Online headline: "Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of Death Row Inmates Who Have Low IQs" -- In other words, the US Supreme Court just penalized everyone, prisoners or not, who don't have low IQ's. To me, an IQ test, like any other test, is only valid in determining the upper limits of a person's mental capability. If a smart person is capable to make a high score, he/she is also capable of making an intentionally low score.

Hmmm, the Supreme Court now says you can not be put to death based on your IQ numbers, but you can vote regardless...

Online story: "Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling responded to the NBA's attempt to oust him * According to the response, obtained and posted by USA Today, Sterling says V. Stiviano recorded him without his knowledge and thus the recording was illegal under California law. He also said he could not have "willfully" damaged the league because he did not know it would be made public. * "A jealous rant to a lover never intended to be published cannot offend the NBA rules," the response says. * Sterling also notes the disparity between his lifetime ban and $2.5 million fine and previous NBA punishments, including the $100,000 fine levied on Kobe Bryant when he was caught referring to a referee by a homosexual slur, and the 72-game suspension of Ron Artest for punching a fan." -- Hmmm.. the NBA... "Hmmm, sorta like "the Crone Deranger hoisted by the NBA's Silver bully"? Let the games begin.

From the "it's not one world" department - Online story: "LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) - A pregnant woman was stoned to death Tuesday by her own family outside a courthouse in the Pakistani city of Lahore for marrying the man she loved. * I killed my daughter as she had insulted all of our family by marrying a man without our consent, and I have no regret over it," Mujahid, the police investigator, quoted the father as saying." -- For a nation where courts and Congress are doing their best to deny Christianity, why are we fighting, and for what, in the Muslim world?

She'd rather see children starve than eat

Online story: "LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A Nevada rancher whose dispute with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management drew national attention is no longer a Republican. * Cliven Bundy has switched his affiliation to the Independent American Party." -- Hmmm, so this hero-to-zero went from fighting the Democratic Party to basically supporting it. What's he going to do.. vote for a splinter candidate or just not vote? Either way, he's supporting the Democratic Party which was what he was standing up against all along.

Did you see the "ceremonial first pitch" thrown by 50 Cent at the Mets' game? He almost clipped a cameraman standing in the 1st Base on-deck area.. on the first bounce..Judas 00-Barnum must have gotten to him, because what 50 Cent threw up would make Judas 00-Barnum look like a starter.

Online story: "Five rare white tiger cubs made their debut at the White Zoo in Kernhof, Austria over the weekend, ABC News reports. According The Guardian, the cuddly little Bengal cubs, born back on April 25, are believed to be Europe's first quintuplet of white tiger cubs. * The adorable litter is made up four females and one male, WPTV notes, adding that the girl cubs were all given rather typical names -- Lali, Lela, Lila, and Lulu. But it's the lone boy cub who was given the memorable moniker of 'Obama.' -- Hmm whatta misnomer.. Judas 00-Barnum is certainly not part tiger.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed legislation Tuesday to raise the state's minimum wage by 25 percent gradually over the next four years to $9.25 an hour, as Republicans controlling the state government moved to head off a November ballot measure that could have raised pay even more." -- "head off a November ballot measure that could have raised pay"? -- Good grief.. why not give voters a ballot initiative asking them if they want to decide how much they want to pay for a GM car , or how much they want to pay for a McDonald's hamburger? Pretty soon, there could be a ballot initiative to eliminate the governor's office. Inmates are truly in control of the asylum.

Scientists can't even define the Industrial Revolution any closer than 20 years.

From a head's up from a fellow BCer: Recently, the American Girl Corporation announced it was cutting a number of stock dolls from it's basic inventory. They were very slow movers and the money saved will help American Girl stay open. Unfortunately, the models being eliminated are Asian and black based dolls. The "PC Police" are now yelling "racism". What BS.. American Girl reached out to all races and cultures, and some did not support American Girl's efforts. In addition, American Girl will still make custom dolls any way any customer wants (within manufacturing capabilities). This is a "worst case scenario of race baiters.. shout them down for their intolerances!

L-E story: "After weeks of negotiations, presentations and meetings, Columbus Council appears poised to approve Mayor Teresa Tomlinson’s proposed budget of about $24.8 million for the Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office. * That’s about $2 million less than Sheriff John Darr had originally requested. But city Finance Director Pam Hodge told councilors she met with Darr last Thursday and Friday and found about $1 million in savings in his budget, lowering the gap between his proposal and the mayor’s to about $1 million." -- Here we go again.. a budget with controllable expense centers is one thing, but one that is controlled by federal mandates is another. How can Mayor Obamalinson want others to control the uncontrollable while she has a free rein at spending money on fluff projects? PS - Let Pam Hodge's budget make up for any errors in her miscalculations of the savings she said she found.

-----------------------------

Ironic or moronic....Mayor Obamalinson tried to cut back garbage collection to once a week saying it would save us about $250K annually, then shows us what she would do with such savings by wanting to build a $250K crapper on the RiverWalk.

Online headline/story: "Oprah Says That All White Racists Must Die To Fix America * Oprah Winfrey made some shocking comments in a recent interview with BBC, when she alluded that the only reason someone wouldn’t like President Barack Obama is if they were a racist. * “There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism,” Oprah said, “and they just have to die.” *That’s right, according to Oprah, when everyone who ever had a racist ancestor dies, America will be set free from all of its problems." -- Wish the reporter had asked her if she had ever had a hate thought thought about any white person... or if she thinks she's been denied achievement by any white person...Oh, and why didn't the reporter ask why she has accumulated so much personal wealth rather than distributing it to others... In my book, only a racist is so adamant about others being racist.

