Online story: "SAN FRANCISCO — The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday paved the way for the early release of nearly 10,000 California inmates by year's end despite warnings by Gov. Jerry Brown and other state officials that a public safety crisis looms if they're forced to open the prison gates. * A panel of three federal judges had previously ordered the state to cut its prison population by nearly 8 percent to roughly 110,000 inmates by Dec. 31 to avoid conditions amounting to cruel and unusual punishment. * A majority of justices refused an emergency request by the governor to halt a lower court's directive for the early release of the prisoners to ease severe overcrowding at California's 33 adult prisons." -- Hmmm, after sending the Prop 8 ruling because Brown & his staff didn't do the appeal, I'd say this is 'revenge'...and ties the score for the Supreme Court. Idea!! Hey, Gov. Brown... send'em on 1-way cruises to Hawaii in revenge for Hawaii's plan to ship homeless people to the mainland!

Online headline: "resident Obama's LA Visit In August Will Include Jay Leno And A Trip To Camp Pendleton" -- Great timing... maybe Judas 00-bama can have a ribbon-cutting for the gates of a California Prison letting psychopaths et al free.

---

Online story: "The fee dispute between CBS and Time Warner Cable reached a boiling point Friday afternoon when an already-extended deadline for negotiations passed and the cable provider blacked out CBS and Showtime in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and other markets. The move leaves nearly 3 million subscribers without the CBS channels." -- Hmm, let's replace Congress with Time Warner Executives who may hold the line on the Debt Ceiling, and shut the government down, too!

---

Online headline: "House GOP Votes To Repeal Obamacare For 40th Time " -- Geez! Wasn't once enough for effect? A better plan would be to get the Supreme Court to strike down Judas 00-bama's order to delay a bill Congress passed and he signed. 00-bama has basically usurped a power granted to the Supreme Court without asking.

HuffPost headline/story: "New Democrat Coalition Issues Ultimatum On Immigration Reform  * Therefore, we write to inform you that if a bipartisan immigration reform package is not introduced in the House of Representatives -- one that includes a pathway to citizenship, helps grow American jobs, and fixes our immigration system once and for all -- by September 30th, we as New Democrats will consider introducing a comprehensive immigration reform bill" --  Hmmm, a bill that includes "pathway to citizenship, helps grow American jobs, and fixes our immigration system once and for all". This sounds like an answer a Miss America contestant might give... all it needs is "world peace" and she'd win.

---

HuffPost headline/story: "'Stand Your Ground' Poll Reveals Shocking Results" * In households with gun owners, voters back the laws by a margin of 67 percent to 29 percent." -- Are liberal so dense that they feel that the majority of citizens 'feel' like they do?

---

You know, liberals want bullies to stand down, yet want people being bullied not to stand up.

---

Online story: "Matt Lauer asked Cuyahoga County Sheriff Frank Bova for an interview with Ariel Castro and was turned away, according to a local reporter (Scott Taylor) who witnessed the situation. * Taylor added that Bova said about the request, "I won't allow it" and "An Ariel Castro interview from jail isn't going to happen in Cleveland." -- Alright! Send Sheriff Bova a re-election donation!

These are not your wife's, nor your teen/preteen child's shoes.. these are some Suri Cruise, age 7, and Honor Alba, age 4, have been seen wearing with their Mom's approval. Needless to say, kids' heels sales are 'skyrocketing'. What else are their daughters wearing... thong panties?

---

McClatchy headline/pic: "Dozens arrested in pro-immigration protest at U.S. Capitol"

More than 30 Leaders Arrested on Capitol Hill to Protest Unjust Immigration Policies - DC

-- You know, if this had been a 'protest' by 24 people carrying a "DUMBERats, do you want our vote" banner, McClatchy wouldn't have bothered covering, much less airing this. It's purely a 'bait & switch' motivated as this group is not going to vote Republican regardless.

---

McClatchy headline story: "High-ranking Senate Democrat joins calls to disclose NSA collection programs * The Senate’s No. 2 Democrat on Friday joined the growing push in Congress against the National Security Agency’s sweeping collection of cellphone records, announcing that the Senate Appropriations Committee had approved a measure that would require the agency to make public declarations about the once-secret program.  * Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., who’s the assistant Senate majority leader and the chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, said the measure was inserted into a Defense Department spending bill."  -- Hmmm, bet it's not the Snowden stuff Durbin wants to find out about. My guess is he's wants to squelch any more Lewinsky tapes from coming out, and put a hold on any other DUMBERats having their Weiner-shots becoming public notice.

---

Online story: "ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - A former employee of Florida State Attorney Angela Corey's office is suing the prosecutor, claiming he was illegally fired after he testified on behalf of George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the death of black teenager Trayvon Martin. *  the lawsuit against Corey, which was filed on Thursday, cited a statute that makes it illegal to fire someone for their testimony when it is given under subpoena. Kruidbos was subpoenaed by the Zimmerman defense team." -- You know, this case will probably get settled, but it will take the next election for the Florida taxpayers to get a chance to really settle the score against Angela Corey. Let's hope the FBA and ABA do so as well!

