145k Votes to Count In Sac County

Yes, you read that correctly. In the home county of the world headquarters of ReallyRight.com, we still have around 145,000 ballots to process and count. You may be asking/wondering about the size of the county we live in, feel free to look it up. According to Wikipedia, the population is around 1.6 million people. Compare that to Los Angeles or San Diego that are far larger…. oh yeah, those counties are basically done counting! Seriously look it up. Los Angeles has about 25k and San Diego around 11k. Upon further review our home county has the most outstanding ballots by far! Coming in a distant second is Placer County, with 82k. Every other county has no more than 35k with many having only several thousand to count.

Y tho?

Well, it is hard to explain; actually, I really cannot. Our home county, and I will defer to the Blog Father for additional commentary, is mostly 100% urban/big city. Between Sac City, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Unincorporated Sac, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, etc. there are very few residents living in rural areas. Keep in mind that the cities I mentioned above basically all bleed into one another, in essence making it one giant metroplex. The outlying areas of; Wilton, Galt, Herald, Rancho Murietta and Rio Linda make up a rounding error is terms of total population. It makes no sense that counting would be taking this long, especially in the capital city of California.

What can be done about it?

Well, nothing really. The CAGOP contributed to the problem by putting out their own unsanctioned vote drop boxes 1 cycle ago. So good luck overturning all this mail in madness. When the state decided to mail everyone a ballot years ago this will be the new normal, we will have “election month” rather than election day. This is madness! But apparently only those who don’t affiliate with the GOP out here anymore seem to care. Sad!

A simple solution

We won’t be getting rid of the “top two” or “vote by mail” likely ever. So here is a workable way to do this. The ballots go out 1 month in advance but put a deadline on when it can be mailed in, I would advise 1 week prior to election day. This gives the local elections office plenty of time to receive, verify, and count the incoming ballots. Convert these “voting centers” into vote and transport ballot centers. Make it so if I drop my ballot off at EG Library it is picked up, delivered to the election office and therefore processed and counted same day, the earlier the better. This process should occur many times on election day. The goal needs to be getting all ballots processed and counted asap.

While my solution may not be the easiest it’s the best moving forward in terms of election integrity. I find it hard to believe here in Sac County we still have that many outstanding ballots when our election happened 3 weeks ago. This is the reason most on the fringes of society claim voter fraud. The longer this process drags out and the more and more ballots showing up in the mail after election ends gives these people more fuel for the fire.

Once more for the folks in the back

Ballots out 1 month early
As they are returned the are immediately counted and verified
Stop accepting mail ballots after about a week prior to election
Continue to verify, and count
On days after mail deadline, vote centers will collect and immediately transfer the ballots to election office
Results will update in 30-minute intervals election night, and a count of all uncounted ballots will be provided.

Simple.

Why I Can’t Support Donald Trump

President Trump had a good run, and in just four short years of his presidency he showed me how bad the GOP is corrupted by swamp creatures. Similar to the CAGOP, the national party has the same types of folks; they talk a great game, then vote differently. Case in point, healthcare. Trump upon being elected said “let’s get a plan ready and pass it once I am sworn in.” That never happened. The fire breathing conservatives never had a plan. In fact, I figure most of them likely voted for Hillary, figuring they could fundraise off her presidency and make millions. In fact, I think most would agree Trump fought more with his own Party than the liberals.

Everything was going well until the last 8 months of his presidency. Then it all un-winded in spectacular fashion. He “lost” the presidency. I use air quotes because I want to throw a bone to the mouth breathers who lurk on this site who keep talking about conspiracy theories. Trump lost, I am sorry but folks it’s been 2 years now, get over it. No one on this blog is happy he lost, mostly because of the way he lost, but most importantly what Trump did next was awful in my humble opinion.

In the Georgia Senate runoff, he made bizarre statements and made that election all about him, as a result we lost 2 seats in the Senate we should still be in control of. Rather than help the Party, Trump decided to make it all about him. Again, we lost both seats, handing Chuck Schumer control. Trump never let’s go of a grudge, and in this case, it decimated the Party. Look at what happened to the economy and the record spending on domestic and military programs by the Left.

His destructive persona continued with the January 6^th shenanigans. Frankly neither myself nor any other blogger on this site cares about January 6^th, it happened, if you want to investigate the capital police etc. go for it. It’s over. Much like the Trump loss, get over it. A group of whackos stormed the capital, see blogs about Jorge Riley for more details.

My biggest issue is how Trump acted this election cycle. I will mention again that he raised 200 million this election cycle, with most donors likely thinking this would help his slate of candidates: Dr. Oz, Kari Lake, Herschel Walker, Blake Masters, Adam Laxalt, Don Bolduc, and JD Vance. Of those candidates, none got any support from him, and only Vance won, underperforming big time, check out how the governor did in Ohio and compare. Trump spent no money he raised to help his own slate of people!

