Online headline/story: "Fox News anchor grills Hillary Clinton on her email scandal *
Last March, facing criticism for exclusively using a private server during her time as secretary of state, Clinton handed over about 30,000 work-related emails for the State Department to make public. She deleted about 31,000 more emails she says were personal in nature. Since then, many of the released emails have been marked classified upon their release." -- For a moment and for the sake of discussion.. let's take her on.. well.. AT her word.. "31,000 e-mails were of a personal nature"? Hubby Bill says he has only gotten/used e-mail twice in his life.. to whom did she exchange 30,998 personal e-mails?

Online headline: "Virginia Senate approves electric chair amid drug shortage" -- Hmmm... yeah!.. and make the convicted choose.. hey.. let's throw hanging and firing squad back in the mix as well.. and put up a website where families of the victims of any murderer can vote for which method!

Online headline/story : "Hillary Clinton Says She Agrees Her Role In Mass Incarceration Was A Mistake"  *
“That’s why I am focused and have a very comprehensive approach towards fixing the criminal justice system, going after systemic racism that stalks the justice system, ending private prisons and ending the incarceration of low level offenders and i am committed to doing that,” she continued." -- As I recall, that bill was one of her husband's and the Democratic majority House/Senate passed in 1994.. Hmmm .. that's been over 20 years ago.. to boot, she had 6+ years under her husband's term, and these 7+ year under NERO-bamageddon's term to suggest/repair whatever she won't divulge now unless she gets elected.. in unison .. Whatta Crock of BS!

From the "she can't win either way" department - Online headline: "Woman who can't get a law job sues her alma mater * A**  A*******a, 37, is accusing Thomas Jefferson School of Law of using inflated post-graduate employment figures and salaries to defraud applicants." - Good grief.. if she presents her case in a satisfactory way, she shows the jury that her lack of finding a law job is her fault, and if she loses, then the jury would also know it's her fault..

From the "let's revisit a previous Breakfast Club report" department - Online story: "Chicago police said Monday they had identified the suspected triggerman in the execution-style killing of a 9-year-old boy that shocked the violence-scarred city this past November.  *  D***** B****-D***, 22, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Tyshawn Lee, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.  * Tyshawn was playing basketball in a park on the city's far south side on the afternoon of Nov. 2 when he was lured into a nearby alley and shot in the head. Seven .40-caliber bullet casings were found at the scene." -- Hey, Sharlatan.. hey "Black Lives Matter", who are you going to defend on this?

Hey. remember, because of the effervescent reports on AP awards for Carver High, my asking for the MCSD to supply the names of Carver High's S.T.A.R student winners for the past two years? Well this is the MCSD SECOND response:

"I do apologize in the delay in responding.  Communications has contacted the Chief of Teaching and Learning and have been advised that a list does exist with the event sponsors, Rotary of Columbus, however that information has not been provided.  Therefore, we are reaching out to our high school principals to obtain the names of their S.T.A.R. students (as applicable) and will advise you of our findings. Thank you for your patience."

Don't you know this makes all the winners of S.T.A.R student recognition at each school "feel special"? Good grief.. how can the MCSD NOT know the names of such a prestigious program?

L-E story: "The Thanksgiving break would be Wednesday through Friday instead of the whole week. The committee’s rationale is that most parents aren’t off work that Monday and Tuesday, so the weeklong break for students who don’t have siblings old enough to take care of them was a burden for those parents to find childcare." -- Hmm.. something I can actually partially agree with.. thinking about the hardship certain school days off/early releases play on parents..now, if we can get the MCSD/MCSB to pay attention to the hardship a poor education plays on students, too. The part I abhor is that "grown-ups" in the education system think the older kids that the MCSD has failed are capable of being substitute childcare workers for their younger siblings.

---

Of course, the MCSD/MCSB could help families and other taxpayers  even more if they started the school year in September and ended it in early June, so school vacation times would mirror traditional vacation periods in the private sector workplace... to boot.. eliminating 5 of the hottest weeks of the year would make a dent in paying GA Power bills for airconditioning.

What's is it with Rubio? Now he's asking folks in Florida to give him their vote. I don't want to give my vote to anyone...I want who I support to EARN it!

---
Did you hear Bernie "shush" Hillary for interrupting him during the Republican debate..I'd love to see Bill do that.

---
A new Monmouth poll shows new info for the Michigan primary, Kasich is now ahead of Rubio...good grief, how can Rubio ask anyone to seriously believe he could beat Hillary when he's below Kasich at this point?

---
Think about this.. a Trump vs Bernie presidential race... what would lobbyists do to keep money coming IN since no businesses or industry groups would need to send them money because neither Trump nor Bernie will be accepting any?

---
Detroit...how is this a battle for income equality for the Democrat primary? Didn't we read about union UAW workers getting a new contract that raises their $78.00 per hour jobs to about $85/$88.00 per hour?

---
I'm listening to an ad by Ken Nugent that has some "clients" celebrating the "big" checks Ken has gotten them (of course it doesn't mention his share for their pain). Ken then comes on and says, Of course I can't guarantee getting one for "you". No wonder so many lawyers are Democrats. It's easy to promise big bucks to get voters, and it's just as easy to blame a jury or the Republicans when it doesn't happen.

