How does one put the following data points together?
- The mayor of a major American city faced with riots tells her police for to "let them loot, it's only property."
- Economists were surprised by an unexpected decline in US growth from an expected 1.0% growth to an actual 0.2% in the first quarter of 2015.
- The administration is now in the business of helping families pay ransoms to Islamic kidnappers as Josh Earnest told reporters "Speaking generally, helping with a ransom payment -- is not tantamount to paying a ransom."
- Former Gitmo prisoners are now demanding reparations from the US taxpayer.
- Navy ships are now escorting American flagged vessels through the Straits of Hormuz as Iran’s foreign minister boasts that Congress can’t stop Obama’s deal with Tehran. John Boehner agrees he doesn't have the votes to stop the president.
- The Clinton Foundation failed to disclose 1,100 foreign donations as Frank Giustra responded "we're not trying to hide anything."
- Hillary Clinton, in a major speech, broke her silence on the riots in Baltimore and proposed an “end to the era of mass incarceration”.
- Vermont Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-described socialist, has announced he is running for president.
- The administration will not let states even ask people to establish they are citizens when they register to vote.
- A poll shows that a “strong majority of young voters would like to see a Democrat stay in the White House in 2016.” The millennials can't wait to see Hillary, or preferably Warren or Sanders, in the White House.

Your Say
“So in the Libyan fable it is told
That once an eagle, stricken with a dart,
Said, when he saw the fashion of the shaft,
‘With our own feathers, not by others’ hands,
Are we now smitten.’”

It's crazy for the US Navy to protect shipping for non-US flagged ships. Stop giving free protection to ships flying flags of convenience. Let Panama and Liberia protect their floating sweatshops.

I'm gonna tear all my garments off, pry my eyeballs out of the sockets with a pointy stick, set my hair on fire and run full speed naked down the median strip of I-75 juggling pancakes, coachwhips, and half full gas cans.
I just wanna be as normal as everybody else.....