Worse yet he announced he had “an announcement to make 11/15 about his future plans” about 3 weeks prior to election. This, in my opinion, wound up the liberal base all over the country. We as conservatives must face it, Trump is to the liberals what the Clintons are to us, we will turn out in large numbers at the mere mention of the word “Clinton”. The Democrats did the same. They want no part of Trump, he is the anti-Christ to them. He did more than the Dobbs decision ever could. His announcement went off the same way we all figured it would, he is running. We barely controlled the House and will at best be 50/50 in senate. No red wave.

Trump made it all about himself, and the party was crushed. He never went after lock-down governors like Whitmer, Evers, or Walz. Didn’t go after any democrat senators either. It was classic Trump., I’m sorry to say this, but he is a narcissist, and the party is now going to be held hostage by him. Sadly, because Trump wanted to overthrow the election, among other odd beliefs, and our senate candidates were tied to him, they were torpedoed. Republican gubernatorial ones were able to slightly differentiate themselves and survive.

In closing.

Trump is running, he has already started going after Ron DeSantis (Ron Desanctimonius) and Glenn Youngkin (saying it sounds like a Chinese person). This will be found as funny to his devout supporters, but to me I’m turned off. Petty name calling and personal attacks have place, it’s called family court. DeSantis won big and is the frontrunner in my opinion, I will be supporting him or Glenn Youngkin (VA Governor) most likely. DeSantis turned a purple state bright red, Youngkin a former businessman who turned a blue state red, we need folks like this. Conservative governors are where the turn-around will start. Both of those are great choices, I like Abbott from Texas as well.

Sorry Donald, but your erratic behavior has turned me off. You could learn a lot about yourself by reading the room at your “announcement” where were the electeds? Celebrity GOP types? Even your allies from your presidency sat it out. I saw the My Pillow Guy, and Roger Stone, this hardly moves the needle. Now big money GOP donors are fleeing you and supporting anyone but you. You had six years to help elect Republicans that you could work with, but instead you sat on your thumbs doing nothing but self-promotion.

Mostly my disappointment is looking at what could have been. The Senate could have been 52-48 leading up to this election. Pick up AZ, NV, NH, which were all likely pickups by realclearpolitics.com on election day by the way. In addition to holding the open seats, we could be looking at 55-45 right now. The map looks bad for the Democrats in 2024, with seats in Montana, West Virginia, and Arizona up, all 3 of the current office holders are on the outs with the far left of the party, primary challengers perhaps? Also seats in the upper Midwest are up, if things go right, we could be looking at 60 seats! But no, we will be digging out of a hole due to Trump.

Red Ripple Thoughts

Well that kinda sucked last night. I was told by the media, even the left-wing ones, a red wave was coming. It was just a matter of how big. The talking heads were saying GOP House with a 30 seat majority minimum, and a GOP Senate with a majority of 3-4. Well, here we sit Wednesday at around noon, and we are at a House gain of 7, and a Senate loss of 1, and losses at the governor level of 2 so far. This is the opposite of a wave; in fact it should be deflating.

Sadly, as a former card carrying CAGOP member, I am quite used to this feeling. The wave never touches CA yet we were always told about the great hope that it would. Our guys were going to do it, this was the year…etc. So, the feeling, like I said, was nothing new.

So I will break down my commentary on winners and losers from last night.

Winner: Ron DeSantis. No question he is the frontrunner to take on whomever the presidential nominee is from the Democrats. A 20 point win in Florida is what he needed. Keep in mind 4 years ago he won by about 1%. He also became the first GOP governor to carry Miami-Dade County since Jeb Bush. Miami-Dade is mostly Spanish speaking mind you.

Loser: Dr. Oz. This guy lost to a clown who can barely speak after having a stroke and who spent most of the campaign in his basement. Oz also has a very questionable background of supporting; gay rights, lbgtq, puberty blockers, and just flat out being a shill who lives in New Jersey. Oh, also isn’t he a citizen of a Muslim country (Turkey)? This was a loss we couldn’t have, and he lost it.

Winner: Lockdown governors. Whitmer, Evers, and Walz all from the Midwest, all won fairly convincingly. I guess these folks like being in a nanny state? Amazing to highlight the difference in DeSantis winning by 20% supporting freedom, and these folks winning while locking down.

Loser: Certain down ticket races. More on this in a minute, but look at those Midwestern states mentioned above, add PA, GA, AZ, and a lot of House seats were left on the table.

Winner: Partisan politics. No major wave in either direction, major politico types sent packing over Roe v Wade or other far out policies. This country is evenly divided, and it appears the Senate and House will reflect that as well.

