From the "in a nutshell" department - Online headline/story: "Former
Democratic Sen. Jim Webb says he may vote for Trump over Clinton * "The reason
Donald Trump is getting so much support right now is not because of the
'racists,' et cetera, et cetera," the former senator said, dismissing the
problematic support Trump's getting from white supremacists like former Ku Klux
Klan leader David Duke. "It's because a group of people are seeing him as the
only one who has the courage to step forward and say we've got to clean out the
stables of the American governmental system right now. We've got to make it
work." * Still, "voting for Donald Trump, you might get something very good or
very bad," Webb continued. "Voting for Hillary Clinton, you're going to get the
same thing. Do you want the same thing?" -- "the only one who has the courage
to step forward and say we've got to clean out the stables of the American
governmental system right now"! Whether Webb does or does not vote for Clinton..
we won't know unless he takes a camera into the voting booth with him.. but just
knowing there are Democrats who have stopped drinking Kool-AID is
encouraging.

Cruz made a very impassioned speech in Maine, but popped his own bubble when claiming Trump would compromise with Democrats Schumer and Reid on a Supreme Court nominee. President's nomination is just the beginning if the process...the Senate has the power to actually seat the Supreme Court justices. A liberal judge is the failure of the Senators, not the president.
---
Cruz's inexperience as a Senator came through when he was talking about the Supreme Court nomination process. If the Republicans do not have enough Senators elected after the November elections, the Senators will have to compromise regardless if who the president is. Trump represents the best opportunity to elect/re-elect enough Republican Senators to bypass Democrat input.

Online headline: "Social media lights up during National Grammar Day" -- Oooops.. figured the DOE was thinking Hillary was making a campaign stop at FaceBook site. "LIKE" if you get it.

Six families of those killed during the San Bernadino terror attack have filed a suit against Apple to cooperate with the FBI..I hope they win.. getting into one phone is not going to make it a known hack for the rest of the world.

That knife us not OJ's.. what needs to be found is the suitcase one of the lawyers took from his house that no police officers examined.
---
Trump has decided to skip the C-PAC meet..I just wondered why he agreed to speak there to begin with as he's not going to solicit nor accept their money.. Wonder when CRuz and Rubio will realized they've been "one-upped" when Trump is in the primary states today pointing out where they are?
---
Hillary is running scared... she backtracked on skipping the Michigan Fox News Townhall meeting scheduled for Monday. I think she's realized not only can she not give Bernie 2 hours of talking more "free stuff" he can promise, but dodging the Fox questions would not wear well because of the immunity given to her server set-up techie.

From the "politicians making up their own rules to live by" department - Online headline/story: "Hillary Clinton has paid herself over $250,000 from campaign money since April 2015. * The first transaction was for $74,042 on April 13, the same month she started her campaign, and the seven total payments since to Hillary have totaled $254,447, The Washington Free Beacon reports. A Federal Elections Commission rule change in 2002 allowed for candidates to pay themselves using campaign funds, however, this was allowed explicitly for candidates without means who quit their jobs to seek office. “The salary must not exceed the lesser of the minimum annual salary for the federal office sought or what the candidate received as earned income in the previous year,” according to the FEC. -- "A Federal Elections Commission rule change in 2002 allowed for candidates to pay themselves using campaign funds"? Good grief! How despicable.. how does a rule get pt in that literally allows donors to "hire" politicians? I sure hope that the IRS is pulling all politicians who have tapped into their campaign donations and used such for non-campaign personal expenses.. those funds need to be reported as taxable income.

Online story: "When more than 40,000 escaped slaves took refuge in Washington in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln sought to provide them with food, shelter and medical care. " -- Hmmm.. That's how Republicans differ from Democrats.. Lincoln helped because it was the right thing to do.. Democrats promise help in exchange for votes.

I'm not totally 'surprised', but am somewhat curious about the lack of publicity about the Cadillac PGA tournament is being played at the Trump Doral "Blue Monster" golf course. Hey, Romney.. is Doral a business failure of Trump's? BTW.. great course!
---
Romney mimicking Rubio about 65% of Republicans want someone other than Trump is sort of a Kool-AID response. The reverse of that is that more than 80% want someone other than Rubio.. The truth is that st this moment, Trump is attracting the most supporters, and this is a purely a selection process that lets candidates listen to voters responses. Trump is exciting lifelong and new Republicans.

Did you see Juan Williams' "outfit" on Fox News yesterday AM?. It looked like he had a "metro-male" wardrobe malfunction/failure..
---
I may have to pull a "Trump", and be flexible on something..California may have Republican Congressman after all. Duncan Hunter, R-CA, ripped a Fox anchor a new one when she tried to get the Congressman to back away from his open support of Trump because of retired Gen Keane's difference of opinion about waterboarding terrorists.

Online story: "An Atlanta-based entertainment industry executive says at least one major feature film is prepared to shoot elsewhere if Georgia’s proposed Religious Freedom bill becomes law. * Tolleson told WSB-TV he recently learned the openly gay director of a feature film that plans to shoot in Georgia later this year, is now considering shooting elsewhere if the bill becomes law. * "Why would you want to support an economy that doesn't want you?" Tolleson asked." -- Hmmmm... "Why would you want to support an economy that doesn't want you"? -- Hmmm.. how about wanting to be a good example of addressing phobias? Especially his own! Wanting more tolerance means you have to be more tolerant of others as well.

L-E headline: "AMC PLANS TO KEEP CARMIKE BRAND, NOT HEADQUARTERS * Executive: ‘Considerable redundant’ back-office expenses will be eliminated" -- "redundant’ back-office expenses will be eliminated"? Hmmm... sorta a politically correct way to not tell people they've been fired... you know.. in spite of reading about our businesses that are closing, we seem to hear that unemployment is "down".. something doesn't "mesh"...

From the "I wish I could have been a fly on the wall" department: Yesterday
AM.. our granddaughter took my bride to her school for "show 'n tell" day.. Each
Friday, the students bring in something to show that begins with the "letter of
the week". This week it was the letter "C". What better presentation could
Sophia take in than her "CC". Original plans for the day were altered (what
grandmother could say "no" to such an impassioned plea?), and she went down..
Her smile afterwards was still on her face when she went to bed
---
As if it was needed.. my brides name is Carol.. which also is a "C", but
you have to listen to an "almost
4 year-old" pronounce it to fully appreciate it.. Say "Carol"... now say it pronouncing it like "Karo" (as in Karo Syrup" but add an "L" to it.. I agree with Sophia...she's sweeter than syrup.

L-E headline/story: "Satellite data shows no pause in global warming *
shows a slight warming of about 0.18 degrees Fahrenheit since 1998. Ground
temperature measurements, which many scientists call more accurate, all show
warming in the past 18 years." -- Good grief.. 0.18th of one degree.. in 18
years.. you know, unless the temperature was gleaned at the exact same time
taking Leap Year's additional days and whether Daylight Saving Time was/wasn't
in effect on those measurement days (remember, DSL is a variable now). 0.18th of
one degree can happen if a bull releases methane into the air at a measurement
time. Therefore.. we can make just as much claim that this report's findings are
pretty much based on how much BS is in the air.
