From the "here's an easy pot to stir rather than ask the right questions" department - Online headline/story: "Stun guns used more on minorities  *  An analysis of Connecticut's stun gun data from 2015 shows that police disproportionately used the "non-lethal" weapons on people of color and people they think have emotional disturbances" -- Hmmm... and the simple explanation.. police use their weapons pretty much only when a "suspect" refuses to cooperate with police instructions/orders.

From the "where did you say the buck stopped?" department - Online headline/story: "US sailors divulged sensitive information while held by Iran - Navy * The Navy report blamed the incident on poor planning, leaders who did not properly consider risks, and complacency, a lack of oversight and low morale. The sailors were traveling in two vessels to Bahrain from Kuwait.* "Our actions on that day in January and this incident did not live up to our expectations of our Navy," Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson said. "Big incidents like this are always the result of the accumulation of a number of small problems." -- Hmmmm.. looks like a simple case of "lack of leadership".. and military morale and leadership starts in the Oval Office.

In a Wisconsin  case involving the death of a woman's 11-year-old daughter and two younger nieces based on the mother being involved in "texting". the jury found the mother "not guilty".. excuse me, I don't, but I do not think a jury can ever remove the guilt of the mother..

---
A picture of "Cait" on the cover of Sports Illustrated "popped up" on my computer's news feed.. I do not think.. no, actually, I KNOW I will never buy or look at another Sports Illustrated.. again. I'm just thankful it was not the "swimsuit issue".

Columbus, GA got a breath of fresh air.. one of our star manufacturers just announced a $65 MILLION dollar overhaul to service/maintain its newest Geared TurboFan engines.. this is great news for our economy.. and a blessing for Mayor TomLYINGson... let's just hope she doesn't try to take ALL... uh, ANY credit for this..

From the "Reagan was right,, liberals just know so much that just isn't true" department - LIV's L-E "soundoff": "   Please explain what is wrong with a free college education. Most of the other free nations offer that." -- While some countries do have a "free" higher education option, the option is based on whether the government feels a student is worthy of attending such.. sorta like winning a lottery.. most  students will not get the opportunity..

L-E headline/story: "Judge asked to halt execution for inmate *  Lawyers for a Georgia inmate with an execution date looming are asking a judge to let a jury determine whether the man is ineligible for execution because of intellectual disability. *  John Wayne Conner, 60, is scheduled to be put to death July 14 at the state prison in Jackson. He was convicted of beating his friend J.T. White to death 34 years ago during an argument after a night of drinking and marijuana use. * Executing Conner now, who has spent 34 years on death row, would also be unconstitutionally cruel and unusual, his lawyers argued. They said it would amount to double jeopardy." -- Good grief! Sitting in jail at taxpayer expense is probably a worse crime that the killing he was convicted of.. whoever has been blocking the carrying out of the death sentence should not only pay us back, but be included in the final death act as a co-conspirator.
 
---
L-E headline: "U.S. military to allow transgender men and women to serve openly" -- Good grief.. serving in the military is a voluntary action.. with approval! Everybody who serves should be ready to honor existing military rules, regulations, and regimens, not demand special treatments.

Pop test: Other than my report, has anybody seen a news story about Democratic Party Congressman Charlie Rangel's ethic charges?

---
Online story: " According to a CNN poll released last week, 85 percent of Americans support barring people on the FBI's terror watch list or on the no-fly list from purchasing guns." -- First, this was a CNN poll, and I'm surprised that 100% of the people CNN polled wouldn't answer the way CNN 'feels". More importantly, every American should be in fear of losing any right by being  simply placed on a "no fly list".. that capability in the hands of our government would give government he simple tool it needs to confiscate and existing guns and prohibit future purchase to EVERY American law abiding (that's a KEY WORD) citizen. We've already heard Democrats accusing all retired/discharged military veterans as unstable, and ZERO-bama has already used the IRS to prevent conservative groups from getting 501 (c) 3 & 4 statuses.. and who hasn't heard of the horror stories on Seniors getting Social Security being denied their checks because some government bureaucrat has notated that they are dead.. Scarey stuff here.. Vote Trump for president, and real conservatives for Congress..

---
Now the State Department says budget constraints will prevent the full release of Hillary's Clinton Foundation e-mails for 27 months.. well, how did departments like the  the DOJ find money to inject into George Zimmerman's and Officer Darren Wilson's persecutions? Or why doesn't ZERO-bama just issue an Executive Order to get it done?

---
That Clinton-Lynch private conference... First, why would we believe anything Bill Clinton..well, any Clinton ever says, but when you throw in the facts that not  only was Lynch appointed US Attornet General by ZERO-bama, Lynch would not have evenb been in the running for that appointment except for the fact that Bill Clinton appointed her to a lower Attorney General's position when he was president?  Now throw in Lynch's statement that the conversation was "primarily" social in nature.. OK.. what about the "secondary" aspects?

---
Online headline: "Celebrity named highest-grossing actress of all time" -- Ooops my bad.. I was thinking Rosie O'Donnell/Roseanne Barr but I was thinking the "grossest" not "grossing" as in financial success.

---
Online headline/story: "Theater chain seeks legal fees from survivors after being found not liable for security lapses * The owners of the Aurora, Colorado, theater where 12 moviegoers were killed in a shooting in 2012 want nearly $700,000 from survivors and families of the victims." --  Good grief.. what a public suicidal strategy! The theater should only be suing the lawyers who brought the suit!

---
Online headline; "4 states where Obama can help Clinton's campaign" -- Hmm.. let's see:
1 - state of chaos?
2 - state of Islam?
3 - state of deception?
4 - state of socialism?