Loser: Trump. I am actually starting to get off the Trump train. Before you call me a bandwagon type or a fair-weather fan, I’m getting tired of his act. He raised over 200 million and spent almost none of it. This was a chance for him to get a coalition started for his next run. He missed badly. Even worse he endorsed and shepherded through some very average candidates. Pure speculation on my part but I think any other candidate than Dr Oz, Herschel Walker, Blake Masters and Dan Bolduc (ME) would have done much better. Even Trump supported folks who won badly underperformed. Look at OH, the governor won by about 26%, Trump endorsed JD Vance won by 7. In NC, Ted Budd won by about 5%. In AZ Blake Masters is tracking about 10,000 votes less than the governor nominee is currently getting. In PA his governor nominee flopped so badly it likely took Dr. Oz down in the undertow, at time of this writing the GOP governor nominee was at about 42% of the vote. Oh BTW in Colorado Trump was so angry at nominee Kevin O’Dea in the weeks leading up to the race he said O’Dea shouldn’t win and called him a RINO. O’Dea lost big, and Trump crowed on his Twitter clone, not a great look.

Winner: liberal policies. Crime and law and order were on the ballot everywhere, and the Democrats won all the left leaning states. So look for more homeless and more crime in these regions. It is what it is I guess.

Loser: GOP messaging. Which was what exactly? I’m being serious. It sounded like the same old same old, no taxes, less spending, put us in charge and you will find out. I heard no answers to the crime issue, none on the inflation issue, and I think the vote reflected that. You wanted to have your own congressman/senator back and let them continue the fight. If the GOP doesn’t figure it out on a national level and soon, they will be like the CAGOP, essentially a regional party who serves as “loyal opposition” as opposed to new ideas.

Chief

Editor’s note: Trump’s endorsement of DR. OZ was the stupidest endorsement that he ever made. He lost much credibility with me on that one. It even caused me not to contribute money to him anymore. Left that sink in just little. I’ve been supporting him since before he won the Presidential nomination, something few in California can truthfully say. I haven’t been a major donor, but I have given a few contributions since he became a candidate. Endorsing Oz really crossed a line for me.

Kevin McCarthy is not, nor ever has been, a conservative. He has a multi-decades long track record of opposing us and our ideas. He is the RINO’s, RINO. He is on the wrong side of almost any social issue that I or fellow Christians believe or care about. He’ll change his spots to appear our ally but beware. Mitch McConnell seems the same type of political animal; just enough change of beliefs to stay in power. For men like them, its about gaining and expanding power not doing what’s best for the country.

There was no GOP coalition to oppose Biden. All we got was the same old crap (smoke and mirrors) as “repeal and replace” with a lot less believability and only after internal polling showed the insiders that there was no Red Wave. It was a psyop to keep the Fox News faithful on the reservation.

The best we can hope for is two years of gridlock.

Midterm Election Predictions

By Chief & Troll

Long standing traditions on this blog: Troll chasing any skirt that walks past him, Johnnie Does ripping small businesses, and Chief making predictions about elections. So here we go!

Starting nationally

Blogger note: Keep an eye on New York Governor race, if it’s very close, the GOP will way outperform my predictions. Also be aware of the “3 am ballot discovery” or “ballot counting will take months to complete” California has mastered the later, most swing states the former. We saw the new Democrat playbook last election.

House elections: The GOP will pick up 35-45 seats, it would be much higher if we had better folks running for governor in certain states. In CA, we will pick up a couple seats…that’s my bold take. A comfy GOP majority.

Senate: Here is where my takes get even hotter, and predictions get bolder. We will hold: PA, WI, OH, FL and NC. These races won’t be close enough for the fraud to matter. We pick up: AZ, NH, NV for sure, again these will likely be outside the amount of fraud that the Democrats will need. Toss ups: CO and WA, these will be tough, but if NY Governor race is close, dominoes will be a fallin’. GA will go to a runoff and the GOP will win it next month.

The senate races remind me of a few years back, the Democrats put up average candidates, but they prevailed because the GOP brand was so bad, it’s going to be the reverse this time. Let us not kid ourselves; Dr Oz, Herschel Walker, JD Vance, Blake Masters, Dan Bolduc, and Ted Budd are average candidates, but in a wave year they get pushed across the finish line. I look for a 52-48 edge as a minimum advantage after Tuesday.

Governor: We will have a decent night, we hold GA, FL, TX, and VT. The Democrats will pick up Maryland and Massachusetts, but who cares, those were on borrowed time. The red team picks up: KS, WI, MI, NV, and I’m calling it, OR. New Mexico will be close, and I think MN could be a barn burner. Again watch New York, a little-known congressman from Long Island could keep it very close, Obama, Biden, and Harris have stumped for her recently.

