Here's a solution for peace in the Middle-East...finally: Elect Trump. Trump would then deport the 11,000,000 + illegals which would make immediate room to allow the entire population of Israel and Christians throughout the area to be brought to the US (along with their $300 BILLION + GDP), then build a fence coated with bacon around Israel itself yo keep jihadists refugees out, then carpet bomb the entire area outside of Israel. Yeah... that's the ticket!.

HuffPOOPOO "headlie"/Colin C(_*_)mpbell "story": "Trump links rival to child molesters in scathing speech" -- Good grief.. no where close to the truth...the article was more accurate.. but not correct nor totally truthful.. in other words, the "the blackest of lie.. the half-truth". Quote from the article: "But Trump apparently thinks Carson never got better. The business mogul generated headlines earlier in the day when he compared Carson's "pathological" temper to child molesters during a CNN interview. He doubled down on that comparison during his Thursday-night speech in Iowa. * "I don't want to say what I said, but I'll tell you anyway. I said that if you're a child molester — a sick puppy, you're a child molester — there's no cure for that. There's only one cure; we don't want to talk about that cure. That's the ultimate cure," Trump told his supporters. "If you're a child molester, there's no cure. They can't stop you." Obviously, Trump did say what he said, but a reporter merging two different comments totally.. and intentionally, destroys the context of what was said.

Online headline/story: "U.S. Secret Service officer arrested in child sexting sting * A U.S. Secret Service officer assigned to the White House was arrested this week after he sent naked pictures of himself to someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl, according to a criminal complaint. * THe (_*_) turned himself in to Maryland State Police on Monday and faces charges including solicitation of a minor, according to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Delaware. * The complaint details a series of pornographic online chats starting in late August between The (_*_) and a Delaware State Police detective posing as a 14-year-old girl. * The (_*_) sent naked photos of himself to the undercover officer and asked to meet in person to have sex, according to the complaint. * In an interview with police, Moore admitted to communicating with the person while he was working at the White House, the complaint said. * The Secret Service, the agency that protects the president, has placed The (_*_) on administrative leave, according to the complaint. -- Good grief! " First question I had was, "did The (_*_) work on Clinton's team?". The second was "why wasn't The (_*_) fired on the spot and arrested?". The third one was "is this what Obamageddon defines as hiring diversity?".

Online "headlie": "'Real progress': Percentage of U.S. smokers plummets, CDC finds" -- Another of those "blackest of lies... the half-truth". THe CDC is talking only about cigarettes of tobacco.. e-Vapes and marijuana aren't included...what's happening is that cigarette smokers are seeking alternatives that aren't taxed as heavily as cigarettes...which means... in the governments eyes, they are unpatriotic tax dodges!
---
From the above story: "The researchers say it's not clear if products such as e-cigarettes are helping people quit. So far, there's little evidence that they are." -- "there's little evidence that they are"? Good grief... if anything, e-cigs are a gateway, a training tool, to smoking tobacco or marijuana.. I saw a man.. no teen, smoking an e-vape while checking out at a store.. The cashier nor some management personnel standing with her, said one thing.. neither even looked concerned about it.. I hope this isn't a trend that's developing..

Online headline/"headlie"/story: "NFL star gives whopping sum to fast food cashier * Life-changing gift he'll never forget * Marshawn Lynch gave a McDonald's employee $500 to help him buy shoes * The Seahawks running back was recently in a McDonald's where he and an employee named Terrance Downs began chatting about a pair of luxury sneakers made by Buscemi that Lynch was wearing, * Lynch decided to help the Dallas fast-food worker out and handed him $500 to help him pick up his own pair of Buscemis, which retail from $890 and up online." -- Good grief..you gotta be kidding that this made the news as a "blessed event"! I can afford a pair of $890.00 (plus tax I assume), but am smart enough not to spend that much on a pair of sneakers. If Lynch wanted to make a "life-changing" gift, he might have picked up the young man's college tuition so the young man could get a job that pays hiogher wages so that the young man could afford them himself.. The irony is that if the young man had such a responsible job, he wouldn't be spemding $890/00 on "sneaks".. Now, the probabilities, no... realities, are that the young man will not accumulate the balance of money needed to buy those shoes, and will get mugged for the $500.00, or OR.. the young man WILL raise the balance, buy the $890.00 shoes, and his best friends will mug him (or worse) and steal the shoes.

Online headline: "12 foods with more sugar than Krispy Kreme doughnut" -- YES!.. my worst fears are over.. I can eat doughnuts guilt-free as now they can be considered a diet food.!

Online story: "A high school cross country runner wearing a headband with a Bible verse written on it was disqualified after finishing third in the Georgia state championship. * The Georgia High School Association says the disqualification wasn't because of the "religious nature" of the headband. The rules state an athlete's headwear can't have any writing or logos on it." -- Good grief.. how wimpy can the GHSA get.. is there another sport in GA that has the same restriction? Cannot a football helmet or baseball cap have the school name/logo/initials on it? How about jerseys? And shoes.. good grief, I don't know of a single pair of athletic shoes, golf included, that don't have the makers' name on them somewhere.. I hope the young man has that same Bible verse printed on his jersey in the next meet, and see what the GHSA does then.

