HuffPost headline: "Record number renouncing US citizenship * 2,999 people terminated their permanent residency this year -- some of whom call themselves 'accidental Americans." -- Hmmmm and I know one more, if not "accidental", outright fraudulent American to round it out to 3,000.

Did you know there's a prison in Louisiana serving 5,000 of the state's most violent criminals, most of who will never leave the walls again? Key tenets/activities for the inmates include religion and morality, sports and a renown rodeo. How come the ACLU, and PETA don't have main offices outside the gates?

HuffPost headline/story: "As Iraq violence grows, US sends more intelligence officers * A high-level Pentagon team is now in Iraq to assess possible assistance for Iraqi forces in their fight against radical jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), a group reconstituted from an earlier incarnation of al Qaeda * The meetings underscore how Iraq's instability is posing a new foreign policy challenge for President Barack Obama, who celebrated the withdrawal of U.S. troops more than two years ago. Despite the concern, officials said it remains unclear whether Obama will commit significant new resources to the conflict." -- You know.. Judas 00-Barnum drew a timeline in the sand to take our soldiers out by certain dates... and he crossed that... and al Qaida just waited him out.....now that line remains in the sand 00-Barnum doesn't know how to cross back over it. Pitiful. Tell me why any world terrorist should take newer "lines drawn" as a serious bluff by 00-Barnum?

Online story: "Donald Sterling, the Los Angeles Clippers owner who was reportedly caught on tape making racist comments to his girlfriend, is set to receive a lifetime achievement award from the NAACP in May, according to the organization's website." -- Were the comments 'really racist' or simply a regrettable outburst in a jealous rage? In a way, it doesn't matter which, there were obviously relationalship issues coming to a head. The NAACP has to make a decision, now, as to whether to be angry or healing.

Online story: "California's $68 billion bullet-train system, the nation's first, would take passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco at speeds of more than 200 miles an hour. The project, though, has been beset by planning delays, fluctuating cost estimates and court challenges that have threatened to kill or delay it indefinitely." -- Hmmm, and Mayor Obamalinson predicts such a venture from here to Newnan and Atlanta will be done for $3.9 billion over 15/20 years. Let's do some math here.. Surveys for the California bullet-train have been going on years longer, and the current low-ball guesstimate is $68 Billion (but that figure is a couple of years old so have not been recalculated for current and future inflation). Let's see.. Los Angeles to San Francisco is about 380 miles. $68 Billion divided by 380 miles is a cost of about $180+/- per mile. Let's round of the Columbus-Atlanta route to, say, 100 miles. Using much more probable survey figures, that would make the Columbus/Atlanta route upwards of $18 BILLION rather than the $3.9 BILLION Mayor Obamalinson states. Hmmm, sorta like the rosy figures see spouted when she was trying to sell voters on approving TDAs here. Upon looking into the TDA projects see exampled in Atlanta, not a one was close to being a profitable project. When Mayor Obamalinson talks about her "pipe dreams" it really is important to check what she's smoking in her "pipe".

Online story: "Illinois Democrats are backing off a plan to give $100 million of state money toward landing President Obama’s presidential library and museum -- following accusations of voting “shenanigans” and nasty Chicago-style politics, not to mention the state’s dire financial situation * “A state that is nearly broke has no business spending $100 million on a potential Barack Obama presidential library,” says an editorial in the HeraldReview.com. “Throw in some parliamentary procedure shenanigans and the Obama presidential library is quickly becoming the typical Illinois government story -- spend money that isn't there and do it in a sneaky way.” * The editorial also points out the recent presidential libraries for Bill Clinton and the Bushes were built entirely with privately-raised funds * there is little argument about whether Illinois has serious money problems. * The state has roughly $7 billion in past due vendor bills and a $100 billion shortfall in its employee pension programs" -- What is it with Democrats and union pension plans? They fund it on the backs of taxpayers in the private sector, without having a clue as to whether the backs of the taxpayers can sustain the burden long enough for the pension plans to kick in. Union membership better remember this next time there "leadership" tells them being a member has such cool advantages.

No wonder OObamaCRAP's rollout was such a catastrophe! We just thought Kathleen Sebelius was dedicated to designing OObamaCRAP, but after trying to get to see our good friends newborn grandson at St Francis, it's obvious Sebelius was moonlighting as the designer of the expansion. Too boot, she must have also trained the "navigators". And if you think " Dueling Banjos" was a creepy song, I swear the elevator music was about the guy who got on Boston's MTA, and never returned . we finally gave up, found an exit door, and walked around the building and found the parking garage. BTW, their grandson is sure a handsome fellow.

Have you seen the 00-Barnum-Japanese Robot video clip pairing off in a soccer demo? 00-Barnum bowed to the robot.. Our President bowed to a bucket of nuts, bolts, and micro-chips. Of course, the robot was a better soccer player. Hmmm, wonder if the Japanese can design a golfing and basketball playing robot which enjoys "craft beer"... That would keep Judas 00-Barnum occupied until the end of his term.

Some liberal Fox "contributor" stated young people should be allowed to drop out of social security do they can save money for their own future. Show me a "young person" who is thinking past their current text message or Instagram. Now, if they put all the SS withholding into an individual trust funds that would be turned over to them at the proper time in their lives.. you might get their interest/