---

Online story: "In an interview with the Daily Beast published on Friday, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) launched into a rant against the Tea Party, terming the movement racist; he added that Republicans are “terrorists.” * He stated of GOP opposition to the Obama agenda in the House, “What is happening is sabotage. Terrorists couldn’t do a better job than the Republicans are doing.” As for the Tea Party, Rangel spat, “It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police." -- And when was the last time Rangel has been in the South since the Selma march in 1965? The only one in this story living in the past is RANGEL!

The new IRS guy, Werfel, is awful. He produced a 'redacted' document to the Congressional Committee that had one, literally, white spot on it. I assume that was the "space" between a period and the next letter. Perhaps a Republican lawyer needs to be in attendance to rule on what has to be redacted on future docs.

---

Hmmm, Do you think "Weiner" will make it to the top 100 DUMBERat baby names next year? How about Huma?

---

From McClatchy: "Senators spar over definition of ‘journalist’ in seeking to protect them" --  Huh? This from the party who's leader had to get clarification on the definition of "is"?

---

Another from the "arrggghhhh!!!!!" department - Online story: "The United States will treat the visa applications of same-sex married couples in the same manner as opposite-sex spouses, Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday, announcing a policy change set in motion in June, after the Supreme Court struck down a law against same-sex marriage." -- Wow... wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall when these visas/passports are offered to enter a Muslim country?

---

Now that Major Hasan has renounced his US citizenship and stated his killings were an act of jihad, will someone stop paying him with my tax dollars!

What BS! The www.barackobama-organizinggoraction.com folks want me to wish Judas 00-bama a 'happy birthday' but only if I make a donation. Now that's elitism... I just wanted to wish him good luck at blowing out that many candles, even though I know he wouldn't have any problem since his specialty is blowing out the lights on reality.

---

Hmmm, seems we are at a loggerhead. The White House calls the plethora of scandals phony and we call the white House players phonies.

---

Justice.... you would think it has a finite definition... but not to all people. Not to local, state, or national NAACP reps, not to the Urban League, not to the DOJ or White House or Congressional Black Caucus or mainstream media. To these parties, there's never a cry for justice unless a black person has been 'wronged', in their minds, by a non-black. There's no injustice in Chicago, there's no injustice when a drug deal between two blacks goes bad, there's no injustice when a gang of blacks jumps a single person of a different race and pummels him, there's no injustice when an elderly white woman is the victim of a home invasion by blacks, there's no injustice when a job is filled by a lesser qualified black person, nor no injustice when a lesser qualified black student gets the last slot in a college. How do we know this... Because the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, the White House, the DOJ, the Urban League, and the mainstream media shout it on the streets when there is injustice.

---

McClatchy: "U.S. orders embassies to close Sunday due to security threats" -- Whoa! This must be serious... some part of government is being shut down, and Judas 00-bama and his team is not blaming "sequester".

---

Online story: "In a heated exchange on his show The O’Reilly Factor on Thursday, Bill O’Reilly challenged state Rep. Monique Davis (D.) for her incendiary comments about Chicago police allegedly gunning down black children. Representative Davis then shirked responsibility for the outrageous claim, saying, “I didn’t say it, Bill. I repeated what members of my community have said to me,” She then continued, “It is crucially important that people realize that was not Monique Davis’s statement.”  (Apparently elected officials speak of themselves in the third person when squirming during interviews.) " -- Nothing good is going to happen in the future until current black leaders stop living in the past.

---

Online headline: "benghazi-alert-obama-admin-hiding-survivors-changing-their-names" --  Danger alert... when I went back to this story, the story has been deleted.

---

Those Wells Fargo ads about banking via your cell phone... it may be the thing of the future, but it sure scares me that that info is stored on a cell phone that may get flushed down a toilet as well as stolen, cloned, or hacked.

---

The rate of adult children living with their parents is at an all time high and 45% of those are unemployed. Guess they are the ones that didn't take what liberals call trade programs in college like medical, legal, business or engineering.

---

From a fellow BCer:

 

truly a sign of the times...

---

I was pulling for our Northern LL All-stars yesterday, but can't say I was totally upset at the results. The South Carolina team that beat them is from the Little League one of my nephews plays in... Taylors, SC.

L-E headline/story: "Judge blocks planned horse slaughter at 2 plants *  U.S. District Judge Christina Armijo issued a restraining order in a lawsuit brought by The Humane Society of the United States and other groups in case that has sparked an emotional national debate about how best to deal with the tens of thousands of unwanted and abandoned horses across the country." -- While I cannot say I'm for slaughterin horses for meat or other things, the Judge should make his restraining order in effect only if the Humane Society of the United States takes full responsibility of the horse.

---

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — House Republicans are preparing legislation that would cut food stamps by as much as $4 billion annually in an effort to downsize a program that many conservatives say has become too bloated in recent years. " -- Of course, this is run to embarrass Republicans as uncaring, but what's not said, is the $4 Billion (and probably multiples of that) could be cut straight from administrative costs and waste, and those in need, true need, will not be affected.

---

Have you noticed lately that big dollar crimes of theft are being reported from areas in Columbus where the thieves live and multiply? Maybe the thieves are getting lazier and are waiting for more productive thieves return to their lairs with stolen booty, and are taking it from them.

---

Hmmm, 7 shot lead after 36 holes.. how can Tiger blow that this weekend... as Browning wrote, "let me count the ways".
