Online headline/story: "Inspector General: Clinton emails had intel from most secretive, classified programs *  Hillary Clinton's emails on her unsecured, homebrew server contained intelligence from the U.S. government's most secretive and highly classified programs,  * It laid out the findings of a recent comprehensive review by intelligence agencies that identified "several dozen" additional classified emails -- including specific intelligence known as "special access programs" (SAP).  * That indicates a level of classification beyond even “top secret, *  There is absolutely no way that one could not recognize SAP material,” a former senior law enforcement with decades of experience investigating violations of SAP procedures told Fox News. “It is the most sensitive of the sensitive.”" -- "absolutely no way that one could not recognize SAP material"? Hmmm...another question comes to mind as well... whoever sent "SAP" e-mails to her should have recognized a non-government e-mail address and not only called it to the attention of G.I. JILLary, but to the White House as well.,, and then he/she should never have actually sent those "SAP" e-mails to an unsecure e-mail address. Another head needs to roll!

It was.announced that the US Supreme Court would look at NERO-bamageddon's Executive Order granting illegal alien amnesty. You know, it's discouraging that we already know four of the Justice's "final answer" before the first documents are submitted and reviewed.

Online headline/story: "New smart gun technology may help with gun safety in the US * The "smart guns" of today are, needless to say, far more advanced than the originals of over two decades past. There's the Identilock, a biometric gun lockthat necessitates a fingerprint match before dropping to the floor to expose the trigger. The whole process is meant to take just under a second, providing near instantaneous access. Similarly, the Armatix smart gun requires the owner to activate the weapon via a wristwatch and PIN, rendering it virtually useless if stolen." -- "requires the owner to activate the weapon via a wristwatch and PIN, rendering it virtually useless if stolen."? Hmmm.. well, I can see this rendering it virtually useless if stolen, but... I also see this as being even more useless if you had it and had to punch in a pin number to activate your gun when confronted by a street thug or burglar.

Oh.. now if NERO-bamageddon wants this kind of technology... then let him writeand Executive Order making "pin" activated weapons mandatory for Secret Service agents.

Online story: "As the backlash against the Academy Awards' strikingly all-white nominations continues to grow, with stars announcing they will not attend the high-profile event, some are wondering if host Chris Rock should follow suit. * While some, like Jada Pinkett Smith, Spike Lee and Michael Moore, have been outspoken about the controversy, Rock has remained relatively mum, save for one joke aimed at the ceremony, calling it the "white BET Awards." -- This will be the last a mention this, but... questions remain.. who do these "race baiters" feel is undeserving of the nominees voted on by their peers (of all races) and who do they feel should be selected to replace one or more? Also, why do these "race baiters" want to take the night away from the many off film workers of all races that made theses movies and roles superior  to other under consideration?

HuffPOOPOO... tell me that the Islamist terrorists are not targeting Christians worldwide, including out nation simply because we are Christians..tell us why tolerance to Muslims is the response...

L-E headline/story: "In state of the city address, Tomlinson renews her aim at the tax freeze * Tomlinson said the city has had net zero job growth over the last 30 or so years, a fact that she places at the feet of the freeze." -- Good grief.. Mayor TomLYINGson must be setting up a new political venture for herself in 2018.. Now she's elevated her lying into the "Hillary Class". The main job losses (thus apparent stagnation) are related to downsizing Ft Benning and losing all the related civilian jobs!  The tax freeze has saved her butt since she's been in office.. all the property taxes paid by "frozen" homeowners at much higher rates than if property had been reassessed at current values allowed her to make a budget that she still didn't balance as she "stole" from the savings in the "Fund Balance". to do so. If less revenue had been taken in on those "frozen" properties, she'd have drained the "Fund Balance' to finance her folly projects!

Florida Times-Union headline/story: "Georgia lawmakers query university system chancellor about 9 percent tuition hikes last year" -- Hey, it's not just the tuition that GA Universities are ripping off parents and students..

My daughters attend two different GA universities.. and the "fees" for many things (including athletic fees for scholarships that make parents pay the tuition and expenses of other peoples children) that do not benefit every student are almost a $1000.00 per semester. One daughter is required to live in a dorm room.. and she shares it with another student. Combined, they pay $5,800.00 for a 360 square foot "cell". That's for 4 months and makes it cost $17,400 annually (3 semesters)  .. that's equivalent to $1,450.00 per month. That's for a 360 square foot cell.. They could rent a nice apartment in Columbus for less.. In fact, I'm looking at a brochure for one of the nicest and safest apartment complexes in Columbus, and its highest rent is for a 3-bedroom, 2 and a half bathroom apartment with over 1,700 square feet. If this apartment complex charged what West GA charges per square foot, the rent on such an apartment would be $27,000+ per semester. That's right - would be $27-THOUSAND-plus  per semester ($82,000+ plus annually) Now.. why does it take a Florida newspaper to report what's going on in the University System of GA?

PS - This has been brought up to Synovus' Kessell Stelling, new member of the Board of Regents who thinks it's reasonable. Copy of letter available.

Additional story about CSU tuition:
My 2 daughters that are still in college added additional "online" courses after their initial sign up.. the state university system really screws people on these.. One of my daughter's main tuition was $1,742.00 for her classes (plus another $990.00 for "fees"), but adding one online  class later is $825.00.

Anyone know if adding a class later than the original selection time is more expensive than the other classes? ... and why?

A fellow BCer/retired mover/shaker sent me a very pertinent reminder yesterday..

"We passed the Public Safety LOST which had a major goal for Columbus to become the safest city in America. Too bad the State of the City won't be about how close we are to achieving it. Bet there won't be very much, if any, accounting for how much of our tax dollars has been collected and how much was spent on becoming the safest city.

Guess the current mayor will dismiss it  as Mayor Wetherington's  plan.

If so, then let the taxes passed stop also!"

These words of prophesy came to pass as nothing addressing public safety was brought up.. how insensitive she is to such needs as demonstrated recentlt by the brutal deaths in Upatoi.

Incredibly stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " You are right. Clinton did leave a balanced budget. Obama has almost pulled us out of the financial devastation that Bush left us in. What are you griping about?" -- Good grief.. Clinton didn't make the budget balance.. the Republican House made the budget balance.. Clinton just signed it.. there's the rub.. NERO-bama doesn't sign the House budget bills.. he operates on just adding more National Debt via his "phone and pen".

L-E story: "   The Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday reversed a 2010 murder conviction because a Muscogee County judge failed to honor the suspect’s right to represent himself during the bench trial, the court said." -- Good grief.. and I'll bet the GA Supreme Court would have reversed the decision it the judge ALLOWED him to represent himself.. and we wonder why.. well , we use to wonder why the judicial system  was so frustrating.
