"Democrats from coast to coast threw everything they had at this race, and Karen would not be defeated," House Speaker Paul Ryan said in a statement.”<br /><br />http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/20/karen-handel-defeats-jon-ossoff-georgia-race/<br />The Washington Times: “The high hopes Democrats had of striking a political blow to President Trump in the battle for Georgia’s open congressional seat were shattered Tuesday.”<br /><br /><br />http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/house-race-in-georgia-finally-heads-to-voters-as-d-c-watches-closely/<br />The Chicago Sun-Times: “A special thanks to the president of the United States of America,” she said late Tuesday night as her supporters chanted, “Trump! Trump! Trump!”<br />It was Handel’s most public embrace of the man whose tenuous standing in this well-educated, suburban enclave made a previously safe Republican district close to begin with.”<br /><br /><br />http://www.denverpost.com/2017/06/20/karen-handel-jon-ossoff-donald-trump-georgia-special-election/<br />From the Denver Post: “President Donald Trump’s hopes of steadying his presidency and his agenda on Capitol Hill were given a lift Tuesday when a Republican won a special congressional election in the Atlanta suburbs.”<br /><br /><br /><br />And some diehard leftist newspaper headlines:<br /><br />http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-georgia-special-election-20170621-story.html<br />Chicago Tribune: “Analysis: Democrats may have lost the battle in Georgia. But they haven't lost the war.”<br /><br />http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article157303374.html<br />Kansas City Star: “Republican Karen Handel declared victory in Georgia's 6th Congressional District with a promise that she'll work to gain the confidence of voters who backed her Democratic opponent. But Handel's thank you to President Donald Trump in the same speech Tuesday night is unlikely to comfort backers of the Democrat who came to symbolize anti-Trump resistance.<br /><br />http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article157305869.html<br />Miami Herald: “Democrats, reeling from Georgia loss, face 2018 reality check”<br /> “Congressman John Lewis, before the votes were counted Tuesday, called Jon Ossoff’s candidacy “not just a campaign” but a “movement.”<br />Lewis and the rest of the Democratic Party were reminded a few hours later that movements can still lose elections.” <br />“This is not the outcome many of us were hoping for,” Ossoff told supporters during his concession speech. “But this the beginning of something much bigger than us.”<br /><br /><br />https://www.dallasnews.com/news/local-politics/2017/06/21/special-elections-show-democrats-need-anti-trump-message-win-2018<br />Dallas News: “Special elections show Democrats need more than anti-Trump message to win in 2018” “It doesn’t matter how many times you toss Donald Trump’s name in the mix, or how intense the resistance is to the controversial president’s policies. Trying to win on other party’s turf is usually a losing proposition.”<br /><br />Rikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400350021161744353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555963699911004826.post-51736144868158625412017-06-21T06:39:11.473-05:002017-06-21T06:39:11.473-05:00Oh, good grief!
"Capital-Journal panel discu...Oh, good grief!<br /><br />"Capital-Journal panel discusses newspaper operations during truthfulness talk"<br /><br />"Content that appears on the Opinion page of the print newspaper is generated independently."<br /><br />And, here we see Matt Johnson contradict himself in one short sentence:<br /><br />“We still approach issues objectively, even if it doesn’t seem entirely impartial,” Johnson said.<br /><br />How can you be "objective", if you aren't "entirely impartial"?! That doesn't even make any sense! (Except, coming from a totally-non-objective, totally-partisan hack like him, it's "understandable" that he would utter something so inane.)<br /><br />'One participant asked whether The Associated Press is considered reliable."<br /><br />"Smith said the AP has “impeccable standards,” but also encouraged media consumers to scrutinize all of the information they encounter."<br /><br />WELL...they have "impeccable standards"...(but, ssshhh....you really can't trust ANY of them...)! <br /><br />No, what he is saying is that the AP DOES have "impeccable standards", but don't believe that they adhere to any of them. Which should be obvious to anyone.<br /><br />“I think it’s great that people are becoming more skeptical of news, and I think I would encourage everybody to bring that scrutiny to whatever information you’re getting,” he said, “because I think that if you scrutinize all of your information the same way that you scrutinize the news in the newspaper, I think you’ll find that we rise above the rest.”<br /><br />So...they are the turd that floats to the top, I guess?<br /><br />"Quickly acknowledging mistakes also is a mark of a credible news organization, she noted. Accountability includes issuing corrections of any errors, she said."<br /><br />Yep, bury the corrections in small print under the obits. <br /><br />I still propose a "National Journalistics Standards" by our federal government. Entirely voluntary to join, and if you maintain a score, you may proudly display a logo, but the current "truthfulness score" must accompany it. <br /><br />Anyone who does not wish to join and be monitored? Well, everyone will know not to trust them. Drop below a score level, you lose your 'credibility', and must re-earn it.<br /><br />Additionally, ALL "corrections/retractions" MUST appear front page, bold, above the fold for several days, including Sunday. if televised/video media, must run a continuous "crawl" for a period of time, with the top "news story" the 'correction", and many short ones during commercials. <br /><br />Time to get media back to "journalistic integrity".

