Roanoke Times Continues It’s Downward Spiral
-
Roanoke Times to shift printing to Lynchburg,
Richmond
“Fifty-three
jobs — 37 full-time and 16 part-time — will be lost in the pressroom and mailroom.”
-
-
One can tie
the RT’s ongoing downward spiral to the print industries issues brought about by the
electronic media and 24-7 TV news, however, the RT management and editors bear
a major part of the ‘credit’ for the
RT’s decline and malaise.
-
What other
business goes out of their way to alienate 50% of their potential customers?
Over the
past 25 years that I have read the RT, their slant and bias embracing and
promoting everything progressive and liberal has been their hallmark and brand.
-
Many
potential customers have viewed this as a stark promotion of an economic,
political and social agenda of the left-wing and not fair and balanced news.
-
Perhaps
things would be different if the owners and editors had simply focused on the founder’s
values and message:
-
First
editorial, Nov 30, 1886, by Mr. Claytor, first owner and editor of the Roanoke
Times outlines the paper’s philosophy including:
• It has no pets to reward and no enemies to put down.
• It will endeavor to be truthful.
• It is the mouthpiece of no order, corporation, party nor clique.
• To the fostering of our infant manufactories, to the development of our mineral resources and the cultivation of our fertile fields, must we direct our best efforts if we would make this Southern land of ours blossom as the rose.

Obama-Hillary Already Had The Big Ideas For Virginia Coal Counties
-
Roanoke
Times, 5-30-2017, Half-Pg 5: Editorial:
We need big ideas for the coalfields
-
-
Big
half-page editorial on what to do with the economic disaster in Virginia’s
coal counties that actually extends through Roanoke
and Virginia.
-
RT Editors: You-all were happy and elated with the
Obama-Hillary Big Ideas to bankrupt and shut-down every coal mine in the
country!
So like your
feminist mom’s back in the 60’s, you burned your bra and now you want support!
-
Where were
your Big Editorials telling Obama and Hillary about the obvious major negative
adverse consequences to their Big Ideas?
Apparently much too busy supporting their elections!
-
Perhaps
instead of opining about the outcomes of the Obama-Hillary Big Ideas on killing
coal, you should get in you Prius’ and drive out through the coal country of
Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky telling all those folks why you embraced
and supported the Obama-Hillary Big Ideas and their elections.

Merkel
reiterates call for Europe to 'take fate into

-
This
statement by Germany’s Merkel
proves that the Trump trip to Europe was a BIG
Success!
-
Since 1945
(72-yeaars) the EU countries have relied on the US for their primary defense while
enjoying major economic trade advantages.
-
Now Trump
wants Europe to meet their 2% GDP commitment
to NATO and start renegotiating trade agreement and they are acting like
college grad millennial’s being asked to move-out on their own.
-
What did
NATO and the EU do to stop the Syrian debacle that has resulted in the biggest
humanitarian disaster since WWII and swamped Europe with ISIS
terrorists?
-
What did
NATO and the EU do to stop the Russian invasions into Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea?
-
Is it not
US troops that have been deployed into Poland
to challenge Russia’s
threats against its old Baltic slave-states?
-
The Trump
policy to get Europe, the EU and NATO to get their act together and stop
exploiting US taxpayers and US military assets is right on target.
-
Why aren’t
the Democrats and their Pravda Media supporting this important change?
Talk about
“sour grapes”.

Kaine’s Kid Again: Proud Of Our Senator’s Statements?
-
Tim Kaine's
son, 7 others, charged in protest of pro-Trump event in Minnesota
-
“Kaine
spokeswoman Miryam Lipper said in a statement: “Today’s announcement of misdemeanor
charges against Senator Kaine’s son contains no suggestion that he engaged in
disruptive behavior while at the rally, but are instead focused on his actions
as he was arrested after he left. Tim and Anne support their son and hope the
matter is resolved soon.””
“A criminal
complaint says Linwood Kaine and others changed into black clothing during the
rally and entered the Capitol. One group member threw a smoke bomb inside. The
complaint says the 24-year-old Kaine was among those who ran away, and he initially
resisted arrest.”
-
-
Va US Dem
Senator Kaine’s explanation of his son’s illegal actions and behaviors is that
the only really bad thing he did was ‘resist arrest’. Really?

opportunities to stop the Manchester
bomber had been missed.”
This is
indicative of the environment the “Obama-Judges” are creating here in the US with their politicalization
of our immigration laws and processes.

Appeals
court upholds block on Trump's travel ban; administration to appeal to Supreme
Court
“Judge Paul
Niemeyer, one of the three dissenters, said the majority "looks past the
face" of the executive order.
The approach "adopts a new rule
of law that uses campaign statements to recast the plain, unambiguous, and
religiously neutral text," Niemeyer, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote. "Opening the
door to the use of campaign statements to inform the text of later executive
orders has no rational limits."
"Unless
corrected by the Supreme Court, the majority's new approach, which is
unsupported by any Supreme Court case, will become a sword for plaintiffs to
challenge facially neutral government actions, particularly those affecting
regions dominated by a single religion," he wrote.”

since almost all Lenin’s statues have been removed from the countries freed
from the Soviet breakup.

By John Solomon and Sara Carter of Circa
“The

to disclose the extent of the problems until the final days before Donald Trump
was elected president last fall,”
“one out of
every 20 searches seeking upstream Internet data on Americans inside the NSA’s
so-called Section 702 database violated the safeguards Obama and his
intelligence chiefs vowed to follow in 2011,”
“The
admitted violations (to the FISA Court) undercut one of the primary defenses
that the intelligence community and Obama officials have used in recent weeks
to justify their snooping into incidental NSA intercepts about Americans.”

