From above story: "Despite Obama administration assurances that the transfer of ex-convicts into the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a routine occurrence, immigrant advocates worry they may not receive due process as they leave. * Final deportation orders are in effect for 763 of the foreign inmates, who could be deported within days. The rest will be transferred to immigrant detention centers to await orders." -- "advocates worry they may not receive due process"? Hmmm.. how can we reassure them..I know.. confiscate their passports, and give them companion bunk beds in the detention centers, plus one way companion tickets, and let them deal with other countries' treatment of illegal aliens.. remember Sgt Tahmooressi?

Oh. looks like we getting another Halloween "trick" Remember that extra 6 months and additional $1,000,000.00 that the GA DOT gave the contractor to finish the Whittlesey Road widening project? Even Gomer Pyle wouldn't say, "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise" when heard this.. GA DOT bids should include "completion clauses" that include penalties and performance bonds for work not completed on time.

To make it a complete Halloween "hat trick". we took our 3 year-old granddaughter to the movie last night... to see "Hotel Transylvania 2.. Talk about a Halloween trick...it cost $48.59! And that's only the beginning of the Halloween trick! Remember when you used to pay a set price for a ticket and all the taxes were already included in that price? Well, no more.. Now, Carmike has started adding on the 8% local/state sales taxes onto all the tickets and concessions prices.. on top of that, there are new higher prices as well... the Senior tickets are now $7.56 ($7.00 plus .56 in sales taxes) and the ticket for our 3-year-old was $8.91 ($8.25 plus .66 in sales taxes). Oh, and the "kids pack"... that extra pricey purchase so kids will have their own snack to amuse them.. it is now $8.64 ($8.00 plus .64 in sales taxes) .. guess some people had already experienced this because there was a mostly empty theater and parking lot when we left at 8:30.
---
Afterthought... remember the theater boxes of candies you can buy at Target for $1.00 plus tax that Carmike sold at $4.00 including taxes? Well, now Carmike is charging $4,00 plus .32 in sales taxes.. new price for the $1.00 box of candy is $4.32....If you buy one in the future, I'd start looking for the expiration date and carry a "Swifter" refill to wipe the dust off.
---
Another afterthought.. it cost $17.55 to take our 3-year-old to see a movie, and she was ready to see it "again" as we left.. I think that before we take our 3-year-old to a movie again, we will just wait intil the DVD comes out and buy a copy we can watch with her to her heart's content... and save a ton of money.

Hmmm.. remember the prep schooler who sexually assaulted a 15 year old girl as some sort of Senior ritual.. and that he and his attorney's had rejected a plea bargain deal that would have seen him get only 30 days of jail time and not having to register as a sex offender? Well, the sentence is in 1 year in jail plus a lifetime listing as a sex offender.. I guess we should have expected this.. seems John Kerry went to the same prep school, and we've seen how well he negotiates a deal..hmmm....as a parent, I do believe i\I'd pull my child out of school there.

Yesterday, we got word that Obamageddon is not going to release the e-mails between G.I. Jillary and the White House until after he leaves office, and this morning we are reading about a District Judge named a Colleen McMahon threatening to "hammer" McDonalds if it give all its e-mails to the labor relations board. * Friday, Judge McMahon in Manhattan accused the company of "playing games" in order to avoid complying with a subpoena from the National Labor Relations Board seeking documents from workers who deal directly with franchisees, which the company says would be irrelevant and costly.. Wait a minute.. why hasn't the Benghazi Committee sent its case against G.I. Jillary to Judge McMahon?

Good grief.. did you watch or hear about that newly released 1990 interview with Tiger Woods when he was 14? This quote is bothersome, ""Every time I go to a major country club I can always feel it. Always sense it. People always staring at me. 'What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here.' When I go to Texas or Florida you always feel it. They say 'What are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here.' And that's probably because that's where all the slavery was." Unbelievable! If people were "staring at him" it was because not only was he a celebrity by then, he had an unbelievably good golf game, and people stared at him as they would if Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino and Gary Player had driven up and wanted to play golf. Tiger Woods' daddy must have really done a number on young Tiger!

Online story: "A jury has awarded $240,000 to two Muslim men who say they
were fired from an Illinois trucking company after refusing to deliver alcohol."
-- Good grief... Hey, what about the bakers who refused "to deliver" a gay
wedding cake for a gay wedding who were fined for standing up for their
religious beliefs!
---
What's Obamageddon gonna do...put new troops into war zones wearing
sneakers do he can claim he's not putting "boots" on the ground?
---
Josh Earnest, current chief liar for Obamageddon, says the new troops will
be there to "intensify the strategies that are working" . Exactly what does that
mean? Certainly they haven't been skilled at crossing red lines drawn by
Obamageddon..are the new troops skilled at bowing or Cross Country retreat?
---
It's about time Obamageddon hires a new press guy...may I suggest the new
one be given the name, Manure Spreader.

