Soapbox Moment: These lynch mod mentality responses to "police abuse":

Crime is Crime...period, While abuse by police should not .. must not, be tolerated.. neither should the police be victimized because they wear "blue" . They have families they wish to return home to at the end of their day. They have a sworn duty to uphold the laws of their nation, state, community, and God. They are humans as well, and have human frailties and limitations, too. They are necessary because of people who will not restrain themselves within the expectations of their communities. They have an expectation that people respect the badge/uniform they wear. They have a right to expect community support from the citizens they work for. They should get the benefit of the doubt when faced with the possible loss of their own lives versus criminals violating laws. This is what should not be diverted from the issue!

Take Baltimore.. since the end of the curfew following Freddie Gray riots.. since the Baltimore Attorney General arrested the police officers involved, since the presidential emissary, the DOJ's Attorney General joined in the circus, there have been 50 +/- shootings (10 each this past Thursday and Sunday alone) NOT involving police officers in any capacity. Where is the mainstream media coverage.. where is the Attorney General's and DOJ's outrage? Where is Al Sharlatan? Where are the arrests? Where is there a sign of Baltimore citizens ready to start voting for accountable leadership? Dream on...

---

You know...there are 2 places I'd actually like to see Al Sharlatan show up with his "Black Lives Matter" signs/protesters... on the streets of south Chicago, and at Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinics anywhere.

When Obamageddon opens his Presidential Library in south Chicago... don't you reckon all borrowers will have to have "photo IDs"? Why not voters?

There's a poll from a group that shows Harriet Tubman is its choice to replace Andrew Jackson,, PRESIDENT Andrew Jackson, on the US $20.00 bill. I have another solution.. keep Jackson on the $20.00, but create a $19.99 bill for a woman's picture.. Women who hesitate to break $20.00 bills would flinch at doing so with a $19.99 one.. it would be like it's on sale.

I think there needs to be a referendum on whether Tom Brady should be suspended from the NFL, versus Hillewinsky being suspended from any more federal jobs.

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Report: Amtrak train didn't have safety system" -- Good grief.. nothing the government dreams up or controls have safety systems.. why would AMTRAK be any different?

---

You know..AMTRAK is suppose to be a mass transit form of transportation for the masses...how come it has First Class tickets/cars? Are some of the masses more equal than others?

---

You know... First Class accommodations on AMTRAK seem to be conflictory seeing as AMTRAK does not run at a profit, and taxpayers are forced to supplement First Class riders.

AP Online story: " Senators reached a deal Wednesday to move forward on President Barack Obama's trade agenda only one day after Democrats embarrassed him by blocking it. * Lawmakers said roughly a dozen Senate Democrats agreed to let full-blown debate begin after both parties' leaders consented to tweak the package that failed on a procedural vote Tuesday. Those Democrats' votes were the difference between blocking the agenda and letting it move ahead." -- "Democrats' votes were the difference between blocking the agenda and letting it move ahead"? I'm almost speechless.. some news source other than Fox has stated what has always been the case.. Democrats, whether in the minority or majority have always been the party of gridlock and stumbling blocks when it comes to helping our economy to grow and jobs to be created.

Online headline/story: "House approves bill banning late-term (partial birth) abortion * The near party-line 242-184 vote marked a victory for anti-abortion lawmakers and organizations." -- Marked a victory for whom? This just makes infanticide the criminal act of what it is.. murder. I do not think abortion in general are a legislative moral issue because its a personal relationship issue for people with God, but God spoke specifically about murder. Snuffing life from a fully developed, ready for life baby is a crime of murder.

Online headline: "Marvel debuts new female Thor" -- Good grief.. what a gender fiasco.. THOR is and always should be a male.. Years ago, when softball was introduced in the Little League program I was involved with, the Board voted to use the same team names that the baseball teams used.. I had no problems with names like Foxes, Cubs, or even Tigers.. but I was a little skeptical about calling our little girls Lions, Beavers, or Rams.

Spring Break for March 2016, Panama City, FL will curtail alcohol on the beach, drinking in parking lots, and shutting down alcoholic sales at 2:00 AM. Hmmm..Teens will flock to PC, and Panama City coffers will soar on alcohol arrest fines.

Online story: "On the campaign trail, Hillary threw out a line that was such total and complete bullshit that even The Washington Post had to call her on it. * At a roundtable discussion in North Las Vegas, Clinton made the claim that illegal immigrants pay more in taxes than “some corporations. * Said Hillary: "The facts are really clear, we know how much people who are working hard contribute to our economy both in what they buy and what they pay in taxes. In fact, in New York, which I know a little bit about because I represented it for eight years and I live there now, our undocumented workers in New York pay more in taxes that some of the biggest corporations in New York.” -- Good grief.. talk about Hillewinsky not being in touch with anything.. as we speak.. NY is trying to attract businesses back to NY by offering them 10 years of "no taxes" because they left after being obsessively and excessively taxed. Her only aspect of truth is that corporations who come or comeback now will get a tax break to do so, but those corporations will be bringing jobs. Hillewinsky claiming illegals pay more taxes than THOSE corporations is akin to her husband parsing the word "is" as used in his status of "is having sex with his intern".. He could "truthfully" say "No" if the reporter was referring to whether "he is" at that very moment he's in the press conference.

---

You know.. the only difference between Bill and Hillewinsky is that Bill has a way to make himself likable..

Online story: "The Food and Drug Administration is proposing relaxing its blood donation guidelines for gay and bisexual men. * Currently, there is a full ban of donated blood from men who have had sex with men. * Under the proposed recommendations, gay men can donate after abstaining from sex for a year." -- You know.. personally, I think that if blood is properly tested and screened, there should be no problems, but when a person says "I was born this/that way", its a medical claim, and if true, what kind of DNA is in such blood cells. Until that is determined one way or the other, I think the ban should stay in effect.

Yesterday, my bride and I picked up our 3 year old granddaughter at school and took her to the Columbus Museum. We got there at 4:45 and were met with a door signage that the Museum Closed at 5:00. Undaunted, we went in and as we passed through the lobby receptionist, we acknowledged the time and that we would only be there a few minutes as that would about as long as our 3-year old's attention span would tolerate a Museum tour. We went directly to the Chattahoochee Legacy door, and as we approached, a security man came out the door and shut it back before we could go in. When asked if it was open, he said that the museum was closing at 5:00 so the Legacy was closed so that staff could leave at 5:00. There were still 12 minutes +/- 1 until then, and 10 minutes would have been plenty with our granddaughter. To be honest, I do think closing a public museum before most people get off work is not a very inclusive policy, but the main thing I am upset about is that employees were shutting down before 5:00.

If it had been my business, and I observed an employee telling a customer he/she wasn't going to show them anything because he/she was going to be ready to leave promptly once the business closed in 10 or so minutes, I'd have fired the person on the spot.

Obamageddon just labeled Fox News as a pariah...not in such word, but in claiming Fox basically hunts down and finds poor people who complain about the government . Good grief..Obamageddon's narcissism has reached a new depth (or maybe a lack of depth). Even if he points his finger of blame at himself in a mirror, his finger would still point at someone else.

L-E headline/story: "Wine Tasting Mingle to benefit Homeless Resource Network * It is a way to have fun and help a good cause." -- You know.. while I'm sure everyone's hearts are in the right place, it does seem insensitive to highlight one of the addictions that contribute to many of the situations that cause homelessness.
