The politicians in Sacramento are preparing to have a special meeting to raise gas taxes. (AGAIN!) They claim the high gas taxes Californians already pay aren't enough but they aren't telling you that out of $10 billion dedicated to "transportation" only $2 billion go to roads.

GOP Debate Highlights.
Ben Carson Debate Highlights - Amazing!
“Donald Trump is hitting a nerve in this country,” Kasich said. “People are frustrated, fed up. People who want to just tune [Trump] out are making a mistake.”

...But when another Fox moderator, Chris Wallace, tried to call Trump to task for calling some Mexicans who cross the border illegally “rapists” and drug dealers, Trump airily dismissed him.
“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even be talking about illegal immigration, Chris,” Trump said. “Our leaders are stupid, our politicians are stupid, and the Mexican government is much smarter, much sharper, much more cunning, and they send the bad ones over because they don’t want to pay for them.
“Why should they when the stupid leaders of the United States will do it for them? And that’s what’s happening whether you like it or not,” Trump said.
So now was the time for the other candidates to jump on Trump, right? Nope.
Wallace called on Ohio Gov. John Kasich. And Wallace got a shock.
“Donald Trump is hitting a nerve in this country,” Kasich said. “People are frustrated, fed up. People who want to just tune [Trump] out are making a mistake.”
“Gov. Rubio,” Wallace said to Marco Rubio, “let’s see if I can do better with you.”
But Rubio wouldn’t go along with Wallace’s attempt to start a Republican brawl, either.
“People are frustrated,” Rubio said. “We are the most generous country in the world when it comes to immigration. And people feel they are being taken advantage of.”
Scott Walker?
“I believe we need to secure the border,” Walker said....

In June, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law a one-time amnesty program for unpaid traffic and non-traffic infraction tickets, and the program will run through March 31, 2017.
Who is eligible: Those with unpaid tickets whose fines were due to be paid or who had a court date on or before Jan. 1, 2013.
Those who are now making payments on their tickets that were due both before and after Jan. 1, 2013 are eligible to have their driver’s license reinstated but are not eligible for a reduction in the amount owed, according to an announcement Thursday by Tulare County Superior Court.
All Superior Courts in California are participating in the amnesty program.

GREENFIELD: WHAT IF TRUMP WINS?
◼ Sometimes voters do break the rules. - Politico
Every political analyst, every political observer, every politician is absolutely sure that Donald Trump is not going to be the Republican nominee for president in 2016. And we’re all absolutely sure that Donald Trump is not going to be sworn in as president on January 20, 2017. Could we all be wrong?◼ Victory looks increasingly possible... - James Oliphant and Emily Flitter | Reuters
◼ Giuliani: 'We Might Have A Little Reagan Here'... - Real Clear Politics
"First of all, he's not a Roman candle," Giuliani told host Chris Matthews. "This is a very smart guy. This is a person who is media savvy in ways that some of the other candidates aren't. And he's a lot more substantive than you realize. I've know Donald 25 years. Meaning, he understands a lot of the world issues with a lot more depth than you probably realize."◼ TONIGHT: CENTER STAGE... - Washington Post
"So we might have a little of a Ronald Reagan here, a guy they underestimate," Giuliani observed. "And in my particular case, I'm personal friends with five or six of them. And I have a hard time deciding who I'd like to see be president and I'm probably going to take a little while. But I expect Donald Trump is going to do pretty darn well tomorrow night."
◼ GALLUP: Rubio, Walker Viewed Most Positively... - Gallup
◼ Can Jeb stand the heat? - Raf Sanchez, Washington/The Telegraph
The debate is a key test for Jeb Bush, who is trailing Mr Trump in the polls but will still be standing long after the hot air finally comes out of the Donald’s balloon.◼ GOP looks to narrow vast field... - AP
◼ Some Candidates Might Be On TV For Only 5 Minutes During Debate... - CBS Washington
◼ REPUBLICAN CIVIL WAR: BUSH SAYS TRUMP 'BAFFOON' A 'CLOWN' AN 'ASSHOLE' - Politico

On page 79 of the 119-page transcript of the fifth video released Tuesday by CMP, which is posted on YouTube, Farrell discusses how PPGC’s abortionists often ask her if she has any “projects” because “it seems like a waste to throw away this tissue.”
PP Farrell: “It’s very exciting, it’s one of those things that when we get together with staff upstairs, a lot of them on their way by: ‘Do you have any projects, it seems like a waste to throw away this tissue.’ I know. Everyone asks about it.”
Buyer: “It’s a natural fit, right?”
I know it’s sickening on some level, but it’s fun.”PP Farrell: “It would be exciting too if you needed it dissected, because LaShonda and I are the most Curious George of the group. I know it’s sickening on some level, but it’s fun.”
Buyer: “Now, let’s think about it.”

Rarely do American Presidents display the raw willfulness that President Obama did Monday in rolling out his plan to reorganize the economy in the name of climate change. Without a vote in Congress or even much public debate, Mr. Obama is using his last 18 months to dictate U.S. energy choices for the next 20 or 30 years. This abuse of power is regulation without representation.
States should refuse to comply with Obama’s lawless power rule.

— slone (@slone) August 4, 2015
Why did I miss Trump's appeal so badly? Simply put: I had NEVER EVER seen a reversal in how people perceive a candidate who is as well known as Trump -- much less a reversal in such a short period of time. I based my conclusion that Trump would never be a relevant player in the Republican primary fight on the ideas that once people 1) know you and 2) don't like you, you can't change those twin realities much.
That was 100 percent true. Until Donald Trump proved it (and me) wrong.
Point taken. Never say "never" in politics. Thanks for reminding me of that old adage, Donald.

New Hampshire Voters First Forum: 5 takeaways http://t.co/8ChdYkrAjS | Getty pic.twitter.com/R765A2lCoj
— POLITICO (@politico) August 4, 2015
The candidate forum that drew 14 Republican presidential candidates to New Hampshire Monday night served as a practice round ahead of the first official GOP primary debate in Cleveland — and a chance for the candidates unlikely to qualify for Thursday’s prime-time event to stand on equal footing with the front-runners.
The rapid-fire interviews with the candidates, appearing on stage for five minutes at a time, one after another over the course of two hours, allowed the contenders to stick to talking points and to avoid the full-contact confrontations that await them as debate season intensifies....
