HuffPost headline: "America is treating its low-wage workers so badly that it's starting to get shamed by the rest of the world." -- Good grief.. like America is the "home" of "sweat shops", and American workers are crossing the borders to other countries to take "higher paying" low income jobs? If there's anything America is shamed for by the rest of the most world is that the rest of most of the world doesn't feel as secure with 3rd World dictators despots throwing the gauntlet at the Mosqued Man and seeing he's given all his "silver bullets" to them thinking they will like him better.

Now the Man of Steal wants to give $1,500,000,000.00 dollars to take care of the needs if the 47,000 unaccompanied children who have over our borders from Mexico. That's nearly $32,000 pet child. Another question needs answering as well.. How come unattended children can cross our borders so easily.

You know.. what the rest of the industrial world laughs at the US about fastest... and "firstest" is the high corporate income tax American companies pay. Every penny of tax a corporation (versus people) pays out adds directly to the finished products' cost and saps the buying strength of the net take home pay of taxpayers. It also distances the international market's desire for American exports.

HuffPost headline: "Obama Announces About 275 Troops Deploying To Iraq" -- Hmmm.. looks like Larry Platt may have to write a new hit song sequel.....
"Boots on the Ground
Boots on the Ground
Lookin' like a fool
With your boots on the Ground."

Let's look at the $244,000.00 "Royal Flush" bathroom one more time before it's voted on:
Don't know how this had escaped discussion, but how many $244K bathrooms are built on the beaches you like to go to?
Hmmm...that brings up other questions ..like is anyone who rafts/kayaks going to stop, walk up to the RiverWalk looking for a bathroom? Has anyone seen $244K bathrooms on the Alabama side...or on RiverWalks in other cities?
Oh, and how many $244K bathrooms do we provide in combat arenas for our soldiers?
On a solution aspect.. how about converting Golden Park into a public bathroom facility? It's already there.. has multiple bathroom facilities already in existence.. some are even air conditioned, and some industrious entrepreneur(s) will buy business licenses to operate a conveyance service to speedily transport people in need to such a destination.
Either that, or provide a portable, event available, cabana tent changing station where "Depends" could be sold and changed into should needs arrive.
On the other hand, 5 Councilors will be running.. either for re-election or the door.. in two years.

Maybe CNN should interview Hillary about why she said, "Al-Qaida is decimated".... bet Fox will ask her in their interview, but CNN will reach the hardcore libs.
---
If the Mosqued Man says he can sit down with Iran and deal with the Iraqi's turmoil, doesn't it mean Iran and the Mosques Man acknowledge the Taliban is involved?
---
You know, when you see ads for family destination beach vacations that include all your expenses, and are on "sale" at 65% off, don't you wonder how much you would be overpaying at regular price?

Online story: "In what was part promotional stunt, part spectacle and part curiosity attraction, Pete Rose managed the independent Atlantic League Bluefish for one game Monday night, standing in the first base coaching box for the first five innings when the Bluefish were at bat. Rose’s Connecticut cameo was more notable for the buzz that was circulating: Was Rose trying to get MLB commissioner Bud Selig’s attention one more time before Selig steps down in January?" -- Sorry, Charlie Hustle, but America wants Blue "Tuna" Fish that taste good. Besides, maybe if you redeem yourself in the independent Atlantic League for a career, Bud Selig will let you be inducted in the Independent Atlantic League "HOF".
---
L-E story: "Carver High School assistant principal Craig Fitts will be recommended by superintendent David Lewis to be the new principal at Double Churches Middle School." -- Hmmm, why is a vice principal from Carver being put in charge of another school? Carver has been rebuilt with all the latest resources other schools dream of, yet Carver recently had the worst results of any school in Columbus.
---
In 2007, Bush43 predicted the reintroduction of violence in Iraq if the US didn't follow through with support measures. Hmmm, do you not expect the Mosques Man's spinmeisters to spin the video (ala Benghazi/BeenHazy) of the Bush comments as "the cause" of the Sunni actions going on today?
---
When Dave Brat defeated Eric Cantor in the VA 7th District Republican Primary, Brat posted these 6 tenets as his platform:
"That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice,
"That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society,
"That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government,
"That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations,
"That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense,
"That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation."

