You know.. it's happened.. public education has failed.. a Houston,Texas area principal has been fired for wanting her "55%" Hispanic school to prefer speaking English versus Spanish in school. She knows that being street affluent in English will make a difference in their lives. What's sad is that I remember taking Spanish in high school and my teacher in Spanish II asked us to converse in Spanish in class, She was applauded for her techniques of making students become better bi-linguists. In today's academic chaos, she's probably would get fired, too.

HuffPost "headlie"/story: "Gaza truce expires, rocket fire resumes * Israel and militants from Gaza resumed cross-border attacks on Friday, after a three-day truce expired " -- "Israel and militants"? How about as soon as the truce "expired", HAMAS unleashed a barrage of 21 rockets toward Israel! You know.. Hamas basically threw a blindside sucker punch.. mainstream media...and Factless Shrugged ..just prefer to remain biased..

Factless Shrugged says he's not going go sit around "twiddling his thumbs" waiting for Congress to act. Hmmm, Congress might "act" if he told Senator Harry Reid to bring the House originated bills to a vote, and told Boehner he'd like to meet with him and listen to his ideas.

HuffPost "headlie": Obama authorizes airstrikes against militants in Iraq" -- "militants"... cannot the HuffPost just call terrorist organizations by their names?
Instant repeat - HuffPost headline/story: "Obama authorizes airstrikes against militants in Iraq * After years of resisting the pull of more Mideast conflicts, President Barack Obama is ready to return the United States to military action in Iraq, the very country where he accused his predecessor of engaging in a "dumb war. * The president's authorization of airstrikes against militants in Iraq threatens to upend his legacy as the commander in chief who ended the long, unpopular war which killed nearly 4,500 American troops. It also raises fresh questions about whether Obama's desire to end that conflict clouded his assessment of the risks of fully withdrawing U.S. troops, as well as his judgment about the threat posed by the Islamic extremists who have taken advantage of a vulnerable Iraq." -- "threatens to upend his legacy "? "clouded his assessment of the risks of fully withdrawing U.S. troops"? "threat posed by the Islamic extremists"? Good grief.. the HuffPost still cannot.. will not, refer to jihadist.. to "Islamic extremists".. by their recognized organizations names, but at least HuffPost is showing it's not happy with the Mosqued-man. Of course, it'll still be left for Fox News to blow its own horn and say, "I told you so!"

Comment on above story: How many military leaders were canned for speaking their minds about Factless Shrugged's strategies? How many mainstream media outlets supported Factless Shrugged's strategies and firings with open silence?
---
Online headline: "WHO: Ebola a global health emergency" -- Hmmm... Bud Abbot was wrong.. WHO's not on first... WHO is in the bleacher section of the grandstands.

Online story: "WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- A local diner that received attention from around the world for giving a discount to those who took a moment to pray, meditate or simply say "thank you" before their meal will stop offering the discount due to the threat of a lawsuit. * A group called the Freedom from Religion Foundation in Wisconsin stirred the pot Tuesday by releasing a letter accusing Mary's Gourmet Diner owner Mary Haglund of violating the Civil Rights Act by denying "customers who do not pray and nonbelievers the right to 'full and equal' enjoyment of Mary's Gourmet Diner." * Haglund said she had no idea her discount was breaking the law." -- Huh? The only question here that's worth mulling over is why any court would even accept such a lawsuit without making an instant ruling that the complainant should be hung in public.

Online story from a copy of Kanye's deposition in the lawsuit filed against him by a paparazzo whom he attacked at LAX. :
Nate Goldberg -- the lawyer for the photog -- is asking Kanye about a verse from his song, "Flashing Lights" ... rapping about paparazzi and saying, "I hate these n***as more than a Nazi."
Goldberg asks Kanye, "So why did you say that you hate the paparazzi more than the Nazis?"
Kanye responds, "'Cause that's what I wanted to say in that song."
Goldberg: "Well, you understood that the Nazis killed --"
At that point, Kanye's lawyer, a panicked Shawn Holley, interrupts, "Oh my gosh!"
Goldberg: "-- six million Jews."
Holley: "It's really been a long day and we should probably" (she's about to say recess)
Goldberg: "Well I'm not finished."
Goldberg then goes on to explain how it's "legitimate" for him to ask about the song because it shows Kanye's hatred for paparazzi." --
Hmmm--- "I hate these niggas more than a Nazi!" ? You know.. why do parents support not only the anti-Semite position, but also the racist spewings of K(_*_)nye? K(_*_)ne has made a fortune being an (_*_) as a role model for black youths.. like I say.. it's no longer a racial issue, it's a cultural decay.

Online headline: "The Buffalo Bills may get new celebrity owner" -- The Buffalo Bills... you know, that name is probably more offensive to Native Americans than the Washington Redskins. Buffalo Bill Cody got his name for the indiscriminate slaughter of buffaloes which took food out of Native American children's mouths. How about renaming the team the Buffalo Bobs? That way, the NFL could get Howdy Doody as its new puppet Commissioner. Wake me up at the two minute warning.

There's an ad running show a preemie baby with numerous problems, and an actress/mother claiming responsibility because she smoked while pregnant. You know, most mothers of baby boomers smoked and the longevity of life is at its highest. I guess the ad just didn't want to mention/infer what "modern mom" was smoking while pregnant.

