HuffPOOPOO headline: "Obama Spends Earth Day In The Everglades, Taunting Republicans On Climate Change" -- Well, Obamageddon and the Republicans actually have something they can agree on.. "climate change"...of course, the Republicans want to concentrate on "climate change" in Washington, DC,.. which is actually something man can do something about in 2016.

HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Clinton Charities Will Refile 5 Annual Tax Returns, May Audit For Other Errors * Hillary Clinton's family's charities are refiling at least five annual tax returns after a Reuters review found errors in how they reported donations from governments, and said they may audit other Clinton Foundation * critics say the foundation makes Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, vulnerable to undue influence." -- You know.. there's another aspect, an even bigger problem here than what's being reported.. those government donations.. which countries are paying the Clintons? If any of those countries receive "foreign aid" from the US, and they send money to the Clinton Foundations, then US tax dollars are being diverted to the Clintons.

Hillewinsky is reviving the Clinton fall back plan on handling scandals.. The new book ,"Clinton Cash" is being trashed as a right-wing Republican conspiracy. Of, course, she doesn't actually refute the claims in the book.
---
That book.."Clinton Cash... It's not about whether Hillewinsky gave favorable treatment to countries/politicos in exchange for "gifts" to her foundation; it's about whether she used US assets in exchange for "gifts" to her foundation.

Online story: "The Senate unanimously passed legislation Wednesday to help the victims of human trafficking, ending a tortuous partisan standoff over abortion that also delayed confirmation of President Barack Obama's attorney general nominee. * The vote was 99-0 to approve the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act, which expands law enforcement tools to target sex traffickers and creates a new fund to help victims. The House has passed similar legislation and the White House has voiced support." -- While I'm not pleased with Lynch's confirmation guarantee, it will get Pric Holder out of the DOJ, and hopefully, Lynch will only serve for the next 21 months or so.. but I am concerned over the non-detailed "new fund to help victims".. this could be a money pit for tax dollars.

There's a new report showing growth of the SNAP food stamp program at a time when the economy is supposedly improving. This is an aberration. at best, but basically a condemnation of the Obamageddon administration's lack of economic grasp. One state's figures were more disturbing than most.. Washington State... liberal bastion.. home of two of the most dynamic and largest companies in the world.. Boeing and Microsoft.. Washington is also a state that has legalized marijuana for recreational use, and a $9.47 minimum wage ( with pockets of $15.00 per hour). ... Now.. the double-take... Washington State has a population of $7 Million yet 1.1 Million are participating in the SNAP (food stamp) program. There, in what can only be described as an experiment in liberal Utopia, 1 in 7 Washingtonians is on an entitlement program. Washington State should be the Republicans' "poster child" for how inefficient a government controlled economy looks like.

Online story: " An associate dean of students at the University of Virginia says a discredited Rolling Stone article caused her professional and personal harm by portraying her as insensitive and unresponsive to an alleged victim of a gang rape. * Nicole Eramo said in an open letter Wednesday that the magazine has not done enough to make amends for the damage it caused." -- Hmmm. and U-Va president, Teresa Sullivan has not made enough amends to the gender discrimination she inflicted on the entire campus fraternity system!

Those self-braking cars we see advertised.. they have possibilities of being potential life-savers. Right now, though, having a car with these system may be more dangerous for the driver/occupants. Example: you are driving on a street and an oncoming out-of-control car swerves into your lane and is going to hit you head on. That car stays at the same speed, while your car, sensing an object getting to close, successfully automatically brakes you to a complete stop. Now the other vehicle will hit you like a sitting duck.

McDonald's is closing even more in China, Japan and America stores than it previously announced was its goal. These are purportedly poor performing units, but McDonald's is more of a victim of its own designs.. well, redesigns. Remember when McDonald stores were bright. colorful, and eye-catching? So eye-catching that when your kids saw one, they screamed that's where they wanted to eat ( read: Happy Meal with FUN toy), and you pulled in to quiet them down.. well, now the stores look like they want to blend into the surrounding area. Going or gone are the Golden Arches... instead, some swoopy line that looks the same as a Midas or Mattress Factory outlet sign is the only attractant and kids want nothing to do with that, so they don't scream "stop", and parents gratefully drive on by.. Hey, McDonald's.. you need to stop and smell the McCafe!