Overall, a good night for the red team. On to CA

Not a lot of good to report here, I’ve heard rumblings Lanhee Chen will win Controller, no surprise, he is running as a Mitt Romney type. Nathan Hochman could make it close for Atty General. Look for Newsom’s results closely, if its close we could pick up about 4 seats in CA, a big blow out (68% plus) and I doubt it.

The statewide propositions will mostly all fail, the abortion one will pass big, I predict 68% in favor. Blogger note: This prop and Newsom should track fairly closely because the lack of any opposition from clergy, church or powers that be, make it a lost cause. I’m disappointed the CAGOP didn’t endorse Prop 27, as I believe sports wagering should be allowed from your phone, but the CAGOP is owned by the Indian Casinos, so such is life.

Let’s turn it over to Troll shall we….

Well, well, well, here I go torching the Democrats……

Anyone seen that John Fetterman guy? Running for senate in PA? He looks like anyone at a CA state prison yard, just look at him. Sweet holy moly is that the only outfit you own!

Oprah Winfrey supports Fetterman in PA…. well, if you want anyone to throw their weight behind you, Oprah isn’t a bad one to do so.

Speaking of weight, Stacy Abrams is running for GA governor again. Jesus, do her and Beto O’Rourke run for something new each cycle? I do not know what Beto brings to the table, but I do know Abrams brings two things to the table, A KNIFE AND A FORK!

Speaking of ugly, has anyone seen Congress person Rosa DeLauro?

Hey Troll, is this genetically male or female? At least 3 bags either way

Wow hubba hubba baby baby, you must hate Alexander Graham Bell for inventing electricity. Good god could you imagine if she married James Carville? Oh god, my eyes, it’s like someone threw bleach in them.

IM ON MY SECOND WIND……

Tulsi Gabbard leaves the Democrat Party….no shock; have you seen Democrat women lately? No one on their side is winning a Miss America pageant, no wonder they hate Trump!

DeLauro, Pelosi, and Hillary Clinton squaring off against: Lauren Boebert, Sarah Palin, and Nikki Haley is the definition of no contest.

In closing Troll has a new GF, Olympic bobsled and hurdler Lolo Jones. Check her out.

What is Causing the Fentanyl Deaths? It’s not what you think

Fentanyl is affecting hundreds of thousands a year, in all our communities. How and why is this happening?

Well really its simple, we are a country of addicts.

We do not want to believe or hear this but allow me to lay out my reasoning. In this country we are a nation of addicts, be it; alcohol, drugs, prescription drugs, phones, TV, porn, you name it, chances are you know someone who is one. Once you get hooked, you eventually need a bigger euphoria. So, you get into something more hardcore or take a larger dose.

I spoke to a friend in law enforcement and his comments were similar to mine. He took the stance of his industry that legalizing weed was a horrific idea, due to its status as a gateway drug. You start with weed, then your body needs more, so you smoke it more times a day. Then you have a larger desire, so you move on to cocaine, heroin you name the next drug in line. Furthermore, that doesn’t become a big enough hit, so you move on again. Eventually all roads lead to the fentanyl dealer. You take him up on it, if it doesn’t kill you, you come back for more. Or it kills you and you leave a family/loved ones behind.

The overwhelming belief from my friend in L.E. and his colleagues, where the bud is so much stronger than it used to be back in the hippie days, people are getting hooked quicker. We made a colossal mistake, but we do not wish to admit it.

Don’t believe me? You do not have to. All I ask is for you to picture yourself at your office or around your friends. How many of them drink energy drinks/Starbucks/Dunkin? How many drink numerous servings of them a day? How many vape? Smoke? Do edibles etc.? We are a large nation of addicts, many of the caffeine crowd make numerous trips to the “legal crack den” coffee shop as I call it. They are addicted and will need a bigger buzz at some point. So, you switch, move up etc. and eventually you end up dead.

A second hypothesis of mine is depression/mental health issues

We locked down for 18 months, maybe longer depending on your state of residence. We told folks at some of the lowest parts of the socio-economic ladder they were not essential. As a result, they stayed at home since well they weren’t needed. (2 weeks to slow the spread anyone?) This did horrific things to people’s mental health. When people are down, they search out a fix. The pandemic did wonders for your local dealer, and I’m not talking about the one working on a car lot. When you feel alone, depressed, and told you are not essential…. well, is anyone surprised we have a drug problem?

Isn’t it the cartels/border where the problem is?

Yes. But we have shown zero to attempt to do anything about the problem in the country under President Depends. An open border policy leads to drugs flowing in. Americans have lots of $$$ and we are willing to pay for vices to get a fix. We won’t close the border, soft on crime policies will have the offender out of jail before dinner time, and they will be back out dealing again.

