More Fake News From A Fake Newspaper

From fake newspaper, the NY Daily Not News:  President Trump appeared to suggest Tuesday that the wave of bomb threats against Jewish community centers across the U.S. could be coming from within the Jewish community itself, according to a Pennsylvania state lawmaker present for the comments.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who was part of a group of state attorneys general meeting with Trump at the White House Tuesday, relayed Trump's comments about the bomb threats to Buzzfeed News, explaining that the commander-in-chief seemed to indicate he felt some of the threats were being made from the inside, as part of a potential effort "to make others look bad."
"He just said, 'sometimes it's the reverse, to make people, or to make others, look bad,'" Shapiro, a Democrat, said, repeating Trump's alleged response to questions during the meeting about the large number of bomb threats against Jewish community centers in recent months.
"It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me," Shapiro said of Trump's remarks.  http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-suggests-jewish-community-spreading-anti-semitic-threats-article-1.2984866
Trump could be very well right.  Time and time again, there have been cases of fake hate crimes.  The cops investigate the supposed hate crimes an discover that the person making the accusation is actually the one who made the threats or made racist displays.
and if moron Shapiro has any question about hoaxes by liberal fanatics, here is a story from Breitbart:  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/12/30/faked-news-your-guide-to-22-post-election-hate-hoaxes/

Moonbat Of The Year?

I really hope this sarcasm.
From the Press connect, Binghamton NY:
I have become convinced that President Donald Trump will be removed from office sooner rather than later.

Notice that I didn’t say “impeached.” We are confronting crimes so treasonous, involving so many Trump confidants that we couldn’t possibly expect the current executive branch to continue to function (even without Trump) in the interest of the United States. We need to put in place a brand-new government as soon as possible!

My remedy is going to make heads explode, but hear me out. Just as when a gold medalist is found to have cheated, the gold is then awarded to the second-place finisher. I believe the evidence will show that Trump cheated to win the presidency, and the courts, finding no applicable remedy in the Constitution to replace an entire branch, should award the presidency to Hillary Clinton. No other person is better positioned to get our government up and running, especially when you consider that she is already prepared with appointments that are experienced public servants, unlike the Cabinet we see today.

Under the circumstances of such an appointment, I would only ask that she commit to not running for a second term in order to put this constitutional crisis behind us.

Do Nothing Congress

The U.S. Congress has been going on for almost 3 months now in 2017.
They have passed a total of 8 laws in this time according congress.gov.  And none of the laws have been very important.
No Obamacare repeal.
No tax reform.
No reform whatsoever.
Nothing.
Hello, GOP Congress critters, we conservatives to do some actual work, not to party like it's 1999.
Morons in Congress.

This Could Be Big

From the Washington Post:  China will suspend all imports of coal from North Korea until the end of the year, the Commerce Ministry announced Saturday, in a surprise move that would cut off a major financial lifeline for Pyongyang and significantly enhance the effectiveness of U.N. sanctions.
Coal is North Korea’s largest export item, and also China’s greatest point of leverage over the regime.
The ministry said the ban would come into force Sunday and be effective until Dec. 31.

It will be interesting to see what North Korea does.
Do they start calming down and become more civilised? 
Or will they react like an injured animal: kick, yell and fight back physically?
But good for China for doing this.

Journalist Code Of Ethics

With all the talk about fake news from President Trump and the news media hitting back, here is the code of ethics for journalists.  See for yourself if the journalists are ethical or not:
Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. Ethical journalism strives to ensure the free exchange of information that is accurate, fair and thorough. An ethical journalist acts with integrity.
The Society declares these four principles as the foundation of ethical journalism and encourages their use in its practice by all people in all media.

Ethical journalism should be accurate and fair. Journalists should be honest and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.
Journalists should:– Take responsibility for the accuracy of their work. Verify information before releasing it. Use original sources whenever possible. 

