He will run slightly to the right of Hillary, giving the Republican voters and alternative.
Watch Susan Sarandon's Full Speech and Procession For LSD Guru Timothy Leary At Burning Man
Last week, we posted an article about Susan Sarandon leading a funeral procession for the famed LSD scientist Timothy Leary at Burning Man. The ceremony included the scattering of Leary's ashes, which were bequeathed to Sarandon back in 1996 after Leary passed away. The whole service, including Sarandon's speech and procession to the Totem of Confessions, which was built on-site, were captured by Future Eyes TV.
As a fair warning, this video is NSFW, featuring a hearty helping of naked hippies in Black Rock Desert. All in all, this was quite the moving service. Check out the full footage below:

CA fires take landmark spa.....
http://harbin.org/Right now there are a number of fires going here in CA and this one is the Lake County fire. I also know a bunch of people in the Calaveras area who are evacuated right now.....
So sad. I've been there many times, but not enough really and love the place. Great energy there. Not a rich guy spa, but a spa for the rest of the world. It will be missed. Hope they can rebuild better than ever.
CA legislature passes medical marijuana regulations
Deal ends nearly two decades of deadlock
Marijuana would be considered an agricultural product
Local and state licenses would be required
By Christopher Cadelago and Jeremy B. White
ccadelago@sacbee.com
After years of false starts and nearly two decades after California legalized cannabis for medical purposes, lawmakers Friday sent Gov. Jerry Brown a legislative package to regulate the billion-dollar industry.
Medical marijuana would be newly defined as an agricultural product with rules for water use, discharge and pesticides, and would be tracked and tested through the process.
The trio of bills would allow for testing and labeling of edible marijuana, overseen by the Department of Public Health, and prevent environmental degradation like water diversion via the Department of Food and Agriculture, which would also manage cultivation.
Overseeing it all and tasked with handling transportation and distribution licenses would be a new Bureau of Medical Marijuana Regulation, housed within the Department of Consumer Affairs and headed by a director who would need to be confirmed by the Senate.
Everyone involved in the cannabis industry, from cultivators to dispensary owners, would need to receive two licenses: one from the state and one from their local city or county. By requiring a local license, the legislation would allow municipalities with bans or restrictions to keep them in place. They also could put before voters taxes on cultivation and retail, in addition to the sales taxes on marijuana, and could designate fees to recoup regulation costs.
Many people with past felony convictions could not get a license unless they have obtained a certificate of rehabilitation, a provision sure to frustrate advocates who argue such a prohibition falls heavily on minority communities.
The deal does not include a excise tax for environmental cleanup and public safety because that would have required a two-thirds vote.

Police Shoot Man For Recording Them With Phone, Claim They Feared
This is close to where I live and deal with Rancho Cordova all the time. it is about 10 miles east of Sacramento along the Highway 50 corridor. Long known as a place with a large minority population.
The Sacramento sheriff’s deputies shot Danny Sanchez on Friday. Sanchez is currently in the hospital at the UC Davis Medical Center, where he underwent surgery to remove bullet fragments, according to his father, John Sanchez.
The shooting occurred when the Sheriff’s department SWAT team showed up to arrest a neighbor, Ben Ledford, 62, after he fired off an illegal machine gun across the street.
When Sanchez saw the incident, and the SWAT team converge, he began recording from his garage. He assumed there wouldn’t be any problem, since he was so far away from the incident, on his own property and even out on the edge of the garage.
Police say that Sanchez was extending his arm with “an object” in his hand. That “object” was a cellphone, Sanchez’s father John “Sonny” Sanchez said. His son was simply trying to videotape the arrest of Ledford. That’s when police opened fire on him.
“He was yelling, ‘Dad I’m shot, I’m shot,’ so I grabbed him inside and closed the garage door. I put a tourniquet around his leg and a clean towel,” John Sanchez explained.

He pointed out four additional bullet holes in his garage as well as several more in his car.
The same police force killed a guy here too for no reason....(If machetes were illegal then every head shop in the US would be out of business....)

Kansas Mathematician: State’s Voting Machines Are Rigging Elections, Need Audit
A Wichita State University mathematician is calling for the voting machines in Kansas to be audited after noticing odd patterns in electronic returns. This should be an easy request to fulfill for a system that should have nothing to hide, but government officials have been reluctant and elusive in revealing public documents to satisfy this concern.
Beth Clarkson is a certified quality engineer with a doctorate in statistics. She is also the chief statistician for WSU’s National Institute for Aviation Research. While making calculations after the November election, Clarkson revealed that there were enough patterns to raise suspicion that “some voting systems are being sabotaged.” Clarkson said that the patterns indicate “a statistically significant” pattern where the percentage of Republican votes increase according to how large a precinct is – even in areas where other demographics suggest differently. Clarkson said:
“This is not just an anomaly that occurred in one place. It is a pattern that has occurred repeatedly in elections across the United States. I do not know why this trend is there, but I know that the pattern is there and one way to establish that it is or is not election fraud is to go and do a physical audit of paper records of voting machines.”
Clarkson believes that having the paper records will help her check the error rate on the voting machines in Sedgwick County and allow her to establish a statistical model.

The county’s behavior toward Clarkson’s suspicions might indicate that she’s right. So far Clarkson has been put off, with Sedgwick County election officials refusing to allow the computer records to be included in a recount. The officials even told Clarkson that if she wanted to get documentation of the votes, she would have to take them to court – so she did. Clarkson filed a lawsuit against against the Sedgwick County Election Office and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach in February to get to the bottom of this issue, requesting access to the paper records of the voting machines. On these records, only the votes are counted – the voter is left anonymous.

Report: Trump's Dad Was Arrested In 1927 Ku Klux Klan Brawl With Police
A newly surfaced report from a 1927 edition of the New York Times suggests Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump's late father may have had a connection to the Ku Klux Klan.
A man named Fred Trump was among those arrested in a massive brawl between KKK members and police at a 1927 Memorial Day parade in New York City, according to a contemporaneous Times article surfaced Wednesday by the blog Boing Boing.
The Times article listed the arrestee's address as 175-24 Devonshire Road in Jamaica Estates, Queens. Past local news reports noted that the Republican presidential frontrunner's father (pictured above, third from the left) lived at that address. Donald Trump's German immigrant grandfather, who anglicized his own name to Fred Trump, died nine years before the incident occurred.
While six other men arrested in the brawl faced charges, the Times report noted that Fred Trump was discharged. All seven of the men who were arrested were represented by the same team of two lawyers, according to the Times report.
The Times reported that police said the brawl broke out because the Klan reneged on an agreement not to wear any of their symbols to the parade. The Klan members, for their part, accused the police of exceeding their authority in trying to keep them out of the parade, according to the report.
