That's a wingnut news site founded by Brent Bozell, a certifiable wingnut of the first order.

So, Mike is being his same old hard right and dishonest self. Thanks for the heads-up guys.

Bozell was an outspoken critic of Donald Trump during the 2016 Republican primaries, describing him as "the greatest charlatan of them all", "a “huckster” and “shameless self-promoter”. He said, "God help this country if this man were president." After Trump clinched the Republican nomination, Bozell attacked the media for their "hatred" of Trump.

Now, he is a full-blown Trumpster and goes on Fox News frequently ragging on media's coverage of the Dotard. He's a man of great principle.

More evidence there there's a lack of any interest in independent thought or debate. What a lefty hate factory you preside over here, Bob. You ought to be proud of yourself.

In the meantime, California's budget is showing a surplus only if you ignore the accumulating debt, much like Clinton did in the late 90's. The state is $83 billion in debt and wants to go even deeper. The debate under way in Cali right now isn't about how to pay down it's increasing debt, but how to "spend" the so-called surplus.

Bravo.

Did you even bother to read the article? That's all voter-approved bond debt, for things like schools, roads and water. Jerry, being very fiscally conservative, hasn't authorized the sale of a good portion of those bonds, until the projects are shovel ready, to keep the state's rating high, so that the bonds can be sold at low interest rates.

Basic economic responsibility, great leadership. Meanwhile, you support a moron like Trump, who relies on bankruptcy and Russian money. You're such an idiot.

Wow! I'm the Grand Poobah of "Lefty Hate", West Coast Division!
That's some wild shit you're smokin' there, Skip.

"More evidence there there's a lack of any interest in independent thought or debate."?

This coming from the Nunes of Political Chat?

As for debt, how it goes. Sell bonds to borrow, service the debt with tax revenues. Investors are happy and citizens are happy. Infrastructure improves, revenues increase. So where is the problem?

Of course one cannot borrow and concurrently reduce taxes unless you are the GOP.

Umbrage because we dissed CNS? Gosh, hope no one gets confused due to the name similarity with CNN...

Here's a look at the current top page of the site you claim is a worthy contributor to "independent thought and debate." Propaganda and pandering deluxe, I'd say. Like, do I diss you because you don't take delight in the Huff Post?

I really like the "What Trump is doing is nothing short of a miracle" one. And the 'promoting homosexuality' one seems to take the view that there's just a ton wrong with that....

Bozell is also a fervent Never Trumper, so you two should get along just fine.