– Remember that neither speed nor format excuses inaccuracy. 
– Provide context. Take special care not to misrepresent or oversimplify in promoting, previewing or summarizing a story. 
– Gather, update and correct information throughout the life of a news story. 
– Be cautious when making promises, but keep the promises they make. 
– Identify sources clearly. The public is entitled to as much information as possible to judge the reliability and motivations of sources. 
– Consider sources’ motives before promising anonymity. Reserve anonymity for sources who may face danger, retribution or other harm, and have information that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Explain why anonymity was granted. 
– Diligently seek subjects of news coverage to allow them to respond to criticism or allegations of wrongdoing. 
– Avoid undercover or other surreptitious methods of gathering information unless traditional, open methods will not yield information vital to the public. 
– Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable. Give voice to the voiceless. 
– Support the open and civil exchange of views, even views they find repugnant. 
– Recognize a special obligation to serve as watchdogs over public affairs and government. Seek to ensure that the public’s business is conducted in the open, and that public records are open to all. 
– Provide access to source material when it is relevant and appropriate. 
– Boldly tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience. Seek sources whose voices we seldom hear. 
– Avoid stereotyping. Journalists should examine the ways their values and experiences may shape their reporting. 
– Label advocacy and commentary. 
– Never deliberately distort facts or context, including visual information. Clearly label illustrations and re-enactments. 
– Never plagiarize. Always attribute. 

Minimize Harm

 Ethical journalism treats sources, subjects, colleagues and members of the public as human beings deserving of respect.

Journalists should:– Balance the public’s need for information against potential harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance or undue intrusiveness. 

– Show compassion for those who may be affected by news coverage. Use heightened sensitivity when dealing with juveniles, victims of sex crimes, and sources or subjects who are inexperienced or unable to give consent. Consider cultural differences in approach and treatment. 
– Recognize that legal access to information differs from an ethical justification to publish or broadcast. 

 – Realize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than public figures and others who seek power, influence or attention. Weigh the consequences of publishing or broadcasting personal information. 

– Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity, even if others do. 
– Balance a suspect’s right to a fair trial with the public’s right to know. Consider the implications of identifying criminal suspects before they face legal charges. 
– Consider the long-term implications of the extended reach and permanence of publication. Provide updated and more complete information as appropriate. 

Act Independently
The highest and primary obligation of ethical journalism is to serve the public.
Journalists should:

– Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived. Disclose unavoidable conflicts. 

– Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and avoid political and other outside activities that may compromise integrity or impartiality, or may damage credibility. 
– Be wary of sources offering information for favors or money; do not pay for access to news. Identify content provided by outside sources, whether paid or not. 
– Deny favored treatment to advertisers, donors or any other special interests, and resist internal and external pressure to influence coverage. 
– Distinguish news from advertising and shun hybrids that blur the lines between the two. Prominently label sponsored content. 

Be Accountable and Transparent

Ethical journalism means taking responsibility for one’s work and explaining one’s decisions to the public.
Journalists should:– Explain ethical choices and processes to audiences. Encourage a civil dialogue with the public about journalistic practices, coverage and news content. – Respond quickly to questions about accuracy, clarity and fairness. 

– Acknowledge mistakes and correct them promptly and prominently. Explain corrections and clarifications carefully and clearly. 
– Expose unethical conduct in journalism, including within their organizations. 
– Abide by the same high standards they expect of others.

From the LVRJ:  A man accused of opening fire in a crowded suburban Kansas City bar, killing one man and injuring two others in an attack that some witnesses said was racially motivated, was charged Thursday with murder and attempted murder....

A bartender at Austins Bar and Grill in Olathe, Kansas, said that Adam Purinton used “racial slurs” before he started shooting on Wednesday night as patrons were watching the University of Kansas-TCU basketball game on television.

Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, died at an area hospital, police said. Alok Madasani, 32, and Ian Grillot, 24, were hospitalized and are in stable condition, they said. The Linkedin accounts for Kuchibhotla and Madasani say that they were engineers working at GPS-maker Garmin and had studied in India.   

http://m.reviewjournal.com/news/nation-and-world/kansas-police-fbi-investigating-deadly-bar-shooting-possible-hate-crime
If this thug is found, the death penalty is too good for him.
And so sad for the victims, they were just enjoying themselves when this thug attacked.

From Fox News: The Trump administration Wednesday revoked federal guidelines issued by former President Barack Obama that allowed public school students to use restrooms and other facilities corresponding to their gender identity.

A document submitted to the Supreme Court by the Solicitor General's office said that the Obama-era directive issued this past May did not "undergo any formal public process" or explain how the directive was "consistent with the express language of Title IX," the federal law outlawing sex discrimination in education and activities. 

"This is an issue best solved at the state and local level," Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said. "Schools, communities, and families can find -- and in many cases have found -- solutions that protect all students."  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/02/22/trump-administration-revokes-obama-era-transgender-bathroom-guidance-for-schools.html

This is a state and local issue and the Trump people were correct to point this out.

There is no reason why a girl or boy in school cannot go to the bathroom of their genitalia.  And if they cannot go there, then go to the bathroom in the nurse's office, if that is allowed.

Fake News From A Fake Newspaper And News Network

From the NY Daily News:  Presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway, arguably the most visible spokesperson in President Donald Trump’s administration, has not graced the world’s television screens since early last week.
After repeatedly making on-air statements contradicting the Trump administration’s official stance, the White House barred the Republican President’s high-profile counselor from appearing in television interviews, a source told CNN. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/kellyanne-conway-barred-tv-report-article-1.2979564
Except, guess who was appearing on Sean Hannity tonight?
Why, Kellyanne Conway.
And, the media wonder why they cannot be trusted and why they are hated by so many people.

Hypocrites

Let's see. The liberal morons protesting the Dakota Access pipeline in North Dakota because, in part, it was a big environmental concerns.
Now that the protesters have been ordered to leave, they set huge fires, thus putting a whole lot of pollution in the air.

What idiots.

I Thought They Already Did

I thought McDonald's already sold  $1 drinks because that is what we have been paying in Nevada and Arizona.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:

McDonald's  is hoping $1 sodas can help draw more customers into its stores in the U.S. as it fights to reverse four years of declining visits.

The company says it plans to offer $1 sodas of any size for a limited time starting in April, with smoothies, frappes and shakes being sold $2. The deals, earlier reported by Bloomberg, come after McDonald's sales dipped 1.3 percent at established U.S. location in the last quarter of 2016. Customer visits declined for the fourth straight year in 2016 despite the fanfare over its all-day breakfast menu.

Yep, Trump Was Right About Sweden

So, where does President Trump go to get an apology.
From The Telegraph/Sweden:

Swedish police on Tuesday were investigating a riot that broke out overnight in a predominantly immigrant suburb in Stockholm after officers arrested a suspect on drug charges.

The clashes started late Monday when a police car arrested a suspect and people started throwing stones at them in Rinkeby, north of Stockholm. Unidentified people, including some wearing masks, also set cars on fire and looted shops.

One officer was slightly injured when a rock hit his arm and one person was arrested for throwing rocks, police spokesman Lars Bystrom said Tuesday...

"This kind of situation doesn't happen that often but it is always regrettable when it happens," Bystrom said.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/21/swedish-police-investigate-riot-predominantly-immigrant-suburb/

So, riots in immigrant neighborhoods do happen.

Imagine that. Trump was right.

Hmm

From WFAA Dallas Tx: Life in prison.

