. They did not have to die and people did not have to lose their lives, homes, and everything they own.”

I have been to Columbiana County, OH and California and California is much nicer.

The indictments were placed in the docket with care, In hopes that Bob Mueller soon would be there;
There are dozens of sealed criminal indictments on the DC docket. Are they from Mueller?
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/dozens-sealed-criminal-indictments-dc-docket-mueller/story?id=59249030
More than three dozen sealed criminal indictments have been added to the federal court docket in Washington, D.C. since the start of 2018.
Sealed criminal court files are assigned a case number, but do not indicate the identity of the parties or the nature of the charges, so it is impossible for the public to discern what those sealed cases contain.
But several legal experts told ABC News the number of sealed cases awaiting action right now is unusual. Fourteen were added to the docket since late August alone, a review by ABC News has found, just as the midterm elections were drawing near and longstanding Justice Department policy precluded prosecutors from taking any public action that could appear to be aimed at influencing political outcomes.
***********
’Twas the week of thanksgiving, when all through the white house
Donny was stirring, he knew he was soon going to be outed as a louse;
The indictments were placed in the docket with care,
In hopes that Bob Mueller soon would be there;
The DU liberals were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of frog marches danced in their heads;
And mamma in her nighty, and me with a night cap,
I had just settled in for some fun time with mamma and then a nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
Donny sprang from his bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window he flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to his wondering eyes should appear,
But a stretch limo with eight lawyers and Trump thought oh dear,
With a driver, who was so lively and quick,
Donny knew in a moment it must be Bob Mueller, his #1 prick.
Bob yelled out loud and proud; On Subpoena, On Grand jury, On
charges for you all
Because you Trump are a traitor and now comes your fall.
Nancy Pelosi is going to be the next speaker. End of story.
There will be no big fight despite how much the media and the GOP wants
that to happen. She has done a good job, she is a class act, and she knows
how to get things done.
Banner Year for Female Candidates Doesn't Extend to Republican Women
Source: NY Times
It is the year of the woman, all right. But only for Democrats.
The number of Republican women in Congress next year will actually drop, even as the ranks of Democratic women swell to record heights. With a few races still undecided, the new Congress will have at least 105 Democratic women and 19 Republican women.
But that is not all: From Congress to governor to state legislatures, far more Democratic women ran in this cycle than Republican women. And that means fewer Republican women on the bench, gathering experience and credentials to move up to the next level.
As the incoming freshman class of the 116th Congress gathers in Washington this week for orientation, the only Republican woman attending was Carol Miller of West Virginia (she could be joined by a few others whose races are still too close to call).

Washington Post: Trump, "You need I.D. to buy cereal."
Trump claims an ID is needed to buy cereal and that fraudulent voters simply switch hats.
He is nuttier than a squirrel turd.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/11/14/trump-claims-an-id-is-needed-buy-cereal-that-fraudulent-voters-simply-switch-hats/?utm_term=.af60f2a0086e
Here’s the first claim Trump made, hoping to bolster his assertion that fraud is rampant: “When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It’s really a disgrace what’s going on.”
Here’s the second claim he made, hoping to bolster the idea that photo ID should be required at polling places: “If you buy a box of cereal — you have a voter ID. They try to shame everybody by calling them racist, or calling them something, anything they can think of, when you say you want voter ID. But voter ID is a very important thing.”
