Online story: "Distancing herself from President Barack Obama's foreign policy, potential 2016 U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said in an interview published on Sunday that the U.S. decision not to intervene early in the Syrian civil war was a "failure. * Clinton was Obama's secretary of state during his first term as president, stepping down in early 2013, so she was part of the administration during the start of the Syria uprising." -- Wait a minute.. how can the Hillsbury DOUGHgirl "distance herself" from herself, too?

Obamageddon..... hmmm.... I do believe I've come up with a truly all encompassing one name expression of the state of America's future. It covers, immigration reform, healthcare, the economy, alternative energy, and foreign policy.

Good grief...attorneys for Bomber Brother 2 are complaining that media coverage is denying their client a fair trial..What's gonna determine the trial outcome is security videos made the day of the bomb blasts that show the SOB cowardly planting his bomb-filled backpack where everyday citizens were gathered to cheer friends and family across the finish land...then sneaking away like a snake. The only thing the court need to determine is "fair" is for the court to be fair to America.

HuffPost headline: "Holder: Michael Brown Shooting Deserves A Review" -- Hmmm.. yet Holder doesn't feel two illegal aliens killing Border Patrol agent, off duty Border Patrol agent at the time, Border Patrol agent Javier Vega Jr deserves a review of the entire border security policy? Speaking of things that deserve a review, how about Holder himself...

HuffPost story: "In Wisconsin, election observers also worry that there may be confusion over whether voters will need to show photo identification to vote. (They won't.) Although the state Supreme Court recently ruled that the law is constitutional, it will not be in effect Tuesday. But the American Civil Liberties Union in Wisconsin told The Associated Press that it's worried people who don't have the proper ID will be discouraged from voting." -- You know, if a registered voter is not concerned enough to make sure he/she is up-to-date on voting requirements, that voter isn't up-to-date enough to vote on issues or who represents him/her.

Online story: "The IRS has submitted several sworn declarations to a federal district court in an attempt to explain the missing emails of former agency official Lois Lerner, as part of a case brought against the agency by a conservative watchdog group. * In the declarations, agency technology officials insisted they did everything they could to fix and recover data from the hard drive of Lerner, who is a central figure in the investigation into the agency’s targeting of conservative groups. * However, they said their efforts were fruitless, and some of Lerner's emails were lost." -- "efforts were fruitless"? Well if "efforts were fruitless", then best efforts were not made.. that or Lerner herself needs to be investigated for 'great efforts' in destrying the evidence.

L-E headline: "Grand Rapids firm gives to earth-friendly causes" -- Oooops, my bad.. thought more money was going into defeating politicians who support Obamageddon.

Online quote source: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - H. Jackson Brown, Jr." -- Hmmm... I usually find "wisdom" in the quotes I repost, but this one is faulted... Twenty years from now, we will be more disappointed by what WAS done in 2008 when Obamageddon began.

WTVM9 story: "COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) - Mayor Tomlinson released the FBI's crime report for Columbus on Thursday, Aug. 7, saying that violent crimes are up less than one percent as of this July. * "I really don't understand what world she lives in, but literally, everyday we hear another shooting, robbery, break-in," one east Columbus resident explains. For safety reasons, he chose not to show his face on camera." -- "for safety reasons"? More than likely he's embarrassed that he swallowed Mayor Obamalinson's Kool-Aid ...twice.

---

WTVM9 headline: "Mayor Tomlinson to tour and evaluate crime at Cross Keys Apartments" -- Hmmm.. bet Mayor Obamalinson's crime evaluation is an "A+".. and without grading on a curve...

Online story: "About 10 million gallons of contaminated wastewater have spilled into rivers from a mine in northern Mexico, and federal officials announced Sunday they are restricting water supply to cities and towns in the country's north, including the Sonora state capital of Hermosillo. * The National Water Commission said it was monitoring chemicals in the Bacanuchi and Sonora rivers following this week's spill at the Buenavista copper mine in Cananea, about 25 miles south of the U.S. border." -- Hmmm...finally.. an "illegal alien invasion" even Obamageddon and the Hollywooders can get upset about and want to act on.

Online story: " Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz is vowing to get southeastern New Mexico's troubled nuclear waste dump back in operation as soon as possible after a mysterious radiation leak that has indefinitely shuttered the nation's only permanent repository for waste from decades of nuclear bomb building. * Officials have yet to pinpoint what caused a barrel of waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory to breach in one of the plant's half-mile-deep rooms * Moniz said the "uncertainty makes it hard for all of us," but investigators are getting closer to identifying the cause and hope to have a plan for reopening the mine in place by the end of next month." -- Oh, so "we" have a "leaking mine, too. Let's pray the two do not meet at the Rio Grande River. Dang.. why does Obamageddon seem to fit the situation so perfectly?

