BITS & PIECES

just some thoughts rolling around in my head.

Let me see if i have this straight.  a white officer shoots a black thug in ferguson, missouri and the locals riot and burn out their own neighborhoods and even though the officer is cleared by both state & federal authorities, the protest & rioting continued.

In chicago, a black commander was accused of sticking his gun down the throat of another black thug but there wasn't a single protester outside the police station. and when that black officer was acquitted yesterday.............nothing. zip. nada.  so black on black crime isn't worthy of protest? and they say it's not about racial hatred when they protest?  please.

what the hell was WHEATON COLLEGE thinking about when they suspended tenured associate professor DR. LARYCIA HAWKINS for declaring on social media that MUSLIMS and CHRISTIANS worship the same God. "the POPE said the same thing last week and i support that statement but apparently the college doesn't."  stay tuned on this one.

JEB BUSH proved at the las vegas debate that he needs to drop out NOW before he's embarrassed any further. DONALD TRUMP chewed him up and spit him out and no matter what you think of trump, if that's the way bush reacts to pressure, he needs to say good-bye.  i'm amazed he has 3% in the polls.

The CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL system agreed to pay more than a quarter million dollars to eight teachers who were fired for becoming pregnant during the school year. the teachers will split $222,000 in compensatory damages and also receive their back pay.  worse yet, all 8 teachers were fired by the same principal at the same school.......and she's still employed.

and speaking of the CPS, the teachers have overwhelmingly voted to strike in the spring if negotiations continue to break down.  they needed 75% to strike and they got 96.  great news for MAYOR EMMANUEL who got his chops busted by the union the last time they walked out and already has a lot on his plate.

my head is now back to being a perfect vacuum.  adios for now.
