It's sorta sad when you think about it.. Hellary has raised 100s of millions of dollars to help her get the word out about the good things she has done or accomplished... but has nothing to talk about. Unless you consider that a lot of it has come from the banking industry so she CAN'T talk about them.

From the "look what I stumbled across browsing the I-net" department. -- Last year, Baltimore, Chicago, and Washington, D.C, three cities with probably THE toughest gun control laws on the books, had homicide rates that raised our nations murder rates for 2015 even though the rest of the country DROPPED.  Chicago, particularly, has been in the public eye for years as has Washington, D.C., but Baltimore was under the radar until the mayor told the police to give the rioters/looters "space to "those who wished to destroy" . Well, 2015 was the worst kill rate per population this century.. In fact, Baltimore is a once great city in failure mode. In 1950, Baltimore had a population of 950,000 people and was the 6th most populous city in America.. in 2000, Baltimore was down to 650,000 and dropped to the 18th most populous city. Now Baltimore's population is around 622,000 and is only the 29th biggest city in America. You guessed it, there hasn't been a Republican mayor in Baltimore since 1967.. sorta ties in with the beginning of LBJ's "Great Society/War on Poverty.

What is it that Congressman Trey Gordy's new image makes you think about? My first thoughts were of Santa Claus for the  Oompa Loompas. Maybe he should rethink that beard.

Dwayne Wade had a cousin shot and wounded on the streets of Chicago in 2012.. Yesterday, another cousin was shot and killed.. in the middle of the afternoon as she was pushing a baby stroller on the way to register her older children for school. Chicago. Chicago had 508 homicides in 2015.. and already has 480 this year.. yes, Chicago hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1931.

Oh, since we're on a roll.. Washington, D.C. began having a mayor in 1975... NONE have been Republicans.. and, since it "seems to matter" all have been African-Americans.

From the "wake up call" department - Online headline: "2-year-old taken off life support against family's will" --  Welcome to California and OobamaCRAP!

Online story: "Paul Wolfowitz, a Republican adviser to former U.S. President George W. Bush, plans to vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the November presidential election despite his "serious reservations," Der Spiegel magazine reported on Friday." -- Hmm.. they say, time reveals all.. it seems, at best, that Bush was a RINO after all.

HuffPOOPOO headline: "5 Reasons Why North American Retirees Are Flocking To Mexico" -- Hmmm.. the usual.. weather, cost of living.etc etc.. but they obviously left off the biggest reason.. most of the gang members have moved to America.

Had lunch with a few jocks from various 60s CHS classes, and most of us met again at the CHS-Jordan football game last night. My bride and I left at halftime and CHS had a 43-21 lead. I think I figured out how the MCSD saved money this year...they cut out defensive coaches. Oh.. final score 62-21!

New ball game... Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was on Fox yesterday and said she was liking Trump's job and school plans. Now we just need to pray that Hellary doesn't buy the votes back with more promises she won't keep.

We better not get too excited about the U of Chicago dean who said there would be no "safe zones" or speaker cancellations. Sounds good, but probably just means that no conservative speakers will get invited at all.

L-E headline: "Two arrested, three wanted in Deonn Carter murder case" -- A pox on any taxpayer funded lawyer who helps them plead "not guilty"! Oh, and I'd know if any of the 5 graduated from a local high school, and whether they earned or were just awarded diplomas..

Even mainscream media doesn't understand the black vote. The black is not tied to Hellary, it's allegiance is to Democrat programs & and someone with a solution to poverty is going to be attractive. Vote Trump!

L-E headline/story: "Spencer leads the way with most improvement on ACT * By Mark Rice * Spencer is the only local school to increase its average composite score on the four ACT subject tests of English, math, reading and science by at least 1 point. Comparing the 2015 and 2016 results, Spencer’s composite score increased by 1.1 points, from 16.2 to 17.3. The highest score possible is 36." -- Another fluff piece protecting his wife's job with the MCSD.. With 36 being the top score and 18 being the average/mean. less than 18 is a complete failure.. While acknowledging progress is motivational, it is hardly worth celebrating. Of course, when the writer has an agenda, it seems like the "write thing to do".

L-E headline/story: "U.S. wants to force lower speeds on truck and bus drivers *  The U.S. is seeking to forcibly limit how fast trucks, buses and other large vehicles can travel on the nation’s highways. A new proposal Friday would impose a nationwide limit by electronically capping speeds with a device on newly made U.S. vehicles that weigh more than 26,000 pounds. Regulators are considering a cap of 60, 65 or 68 mph * Whatever the speed limit, drivers would be physically prevented from exceeding it. *  The proposal, which comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, does not force older heavy vehicles to add the speed-limiting technology," -- Taking bets now that 1 - there will already be a "hack" before the first truck hits the road, and 2- that truckers will keep their older rigs and there will be a huge drop in sales of new ones. Oh.. and it's not the US wanting to do this.. it's Democrats and the ZERO-bama administration.
