Online story: "Obama on Friday unveiled new rules that would compel companies with more than 100 workers to provide the federal government annual data for how much they pay employees based on gender, race and ethnicity." -- Good grief..What ZERO-bamageddon has actually done is cripple production of all workers in the future! He's created an environment that dictates "one job/one pay level" which will stop workers from having an initiative to exceed expectations; it will stop companies from being able to reward exceptional efforts with financial rewards. It will basically lower most workers family income as all jobs will have set pay at the lowest levels, because the level/group of "same job" personnel can advance no faster than the slowest, least productive member in that level/group. It will also hit he bottom line in that additional "non-productive" departments will have to be created that figure out how to create equal pay levels for all levels of personnel, and make sure the correct data is sent to "Big Brother". And.. it will basically eliminate "annual bonuses" as no one in any level can be singled out for special compensation.

Speaking of "bonuses: Yesterday, I just heard a most discouraging fact from Congressman Jason Chaffetz, R-UT, Chairman of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee. He said that over half of federal employees get annual bonuses. I understand merit/loyalty annual pay hikes, but bonuses for over half..no way. I used to give bonuses, but they were specific to hard working folks who found ways to improve our bottom line or ways to improve our products. If half of Federal employees were doing that, the government would be a "model" for private businesses to try to achieve, and there would be no turmoil from taxpayers. Under the circumstances just created by ZERO-bamageddon, I think the federal government needs to ask  the American taxpayers for approval as to whether any federal employee get a bonus in the future.

Online headline: "22 'top secret' Clinton emails won't be released * The State Dept. announced that some of the former secretary of state's emails will be withheld from public release because of the intel they hold."  -- Good grief.. now Americans won't know what the rest of the world already knows! Now the big questions: Did G.I. JILLary or any of the employees who worked under her get any "bonuses"?, and Are any of the federal employees withholding these e-mails going to get a year-end bonus after the elections?

I really am getting PO'd about donation requests by the candidates to fund their campaigns in Iowa and Vermont. They should be seeking dollars from those folks. That's the true poll of how well those voters feel about the message they are spreading.

I just ruled out an Audi Q7 for myself on something other than price, and I haven't even sat in one. I just listened to an ad for one..seating 7 was interesting as it indicates more room under normal circumstances, but then it added..power seats available for third row seats. What are they thinking! Why would I want my grandchildren having access to.power seats? I don't want power seats in the 2nd row! Just more electronics to tear up and need repair.

---
You know, the greatest harm to the Republicans in debate was that Trump wasn't there. It made the 7 who were look like they were jockeying for 2nd place during Trump's absence.  It also showed how lacking they might be trying to be on stage with G.I. JILLary when the moderators are going to favor her.

Good grief.. one of the Fiasco (Fiat-Chrysler) cars that Poop Francis rode in during his trip to America is going to be auctioned off tonight. The guy didn't even drive it, and it's expected to go for 6-figures . Truly, this has to be called the Poop-mobile.

---
I saw picture on FaceBook of an eagle lying dead in.the ground in a windmill energy collection field... it happened sometime back, but just now come into my attention. You know, if an eagle was found soaked in crude oil, it would have been on the same day's lead story of the mainscream media.. oh.. and NERO-bamageddon would be out consoling the eagle's mama.

There was a story in the L-E about the report "Dr" Worsley made to Council about the Aquatic Center.  Councilors Henderson, Thomas, Davis, and Baker (were the other 6 absent?) expressed their disappointment  in that "Dr" Worsley did not have a "cure" to present. Foe r different reasons, I sorta agree with Mayor TomLYINGson.. that Council IS sending " mixed signals to Worsley about what they want.". Of course, at least by L-E reporting standards, Mayor TomLYINGson did not express herself either way.. which to me shows a definite lack of leadership since she hired the "Dr".

Online headline: "Italy Dreads Looming Invasion of 400,000 New Immigrants ‘in Coming Weeks’" -- 400,000 immigrants? How about an undocumented "army". 400,000 is about the same number of active soldiers America will have after the last slashing of America's military force by NERO-babageddon. To boot, combining all 5 of the various military entities in Italy and Italy has only 350,000 soldiers.  This is WAR.. not refugeeism.

---
How come G.I. JILLary is telling Iowa voters that if they stand up for her now, she'll fight for them if she wins. Don't Iowans, even Democratic ones, remember how she numblessly abandoned 4  Americans at Benghazi?

---
Online headline: "Two fugitives remained at large on Friday after they broke out of jail a week ago, but officials believe they know where the suspects are hiding." -- "officials believe they know where the suspects are hiding"? What BS.. thos same "officials" also thought the three were sleeping in their cell many hours after they had escaped, too, and the one they have wasn't "captured", he turned himself in. Guess he wants to get started on writing a book and movie script..

---
Online headline: "Iran provokes US with 'abnormal' drone operation * Iranian state television on Friday claimed to have carried out a drone maneuver in very close proximity to a US Navy ship in international waters." -- Good grief.. Even Jimmy Carter would have standing orders for such a drone to be shot out of the air, and if we had a real man in the White House, Iran would have been blown out of the sandbox.

---
There's another list of the 21 most dangerous places in the world to visit..Detroit made the number 2 spot. Guess we all better inspect the trunks of any GM cars we are interested in buying.

