California Republicans hit rock bottom

The state that spawned the "Reagan Revolution’’ and Richard M. Nixon just experienced a watershed moment — the California Republican Party was officially relegated to third-party status.

In the culmination of the withered state GOP’s long slide toward near-political irrelevance here, new voter registration data released this week show the once-robust party trails behind both Democrats and “no party preference” in the nation's most populous state. The California Republican Party is now outnumbered by independent voters by 73,000, according to Political Data Inc., which tabulates voter file data from county registrars.

Another incredible rally in Nashville last night. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with me. Oh do we love Nashville, do we love Tennessee? We love Tennessee! The great state of Tennessee, it's a great state.

What a crowd. A big crowd of people. A lot of people, I mean a lot of people. With bad weather and bad everything and they're still coming in. The Failing and Corrupt @nytimes estimated the crowd last night at “1000 people,” when in fact it was many times that number -- and the arena was rockin’. This is the way they demean and disparage. They are very dishonest people who don’t “get” me, and never did!

USA Today said I'm unfit to shine the shoes of George W. Bush. Thousands and thousands of folks don't agree. THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS!!!! They came to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of Donald J. Trump. And for some fabulous music, I want to thank @TraceAdkins, he was incredible! And you know, Trace won The Apprentice. Trace is a winner. Fantastic. Tennessee is the heart of American music -- and I mean incredible music, I love country music -- and culture. I'm from New York City, country music is very special there. And it's a very rare thing there.

The lying press, the Fake News MSM, said I could never get to 270 votes. We all kept hearing, he can't get to 270, remember you need 270, electoral college. There is no way to 270. And they were right, 306. There is no way to 270. And many people said I couldn't get to it. But I got 306, it was a LANDSLIDE. The biggest Electoral College win since Barack Obama. More than George W. Bush, more than Jimmy Carter. Possibly the biggest since George Washington. We have pride in our history. Should have been 306 votes, came out as 304, we had 2 of what they call "faithless electors." I call it TREASON. Can we call it treason? We can. And I think we can. But, thank God for the Electoral College. Trust me, we're going to have a GIANT RED TIDE, or WAVE, in November. Red spilling, splashing & flowing everywhere, folks. Believe me, it's going to be so beautiful.

You know, people are saying that we made certain promises. And I'm the only politician -- can you imagine, the word "politician," I never thought that was going to happen. I don't even like it. But I'm the only politician that produced more than I said I was going to produce. And we're only one and a half years in. There has never been an administration -- and even some of our enemies are begrudgingly admitting this -- that has done what we’ve done in the first year and a half. Think of it.

We've created 3.3 million jobs in the 18 months since Election Day. Now, if we would've said that before the election, that I'm going to create 3.3 million new jobs, we would never have survived the onslaught from the Fake News. They would not have accepted that, they wouldn't accept it. They would've said there's no way you can do that. It would have been an onslaught like you've never seen in your life. In your entire life. So I couldn't promise that one. African American unemployment is at its lowest level since the Civil War.

Wages going up! What can I say, they're just going up, folks. And they're going up fast. The forgotten men & women of this Country are no longer forgotten. They're forgotten no more. No more! For the first time in many many years, for the first time since the Civil War -- terrible war, big mistake. Because of me. Because I signed the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. I want it to be called the Tax Cut Cut Cut Cut Plan. Great signature, I'm very proud of that one. Because it's putting money back in the pockets of our great corporations. And they can give that money out in bonuses. Or MUCH HIGHER WAGES. If they feel like it. So important, if they feel like it. Not because we tell them to (minimum wage). It's called FREEDOM, folks.

Crooked Hillary. Can we say LOCK HER UP? Big big applause for that one, folks!!
And I asked, "how do you like the fact Obama's crooked FBI had people infiltrating our campaign? Can you imagine, can you imagine, can you imagine people infiltrating our campaign? Is there anybody in this big beautiful arena right now that’s infiltrating our campaign? Would you please raise your hand? That would take courage, huh?"

