A BB gun is a weapon!

Recently heard about a kid getting shot by police who was carrying a BB gun that looked like "a real gun". His parents apparently equated a BB gun with a toy gun. Sorry folks but a BB gun is a "real gun" with limited capabilities but it can still kill and or injure someone if they are hit with a BB in the right places. It is not a toy gun!!!!

Why are parents letting their kids out of the house with a BB gun? They frankly are responsible for this kid getting shot by a police officer. Yes police officers need to be well trained and better trained regarding when and how to use their lethal weapons. But when you have "toy guns" and especially BB guns that look just like regular pistols, there are real issues involved.

Humvee or speech from Clinton for 225000? Which one for you?

Just saw that in Germany three Humvees broke loose from parachutes in a "routine" exercise. They cost 220,000 each. Got me to thinking would I rather attend a speech by Hillary costing 225,000 or get a Humvee? Guess which one I chose........

Hillary: Gives new meaning to conflicts of interest and the "general public interest"

By the way, I wonder if any of the speeches was about the "general public interest" as opposed to a vested interest's concerns?

Aiding and abetting potentially indicted people

All of the Clinton supporters who are worried about Sanders continuing his campaign should be more worried that he won't be around if and when Bill and/or Hillary Clinton are charged with criminal charges as a result of decisions being made relative to when and how speeches were paid for and/or when and how contributions were made to the Clinton Foundation. Here is one of several apparent situations of interest.

Therefore, they should be worried about are these supporters giving aid and comfort to potential criminals. Will they have as part of their resume that they gave aid and comfort to potential criminals? That is much more potentially serious than being worried about Sanders quitting the "race" sooner so the "supporters" don't have to worry about negative comments. If they can't handle negative judgments during a primary, how are they going to handle it during the general election where Trump is already calling Clinton "crooked Hillary"?

Bernie better hang around......

There are not only current potential indictments that we know about but there may be some we don't know about. There may be a transaction by transaction investigations of her's and Bill's speeches, their "foundation" and ties to decisions made while she was Secretary of State such as the Swiss bank UBS situation.

The bottom line is there are too many risks for her getting elected let alone being allowed to govern due in large part to her's and Bill's actions. Is it true they registered corporations in Delaware? If they did, the only reason one does that unless they live in Delaware is to evade and/or avoid something.

Are paid speeches the new way to launder monies for services rendered?

Can a tax payer sue Clinton for release of those speeches to Goldman-Sachs? If Goldman-Sachs tax deducted those speeches as an "expense", then it would be interesting to find out if a regular taxpayer has "standing" to sue. This would be based on the "regular" taxpayer paying more in taxes or getting less in services because of the lost revenue to the government due to the $675,000 tax deduction.

This situation is why she stands at between 57% and 59% disapproval rate. Her lack of perceived "honesty" makes her a VERY flawed candidate. Frankly, if she were to get elected, if Republicans retain control of the Senate and House, they will file impeachment charges on day one, and there will a transaction by transaction investigations of her and Bill's speeches, their "foundation" and ties to decisions made while she was Secretary of State such as the Swiss bank UBS situation.

Why Sander's may be able to "govern" more than Clinton


Clinton stands at between 57% and 59% disapproval rate. Her lack of perceived "honesty" makes her a VERY flawed candidate. Frankly, if she were to get elected, if Republicans retain control of the Senate and House, they will file impeachment charges on day one, and there will a transaction by transaction investigations of her and Bill's speeches, their "foundation" and ties to decisions made while she was Secretary of State such as the Swiss bank UBS situation. How do you and can you govern with that kind of a climate you are operating in?

How can you argue you are concerned with the average persons concerns when you live with and under the rules for the rich and famous? They aren't FDR!Also, on this being equal pay day, what did Clinton do to improve wages for the Walmart employees when she was on the Board of Directors? In the case of the Clinton's, follow the money!