Roanoke
Times, 5-24-2017, Pg 1, 4: Ex-CIA director (Brennan) speaks to Congress; first
learned of Russian contacts last summer (circa July 2016)
“In late July of last year there was so much
concern (about what?) that he convened a
group of officials from the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency to focus on
it exclusively.”
-
-
All this
“concern” and the deployment of key assets in the Secret Services (CIA, FBI and
NSA) to “focus on ‘it’ exclusively”.
And the
results:
No Known
Complicity with Russians or Law Breaking by any Trump people.
Who, during
that time frame, were private citizens working on a political campaign, not
government employees.
-
Given the
major application of US Intelligence Assets by Obama’s Team, over a six-month
period, one would expect that either illegal activity had been “recorded” or
there isn’t any.
What new

Unless of

interesting that Obama’s Intelligence Chief launched this major campaign
against Trump campaign people but apparently totally ignored the Russian-Hillary-Bill Massive
Slush Fund and the Uranium give-away?
Hillary as
Sec. of State oversaw the Russian take-over of 20% of the US uranium-ore
reserves at the very time those same Russians gave Bill $500,000 for a little

An Old Democrat Opines About The Obama-Hillary-DNC Resist Movement
-
OpEd WSJ
By
Ted Van Dyk
May 21, 2017 5:44 p.m. ET
-
‘A
jackass can kick down a barn,” said the legendary Speaker Sam Rayburn. “But it
takes a carpenter to build one.”-
Democrats should reflect on that wisdom as they consider the special counsel now appointed to investigate President Trump’s alleged ties to Russia. In the short term, the inquiry will probably hurt Mr. Trump and feed attempts to drive him from office. But in the end the president’s attackers will pay a price.
-
The political and media hysteria surrounding the Trump administration lies somewhere on the repulsiveness scale between the Jacobin excesses of the French Revolution and the McCarthy era. Thus far the public knows of no presidential action that would justify impeachment. Never mind, the crowd cries, let us have the verdict now. We can do the trial later.
-
What about discussions between Trump campaign advisers and Russian or other foreign leaders? Don’t they count as high crimes and misdemeanors? No, such conversations take place all the time in national campaigns
-
What about the firing of FBI Director James Comey ? Wasn’t that suspicious? No, Mr. Comey disregarded the Justice Department chain of command and the normal proprieties of his office. He made public statements about ongoing investigations. He allowed it to leak that the president had suggested leniency for Mike Flynn, the former White House adviser now under investigation. A presidential suggestion of that nature would be neither illegal nor unprecedented
-
What about Mr. Trump’s disclosure of classified information during a meeting with Russian leaders? It’s a tempest in a teapot. The president has the authority to classify or declassify information as he wishes. I have witnessed other presidents doing it.
What about Mr. Trump’s executive order declaring a short-term pause on immigration from countries with active terrorist movements? It may have been poorly handled, but other presidents have done similar things
-
What about all Mr. Trump’s flip-flopping? Shouldn’t a president be trustworthy and reliable? Yes, but when Mr. Trump has reversed his campaign pledges it has been mostly for the good.
If Mr. Trump were a conventional president, these missteps would be shrugged off as growing pains or considered worthy of only mild reproof. President Trump, it is true, lacks the knowledge, experience and temperament for the office. His crude narcissism is grating. He has carelessly contributed to his problems with heedless public statements. He nonetheless was duly elected and should be given the leeway that new presidents are traditionally afforded.
-
Critics, moreover, misread the temper of the American people. Most voters don’t much like Mr. Trump. But they like chaos less.
I spoke recently to a Democratic group consisting mainly of Bernie Sanders supporters. Many were searching for a constructive response to the Trump presidency. They were people, as the saying goes, seeking to light a candle rather than curse the darkness.
-
I suggested that they concentrate on developing alternatives to Mr. Trump’s proposals—on health care, taxes, the budget. “You mean we should help Trump?” someone asked. “No,” I answered, “you should help your country.” I was surprised by the outburst of applause that followed.
-
Democrats, in their all-out opposition to Mr. Trump, are missing real opportunities to influence policy. The tax-reform debate is a prime example. If Democrats were shrewd, they would try to negotiate a grand compromise, in which loopholes are scrubbed from the code and Social Security and Medicare put on sounder long-term footing. But to get there, purposeful polarization must give way to constructive engagement.
-
Trump haters disregard an old rule of politics and history: In the end, voters always choose order over disorder. Kicking Mr. Trump to the curb wouldn’t return the country to the pre-Trump status quo. It would likely bring forth new law-and-order leadership more disciplined and conservative than Mr. Trump’s.
-
Mr. Van Dyk was active for more than 40 years in Democratic administrations and campaigns, including as Vice President Humphrey’s assistant in the White House.

Really? And prey tell where does the DGIF get “their”
money they are so willing to spend on this spurious project?

limited use stretch of water; however, the drowning of a swimmer 11-years ago
isn’t it!

Little Girl Looks Like Harp Seal Lunch To Sea Lion

Sea lion
drags girl into the water - video

After a
large sea lion made an aggressive move toward a little girl, the parents

Apparently
the little girl looked enough like a young harp seal for the sea lion to grab
her and jerk her down into and under the water.

the water with his new-found lunch.

Apparently
these parents don’t understand that: Wild
Animals are WILD.

But you
can’t fix stupid
