Online headline: "American citizen killed in Mali hotel hostage crisis * Islamic extremists armed with rifles and grenades stormed a crowded hotel on Friday, killing 20 people and briefly taking some hostage" -- And Obamageddon and the Democrats feel we should greet/treat Islamist refugees like "tourist"... well jihadist suck as tourist, too.

Online headline/story: "UN calls on states to combat militants in Syria and Iraq *  All able states should join the fight against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq and redouble efforts to prevent further attacks by the militant group, the United Nations Security Council said on Friday." -- Good grief.. guess the UN has given Obamageddon his "out" on the issue.. the UN specified "all ABLE states should join the fight", which give Obamageddon the wiggle room to do nothing.

I have an idea that is a win-win for the citizens of New York City and real Americans... let's declare the UN Building as a "safe space" (like campus protesters are demanding). When the jihadists infiltrate NYC, they would be drawn to the UN for security.. then we replay the videos of the UN condemning  them.. the jihadist then blow themselves up along with the UN building, and G.I. Jillary can finally claim that a video was actually responsible for a terrorist attack!

Let's take Trump's suggestion one step further. Establish a US military controlled  "camp" in Syria. There, let Syrian families enter, and if the men swear allegiance against ISIS, and if they do, allow their wives and children to be transported to another country depending on whether they want to continue Sharia Law or Western law.

Online headline/story: "Pop Warner sacks kids' Disney dreams, despite undefeated season *  Caiya Whitehead, the team mom, told FoxNews.com that the undefeated group of seven, eight and nine-year-olds had just played their first regional playoff game when they learned Nov. 9 that the prize rules had changed. Pop Warner had decided weeks earlier that they would not be awarding the two top teams a trip to Disney, as was the case last year. Instead, they selected two teams at random for the highly-coveted prize" -- Yes! Liberalism has crept into youth football! Instead of a team getting "the big prize" for winning, a team is selected to get "the big prize" for PARTICIPATION!  Well, what did the parents expect.. their children will get school diplomas for participating versus working hard, too. It comes with the territory.

Online story: "The IRS once again has stirred the ire of nonprofit groups, this time with a proposal organizations say could someday require them to collect and hand over the Social Security numbers of their donors.  * Under the proposed rule, the IRS would create an optional filing for 501(c)(3) nonprofits. Those participating would, as part of their yearly report, turn over the Social Security numbers of any donors who give $250 or more to a charity in a given year." -- Whoa!  To begin with, this will not pass muster with the Clintons so we don't have to worry about it coming to fruition, but fraud would run rampant as if IRS requires checks with social security numbers on them. Remember when GA tried to make your social secutity number your driver's license number? I personally joined in the fight to squash that issue.. attaching social security numbers on a bank instrument would certainly be a big a nightmare.

From a fellow BCer:
A veteran in talk radio, Mike Gallagher is the 8th most recognized talk radio personality in the country (The Benchmark Company), is heard by over 2.25 million listeners weekly).

Written by Mike Gallagher, an American radio host and conservative political commentator. He is the host of The Mike Gallagher Show. Many listeners have asked about the, "Obama: It Was You," essay that someone sent me.

Here it is: President Obama:

This is why you didn't go to France to show solidarity against the Muslim terrorists:

