Wow... we already adored Olympic Gold Medalist swimmer Katie Ledecky, but now she's added a halo.. She has turned down turning pro (and $5 MILLION per year in endorsements) to go to college and compete as an amateur. God protect this angel!

Online headline: "'Affluenza' mom has a new job that may shock you" -- Oooops, my bad.. was hoping it was making license tags...

---
Online headline: "New Jersey town deluged with dead fish" -- Oooops, thought the DNC had called a secret meeting to discuss replacing Hellary..

---
Good grief.. Hellary's spinmeisters are out trying to convince mainscream media that it shouldn't "cherry pick" her meeting with big dollar donors out of the many she had. What hypocrisy..that's like asking people not to notice Shaq O'Neal playing a munchkin in a remake of "The Wizard of Oz". To be honest (hey Bill, how do YOU define that), a Secretary of State..should not have ANY meetings with folks that have been political supporters/donors. under any circumstances. Just hope mainscream media doesn't buy into her excuses.

From the "self-explanatory headline" department - Online headline: "BIAS ALERT: New York Times finds latest Clinton Foundation bombshell unfit to print" -- Other recent gems the NYT has printed are: 1 - "The Times reported "there is no evidence that the hackers, believed to be Russian, were successful." -- Hmmm.. "believed to be".. what happened to "allegedly"? and 2 - "somewhere on page A-13, amid the “Election 2016” coverage. The page was led by a story declaring polls point toward a Clinton landslide, even though recent surveys show the race has tightened to a dead heat." ...

---
Here's a story concerning one of the "cherry-picked" donors to Hellary's foundation - Online story: "The new batch of emails showing that the State Department gave special access to top Clinton Foundation donors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state brings to mind the case of a shady Miami businessman serving a 12-year prison sentence after scamming the government out of millions. His name is Claudio Osorio, a Clinton Foundation donor who got $10 million from the government after the Clinton State Department reportedly pulled some strings. * Osorio got the money from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), a federal agency that operates under the guidance of the State Department, to build houses in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. The OPIC supposedly promotes U.S. government investments abroad to foster the development and growth of free markets. Osorio’s “Haiti project” was supposed to build 500 homes for displaced families in the aftermath of the earthquake. The project never broke ground and Osorio used the money to finance his lavish lifestyle and fund his illicit business ventures. He also ran a fraudulent international company with facilities in the U.S., United Arab Emirates, Germany, Angola and Tanzania that stole millions from investors. Some of the OPIC Haiti money was used to repay investors of his fraudulent company (Innovida), according to federal prosecutors. In September 2013, Osorio was sentenced to 150 months imprisonment and three years of supervised release." -- Hey, what about the restitution of the $10,000,000.00?

You know..when either Clinton is out seeking contributions for their foundations, what they are really asking for is that these foreign despots chip in to their "Dough Nation".

---
Speaking of mainscream media polls...you know, just like in the Republican primaries, people who have not voted recently because they didn't think there was a hill-of-beans difference between Democrats and RINOs (and there isn't) came back into the cycle in record support of Trump. Wanna bet these people are not on the lists to be polled, and none of them are going to vote for Hellary...

---
Now we hear that Huma Abedin was listed as an assistant/associate editor of a radical Islamic publication run by her mother that advocated women to be subservient to men. To think such a person could be the advisor to a Secretary of State and become Chief-of-Staff in the White House.

Online story: "The state insurance department Tuesday approved an average premium increase of 21.4 percent for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia for the 2017 health insurance exchange in Georgia.
 * HealthCare.gov Stock imageryThe company earlier had requested an average premium of 15.1 percent, but it raised the request in the wake of Aetna’s pullout from exchanges in Georgia and 10 other states last week.
* Blue Cross, the largest health insurer in the state, had told GHN late last week that it was considering upping its current premium proposal. * State insurance officials said Tuesday that Blue Cross was the only health insurer to request a new rate after Aetna’s move." --  A couple of weeks ago, I related the story about my bride's surgeon's woes of dealing with Blue Cross Blue Shield.. you know, that BCBS  owed his office over $400,000.00 in payments for covered services? Said then that BCBS had already increased its staff by I think about 400 people to handle OObamaCRAP paperwork.. now it looks like BCBS will be jacking up rates to cover more paperwork handlers.. You know, electing Trump will be bittersweet to some.. all these newly created "paperwork handling jobs" won't be necessary...and Mayor TomLYINGson will blame Trump and the tax freeze rather than rejoice in lower insurance rates.