It it least has the possibilities of "the unknown" that it can consider.<br /><br />"Computer modelling" can consider ONLY the data that has been input. To get a true database of factual data of the past, they would have to input every temp and weather condition of every hour of every day everywhere on Earth for the past, every solar activity, every volcanic eruption, every meteor crash, forestation/deforestation, every dinosaur emission, EVERYTHING from the past. <br /><br />And, that STILL wouldn't be able to tell them what will happen in the future. <br /><br />To do that, they would need to input every POSSIBLE scenario of any naturally-occuring disturbance, every reduction/increase of any possible human and animal activity, every possible variable of solar activity at any minute of any day in the future, every possible EVERYTHING! <br /><br />Well...there will ALWAYS be something nobody EVER expected. ALWAYS. There will ALWAYS be something from the past that they overlooked or just got wrong. <br /><br />And, it would take forever to even try to compile all that data, and even if THAT was possible, it would take forever to run "simulations", and what they would end up with using every past bit of data, and every bit of possible variables of the future?<br /><br />They would end up with EVERY scenario, which means which they would end up with ZERO definitive confirmable certain proof that any one thing, or even a narrow range of anything, is going to happen.<br /><br />All the supercomputers on the planet, linked together, sharing all the data and all the projected "possibilities" that anyone and everyone can even think of...will NEVER spit out a definitive "the science is settled" answer.<br /><br />So, why are we trying to cripple our economy, and wasting billions of dollars a year on this "crystal ball climate change" nonsense? Especially, when it's always proving itself wrong...and always will?

If Ossoff B'Gosh had won, the Dems would be yelling LOUDLY about how this is such a tremendous backlash of ALL AMERICA against Trump!<br /><br />Now, it'll probably be "Oh...this didn't really mean all that much. it was JUST a small special election. And besides...the racists came out in too great of numbers to keep Ossoff from winning. The entire country STILL HATES TRUMP!"<br /><br />So, they bring in "a ringer", who lied with every sentence that he was fiscally-responsible and "shared their values", financed by the worst of the worst of the anti-American Socialist/Commie/Fascists from all over the world, spending a record amount of money...and he STILL lost!<br /><br />I can't even understand why they allowed him to run. I guess liberals just love having immigrants from other places running things, huh?<br /><br />Yep...they were polling, and panting and ranting about how they were SO SURE they had this one wrapped up...and it was all because of Trump! Watch in amusement as they all start doing their whirling-dervish dances trying to spin their way out of it.<br /><br />Normally, I have empathy and some pity for severely mentally-ill people, but I find I can't muster-up a bit of either for today's liberals. <br /> Nunyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07836516027718099719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555963699911004826.post-6729196709156455982017-06-21T05:04:52.814-05:002017-06-21T05:04:52.814-05:00Kevin if you are home today I may drop by to leave...Kevin if you are home today I may drop by to leave that tall propane tank for your trailer, If you are not home I will put it in front of your garage.

For him being killed while trying to kill a Police Officer.<br /><br />A Grand Jury exonerated the officer. Even the racist Eric Holder sent his team of political activists down there to <b>try</b> to find something they could exploit and they couldn't.<br /><br />So the thug gets killed while trying to kill a Police Officer and his family, a collection of criminals and drug addicts is going to get $3 million because....well, I don't know why. He deserved what he got. Officer Wilson should get the $3 million. obama and the godless left ruined his life for doing exactly what he was trained to do in an entirely appropriate and justifiable manner. Instead this pack of criminals gets the loot.<br /><br />So that's what's wrong with America. That our legal system would allow this to happen. Criminals getting rewarded for crime, to the tune of millions.<br /><br /><b>Whoever said crime doesn't pay sure was wrong,</b><br /><br />The country should sue the family for all the damage they caused.Still Safe at Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12757238066374495377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555963699911004826.post-63471099008139276542017-06-20T10:30:34.096-05:002017-06-20T10:30:34.096-05:00Thanks Kevin (big smile)......

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”…..and I realize that America is a land made up of immigrants……but……all the immigrants of the past went through the legal channels to become American Citizens. Not so today, multitudes of illegal immigrants have filtrated American cities and are so defiant in regard to going through the legal channels to become US Citizens. <br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_the_United_States<br /><br />Within what the link above has on illegal immigration per wiki, it has a link to a report that was published by ice.gov in February 2017. You’ll find these links in a picture inset of the United States map showing Sanctuary Cities.<br /><br />https://www.ice.gov/doclib/ddor/ddor2017_02-11to02-17.pdf<br /><br />Though illegal immigrants flourish quite well in America….it is California, New Mexico, and Colorado who predominantly went for Hillary in the 2017 Presidential Election are the three states where illegal immigrants flourish the most compared to the remainder of the Continental United States. <br /><br /><br />Personally, I find this to be heartbreaking because at different times in my life I’ve lived in California, Colorado, and visited New Mexico countless times. These states hold such unique beauty and I have many cherished memories – California for its sunshine and sandy beaches, Colorado for its mountainous beauty, and New Mexico – a place so dear to my heart. <br />Rikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400350021161744353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555963699911004826.post-11614607530166750422017-06-20T07:52:22.493-05:002017-06-20T07:52:22.493-05:00Downtown parking problem.