Should we better educate our youth?

Doubtful it would work. Just like the cable watching older folks, the younger ones get their info and life advice from Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. Oh, I almost forgot TikTok–brought to you directly by the Chinese Communist Party who is likely responsible for these shipments of fentanyl going to Mexico to be sent to USA.

Be aware. These are killing folks in big numbers. It used to just be in Appalachia, then it moved to lower socio-economic areas, and now it’s in every big city. It’s bad enough now a local High School in my area had a booth set up to give out Narcan (lifesaving medical) to students to carry on their person in case of overdose. This will not get better America, but hey, grab that joint and light it up, trust me it’s just a little pot, nothing to worry about.

Editor’s Note: Fentanyl, also spelled fentanil, is a potent opioid used as a pain medication. Together with other drugs, fentanyl is used for anesthesia. It is also used illicitly as a recreational drug, sometimes mixed with heroin, cocaine, benzodiazepines or methamphetamine.

Retraction: Kiely Rodni Blog

I was wrong, I’ll admit I was wrong. I apologize to the family of Kiely Rodni. Rodni was discovered by a dive team the other day. In her car, which was found upside down in Prosser Reservoir. I said I would retract my comments if I was wrong and I am a blogger of my word.

Again, my apologies.

However, I just want to point a couple things out. First, I was stating an opinion, not fact. Second there were quite a few bloggers on the internet saying way worse things than anything on this blog.

I do find it odd her body/car were recovered by a dive team in a matter of hours when several different police/government agencies and volunteers searched the same area/lake for weeks. I also find it odd a “friend” of Kiely’s left her at 12:20am just 10 minutes before Kiely was going to leave the party. The same “friend” said Kiely was very drunk.

Again, we retract the blog, and I apologize to those close to Kiely.

But I will make this remark in closing. To the family of Kiely Rodni I would be very careful to whom you refer to as your daughter’s friends. I used air quotes earlier because I think these so called “friends” were using your daughter. It appears to me you are a somewhat well-off family, in the sense that you own a lodge. Kiely seems to have made friends seeking out your wealth more so than seeking out companionship. If you are in disbelief or thinking I have a tin foil hat on, ask yourself this question. Why would my daughters’ friends abandon her when she is obviously intoxicated? I can guarantee if I was intoxicated none of my friends would leave me behind.

Again, I am sorry your daughter was not found alive. My theory was she had run away with someone, and it runs out to be untrue. Now it appears she drove home and took a wrong turn/road/etc and ended up in the lake.

Toxicology report is due in 4-6 weeks, but I do not think it will tell us anything we don’t already figure is true. May she rest in peace.

One Man’s Mental Health Crisis

Readers, I am going to share my thoughts and opinions about one man’s mental health crisis. This is by no means a “painting with a broad brush” blog. I am merely pointing out how this crisis was caused by himself.

There is a friend of mine who is struggling to the point that he admitted to a doctor he had “picked out the knife” he was going to use to kill himself. As a result, he is on meds, seeing a counselor, and a psychiatrist. He is confused as to why. He also thinks this will be a short stay on the meds and appointments with others. What he fails to understand is in CA, you can sue anyone for anything, so especially when it comes to medical issues, everyone goes into CYA (cover your butt) mode. There is no easy way out and due to our lack of mental health facilities, all our society does is prescribe pills.

Enough about his issues, let us get to the root cause of this problem. It dates back about 2.5 years; you guessed it the start of Covid. He bought into the big lie being peddled by all news networks. The lie was we were all going to die, expect for a master race that would be avoiding Covid altogether. He hid inside his house and continued to consume more of this lying, even though it was being proven that folks were not dying en masse. It didn’t matter what was really happening, the folks on TV were saying otherwise. He tripped over people to get the vaccine, ditto for boosters and the like. This is even after seeing that the masses were not perishing in high numbers. He continued to watch the entire daytime and prime timeline up, concluding the lock downs must continue even though the numbers were likely being made up.

Recently he has changed his tune just like a certain cable network did toward Covid. It’s over and we better move on. He will even tell people he was never scared of Covid. Yet he still refused to flush the toilet at work, touch the doorknob, or let anyone stand near his desk. He doesn’t want me taking vacation anywhere because I may catch Covid, yet he attends casinos?

Long story short, he fell for the big lie. He cannot handle it. As a result, he pulls the mental health card, one he used to say was only pulled by the weak.

He cannot bear to watch his teams lose, he actually calls them his teams, yet he has no ownership stake or betting stake in them. Seriously, when they lose, he says he doesn’t want to talk about it, and he is depressed. Keep in mind this person is twice my age. When the 49ers lost the Super Bowl, he took a week off. The Giants are fading from the playoffs, yet he watches every pitch, every game, every day.

