HuffPost story: "WASHINGTON -- Regardless of whether Republicans succeed in
cutting food stamps this year, the 22 million American households relying on the
program will see their benefits drop in November. * The looming reduction has
received little attention since lawmakers set it in motion years ago. * "This
cut will be the equivalent of taking away 14 meals per month for a family of
four, or 11 meals for a family of three," Dean and Rosenbaum wrote in a May
report. * The cut is set to kick in because a 13 percent benefit boost from the
2009 stimulus bill is expiring. Initially, the plan was to let inflation catch
up with the increase so that SNAP recipients would never see a month-to-month
dollar decline. But in 2010, Senate Democrats and the Obama administration
needed money to offset the cost of a series of spending bills. They said at the
time they would replace the money later, but they never did.
* HuffPost readers: What's it like living on food stamps? Tell us about
it -- email arthur@huffingtonpost.com. Please
include your phone number if you're willing to be interviewed. -- Huh?
Republicans are being "blamed" for a maneuver orchestrated by Judas 00-bama and
DUMBERat super-majority House and Senate? This was not an unkept typical
DUMBERat campaign promise, but one the sitting DUMBERat Administration and
Congress spelled out to the mainstream media in exchange for support.

HuffPost story: "President Barack Obama told CBS News' Scott Pelley Tuesday
that he cannot guarantee that Social Security checks will go out as planned if
Democrats and Republicans fail to reach a deal to raise the debt ceiling by
August 2. * "I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3 if we
haven't resolved this issue, because there may simply not be the money in the
coffers to do it," Obama said in an interview on the CBS Evening News Tuesday
evening. * "This is not just a matter of Social Security checks," Obama said.
"These are veterans checks, these are folks on disability and their checks.
There are about 70 million checks that go out." -- Hey, Judas... that's not your
money to begin with so if you've wasted it elsewhere, put it back into "the
lockbox" Algore claims.

Judas 00-bama says the debt ceiling needs to be raised before "he' sends us our Social Security and Veterans pension checks. Wait a minute... Jack Lew was on Fox Sunday patting 00-bama on the back for his national debt reductions, so why are 'we' hitting the ceiling again?

Hmmm, excerpts from a People Magazine article reveal that Weiner got back in Huma's good graces by doing laundry for her. Hmmm... tell us something new... Weiner is a wiener.

For all practical intents, Weiner is gone... the Clintons sent David Axelrod on tour yesterday, and he's the 'go to' when damage control is needed.

Online story: "Bill and Hillary Clinton are angry with efforts by mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner and his campaign to compare his Internet sexcapades — and his wife Huma Abedin’s incredible forgiveness — to the Clintons’ notorious White House saga * The Clintons are pissed off that Weiner’s campaign is saying that Huma is just like Hillary,’’ said the source. “How dare they compare Huma with Hillary? Hillary was the first lady. Hillary was a senator. She was secretary of state.” -- Does Hillary think the Internet deletes it's 'history' or there are no mainstream media videos of her CBS interview? Does Hillary forget she HIRED?MENTORED Huma Abedin?
---
The 2016 campaign for Hillary is about to get 'jump started' on NBC. NBC says it's going to do a fictitious (surely NBC can't say it's "reality" show) mini-series on her. Wanna take bets Monica Lewinsky and Chris Stevens won't be mentioned... Or "Whitewater", or Gennifer, or Hillary-care, or Vince Foster, or....

McClatchy story: "WASHINGTON — New Zealand’s defense minister said Monday that an investigation is underway into a report that U.S. intelligence agencies helped his nation’s military track the mobile telephone calls of a freelance journalist while he worked for McClatchy Newspapers in Afghanistan. -- Hmmm, what you gonna do McClatchy... keep on ignoring the facts?

Online story: "Barack Hussein Obama had served 14-State Governors in the United States, National Security Letters (NSLs) warning that the Governor’s actions in attempting to form “State Defense Forces” needs to be halted “immediately” or they will face arrest for the crime of treason." -- Hmmm, after betting there are no DUMBERats within this group, the next bet will be whether or not Judas 00-bama kisses them on the cheek for ID purposes. Has anyone in the mainstream media thought about the personal army 00-bama is trying to build within Homeland Security?

With the recent explosive story concerning possible improprieties of a Columbus Regional purchase of a cancer center, was it prudent for Columbus Regional to be involved in another purchase of an undisclosed amount?

L-E story of new Superintendent's talk with new teachers: ""Our teacher retention rate is 91-93 percent each year, which for a transient town like Columbus, with Fort Benning, is wonderful," Nolan said. "The state average is 86 percent." -- What's wrong with this picture? Everything! With test scores below the state average, why is the MCSD not having a "V-8" moment! A higher teacher retention rate should translate into higher scores... unless... too many of the teachers are below state averages.

Online story: "GENEVA At least 35 people were injured, five of them seriously, in a head-on collision of two trains in western Switzerland late Monday, police said." -- Hmmm, Mayor Obamalinson, are you listening; train wrecks galore, are you listening...or are we walking in a sinter wonderland?

Why are Republican Congressmen posturing about funding or not funding ObamaCare based on JudS 00-bama's orders to delay select implementation? Boehner should simply file a suit with the U S Supreme Court based on 00-bama usurping the law illegally? Congress passed it, the President signed it, and it's a law that neither Congress nor the President is authorized to change it by itself..

L-E's " Thought for Today": “You can’t
build a reputation on what you are going to do.” — Henry Ford, American auto
manufacturer (1863-1947)." -- Obviously, Judas 00-bama and the DUMBERats, and
the City of Detroit weren't keeping their 'eye on the ball'.

Just reading the list of people involved
in the current court case going on here in Columbus, it seems that even the
defense lawyer needs to be incarcerated.

Dick McMichael's letter asked why the state of GA was spending more on
prisons and football stadiums than public education... well, Dick, it's probably
a matter of putting good money into successful programs.