Online story: "Gov. Andrew Cuomo canceled two $5,500-a-ticket World Series
fundraisers after being accused of exploiting America's national pastime and
civic pride for a chance to raise cash from wealthy insiders." -- Oh.. but it's
OK for him to make campaign promises that exploit hard working, middle
class taxpayers?
---
Onlline story: "A fourth Iranian-American has been arrested by Iranian
security forces as the country's Islamic Republic begins implementing a nuclear
deal struck with world powers, according to reports.
" -- Good grief.. any American voluntarily going to Iran should get no sympathy from the American taxpayets.. this guy felt he could profit from Kerry's deal.

You know, I'm not against abortions per se..I am against taxpayer funded
ones and those awful partial-birth ones, but I 'd rather for a woman or couple
deal with God about the choice, rather than have back-alley ones as the
alternative to sanitary facilities. I'm also wondering why the activist
advocates for them aren't being questioned on "how they feel" about why their
mothers chose life over abortion.

Just thinking about this sent shivers up my spine.. when John Beohner
stepped down, it reminded me that if Obamageddon and Biden had both become
incapacitated to be president of the US, John Beohner would have been made
president.. I don't feel that queasiness knowing Paul Ryan in next in line after
Biden...Obamageddon needs to examine his Secret Service entourage for
efficiency.

Online headline/story: "Hillary Clinton to call for ban on racial profiling
in Atlanta * Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton will roll out
new criminal justice reform policies in Atlanta on Friday as she tries to
maximize her advantage with minority voters over Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie
Sanders." -- Good grief.. G.I. JILLary needs to curtail her racially profiled
campaign promises!
---
Instant headline repeat: ""Hillary Clinton to call for ban on racial
profiling in Atlanta" -- Yeah.. every white person ought to be treated fairly,
too.

I get angrier at UWG the more I think about what they are charging for 12 x
30ish dorm rooms that are mandatory for freshmen.. an 8 month (two semesters)
use cost $5,800 each for two students.. that's a "cell" with two twin beds, one
bathroom area and utilities.. that's $1,450.00 a month that the parents are are
having to cough up for rooming for their young adults..that's robbery.... unless
you want to call it blackmail? There's no other way to describe it.

Jonathan Gruber triple-double, no. incredulously extra stupid LIV's L-E
"soundoff": " All American products manufactured abroad should be taxed when
coming into the U.S. to support all of our laid-off workers." -- Firtst.. it's
not about American products.. it's products made in other countries to be
imported into America, but to do so would raise prices so much that most people
couldn't afford them.. Now, what would work is eliminating unions.. .. uniform
wages not only boost the costs for products. they demoralize the most productive
and skilled workers so product quality also drops. Just recently, a Washington
State company's CEO/owner made his own and everyone else's salaries $70,000.00
regardless of their contribution to the company.. and top producers became
resentful of being paid the same as mediocre ones. In time.. that company will
fail...
---
Another one of those above LIV's L-E "soundoff": " The Benghazi hearings
have nothing to do with integrity or a search for truth. It is a political event
to affect the election and has spent over $8 million in taxpayers’ money." --
What's happening is a battle of strength as to whether the truth is revealed and
integrity is returned to the government of the people.. When you side with the
Democrats, you're bringing about the same slow death as the company mentioned
above.
---
L-E headline: "Obama welcomes budget, debt deal to keep government open" --
And why not.. Obamageddon gets to add another Trillion dollars to the National
Debt all the way through the next election with which he can buy more votes to
keep the White House under Democrat despotism..

L-E commentary: "Commentary: John A. Tures * Ben Carson’s irony oblivion *
Dr. Ben Carson wants to use the U.S. Department of Education against what he
thinks is “extreme political bias.” Given that I’ve publicly disagreed with him
at times in my columns, I fully expect to be in his crosshairs for writing them.
* In a recent interview with Glenn Beck, Carson told him, “I actually have
something I would use the Department of Education to do. It would be to monitor
our institutions of higher education for extreme political bias and deny federal
funding if it exists,” according to the Daily Beast." -- I finally agree with
this associate professor's commentary.. he does need to be eliminated from
teaching his opinions as history.
---
L-E headline/story: "SEX OFFENDER CAUGHT AFTER HIGH-SPEED CHASE * He was
charged with multiple traffic violations stemming from the incident, including
disregard of traffic control device, duty to report, driving with driver’s
license suspended, failure to maintain lane, failure to exhibit proof of
insurance, leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving, stopping in the
street and striking a fixed object, according to a report. * He also was
arrested on the warrants issued prior to the wreck, which included failure to
register as a state sex offender, violation of probation, sexual battery, theft
by deception, theft by receiving stolen property, false statement and false
imprisonment." -- Hmmm.. and what about the car.. was it his, and how did he get
possession of one without a drivers' license?.. Or maybe was it stolen, and he
hasn't been charged with that, or perhaps it belonged to a friend/family member
of his who didn't check or care that he had a drivers' license. If it was his..
why wasn't it confiscated when his license was suspended? If it was stolen,
where is the grand theft auto charges on it? If it belonged to someone else who
allowed him to drive it without a license, where are the charges for aiding and
abetting a known felon? These are questions the L-E doesn't ask.
---
L-E headline: "SPENCER FOOTBALL * Greenwave closing in on history * Spencer
needs one win in final two to clinch winning record" -- Hmmm wouldn't it be nice
if the L-E, and the MCSD/MCSB were more interested in Spencer becoming a winner
in the classrooms.