It was you who spoke these words at an Islamic dinner - "I am one of you."
It was you who on ABC News referenced - "My Muslim faith ."
It was you who gave $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to re-build foreign mosques.
It was you who wrote that in the event of a conflict -"I will stand with the Muslims ."
It was you who assured the Egyptian Foreign Minister that - "I am a Muslim ."
It was you who bowed in submission before the Saudi King.
It was you who sat for 20 years in a Liberation Theology Church condemning Christianity and professing Marxism.
It was you who exempted Muslims from penalties under Obamacare that the rest of us have to pay.
It was you who purposefully omitted - "endowed by our Creator " - from your recitation of The Declaration Of Independence.
It was you who mocked the Bible and Jesus Christ's Sermon On The Mount while repeatedly referring to the 'HOLY ' Qur'an.
It was you who traveled the Islamic world denigrating the United States Of America .
It was you who instantly threw the support of your administration behind the building of the Ground Zero Victory mosque overlooking the hallowed crater of the World Trade Center.
It was you who refused to attend the National Prayer Breakfast, but hastened to host an Islamic prayer breakfast at the WH.
It was you who ordered Georgetown Univ. and Notre Dame to shroud all vestiges of Jesus Christ BEFORE you would agree to go there to speak, but in contrast, you have NEVER requested that the mosques you have visited adjust their decor.
It was you who appointed anti-Christian fanatics to your Czar Corps.
It was you who appointed rabid Islamists to Homeland Security.
It was you who said that NASA's "foremost mission" was an outreach to Muslim communities.
It was you who as an Illinois Senator was the ONLY individual who would speak in favor of infanticide.
It was you who was the first President not to give a Christmas Greeting from the WH, and went so far as to hang photos of Chairman Mao on the WH tree.
It was you who curtailed the military tribunals of all Islamic terrorists.
It was you who refused to condemn the Ft. Hood killer as an Islamic terrorist.
It is you who has refused to speak-out concerning the horrific executions of women throughout the Muslim culture, but yet, have submitted Arizona to the UN for investigation of hypothetical human-rights abuses.
It was you who when queried in India refused to acknowledge the true extent of radical global Jihadists, and instead profusely praised Islam in a country that is 82% Hindu and the victim of numerous Islamic terrorists assaults.
It was you who funneled $900 Million in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Hamas.
It was you who ordered the USPS to honor the MUSLIM holiday with a new commemorative stamp.
It was you who directed our UK Embassy to conduct outreach to help "empower" the British Muslim community.
It was you who embraced the fanatical Muslim Brotherhood in your quest to overthrow the Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak.
It was you who funded mandatory Arabic language and culture studies in Grammar schools across our country.
It is you who follows the Muslim custom of not wearing any form of jewelry during Ramadan.
It is you who departs for Hawaii over the Christmas season so as to avoid past criticism for NOT participating in seasonal WH religious events.
It was you who was uncharacteristically quick to join the chorus of the Muslim Brotherhood to depose Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, formerly America's strongest ally in North Africa; but, remain muted in your non-response to the Brotherhood led slaughter of Egyptian Christians.
It was you who appointed your chief adviser, Valerie Jarrett, an Iranian , who is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The above provides the basis for virtually everything Obama does.

Fox News should re-examine its relationship with Juan Williams. When NPR dumped him for his comments about seeing Muslims on airplanes, Fox brought him on board full-time. Big mistake..when he was just an occasional guest, he brought interesting and thought provoking alternative commentary, but since he's been on the payroll full time, he's become a ranting one issue liberal. I'm at a point that I just seek alternative entertainment whenever he's on.

From the "could it simply be" department - Online story: "In Light of reports that at least one of the Middle Eastern refugees responsible for the  Paris massacres  had a Syrian passport, it is important to recall a Daily Mail exclusive dispatch earlier this month warning that Germany is “overwhelmed” with false asylum seekers’ Syrian passports. *  Forgery experts admitted they are largely powerless to stop the influx and cannot spot fake documents.  *  Police forgery expert Joerg Aehnlich: ‘I know their documents are false but I cannot give evidence in court that they [the asylum seekers] are not Syrian because I cannot prove it.’ -- "cannot spot fake documents"? You reckon?  Could it simply be that its's because hey are actually Syrian government issued fake ID's for jihadists?

Online headline/story: "Schools sing praise to Allah, create propaganda posters for ISIS *  this week in Huntington Beach, California, a group of seventh graders were forced to learn a song promoting Islam.  *  the teacher used the melody of a song titled, “This is My Fight Song.”  *  And freshmen at Utah’s Salem Junior High School were instructed to create a propaganda poster for terrorist organizations like the Islamic State. * the front page of the project lists “eight reasons why young Muslims join ISIS” and the back page required student to draw a “terrorism propaganda poster.” -- And even though neither event was approved or sanctioned (and the "poster project" was nipped in the bud before it was underway) by the respective school boards/administration, neither teacher was fired..

Online story: "For the first time, the Metro Atlanta Chamber and the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau have separately produced studies that show the city and state could see a negative economic impact of $1 billion to $2 billion if Senate Bill 129 ( sponsored by state Sen. Josh McKoon, R-Columbus, ) passes without civil rights protections. Both groups have actively sought to amend the bill to at least include anti-discriminatory language. * Both studies obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution used the impact of similar legislation in other states to come up with estimates for Georgia and Atlanta. The studies not only show the potential losses to the state, but signal that two muscular business organizations are ready to fight the bill when lawmakers return to session in January. * Senate Bill 129 passed the Senate this year but ran into a blockade in the House Judiciary Committee, where Republicans joined Democrats to add language making clear the bill cannot be used to legalize discrimination against anyone. Supporters said the amendment gutted the bill and they tabled it. * Tom Cunningham, the chief economist for the Metro Atlanta Chamber and author of the study, estimates the state would lose at least $600 million in convention and business travel, and hundreds of millions more if the bill scared away the National Football League, which is expected to award Atlanta a Super Bowl after the new Falcons stadium is built." -- Good grief.. the RFRA basically gives Christians the ability to exercise their religious beliefs at a time when the federal government supports religious beliefs for all other beliefs that aren't Christian, and we have government funded entities trying to undermine Christian beliefs based on unprovable, as well as irrelevant, economic data.. PS - Who believes the AJC worked at obtaining both studies.. I'll put my money of the Chamber and Convention Bureau hand delivering their "surveys"...

