You know...the real difference between Trump and the rest of the presidential wannabees in both parties is this....Cruz, Bernie, Hillary, Rubio, Kasich, and the multitudes who have come and gone, tell us what we should think and do, and trust them. Trump tells us what he thinks..what he feels, and invites you to join him if you're ready for these things to happen. That, my friends, is leadership, and America is starved for leadership.

 

---

You know...even Democrats wish Kasich was an option on THEIR candidate search...in fact, Kasich has pretty much plagiarized Hillary's campaign slogan..."Kasich for Us" vs "Hillary: Fighting for us"..personally, I wish they would "fight for USA"!

 

---

Kasich is all in for amnesty...says illegals are made in the image of the Lord. Hmmm...his point? Hasn't the Lord been pretty much banned from government agencies?

 

---

Bernie says Trump is a liar because Trump called him a communist.. Technically, Bernie had a leg to stand on as he insists he is a Socialist. Now, I think Bernie needs to show us the difference between what he believes as a Socialist compared to what we know a communist is. Of course, Hillary won't be able help us know what the difference is..

 

---

You know...I believe Hillary is getting even worse than we thought possible...after all her denials to being responsible for the catastrophe at Benghazi, she claims Trump is responsible for the violence at his Chicago rally.

 

---

Oh! Did you see (of course you did) the video of Hillary lying about Bernie's whereabouts in 1993-94 when she was trying to force Hillary-care on America? The pictures of Bernie standing right there with her was priceless...can you ever imagine believing her on anything?

 

---

Interesting denial.. Hillary said no Americans were killed in Libya... hmmm.. there goes her credibility as a Secretary of State and foreign relations expert.. she obviously doesn't know/remember that Br-enghazi is in Libya.

 

---

Has Cruz lost it! He's in Illinois talking about him being able to beat Hillary. Won't that insure the Democratic Party machine will get out the crossover vote to vote for Trump?

 

---

Standing on a stage with a bullhorn and ranting about Trump makes Rubi-ZERO look more like a MoveOn protester than a candidate.

L-E story: " The board took a major step toward addressing Columbus High School’s student parking problem when it unanimously and without discussion approved purchasing an adjacent property for $250,000. * MCSD operations chief David Goldberg told the Ledger-Enquirer before the meeting that the half-acre property at 1906 Cherokee Ave., owned by R. Walker Garrett, contains a vacant house, which would be razed. It could accommodate 50-70 parking spaces, depending on how it is configured (plus) probably more than $100,000, to pave over its roughly quarter-acre parcel" -- This just stinks! Like I said yesterday, the house was bought less than 3 years ago for $154,000.00, and the MCSD -without board discussion--- at least not publicly - is handing over nearly $100,000.00 in profit to a political candidate. And for what.. to spend another $100,000.00+ on paving it? That's $350,000.00  (or in MCSD speak - a 1121 sq  ft metal building on concrete slab wrestling room at $312.00 a sq ft)  for 50 to 70 parking places for $5,000.00-to-$7,000.00 per parking space). What's absurd is that it won't really help the parking problem since CHS has an estimated 250 student cars that will not fit on the existing campus facilities.To boot, the $350,000.00 is only the start of costs.... how much in legal fees will it cost us taxpayers when the homeowners next door sue for noise pollution and  devaluation of their home's value?

Pete Rose just got his last, and possibly his greatest hit..He endorsed Trump, which may help with the "art of a deal "with MLB's Baseball Hall.of Fame"

Pete Rose on Trump: A signed baseball is not an endorsement -- As Emily Litella  might say, "Nevermind". Add one more "error" to Pete's records.

HuffPOOPOO headlie: "The Recession Is Over, So Why Are School Districts Still Slashing Budgets?" -- Good grief.. simply a case of Common CRAP math meeting reality.

Online story: "California communities may be feeling the fallout from a controversial measure that reduced penalties for a range of crimes, as law enforcement report an uptick in everything from robberies to auto theft – and point the finger squarely at what’s known as Prop 47. * The measure was approved at the ballot box in 2014 and downgraded many nonviolent offenses like property crimes and simple drug offenses from felonies to misdemeanors, part of an effort to reduce prison over-crowding in the state. * Since the law went into effect, major cities have seen an increase in more serious crimes as well. * Recent press reports show that in San Francisco, robberies are up 23 percent; in Los Angeles, violent crimes are up 20 percent; and in Sacramento, homicides are up 23 percent" -- Hmmm... and didn't Columbus just initiate such a program to reduce crimes statuses and incarceration time? Like I said.. such programs just put criminals back on the street quicker and are adding to our community's police officers' worries.

L-E's " Thought for Today": “There are no hopeless situations; there are only men who have grown helpless about them.” — Clare Boothe Luce, American author, diplomat, member of Congress (1903-1987)." -- We now title these men Democrat voters.

 

---

L-E editorial headline: "Swim center story just isn’t getting better with time" -- Good grief.. did someone at the L-E put a ban on rose-tinted glasses? Now if the L-E editorialists would look at Mayor TomLYINGson's lack of budgeting skills,  and the MCSD/MCSB's education record with the same clarity, the L-E might become a true newspaper ... again.

Last.. but definitely not the least:

Passed on by a fellow BCer:

Raccoons
When was the last time you could vote for the ideal candidate?
We always have two choices, usually Tweedledee and Tweedledum. If you didn’t vote for Tweedledee you get Tweedledum. That’s the way it is folks.

Now consider this……An interesting analogy
You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean, raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately so you hire a guy. A pro. You don't care if the guy smells, you need those raccoons gone pronto and he's the guy to do it! You don't care if the guy swears, you don't care if he's an alcoholic, you don't care how many times he's been married, you don't care if he has plumber's crack...you simply want those raccoons gone!  You want your problem fixed!  He's the guy. He's the best. Period.
That's why Trump. Yes, he's a bit of an ass.   Yes, he's an egomaniac, but you don't care. The country is a mess because politicians suck and we are all sick and tired of Tweedledee and Tweedledum choices.  The Democrats are killing us, the Republican Party is two-faced and gutless, liberals don’t have a clue, and illegals are everywhere. You want it all fixed!

You don't care that Trump is crude, you don't care that he insults people, you don't care that he had been friendly with Hillary, you don't care that he's been married 3 times, you don't care that he fights with Megen Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, you don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslin terrorist,...this country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal's, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hamid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in; “AND WE JUST WANT it FIXED”.

Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.  You're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, sick of the Republican Party, and sick of illegals. You just want this thing fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but no person or company he has ever done business with has come forward and called him corrupt, or hard to do business with.   He doesn’t have lobbyist money holding him, and he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him.  All you know is that he has been well educated at the University of Pennsylvania business school, seems to have boundless energy, has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he's not a cowardly, deceitful, professional, politician. And he says he'll fix it.

You don't care if the guy has bad hair.

You just want those raccoons gone.

Out of your house.

 

Amen.
