How many have to die before this is declared a Civil War? Think it’s not a Civil War? What would you call it? There’s a fatal epidemic of domestic terrorism, white nationalists, white supremacists, shooting up the U.S. Just this week, they targeted Dayton, Ohio; El Paso, Texas; and Gilroy, California. How many have died at the hands of white nationalists?

We have #notmyPresident who has declared himself a “nationalist,” openly, publicly, and repeatedly, inciting fear, hate and violence, encouraging and inflaming fearful and insecure white males to use the U.S. as their shooting gallery, to use people as their targets. tRump is directly and overtly inciting violence against immigrants and anyone who isn’t white. He is using Executive Orders, administrative and criminal process, and jails as weapons.

Even Newsweek draws the parallel between tRump and violence:

Trump Administration Is ‘Facilitating and Enabling’ Youth to Commit ‘Terrorism,’ Ex-FBI Official Says After El Paso Shooting

[Legalectric comment — it is NOT “youth,” it’s open, public agitating and inciting, not age specific.]

“He’s the father figure, he’s giving the license, he’s facilitating and enabling. What we need is the similar figure — the President — to come out immediately, once this is confirmed, and say, ‘I stand for something other than hate, I rebuke all the hatred going on here,'” he continued. “Until we see the figure do that, that’s giving the license, we’ll continue to have this hate problem.”

“His writing is filled with hatred,” Figliuzzi noted, referring to the manifesto, “he calls Mexicans and others invaders, he thinks they are taking jobs from people. He thinks it’s up to him to take action. We need to understand that.”

“About half the FBI’s terrorism cases right now, as we speak, are actually this stuff, the domestic stuff,” he added. “That is extremely disturbing.”

This is not new. tRump was inciting during the campaign, and many people who voted for him wanted this. There’s a heightened responsibility on all who voted for him to deal with this, to fix it. No excuses. And for all the rest of us, it’s our job too.

He told us he was a snake. You knew, we knew, he was a snake. Poisonous. tRump must go. Resign… Impeach… one way or another, he must go.

There’s a “Construction Information Session” happening Thursday, August 22, 2019 in Northwood, Iowa. Plenty of time to prepare!

Association of Freeborn County Landowners has appealed the Order of the Public Utilities Commission from its April Fools Day meeting:

And our filings with the Appellate Court:

It’s off to the races…

The Minnesota Supreme Court has denied Scarsella’s petition to the Supreme Court. GOOD!

MPR: Scarsella gets 15 years for shooting at Jamar Clark protest

I vividly remember seeing that video, it was out there prior to the shooting, and waiting for the 4th Precinct demonstration to explode at the hands of these yahoos. Yes, Scarsella got what he went there for, incited a “justification” for his opening fire. He said what he was going to do, and he did it. The only good news is that he got a 15 year sentence. His appeal, and trying to get to the MN Supreme Court shows his convictions.

The Minnesota Department of Commerce issued the Draft EIS for the Dodge County wind project, and about the “C” and “D” route proposals for a 345kV line through the heart of Dodge Center, they had this to say:

Here’s the full DEIS Narrative:

This is an example of why it’s crucial to get involved early, that comments must be made at the outset before they have moved into evaluating a proposed route, so that they can consider the input of people on the ground in the initial evaluation. Here, at least 14 people weighed in on the impacts of the C and D routes on their homes and their lives, and that message was heard.

Now’s the time for the City of Dodge Center to acknowledge that it was Tom Applegate’s efforts, alerting the City of Dodge Center and the residents effected by this project’s Route C and D possibility, helping generate the many comments that were filed, that made Commerce’s rejection of these routes a reality.

And I sure hope Commissioner Tuma acknowledges what a bad idea routes C and D were and that next time he has a routing idea, that he commits to spend at least an hour on google earth along the route to know what he’s proposing. These two proposed routes were the worst I’ve seen for a 345kV line.