---
Online story: "Hillary Clinton is the only candidate racing for the White House who's married to a past president, but it turns out he's not her favorites. * Clinton told AOL.com her favorite past president is actually Abraham Lincoln" --- Hmm.. wonder if we should demand to hear the tapes for ourselves.. She may have said "Abe", not Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln is a big stretch for her as people think of him as honest, but "Abe" would fit.. "Anybody But Ego-head"

---
In the above story: "She (Hillary) also staked a claim as both an early riser and a night owl," -- Of course, she sleeps through 3:00 AM phones calls about Benghazi.

---
Seriously, this not a joke nor farce.. Online story: "A neighborhood in Chicago was named 'Hottest Neighborhood' in the country. * Redfin released its yearly report ranking the "Hottest Neighborhoods of 2016" and Chicago's Ukrainian Village took the No. 1 spot. * The report is calculated by measuring which neighborhoods in 32 cities across the country has the highest increase in total page views and favorites on the Redfin website and apps during the second half of 2015." -- Based on "highest increase in total page views and favorites on the Redfin website and apps during the second half of 2015" .. Hmm.. what the story doesn't say is that Ukaine Village is only 11 miles from one of the most violent Chicago neighborhoods (Englewood), so most of the " increased views" were from Dnglewood thugs casing out it's next area to victimize...

From the "suspicions confirmed" department - L-E headline/story: "LEGISLATIVE LAWYER: FREEZE BALLOT QUESTION ‘NOT LEGAL’ *  A deputy counsel for the Georgia House of Representatives has told Rep. Richard Smith, R-Columbus, that, in his opinion, aspects of Mayor Teresa Tomlin-son’s proposed referendum to “thaw” the property tax assessment freeze are “not legal,” according to an email sent to Smith. *  The deputy counsel, Richard Russkell, said putting three different things — sunsetting the freeze, creating a market-based system and creating a higher homestead exemption for new homebuyers — violates the “single subject rule,” which doesn’t allow different subjects to be part of a single ballot question. *  I have had a chance to review the thaw the freeze bill you sent me,” Russkell wrote to Smith in the email. “It is very complex and well written by someone who knows what they are trying to do. " -- Yep... Mayor TomLYINGson is slick.. but not "too slick".. all along I have contended her ultimate goal was to get voters, primarily non-homeowner voters, to basically repeal the tax freeze, but she knew the multi-level tax variables would not pass muster in even a lower court, and in effect, the original tax freeze Constitutional Amendment would have been repealed, and new "freezes" would be outed so the homeowners in Columbus would be exposed to whatever tax/rate increase Mayor TomLYINGson  wanted for the next two years,, Be warned, it's not over yet as there appears to be another level to rule on its "ballot worthiness". Yet if it does get on the ballot and passed, it will definitely be challenged in lower courts and we will all suffer.. 
---
From above story: " Tomlinson said that before she put the ballot question to the General Assembly she sought opinions from attorney Chuck Palmer, with the Atlanta firm of Troutman Sanders. * One of Palmer’s specialties is government and regulatory law. In the early 2000s, he worked for the city to successfully defend the freeze against a court challenge." -- Good grief.. how can any lawyer represent both sides of an issue.. If Palmer "wins" on breaking up the freeze, he should forced to return the fees he was paid to defend it earlier. This also exposed the snakiness of the profession in general and TomLYINGson specifically.
---
From a related (since the info about the illegal freeze initiative was disclosed at this meeting on WEDNESDAY of this week and not mentioned until Saturday) L-E headline/story: "Economist: Area to lose 1,000 jobs on top of 2,200 soldiers * Local retailing and housing sectors will feel the brunt of fewer jobs in the metro area" -- Hey, Mayor TomLYINGson.. have you written an excuse blaming the "tax freeze" on this so yoy don't have to blame NERO-bamageddon's military cutbacks?

---
From above story: " Economist Jeff Humphreys delivered the good news first at a luncheon held Friday in Columbus. The local metro area performed slightly better in 2015 than even he expected, creating about 1,800 jobs." -- "creating 1,800 jobs"?  Maybe Jeff Humphreys should have considered the source of his info.. Mayor TomLYINGson,, she's Columbus's counterpart to NERO-babamgeddon's flock of press officers led by Robert Gibbs, Jay Carney, and now Josh Earnest who are the "messengers" for his lies. Oh, and don't forget, she idolizes G.I JILLary.. that bastion of truth..
---
Incredibly dumb AND stupid  LIV's L-E "soundoff": "I’ve never had less respect for people I know nothing about than I do for these people with Trump signs in their yards." -- Ironically, this has to be said by a person who respects G.I. JI|LLary for her approach to honesty..
---
L-E headline/story: "Wasserman Schultz becomes target in Clinton-Sanders battle * “If I wanted to favor a candidate, I would not be DNC chair,” she told McClatchy last week after headlining a fund-raiser in Tallahassee, Fla. “I would support that candidate. It’s a pretty convoluted way to help a candidate when I have to actually function neutrally as the DNC chair.”" -- Is there anyone in the Democratic Party who won't lie about what everyone else knows as the truth? Sure, Washerwoman Schultz.. everyone "believes" you are equally thrilled at Bernie as you are with G.I. JILLary.
---
L-E headline: "Jefferson Airplane co-founder Paul Kantner dies at 74" -- Last week it was Glenn Frey.. whew.. reality is setting in when our music icons of our youth are dying of old age.

On a personal note, my mom would have been 96 today..
