From the "Dad of the Year" department - Online story: " Fighting a brain tumor obviously wasn't easy for 8-year-old Gabriel Marshall, what his surgery left behind presented him with a new battle. * His father, 28-year-old Josh Marshall, told BuzzFeed News that Gabriel sometimes felt like a "monster" because of the large scar on his head. * "This broke my heart," Marshall said. "I told him if people wanted to stare, they could stare at both of us." * He took action by getting a tattoo of the same scar his son has on his own head.

I'm getting confused over why the Democratic Party even appeals to anyone, especially unions and job seekers .. as I look at reports involving the campaigns, the only people we see representing it  are protesters, foreign flag carriers, men who want to urinate in bathrooms and politicians who agree with them, students wanting "safe zones" on campuses and free tuition and politicians who agree with them, people who accept politicians who lie, and people who own/use guns illegally and are for taking guns away from law abiding citizens... and politicians who agree with them.

HuffPOOPOO story: "Supporters of LGBT, Muslim, and Latino rights gathered outside Trump Towers in New York to protest the presumptive Republican nominee." -- Hmmm once again, Hillary demonstrates her lack of leadership abilities by not being able to convince her base she can win in November.. Let's be honest.. if Hillary is the "lock" mainscream media proclaims she is, then none of this should be happening..

There is recent story out now about a nun at a Diamondbacks sucking back a large can of Miller Lite, and some people are "stunned"..why.. I have seen parishioners taking an auction to have a wine tasting dinner with their head priest to over $6,000.00.

Online headline: "Charlie Sheen makes bombshell HIV confession * The actor appeared on the 'Today' show on Tuesday morning -- and sat down with Matt Lauer for the first time since revealing he is HIV positive." -- Hmmm. it would be real news if Sheem would admit to what a jerk he is and turn himself in for emotional rehab..

---
Online headline: "Jon Stewart’s adopted horse Lily dies" -- It's happened, marrying within one's on gender isn't enough for liberals...

Ever ask yourself why would Muslims want to come to America? I wonder can only wonder how sharia law and missionary work abide together, so it must be for other reasons.

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Champion Golfer Rory McIlroy Withdraws From Rio Games Over Zika Concerns" -- Yeah right.. his performance at the US Open obviously wasn't considered...just his fear of not getting a medal..

From the "confirmation liberals will believe anything said by mainscream media" department - HuffPOOPOO "headLIE/story": "Here’s Why Your Scanner Freaks Out If You Try To Copy Money * Ever wondered what would happen if you tried to copy money on your printer or copier? Here’s your answer. * Nothing. * Nothing happens because most modern scanners recognize money and won’t copy or print it, according to a clip posted online by Wendoverproductions." -- Though I have already destroyed them, I had to try this at home on my HP Officejet 6700 printer/Scanner.. No problems.. guess liberals don't want Democratic Party voters to know they could probably do this in lieu of voting based Democrat campaign promises of "free stuff" , because  the politically correct DOJ/FBI/Treasury Departments would not prosecute them and there'd be no reason for them to vote.

Good grief..even pre-K children are being given lockdown drills on what to do if a shooter gets into their schools...oh, but the teachers in a Michigan school have been told they can/will get fired if they pray...I'm sure we can assume that only prayers of Christians will face such scrutiny.

In a speech yesterday, Hillary said Trump's economic plan wouldn't work. Hmmm .. Hillary states, as a woman, she's not as able at running our economy as a man (like her husband... and we know Newt Gingrich, not Slick Willie, was responsible for balancing our budget) yet Trump has shown he's a very successful business man. In addition, Hillary says Trump has manufacturing businesses in a host of countries...huh...doesn't that mean Trump is a better person at dealing with foreign governments than she is?

---
What leg does Hillary stand on when she talks about handling debt compared to Trump? The Democrats led by ZERO-bama have doubled the National Debt from $10 TRILLION to $20 TRILLION in less than 8 years, while Trump has made a personal fortune.