Those were the words that Christopher Duntsch never wanted to hear.  And the words that his patients and their families desperately wanted to hear.The one-time neurosurgeon was sentenced by the 12-member jury to spend the remainder of his life behind bars Monday afternoon.“This was a voice for Kellie,” said Don Martin, whose wife bled to death after one of those botched surgeries in 2012.  

http://www.wfaa.com/mb/news/crime/jurors-sentenced-dr-duntsch-in-botch-surgeries/410166098

Did the doctor screw up? Probably. Does he deserves life in prison?  I don't think so because there was no evidence he screwed on purpose or with malice.  In addition, the patient did not die but was seriously and permentally disabled.  Life in prison should be for the worst of the worst and while the doctor was a horrible doctor, life in prison is too much.

Ha!!!!

Well, in Tempe, AZ, an anti-Trump rally quickly when only 25 people showed.
From AZ Central:  Community organizer Randy Perez had one goal when he set out Monday: March through the streets of Tempe with a few hundred demonstrators to protest President Donald Trump's claims of massive voter fraud in the November election.
Something went wrong along the way, however, and what was originally supposed to be a march of 150 to 200 people ended up fizzling out with an attendance of 20 to 25 people gathering at Arizona State University's Tempe campus. http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2017/02/20/tempe-anti-trump-rally-fizzles-out/98181744/
First, it was a dumb reason to protest. The election is over and who really cares what Trump said about voter fraud and who wants to protest it?
And they were by Arizona's largest university and if they couldn't find more protesters than that then they to give up.
Then the lady said she has been to at least 10 anti-Trump protests.  That's stalking or being obsessive.
And do you remember when conservatives said ex-president Obama was not their president?   The media said we were racist and un-American.  Now the media love these protesters.  More fake liberal news.

That's A Lot Of Snow

From the Lake Tahoe News:  The morning after a February storm had shut down the ski resort for two days, the Sun Valley ski patrol started yet another day of work to open the mountain to the public....
Sun Valley is not alone. California dominated headlines all of January with an incessant pounding, leaving Mammoth Mountain with 430 inches of snowfall so far. http://www.laketahoenews.net/2017/02/massive-snow-means-lots-work-ski-patrollers/
That's almost 36 feet of snow so far this year and they were supposed to get 5 more feet today.
I wonder if the snow will last on the mountain throughout the entire year?

Yes, President Trump Is Sane

The relatively new things the liberal media is running now is that President Trump is insane.  And they are serious about it.
Yes, he is a narcissist, I will give you that but so was ex-President Obama and Obama was probably even more of a narcissist.
So, to those liberals, here is Dr. Keith Ablow, from Fox New Says: Let me issue the standard disclaimer of psychiatrists who discuss the mental health of public figures: I have not personally examined President Trump.

Now, let me put to rest the concerns of Sen. Al Franken and political commentators John Oliver and Andrew Sullivan and anyone else who publicly or privately has questioned the president’s sanity:

Donald Trump is stone cold sane.

When a man acquires billions of dollars through complex real estate transactions, invests in many countries, goes on to phenomenal success in television and turns his name into a worldwide brand, it is very unlikely that he is mentally unstable.

When the same man obviously enjoys the love and respect of his children and his wife, who seem to rely on him for support and guidance, it is extraordinarily unlikely that he is mentally unstable.

When the same man walks into the political arena and deftly defeats 16 Republican opponents and then the Democratic heir-apparent to a two-term president’s administration, the odds of that man being mentally unstable become vanishingly thin. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/02/15/relax-trump-is-stone-cold-sane.html

Now, you certainly can argue that most liberals are crazy, to the point of being mentall ill, well, that's another story.

More Fake News

Headline and story from the Los Angles Times:
It's legal for an immigration agent to pretend to be a police officer outside someone's door. But should it be?
During a nationwide operation this month by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a team of ICE agents in Los Angeles approached the house of a man targeted for deportation.
“Good morning, police,” one agent announced in the pre-dawn darkness. 

A man opened the door moments later.

“Good morning, how you doing? I’m a police officer. We’re doing an investigation,” the agent said.

