2016 Utah General Election Update: House District 9 Voters Have Two Distinct Options This November

Top notch advice! Don't Vote For The Peterson Wimp!

The Standard-Examiner has a very fine story in re our pending 2016 Utah General Election reporting, concerning Weber County's Legislative 9 race, via yeoman reporter Cathy McKitrick,  who writes today about House District 9,  a district which  has been so severely gerrymandered by our crackpot GOP legtislature, that it runs from middle Ogden, to Roy, and West Haven, as if to defy any attempt at common sense.He're's Ms McKitrick's most excellent story. Don't be pansies, people:

• House District 9 voters have two distinct options this November

Vote Out  the "Pansy"on the right!

Don't go for the pansy incumbent, either, people.

Vote instead for the smart and lovely Kathie Darby fer cripes-sake, because the incumbent, the wimpy Mr, Peterson, has to solely resort to pathetic and ridiculous  "I'm a Mormon"  slams with shameful innuendo, supporting his ridiculously weak candidacy.

• Kathie Darby for Utah House District 9

Fox News Shocks America & Admits Benghazi Investigation Was Complete Hoax

With our 2016 Presidential Election looming in a little more than 13 days, it gets weirder and weirder, dunnit?

Current Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton’s alleged wrongdoings have been all over the media. From her use of a private email server, to the Benghazi attacks, Clinton has made national news with headlines proclaiming she can’t be trusted, is a criminal, and needs to drop out of the race. Though there may be some truth behind the reports, even Fox News themselves have now reported the Benghazi scandal is a hoax.

Weber State looks for  gets 3rd straight win at tonight's homecoming against Portland State

Big doins in Ogden this evening, WSU Wildcats fans. Here's the Standard-Examiner lede, via Ace SE Sports Reporter Brandon Garside:

OGDEN — Fresh off a bye week, Weber State is geared up for homecoming Saturday night against Portland State.
The Wildcats (2-2) will go for their third-straight win of the season, a streak the purple and white haven’t achieved since 2010 in Ron McBride’s penultimate season.
The Vikings (2-3) are coming off a spectacular 2015 season that ended in the second round of the FCS Playoffs with a No. 6 national ranking. Now, PSU is 1-1 in conference play with a 45-20 win over Idaho State last week and a 45-31 loss to Southern Utah.
“We’ve got to be able to match their physicality. They’re tough. They’re not going to give up,” WSU head coach Jay Hill said. “They’re going to battle you to the bitter end so we’ve got to be ready to do the same things ourselves.

Read Mr. Garside's full story, Peeps:

Devastating New Ad Shows Trump Saying All the Things Dumb Mike Pence Claims He Never Said -Updated

Via political genius Rhonda Lea Nally (Certified Journalist):

Hay! You know, if you're going to say it on camera--when you know you are being recorded and people can go back and listen to it--you really ought to think about what you are saying or it can come back to haunt you.

Here's the proof, about which the lively Ms. Nally properly alludes:

• Devastating new ad shows Trump saying all the things Dumb Mike Pence claims he never said:

Check it out, Peeps!

Wake the hell up, my Republican friends...

Update 10/8/16: The pot sickens. Trump pretty much kills off his presidential ambitions, with an ill-timed, candid video:

• Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005

The Trump preidency is now "dead meat," we'll now predict.

Conservative Pundit: Donald Trump Is ‘God’s Anointed Choice For President’

Save this one to your "humor files" folder, Peeps:

"In a column today, far-right radio host Laurie Roth writes that "several people" 'have been awakened and given visions and words from God as to who would become President' and they were (additionally told by God) that, quoting again, 'all told that Donald Trump was God’s anointed choice for President.'

Roth reportedly wonders if God is using Trump to “conquer evil” and “build back a country that God loves,” citing a chapter of the Bible that she believes points to a Trump election victory.

Here's the Laurie Roth bloglink, Peeps (wethink):

• BlogWire: Get Ready – God will have mercy on America this election and make her God’s light on a hill again

“Pray for a Donald Trump victory and expect greatness,” she writes. “Don’t do this because Trump is mouthy and imperfect but because he will honor Israel, is a sincere and new Christian who prays to the living God, has exceptional ideas for leadership and who has been prepared for this job…perhaps even by God. I believe God has spoken. You vote accordingly.”

(Don't laugh, people. Many crazed right-wingers listen to Laurie Roth, we're told.) Even more crazed crackpot Mormons try daily to get Ms. Roth's telephone number, we're also duly informed.

So.  Are Republicans crazy enough for your tastes, as the 2016 election fast approaches?

Your Blogmeister's take? 2016 Republicans are total looniebirds.

So what say you, Weber County Forum political Wonks?

Standard-Examiner: Awaiting Public Defense Changes, Data Says Prosecutors Paid More Than Defense

One more reason being broke in Utah Totally Sucks!

Via Studebaker Legal Services PC:

County attorneys are involved to varying degrees in the selection of defense counsel, the negotiation of defense attorney compensation, and the oversight of defense counsel performance. Having county attorneys involved in right-to-counsel decisions means that the defender’s courtroom adversary is the one ultimately responsible for whether the defender gets the next appointment or contract.
This shows a clear conflict of interest in justice. In order for defendants to get the right to effective counsel, there must be an independent group overseeing and funding the indigent defense system. Without this independent group, lower class people will continue to be trampled on by the justice system.

The Standard is also all over this story. Read up, Peeps!

House District 29 Candidates Talk Gun Rrights, Legalized Medical Cannabis, More

Vote Angela Urrea, people!

Via Cathy McKitrick of the Standard-Examiner:

FARR WEST and PERRY — In Utah’s House District 29, Republican incumbent Lee Perry seeks a fourth two-year term, and Democrat Angela Urrea believes it’s time for fresh perspectives on Utah’s Capitol Hill.
“I’m trying to give people an alternative,” Urrea said. “Perry is a nice guy ... but I don’t agree with a lot of his positions.”
Her website, angelaforutah.com, points to a perceived disconnect between state lawmakers and the people they represent as the reason she decided to enter the political fray./blockquote