He has a reality issue. He thinks life is like a Disney Movie; the princess always gets the prince at the end no matter what. He can no longer separate real from fake. A game?!?!? Seriously?

He has pulled away from everyone and self-isolated. This has been a long time coming. His favorite pastimes are throwing folks under the bus and blaming folks who are not in the room to defend themselves. You should hear what he says about his golf crew behind their backs, you would think its mayhem on that course.

He has become the most price sensitive complainer I know. He gripes about everything, airfare, hotel rates, food, gas, … well except the gambling. All in all, he is bitter to be around, a wet blanket if you will.

To put a bow on this blog, I want to point out, I do think mental illness is real. It is a crisis; one we do not know how to deal with in a country that has become hyper-focused on name calling. The difference is he did this to himself. The number one cause of depression is isolation, a lie he bought into. He trusted Hannity, Tucker and Fauci. The lockdowns were needed, it was to weed out the weak. Sounds like he is having second thoughts on the upcoming booster? How come? You already hit your body with 4 jabs, what is one more? Prices going up? Well, that is a result of shutting things down, and now you have to pay a premium to hire folks to do those jobs. Another fact lost on him. Businesses were shut indefinitely, and it shows no signs of getting better. He never had the ability to understand you cannot put the toothpaste back into the tube. I think he feels he was lied to and conned by people he trusted; his “TV friends.”

Watching the TV for hours on end just makes things worse. 90% of that is negative, and its constantly negative. Worse, it’s on a continuous loop, so when one show ends another one starts and rehashes all the news. Watching more than 5 minutes could kill a man. This guy watches 10 plus hours a day. The TV viewing time is often extended longer by a steady diet of 3 plus hour baseball or football games. This is not the real world, it’s a fake fantasy.

He does not want to volunteer his time anywhere, nor does he want to get out of his house. Seeing another human is a wonderful thing, locking yourself in an echo chamber is not. Read a book, go outside, touch the grass, volunteer your time, get to a church.

Long and short, I hope he gets better but he refuses to change his ways. I see this self-destruction spiraling as he circles the drain lost in his delusions.

My Thoughts on Kiely Rodni’s Disappearance

Editor’s Note: I was sent this several days ago. At this point it may be m00t but I wanted to post it anyways.

Trigger warning: This article will share commentary, not fact, purely speculation about the disappearance of 16-year-old Kiely Rodni a couple of weeks ago. This may be disturbing to some readers; we recommend you find another article/site to click on.

Note: This is solely 1 person’s opinion, I hope I am wrong, and hope Rodni is found and returned home alive.

Kiely disappeared from a party in the Truckee area roughly 2 weeks ago, she is 16 years old. My understanding based on what I have read/seen is this was supposed to be a small party on Prosser Lake that took on a life of its own with between 200-300 folks in attendance. Sounds like a lot of drinking and drugs were present, and an age group ranging from early high school age to about 40-year-olds. A very eclectic mix indeed. Rodni texted her mother circa 11:30 pm saying she would be leaving in 45 minutes, she was never heard from again, her cell phone last pinged around 12:30 am. Her car also disappeared.

To be crystal clear we here at ReallyRight hope for her being found surviving, but this is where the story goes off the rails.

First, her boyfriend did not make the trip. After texting her that he was having a bad day (at 10:30) her only response was “sorry you are going through this.” Folks every couple I see is basically attached at the crotch these days. Seriously, the BF didn’t make the trip? Rodni didn’t seem too concerned about him looking at that text conversation.

Next let’s look at this statement from her friend

“I just want her to come back and be OK and just to know that she’s loved and that we all looked for her and that we all loved her through this and stuff,” Magdalene Larson said.

That is an awfully odd statement, we hope you come back, and that you are loved? Past tense?

Rodni’s best friend, Mags Larson, was also in attendance at the party but left shortly after arriving.

“She wasn’t in a state where she could have driven very far. She was inebriated,” she said, implying that Kiely must have been taken because they would have found her if she drove.

“We don’t know if it was someone who was attending the party or a predator,” she continued.

“We also don’t know if there’s someone she planned to go and meet who we don’t know about yet. It is a nightmare.”

So, the best friend abandons her shortly after the party started? We used to have a saying in college “bros before Hoes” for guys, “chicks before dicks” for ladies. This meant you never left someone behind at a party, period. Especially when drinking heavily. I’m sorry, this “friend” in my humble opinion knows far more then she is letting on. You do not leave a friend who is hammered at a party with a bunch of other people. Makes no sense. She left shortly after arriving, yet knew her friend was very drunk? Odd, nice friends you have Rodni.

