Online headline: "Former 2016 rival on 'short list' to be Ted Cruz's VP" -- "short list"? ...it's more like a blank sheet of paper...

---
Online headline: "Pro-ISIS hackers post 'kill' list of State Department employees" -- Hmmm.. looks like Trump just picked up a new group of supporters as the State Department employees already know that Hillary won't send anybody in to protect/save them.

---
From the "maybe the other states should secede from NY as well as CA" department - Online story: "A group of North Carolina middle-school students who were ordered to stop singing the "National Anthem" at the 9/11 Memorial have received an apology from officials there, days after video of the awkward incident at the sacred site went viral. * They stopped at the 9/11 Memorial and decided to sing the "National Anthem" to show pay respect for the dead. *  Before the song was over, two memorial site guards walked over and told the students they had to stop singing." -- Good grief.. what is it with Democrat appointed parks administration that deny patriotism? Similar stoppages have happened at the various War Memorials in Washington when government has been shut down because of wasteful spending. Vote Trump!

There are programs in trial that are letting school chidren to be examined, diagnosed, and prescribed via the internet per computers manned by school personnel talking with hospital personnel so parents don't have to check their children out of school, drive to a physician, and then go to a pharmacy and wait for a prescription to be filled while missing work. This is just another government program designed to remove parents from being responsible for their children. Already schools want all the responsibility of transporting, feeding, deciding curriculum, so this is the next step.

Debbie 'No Nothing' Schultz..chair of the DNC says the FBI is not investigating Hillary..According to Schultz, the FBI is merely conducting a "Security Assessment". I guess Schultz feels that since everyone expects her to lie, she should just continue to lie. The FBI doesn't conduct "Security Assessment", it conducts "Criminal INVESTIGATIONS"!

---
Trump is right...Cruz says as president he will repeal Obamacare. He can't actually do that..Congress must write a bill doing that (like they have often done with ZERO-bama) , and the president can sign it into law. And the truth is, Cruz may not even get the Senate to pass such a bill.

---
You know, the RNC should be aghast at candidates being openly collusive in derailing another candidate. If the RNC doesn't step in, then the RNC has pretty much neutered itself, and Priebus & Co. can pretty much use the ladies' restrooms without court orders.
---
You know, if I had voted for/supported any other GOP candidate prior to Cruz & Kasich's flagrant plan of collusion, I'd be changing my vote to Trump.

---
L-E's "Thought for Today": “A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem.” – Author unknown." -- Good grief.. now we know the inspiration ZERO-bama gives to his messengers.. Gibbs, Carnet, and Earnest... It's Bush's Fault!

L-E headline/story: "Ex-staffer challenges Bishop in clerk race  * Bishop said she is ready to return to the office. “I’m on the job,” she said. “I know what needs to be done here. I don’t need to know about the process of documents and customer service. I get very few complaints about that and I have to pat myself on the back and my employees for doing a wonderful job.” *   Bishop said she will keep fighting for resources to operate the office. “I will continue to ask and request to fight for those items we need to make this a good office,” she said. “I will be here to do this.”" -- "I know what needs to be done here"?  One question.. why hasn't she been doing it all along?

---
L-E headline/story: "Mayor to present proposed fiscal 2017 budget to council today *  In the last 10 years, the city has dipped repeatedly into its reserves to balance budgets, dropping the fund from 130 days of reserves to just below 60 days, a level at which the city’s bond rating can be hurt." -- "fund... reserves.. just below 60 days"? Just last week the pre-budget release casually mention the "fund..reserves" were about 60 days.. but no mention they were BELOW as they discussed the distribution of $50 + MILLION in Water Works bonds! Believe me, in the banking industry,, a low fund rating"can be hurt" isn't the whole truth (but who expects that from Mayor TomLYINGson). the bond rating WILL be hurt and Columbus taxpayers will be penalized because of long term higher interest payouts.

Remember how I've been reminding us about the delays and busted budget concerning the Whittlesey Road widening project, and how little concern it has been of the L-edger-Enquirer or Council? Well, I must have touched a nerve:
Yesterday, I got this posting on Facebook from one of the construction project principles: Mac Turner: "Hal I want you to do me a favor. If you think YOU know so much about the progress on Whittlesey Road then I invite YOU TO DO SOME HOMEWORK! You know nothing about that job. So stop writing your stupid articles!" -- I responded for all of Columbus: "Mac - Comments like this just peak my interest...and 1000s of other people. How about telling us why the project is a year behind and over a million dollars over budget. Columbus citizens want to know." So far ... no response or updates .

---
L-E headline/story: "Obama urges Europeans to fight forces of xenophobia, division  *  President Barack Obama on Monday urged the United States’ European allies to reject the isolationist and nationalist impulses that are taking hold on the continent, and pressed Europe to remain open to refugees fleeing war and poverty. * “We have to uphold our values not just when it is easy but when it’s hard,” Obama said." -- First, if he was talking to our European allies, then the chairs were all empty.. but what's his definition of "uphold our values"? So far, I haven't seen him uphold any Christian values!

L-E story: "   NBC is cutting the commercial clutter during “Saturday Night Live.” *  Just two weeks before NBC starts selling ad time for the 2016-17 season, the network announced that the program will have two fewer national commercial breaks starting this season, its 42nd." -- "cutting"? Yeah, right... even the Masters has more commercials than it did in the past..
