Online headline: "Your local bank branch may soon disappear * There has been a 40 percent decrease in bank branches across the U.S. over the last 15 years, and the decline is only expected to escalate" -- Hmmm.. the battle between Minimum Wage and Minimum Rage.. ATM's.. "Access The Money"

HuffPOOPOO headline: "The Greek crisis explained." -- Oooops, my bad.. thought we were going to learn why Teresa Sullivan was still president of the University of Virginia after her sexist stoppage of fraternity functions.

---
HuffPOOPOO headline:: "White Supremacist Donates Thousands To GOP Campaigns" -- On the other hand.. donations by Black Supremacists groupd "Nation of Islam" and the "New Black Panthers" to Democrats are holy....yeah yeah.

I remember the day..no, the shot that endeared me to golf. Dad took me out..I guess I was 10 or 11. One number 1 at the CCC, I squibbed my tee shot right into #18. ..way right...I was less than enthused to continue, but Dad comforted me, and suggested a grip modification and handed me a 4-wood he'd had caddymaster,club maker Howard Pitts cut down for me. I half-heartedly swung but hit it perfectly straight and solid. It climbed and soared over the old oak trees separating #1 & 18, and flew over the corner of the dogleg. Something happens when you catch one like that.. I can still sense that feeling today. Thanks, Dad.

Chambers Bay thoughts:

1 - Dustin Johnson had an eagle putt to win, or if he missed, a birdie to tie for an 18 hole playoff today. He missed..my guess is Johnson just didn't want to play another 18 holes on Chambers Bay..Either that, or whoever was insuring Taylormade's promotion to give a refund on all pre-tournament purchases of its top two drivers if Johnson won, made Johnson an offer he couldn't refuse.

2 - I believe that even if you tossed horse shoes instead of putting, the horse shoes would slide off the greens.

3 - I'm gonna bet that the USGA has a ton of leftover, unwanted Chambers Bay merchandise and it's not gonna move at clearance prices.

4 - Those greens at Chambers Bay are unbelievable..Balls rarely "roll".. they wobble.

5 - Even the "patrons" from the Pacific Northwest were an aberration to the game..From the cheering, I had to wonder if a lot of them had been recruited from some of the golf scenes from "Happy Gilmore".

6 - Jason Day had a 57' putt from the upper level of number #4. He had to aim it perpendicular to the straight line to the hole and let it trickle down to the hole. He hit the putt where he wanted but it bumped left instead of right so it stayed on top of the hill. This is a horrible golf course.

7 - On number 4, Jason Day hit a slight draw off the tee hit in the left side of the fairway. It drifted 40 yards down the slope TO THE RIGHT rough and into the right rough. About the same time, Rory McIlroy hit a nine iron on the 158 yard downhill par 3 #15, and it landed on the green, maybe 20 feet short and it rolled back off the green leaving him a steep uphill 60' putt. This is not golf...at least it's not golf that normal folks would want to be faced with.

8 - You know, the sand in the traps at Chamber Bay golf golf course look like it was bought from a crematorium .

9 - Rumor has that Chambers Bay golf course designer Robert Trent Jones, Jr has been hired to redesign all the "greens" and "hazards" for PUTT-PUTT, and the next camouflage pattern for the Army.

10 - Now I know why the USGA...PGA for that matter...doesn't need to schedule tournaments on the West coast..The last tee time wasn't until dinner time here, and I was ready for bed before they finished.

11 - The first three days, the trains running through Chambers Bay slowed down, even stopped on occasion. Today they seemed to speed up. I guess the engineers wanted to get off the course even more than the golfers.

12 - Even the Fox weather warning/info icon for "Sever Thunderstorms" had rough time on Chambers Bay..the multi-county picture looked like it was part of the course but covered up the hole the golfers were putting at.

13 - You know, if someone stole all the flags from the greens at Chambers Bay, do you think any of the golfers would know where the greens actually are?

14 - Gary Player nailed it when he said the US Open announcers should have to wear lie detectors when praising Chambers Bay. You know, if I wanted to play a course like Chambers Bay, I would only have to drive a few miles, in any direction in GA or AL the day after peanuts or cotton was harvested.

