Close to my home! Large tree falls onto CHP patrol car in Calaveras County
CALAVERAS COUNTY – A California Highway Patrol officer escaped injury after a large tree fell on his patrol car early Wednesday morning.
The incident happened as the officer was working the Highway 4 road closure near Brice Station.
CHP says the officer had just stepped out of his patrol car when the tree fell right on top of it.
To take a pee maybe? 🙂

According to the Atlanta Police Department, a group of “agitators” left South River Music Festival around 5:30 p.m. and went to the construction site “to conduct a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers.”
Authorities stated that the group changed into black clothing and began to throw commercial-grade fireworks, Molotov cocktails, large rocks and bricks at police officers. STORY HERE

So this years Ducks Unlimited tournament in Las Vegas is in he books. The squad from left to right was Jonathan Wise, Steve Burson, me, Ron Bourque, and Eric Swager. As you can see there is snow on the mountains behind us, as always it was windy and there were the usual things to make you uncomfortable. This year I showed marked improvement over the last several years and placed in the middle of 3 of the games I shot and did NOT place DFL in any game. In the main I wasn’t last, or next to it, but I could clearly see it from where I placed….still an improvement! The targets were well set and it really was a fun event.
Leroy, concerning the 175 year SJPD anniversary commemorative Glock, some of your readers might find this info useful. For those living in California, the gun can only be purchased by actively employed law enforcement personnel. Retirees do not qualify for the purchase because of California gun laws. I emailed LC Action (sales@lcaction.com) and discovered that those of us living outside California can buy the gun. The purchaser’s state would have to allow buying and owning the gun…which my state of Arizona does. The buyer will have to contact a local dealer in their state with a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and have that license information sent to LC Action. LC Action will then, when the guns are available, ship the gun to the FFL holder who will in turn process the sale and deliver the gun to the buyer.

Defiant Ukrainians face Russian invasion
A rescue worker puts out the fire of a destroyed gas distribution point at the residential neighborhood after Russian attack in Kostiantynivka, Ukraine, Monday, March 6, 2023. Ukrainian servicemen carry the coffin of Volodymyr Hurieiev, a fellow soldier killed in the Bakhmut area, during the funeral in Boryspil, Ukraine, Saturday, March 4, 2023. Pressure from Russian forces mounted Saturday on Ukrainians hunkered down in Bakhmut, as residents attempted to flee with help from troops who Western analysts say may be preparing to withdraw from the key eastern stronghold. Anna Levchenko, 81, kisses the picture of her grandson Andrii Matviichuk, during a gathering to mark the first anniversary of the death of eight men killed by Russian forces in Bucha, Ukraine, Saturday, March 4, 2023. The eight had set up a roadblock on a road in the town in an attempt to prevent Russian troops from advancing, as they swept toward the Ukrainian capital at the start of their invasion.

Court Forces USA Powerlifting to Allow Biological Men to Compete as Women
USA Powerlifting is being forced to allow biological men who claim to be women to compete against natural-born women after a transgender contestant launched a nearly five-year campaign demanding to be allowed to compete in the women’s category.
Trans weightlifter JayCee Cooper began sending demanding letters and suing the sport starting in 2019 after the sports authority denied his bid to compete as a woman. Ultimately, Cooper filed a lawsuit in state court in 2021 and won against the organization based on a Minnesota state anti-discrimination law that maintains he can compete under his “chosen gender.” Story HERE
How I get to work on Monday after a long weekend partying!
GLOBAL WARMING…..RIGHT!
SPEAKING OF INFLATION……THIS IS SO TRUE!
This is an old one, but I still think it makes a lot of sense.
“IF YOU CAN’T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU’VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.”
WRITTEN BY A 21 YEAR OLD FEMALE.
Wow, this girl has a great plan! Love the last thing she would do the best.
This was written by a 21 yr. old female who gets it. It’s her future she’s worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she’s being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion.
This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX.
PUT ME IN CHARGE . .
Put me in charge of food stamps no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22-inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good.”
Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self-esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self-esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
I love this one….
AND while you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.
Now, if you have the guts – PASS IT ON…I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET THIS BACK, IF EVERYONE SENDS IT, I WILL GET OVER 220 BACK!!! I WOULD KNOW YOU SENT IT ON!!!
Isn’t it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people…… but our benefits don’t?

