HuffPOOPOO headline: "How much the fight against ISIS is costing the US" -- Good grief... the HuffPOOPOO is concerned only over how much Obamageddon is spending.. the real cost is how far down the ladder of respect the USA has fallen....

Online headline: "Nobel Prize winner resigns" -- Ooops, my bad... got my expectations raised too high for a moment....

---

Online headline/story: "Prison worker reportedly admits smuggling power tools to escaped killers * Unions representing guards and civilian staff at the northern New York prison where two killers escaped say many have been questioned by investigators but none has been suspended, disciplined or charged with wrongdoing five days after the getaway was discovered" -- Good grief.. unions are more concerned about a corrupt member than the safety of American citizens. The US Supreme Court ought to disband unions... period.

---

Instant repeat: Online headline: "Prison worker reportedly admits smuggling power tools to escaped killers" -- How does someone smuggle in power tools, and give them to prisoners who smuggle them into their cells without a whole lot of union represented employees looking the other way... Who trained theses people.. the TSA?

Online leftist story: "Unlike Hilary (sic) Clinton, who donates her speaking fees to the Clinton Foundation, for use in philanthropic work around the world, Bush’s staff assured POLITICO that “none of what he makes when he does get paid goes anywhere other than his own bank account.” -- Good grief.. what a load of BS! Hillary donates to her own foundation for her own benefit of reducing her high personal income taxes had she claimed them as personal income. There should be an intense IRS audit over her benefiting from the expenses the foundation "pays" for that reduce her personal tax responsibility. Just another Democratic politicians finding ways to benefit by using other people's money. In addition, none of her expense could be paid for by the foundation that aren't directly in the line of duties of the foundation.... that's a law..

---

Online headline: "Favors to foundation donors stretch back to Hillary Clinton’s Senate days * Earmarks, legislative action benefited husband’s benefactors" -- Hmmm.. basic mundane right wing charges... NOT! This comes from the Washington Times...

L-E headline story: "Inaugural Bob Wright Symposium on Business Empowerment will be Aug." 20 * Speakers/luminaries will be: Byron Pitts, Linda Hadley, William F Pickard, Deryl McKissack, Earl Stafford, Emanuel Jones, Russell Wright, Gale Hill, Khary Lewis, Sylvester Hester, Veranda Dickens, and Tommy W. Dortch, Jr. -- I've always respected Robert Wright..from his early days in Columbus' political arena to his rise in Washington politics.. but something is not mentioned here.. His symposium may as well be named "The Black Jimmy Blanchard Leadership Forum". Whether it's intentional or not, it does nothing to promote diversity in the community.

A White House press corp member asked Josh Earnest about a picture showing Obamageddon holding what looks like a pack cigarettes. She asked, "Is President Obama holding a pack of cigarettes?".. Good grief...talk about a Clintonesque question about the definition of " IS".. Josh Earnest probably felt pretty sure, at that moment, that Obamageddon was not holding a pack of cigarettes..Of course, he did not answer whether Obamageddon was holding such in the picture the reporter was referring to...

Escaped murderers "spotted" in Philadelphia? Ya gotta be kiddin'... If the murderers wanted to go to a big city where they could move around without being harassed, they would go to NYC where most of the cops have been pulled off the street.

Sen. Tom Coburn of OK says Jeb Bush has no chance to win because of the electorates' "Bush fatigue"... Is Coburn talking about Jeb or Hillewinsky?

I'm going to start a FB page to honor the late Red McDaniel, and his actual concern for citizens and the quality of life in Columbus. Our roads are pitiful, and Red is no longer our crusader for getting them patched and fixed. My first nomination is "Oates Ave" between 38th St. and Manchester Expressway. Feel free to report your suggestions. Post to "Red McDaniel. We need you"

From the "just when you thought it was safe to get back into the water" department - Online headline/story: "APS report: Atlanta principal changed nearly 150 student grades * Failure was literally not an option at one South Atlanta high school. *Former South Atlanta School of Law and Social Justice principal Charlotte Davis told teachers it just couldn’t happen." -- Good grief.. obviously the penalties given to the first wave had no deterrence impact on other APS officials.. Capital punishment is called for here as D(_*_)vis has obviously "killed" the chances of so many students to matriculate into life.

You know..if Obamageddon's air strikes are geared for "mainscream media" approval versus following good military strategy, then we may as well not do anything at all..remember how bad things went in Vietnam when military strategy was dictated by media discernment?

---

Good grief...Obamageddon wants to send but 450 soldiers into Iraq.. Huh? Is he emulating Alfred Lord Tennyson as his legacy mentor...."into the valley of death rode the 450".

---

You know..photo ID's should be required to register for and vote in every state.. We require photo ID's for every other Constitutional right, so why should one of the most valuable be excluded?

L-E headline/story: "Mayor gets mixed reaction in first assessment freeze forum " -- Hmmm.. must be because some people other than her staff attended.

---

Instant repeat - L-E headline/story: "Mayor gets mixed reaction in first assessment freeze forum * Tomlinson said one challenge the freeze presents for Columbus is it is in effect a “welcome stranger” tax, placing an inequitable property tax burden on people moving to the city." -- Good grief.. the "inequitable property tax burden" is the one Mayor TomLYINGson wants to put on the burden of newcomers and first time home buyers.. both groups will know that their taxes can, and probably will, go up annually whenever Council or a Mayor wants more money to build an unneeded or negative-revenue-producing project.!

---

Have you noticed how hypocritical the L-E is? When higher taxes are an issue the L-E feels will make a good impression on potential businesses and citizens to come to Columbus to live (right...NOT), that opinion is blasted on the front page, yet other days, the L-E seems to blast those same "potential investors" with the "Crime de jour" while editorializing that Columbus is nearly "crime free".

Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "The War on Drugs is a failure, though our government spends approximately $51 billion each year on it. Tax revenue generated by the legalization of marijuana would be approximately $47 billion. Huh?" -- Spoken like a true Kool-Aid drinker.. no facts, and no regard for the costs on families destroyed by drug abuse.

---

L-E story: " Gov. Rick Snyder on Thursday signed a law letting private adoption agencies with state contracts decline to participate in referrals against their religious beliefs, despite criticism that it amounts to government-sanctioned discrimination against gay couples." -- Good grief... how can "parents" raise adopted children in an environment that excludes being able to define role modeling or being able to convey an ability to assimilate into normal relationships with the opposite sexes?

Other than Brookstone.. how come it cost more to pay for a year in local public schools per student than it does for parents to send their children to local area private schools?