Update.. remember the Bill Clinton appointed  federal judge.. Emmet G. Sullivan...who decided that Hellary would not have to testify under oath? Another judge has overridden his decision and Hellarty will have to do so.. this probe won't be over by General Election Day but her  activities will be in the headlines voters will take to the polls as they decide on who to vote for..

---
From the "did you hear what I heard" department - Online headline: "“Even Terrorists Have Rights And We Should Respect Them” Obama To American People" -- Huh! Of course, ZERO-bama feels that if these "illegal aliens" can get into the US, they should have "the right" to be recruited to the largest terrorist cell group in America,, the Democratic Party, and registered to vote.

---
Online headline: "Study recommends higher pay for Cobb County employees" -- Hmmm... and who hired the "study" group using $326,000 tax dollars... sorta like  children deciding Dad owes them a bigger allowance.

---
Online headline: "David Perdue on Johnny Isakson: ‘When did compromise become a dirty word?’ - In politics.. I'll tell you when.. when Republicans lowered moral standards to placate Democrats.

---
L-E headline/story: "Muscogee bus driver died of blunt force trauma in accident * the bus left the roadway. It traveled 187 feet with the right side on the grass shoulder and crossed the southbound lane of Garrett Road. * The bus went another 202 feet before stopping after crashing into a large tree, Columbus police said in a report." -- Excuse me.. but the bus traveled 389 feet. that's longer than a football plus the two end zones.. How fast was the bus traveling  that it couldn't stop sooner.. Surely the bus driver must have had some debilitating action that prohibited a safe stop. While we all pray for all the families affected.. this "scenario" just doesn't seem feasible..

Hellary Informed Voter's L-E "soundoff": "Trump hands out Play-Doh for 49 seconds on camera to aid flood victims. Did not know it was a survival product. My kind of guy." -- Typical Democrat "fact" .. Other than Trump and Pence were there over 4 hours, the lib making this stupid comment must not be a parent of small children.. I imagine all the parents were grateful that Trump thought enough of the situation to realize that providing some diversion for their children was a great help.. While Trump and Pence were tending peoiple's needs, Hellary was in California raising  Hollywood "pLAy Dough". Wonder how many White House "overnights" in the Lincoln bedroom were promised?

From the "let's make lemonade out of lemons in the headline" department - "MUSCOGEE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT * Muscogee scores at least 11-year high on ACT" Good grief.. you have wait until the 4th paragraph before you get the truth.. "Muscogee, however, remains below the state average. Georgia’s composite score in 2016 is 21.1, surpassing the national average of 20.8. Georgia’s score increased by 0.1 point from 2015 while the national average decreased 0.2 points. Alabama’s average composite score for public school graduates decreased by 0.1 point from 18.8 in 2015 to 18.7 in 2016. The highest score possible is 36." - You know.. a  score of 19.4 will get you into most schools IF you are an athlete that a coach wants on a team, but getting into a good school isn't going to happen for regular students. 
 
Oh, and now that it's been exposed, why isn't the fact that Mark Rice's wife is employed by the MCSD not being disclosed with his byline?

From the "when will stupidity cease in government programs" department - L-E headline: "In first, Feds sue Georgia for segregating students with disabilities * The State of Georgia is being sued by the U.S. Department of Justice because they say 4,600 students were improperly segregated from their general-education classmates." -- You know, if our schools performances weren't so bad without integrating special needs student into general classrooms, this still wouldn't be helpful.. How much lower would our student testing results be if teachers had to devote what little time they have toward students with learning disabilities which would slow down even further the an=mount of information that could be taught to other students?

L-E headline: "At Home backs out, Macy’s on ‘most at risk’ for closure list" -- Hmmm... wonder which Mall shooting made the difference?