L-E headline/story: "Son of retired judge John Allen charged with simple battery, violating oath of office * A former Columbus Police officer was arrested Wednesday and charged with two felony counts of violation of oath of office and two misdemeanor counts of simple battery * Allen is accused of physically assaulting two juvenile burglary suspects who were in custody about 8:30 a.m. April 14, Miller said. Allen was a corporal in the fugitive unit of the Bureau of Investigative Services when he responded to a reported burglary at a relative's home on Whippoorwill Lane, Miller said. The alleged burglary was at the home of Allen’s mother * After a foot chase, two officers apprehended two suspects, one 15 and the other 16, * “After the arrests had been made, Corporal Allen Jr. responded to the scene, got into the rear of each patrol vehicle and physically hit and choked the juveniles," -- It's sad, but why do we expect police officers to be numb in the frustrations we all feel with the court system.

Dmitry Medvedev, Mr Flexible messenger for Putin, says Russia is now banning all food stuff from the US, European Commonwealth, the British Commonwealth et al . A crack reporter went so far as to suggest that this may have been a retaliatory revenge move because of US, and UN sanctions..you guess?

Rumor has it that President Factless Shrugged will leave his vacation home on Martha's Vineyard later this month and return to Washington to address crises. On the other hand, it's more likely he will leave his Martha's Vinyard vacation to get a vacation away from Michelle.
---
Online headline: "Metta World Peace changing name to "The Pandas Friend"" -- Good grief.. it's just Ron (_*_)rtest mainstream media "pandering" again...
---
HuffPost headline: "Insane footage of bear walking upright drives everyone nuts" -- Ooops, my bad.. thought someone had caught Factless Shrugged standing up like a man for a change.. on a positive note.. it was about a "bear" not Joe "the BARE" Biden.

Online quote source: "“Success is never on discount. Greatness is never on sale. Greatness is never half off! It's all or nothing! It's all day, every day! Greatness is never on discount!” - Eric Thomas " -- Hmmm.. tell that to Democratic Party supporters when given a choice of a free Obamaphone or OObamaCRAP versus working and paying for it themselves.
---
You know.. When Factless Shrugged extolled his OObamaCRAP plan, he said it would get 30,000,000 more people insured. Well, he claims 8,000,000 actually signed up (unfortunately, a lot of those were signed up with illegal subsidies so many will be kicked out when the correct premiums arrive). Excuse me, but when the plan is to get 30,000,000 out of uninsured status, and 8,000,000 sign up, how can he stand up and say, " Mission Accomplished"?
---
Hmmm this past Spring, Mayor Obamalinson said the roundabout at River Road/Cascade/Bradley Park and Green Island Drive would begin right after the May elections. Aside from it being a future disaster if it is built according to either of the two plans the GA DOT offered, why is she waiting to start now that schools have begun again and the traffic is at its worst?

Online story: "Fifty Gainesville area citizens Thursday night were asked what their top regional transportation planning priorities are and how to pay for them at a community meeting at the Hall Government Center. * John McGuidwin told consultants he wants a Gainesville bypass, but not one that cuts through neighborhoods and would disrupt the community. * “You need a by-pass outside the city, not bringing it into the city,” McGuidwin said. “If you want to keep the community the way it is you don’t want to congest it even more by bringing more traffic in" -- Good grief.. typical liberal.. "I want to eat my cake and have it, too" attitude.. In other words, "not in my back yard".
---
Random thought: It was built it... we named it.. The RiverWalk.. Now it seems that it's used by more bicycles, raft trailers/trams, Segways, and loiterers than "walkers".

Do you know what a 1098-T tax form is? What it is...is a bribe to buy student votes. From what I can decipher, it more or less provides a tax credit for the student "fees'' that are added on to every semesters' bills that are paid by parents or Student Loans, It can put a $2,000-$2,500 bucks (via tax refund) in students hands around Spring Break. Why are not the parents getting this, or why isn't this being paid to the Student Loan originators to reduce the students' loan debt? This is of interest as I just got through paying two different semester tuitions.. one had $1,100.00 in fees, and the other $900.00.. The $900.00 fee is especially egregious as this daughter is an online student, and doesn't even go to campus for which the fees are paying for her activities.

L-E's "Today in history" feature: " In 1942, during World War II, six Nazi saboteurs who were captured after landing in the U.S. were executed in Washington, D.C.; two others who’d cooperated with authorities were spared." -- Hmmm, even liberal favorite FDR had a more effective illegal alien policy than Factless Shrugged!
---
L-E's "Today in history" feature: "In 1974, President Richard Nixon announced his resignation, effective the next day, following damaging new revelations in the Watergate scandal." -- Hmmm, and Nixon was more transparent than Factless Shrugged...
---
L-E story: "DOVER, Del. — The cremated remains of nine victims of a 1978 mass cult suicide-murder in Jonestown, Guyana, have turned up in a former funeral home in Delaware, officials said Thursday." -- Hmmm, a Carter's years memento for reminding Democratic voters what lies in wait for drinking the Kool-Aid too long.
---
L-E headline: "Hawaii hit by earthquake while waiting for hurricane" -- Oooops, my bad.. thought Michelle decided to change her vacation plans from Martha's Vinyard.
---
L-E story: "DALLAS, Ga. — The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that it plans to add dozens of high-resolution cameras along the Silver Comet Trail in the wake of an attack that left a jogger severely injured. * About 47 high-resolution digital cameras would be added at about 21 locations along the trail in the first phase of the project, with more cameras added later." -- Hmmm.. the cameras won't stop muggings, and won't get police there any quicker, but there will be an up-loadable to YouTube/FaceBook memento for the victim. PSST - Make sure our Mayor Obamalinson doesn't see this! She'll want cameras every 5 paces on the bike trail and RiverWhatever.