Rumor has it that the Benghazi report will be published close to the 2016 velection time period. Speculation has it that the report will be named, "BenGOTCHA".

NOLA.. known the Sugar Bowl.. Bourbon Street, Mardi Gras, New Year's Eve street cocktail parties has just become another large city of blah... NOLA has now banned smoking , well at least tobacco and e-vapes, in bars..NOLA may become NOGO.

Good grief...that Islamist terrorist captured by the French had automatic weapons in his car and "plans" to hit Christian churches. It was also revealed that following the "Charlie Hebdo" assault, the French had officers guarding/protecting mosques around Paris but not Christian churches. That makes sense, doesn't it...NOT!
---
From the "what's actually worse" department ...what's worse, Obamageddon lying to the American people, or Democrats voting for him any way?
---
So, Obamageddon has ordered US Navy ships to the Gulf of Yemen ..purportedly to stop illegal arms shipments into countries supporting terrorism. I guess he feels it'll be even easier to "draw lines in the water" that disappear even quicker than the ones he free in the sand.

Online story: "Governor signs failing schools bill; opponents call it a gimmick " -- Hmmm.. I think I'd first be looking into the school systems the critics represent...
---
Online story: "Owners of commercial buildings in Atlanta will be required to keep track of the electricity and water they use and report the data under an sustainability ordinance approved unanimously by the city council. * The ordinance, developed by Mayor Kasim Reed’s Office of Sustainability, aims to reduce commercial energy consumption in Atlanta by 20 percent by 2030 and create more than 1,000 jobs annually during the first few years it’s in effect." -- Good grief! How can reducing energy use create jobs? New/more jobs are usually boosters of energy use! Just another blatant example of how Democrats have no idea how to create jobs or boost the economy...

L-E headline/story: "Civic Center gets "Bike Friendly" designation * The League of American Bicyclists has named the Columbus Civic Center a Silver Bicycle Friendly Business, making it one of only two entities in Georgia to earn the distinction this year. * The Civic Center currently offers covered bike parking, staff assisted bike repairs, free skate rentals, free popcorn at arena events, shower facilities and courtesy bike patrols." -- Wait a minute.. what's this "free" stuff.. ain't nothing "free".. it cost taxpayers, and the Civic Center is not a break-even operation to begin with. The Civic Center already gives Council and certain City employees "free" event tickets..what's next "free" buses to the Whitewater site or Natatorium where taxpayers will lose even more money?
---
You know.. bicycling is a form of transportation, and public money is wistfully spent on trails and such, but the state nor city receive any form of payment for such services.. how about a license tag for bicycles (as required of motorcycles and other vehicles), and a driver's license add on fee for using bicycles as well as cars/trucks? Oh.. and how about parking fees!
---
Instant repeat: L-E headline/story: "Civic Center gets "Bike Friendly" designation" -- Good grief.. wouldn't we be better off if the Civic Center was designated "profitable"?

---
L-E headline: "Suits against city have cost taxpayers almost $500,000" -- Looks like $500K Mayor TomLYINGson says she could save cutting back garbage pickups won't be enough to pay for her 'garbage" budget errors.
---
L-E story: "A proposal in South Carolina would add death by firing squad to the state’s list of approved execution methods. * The bill was introduced Wednesday and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. * Lethal injection is the default method of execution in South Carolina; inmates may also choose electrocution." --
Love it! For all those lawyers who seem to think it matters that a lethal cocktail injection be ;labeled for contents.. offering a choice between Winchester and Remington bullets simplifies the process.. Of course, if electrocution is the choice.. SC could offer nuclear, wind or solar...
---
L-E story: "Two Rotary Club teams, one of runners and another on bicycles, left the Columbus Convention & Trade Center early Wednesday morning to start the Columbus Rotary Relay to Jekyll Island — part of the International Rotary “End Polio Now” campaign." -- Wait a minute.. "End Polio Now"? I remember distinctlt when the March of Dimes declared polio was basically cured, and instead of disbanding, took on other causes of more emotional responses... other baby issues. Has the MOD just washed it's hands on what it was created to "cause: for, or was it an Obamageddon type "Mission Accomplished" lie?

L-E headline: "8M PHONE CALLS UNANSWERED AS IRS CUT TAXPAYER SERVICE" -- Bet most of those were looking for Lois Lerner.....
