From the "you know... it's really not a surprise" department - Online story: "California, the Golden State has the worst air quality of any state in the US, according to a new report from the United Health Foundation." -- Hey, Senator Diane Feinstein... why didn't you write a law about air quality control?

Online story: "Connecticut would become the first U.S. state to ban the sale of guns to people on government watch lists under an executive order that Governor Dannel Malloy, a Democrat, said on Thursday he will sign. * The measure, which Malloy said needs federal approval, would require state police to review whether a potential gun buyer was on the federal no-fly list or on a watchlist for people suspected of ties to terrorism." -- Hmmm.. this could be the crack in the Democratic Party "bell".. wait until the first rejection of a Muslim, Black Panther, or MS-13 gang member and watch the ACLU  filing lawsuits for discrimination, and the DOJ charging Connecticut with "racial profiling".... hey, none of that will happen if a white Christian is blocked...

Online headline: "NBC/WSJ Poll: 57 percent oppose Trump's Muslim proposal" -- Good grief..57% of people polled by NBC/WSJ are opposed to anything requiring personal responsibility and accountability.. but what's scary is that a poll is run on nothing but a comment.. Trump has not fleshed out an actual program that's discussable, much less dissectible.

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Next GOP Debate Is A Brand New Chance To Solve The Same Old Problem" -- Talk about left-wing/RINO/mainscream media conspiracies.. since when is destroying Trump the most important issue of the 2016 election? If only those three factions worked as hard in fighting ISIS...Hmmm... you know... those 3 factions probably do consider Trump a bigger threat.. Trump represents fresh, independent, and passionate thinking which has long departed Washington, DC.

Jonathan Gruber stupidly misinformed LIV's L-E "soundoff": " The article describing Toshfeen Malik, the co-murderer of the San Bernardino 14, as “more devout” is certainly a misnomer. Surely Mohammed didn’t expect his followers to slaughter the rest of the world." -- First, it was the prophet, Muhammad... Now, can the LIV defend his/her interpretations of these:

Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority".  This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity

Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."  The martyrs of Islam are unlike the early Christians, who were led meekly to the slaughter.  These Muslims are killed in battle as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the cause of Allah.  This is the theological basis for today's suicide bombers.

Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Quran (9:14) - "Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people." Humiliating and hurting non-believers not only has the blessing of Allah, but it is ordered as a means of carrying out his punishment and even "healing" the hearts of Muslims.

etc. etc. etc

L-E column headline: "Preserving black institutions" -- Wait a darn minute.. this flies right into the face of integration and equality, and the future.  Pure and simple, it's racial profiling. If this were proposed by Trump, (fill in the blank).

Hmmm...did you see where Mark Zuckerberg said he was going to use his FB resources to aid Muslims..my knew name for him is 6uckerberg*  (The 6th letter in our alphabet is "F".)

Online headline: "Kim Jong Un claims North Korea has a hydrogen bomb"  -- Good grief.. now we must suppose that Kerry will want to give Iran one.. on the other hand.. he headline could be a misprint, and was really supposed to "Kim Jung Un is a walking time bomb".

Online story: "Students at a small Pennsylvania college are demanding that administrators rename a building called "Lynch Memorial Hall" because of the racial overtones of the word "lynch."
 *  The building is named after Clyde A. Lynch, who was president of Lebanon Valley College from 1932 until his death in 1950. --

Good grief... Next they will want to change the name of the "WHITE House" for the same reason.. What we need to do is request the DOJ investigate the protesters so they will know what it is to be "Loretta LYNCHed".

Online headline/story: "Prophecy realized: Ex-Gitmo detainee, UBL aide resurfaces on battlefield in Yemen *  Ibrahim al-Qosi, a Sudanese native who once served as Usama bin Laden's cook, chauffeur and bookkeeper, appears in the latest video released this week by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), some three years after he was released from the U.S. military facility. The 55-year-old Al-Qosi is one of the Al Qaeda chapter's top men" --  Wonder when he will come to the US on "refugee status"?

Online story: "The national Republican establishment is preparing for potentially not having a clear winner after the party's 2016 presidential primaries, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
And if front-runner Donald Trump is still ahead at the end, several unnamed "longtime power brokers" reportedly urged the Republican Party to prepare for a floor fight to nominate a more acceptable alternative." -- Any other time, I'd dismiss this as a mainscream media assist to actually get Trump on the ballot, but this is coming from the GOP, and the GOP better understand that the current current time, Trump IS the voters "more acceptable alternative" to what the GOP has been putting on the ballots.

---
You know, I hope potential Republican candidates for election/reelection are watching closely.. Hopefully, they will approach their campaigns with the same fervor and passion that has excited voters about Trump.

L-E story: "asked about the status of the proposed high-speed rail between Columbus and Atlanta.  *
   Tomlinson said Columbus is at the forefront of high-speed rail in the state of Georgia, having taken the first couple of steps necessary to get it going. Included in those steps was completing a feasibility study, which showed that it could work and be profitable.  *  “We’re talking about an electric high-speed train that would run up 185 and 85 at over 200 miles per hour,” Tomlinson said. “The state already owns the right-of- way. They would have over a million one-way trips a year. It would be profitable in the first year of operation.” --  " would be profitable in the first year of operation"? Good grief.. like the Natatorium? like Metra? like any other whim Mayor TomLYINGson has advocated for?  You also have to wonder why she puts usage based on 1-way fares.. is it because no one would want to ride it back after 1 trip... or would use it to escape the tac=x structure she is trying to enforce? But let's just parse her math.. 1 Million tickets at $39.00 (I think this is a figure she has used in the past), would generate $39,000,000.00 which would have to cover the expenses of use and staffing and on an initial investment of about $3.9 BILLION dollars.. No respectful Billionaire business person would invest that kind of money on a venture that would only generate a 1% revenue stream before "profits". No BILLIONAIRE business man would  consider investing dollars when there is no profit potential.
