Online headline: "China is bribing men to donate sperm using rose-gold iPhones" -- Good grief... can you imagine the "selfies" that will hit YouTube?

Online headline: "Palin: President Obama is 'a special kind of stupid'" -- Good grief.. I don't think his stupidity is "special" at all...

Online headline/story: "The Orlando shooter reportedly added his wife, 30-year-old Noor Salman, to his life-insurance policy and gave her access to his bank accountsbefore the attack, and now she's missing *  The gunman who killed 49 people at a gay Orlando nightclub early on Sunday morning apparently prepared for his own death before the shooting. *  Now, Salman has vanished" -- Good grief..the woman was under Grand Jury investigation involving a terrorist attack.., and no one thought to at least hold her on the charges as a precaution of flight?

Online headline: ""Mitt Romney dresses up as a Mexican wrestler, flashes his dad bod for charity: -- Hetm Trump,,build that WALL... NOW... (we'll reimburse you after November)... and put Romb=ney on the other side of it!

Online story: "Republican senators facing tough races this year may not get much help from their party's presidential nominee Donald Trump — indeed, he may be one reason why they are so vulnerable — so former president George W. Bush has come out of the political shadows to help them out." -- "Trump... may be one reason why they are so vulnerable "?  -- Good grief.. Republican Senators have become "vulnerable" because of the GOP/RNC lack of backbone.. the public pretty much showed that when they rejected Rubio, Cruz, and 15 other "RINOs" to name Trump as the leader they want.. it's time for individual RINOs to "man up".

Online story: "RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The governor of the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro declared a state of financial emergency on Friday, requesting federal funds to help fulfill obligations for public services during the Olympics, which start Aug. 5.Emergency measures are needed to avoid "a total collapse in public security, health, education, transport and environmental management," -- "total collapse in public security, health,......."? You know.. I believe I'm going to cancel my Olympic plans.. I'm more concerned about a "total collapse" of the grandstands I'd be sitting in...

Online headline: "Ryan might sue Trump if he tries to make one move" -- Good grief..After 8 years of ZERO-bama and Hillary, Ryan wants to sue Trump? Is there any doubt why Trump has excited the Republican/Conservative voters!

Online headline/story: "Gay Rights groups silent as Clinton Foundation takes millions from countries that imprison gays * The Clinton Foundation has accepted millions from Middle Eastern and other foreign governments that criminalize homosexuality – but prominent gay rights groups in America have stayed silent on the apparent disconnect between Hillary Clinton’s rhetoric and the donations.   *  "Unquestionably, they're not standing up for their principles," said Human Rights Foundation President Thor Halvorssen." -- "Unquestionably, they're not standing up for their principles"? How can even a Clintion supporter still concede that either Clinton has any "principle" that doesn't revolve around "me first/last/always"?  Hmm.. the 21st Century's equivalence to Marie Antoinette's "let them eat cake"  position..

L-E story: " The largest fundraising arm for the victims of the Pulse nightclub attack reversed course Friday and will now distribute millions of dollars directly to families and survivors instead of through nonprofit agencies. *  The OneOrlando fund’s decision comes a day after the families of victims from previous mass shootings at Virginia Tech,Columbine High School and elsewhere said in a letter that they objected to the fund distributing money only to nonprofits. *  “We believe that donations that are collected in the wake of national tragedies for victims should be disbursed directly TO them,” the letter said. “That is why Americans are giving. To help the victims directly.” * Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, who along with other local officials is backing the efforts of OneOrlando, said officials heeded that advice. He said victims’ families and survivors need quick assistance for groceries, rent and medical expenses. So far, the fund has raised about $7.5 million. *  “We are going to make sure the funds go to the victims’ families. We have not worked out the details,” Dyer said." -- "we have not worked out the details"?  How about the fraud potential? How about IRS regulations concerning distributions? You know.. while everyone IS concerned,, and I mean everyone ... there needs to be even more concern about accounting and auditing the funds that have poured in from Americans from all walks of life.. Not having the "checks and balances" of a legitimate nonprofit organization just facilitates the greed of one or more people in distribution of these funds.. especially the distribution as "expenses/salaries" to the ones claiming the right to choose who gets what. Oh.. and whether or not your love and compassion is a IRS approved deduction next April.

L-E story:  "Steady hiring has lowered unemployment throughout the U.S. But rates have also fallen for a bad reason: many of those out of work have stopped searching for jobs. The government doesn’t count people as unemployed unless they are actively looking for work. That has pushed the rate lower than it would otherwise be in many states." --  "government doesn’t count people as unemployed unless they are actively looking for work"? Good grief.. how hard can it be to convince slackers not to look for work if a political party's agenda calls for bribing them with more "entitlements" if they don't seek work?
