Let's all pause a moment and reflect.. empathize, with the grief of the victims and families . of the dead and alive, in Orlando..
 
---
LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Not one living president of the United States endorses or associates with Donald Trump. They may just know something about this job and what it takes." -- " may just know something about this job and what it takes"? -- Hmmm.. or could it be simply that libs and centrists fear that Trump will remind the world that a strong, non-political business leader will make things great again...or everyone!

---
What is it with Romney? I guess he doesn't remember  that a lot of us held our nose and voted for him in 2012?

---
This  week is the Miss Georgia Pageant held here in Columbus.. 49 young women with looks, talent, and ambition.... and lots of hair will grace our town. Don't you know "Locks of Love" would love to have a post-contest fund raising event.

---
Online story: "A Telemundo reporter was viciously punched in the head Wednesday on live TV.
Iris Delgado was at the tail end of her live shot at Philadelphia City Hall when a woman sauntered up to her and said, "Excuse me, excuse me." It's unclear what set the woman off, but the punch is painful to watch. She was punched 3 times and pulled to the ground. * You hear the anchor say, "¡Ay Dios mio!" (Oh my God). * Law enforcement tells us Iris complained of pain to the right side of her head.  * The attacker was arrested." -- Hmmm... but no mention that the woman who suckerpunched the reporter was black though it is obvious in the video clip. Looks like "unity" within the Democratic voter base ..isn't......

---
From the "it's not one world" department - Online story: "In a remote area of Afghanistan, where thousands of years of hardscrabble tribal culture increasingly mixes with a resurgent Taliban militancy, this is how Fazl Ahmad allegedly died. * Local officials in Ghor province said one of Ahmad’s distant relatives was suspected of killing a former Taliban commander. In December, militants dragged Ahmad from his house and cut out his eyes in retaliation. * Ahmad was still alive and screaming when the attackers began carving the skin off his chest, leaving his heart exposed. Then they threw the 21-year old laborer off a 10-story cliff, officials said. * “They skinned him alive,” said Ruqiya Naeel, a member of parliament from the area." -- Sharia vigilantism? You know, a professor at Florida Atlantic University recently praised sharia law punishments of butchery as a way to stop crime.. he's still on staff and teaching...

Saw a huge grocery customer riding one of those electric shopping carts ...I normally have empathy with people suffering from debilitating obesity, but this time I felt sorry for the cart.

---
Have you seen that ad about the refrigerator with the built in cameras that allow you to see what's in the "frig" via your "smart phone" when you're at the grocery store? Hmmm, I thought the frig light cut off when you closed the door?

---
What exactly is the basis of the law suits against Trump University? If Trump U. is at fault for a student not getting a job or not being well educated, then most every public high school student probably has a case against their local school board.

---
You know, if you simply put aside counting the all "superdelegates" until the actual Democratic Party Convention, the pledged count won in the primaries/caususes actually favors Bernie Sanders 1779 to 1622 for Hillary. It's doubly embarrassing for Hillary since Bernie supporters were not swayed into her camp even when she adopted Bernie's campaign promises for all the free stuff.

---
Good grief...In an interview with Brett Baer, Hillary said the economy has evolved because it's climbed out of the abyss of the last 8 years, and making government bigger will be the catalyst to make it grow. Huh? You know, if the economy looked promising, voters would be lined up at the employment lines rather than welfare offices..and the proof would be that Trump wouldn't be running for president, he'd be hiring people to complete more profit making deals.

---
Who said Trump couldn't..wouldn't apologize for something he erred in saying..Saturday, Trump said he’d apologize because his name calling “is an insult to Pocahontas, not Warren.”

---
Looks like Islam has declared war on the LGBT community...maybe now, as diversity has begun to cannibalize itself, ZERO-bama will finally call them Islamist terrorists .

---
A tragedy? Orlando was not a tragedy..it was an atrocious direct attack on America!

---
Once again, ZERO-bama disappointed our country...he placed the Orlando mass murder blame on guns....on the guns...not the Isamist jihadist who pulled the trigger and killed 50 people. November cannot come soon enough.

---
You know.. how come there's so little coverage by mainscream media for Louis Farrakhan's "Nation of Islam"?

---
Speaking of apologies.. when's the mainscream media going to demand that ZERO-bama, Hillary, Pelosi, Feinstein, and Schumer apologize to America's future?

---
Pittsburgh has a lot to celebrate this year.. they won the Stanley Cup this weekend, and they'll get to vote Trump in November!

---
There's a new bombshell book out.. "Hillary.. the other Woman".. I figured it was an autobiography by Bill.

---
Online headline: "Sanders reveals 'commitment' he wants from Clinton" -- Good grief.. after camapigning against her for a year or so, Bernie is the last person in the Democratic Party I would suspect who would  believe anything Hillary promised!

---
From the "huh?" department - Online story: "James Corden opened the 2016 Tony Awards with poignant words, addressing the Orlando mass shooting that happened just hours before the curtain rose on Broadway's biggest night...."Hate will never win.". --- Hmmm.. I have no clue who James Corden is, but he should be out at Trump rallies with this message for the pro-Hillary rioters.

---
Online headline: "Michelle Obama's best looks ever" -- Oooops, I would have thought the look she gave ZERO-bama at Nelson Mandela's Memorial Service when he was flirting with Germany's Angela Merkel would have easily topped the list..

---
From the "I didn't see this coming" department - HuffPOOPOO headlines: "It's Not A Coincidence That The Orlando Attack Happened During Ramadan" * "Orlando: Not Foreign Fighters or Homegrown Terrorists--Just A Radical Islamic Terrorist" -- Good grief.. Obviously, the HuffPOOPOO just called out Hillary and ZERO-bama... ...has the HuffPOOPOO inadvertently endorsed Trump!

---
L-E story: " At a community meeting last week, a Department of Natural Resources consultant who’s to plan a park at Columbus’ Old River Road Standing Boy Wildlife Management Area proffered an epic menu of options * Embedded in this proposal is the circular logic that you can’t have a state park unless you build in enough revenue to run it like a business: It must be self-sustaining, after taxpayers pay for the design, engineering, architecture, clearing, grading, sewer, water and electricity." -- Hmmm and why are state projects mandated to break even (or better), but projects of Mayor TomLYINGson - i.e. the Recycling Center, Bike Trail, Dog Run, TAD's and. of course, the Queen TT Lounge and the Aquacenter allowed to be built without any forecast of revenue that will maintain/sustain them?

LIV's sarcastic L-E "soundoff": "Thanks to council for an extra two hours of sleep. I’ve been getting up at 5 for swimming workouts since 1965. Now I can tell clients I’ll be in a little later in the morning." -- Hey.. build yourself a pool.. hey, if the city pools charged a proper fee, ypou'd have already paid for a pool in yopur backyard.. of course, you could just join the YMCA...
 
---

L-E headline: "MUSCOGEE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD * Goldberg to be recommended as chief operations, facilities officer" -- Good grief.. what are they going to pay him with.. funds that do not exist? Projected budgets for this and next year are topping the 86/87 percent range for overall salaries/benefits.. this explains why there's not near enough left in the budget for a proper facilities maintenance program, and now the MCSB is going to approve another $100,000+ chunk of it to pay someone to watch the facilities rot away?