---
Hillary says we shouldn't begrudge a person being successful in business. hmmm.. based on her lifetime on the government teat doesn't sound like she knows what success is, much less be able to recognize someone like Trump's successes.

---
Think about this.. Dr Lewis says the amount of money the state of GA earmarked for a 3% raise for teachers was actually not enough so he has used mostf of it to fund other things.. yet he sees no problem with using about $7 Million out of our already stripped "Fund Balance" as well. You know, if there was a need to use "Fund Balance" funds, it would be better spent at giving our teachers the full 3% Governor Deal wanted the state funds to be used for.

---
AJC "headlie": "Gun sales in metro Atlanta jump after Orlando terror attack" -- Good grief.. gun sales "jumped" because ZERO-bama was out immediately blaming guns and not the Islamist terrorist, and called for more stringent gun bans rather than more stringent immigration vetting!

From the "it won't ever happen under Mayor TomLYINGson's watch" department - Online story: "Due to an increase in the county’s property values, Cobb Commission Chairman Tim Lee said on Tuesday he will propose reducing the county’s tax rate by 0.5 mills, a rate commissioners are scheduled to vote on next month." -- And let's parse Cobb County facts: If a house is fair market valued at $250,000.00 it is assessed a at $40,000.00 plus either another  $2,000,00 exemption for the state value or another $10,000.00 exemption for school taxes, and another $25,000.00 for General County exemption. In layman terms, a $250,000.00 homestead exempt house in Cobb County paid $1,115.30 in property taxes in 2015. The estimate for a homestead exempt $250,000.00 assessed value home in Muscogee County is $4,047.40.. Keep the freeze!

L-E story: " A Macon Superior Court judge has issued two rulings that all but eliminate Muscogee County Sheriff John Darr’s lawsuit against the city and much of its leadership, City Attorney Clifton Fay said Tuesday. *  Judge Philip Raymond, the third judge to preside over the lawsuit, ruled in the defendants’ favor in two motions for partial summary judgment, one on grounds that aspects of the sheriff’s case have been rendered moot and one on the grounds that state law supports the Consolidated Government’s budget process, making Darr’s pleas for remedy pointless. *  Fay, who is one of the defendants in the suit, said he was of course pleased with the ruling, which he said affirmed the rights of the mayor and Columbus Council to set the city’s budget." -- Hmm.. I have a solution.. let Mayor TomLYINGson budget the Sheriff's Office for prisoner control, and all federally and other court mandated bills for special and medial care simply be billed directly to Mayor TomLYINGson's office instead of Darr's.

L-E headline: "Parks & Rec Director Worsley leaving city * Worsley headed to job in Chesterfield, Va. Revitalized scandal-plagued department" -- Hmm.. the good ones are the first to leave... I was skeptical when Mayor TomLYINGson hired a "Dr." as a replacement director of Parks and Recreation, but Dr Worsley won me over by his consistent and correct evaluation of the Aquatic Center. Guess he recognized the pattern of Mayor TomLYINGson's method of trying to make department heads look bad so she could fire and replace them with puppets, and he had the insight to blaze his own path out of here.  Good luck. Dr. Worsley! Heaven help us here in Columbus....

Super-LIV's L-E "soundoff": " We have a deeply ignorant man running for president. But the scariest part is that he represents a deeply ignorant country." -- Wow.. it's even worse than we thought.. piblic education has digressed to the point that LIVs have no clue as to what "ignorant" is, much less that they are the half of the country actually shrouded in it.

L-E's " Thought for Today": “There is only one reason for an individual to sidestep to the useless side: the fear of a defeat on the useful side.” — Alfred Adler, Austrian psychotherapist (1870-1937). -- And what is more useless than not keeping score in a game and in distributing "participation" trophies? Guarantee it's not the conservative side that is the "useless side".