Only mainstream media, liberals, educators and unions can read these and find fault. Amazingly, this happened in the shadows of the Capitol Building. If this is a "Tea Party" thing, then what patriotic American citizens are not in step with the Tea Party movement?
---
HuffPost headline: "GM Recalls 3.2 Million More Cars For Ignition Switch Problems" -- Hmmm, that's up to a years annual production for GM.. now just another 10 years to go before it's safe for everybody to drive again.. You know, it that Mosqued Man had not bailed out Government Motors, we wouldn't have to be looking at 4 years' GM production for more future recalls?
---
HuffPost headline: "Obama Drafting Executive Order On LGBT Job Discrimination" -- Oooops, my bad.. thought he was rescinding his previous order to eliminate such.
---
HuffPost headline: "Kerry: US Open To Cooperating With Iran Over Iraq Conflict" -- Hmmm, wonder if he and that Mosqued Man will be as flexible as they told the Russians?
---
HuffPost headline: "Starbucks Announces Plan Help Cover Tuition Costs For Workers" -- Hmmm.. another discount to "affordable late night study stimulation"?
---
Online headline: "IMF managing director Christine Lagarde: Fed can do a better job with more communication" -- Hmmm, "better job with more communication"? How about "Fed can do more with better communication"?
---
From the "wow, I didn't see that coming when I copped my liberal's attitude" department - Online story: "If you live in hurricane country, your plans to flee an approaching storm could be zapped if you drive an electric vehicle. * Without enough juice to crawl along in bumper-to-bumper traffic for hours on end, "your car turns into a lawn ornament," says John O'Dell, senior editor at Edmunds.com." -- And to think that Florida was almost won by Algore....hmmm, maybe someone will invent a coal-powered, portable electric recharger you can haul behind your battery operated vehicle....
---
Online headline: "Alaska to offer free pregnancy tests in bars" -- Hmmm.. sounds more like a trap a to find women who "do" but aren't...yet...
---
Online "headlie": "Chicago mayor squares off with Donald Trump over sign on tower" -- Hmmm, only in Chicago could a former Chief-of-Staff for the Man of Steal could Rahm Emanuel be considered "square".
---
L-E headline: "SLAMIC STATE OF IRAQ AND SYRIA * ISIS claims control of last major city in northern Iraq" -- Rumor has it that Senator Diane Feinstein, D-CA, will introduce new legislation today to ban guns in Southern Iraq to avoid more armed conflict.
---
L-E story: "As promised last week, superintendent David Lewis on Monday night delivered a Fiscal Year 2015 budget to the Muscogee County School Board that includes laying off fewer school-based employees than originally announced. * Instead of the 69 layoffs that were in the preliminary budget the board approved June 2, board members passed the $264,717,610 budget — $5.9 million, or 2.2 percent, less than the Fiscal Year 2014 original budget — that now requires 42 layoffs" -- Hmmm, the old liberal "bait and switch" trick.. promise more, but deliver less. Sorta like when Bill Clinton campaigned on a blanket middle class tax cut, but then cried that he just couldn't do it no matter how hard he tried. On the other hand.. it looks like saving $5.9 Million indicates that those 42 who lost their jobs were averaging $140.000.00 plus per job
---
L-E story: " A Columbus man faces life in prison over allegations he orchestrated the 2011 armed robbery of a pizza deliveryman who, returning to the crime scene days later, happened to meet one of the robbers when the suspect asked what the deliveryman was doing there." -- So this is the guy we've always seen standing next to the guy wearing the "I'm with Stupid ->" t-shirt ads...
---
L-E story: " For over 100 years, African Americans all over the country have been celebrating Juneteenth (June 19, 1865), the date when many of the slaves in the State of Texas learned that they had been freed, almost two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln" -- Hmmm, but LBJ's "Great Society" took it back away in 1965....

LIV's L-E "soundoff": " European countries won’t tolerate NRA excuses for 20,000 gun deaths a year. That’s why the NRA and GOP call them socialist." -- Actually, there are 30,000 gun related deaths in the US annually, but 2/3rds are suicides, and if you take into consideration how many are street shootings, in major cities and by drug deals gone bad, the number of planned and accidental deaths by guns drops precipitously. In fact, in 2009, there were "only" 554 unintentional gun deaths. The Congressional Research Service in 2009 estimated there were 310 million firearms in the U.S., not including weapons owned by the military. 114 million of these were handguns, 110 million were rifles, and 86 million were shotguns. In that same year, the Census bureau stated the population of people in the U.S. at 306 million. Overall, in the hands of law abiding citizens, deaths caused by guns are few and far between.

LIV's L-E "soundoff": " If the Republican Party would stop its anti-Obama campaign, maybe they could start working for the people who elected them." -- DOH! And this person is allowed to vote? I do think Republican Party electees SHOULD start working for the people who elected them.. the fact is that Student Loan Ranger should start working for the voters who elected more Republicans than Democrats in the last two elections.

L-E story: "NAIROBI, Kenya — The gunmen went door to door in the Kenyan costal town, demanding to know if the men inside were Muslim and if they spoke Somali. If the extremists did not like the answers, they opened fire, witnesses said on Monday. * Authorities blamed al-Shabab, a Somali al-Qaidalinked group, for the hours-long assault on Mpeketoni in which 48 people were killed. The attack began Sunday night as residents watched World Cup matches on TV and lasted until early Monday, with little resistance from Kenya’s security forces * The merciless life-or-death religious assessment recalled al-Shabab’s attack on an upscale mall in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, last September in which at least 67 people were killed, some of them after not being able to answer questions about Islam." -- You know.. the AP nor the L-E will accurately describe, nor really just imply, what is happening.. this is a Christian purge.. a genocide act of Muslims. Wonder what the story would have read like if the situation was reversed?.. Hmm, no, I already know..you do, too.

Chuck Williams at the L-E commemorating his 25th year here in Columbus.. He highlights that the downtown area of today is not the one he saw when he first arrived. Little did he know that one day he'd be looking for one of the wig shops that were so plentiful then... q;-) Congrats, Chuck! Oh, stick around for a lot more.

L-E story: " ATLANTA— Chelsea Clinton, who has played an increasingly prominent role in her family’s foundation, used a speech Monday to call for more community service opportunities for a younger generation and said she supports efforts that would allow more college graduates to reduce their student loan debt through volunteering." -- First, why do daughters of Democrat politicians such as Clinton and Nunn use their father's names to get ahead.. aren't they "woman enough" to shine on their own accomplishments.. but her politicking about the college grads to "reduce their student loan debt by volunteering"? Good grief.. what a typical liberal thought process. And what do the those "volunteers do after they've "volunteered off" their student loan debt... then start looking for a paying job?
---
From the above story: "(Chelsea) Clinton, 34, who serves as vice chair of the Clinton Foundation" -- She's the "vice chair"? I was pretty sure Bill held that position...
