From the "The real question is why.. and how, did this get in the Education Budget to begin with?" department - Online headline/story: "DeVos under fire over funding cuts for Special Olympics * House Democrats grilled Betsy DeVos Tuesday over the education secretary’s latest budget proposal, which boosts appropriations for charter schools while slashing $17.6 million in funding for the Special Olympics. * During a contentious hearing before the House education appropriations subcommittee, Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., pushed DeVos on the proposed cuts to the Special Olympics, a sports competition for disabled athletes. * “It’s 272,000 kids,” Pocan interjected." -- This kind of "feeling" is how money gets wasted and misappropriated.. Now, do the math.. %17.6 Million.. for 272,000 people.. that's less than $65.00 per person.. and we know if it's a government program, 78-80% is going for administration costs so only about $13.00 per child is actually getting used for the intention.

Here's a link to Charity Navigator.. Special Olympics is not only NOT in dire straits, it shows that in he last report (for FY 2017) that Special Olympics had an excess revenue flow of of OVER $18,000,000, and had Net Assets of OVER $80,000,000..

Now, the answer to the intro question.. It was "founded" by Eunice KENNEDY Shriver.. a KENNEDY sister, and "The Arnold's" ex-mother-in-law.

 

Now, I'm going to pledge a $1,000.00 donation which should cover the $13.00 benefit for
over 75 people. Join me, and let's help Trump make our government more focused.

From the "well, libs, make up your mind" department - Online headline: "'Bohemian Rhapsody' causes uproar after scrubbing LGBTQ scenes in China release" -- Wait a minute, China is a perfect example of a Socialist-Democrat country American liberals SALIVATE to become! Welcome to Real World !)!.. Now, if this is disappointing to libs, there's always Venezuela or Iran..

Gotta another DNC e-mail donation solicitation yesterday...it listed conditions to donate..Number 1 raised my eyebrows:

 

"I am a U.S. citizen or lawfully admitted permanent resident (i.e., green card holder)."

You know, I'm wondering how non-citizens can legally contribute to an American election they can't vote in...at least not legally.

Online headline: " Chicago PD Superintendent Eddie Johnson, Rahm Emanuel call Jussie Smollett charges being dropped 'whitewash of justice'" --

 

Racial relations have just been set back a century! How can our legal system survive when a court..even a failed one like Shicago , allows an intentional attempt to use a hate crime to further one man's career be thrown out without due process. I can only surmise this is being done to divert attention and conversation from the Democrats abortive effort to impeach President Trump. If the NAACP doesn't rapidly and loudly protest this move, the NAACP has effectively castrated itself.

 

I tell you what, after listening to the Shicago state attorney s decision not to prosecute Jussie Smollett , I will never again sympathize with the black leaders pleading for justice.

 

OK...regardless of what we already know..think we know.. for argument's sake, let's say, Smollett is completely innocent..He still filed a hate crime report with the Shicago PD so it means either that the Shicago Police Department still has an active crime to investigate and solve, or the Shicago Police Department will have to charge Smollett with a crime for reporting a false sworn statement. How can the prosecutor or police department drop this?

MSM-13 went ballistic over Mueller's Report..of course all MSM-13 is doing is doubling down on Trump..Seems to me that MSM-13's beef is with itself, Mueller and the Obama administration.

 

---
You know, the results of the Mueller debacle were not earth-shattering.. the revealing aspect was how stupid so many elected officials and MSM-13 journalists were in their "rush to judgment".

 

---
You know, MSM-13 is trying to back-step away from showing its arse over the Mueller revealings...Of course, they are doing the Michael Jackson 'moon' walk and still showing its arse.

We are being bombarded with claims of Stem Cell Therapy as being the universal cure-all for whatever ails you. How can we not be skeptical..sounds like this will be the 21st Century's sequel to laetrile ..which we all found out was, basically, the peach pits.

You know, with El Paso, TX so close to New Mexico, it's easy to see why Senator Udall is so eager to tuck his tail and run before his 2020 re-election date comes up. Basically, Senator Udall has been holding hands with Beto O'Jerk.

