From the "this is the liberal's broken record, one-facet theme for the next 4..8... 12...16 years" department - Online headline/story: "Bill O'Reilly's 'white establishment' comments ignite firestorm over his racism * Throughout his rant, O'Reilly discounted the notion that "so-called white privilege" even exists, and said the left's focus on race and diversity is why "white men have largely abandoned the Democrats." *  "The left sees white privilege in America as an oppressive force that must be done away with, therefore white working class voters must be marginalized and what better way to do that than center the voting power in the cities," O'Reilly said." -- "facts" to liberals are what they want things to be, not actually reality..  Democrats have concentrated so much on buying votes/voter loyalty with social programs centered in heavily occupied pockets that they cannot... no, will not look at a map and see how little of America they actually appeal to.. In this past election, there were 3,144 counties in the US.. of those, Trump won the majority/plurality in 3,084! Hellary won but 60 counties (less than 2%) in the entire 50 states! The Electoral College was the equalizer our Founding Father visioned it to be.

Let's really deflate the liberals egos about "facts".. In 2012, Obama won 689 counties (22%).. an all-time low percentage of U.S. counties for a successful presidential candidate. In 2008, Obama won but 873 counties  (28%). Hellary won but 60 counties .. that's less than 9% of the counties won by Obama in 2012 which was the lowest percentage of counties won by a winning president in the history US  elections.

Online headline: "After meeting with President-elect Trump, Boeing CEO says Air Force One will cost less than $4B" -- Good grief.. Trump hasn't even taken office, and he's already "trumped" Obama's executive skills. Obama prided himself as willing to sit across the table from our nation's enemies without an agenda or protocol, but wouldn't do the same for Republican Congressional leaders, and now we see, Obama wouldn't sit down with business leaders and discuss deals that spent tax dollars.

Online headline: "Incredible footage captures first snowfall in the Sahara Desert in 37 years" -- Hmmm 37 years ago? That was just before Reagan took over from the then worst president of our time, and now it's snowing in the desert just before Trump takes over from the now worst president in history.. This proves two adages at once.. "history repeats itself", and things do happen "when hell freezes over".

---
You know, Obama really, really did want Hellary to win... it was the only opportunity he saw that someone else would "win" the dubious distinction of being the "worst president" in US history.

I just read about NJ Governor Christie's bill about changing legal ads from being mandated to be printed in newspapers being defeated in NJ but think it's a theme who's time has come.. publishing legal ads online versus newspapers.. why wouldn't the people. the courts, and government be better served and at less cost, by at least making electronic publishing an option to newspapers monopoly? I also remember In 1990, when I ran for mayor as an independent write-in candidate, I had to run a newspaper ad stating my intention. I was charged double of any ad costs for a personal ad.. I questioned this by saying that since I'm not a candidate until AFTER I publish this, so why am I having to pay the "legal/political rate"? Of course,, no good answer, and, of course, no adjustment to the ad costs.

In all the huffing and puffing that the Clintons are making about Comey, how come they don't remember deleting e-mails after they were subpoenaed , or destroying hard drives and cell phones with hammers?

Looks like the Berlin truck jihadist was as well known to German officials as were the Boston Bomber Brothers  to our security officials.. bring back profiling so our security can be restored!

Online story: "Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Donald Trump’s divisive rhetoric is only serving to turn the international Muslim community against the U.S." -- Good grief.. as if Muslim countries were :for" us when OPEC ruled the poil supply, or in 1993 or 2001 when Muslims attacked the Trade Center? Why did Arizona send McCain back?

On this date in 2010, President Barack Obama signed a law allowing gays for the first time in history to serve openly in America’s military, repealing the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.. Today, he's asking historians "don't ask, don't tell" about his legacy.

L-E story: "A Mississippi man arrested in the burning of an African-American church that was spray-painted with the words “Vote Trump” is a member of the congregation, the church’s bishop said. * Andrew McC*****, 45, of Leland, Mississippi, was charged Wednesday with first-degree arson of a place of worship, said Warren Strain, spokesman for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.  * McC****** is African-American." -- By the way, Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church was burned and vandalized Nov. 1, a week before the presidential election.. needless to say, Washington County, MS went 2-to-1 for Hellary.. but did you think otherwise?

There's a new book out from Historic Columbus titled "This Place Matters".. from a history of Columbus standpoint, I give it a "C-". but I'm using the grading scale of the MCSD which guarantees a diploma to all who don't drop out.

L-E headline/story: "Fort Benning soldier launches program to help Boys & Girls Clubs *  A soldier who benefited from the Boys Club & Girls Clubs of America when he was a youth now aims to give back to the organization. He is launching a program to help high school juniors and seniors learn life skills and prepare them for college and careers. * “It’s going to give them the edge they need to be competitive,” *  “The school system doesn’t have the time or funding to teach them these lessons. This is going to fill that gap.” -- "The school system doesn’t have the time or funding to teach them these lessons"? Whatta a ad state the school system has become...the skills the soldier is talking about don't require teaching, they are role model skills. Blame political correctness for their absence.

L-E story: "It’s no secret that state and local law enforcement agencies have grown more militarized in the past decade, with armored personnel carriers, drones and robots. * But one item in their arsenal has been kept largely out of public view, to the dismay of civil liberties advocates who say its use is virtually unregulated — and largely untracked. * The device is a suitcase-size surveillance tool commonly called a StingRay that mimics a cellphone tower, allowing authorities to track individual cellphones in real time. *  Until recently, the FBI avoided disclosing its own use of the surveillance apparatus" -- Oh! The FBI uses them, too.. Hmmm.. I guess that means the FBI DOES have Hellary recorded, despite Comey's statement that they did not record her interviews.

L-E story: "On Jan. 2, Oklahoma and Auburn will play in the Sugar Bowl at the Superdome in New Orleans. Bowl organizers say that ticket sales have been much slower-paced than anticipated. Neither school has sold out its 15,000-ticket allotment." -- Guess fans of both teams would rather travel to  NC where bathrooms protocol is birth certificate gender based, versus not knowing if you're gonna be a shooting target on the streets of New Orleans.
