The Atlantic looked at height and income and found some correlations. This used to make more sense when jobs were labor based and required a larger, stronger man to do them. But even in today’s economy it holds true. Why? Well, read on... -Fox News

What about his Senate seat? – Drama is growing around the race for Rubio’s Florida Senate seat. The Republican side has current Lt.Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera, who is taking a page from Jeb Bush and focusing efforts on his super PAC. On the Democratic side, mercurial trial lawyer Alan Grayson is threatening to run, making party elders nervous about that seat and his potential for national embarrassment. -Fox News

A FAINTING GOAT HAS GOT TO BE PRETTY EASY TO STEAL
Folks in two North Carolina counties are on the lookout for the next goat-grab. Over the past year an estimated $1,750 worth of goats have been snatched – seven goats stolen in the last two months. The Hickory Record reports that last week the Weaver family, who’ve been raising fainting goats for two generations, discovered thatNanny-Bell and Star-Bell were the latest victims. “[Friday morning] Gail Weaver…went out to discover that Nanny-Bell had kidded during the night and the brand-new goat seemed to be healthy. But the mother was nowhere to be found. The Weavers checked all over their property thinking Nanny-Bell may have defied her mothering instinct…And then they saw that Star-Bell was missing too. “I knew she wouldn’t leave that baby,” Eric Weaver said. ‘I knew someone had to have taken her.’… Weaver is friendly and he has a gentle demeanor. But he’s hurt and angry….‘I just wish I’d seen someone climbing over my fence that night.’ [he said] ‘I keep a double-barreled shotgun loaded with double-aught buckshot right beside the bed. I wouldn’t shoot to kill, but I’d sure have burnt their hind-ends up.’”

GOP GETS DOWN TO BUSINESS WITH DEBATES
The first debate of the 2012 presidential cycle was held on May 5, 2011 with five participants, only one of whom was an elected official, Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas. Only two on the stage, Paul and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, would still be in the race by the time of the Iowa Caucuses.
The first presidential debate of the 2016 cycle will be held on Aug. 6 and will likely include at least three sitting senators and two sitting governors, and quite possibly more of both. The non-office holders in the top flight are clouty, too. The average polling share for the participants in the debate four years ago was less than 4 percent. Now, the average for the top 10 candidates and crypto-candidates is more than double that.
Republicans were right that their 2012 nominating process was too long and too damaging to their already disadvantaged eventual nominee. But their problem in 2016 is the opposite. Rather than having too few candidates, they have too many. That was a cycle in which many Republicans contemplated nominating a reality show host. This is a cycle in which the two-term governor of a state with a population of 10 million couldn’t make a ripple in the pond.
As Hilly Clinton starts building out her swing-state operation and assembling a war chest that would make Suleiman I blush, the Republicans lack a clear frontrunner and are poised instead to set off this fall what promises to be a very bloody, very costly period of civil strife. It might have made sense for Republicans to have done for Mitt Romney what Democrats are doing with their own fragile frontrunner this cycle and have carried him on a stretcher to the convention. This time, though, the party still has to find out who the real frontrunners are.
The first debate is 11 weeks from today. The Iowa Caucuses are six months after the first debate. There is no guarantee that the Iowa winner or the eventual nominee will be on the stage when the Fox News team first grills the frontrunners.
Moreover, there’s no guarantee that the best candidate for president will be on the debate stage – or is even in the race. (Most Americans of both parties probably think that someone outside of politics would make a better president than anyone who is running.) But Americans do not select their presidents based on merit but rather by contested elections. To lead the government you have to win a hard, complicated, expensive game. And now the game is afoot.

Dan Joseph Interviews Hillary Clinton
(http://theconservativetreehouse.com/) - At first Mrs. Clinton was reluctant to talk. But once she opened up she shared some very revealing things about her deleted e-mails, her marriage, her relationship with President nObama and what a Hilly presidency would be like...