Unless…

There is a massive cover up happening. Before completely writing this theory off hear me out. Turns out Rodni was wearing a couple different sweatshirts that night, one saying “Odd Future” another saying, “You do not want to be forgotten you just want to disappear.” Very odd choice of slogans for a teen attending a party with a bunch of total strangers. I think Rodni is alive. She met someone online and went to the party to meet up with them. Her BF appears aloof, and seemingly carefree. Her friends bounced out of the party like a jack in a box, leaving a drunk Kiely alone. I am not insinuating this is a hoax, I believe she ran off with someone, and I think her friends know damn good and well who. I think the hundreds of tips coming in are to throw the authorities off the scent. She had to have left the area, as her car is nowhere to be found. No clues about her disappearance are known either, just friends speaking in past tense about her.

Me thinks a couple of the friends are not even close to being forthcoming. I hope and pray Rodni is found alive, and I think she is.

Why?

No body, no car. There was a young girl abducted from Tennessee by her teacher and they were on the lam for about a month before they were found in rural northern California. I think something similar is going on here. I think Rodni knows the person, and I have my doubts about the abduction theory.

In closing, I hope she is found and returned home. I hold out hope as nothing material from any tip has been proven to lead to anything. No grown person, let alone their vehicle, disappears like a fart in the wind and no one notices. I would sweat her friends right now if I’m law enforcement. Just a bit of persuasion might break this case open.

Saint Stephon Clark the Martyr gets his Settlement

Thursday night on KCRA News, the outfit that brought you innocent black child gets “Rodney King’d” by white cops, had this doozy of a report about the deceased Stephon Clark. The City of Sacramento settled with Clark’s parents for the tidy sum of 1.7 million, this is in addition to the 2.4 million paid to his 2 children. Being shot by the police while being under the influence of every drug known to man, plus alcohol, plus domestic violence, threatening texts, and robbery pays well in this area. Trust me that 4.1 million is likely to be more than pretty much any middle-class family’s lifetime earnings.

Here are some highlights from the “report.”

On Friday evening, Clark’s brother ⁠— Stevante Clark ⁠— held a news conference to respond to the announcement of the settlement. Stevante Clark said that, despite the settlement, he will continue to call for the officers involved to be fired, charged and prosecuted.

Stevante is the piece of trash who during a city council meeting jumped on the dais and told the Mayor to “F*** Off” and other choice vocabulary. He has about as much credibility as Geoffrey the Giraffe of Toys’ R Us fame.

“He was a loving, loving, loving father,” Stevante Clark said of his brother. “He was a proud father. He was love and light.”

Well in that case maybe the settlement was low, seemed like a great dad, coked out of his mind on drugs to the point his grandparents wouldn’t let him in the house. Judging by the texts and his criminal rap sheet, Clark was the opposite.

Clark said he and others planned to protest Saturday afternoon at p.m. at Stockton and Fruitridge Roads to continue to call for the officers’ resignation. Stevante Clark also said, in honor of Stephon Clark’s birthday Wednesday, events would be held throughout the weekend in his memory.
“There’s no reason I should be out here talking about my brother’s legacy, defending my brother’s legacy, when the officers who murdered him should be proving their innocence in court,” Stevante Clark said during the news conference. “We always have to relive the death of Stephon.”

Ah, yes, a protest during these Covid times, monkey pox is prevalent, but its ok. Let us all gather to protest the death of a clown who got what he deserved. Um…, your brother’s “legacy,” what exactly do you mean by that? By the way, you are innocent until proven guilty you dumb hood rat. You would know that if you took any history class or been called to jury duty, but that assumes you receive anything from the government other than a benefit card paid with this blog’s workers taxes! As far as reliving the death of your brother…. take the 4.1 million, buy a place in Granite Bay. You will never have to relive it again, and you can celebrate his legacy as he dun got you out da hood. I mean your friends will call you an “Oreo” or say you’re “not really black” but live it up.

The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office and the California Attorney General’s Office said in March 2019 that the officers would not face criminal charges.
The wrongful death lawsuit filed against the city and the two police officers claims the officers racially profiled Clark and used excessive force when they shot and killed him in March 2018.
The city’s attorney Susana Alcala Wood said in a statement on Friday that the most recent settlement is “the best path forward for all involved parties including our community.”
The Clark family has agreed that the settlement brings an end to the legal action.
“Stephon Clark’s death was a tragedy that brought pain and sorrow to his family and to our entire city,” Mayor Darrell Steinberg said. “Everyone wishes this heartbreaking event had not occurred. A family lost a son, a grandson, a brother, and a father.”