From Columbus' Council Agenda: " PURCHASES:
   CHEVROLET TAHOE 2WD POLICE PURSUIT VEHICLES – GEORGIA STATEWIDE CONTRACT: It is requested that council approve the purchase of three Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles from Hardy Chevrolet (Dallas, Ga.), in the amount of $34,610.00 per unit, for a total price of $103,830, via Georgia State contract.
   2016 FORD F150, GEORGIA STATEWIDE CONTRACT: It is requested that council approve the purchase of one 2016 Ford F150 from Allan Vigil Ford (Morrow, Ga.), in the amount of $29,006, via Georgia state contract." -- You know.. why aren't deals made through our local dealers?

From Columbus' Council Agenda: " BICYCLE COLUMBUS DONATION: Approval is requested to receive $1,020.60 in donations from Bicycle Columbus for the purpose of purchasing 30 roadway signs that shall display state law 40-6-56, requiring motorists to provide bicyclists with no less than 3 feet of space when passing on roadway. The signs will be placed in strategic locations throughout the community where there is high bicyclist activity and motorist interaction." -- Can't get this song out of my head, "Sign, sign, everywhere a sign, Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind".. You know the irony is that placing those signs next to the bicycle lanes will encourage bicyclers to ride further into the traffic lanes that cars use out of fear of hitting a sign.

L-E story: "A 20-year-old male cyclist was admitted to the Columbus Midtown Medical Center Sunday night after being struck by a vehicle in a hit-and wreck in the 2200 block of Marion Street, according to a Columbus police report.  *  Columbus Police said they found the cyclist lying in the middle of the road with his pink and gray Magna mountain bike lying next to him when they responded to the scene of the 8:20 p.m. collision. * Police spoke to a female witness who stated that she was driving westbound on Marion Street when she saw a white late model midsize vehicle directly in front of her “swerve irately and strike” the cyclist. The automobile had “aftermarket rims,” she noted. * She said a slim black man dressed in all white left the vehicle from the passenger side and walked toward the cyclist before hastily returning to the vehicle. The driver then continued onto Marion Street and turned south onto Britt Avenue." -- Hmmmm.. maybe Council should make some of the signs being voted on today should read "Bike Lives Matter".

Online story: "   Immigrants' rights supporters, led by Voces de la Frontera,  lost a key battle to get ID cards for people who are living in the U.S. illegally when the Wisconsin Legislature passed a bill to ban counties issuing such cards, but activists say they're not giving up the fight. lost a key battle to get ID cards for people who are living in the U.S. illegally when the Wisconsin Legislature passed a bill to ban counties issuing such cards, but activists say they're not giving up the fight." -- Good grief.. the state already issues ID's.. allowing  individual counties to do so would just compound the falsification of information and muddy real identification.. not to mention the fraud that would ensue in voting and welfare programs.

Online story: "It took less than a day after Oregon’s governor signed one of the nation’s largest minimum wage hikes into law for activists to complain that it’s not enough – and to begin pushing for further wage mandates to be included on the state’s ballot in November.  * The newly signed law will raise Oregon’s minimum wage from the current level of $9.25 per hour to $14.75 per hour in cities like Portland. Smaller cities will have a minimum wage of $13.50 and “rural areas” will have the minimum wage set at $12.50.  The increases will be phased-in over the next six years, with the first increases taking effect in July" -- Good grief.. when you give a slacker an inch, they want more with their next breath.. of course, actually working hard and EARNING a better wage isn't in their  vision.

Oh, Oregon is on a mission to eliminate coal. Legislation passed by the state’s assembly, which will need to be signed into law by Governor Kate Brown, will transition Oregon away from coal, which currently provides around a third of the state’s electricity supply. As soon as Governor Brown signs it (may have happened yesterday), Thousands of jobs at skilled labor wages will start to disappear. Way to go libs.. you keep shooting yourself in the foot,

Online story: "Attorneys for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl said Saturday they may seek a deposition from presidential contender Donald Trump or call him as a witness at a legal proceeding, saying they fear his comments could affect their client's right to a fair trial." -- Good grief.. Bregd(_*_)hl is not wanting a "fair trial" but a trial that is weighted in his favor.. and there's nothing fair about that.

---

Incredibly stupid.. naive as a minimum, LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Republicans, guns, and education. Only one of those things leads to something positive." --  Good grief.. The Democratic education plan has exceeded their highest expectations.. It's downgraded the results to the point that diplomas are more of a record of "participation" rather than achievement, and the Democrats have effectively passed the blame on to those trying to correct the system.

---

L-E headline: " Aflac and TSYS make ‘ethical’ list" -- Hmm.. wanna bet neither invites a Clinton to be on its board?

Did you notice the sudden expansion of the L-E's "Foreclosure Section today.. a full 8-page section and part of another. yeah.. the economy and job market is really improving like the L-E and Mayor TomLYINGson are touting.