Atty General Loretta Lynch Returns To Scene Of Her Crime
(rickwells.us) - It didn’t take long for Attorney General Loretta Lynch to return to her bankster-rewarding roots. Just as she failed to indict criminals involved with money-laundering and racketeering with HSBC, she’s just let five of the largest banks in the nation off with a similar slap on the financial wrist... As Greta Van Susteren notes, if any non-elite American citizen were to do what these super-wealthy bank executives have done, they would be facing serious prison terms. Justice isn’t blind in America, and she can hear that money jingling in your pockets as well. Van Susteren describes it as the American people getting rolled, and she’s outraged. Lynch proves once again, just as in her testimony during her pointless confirmation hearings; the rule of law doesn’t matter anymore. Laws are merely suggestions, to be applied subjectively based upon who you are, who you know, your political affiliations and your wealth. http://rickwells.us/atty-general-loretta-lynch-returns-to-scene-of-her-crime-rewards-crooked-banksters-with-no-jail/

“What Did Hilly Clinton Accomplish As Secretary Of State?
(rickwells.us) - Some might consider it to be an unfair or unanswerable question, to ask what Hillary Clinton’s accomplishments were as Secretary of State... There were no positives but she does have some achievements. She was able to succeed in converting Libya into a chaotic terrorist breeding ground, getting four Americans killed in the process. She managed to fill her foundation’s coffers with untold wealth. She boldly went where none had gone before in terms of document theft, compromising America’s national security in the process through an open security portal to our enemies. She elevated the Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorist organizations to positions within the government and levels of access and cooperation that they had never before achieved. He intimate friend, aide and Muslim Brotherhood insider Huma Abedin had unfettered access to the most sensitive information. All of these are unprecedented and would have been unimaginable for an American official prior to Clinton’s tenure. None of those achievements, as noteworthy as they are, came to mind for these panelists. They were searching desperately for something positive for our nation. That’s a much tougher assignment. http://rickwells.us/empty-silence-is-the-answer-what-did-hillary-clinton-accomplish-as-secretary-of-state-the-question/

McCaul: White House ISIS Strategy Not A 'Serious Attempt To Win'
(nicedeb.wordpress.com) - Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, is calling on the nObama administration to come up with a “more aggressive strategy” to deal with ISIS/Daesh in Iraq... The apocalyptic terrorists now control the “key, strategic” city of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar Province. “The black flags are flying there,” McCaul told Fox News Wednesday morning. “This is a key transit point to Syria in Iraq, and now it’s fallen to ISIS.” McCaul said that during his recent visit to Baghdad, Iraq’s prime minister told him after asking the White House for more military assistance, he has only received received humanitarian assistance. Whatever that means. Suitcases for impromptu road trips? Extra absorbent towels to wipe up the blood? https://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2015/05/20/as-isis-seizes-ramadi-and-palmyra-obama-fights-manbearpig-video/

Bin Laden Document Dump An nObama Attempt To Divert Attention
(rickwells.us) - Colonel Ralph Peters isn’t fooled by the convenient timing of the Bin Laden document dump, noting that it comes as Ramadi is falling to the ISIS barbarians, saying that there gime is “reverting to their one foreign policy win in six and a half years” as a diversion from the rest of their pathetic record... including the current situation. He characterizes the administration as being in denial and struggling desperately to show that it’s keeping us more secure in the face of no evidence to support those claims. Peters says the nObama administration is focused on the wrong thing, with everything based upon the false pretense that the Humpty Dumpty Iraq can be put back together. He says, “Iraq’s over, it’s dead, it’s finished. And as a result of that we’re not focused on what we should be focusing on which is killing Islamic State militants wherever we can find them.” http://rickwells.us/col-ralph-peters-bin-laden-document-dump-an-obama-attempt-to-divert-attention-from-ramadi/

ISIS ISSUES NEW CHILLING THREAT TO AMERICANS
(teapartypolitics.com) - The attack on the “Draw Mohammed” convention in Garland Texas a few weeks ago was in retaliation to our unique ability to speak as we please here in the U.S. Not something the Islamic group ISIS is fond of... Which is why two thugs associated with the terrorist state attempted to level their perverted sense of justice. They must have forgotten they were in Texas, where the average citizen is born with a .45 in their hand. After being put down by a police officer, ISIS was forced to come to terms with their failure. Now they’re saying they’re going to come after Texas (and the rest of America) and their next attack will be
devastating. “Don’t mess with Texas…or the rest of the U.S.”

ISIS rides the Istanbul Metro in Turkey
(themuslimissue.wordpress.com) - When you got a leader like Recep Tayyip Erdoğan prepping you up to expand the Caliphate, you have no worries to openly displaying your support (or membership) of Isis... That’s what these two young men did in Turkey, who even display their Isis emblems openly while riding on the public transport amongst tourists and locals. They could very well be terrorists. They keep checking their shiny kafir-produced expensive cellphones, probably wanting to know how many bombs went off that day. NATO member Turkey acts as a safe haven for ISIS allowing them entry into Syria for the removal of “infidel” Assad who doesn’t follow the right version of Islam to be appealing to his Sunni neighbours. https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2015/05/21/video-isis-supporters-ride-the-public-transport-in-turkey/

