Random thought: After the number of airplane disasters in recent years, perhaps it's time for technology to be "re-thunk" concerning those "black boxes". Perhaps there should be 1 or two of those things that are placed in ejection tubes, and have protective packaging that will float, and have parachutes that inflate at a certain point above land or sea.

From the "suspicions confirmed" department - Online headline: "Google will soon write your emails" -- Hmmm.. we already know Google has a better driving record with its vehicles, and pretty well knew it was cherry-picking our info from our phones and computers, but now it looks like Google has found a way to read our minds.. Looks like those loonies wearing aluminum "caps" may have been right!

Online story: "Mexico's Supreme Court on Wednesday gave the green light to growing marijuana for recreational use in a landmark decision that could lead to legalization in a country with a bloody history of conflict with drug cartels. * Although not legalizing use of marijuana, it is one the boldest steps ever taken in that direction in a country long reluctant to liberalize drug laws.." -- Good grief.. it's OK to grow it but not legal to use it? Looks like the cartels have bought the Mexican Supreme Court! The cartels don't care whether Mexicans can buy it legally, now they can grow it without repercussions from the police, they can stop paying off police and politicians to look the other way, and can openly farm it for US exportation. We need Trump and his wall....now!

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Activists Pledge To Go After 'SNL' Advertisers Over Donald Trump Appearance" -- Hmmm.. guess fear has set in... some libs just don't want Trump to have an opportunity to present himself and his truths to the SNL audience..

You know.. Matt Bevin winning the Kentucky governor's race with 25% more votes than predicted by polls, and Ohio voters rejecting recreational marijuana by a 2-to-1 margin  must really have the Democratic Party strategists wolfing down Tums....

 You've probably seen what were acts of a patriotic nature honoring our soldiers at professional ball games. You probably thought,  as I did, that this was nice of the sports teams or the League. Now we find out they has been paid events by the DOD. You know, I'm disappointed with the DOD, but I'm really PO'd at the teams or leagues for accepting those checks.

Genealogists of the future will be pulling their hair out trying to piece together connections of families dotted with multiple parents, multiple baby-daddies, multiple and hyphnated surnames, unmarried parents, and International adoptions. Whew... would not want to be an Ancestry.com researcher in the future.

You know..when liberals get together to browbeat anti-nature Republicans, do you suppose they think about how many trees are killed to make corks for their gourmet wines?

L-E headline and "story": "Ga. Power installing LED street lights all over city * The project is costing the city nothing, Watkins said, and it will save taxpayers significant amount in city power bills. It will also benefit Georgia Power because of their greater efficiency. * Georgia Power estimates that the city of Columbus may be able to reduce its total energy use for street lighting by 50 percent through the transition to LED roadway lighting. * City Engineering Director Donna Newman said the city pays “in the neighborhood of $3 million” a year to keep the streetlights on, but he said savings of that significance would depend on the city’s rate structure, which is set by the Public Service Commission." -- "ave taxpayers significant amount in city power bills"? - Yeah .. right.. and as soon as GA Power calculates "the loss", it will go to the PSC and whine about that and get the PSC to raise residential rates to offset that loss.

A "get's it" L-E "soundoff": " A wise man balances his beliefs against the evidence." -- In other words, this adage will never be seen at a Democrat Primary, a NBC affiliated media source, or on the wall of Obamageddon's Press Meeting room.  or used/adopted by Elijah Cummings, D-Marylanfd7).

Jonathan Gruber incredulously stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "   If I find out my representative has voted for that budget ceiling hike, I will vote against him. I’ll vote for Hillary." -- Good grief.. how much Kool-Aid has this lib drunk?   With luck though, he/she WILL vote for G.I. Jillary against Bishop and that vote will be DQ'd.

L-E headline/story: "'Hero' officer staged suicide, embezzled from youth program * after an intense and costly manhunt for three phantom suspects came up empty, investigators realized he was something else: A small-time embezzler, who meticulously staged his death to make it look like he was slain in the line of duty. *  Incriminating texts and Facebook messages Gliniewicz sent tell a different story, revealing his increasing anxiety after Fox Lake hired its first professional administrator, Anne Marrin. She began auditing all the village departments, including the Explorer program. *  Gliniewicz deleted the messages, but investigators recovered them, and released some of them verbatim on Wednesday, without identifying whom he sent them to. * "If she gets ahold of the old checking account, im pretty well f(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk)ed," the officer wrote in May" -- You know.. maybe this will get Council to order a forensic audit of that Nike basketball scam, and the grant receivers of Public Safety Commission...
