A smart person knows when to turn his/her agenda on/off.. ZERO-bama just exposed himself as "unsmart". He went from an impassioned patriot to a flaming idiot at the Memorial for the 5 assassinated police officers in Dallas.. This man (let's give him he benefit of the doubt) will not.. cannot  accept himself as the reason the racial rift has become cavernous under his administration.. and direction.

---
ZERO-bama said he knows how far we've come..I assumed he was referring to racial tolerance...I wish he would have a sit down with Hillary, Jesse, Al Sharlatan, Farrakhan, and the Congressional Black Caucus, the New Black Panthers, and BLM and explain to them what he knows.

From the "remember the Brexit poll" department - Online story: " (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton extended her lead over Republican rival Donald Trump to 13 percentage points in a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Tuesday * The July 8-12 poll showed 46 percent of likely voters supported Clinton, the former secretary of state, while 33 percent supported Trump, a celebrity real estate developer. Another 21 percent did not support either candidate." -- Besides the fact that Reuters' polls have deteriorated in trustworthiness, there is another "read" in these figures.. After 25 years of campaigning, and carrying a database of government dependent voters, Hillary just cannot.. nor will not.. exceed the 51% threshold of voters.. On the other hand, Trump has committed voters, and that "other" 21 percent is not going to vote for Hillary when they go to vote..

Seems former local high school player Is(_*_)i(_*_)h CRAPS-Well.. now of the Cleveland Bowns and once was a UGA Bulldog..is up to his core problem again.. in his own words, an "extremely poor decision”... He posted a picture of a police officer getting his throat slit on his Instagram account after the killings of A**** S******* and P******* C****** last week. Cleveland management says is not going to let him off with just an apology.. we'll see.. hopefully the NFL and fans will hold the Cleveland Brown managements'' feet to the fire.

That's it.. no Canadian National Anthem ever again on American soil (other than if some small miracle happens and a Canadian wins an Olympic Gold Medal at an American Olympic site). No amount of apology should be grounds for an invitation to a Canadian singing group to perform at any American sporting event.. INCLUDING Hockey and Curling!

Good grief.. a brother and sister were fired from their jobs at a Boy Scout Camp in Virginia for endangering the reputation of the Boy Scouts.. Their dastardly deed.. trying to save the life of an injured Bald Eagle they came across. I am offended that any Boy Scout representative would consider trying to save the life of a Bald Eagle anything but "elevating" the Boy Scout reputation, but let's face it, the Boy Scouts' reputation has pretty much hit bottom for not standing firm on it's all boys membership policy.

Online headline: "Obama: I've Made the US Stronger, More Prosperous, Safer, More Influential" -- Hmmm.. I do believe ZERO-bama just broke the tie between him and Hillary as the worst liar to ever ride on Air Force 1.

---
2010 Online headline:French Leader Sarkozy Slams Obama, Warns He Might Be Insane" -- Who knew.. Sarkozy was a visionary....

---
Online headline: "First Black Miss Alabama: "I Don't Feel Sad for the Officers that Lost Their Lives...Shooter was a Martyr"-- Obviously, the judges did not ask her the right question during the Miss Alabama competition.. a good start would be to revoke her scholarship...

---
I repeat myself..why do Republicans allow Democrats to ask questions..even speak .. at Congressional Committee convenings. Rep.John Conyers, D-MI, ranking Committee Democrat ..well after his opening rant during the testimony of AG Loretta Lynch, "rank" opinion. Where'd he get the opinion that this investigation was about "impeaching" Hillary.. Hillary is not a current government official subjected to Congressional impeachment/trial rituals..she's being investigated for lying under oath in a previous Congressional inquiry.

---
Did it seem to you that Loretta Lynch ready had her talking points prepared to respond to John Conyers' softball questions?

---
What point did Conyers mean to make when he stated Loretta Lynch was the first African-American woman to be appointed US Attorney General.. we've already had an African-American and we've already had a woman to "man" this post prior to Lynch being appointed.

---
You know, I find it hard to believe that the two highest department heads of government offices charged with our safety, Lynch of the DOJ, and Comey of the FBI, would not record conversations with either Clinton so that verification of what was said would be available to support Lynch's and Comey's reports of what was discussed.