Cut State Depart Funding To Persuade Cooperate On Benghazi
(rickwells.us) - In the face of endless stalling and a complete lack of cooperation by the executive branch into the House investigation of the events surrounding the Benghazi attack, House Republicans seem to be realistically considering actually using their constitutional power of the purse to force the administration to cooperate... The target of their withholding of appropriations would be the State Department, the chief offender in the Benghazi cover-up. Rep Kay Granger of Texas, the chairwoman of the House Appropriations subcommittee which oversees State Department funding and foreign aid said, “There’s a discussion. We haven’t come to a conclusion yet,” without being more specific, while indicating that the national security interests of the U.S. and our allies would be not be negatively impacted as a result. The Hill reported that likely targets would include less critical offices, such as the Legislative Affairs and Public Affairs and the Office of the Secretary. Embassy security would not be affected. http://rickwells.us/republicans-may-cut-state-department-funding-to-persuade-regime-to-cooperate-on-benghazi/

What Does Blumenthal Know About nObama?
(Cliff Kincaid) - It appears that Hilly Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal has a network of military and intelligence connections that made him anathema to the nObama White House... Blumenthal must know something about nObama that kept him from getting a State Department job under Hilly. Congress has the power to compel Blumenthal to testify in public about how he collected intelligence information on nObama and other matters for the use of Mrs. Clinton, before and during the time she was Secretary of State. http://www.aim.org/aim-column/what-does-blumenthal-know-about-obama/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email052115&utm_medium=email

The Media Cannot Shield Hilly, JW Tenacious Digging into Her Lies
(Kevin Collins) - It comes as no surprise that Hilly Clinton is a liar; everything about her is fake. What is new about her is that she has filled the public arena with so many lies that they can no longer be covered up by the sycophantic media... Through the tenacious work of Judicialwatch.com over 100 pages of documents that were heretofore classified as “secret” by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the State Department have been forced into the light of day and none of them is helpful to Hilly. Here are some of her lies that have been unmasked by Judicial Watch. http://www.coachisright.com/the-media-cannot-shield-hillary-from-judicial-watch-tenacious-digging-into-her-lies/

I’m not sure if I called him a fool or only thought it, but I did point out to him that justice is justice, and doesn’t require any adjectives. In fact, once you begin to modify it, you’re perverting its meaning. The ideal, I explained, was one set of rules for rich and poor, black and white, men and women, young and old, liberals and conservatives, Muslims and Christians.

This pandering to the vandals has been going on for some time, and it is only getting worse. As destructive as so-called social justice is to America, you will notice that it is only employed when the presumed victim is black. In the same way, only whites are prosecuted for hate crimes, although blacks are far likelier to target their victims specifically because they happen to be Caucasians.

Theoretically, every defendant in America is presumed innocent. But thanks to liberals and their corrupt cohorts in the media, cops are the exception. Even if no charges have been leveled, be it in L.A., Ferguson, Staten Island or Baltimore, the folks who risk their lives to safeguard our own are always presumed guilty.

♦ A reader insisted that, contrary to what I wrote in a recent piece, politicians and bureaucrats rarely say “I take full responsibility.” I corrected her, pointing out that they actually utter those words every time they’re discovered causing mischief. The problem is that in the old days, those four words were a prelude to a resignation or an indictment. Today, the miscreants say it the way a cop at the scene of an accident says, “Nothing to see here. Now let’s move along.”

Speaking of which, I couldn’t believe the idiots who, like Bill O’Reilly, said that the group should never have sponsored such a provocative event. Fortunately, O’Reilly’s Fox colleague, Megyn Kelly, reminded him that this is still America. Thanks to the First Amendment, we still have the right to ridicule everyone and everything – and that certainly includes the pedophile who founded Islam, the very same religion that 1,400 years later is encouraging its savage followers to burn, behead and crucify, non-believers. So, thanks all the same, Bill, but neither I nor America really needs a schmoe like you to look out for us.

♦ Some teams seem predestined. For instance, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were mediocre silent screen comedians until Hal Roach saw something in them that, if combined, would be magical. Ginger Rogers had been in a series of lousy, low budget, RKO films for years before Fred Astaire came along and danced “The Continental” with her in “Flying Down to Rio.” Astaire, himself, had already been dismissed by a studio executive as looking like a whippet who could dance a little. But once they became Astaire and Rogers, it was said that he gave her class and she gave him sex appeal, and, together, they provided us with four or five of the most charming musicals ever produced.