The exchange, captured on a video released publicly by ICE, seemed routine. But it has reignited long-simmering objections from immigrant rights attorneys and advocates, who say the scene illustrates unethical — and in some cases, illegal —  ruses ICE agents have used for years, portraying themselves as officers from local police departments to ensnare people or fool them into revealing the whereabouts of family members.

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-immigration-deportation-ruses-20170219-story.html
First, ICE agents are federal police officers, so they were correct to identify them as police officers.
And they were doing an investigation.
So what is the problem, other than with liberals who love their illegal alien criminals, no matter how nasty the illegals are?
And of course, they bring in President Trump but since this has been going for like forever, how come they didn't about this in December 2016, when ex-President Obama was in office.
And so folks, this is how fake news works.  Fake issue that has been going on forever and then bring Trump into it.
No wonder why the majority of us hate the media.

What An Evil Moron

Well, I guess you can expect the racist, evil and immoral Shaun King from the liberal rag, the NY Daily News to say something stupid on a daily basis, but this time, he really has gone ape shit crazy.
From racist Shaun King and fake News NY Daily News:  For many of us who have been harassed and attacked directly by Milo Yiannopoulos over the past few years, we are well aware of his depravity. He openly embraces his role as a bigot and a troll who targets and ridicules whoever crosses his path. I have seen people's personal lives destroyed by death threats and doxing after Milo sets his gaze upon them. All of this has been true, while Milo — who's permanently banned from Twitter — has primarily functioned in a creepy corner of American politics called the Alt-Right. The most visible spokesperson for that movement, he has operated outside of the mainstream for most of the past two years — until now....
CPAC’s invitation legitimized a dangerous and disturbing man. But as I think about their embrace of a man without morals, I realize that they have become a party without morals.
With Milo as a celebrated man in the party and Donald Trump as their leader, the Republican Party has officially become the party of perverts. I don't say that lightly. That's exactly what the party is at this point.
Just days away from his speech at CPAC, the world is now fully understanding just how despicable Milo is. In video interviews that were already widely available but recently gained new attention, Milo appears to openly defend child molestation and pedophilia. He's not joking. It wasn't satirical. In repeated interviews the man seemingly goes out of his way to defend pedophile priests and even brags, with all seriousness, how a priest taught him, when he was 13 or 14, to give good oral sex. He then goes on to defend the value of men in their 20s and 30s having sex with young boys. I can hardly stand to repeat the things he said. Again, though, he was not joking. He was dead serious. He admitted in the interviews that his stance on young boys having sex with grown men was likely "controversial."  http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/king-trump-milo-turned-gop-party-perverts-article-1.2977403
First, to Shaun King, I have no pity on you.  You say Milo is a bigot and a troll.  Well, sir, you are also a bigot and troll who enjoys ruining people's lives as well.  You are an evil, racist immoral man who is also a crappy writer who may have plagiarized from other writers during his career.  Anything Milo did to you is probably a good thing.
As far as this Milo character, he does not represent the GOP in any way shape.  I have recently just heard of him. He acts like a reality star and does and says outrageous things.  He craves attention, good or bad and if doesn't get , he gets even more outrageous.
He claims he is a gay in-your-face Republican but his values and style are not what 99.999% of Republicans stand for.  So, for King to link loosely to connect Milo to the GOP and it's supporters is just as vile as Milo is.
I was going to look to see if there were liberal celebrities who are sex perverts who are the face of the Democrat party, but hell, they have Bill Clinton.
But we expect nothing less than that from King, the racist/bigot from the Daily News.