UTAH IS STEALING IDEA FROM ANGELS CAMP! VIEW JUMPING FROG INFO HERE
“The Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee is one of the longest running events in the State of California. Its earliest roots date back to 1893, held that year in Copperopolis.
“The fair eventually found a permanent home outside of Angels Camp.
“In the spirit of the old movie classic ‘State Fair,’ the Calaveras County Fair is a blend of entertainment, exhibits, livestock, arena events, great food and our signature event, the International Frog Jump.
“This piece of Americana will have you Leaping to return year after year.
“The Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee is held the 3rd weekend every May.
“The Jubilee starts with a children’s parade in downtown Angels Camp and ends with a Destruction Derby on Sunday evening.
“Today, few events illustrate the gold rush era, as well as the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee. Every May the entire community celebrates its history and its future.
“The tradition of county residents showing off their best still holds true today. The Calaveras County Fair has as many as 7,000 exhibits. The junior livestock auction generated over $350,000 for the county’s youth.
“The Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee has grown to an event with more than 45,000 attendees.”
Instead, he blundered into the office and wrecked the country.
He is like the guy on a Boeing 747 high over the Atlantic Ocean who breaks into the cockpit and says, “I can fly this thing.”
“You don’t have to, Joe,” the pilot says, “It’s on autopilot. It flies itself. You know, computers.”
Undeterred, Joe presses buttons and flips switches. The plane goes into a nosedive.
Which is where we are today. You don’t put a guy like this in control.
He is President Doom. Everything he touches goes bad.
And nothing is his fault.
He took an energy-independent country and turned it into a nation begging Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil. Gasoline prices hit the roof and inflation soared. But it is not his fault.
He forgot how he preened on Day One of his presidency, launching his war on domestic produced energy in favor of his Green Dream of a fossil fuel free world.
Biden, John Kerry, his climate change czar, and the progressives would have you believe that the world will come to an end unless their anti-fossil fuel agenda adopted.
Yes, the world may come to an end. But the chances are the end will come sooner from the unleashing of nuclear weapons then it will come from the use of fossil fuels.
But you do not hear politicians like Biden or Kerry talk much about doing away with nuclear weapons. On the contrary. Biden is reopening nuclear negotiations with Iran which will eventually lead to the Iranians having a nuclear bomb.
This is the country where its religious fanatics have promised to use its first nuclear weapon on Israel and the second on the United States.
If I were to bet, I would wager on the world ending in a nuclear bang before closing out in a fossil fuel whimper.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world keeps pumping away, and the American people suffer. But it is not Biden’s fault. It is Vladimir Putin and his war in Ukraine who is to blame, not Joe Biden.
Joe Biden took a working and strict border policy left to him by Donald Trump and turned it into a humanitarian disaster. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from countries around the world are pouring into the United States and nobody is stopping them. And many of them are dying along the way.
Bidens’s decision to do away with border enforcement has also greatly facilitated the smuggling tons of drugs into the county, including deadly fentanyl from China that is killing many unsuspecting Americans.
But that is not his fault either. It was Trump’s racist border policy that caused all the problems. Besides, he assigned Kamala Harris to get to the root of the problem.
Biden also authored the ill-conceived and humiliating pullout from Afghanistan, causing the unnecessary death of 13 Americans at the chaotic Kabul airport, leaving hundreds of Americans, abandoning thousands of Afghan allies, and throwing he country into the chaotic hands of the Taliban.
Naturally, he blamed Trump, which nobody bought.
The next thing you know Joe Biden will be blaming Putin for the Supreme Court’s decision to send the abortion issue back to the states. Putin somehow must have gotten Trump to appoint three conservatives to the court in order to roil the country.
According to Biden, the “one thing” that has destabilized the country under his leadership has not been soaring gasoline prices, inflation, the open border, the shameful retreat in Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine, the frightening rising crime rate or the pandemic, but “the outrageous behavior” of the Supreme Court on the abortion issue.
The court did not destabilize the country. Joe Biden did.
This man does not belong in the cockpit.
