Online headline: "Three government programs that are dangerously in the red" -- Oh sure, mainscream media, you can stick your hand into the pot, and blindly pick any three that fit this headline.. and make a statement no one can dispute.. now, name "three government programs" that are NOT "dangerously in the red". This would be a story of which you could be proud.

Online story: "Former U.S. President Barack Obama warned then-President-elect Donald Trump not to give the post of national security adviser in his administration to Michael Flynn who was eventually fired in a controversy about ties to Russia, a former Obama aide said." -- Hmmm.. of course, Obama didn't like Flynn after Flynn questioned Obama decisions, but.. but what is not said is that it was Obama who gave Flynn his top clearance ranking.

Online headline: "11 Countries to Visit With Caution" -- Hmmm...and especially if you are a liberal! Some countries included are MEXICO.. where shouting offensive words, carrying any kind of marijuana (even with a license or prescription) and even displays of nudity are all banned; CUBA Bans on cross dressing; GERMANY.. bans masks.. especially protesters with masks; Uganda.. where Homosexuality is strictly prohibited and punished, as is wearing clothing considered too risqué and failing to carry a passport; ALGERIA has a ban on homosexuality and its strict laws regarding religious behavior, and worshipping any faith other than Islam is restricted to permissible spaces. Oh, and in Singapore, singing out loud can land you a fine if the lyrics are considered obscene. Smoking in many public spaces carries a $1,000 fine, and contributing to the distribution of any material the government considers inappropriate can land some light jail time. Oh, and don't try to bring in any chewing gum. Importing this highly banned substance can lead to fines of up to $200,000.

Now we know why all the celebrities vowing to move if Trump won.. didn't.. their travel agents did some  homework.. though Canada is still somewhat available ..in some sections.

Online headline: "Georgia to execute man for 1990 murder of father-in-law" -- Thank goodness.. at least we want be feeding the guy until he dies of natural causes! Good grief.. the man's son is now 29 years old.. and grew up without his grandfather, too..

---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Vending machine selling Plan B pill arrives on college campus" -- Of course.. in California.. too bad this wasn't available when the current students mothers were in college.. we might not have so many anarchists now attending college in California...Hmmm.. wonder if the students have to pay for it directly or just "swipe" their Democratic Party membership cards?

---
From the "only in California" department - Online headline: "California bill would end ban on communists in government jobs" -- Hmm.. you know.. communists by California standards are probably more conservative than California Democrtas...

This is for the true political junkie.. it's a spider-web of Atlanta/Georgia politics that even well-informed.. but not professional.. politicos will shake their heads about what they really don't know/understand about politics. You are forewarned!  http://www.myajc.com/news/diagram-the-friends-and-enemies-atlanta-mayors/hEMYhkYaW0HzAK9LqCRjCM/

When you look at Hellary and Trump side by side.. and  when you compare their proven skills and results, who really believes the Russians would have wanted to deal with Trump when they could get Hellary?

---
Who..what.. are the Congressional hearing for? Those who call for them already know the "witnesses under oath" will not, can not,  divulge "secret stuff" in public, so why put America through the expense and expectations of finding something new this way?

---
Do you know what the main difference between liberals and conservatives is..what liberals do not have in knowledge, they make up for it in loudness.

---
Has anyone asked Trump to sign an Executive Order to end the "F.E.T tanning tax"? It was racist when Obama issued it and still is. In fact, there's an IRS web page on how to collect, report, and pay for it.. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/indoor-tanning-services-tax-center

Excuse me, but if the "entry (not travel) ban" Trump signed keeps Christian refugees from those 6 countries out as well as Muslims, where is the religious discrimination the left and Muslims declare?

L-E headline: "‘REIMAGINE 13TH STREET’ * City to close two lanes of 13th Street for two weeks" -- Hmm while I've already parsed the fallacies of this move in an earlier writing.. this still needs to be adressed:

 

Hey.. and when "they" start posting businesses/locations on those "art" ARROWS, those become BILLBOARDS on public property.. Council should at least require "Midtown" to buy the specific licenses, and collect the proper taxes, AND pay a substantial monthly fee for a roadway with that many cars riding by each day.

 

---

From the "you mean mainscream media had nothing else to bash Trump about" department - L-E headline about a "headlie": "RUSSIAN INFLUENCE *Yates says she warned Flynn was vulnerable" -- Excuse me, but how can a person be "blackmailable"  when his employer already knows about the situation?

 

---

From the "Homer Simpson World of DOH!" department - L-E headline/story: "MUSCOGEE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD * Board to reconsider tabling $6.4M alternative education program plan * The 80-minute discussion about the issue during Monday evening’s work session resulted in this consensus: The debate about whether to contract with Camelot Education of Austin, Texas, hasn’t produced the clarity the delay had sought, despite two public forums conducted since then, one by the Southern Anti-Racism Network, which included Camelot officials, and one by parents of special education students, which didn’t include Camelot officials." --  "hasn’t produced the clarity the delay had sought"? You know.. when
"clarity" is not revealed in real world situations, that usually means more work and understanding is required.. At this point, Camelot should not be hired without a unanimous decision of the MCSB...

From the "think I know which stock to :short" next" department - L-E story: "Coach announced Monday it is buying rival luxury handbag, clothing and accessories company Kate Spade in a deal valued at $2.4 billion as Coach looks to grab more millennial shoppers." -- "to grab more millennial shoppers"? Good grief.. these so called "millennial shoppers" are today's students who, upon graduation.. from school, and from daddy's Visa card, will start to understand the benefits of having their money IN a purse, rather than tied up in owning a purse. Of course, that happens only when/if they get jobs and move out of their parents' homes.
