Online headline: "'King of the Blues' B.B. King has died at age 89" -- A moment... a long moment of refection and warm memories.
---
B.B. King... died... not the Boo Boo King in the White House.. we won't have memories .. warm or otherwise.. of him until January 2017.

You know,, what's really sad is that if Hillewinsky wins in 2016, we might miss Obamageddon by 2018....nah...

Online headline: "Official: Amount of money VA wastes is 'staggering' * A memo on Thursday revealed the department spends at least $5 billion yearly on illegal purchases, exposing it to 'fraud, waste and abuse." -- How disgusting... Since 2001, 37,000+ US military men and women have been killed or wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq.. at $5,000,000,000.00 wasted by the VA annually, that's $30,000,000,000.00 in the 6 years of Obamageddon calling the shots. That's over $800,000.00 per killed or wounded soldier that the VA has wasted under Obamageddon alone. After all of those involved are fired, all new purchasers should be HQ'd in an office building overlooking Arlington National Cemetery where both buyers and sellers must see visual proof of men and women who sacrificed their all for the USA. Maybe the guilt of cheating them will work better than just the honor system.

Online headline: "Gulf tensions rise as Iran fires shots at tanker" -- Looks like Iran has crossed another red line drawn by Obamageddon....we need a man in the White House as soon as possible!
---
Online headline: "Jobless Claims Near 15-Year Low" -- Whoa... not so fast with the celebrations... 264,000 last week is still on an annual rate of over 13 MILLION.. and don't forget, we are at an all time high of the number of adults not working/not looking for work in history plus only 44% of working adults are doing so 30 or more hours per week.

While a white woman principal in a GA high school got fired for her "racially insensitive" remarks, an incoming black woman assistant professor of sociology and African-American studies Boston U has been given a pass for "indelicate" tweets blasting white men. She tweeted in recent weeks that "white masculinity" is THE problem for america’s (sic) colleges, that white men are a "problem population,” and that “Every MLK week I commit myself to not spending a dime in white-owned businesses." Her soon-to-be boss, Boston University president Robert Brown, a white male, responded, "“We are disappointed and concerned by statements that reduce individuals to stereotypes on the basis of a broad category such as sex, race, or ethnicity," * Brown wrote in a blast e-mail to the "Boston University community." "I believe Dr. Grundy’s remarks fit this characterization,” * Then Brown said in a statement. * Boston University says no action will be taken against Grundy, saying that the tweets are her free speech. She will start working at the university in June." -- Forget the bias of describing one remark as "racially insensitive" and the other as "indelicate", will someone ask Dr Brown whether the GA high school principal has a right to free speech as well?

Online story: "A New Jersey public school teacher who instructed her third-grade students to write “get well” letters to a convicted cop killer was fired at a raucous school board meeting that stretched into the wee hours of Wednesday morning, despite her pleas that “there’s a community behind me.” -- Good grief.. well her "community" needs a swift kick in the ass! Wanna bet whether Al Sharlatan is in her "community"?

Online story: "JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – School officials say two students have been shot on a school bus in Florida. * Both victims were taken to the hospital, and the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says the injuries are not life-threatening * Duval County Public Schools spokeswoman Tia Ford says two people fired shots at the school bus. She says it is not clear if the people who fired the shots were students or adults. The suspects are described as black males in their late teens, one of them shirtless, according to the Sheriff's Office. * Ford says the bus serves three alternative educational schools in the area of the shooting." -- Two teens firing shots at a bus that services "alternative" schools... wonder if any of the suspects or wounded could have looked like Obamageddon's "son"? Hey, Al Sharlatan... hey, NAACP... where are you! To boot.. this is not the only school bus shooting in Jacksonville in the last 6 months. A 16 year-old was shot and killed in December.

Soapbox moment: "Since a new SPLOST was passed, and most, if not all, projects were guesstimates at best, then when each project is started under the general umbrella of the funds sought, an audit of what is actually spent should be done. If an audit shows such a project was done under the guesstimate, then the unused funds should be escrowed rather than spent on other things, and such amounts then be used to reduce the next years property tax. For example, when slab based, metal buildings for wrestling and weight rooms are guesstimated at $312.00 a square foot, then there should be plenty unspent.. and if not, there should be a complete audit of where the money actually went.

Online story: "ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos never disclosed to his network -- or viewers -- $75,000 in contributions he made to the Clinton Foundation in recent years, even as he waded into covering Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and foundation controversies." -- Why is this man still employed by ABC? Sad thing is that I really don't believe other mediaites or executives at ABC didn't know this.. it's a ego thing.. now, did he deduct the donations on his tax forms?

L-E headline/story: "Construction crew working on improving Chattahoochee whitewater wave shaper * Scott Bridge Co. was the original construction company to build the nearly $25 million course that was created by the demolition of the Eagle & Phenix and City Mills dams. The work that is being done now will cost more than $50,000, Bishop said. It should be completed by the end of next week. * In addition to that work, three stadium-style lights have been installed on the Eagle & Phenix powerhouse, allowing the kayakers to frolic in the river past dark. The lights have been operating until 11 p.m." -- Well, neither the replacement wave-breaker nor light work cost were disclosed as to who (like we don't know) is paying there's another issue. Adding stadium lights for night kayaking? I'm sure this is appreciated by the wildlife...NOT!..Oh, what's next. A kayak-through beverage station ?

Obamageddon still feels that people who are successful in business ..successful in life...are merely "life's lottery winners" . you know, coming from someone who gas never held a job responsible for producing a revenue stream that pays the salary of himself and his employees, I guess people who have earned their successes do look like they are "lottery winners" to people who have no ethics..work nor moral.

You know.. one thing must haunt.. well, maybe "haunt" isn't the best word, but one thing must be on every person's mind (the women, the fathers, the medical personnel) at some time in their life who decides to participate in an abortion: What was God's plan for this child? It could have been that a woman was chosen to birth a baby for another couple to raise...

Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "You need to remember that Mary and Joseph, and later Jesus, chose to ride a donkey, not an elephant, everywhere they went. That tells me a lot." -- Well, there they go again.. the donkeys had no clue where they were, where they were going, or who they were carrying...

L-E's " Thought for Today, “Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.” — Emily Dickinson, American poet (born 1830, died this date in 1886)." -- Hmmm this even better advice when you apply it when considering whether to re-elect a politician.. especially a Democrat because they never plan to complete the promises they make to buy votes.