---
Online headline: "Lynch accused at hearing of 'dodging' tough questions" -- "dodging"? What Loretta Lynch was doing was refusing to answer questions by passing them off to her underling..it's as she was proud of finding a way to plead "the fifth in order not to incriminate Hillary"

---
You know, the Democrats have no problem picking a candidate..it was basically a coin flip between a socialist and a communist. On the other hand, the Republicans didn't have as much trouble..out of 17 contenders, Trump ran away with it because most the other 16 were a better fit in the Democrat Primaries.

It's disheartening to listen to Bernie Sanders believing that raising the minimum wage to $15.00 (i.e. a "living wage") per hour. Low wages are not near the problem as runaway inflation caused by increasing the National Debt, and simply printing up extra money whenever more is needed.

---
Listening to Bernie rant about Hillary was as humorous as Will Ferrell SNL skit. When every Bernie mentioned "free stuff", the crowd roared, but when he mentioned blacks/whites/latinos/lgbt's working hard together, the crowd volume fell off the table... I haven't figured out which of two words turned the crowd off..."work" or "together".

---
Hillary said we must repair our broken justice system....huh? Wasn't she just the one that just lowered the hammer on it?

---
Hillary wants to solve things by eliminating minority deaths by police.officers yet doesn't mention most of these deaths are during incidents where police are called in to help in an ongoing crime. Where is her concern for the black-on-black street shootings/crimes that create the 911 calls?

---
Hillary says "we" are going to create high paying base jobs by creating more green energy jobs. Excuse me, but how are we going to create businesses that want higher priced energy expenses, or how does she plan to export green energy to other countries? Truth is, even American companies who move to foreign companies will not import overpriced American "green energy" if it was even possible

---
Our nation's education and economic platform is worse than we imagined..there's no way so many people could hear Hillary's "solutions", and believe she knows anything about anything but lying.

---
Once again, Hillary dodges the opportunity to exhibit..demonstrate..leadership...She had the opportunity to go ahead and name her VP choice, but wants to wait and see who Trump names. That's the problem ZERO-bama has and it looks like Hillary will follow suit.

---
Online headline: "Hillary Clinton Vetting Retired Admiral Stavridis to Be Her VP" -- Hmmm .. Hillary says she's going to past control of the economy to Bill, and now may pass the control of the military to another man.. just how can this be a step forward for women.. or a reason to elect a figurehead woman as president?

---

LIV's L-E "soundoff": "So very Christlike * Trump’s claim to the “born-again” tribe is a joke. His worldview is incompatible with Christianity. Trump worships power and shows contempt for the weak and the vulnerable." -- Hmmm.. how little this (_*_) understands Christianity,, we all worship THE power of God through Christ.. doing so makes us guardians.. protectors to the weak and vulnerable.. in fact Trump is motivated to protect the weak and vulnerable FROM the ongoing clutches of Hillary and the Democrats.

 

---

 LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Murder is murder, even if that person wears a badge. Law enforcement officers should face criminal charges if they kill unarmed citizens." -- Hmmm and what do you call it when an unarmed, handcuffed criminal catches an officer of the law off guard, and takes the officers; gun and kills him and others?

L-E story: "Community activist Marquese “Skinny” Averett was granted a permit Tuesday for a peaceful rally and march at the Columbus Government Center at noon Saturday. * During a 4 p.m. news conference outside the Public Safety Center, Averett said the rally is aimed at calling attention to police brutality across the nation." -- You know.. a better solution would be that "Skinny" hold a rally to promote all the good the police do around the country and our community.. harping on the very few bad situations (and most of those would probably have been avoided if the subject had simply listened  and obeyed the police officer(s) orders) and making those aberations the focal point is self-fulfilling continued animosity.

In the upcoming Republican Primary runoff election between State Rep Mike Crane and former West Point mayor Drew Ferguson, Ferguson is taking an awful lot of credit for the economic impact that KIA has brought to the area.. FTR - Ferguson was neither the mayor nor an influence on the decision that KIA made. This reminds me of ZERO-bama claiming that businesses can't take all the  credit for the success of their hard work.

 

 

L-E headline/story: "Columbus Councilors talk about race with NAACP activists * El-Amin listened quietly, then responded respectfully. * El-Amin said when she came to Columbus six years ago, she felt like she was in a time warp because of the level of injustices tolerated by the community." -- What BS.. She came to Columbus with a chip on her shoulder and hasn't removed it yet.

L-E headline: "Pokemon Go’s popularity is also warping real life" -- Well, at least kids are getting outside instead of parking themselves on their couches with their eyes glued to their smartphones. Of course, now they are rambling the streets with their eyes glued to their smartphones.. look for sharp increases of pedestrian/vehicle accidents.