Online story: "During an interview on Thursday, 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton practically blamed Donald Trump for the Charleston massacre by implying that his “inflammatory” rhetoric “could trigger someone who is less than stable.” -- Trump responded: "pretty pathetic"... hmmm.. desperate, too, ...yes, Hillewinsky is indeed those..

Once again.. liberal "Hysterians" don't get the facts right.. The rectangular Confederate Battle Flag.. rally flag of liberal hate, never flew over a slave in the South.. According to The Museum of the Confederacy (http://www.moc.org/collections-archives/flags-confederacy) "The Army of Tennessee pattern battle flag was ordered by Gen. Joseph Johnston in an attempt to standardize the flags carried by the Western Army. This rectangular design with no borders was based on the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag. The Army of Tennessee pattern battle flag was issued to units beginning in January 1864. It incorporated twelve to thirteen white stars on a blue St. Andrew's cross on a red field.", The Emanicpation Proclamation was made in 1862 and took effect on January 1, 1863.

Online story: "Margo Kaplan, a Rutgers-Camden law professor, an NYU and Harvard graduate, took to the op-ed pages to argue that we’ve got it all wrong when it comes to pedophilia. She writes that pedophiles don’t necessarily turn out to be child molesters and that pedophilia is not a choice, i.e. a pedophile might be born that way." -- Oh.. pedophiles are VICTIMS! Or is it that Kaplan believes they are normal and we should welcome them in our society to complete the circle of diversity. Good grief.. Reagan was right.. liberals just know so much that is wrong.

---L-E's "Thought for Today: “If you look at life one way, there is always cause for alarm.” — Elizabeth Bowen, Irish author (1899-1973)." -- Hmmm.. especially if you squint your eyes like a liberal.

Online story: "Heterosexual privilege” is the newest trend beginning at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) thanks to a bulletin board exhibited in one of the campus’s residence halls. * Ogg Hall, home to many first and second-year students, prominently displayed the heterosexual privilege board so that students could read about “benefits automatically derived from being or being perceived as being heterosexual.” -- No wonder libs want to ban the Bible.. God loves us, too.

Remember Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake? Remember her holding back the police force so the rioters had plenty of "space to destroy"? Well, she applied to FEMA for $30,000.000.00 to help fix stuff.. and FEMA said, "NO!". Now, we just hope Obamageddon's pen runs out of 'red ink'.

---
Online story: "In an emotional speech that heaped scorn and blame on America for failing to pass gun control measures while it supposedly perpetuates racism, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said white Americans need to “question our own assumptions and privilege.” -- hmmm.. I guess now Hillewinsky is declaring herself black like that woman in Spokane. Can claims that she was the first black First Lady be far behind? Nah.. just referring to herself as a "Lady" eliminates that.

Random thought: Scientist search for microbes on other planets so they can declare there's life, but a growing fetus in a woman is not considered life...

L-E commentary of Millard Grimes.. " I’d like to have a candidate who fought Congress and the Treasury Department to keep TARP from being a spoils payout to the banks that brought on the crisis." -- "banks that brought on the crisis"? Grimes has traded in his rose-colored glasses for a blindfold.. The Democratic Party . beginning with Carter and pumped up by Clinton and Democrats Frank and Dodd, made laws that would penalize banks/mortgage house if they asked for proof of income to support an applicants desire to buy a home. That discriminated against low income, especially minority, families. That's what created the bubble which burst!

L-E headline/story: "Contaminated soil to be removed from future stadium site * Officials say nearly 20,000 tons of contaminated soil will be removed from the site of a new $10 million minor league baseball stadium in suburban Detroit before play starts." -- Hmmm.. "20,000 tons of contaminated soil will be removed from the site of a new $10 MILLION minor league baseball stadium"? Well, obviously this site was either the home of the Democratic Party or Detroit Council and the contained soil was the result of Democrats realizing they had been caught bankrupting the city. That said, building a $10 Million dollar minor league stadium is a crime in it self. Psst.. don't tell our Mayor TomLYINGson about this..