Online story: "The Johns Creek City (GA) Council this week approved a resolution that opposes any expansion of MARTA into the city 30 minutes north of Atlanta." -- Hmm.. wanta bet when there will be a federal discrimination law suit filed against this fast growing predominantly white community with rapid growth of affluent citizens of Asian and Black ethnicity for "racism" in wanting not to expose their community to people who ride public transportation?

L-E story: " Three-fourths of the Muscogee County School District’s high schools rank below the Georgia average in overall passing rate on the state’s new and more rigorous standardized tests, according to the Ledger-Enquirer’s analysis. *  The seven high schools below the state average on the Georgia Milestone tests are, in alphabetical order: Carver, Early College Academy, Hardaway, Jordan, Kendrick, Shaw and Spencer. *  The two high schools above the state average are Columbus and Northside." -- Well.. 3/4ths makes it unanimous across the board, but in reality it's closer to 8/10's than 3/4ths. but. with Common CRAP Math that the L-E supports, it's close enough...Now for the unvarnished truth by parsing the graphs and individual school test averages... Wait a minute .. where are the graphs and individual school "numbers" of the points they got like the ones used for the elementary and middle schools?  Are they so bad that Mark Price won't even put them in his story. Did a member of the MCSD/MCSB call in a favor?

Late edition.. the L-E online has finally posted some graphs but not of all the schools (Carver) nor one that demonstrates how the 9 high schools rank as compared to the State Averages. In other words.. the L-E and the MCSD does not want parents/taxpayers to see how bad it really is.

Did you see the Holiday Garbage pick up schedule.. Monday and Thursday pickups will be picked on Monday.. Tuesday and Friday pick ups will be picked up on Tuesday.. you know, if the Mayor was so intent on saving money by eliminating twice  week garbage pick ups, why hasn't she ordered that all garbage pick ups be done on Monday & Tuesday each week so that the trucks get more rest (and time for routine maintenance). A bonus to this is that maintenance personnel could be scheduled only to work on Wednesdays through Fridays, and all garbage truck personnel would only work Mondays & Tuesdays. We could save a whole lot more than we are now.

Jonathan Gruber densely stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " I heard of a group who calls themselves “non gender.” They are demanding “non restrooms” for schools, public places, etc." -- Good grief.. all woman well, all biological women, should set this idiot straight.. letting a guy who feels/pretends he's a woman go into women's public restrooms will mean that real women will have to decide whether the person in front of them was a transgender and whether "she-it" raised the seat then lowered it after doing "she-it's" business or whether "she-it" just failed to raise the seat altogether.

Jonathan Gruber incredibly stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "The human body is designed for 45 years. After 45, the body begins to fail. After 65, it’s over, yet some folks continue. Why?" Hmmm-- Obviously a product of a Common CRAP curriculum taught by an atheist/agnostic Democrat applying for a job for an OObamaCRAP "death panel" position.

Our United Way organization gave the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Chattahoochee Valley over $400,000.00 and now an employee is being investigated for embezzlement. The United Way should cease funding the BOYs and Girls Club until a complete forensic audit is completed and a thorough report is aired publicly, and the culprit(s) are completely exposed and convicted, and restitution can be arranged on his/her/their jail time. Any assets of the culprit(s)  should be immediately frozen.

It wouldn't be bad, either, if community leaders demanded a regrouping of the investigative team that determines whether a recipiient organization has a plan to prohibit such thefts.

FTR: It's now 21 days past the extended deadline for the Whittlesey Road widening project completion date. soon it will be a month.. You know 1 month is 1/6th of the extension the GA DOT gave along with an extra million dollars... you;d think we tax payers should be getting a month of that back in penalties.. Hey, 1/6th of a million is  over $166,000.00. Plus, why should we get penalized for drive time during Christmas?
