Online headline/story: "Donald Trump to black voters: 'What the hell do you have to lose?'  *  "guaranteed" that, if elected, he would win more than 90 percent of the African-American vote at the end of four years in office.  * "No group in America has been more harmed by Hillary Clinton's policies than African Americans," he began. "Tonight, I'm asking for the vote of every single African-American citizen in this country who wants to see a better future." -- Amen! I remember a 1990 race for a GA State Reps position that was going on during my own campaign... Margaret Jenkins... a lifelong Democrat, changed from being a Democrat to run as a Republican. Margaret Jenkins was a dynamo in the black community (still is). I remember her passionate plea as she reminded voters of that fact and she ran as a Republican based on all the unkept promises of the Democrat Party during her lifetime. Two weeks before the election, a district poll showed her with a 60%-40%  lead, Then,, old politics jumped in... on Sunday before the election, the pulpit "recommendations" and flyers went out with bloc voting "instructions"  , and the Democrat candidate won by a 4-to-1 ratio.. needless to say, nothing got changed.

From above story: "Hillary Clinton was quick to respond to Trump's comments in Michigan, saying, "This is so ignorant it's staggering."  - Is it, Hellary? This nation has spent some $22 TRILLION dollars over the past 50  years on programs created by LBJ's "Great Society, War on Poverty" . Other than a current $19 Trillion dollar National Debt, what do we really have to show for it?

Can you believe that the governor of Louisiana actually said he did not welcome Trumo and Pence to come down to the Baton Rouge area?  Of course, in true Democrat form, the governor did say Trump could write him a big check.. Like Margaret Jenkins and Donald Trump would think, what have the Democrats done for them?

Online story: "Democratic Party presidential candidate Hillary Clinton does not need to give sworn testimony in a lawsuit brought by a conservative watchdog group over her use of an unauthorized private email system while she was U.S. secretary of state, a judge ruled on Friday. * Clinton must instead respond in writing within 30 days to questions submitted by Judicial Watch, a group that has long been critical of her conduct and which is suing the Department of State over Clinton-era records. *  Judge Emmet Sullivan's ruling in U.S. District Court in Washington is likely to be a relief to Democrats, who did not welcome the prospect of Clinton having to submit to hours of questioning by lawyers in the middle of her campaign".. Good grief.. when is any testimony in a lawsuit not under oath? Though what I'm about to reveal will not really shock anyone, I'm pretty sure you've already surmised that Judge Sullivan was appointed by Bill Clinton in 1994. You know, Judge Sullivan not  only should have recused himself, but he ought now be impeached.

Interesting.... did you know the Olympic Medals in Rio have the image of Nike, the Greek winged goddess of victory, on them? Guess the 2020 ones will probably just have the "swoop".

Hellary says she followed General/Secretary of State Colin Powell's advice on using private/personal e-mail.. General Powell showed he might actually have been more influenced by Hellary than vice versa.. Powell said, in true Hellary form, that he had "no recollection" of such a conversation.

From the "how come" department : How come when I buy candy at a Dollar Store, the tax is only 4%, yet if I go to a grocery store or movie theater, I get charged 8%....

What a dilemma at Harvard... everybody is equal but women can have all women clubs while men can't. Now what if a gal joins a women's club and becomes a transgender male .. does the all women's club have to build a man's bathroom? Or can a woman club member declare she's a 'he' and join men's clubs as well?
