Ironic.. in August of 1974, Richard M. Nixon resigned from the presidency for the good of the country. Moronic is that he did so on pending charges that were a lot less damaging that the charges Hillary has been investigated of by the FBI. More ironic is that Hillary was working on Nixon's investigation, and got booted out for ethics.. uh..lack of ethics reasons.

Yesterday, I questioned a Reuters' report on a death of a man in Baton Rouge during a police confrontation.. IO stand by my point that the Reuter's report ambiguously vacillated as to pertinent facts regarding race, but for the record, follow-up info does show that the two officers were white. This doesn't make them guilty of wrong doing, but a report will be following when all the details are examined.

Chicago appears to have had some hot fireworks over the weekend of July 4th, looks like about 70 shootings and 7 of those resulted in death... ah...neighbors will be neighbors.. So far this year, there have been 2,061 shootings and 308 have died from them.. How about a round of applause for the Chicago emergency rooms staffs for their hard work at keeping the death numbers down.

---
From the "no surprise" department: We are not getting the truth about the number of "mass shooting"  from ZERO-bama and spinmeisters.. in Chicago alone.. and we all know that Chicago probably has the strictest gun laws in our nation, there have been 266 multiple/mass shooting through the first half on 2016.. resulting in 624 people being shot, and 81 of those being killed. Sure looks like ZERO-bama abandoned his Community Organizer job before it was finished.

---
Last year, Chicago shootings caused $165 Million in taxpayer related costs for ER treatments, ambulance rides, and autopsies. This year shootings have already cost Chicago taxpayers $108 million.. I expect ZERO-bama's spinmeisters to announce OObamaCRAP has been a boon for Chicago's economy as it's created more medical related jobs.

If there was ever a time to "gird our loins" and stand our ground against government going after your legally owned guns, never forget that the FBI & DOJ has shown it's not going to protect us from corrupt career politicians.

---
You know... Hillary can finally put something she's accomplished on her resume.. without a doubt, she has successfully destroyed America's faith in it's legal system..

---
US Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced that the investigation against Hillary is officially closed. Let's close Lynch's employment contract with the government.. elect Trump!

---
All I can figure is that FBI Director Comey got stumped.on the definition of "intentional" and called Slick Willie to see how he defined it. Hmmmm ..maybe that's what Clinton and Lynch were discussing.

---
Hey, Rudy Giuliani says he could get Hillary convicted on just what he's seen released. I guess prosecutors like Giuliani just aren't "reasonable" in Comey's eyes.

Online story: "Hillary Clinton has a new plan for making college affordable again, one that bears a striking resemblance to that of her primary opponent. On Wednesday, the presumptive Democratic nominee unveiled a proposal to guarantee free tuition at public universities for students in families earning up to $85,000 a year, with that threshold rising to $125,000 by 2021." -- Good grief.. Hillary has destroyed America's legal system, and now she says she'll destroy both the economy and job markets with one program.. With the taxes it would confiscate from businesses, there would be no one who won't eventually qualify for "free college, as business owners have their businesses stripped of assets, and their employees  would have to be let go, and those who "graduate" from "free college" won't even have jobs available for them. What's worse is that current college students don't have enough education to realize these ramifications.

From the "blaspheme" department - HuffPOOPOO story: "New York City’s iconic Empire State Building will shine green on Wednesday evening in celebration of Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that marks the end of Ramadan. * Around 1.6 billion Muslims around the world marked the end of the holy month of fasting with one of the most joyous days of the year. As The Huffington Post’s religion editors note, the day is often full of merriment, thanksgiving and feasts. A common greeting during the holiday is Eid mubarak, which means “Have a blessed Eid!” * The Empire State Building has been lit green ― a color long associated with Ramadan ― for several years, and it has become “an annual lighting” tradition, a spokesman told Agency France-Presse." -- Good grief.. why not do something more appropriate,,, either blow the Empirse State Building up.. or cut off the top of it.. either seems more in tune with how Islamist terrorist preferred his past Ramadan. Save the "green" for St Patrick's Day!

Ah! Thanks for y'all helping my sister's college, Sweet Briar, defeat Alfred University in their battle for "Best Mascot".. It was a close 51%-49% final results, but when the call went out to the BCers', Alfred U had a double digit lead, so pat yourself on the backs for making the difference..

---
Been thinking about the recent ruling of a judge who ordered Christian Mingle to allow same-sex searches (bet he wouldn't have made that  order if it was "Muslim Mingle" in the lawsuit) .. My question is: How do activist judges give orders to Christian churches/organizations when upper courts have already decided that there has to.be a separation of church & state?