Online headline: " Foster parents claim judge took away adopted daughter because they are gay" -- Good grief.. what I want to know is how a Foster Child Agency would clear a same sex couple, married or not, qualify to be in charge of other people's children.. I have a hard time with same sex couple using third party surrogates/donors to create a blood-linked child in their relationship.. Now,, for you stone throwers, I know what I am talking about, have such situation in my family..and I deal with it through prayers for my great niece and nephew, and I love my niece and her "spouse" as well. I just don't think.. not even feel, that the circumstance is in the best interest of those children, but ..ut I know God is watching over them.

HuffPOOPOO "headlie": "Donald Trump blasts 'weak, ineffective' leaders" -- Wait a minute,, "weak, ineffective leaders" is a top tier oxymoron! He was referring to the "leaders' at the U of Mizzou who resigned, but, if you throw in "greedy" as another adjective, , it does pretty much describe most Republicans in Congress... and all Democrats as well.

Online headline/story: "CNN Host Tells Donald Trump Illegal Immigrants Pay Billions in Taxes * Burnett pushed back against the real estate tycoon. * “But they pay in taxes, they pay 24 billion dollars in taxes,” she said. * According to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, approximately 11.4 million individuals in the U.S. illegally paid $11.84 billion in state and local taxes in 2012. The conservative Heritage Foundation estimated unlawful immigrant households paid $39.2 billion in 2010, but received $93.7 billion in government services." - You know,, what mainscream media doesn't "understand" is that being here illagally is a crime, and costs us in more way than financially.. Crimes, and the expense of such in prosecution, incarceration, and deportation far outweigh the pittance that any taxes that can be attributed to them.

Students protesting about the high costs of public college education are protesting about the wrong people. It's not business people or other taxpayers driving up the costs, it's the public education/government itself who are causing the increases. My college aged daughter is required to live in a dorm room that's about 12' X 30' (360 sq ft). THis costs us and her roommates parents $5,800.00 for 4 months. That's $1,450.00 a month for two single beds and one bathroom for two people. There's not a luxury apartment/condo in Carrolton, or Columbus that gets $48.00 a sq ft per year rent, yet that's what colleges are charging (in addition to about $250,00 a month for mandatory fees). This gives colleges the cash flow to keep unneeded, unproductive professors employed.
---
Now, I tell you what, after listening to students' reasons for protesting hat they "want, deserve" "free education" , I think it's time to just stop public college education. The teachers have failed the students and the taxpayers.

Good grief.. remember that University of Missouri "student" who caused such an uproar last week claiming white people are privilged and he is oppressed... well, he's already a graduate, and is 25 years old taking advanced graduate classes. In addition, his parents are quite well off .. his father is a railroad executive estimated to making a high singled digit multi-million dollars annually in salary, and his mother was a former educator who now runs a non-profit advocacy program. Well, you would think "education begins at home, but obviously their child doesn't remember thsi.. I wonder how many of the "protest joiners" knew this when they gathered in mobbery?

Jonathan Gruber incredibly stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff" : " Not only are
the red states the poorest states, but they must also be the most ignorant,
thanks to the Republicans’ sinister propensity for slashing education funding."
Another one of those \liberals that Reagan warned us about.. you know, the ones
that know so much that isn't so.. It's just that most of the "blue" states' big
cities have become magnets for poverty centers which have warped the balance of
the Electoral College and Congressional representation..

From the L-E's "Today in History" feature: " In 1956, the U.S. Supreme
Court struck down laws calling for racial segregation on public city and state
buses." -- Yes! I remember well... I was 9, and this marked the time that me and
my friends could get on a bus Saturday mornings and get on the back seat so we
could press our faces to the back window and make weird faces at the car drivers
behind us!

From guest L-E commentary, by Alfonza Menefee, probate judge of Macon
County, Ala., who is serving in his 27th year in that office.: " Finally, there
is good news for Macon County. Almost three years since VictoryLand’s closing,
the legal issues are settled: The citizens of Macon County voted in good faith
for electronic bingo and VictoryLand delivered on the citizens’ confidence in
the process. * Now, with Gov. Robert Bentley’s Executive Order 13 that returns
the responsibility of the enforcement of Alabama’s gambling laws to the local
entities authorized by the amendments that approved electronic bingo in the
first place, VictoryLand is moving full speed ahead toward reopening. * The
governor is to be congratulated for acting to bring jobs back to Alabama’s Black
Belt, where they are sorely needed. * Reopening VictoryLand will benefit people
across the Black Belt as a job creator, as a major tourist attraction and as a
company that has paid more than $300 million in local, county and state taxes.
The vastly underfunded Macon County school system has received more than $50
million in taxes from VictoryLand." -- "Macon County school system has received
more than $50 million in taxes from VictoryLand."? -- Good grief.. the Macon
County school system has received $50,000,000.00 taken out of the pockets of
visitors that would have spent that money in grocery stores, gas stations,
dealerships etc, and that $50 Million is only the "tax bite" after the Casino
has taken the lion's share of funds out of county circulation. It's a shame any
judge would gloss over the facts for the pittance Macon County receives.

L-E headline: "ASTROS * Rasmus accepts $15.8 million deal" -- Good grief..
don't you know City Councilor, Glenn Davis, who also spent 7 years with the
Astros and was the NL MVP for three of those seasons, didn't make that much in
his overall 10-year career in "the Show".. a career Rasmus will not equal. No
wonder I have no more interest in pro-sports.