Good

From Fox News:  The Day Without Immigrants protest shut down businesses nationwide last week, but it didn’t come without some consequences for a handful of workers who decided to take part in the demonstrations.
Dozens of workers said they lost their jobs after taking part in Thursday’s protest. The boycott was aimed squarely at President Trump's efforts to step up deportations, build a wall at the Mexican border and close the nation's doors to many travelers. It was unclear how many participated.
Twelve Latino employees from the I Don’t Care Bar and Grill in Tulsa, Okla. told Fox 23 News they were fired over text message because they didn’t show up for their shift and failed to let their employers know about their absence. The employees told the station they expected to be reprimanded, but not dismissed.  http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/02/20/dozens-workers-lose-their-jobs-for-participating-in-day-without-immigrants-protest.html
If you have a no come, no call, you ought to be fired.
And if you decide to choose to protest, you have to be willing to face the consequences if you miss work.
And good for the employers who decided that their business was more important then some stupid rally.

Happy President's Day

Yes, liberals, he is your president.
Give him respect please.

If You First Don't Succeed

From the Chicago Tribune: A draft of President Donald Trump's revised immigration ban targets the same seven countries listed in his original executive order and exempts travelers who already have a visa to travel to the U.S., even if they haven't used it yet.
A senior administration official said the order, which Trump revised after federal courts held up his original immigration and refugee ban, will target only those same seven Muslim-majority countries — Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Libya.

The official said that green-card holders and dual citizens of the U.S. and any of those countries are exempt. The new draft also no longer directs authorities to single out — and reject — Syrian refugees when processing new visa applications.  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-revised-travel-ban-trump-20170219-story.html

This, of course, will make the typical liberal's head explode and good for Trump.

Speaking of Songs

Here is 1 Irish song that was converted into hard rock and something by the Grateful Dead.  For me, it's pretty interesting.
Here are the 3 versions:
First, Metallica and the hard rock version:


And here is the Grateful Dead Version:
And the Irish version by the Dubliners:

For me, I like the Irish version.

Sorry, But I Love This Music

I am adopted and don't know my ancestry but I must have these Irish roots.

The musician is Phil Coulter, who has had a major impact in music, starting in the 1960's.
From Wiki:
Phil Coulter (born 19 February 1942)^[1] is an Irish musician, songwriter and record producer. He was awarded the Gold Badge from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors in October 2009.^[2][3]
Coulter has amassed 23 platinum discs, 39 gold discs, 52 silver discs, two Grand Prix Eurovision awards; five Ivor Novello Awards, which includes Songwriter of the Year; three American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers awards; a Grammy Nomination; a Meteor Award, a National Entertainment Award and a Rose d'or d'Antibes.^[2] He is one of the biggest record sellers in his native land.^{[4]v  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Coulter}

Yes, it is racing season.  In Florida, a car flew over a fence and hit 3 people who were injured.
Speaking of racing, NASCAR started it's season today with the NASCAR Clash at Daytona.
The Daytona 500 runs next week, with a bunch of new rules that are hard to understand.

Rain Rain Go Away

Here in northern Arizona, we have been getting a bunch of rain, but not as bad as California. 
With all the storms, in all of California, it should end their drought in the whole state but the Chicken Littles will still claim there is a drought.
And there is this...a fire truck rolling into a ditch, which looks like a toy falling over.

No Kidding

It's like a recurring nightmare, he, ex-president Obama, just won't go away.
From the NY Post:  An Obama-tied activist group training tens of thousands of agitators to protest President Trump’s policies plans to hit Republican lawmakers supporting those policies even harder this week, when they return home for the congressional recess and hold town hall meetings and other functions.

Organizing for Action, a group founded by Obama and featured prominently on his new post-presidency website, is distributing a training manual to anti-Trump activists that advises them to bully GOP lawmakers into backing off support for repealing ObamaCare, curbing immigration from high-risk Islamic nations, and building a border wall. http://nypost.com/2017/02/18/obama-linked-activists-have-a-training-manual-for-protesting-trump/

Obama is not going away, especially since he is now being held accountable for all of his bad policies and decisions.  Except for now, he will have his surrogates do the dirty work.

Idiots

From the NY Post: An elite Upper East Side private school’s annual ice-skating party at Trump Wollman Rink in Central Park had to be canceled after parents refused to send their kids in protest of the president, sources said.