The Sacramento DA was an Independent and the Attorney General was police hating Xavier Becerra. They found no reason to charge the cops. The police profiled Clark? Really? It was several 911 calls, him evading arrest, and running through other folk’s yards, and trying to break into a neighbor’s house. Yes, Sacramento’s mayor is correct the death of Clark brought pain to the families of 2 police officers. They are basically persona non-grata in this area, I hope both were able to transfer and move on. The city is going to feel pain too, this settlement will be paid for by increased tax money… but nothing another ½ cent sales tax can’t fix!

Blame the police, tax the people, remember Stephon Clark.

Saint Stephon Clark the Martyr……Pray for Us!

What we call news in Sacramento

Check out this whopper of a story transmitted by KCRA 3, the local news channel in our town. “Elk Grove family claims 11-year-old was tackled at State Fair, asks for termination of officers involved”

An Elk Grove family claims that 11-year-old Elijah Hunter was tackled by police at the California State Fair last week on Kids Day.
Hunter’s family, their attorney, Black Lives Matter Sacramento and the Greater Sacramento National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) gathered on Monday saying that his civil rights were violated and they’re now asking for policy changes regarding security at Cal Expo.
Cynthia Martin, Elijah’s mother, said in a news conference that his shirt was covered in blood.
“They [Cal Expo police] knew that they injured him because they provided the first-aid before we even made it to Kaiser hospital, where he received further treatment,” Martin said.

Just think about that for a minute, no actual reporting just releasing statements from BLM, NAACP and the victim’s family and attorney. Notice they make it clear they want people terminated. Notice the bolded words of “covered in blood” more on that later in the article. By the way, if officers injure someone, even shooting a criminal they have a duty to attempt lifesaving measures until fire/ambulance/etc. personnel show up.

Looking at this article it would appear this is Rodney king part 2 electric boogaloo right? Wrong.

But, in a statement to KCRA 3, Darla Givens, a spokesperson at Cal Expo, said the youth only suffered a small cut. Givens also added that police were called about a child attempting to steal items from fair vendors, climbing over a safety fence and almost being hit by a roller coaster ride.

Ahh, now we get clarity our little saint was trying to steal items from vendors, jumped over a safety fence, (those are usually about 6 feet high mind you) and almost was hit by a roller coaster. This coming from Cal Expo officials not the police mind you.

Of course, it didn’t stop local NAACP President Betty Williams from continuing a false narrative…

However, advocates like Betty Williams, who is the president of Greater Sacramento NAACP said that nothing excuses the behavior of Cal Expo officers toward the minor.
“What makes him different from any other 11-year-old? I’ll tell you what it is. He’s Black. He’s a Black man, a Black male. It doesn’t matter your age when it comes to this society and law enforcement. You are treated differently,” Williams said.

Sorry, officers taking down a person has nothing to do with whether they are black, brown, Asian, white, or any other color. Your son was acting a fool and so out of control officers were forced to take him to the ground. Sounds like his safety was at risk, I’ve never gotten so close to a roller coaster it almost hit me. He was trying to steal items…. he was being a punk and a thug.

Oh, check this out little thug’s parents were even there that day…

The family and attorney are also concerned about a document that they say Elijah was forced to sign without any family members present.
Cal Expo officials said that when their policies are violated, fairgoers are asked to not return and sign a document agreeing to such.

Sure, I guess the little thug wasn’t 18 yet, but regardless he will be perma banned from Cal Expo since he cannot follow basic rules, like don’t act like a criminal.

But what upsets me most here is this is the last paragraph of the article, buried at the end mind you…

KCRA 3 asked the family for photos of the injuries, but they refused to provide those. However, in photos that they sent to KCRA 3 last week, he had a bandage on one of his elbows and a visible blood stain on his shirt about the size of a nickel.

Hmm, the family won’t provide photos? That’s odd. His shirt was covered in blood I thought? I figured he was a disjointed mess? Beat up so bad his body would require multiple surgeries? Well, I guess this wasn’t Rodney King part 2 after all. Once again, it’s a sad story of a young thug causing trouble, not following orders who got the business from a police officer or two. I’m sorry but if you run, and it sounds like this thug did, they will be tackling/tasing/taking down you. The sad part is he seems to be a young man with no family in his life, who lets their 11-year-old go to the fair unsupervised? Sounds like zero family was around as they objected to him signing a form banning himself from the fairgrounds permanently. Maybe if parents were there this would have all been avoided?

Bottom line this is irresponsible journalism at its finest, notice how they make the incident sound like he was beaten within an inch or two of his life? Only to at the very bottom in essence refute that? Why do they get statements from the parents, NAACP, and others but ignore the police organization? This is because they can create a false narrative of “white police, black victim” when in reality it was a thug acting out, running away, and then being finally subdued. This is how false narratives of “hands up…. don’t shoot” get started.

The good news here for the family is they will likely get a 6-figure settlement, it’s what we do here in Sacramento, crime pays. Then the incident will go away.

Sad!