WTVM9 headline/story: "Feeding the Valley receives $83,000 contribution from Walmart * "Walmart is very excited to continue supporting Feeding the Valley and dedicated to helping the communities we serve," said Glen Wilkins, director of public affairs and government relations at Walmart. "The grant will help the organization reach its 10-year growth plan to more than double the number of people it feeds on an annual basis." -- "help the organization reach its 10-year growth plan to more than double the number of people it feeds on an annual basis"? Huh? Shouldn't the goal of any charitable organization.. in fact any charitable donation, be in anticipation of eliminating, not doubling, the problem?

Online story: "DETROIT (AP) — Removing blighted residential properties and small commercial structures that have plagued Detroit neighborhoods for decades would cost $850 million, with perhaps $1 billion more needed to tackle the bankrupt city's larger commercial and industrial property, a task force said Tuesday. * Nearly one in three structures need some form of "intervention," including demolition or rehabilitation, the task force said. About 150 people were hired to inventory all of the city's 380,000 real estate parcels last winter . * Overall, it found nearly 85,000 blighted parcels, of which 73,000 are residential structures. * The city also aims to strengthen ordinance enforcement, with a particular focus on absent owners, and require a $15,000 cash payment per structure from banks that transfer titles of properties for the intervention required to rehabilitate or remove structures. " -- First, valuing 85,000 blighted parcels for $1 Billion dollars would be an average value of about $11,800.00 each. Right off, we know $1 Billion is not going to do the job, especially in "Unionville, USA" and nobody is going to pay the $15,000.00 title transfer fees. You think the OObamaCRAP rollout was a fiasco.. get ready to bendover backwards into a pretzel.

Online story: " California lawmakers on Tuesday proposed expanded restraining orders and new law enforcement procedures to deter the type of violent rampages that left six young people dead over the weekend near the University of California, Santa Barbara. * Two Assembly members proposed legislation that would create a gun violence restraining order that could be sought from a judge by law enforcement at the request of family members and friends. * “When someone is in crisis, the people closest to them are often the first to spot the warning signs but almost nothing can now be done to get back their guns or prevent them from buying more,” said Democratic Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner of Berkeley, who sponsored the measure with Das Williams, D-Santa Barbara." -- Good grief.. first, no new law is being proposed abut knives being used to kill, but secondly, we, even California, have existing laws about mentally dysfunctional people owning guns.. sharp instruments such as knives as well, it's just that even a California law is not going to be honored by a dysfunctional;l person regardless of his/her mental state. Why is common sense not demonstrated, much less understood, by Democrats?

---

Why are the police being blamed for the shooter's actions out in California? It's standard police procedure not to arrest someone BEFORE they commit a crime. It's easy to point fingers, but you know it, too, that if the police had incarcerated that director's son, the director/father, and probably the ACLU, would have been all in police department's business.

Soapbox moment - Online story: "President Barack Obama’s administration has quietly suggested it is willing to create a two-tier race-based legal system in Hawaii, where one set of taxes, spending and law enforcement will govern one race, and the second set of laws will govern every other race." -- Good grief... it's apparent Judas 00-Barnum already enforcing multiple sets of laws and taxes on the rest of the country. Some states are exempt from marijuana enforcement, some states are exempt from voter intimidation control, some state aren't allowed to define marriages, some states can't control their borders, no state can ask for citizenship proof for taxpayer funded government services, white people pay an indoor tanning tax, black people cannot be charged with racism or "hate crimes", Christians cannot practice publicly what other religions are allowed, homosexuals can demonstrate in parades what straight people would get arrested for doing.. my question is, "Why is Judas 00-Barnum just now allowing such in Hawaii?

Online story: "FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Fort Lauderdale police believe hundreds of young people made their way to the beach for one reason this Memorial Day, to cause trouble. * Police said around 5 o’clock in the afternoon, hundreds of young people made their way to the beach for one reason this Memorial Day, to cause trouble. * Fort Lauderdale Police officials said a group of young people came to the beach to fight and when police quickly broke it up, they scattered through the streets." -- Hmmm, seems like CBS has left out a couple of pertinent facts in this story.. seems all the unruly young people were black, and that they used social media/twitter accounts to organize this riot. Maybe this is another of Judas 00-Batrnum's separate rules/laws for his two-tiered race-based system of government.

Just thinking about that tidbit that the Coast Guard stopping $9.5 Million in drugs every day, and how much that is annually. Say, what if the Coast Guard did sell it back to the dealers/countries ? We could eliminate the National Debt in a few years, and pretty much fund most of our National Budget which would pretty much eliminate income and sales taxes which would be a terrific shot in the arm for our economy.

You know, if there is another gun law that doesn't already exist, it should be one that removes someone permanently off the street if they are caught with a gun, and an ID check reveals they have been previously incarcerated for any other felonious crime.

There have been three reports of atrocities committed to two 12 year olds (1 boy, 1 girl) and a 6 year old girl in Columbus recently. No names are mentioned. I know it's a sensitive issue when friends/family are involved, but it doesn't change what's happened to the children, but is society being helped by not reporting the perpetrators, even if just alleged?