The Parents Association at The Dalton School sent a letter Thursday announcing the “Dalton on Ice” event was scrapped, saying “it would not be financially prudent” because of “significantly lower attendance.”

Dalton’s PA president, LaMae DeJongh, declined to comment — but sources said the low attendance was due to rampant anti-Trump sentiment at the elite prep school, which boasts alumni such as CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

“I think it is completely insane,” said one Dalton parent who disagrees with the protest. “Like him or not, it feels like a strange place for New Yorkers to protest. And sad that kids now have no skating party.”

Trump renovated the rink in 1986 after the city fumbled the job for six years.

http://nypost.com/2017/02/17/prep-school-cancels-party-at-trump-wollman-rink-over-parents-protests/
These idiot parents want to do hurt their kids so that the parents feel good about themselves.  The hell with the kids.
And the thing is that they won't even harm Trump in the slightest.

Good News For The GOP

He's back. President Obama is back in Chicago and he is doing the GOP a big favor.
From the Chicago Sun Times:Former President Barack Obama returned to Chicago for the first time as an ex-president on Wednesday, mapping plans for his Obama Center to be built in Jackson Park.
Obama had four meetings: One with community leaders on the South Side, at the Foundation’s Hyde Park offices, and three others relating to what will be a massive fundraising drive to raise hundreds of millions of dollars.
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/obama-back-in-chicago-for-first-time-as-former-

Taking $100,000,000's of dollars for himself means less money will be spent in 2018, the next federal election.
Welcome back sir.

Illegal Alien Not A Criminal?

Since when is it not a crime when you are not in the country Illegally?
From the NY Daily News:  A young father protected from deportation under former President Obama’s administration has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents near Seattle since Friday morning.

Daniel Ramirez Medina, 23, came to the United States illegally as a 7-year-old and was granted protection under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — twice, according to a lawsuit lodged against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.....

Court documents state Medina has been in custody for more than 70 hours without probable cause.

"He has not committed any crime," the document reads. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/immigrant-protected-obama-dreamer-act-detained-seattle-article-1.2972834

The illegal alien is 23 years old and has had 5 years to make an attempt to become a legal citizen but apparently has not made an attempt. 

He should have been arrested and should be deported.

And yes, he has committed a crime.

Crab Fishing Boat Disaster

Could be a scene from "The Deadliest Catch"
From the Fairbanks Daily Miner:  The search has been called off for the six veteran fishermen aboard a crabbing boat missing in the icy, turbulent Bering Sea.

The fishing vessel Destination went missing early Saturday after an emergency signal from a radio beacon registered to the ship. The signal originated from 2 miles off St. George, an island about 650 miles west of Kodiak Island.

The Coast Guard released a statement Monday night saying the search has been suspended.

"We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the six crewmembers during this extremely difficult time," said Rear Adm. Michael McAllister, commander of the Coast Guard 17th District. "The decision to suspend a search is always difficult and is made with great care and consideration."

Crabtree fishing is so dangerous as seen on Deadliest Catch. 

RIP to the fishermen and prayers to their families.

GOP Eats It's Young Again

Another difference between the GOP and Democrats.
National Security Mike Flynn resigns under pressure for simply making a phone call.
Why, because he lied to Vice President Mike Pence.
Meanwhile, Democrats under former president Obama and including Obama himself lied to the public constantly with absolutely no consequences whatsoever.
Stupid GOP, they don't have the balls to play the political game.

