TRUMP!  1,1 Million Indianans went to the polls and more than half of them didn't want anything to do with the Cruz/Kasich/Fiorina collusion ticket. In fact 73% more Indianans were drawn to vote than in 2012...

---
And what about Hillary... Bernie "spanked" her.. Interestingly,, less than half as many Democrats went to the polls than in 2008...in fact Hillary got  53% less votes than in 2008 when she beat ZERO-bama!.

---
Now that Cruz has "suspended" his campaign, maybe mainstream media will yurn its attention to what's actually happening in the Democratic primaries.. Hillary was supposed to have put the nomination away months ago.. Personally, I think the DNC isn't sure what to do.. personally, I think Biden is being "dusted off" to run when Hillary becomes a liability rather than the "sure thing" she was dubbed 6 months ago. In order to do this, the DNC will stop protecting her when the inside polls between the California Primary and the Democratic Convention show the DNC that Hillary cannot win, the DOJ  will become pit bull at her throat, and Biden will drafted over Bernie..

Online headline: "Kasich reveals bold next step after losing in Indiana * The Ohio governor's campaign sent out a memo revealing its plans moving forward after finishing a distant third in Tuesday's Indiana primary." -- Good grief.. what's his definition of success.. to overtake Rubio to be 3rd (instead of 4th) highest in the delegate count?

---
How much lower could Cruz or Democrat supporters go? In Indiana, anti-Trump forces had their children out protesting along side of them and encouraging their children to curse, give "the finger", and "moon" Trump supporters.

---
Ultra-conservatives should rejoice at Trump's win...If Trump nominates a Supreme Court Justice the Republican Senators don't like, the Senators can withhold support without mainscream media going ballistic.

---
Hillary says she's going to put Slick Willie back on the government payroll if she wins..Good grief...the first job she'll create is putting a lifetime government pensioner back.on the active teat, while destroying the lives of families connected to the coal industry.

---
What's with this all-out campaign by mainscream media to give credence to a few (_*_)s' comment about an Old Navy ad featuring a mixed racial family? There are probably fewer Americans who haven't accepted such blind love and commitment than there are women in Bill Clinton's past.

From the "I know where I'm going on my next vacation" department - Online headline: "Italy court rules that stealing food when hungry and in need isn't a crime" -- Wow, I'm going to go to Italy stay in 5-star hotels, order "room service" every time I'm the least bit hungry, and walk out on the bill when I'm sated!

---
Instant repeat - Online headline: "Italy court rules that stealing food when hungry and in need isn't a crime" - Good grief.. instead of buying groceries, why not just go to  grocery store when you're "hungry" and eat off the shelves and produce counter, and if you eat steak tartare or sushi, bring a date and pull up chairs to the refrigerated meat display.

---
Online headline: "Obama names Trump as least 'equipped'" -- Good grief.. how does a enuch even know what "equipped" is?

---
I'm beginning to understand why Hillary doesn't used the term "Islamic terrorists" either.. she's using Bill Clinton's excuse of it depending on "how you define "IS IS".

---
From the "failed scale of economy" department - Online headline: "The Food and Drug Administration is using young lesbians, drag queens, and transgender individuals in a $36 million advertising campaign to encourage the LGBT community to quit smoking." -- Good grief.. we have over 300,000,000 people in the US, and a high estimate of 3.8% are credited with being LGBT.. that's about 11 million tops. no manufacturer  would spend that much money per market target and stay in business.. especially a market that responds negatively to any suggestions of societal compliance.

Online story: "Georgia's Republican governor vetoed a bill Tuesday allowing concealed handguns on college campuses, rejecting the proposal that a legislature controlled by his own party had easily approved in an election year" -- This is why I'm more than concerned about Deal creating and appointing 2 new Supreme Court Judges.

L-E story: " All local school districts improved their scores on the state’s overall index that measures how well they prepare children to be productive adults. * The results of the 2015 College and Career Ready Performance Index, which the Georgia Department of Education released Tuesday, show Muscogee County improved its score to an all-time high in the four-year history of the accountability system. On the 100-point scale, Muscogee improved 0.5 points this past year, from 68.5 in 2014 to 69.0 in 2015. Muscogee’s scores were 67.2 in 2012 and 66.5 in 2013." -- "how well they prepare children to be productive adults"? Good grief.. perpetual failing scores and socially promoting children out of the system is hardly preparing them to be adults! Besides, God gave them that when they were conceived, it's up to the parents and school system to add to God's plan, but ... that's not happening.

From above story: "In Chattahoochee County two of the three schools improved their CCRPI from 2014 to 2015. The elementary school’s score soared from 69.4 in 2014 to 85.9 in 2015, the middle school’s score fell from 50.0 to 41.5, and the high school’s score increased from 58.5 to 64.1." -- There NEEDS to be a better system installed to monitor the test construction and the scoring of these tests.. Any report that has more peaks and dips of a world class roller coaster doesn't look credible.

LIV's L-E "soundoff": "NRA: “President Obama’s obsession with gun control shows no boundaries.” All you have to do is look around to see that it’s the gun lobby’s obsession with insane gun decontrol that truly has no boundaries." -- Good grief.. obviously, as the prison Captain said to "Cool Hand Luke", "What we've got here is failure to communicate". There is one issue involved that 43 of the 44 presidents we've had have protected.. the 2nd Amendment, and now citizens are having to step in and thwart ZERO-bama's attempt to become a despot!

From the L-E's "Today in History" feature: "In 1961, the first group of “Freedom Riders” left Washington, D.C. to challenge racial segregation on interstate buses and in bus terminals." -- Just think, today that bus could just stay in Washington, DC where it is needed...to challenge racial segregation of the Congressional Black Caucus.

L-E story: "   Columbus Council, meeting for the first time this year as the Budget Review Committee, got its first in-depth overview of Mayor Teresa Tomlinson’s $270 million proposed fiscal 2017 budget. *  And, as always, well over half of the expense, 56.4 percent, goes to personnel costs." -- Actually, keeping the costs for employees at this level is a compliment to the City Manager and  Mayor TomLYINGson.(of course, losing $500K on the Aquatic Center annually eliminates all priase). but then again, we never know when she'll try to slip in something that's actually truthful. I believe the number of City employees is between 2200 & 2300. (please correct if you have better info) serving some 200 +/- thousand  Columbusites. Interestingly, the City and MCSD have close numbers on their perspective budgets  ($270M and $268M) but the City has better control of its employee costs. The City expends 56.4 % for salaries and benefits, while the MCSD spends nearly 85% on its personnel. Just imagine how nice our schools would look, how up-to-date the technology could be if the school system contained its personnel costs to 56.4%. On a $268,000,000.00 budget, personnel costs would plummet from about $228 Million to about $146 Million... and there'd be an additional $81,000,000 ANNUALLY to put into our students education.. Just think in 5 years, that additional $81,000,000.00 would exceed the revenues generated by any 10+ years of SPLOST taxes!

L-E Editorial headline/content: "Elections board ices sheriff’s race *  But the fact that all four challengers have somehow managed to run afoul of qualifying regulations leaves voters effectively disenfranchised in the 2016 election for sheriff. It’s just possible there’s something in what Smith said about a lack of adequate, or at least sufficiently clear, information." -- "voters effectively disenfranchised"? Good grief.. the citizens have been mercifully spared having a very competent sheriff  unseated for an inferior replacement!

L-E headline: "Jim Beam fills 14 millionth barrel of bourbon" -- Hmmm... seriuosly,, is this a milestone...or a millstone ?