Phil whatever the hell his name is. Who the hell is he? He's an absolute tool of Chuck Schumer and the MS-13 lover, Nancy Pelosi. She loves MS-13, can you imagine? Remember? I said they're animals and she said, "how dare you say that? How dare you say that?" Have you seen what they've done? Hae you seen what they're doing to us? The MS-13 animals -- they call it a gang, I call it animals, and the HUGE CROWD in Nashville calls them animals -- we’re taking them out of our country by the thousands. Out, out, by the thousands. But Nancy hates it. I call her the MS-13 lover. She loves MS-13, can you imagine? She loves the bad boys, she loves the ones with the tattoos. The rapists. We call it rape, she likes it. So Philbert was recruited by Schumer to run for the Senate. He had to get Pelosi's approval, can you believe this? And if Bredesen were ever to get elected, he'd do whatever Chuck & Nancy -- remember the term, Chuck & Nancy -- they don't want the Wall, they want open borders, they're more interested in taking care of criminals than they are in taking care of you. Bredesen donated to the campaigns of Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton.
Crooked Hillary. Can we say LOCK HER UP? Big big applause for that one, folks!!

Now look, you take a look at what's going on. Never in the history of our country has something taken place like took place during this election. In all fairness, I'm no fan of crazy Bernie Sanders. I'm no fan. But I want to tell you, he got screwed. He did, he did. Crazy Bernie. He still doesn't know what happened. No, he doesn't know. I saw him on television. "I don't know what happened!" Me too, I thought he was winning. He got schlonged by Crooked Hillary. But it helped me because we were very very cautious and we WORKED HARD. Many many speeches a day, that last month of campaigning. And some of the polls got it right. But I'll tell you what, I'd see the crowds, huge crowds, I'd go one to another to another to another all over the Country. She'd go there. The only way she filled up the arena was to get Jay-Z. And his language was so filthy that it made me like the most clean-cut human being on Earth. It's true. You're thinking, what about the hair. And that's so true. I get up, take a shower and wash my hair. Then I read the newspapers and watch the news on television, and slowly the hair dries. It takes about an hour. I don’t use the blow dryer. Once it’s dry I comb it. Once I have it the way I like it -- even though nobody else likes it -- I spray it and it’s good for the day. Jay-Z, he'dd stand up there before those crowds. And, by the way, WITHOUT ANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. Can you imagine? I had much bigger crowds than he was drawing. But he'd stand up before those crowds and he'd use the "F" word. And Hillary would sit back, "oy vey, oh I'm in trouble. I'm in trouble! Oy, please, don't have him use that kind of language any more." And then he'd finish and everybody would leave and she'd be standing up making a speech to 400 people.

Phil Bredesen supported her. He supported her ideas. Border Wall. We have already started doing it. In the end, in the end, Mexico is going to pay for the wall. I'm just telling you that. They are going to pay for the wall and they are going to enjoy it. OK? They are going to enjoy it. @EPN if you're listening, we're building the Wall and you're going to pay for it. And you'll love paying for it.

We also, by the way, we got $6 billion for opioid and getting rid of that scourge that's taking over our Country. You go to the hospital. You have a broken arm. You come out, you are a drug addict with this crap. Congratulations, you're a drug addict! It's way down. We're doing a good job with it. But we got $6 billion to help us with opioid.

So, if you want strong borders, and again, we've started that Wall, we have $1.6 billion for the Wall. We've started the Wall. And in San Diego they came to us. They wanted the wall in California. And you've heard the story. I said, don't give it to 'em, because we lose a lot of energy. They wanted it so badly. They got tired of illegal immigrants walking across their front lawn. Can you understand that? Isn't that terrible that they got tired. Why shouldn't they want people walking through their living room? Why? Then they said, go ahead and build it. We got a good price. Then I had second thoughts because Governor Moonbeam of California, who loves sanctuary cities -- and other things -- so he didn't want Wall. But they're putting so much pressure so I decided that, then, in the middle of doing it, it's beautiful, it's big, nobody's crossing it very easily. So what happened is, in the middle I sorta had second thoughts. You ever have second thoughts. I said, you know, LET'S STOP BUILDING THE WALL. Because we get more pressure put on this crazy governor. Where the taxes are high, and the crime is high. Crime infested & breeding. Other than that he's doing a fantastic job, OK? In California.

I have property in California that I don't care about any more. Trump National Golf Club, best course in Los Angeles, or of Los Angeles. When I bought it, it was sliding into the ocean. Like so much of California. And I stopped it from sliding. But you know what? Let it slide. Let it slide.

Democrats running for office, many of them are saying great things about me. Conor Lamb, you know? And many many others.

We almost had universal healthcare. We were doing the Repeal & Replace of Obamacare. Which has been a DISASTER for our Country. And then early in the morning, somebody turned their hand in the wrong direction. hat cost us a lot, and nobody knew that was going to happen, because we had it done. And the person who voted that way, only talked Repeal & Replace! That cost our country a lot. And it cost him a lot, he's got Cancer of the Brain. Can we say Cancer Brain McCain?