New Fox contributor, Donna Brazile, former DNC chairman, wants the full report of Mueller. Hmmm..strange as she was one of the Democrat officials who refused the FBI's request to look at the DNC hard drive that was compromised by hackers to see what the hackers got.

Online headline: :Green New Deal fails Senate test vote as dozens of Democrats vote 'present' -- It's actually the GanGRENE New Deal.. and even the Democrat Senate sponsors/presidential candidates wouldn't own up to passing it.

Have you notice the surge of TV ads by Cracker Barrel? We usually don't see such, so it's rather obvious ...and they are pretty effective..Cracker Barrel's strategy has been to locate near I-State highways and other major bypass roads so, what these ads tell me is travel business is up..an integral facet of a soaring economy.

Online headline: "CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD NAMED PERSON OF THE YEAR IN AWARDS HONORING CHAMPIONS AGAINST SEXUAL VIOLENCE" -- Good grief! Liberalville has gone the way of Bill Clinton...adopting definitions of words that promote its agenda.. in this case, the libs have defined "loser" as "champion".

 

Based on the Christine Blasey Ford's Award, I guess next year's Person of the Year will be "Bossie".. the fantasized, unnamed cow in Beto O'Jerk's poem..

Online headline: "Abrams launches 'Fair Count' nonprofit ahead of 2020 census" -- Why should any political organization be given a tax deductible status (especially one to someone already PROVEN not to voluntarily comply with the regulations of such).. The ability to create illegal voting status for non-citizens is a greater threat to America's future than any other threat.

Online headline/story: "Bill seeks to aid Georgians who lack a ride to work * State lawmakers are debating a bill that could help change that. House Bill 511 would devote tens of millions of dollars to public transportation in Georgia.The bill would allow counties to raise sales taxes to expand transit. It would create a state-funded pilot program to help unemployed rural residents who need transportation to find jobs., and the poor basic education skills being given to our children?" -- Wouldn't the legislative effort be better served if our legislators attacked state and local sales taxes (versus RAISE THEM)

Online story: "Hasbro's new "Monopoly for Millennials" isn't winning too many fans in the age group it was meant to entertain. * The new game, announced earlier this week, is full of millennial stereotypes that seem to have struck a nerve with the demographic." -- Hmmm. and I bet the two most pointed... and depressing spaces... on the Monopoly Board .. are "Park Avenue".. where Millennials can "park" rent free at their parents' homes, and "Go Straight to Jail"", where they can get free WiFi and phone charging.

Online headline: "Obama reportedly warned freshman Democrats to expect tough questions about their ambitious progressive policies" -- Good grief.. the new ones are all into recreating Obama's 3rd term.. no wonder he's upset as now that he's accumulated wealth, he feels he will be one of their their targets!

From the "Bias? What bias?" department - M/C L-E headline/story: "Trump threat to health care law riles Democrats * A new fight over the future of the Affordable Care Act burst onto the Capitol Hill agenda on Tuesday morning, as Democrats tried to move past the Mueller report and pounce on the Trump administration’s legal motion to have President Barack Obama’s signature health care law invalidated by the federal courts." -- Wait a minute! Democrats have already abandoned Obamacare and are wanting to initiate "Medicare for All" rather than fix the 'legacy" of Obama which promised to lower costs $2500.00 per family and allow us to keep our doctors..

M/C L-E headline: "Georgia joins effort to fund menstrual products in schools" -- You know, I empathize with the teens and the schools, but isn't this opening a number of cans of worms? Will it count against equalizing money distributed under Title 9 regulations, and what about transgender girls.. will they be compensated for not needing menstrual products so they feel equal?

M/C L-E headline: "Razor wire blights border, residents say" -- Yep, and a proper wall will eliminate the need for such.. What's even a bigger blight is the number of businesses along Veterans Parkway in Columbus who use "razor wire" for protection.. Can't you imagine the impression it gives tourists and business scouts as they pass through Columbus?