Online story: "The government’s "Cash for Clunkers" program may have been a clunker itself, according to a new economic study. * Researchers at Texas A&M, in a recently released report, measured the impact of Cash for Clunkers on sales and found the program actually decreased industry revenue by $3 billion over a nine-to-11-month period. Meanwhile, the "stimulus" also cost taxpayers $3 billion." -- What's sadder is the effect it had on today's used car market.. removing 700,000 vehicles from the market drove up the cost of available used cars (supply and demand at work), which, in turn, forced new cars to keep inflated prices.

Online "TIME" story: "A federal judge ruled Friday against a petition by the Justice Department and civil rights group to block North Carolina’s expansive voting law from taking effect before November’s election, writing there was not enough evidence that it would cause “irreparable harm” if it remained in effect. * The law, which has been called one of the most suppressive laws in recent history, is being challenged by the Obama Administration and a group of civil rights organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Advancement Project, and the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP, which claims the law will disenfranchise thousands of black voters. The law eliminates same-day voter registration and out-of-precinct voting, cuts the number of early voting days from 17 to 10, and requires voters to present specific forms of identification at the polls." -- "the NAACP, which claims the law will disenfranchise thousands of black voters."? Voter ID is the one most valuable aspect Americans of all colors have to assure our single vote carries the weight of our thoughts and beliefs. Without such a requirement, fraud strips us of our vote.

Online headline/story: "DEA paid Amtrak $854,460 for passenger lists it could have gotten for free * The Drug Enforcement Administration paid an Amtrak secretary $854,460 over nearly 20 years to obtain confidential information about train passengers, which the DEA could have lawfully obtained for free through a law enforcement network * The employee was not publicly identified except as a "secretary to a train and engine crew" in a report on the incident by Amtrak's inspector general. The secretary was allowed to retire, rather than face administrative discipline, after the discovery that the employee had effectively been acting as an informant who "regularly" sold private passenger information since 1995 without Amtrak's approval, according to a one-paragraph summary of the matter." -- "The secretary was allowed to retire"? Good grief.. the
"secretary" generated his/her own private retirement account with tax dollars , illegally, and now he/she is being rewarded from a separate tax payer funded retirement fund? I see two people, at a minimum (DEA payoff person as well) who should be spending their "retirement" at a federal prison.

Oh, that voter registration drive I mentioned this past weekend.. in very little, no, downright "tiny" print, the door-hanger of information that appeared to make one believe this was a GA Secretary of State authorized/supported event has an identifier showing the activity is sponsored by "New Georgia Project. From the Savannah Herald we find out that, " The New Georgia Project is a new effort to register eligible individuals to vote. The nonpartisan group is a project of the nonprofit organization Third Sector Development, a 501(c)(3) organization founded and led by Georgia State Representative Stacey Abrams" Such drib=ves are, well, can be legal, but are required to be "non-partisn". I said "REQUIRED". Well, a voter registration drive that expresses its purpose is to counter "an ongoing effort to make it more difficult FOR US to vote. Registering today will help FORCE politicians to FOCUS on ISSUES WE CARE ABOUT" is hardly "non-partisan". Inquiries as to who is funding this effort have been met with a brick wall. Surely there's an ethics issue with a State Representative organizing/leading an effort that knowingly breaks a law.

Back to the "mandatory fees" parents must pay to enroll their students at GA universities and colleges. Touched on the "Institutional Fee" and the "Athletic Fee" a couple of dats ago, Today we'll hit the "Health Fee". It seems innocuous, but it's still $129.00 annually for a full time student, and can generate $903,000.00 at CSU alone. The "fee" covers covers band-aids and a certain amount of co-pays for doctors and PAs (it doesn't say where theses doctors/PAs are located). You know, with the OObamaCRAP in place, most students are covered either under their parents healthcare, or are responsible for obtaining their own coverage. This fee should be terminated.

It must be nice to be a Democratic Party politician. You can make any general election promises to get liberals votes and know that you'll get their votes next time even though you never planned to keep those promises.