And I brought in James Bolton, he's TERRIFIC. They think he is so nasty and so tough that I have to hold him back. OK? Pretty great.

Bush -- $7 trillion in the Middle East. Great. Great. Great investment. A lot of death. Death and blood and money. Horrible!

And finally Marsha, the next United States Senator from the great state of Tennessee. A VERY VERY EARLY supporter of ours and a lovely woman. She loves her state, she loves her Country and she's going to win. Because of me. Because of me, folks. And America is winning. We truly are Making America Great Again. And our Country is respected again all over the world. We're respected again as a Country. No more apologies. But to KEEP IT UP, to keep this momentum going, to keep on winning, you have to vote Republican in November. youtu.be/baoGlM1-drI

Not because I had to get up early but because I woke up hours before my alarm yet could not get back to sleep.

So I got to work real early.

A little over a month ago I kicked coffee cold-turkey. For a month I had really bad headaches, for two weeks I had really bad nausea.

Thursday of last week my witch doctor advised me to start drinking coffee again: "You don't have to tell me twice".

This because I often experience great weariness despite being well-resulted.

I just signed a one-year lease for a permanent - that is, personal, just for me - desk at a downtown Portland co-working facility.

Co-working is all the rage these days. We Work and this one other I happened upon are likely venture funded but the privately-held Nedspace is far better than we work.

It's on the eleventh floor of the Union Bank tower on Broadway - the main drag through downtown. I learned the hard way that I have yet to overcome my fear of heights. Not wanting to make my fear worse I carefully, very slowly reached my hand out then touched the lobby window yet remained unconvinced that its glass was really there.

I'll even have a receptionist.

Folks, it's a very sad day for our television industry. Used to be great, it's not great anymore. It's overrun by Political Correctness. @therealroseanne tweeted a couple of things that maybe, probably, aren't politically correct. About Dem billionaire George Soros & about one of Obama's people. And ABC -- the founders of Fake News @ABC -- canceled her show. That one was the best show on TV. Except for my amazing State of the Union address, HUGE RATINGS MONSTER because that one has me. Next episode in January. Or possibly Feb. TBD.

Let me tell you, this is the DARKEST day for television since my friend @Schwarzenegger took over Celebrity Apprentice. That had been the best and highest rated show. Because of me. And now it's a nothing. Arnold lifts. And he kills. Those are his talents. NBC lifted him to the top, not a smart move. Because he killed that show. But what they did to Roseanne is DISGRACEFUL!!

Take a swig of cockroach milk, the next great food trend

Roach crystal juice seems like something the Gates Foundation would promote.

If you want to live in space, you're going to learn to love roaches.

If you want to live on Earth as a non-(m|b|tr)illionaire, you're going to learn to love roaches.

If it's too difficult to extract the milk, you can simply eat the roach whole.

I'm proclaiming today #MemorialDay Very special day to honor those who died for our great country. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/Iohcuhi4dQ And a great day to shop on my website!! donaldjtrump.com

Before you howl with too much laughter, please understand that I feel far more comfortable writing device drivers than web applications.

I just now finished listing all ninety locations for Synopsis:

• Find a Computer Job in Enschede, The Netherlands

The first thing I want to do to automate this is to list a company on
just one page, with a form for all of its locations, then have a
computer program propagate those listings to all the local pages.

This has the complication that many of those local pages won't exit
yet; for example I created the page for Enschede as I was working on
Synopsis' listings in Holland.

But a good start would be to only propagate the listings to pages that
already exist, with manual work required to create the new local
pages.

This because I have to look up the state or province and possibly the
county for almost all over the new localities. I also have to create
folders for them. From time to time I even list an entirely new
country.

While I do plan to use some manner of database by the time I'm done, I don't plan on specifying its schema myself - I'd hire a DBA to do that. I've never really understood why so many people are so into SQL. If I did use SQL I would use PostgrSQL but most likely I won't use SQL.

I'm going to do all the automation in Python, for the simple reason
that I'm already good at coding Python. There are many web
application technologies, each with their own strengths and
weaknesses. I'm not religious about them.

I now have lots of free time to devote to The Global Computer Industry Index.

My friend Stefan Youngs asked me to volunteer for Aircrew Remembered but I've never really had the headspace for it until just tonight.

I'll tell you the bad news right after I hurl my thousand-dollar iPhone 7 in the Columbia River.