---
You know, from what I can see, the Republicans that are not sold on Trump are those who haven't recognized they have fallen into the trap of political correctness, and don't recognize they are a bigger problem for the future of America than Hillary.

---
Have you noticed that when Hillary cites a newspaper or magazine editorial assessment of Trump, she never cites one that has credibility outside of Liberalville?

---
Word out is that Hillary has already assured Comey & Lynch can keep teir jobs if she is elected. Whether true or simply a rumor, the thought of either remaining at their jobs smells to high water. Of course, Bill set a precedence for Hillary by keeping Janet Reno for his second term.

L-E headline: "No end to Afghan war: Obama slows pace of U.S. troop withdrawal * In new drawdown plan, president said he’ll leave 8,400 troops to address the country’s “precarious” security situation Ultimately, it will be up to the next president to decide the level of U.S. involvement" -- Whew.. finally .. a campaign promise he's not going to keep.. He said he'd "fundamentally transform America" and he has ( by killing the DOMA laws, pushing for men to use girl's locker room facilities, and opening our doors to illegal aliens). he promised to close GITMO by releasing terrorists back into the Muslim world, and pulling out our troops in Iraq so ISIS could benefit from all the weapons left behind. Vote Trump!

From L-E story on MCSD budget: "63.7 PERCENT - That’s the percentage of the budget spent on instruction ($174,983,265), meaning the teaching of children. Although it’s an increase in dollars compared to FY 2016 (from $170,226,157), it’s a decrease in portion (from 65 percent)." -- Well since 86% of the revenues are paid out in salaries/benefits,that means that the total of $235,000,000.00 is paid overall in salaries and benefits, If only $174,000,000.00 is making it into the classrooms, then $61,000,000.00 is going for non-instructional positions.. sounds like we either have "too many chiefs-to-warriors ratio" or the chiefs are making too much compared to the warriors. Since it''s about 1-to-3 ration of non-classroom-to-actual classroom ratio.. even students cursed by Common CRAP math should be able to figure this problem out.

From the same story: "$189,707,707 - The state never has fully funded its Quality Basic Education formula since it was enacted in 1985, but the MCSD administration still tracks the amount of austerity reductions compared to what the formula says it earns in state revenue. Since FY 2003, the district’s cumulative austerity reductions amount to $189,707,707, including $3,010,828 for FY 2017." -- Hmm.. now we see what the problem is.. QBE has been defunct for 13 years, and the MCSD still has people assigned.. and paid.. to keep up with this running figure.. Wonder how much better off our students might have been if the dollars to keep track of insignificant data were redirected into the classrooms these last 13 years?

L-E headline/story: "Tree police in the Columbus Historic District? Are you kidding? *  Don’t you just love it when city government “swings” into action? * Meet Eric Gansauer, the city of Columbus’ forestry administrator. He has been a busy man in recent weeks working the lower end of Broadway in the Historic District. * Using the city’s Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance as his sword, Mr. Gansauer has been a diligent public servant. His job is to enforce the tree ordinance. * And he takes his job seriously. Kind of the way Barney Fife took his job seriously in the fictional town of Mayberry. * “The tree ordinance does not allow you to attach or hang anything on a city tree,” Mr. Gansauer said on Tuesday. * No, it doesn’t, sir. * One couple hung a baby’s seat swing — you know, the cute hard plastic pink ones — from a tree limb. *  Somebody else has erected two well-crafted rope swings in the 500 block median. * Others, flaunting the city law and sticking it to the man, have put up squirrel feeders and bird houses." -- Hmmm.. yet Mr Gansauer has no problem with cutting off limbs in an historic Oak tree in the Braodway median and attaching ropes to other limbs and promoting a "tree exploration event" annually.

On the other hand, it's nice to see Chuck Williams get the "fire" back into the pit of his stomach and tackle other City created issues.. like anything Mayor TomLYiNGson lies about.. or  the quagmire allowed to stagnate within the MCSB.. heck, maybe \he'll even expose the issues his wife ignored the first time she was on the MCSB... before the runoff election she in...

Latest from Hillary: "Yesterday, Donald Trump released his fundraising numbers -- with the help of the RNC, he raised $51 million in June." -- Yeah, and I bet he raised more that that yesterday, alone, following Comey's denial of justice.

L-E headline/story: "Two men cut plea deal in Super 8 Motel murder case *  the plea deals to one count each of attempted armed robbery, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years." -- Good grief.. now they two felons won't have mention of the fact that a person was murdered in that attempted robbery, and will be back on the street as soon as next year with all the appeals and early release programs the Democrats push on our justice system..