Online story: "Watchdog.org reported last week that union business — oxymoronically classified as “official time” — is subsidized by the IRS. Mehrens uncovered similar behavior at other agencies. * At the IRS, 286 full-time staffers worked exclusively for the National Treasury Employees Union while receiving government paychecks in 2012 (the latest year for which statistics were available). * several other agencies also fully fund union business with public money:

Veterans Affairs. The scandal-scarred VA has more than 250 employees working full-time for the American Federation of Government Employees, the National Association of Government Employees, the National Federation of Federal Employees and the Service Employees International Union.

Some 35 DOT employees exclusively on “official time” receive average annual salaries of $138,000. Some receive more than $170,000.

The EPA pays more than $1.6 million per year to employees who work for their union full-time.

National Labor Relations Board. The NLRB has two employees working for their union full-time. Each makes more than $100,000 per year.

Though the OPM directs “agencies (to) report official time usage on an annual basis,” the office has not released data for the past two years

-- Wow.. what we find out by accident is mind-boggling. I'd seen reports of large Democratic Party run cities, where police departments had taxpayer paid police officers who did no police work, but this is as bad, maybe worse, than an ebola outbreak.

I'm watching old reruns of Indians, uh, Native American warriors, in war paint & battlefield buckskin garb that appears to just having been picked up from the dry cleaners... it's truly comical, but it does show the lack of reality Hollywood had/has on real life.

I'm not a fan of car racing, but how can anyone even suggest Tiny Stewart might have any responsibility for hitting another driver who intentionally "jaywalked" on a dirt racetrack? The guy evened "screened himself"
with a car that was in front of Stewart's. I feel sorry for what happened, but it was completely avoidable.

Why does mainstream media even think, for that matter "feel", that Hamas has any interest in peace? The only power Hamas has is the fear of terrorism.

How prophetic...OK, pathetic, too, was it when Obamageddon spoke to the cadets at West Point and told them the "the future of the military is in diplomats, not soldiers". Good grief..what's next. closing West Point and opening an officers' school at Harvard?

---

Obamageddon is now blaming ineffective data he received about ISIS as the reason he was caught off guard. Huh? His info is exactly what he's directed his sycophants to tell him.

Those homopathic ads that claim their organic natural ingredients will improve your memory, reduce your rear end, or give you 6-pack abs naturally, and without changing your first of routines seem to have one think in common..."clinical proof". What is this "clinical proof"... some employee walking in to work on Monday and saying " hey, you look like you lost weight since yesterday"?

---

LIV's L-E "soundoff": " After nearly 16 years of Obama and Bush, a presidential term should be four years only. This would help curb presidents from imposing their will upon the USA people." -- You know.. it was the dream of a second term that kept Obamageddon from trying to completely dismantle our Constitution during his first term.. unfortunately, liberals have given him his dream chance.

---

LIV's L-E "soundoff": " I can beat the fellow who hasn’t voted for a Republican since Goldwater. I haven’t voted for one since the last decent one — Eisenhower." -- Hmmm.. I guess that means he voted for Humphrey, McGovern, Carter (twice), Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton (twice), Gore Kerry, and On=bama twice. Not exactly a track record to be publicly proud of.

L-E's " Thought for Today": “If you would be a real seeker after truth (TIME OUT! I just lost every liberal who started reading this post), it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” — Rene Descartes, French philosopher (1596-1650)." -- What a message that mainstream media and liberals with never digest in their "feeling process".

L-E headline: "OBAMA WELCOMES NEW IRAQI LEADERS" -- And I guess they fired a few shots across his "bow"....

L-E headline: "POLICE SHOOTING * Witnesses: Teen had hands raised when he was shot" -- Well, a "witness" is not a "witness" until he/she has been sworn in ay a court. Why does the L-E/mainstream media so quickly "try" emotional situations in the public news? And where are the "witnesses" who saw stores being burned/looted?

L-E story: " Glen Cannon, president of Chattahoochee Valley Community College in Phenix City for the last three years, is headed to Gwinnett Technical College in Atlanta to become its next president effective Sept. 1. * “I’ve enjoyed working with the faculty and staff, and I think we’ve accomplished a lot in the little over three years I’ve been there,” Cannon said Monday." -- Good grief... I thought the problem in leadership turnover was limited to K-12 superintendents! Why would anyone even hire someone away from another school situation who had been doing that job for only 3 or 4 years? You know that no programs initiated have matured enough to be analyzed for effectiveness.

L-E story: "About 75 people gathered at the City Services Center in Columbus Monday as part of a “Jailed for Justice” tour that has been visiting various cities throughout the state." -- "75 people"? Well, that basically accounts for the organizers and media.. what's newsworthy about that?