Another Reason Why Kmart Is A Failing Company

I happen to work at Kmart on a part time basis and so I know a little bit about Kmart.
First, the company, which is also part of Sears is run by a bunch of idiots who pass their idiocy down the chain, to the local stores who also do some very stupid things.  Kmart is a failing business and will probably go out of business in the year or so.
And here is another reason why Sears/Kmart is a failing company. 
From the Chicago Tribune: The list of companies dropping products that carry the Trump name grew this weekend, with two major U.S. retailers announcing that they're no longer selling Trump Home items online.
Reuters reported Saturday that Sears Holdings and subsidiary Kmart will discontinue online sales of 31 items from the Trump Home collection, which includes lines of living room and bedroom furniture, lamps and chandeliers.
Brian Hanover, a spokesman for Illinois-based Sears Holdings, said the decision was made "amid a streamlining effort," Reuters reported.
"As part of the company's initiative to optimize its online product assortment, we constantly refine that assortment to focus on our most profitable items," Hanover said, adding that neither Sears nor Kmart carry Trump Home products in their retail stores.

Kmart/Sears is hemorrhaging money so in turn, they decide to cut a line they probably make a lot money from.
Idiots.

Sad

From the Las Vegas Sun:
Two people were killed when a Lamborghini spun off the track and erupted into flames this afternoon at SpeedVegas.

The crash happened about 1:30 p.m. at the commercial racing experience track at 14200 Las Vegas Blvd. South, near Interstate 15 and St. Rose Parkway, according to Metro Police.

A client of SpeedVegas, a man in his mid-30s, was driving the white Lamborghini with an instructor in the passenger seat, police said. The car drove off the track and spun into a concrete barrier lined with car tires and immediately burst into flames.
Both the driver and the instructor were killed on impact, according to police.
The instructor was a man in his late-50s to early 60s that police said was a longtime professional driver at the course.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration will lead the investigation because it happened on private property, police said.
“Today, an accident on the track resulted in the deaths of a SpeedVegas employee and a customer,” Aaron Fessler, co-founder and chief executive officer of SpeedVegas, said in a statement. “We are fully cooperating with investigators at this time. We are devastated by this tragic event and extend our heartfelt sympathy to the families and to our SpeedVegas team members who have lost a beloved colleague.”   https://lasvegassun.com/news/2017/feb/12/client-instructor-die-in-lamborghini-crash-at-raci/
There are a lot of companies like Speed Las Vegas, especially for NASCAR type cars.  While I am probably wrong, this is the first time I have heard of someone being killed in this business.
But it seems like a fancy car drive car wanna be couldn't handle the car and the instructor tried to push the driver to go faster so he could get a bigger tip.

Even Alligators Support Trump

Look, it's the Trump gator.

Finally

It's about time that President Trump is finally getting his cabinet filled. Tonight, the Health and Human Services (Tom Price) and Attorney General  (Jeff Sessions) were barely voted in as the Democrats continued their hissy fits.
Now, maybe Sessions can initiate some good old fashion pay back and investigate some Democrats, like, maybe start with Hillary Clinton?

Good...Nah,.....Fantastic

It took the vice president to cast the deciding vote but Betsy Devos was confirmed to be the next Education Secretary.
From Fox News:  School choice advocate Betsy DeVos was narrowly confirmed Tuesday as the next education secretary despite deep opposition from teachers unions and other groups, after Vice President Pence intervened to cast a historic tie-breaking vote.
Pence’s vote marked the first time in American history a vice president has broken a tie on a Cabinet nominee’s Senate confirmation – and the first tie-breaking vote by a VP since 2008. Pence was compelled to cast the vote after two Republican senators – Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska – joined all 48 Senate Democrats in opposing DeVos.

It's great that that DeVos is for School Choice and let's hope she will do something about No Child Left Behind.
Another great decision by President Trump.

And Then There Are These Fools

2 1/2 weeks ago, I needed to get my birth certificate from the Wisconsin Vitaly Records and I ordered a total of 4 certificates.
So, I sent in my application and a money order for $29, which is the fee for 4 applications.
And they never sent the certificates.
Why you ask?
Because I apparently for got to put my mom's maiden name on the application.
Even though they have my phone number.
So, these fools were going to sit on my applicant's and not tell me there was a problem or until I called them to find what was going on.
Idiots.