Our city government, for the most part quite a group of fools and dimwits in my opinion, have tried for years to fix the "downtown problem". Once more, they built a bunch of fancy little displays and fountains and cut up the street and so on. They think the people don't come downtown because there aren't enough little displays and fountains. Wrong. The people don't come downtown because there is nothing downtown. What exactly are you going to do? Be realistic about it. <br /><br />These fools look at Mass St in Lawrence and imaging all this crap they built will turn downtown Topeka into Mass St. Nope. Lipstick on a pig.<br /><br />Lots of big developer money downtown, mostly in the hands of a couple of heavily politically connected people. And they make a lot of money. But downtown is dead. It will always be dead. It's rotting and needs to be buried. It's long past saving. There is no value to us the taxpayers in reviving this ghetto so a couple of developers can make a bunch of money.<br /><br />So, parking? Maybe it's your two hour limit. Not two hours in one spot, two hours total. You stay downtown more than two hours and you get a ticket. Feed the meter? Still two hour limit. Move your car? Still two hour limit. Tickets for everybody. That really encourages people to come and shop, doesn't it?<br /><br />Go down to the Plaza in KC. Park free. Shop all day. Park in a garage. Free. That's how it's done. And you can shop all day, there's plenty to do there. Eat, shop, drink, whatever. <br /><br />Topeka? Unless you have some kind of government business, I don't know how you could spend more than a few minutes doing any kind of shopping. Not much there.<br /><br />The only thing worth saving is the Jayhawk Theatre. And they pour money down the sewers by the millions while that place is the real treasure downtown. Restore that, have events regularly and people will come.<br /><br />Parking problem? Of course they have a parking problem. The city is run by incompetent people tied to big money developers that run the whole show.<br /><br />It took these fools three years to pave the streets and sidewalks and build a couple of fountains. Three years. And it already looks like crap. They built the Empire State Building in a little over a year. But it took these incompetents three years to redo a four block stretch. <br /><br />And now we have panhandlers, crazy people standing on the corner screaming at passersby and a bunch of empty buildings that look like downtown Detroit. And they just can't figure out why they have a parking problem. It's just a mystery.Still Safe at Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12757238066374495377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555963699911004826.post-30917979898005706542017-06-20T06:11:07.908-05:002017-06-20T06:11:07.908-05:00Here go the commie tax-and-spender "Editorial...Here go the commie tax-and-spender "Editorial Board" over there, again.<br /><br />http://cjonline.com/opinion/editorials/2017-06-19/editorial-imperfect-accomplishment<br /><br />"Although we acknowledge that the budget isn’t a comprehensive “structural fix,” it’s a drastic improvement over previous efforts to fund the government with woefully insufficient tax revenue and a much heavier reliance on short-term transfers."<br /><br />Nowhere in this propaganda do they acknowledge the fact that it is NOT "insufficient tax revenue" causing all this. It is largely because of "too much spending". It is also because of another factor that they mention, which is KPERS.<br /><br />A "structural fix" would phase out KPERS, and our "employees" would endure the same kinds of retirement account risks that we all have to deal with. Theirs is "guaranteed", and the taxpayers keep funding them in retirement...for NOT working. Ours is not "guaranteed". And, OUR company doesn't keep paying us to NOT work.<br /><br />So, we save up what we invest and risk, then get taxed when we use it. And, if theirs takes a hit, like that big one we ALL did in 2008, WE take the hit, personally for ours, but WE also are forced to make up their losses.<br /><br />For how much longer can we afford to use taxpayer money to fund the entire lives of government workers? Many, of whom work only 25-30 years, retire early, and live another 20...30...40 more years?<br /><br />I don't think we have enough private-sector taxpayers to pay for all that, PLUS all the other things of which government spends. <br /><br />Nunyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07836516027718099719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555963699911004826.post-59301688938966890282017-06-20T05:50:43.415-05:002017-06-20T05:50:43.415-05:00"Study to highlight downtown parking issues, ..."Study to highlight downtown parking issues, solutions"<br /><br />"Challenges facing the city regarding parking in downtown Topeka will be assessed by a national consultant hired to take a comprehensive look at needs now and in the future."<br /><br />Lemme see...pay a lot of taxpayer money to yet-another consulting firm to study the obvious. GOT IT! Makes perfect nonsense to me!<br /><br />"McCarter said revenue for the parking fund in 2016 was $2.8 million; expenses were $3.1 million."<br /><br />That's odd. You mean...when you have all that equipment to mainstain, and ticketers hired to run around all day in their little vehicles...and nobody goes down there...they lost money?!<br /><br />Maybe we could get a 4th-grade consulting group to explain THAT!<br /><br />Good grief.
