   Jeff, and you are OK with Obama lying about everything being OK in the middle east to help him win re-election?

   No, but what president doesn’t do that? The previous president lied/stretched the truth so we could start a war there in the first place…..sooo…….

   Good Morning Everyone

   This headline speaks for itself

   *ABC Gives Sen. Menendez Six Minute Interview With No Questions About FBI’s Hooker Investigation

   On Friday it was revealed that the FBI is investigating Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) for allegedly sleeping with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic.

   Despite this, when Menendez was given a six-minute interview with Martha Raddatz on ABC’s This Week Sunday, he was not asked one question about the investigation or the allegations

   My former profession simply disgusts me anymore.

   Morning Coffee & others. While I’m still above ground , I wasn’t so sure I would be . I haven’t been that sick since the 80′s . Before my temp broke, I was hallucinating, but, except for a residual cough , I’m back to my ornery self.

   ——————

   There is so much important news out there for me to catch up on , like immigration reform, but I posting this because it’s my bug-a-boo, & , because I can.

   This is quite an honor (sarcasm intended)

   New York teacher thrown out of class for sexually harassing students is paid $1 million for doing NOTHING

   He only worked as a full-time teacher in New York for a year before he was suspended from the classroom for sexually harassing students, but that didn’t stop Aryeh Eller from collecting almost $1 million from the district over the last 13 years for doing practically nothing. An example, Aryeh Eller said to a student, ‘God bless, you have a nice ass,’ after asking her to lift her shirt and show off her butt.

   Eller earned tenure after the board failed to investigate complaints in 1998.

   He ended up in a sort of ‘holding room’ for the last decade as the Department of Education decided he was unfit for teaching.

   In that time, he’s collected $943,000 plus health and pension benefits and this year he’ll hit the $1 million mark.

   He even saw his salary increase to $85,000 because of automatic longevity increases under his teacher’s contract.

   The city attempted to fire him in 2000 but the case was thrown out.

   ‘Sometimes arbitrators make bad decisions,’ said DOE spokeswoman Connie Pankratz.

   As it stands he can’t be fired but can’t teach either.

   Ah, Faith3, those trusty arbitrators & the supposedly closed rubber rooms.

   Eller, along with four others deemed too dangerous for teaching but who can’t be fired, makes up to $100,000 a year doing data entry, answering phones, and doing routine paperwork.

   Other teachers who’ve been in similar situations have collected checks even beyond retirement age.

   Eller did not respond to interview requests

   @cathy

   When President Obama merely speaks, you hear lies…..you say I’m uneducated, that in itself is an uneducated remark coming from a person that supports parties and groups who hate “them there college educated folk”

   He lied about the Middle East to win re election…. That’s delusional!
   He lied about “everything” to win re election is an “uneducated” remark.

   I posted my opinion about assault weapons, shared by a growing majority. You don’t have to accept it…. That’s your problem, not mine.

   Good Morning

   Based on the news dominoes of the past 10 years, I think the “press” has crossed the line of no return. Too much money and special interest in the News Corps anymore. They are run not by news people anymore with any integrity. It’s all agenda based now.

   @d.d.
   Good Morning to you and Mr Jeff

   On the teacher thing, thats becoming common place anymore around the country, and they aren’t going to be able to change anything for 4-5 years d.d.. The system at this point is in place with no hope of changing those rules.

    @LetMeThink

    I think its mainly ideology driven, its not so much Government pressure because most of the people running the news organizations are ideology the same.

    The problem with todays media is its not so much what they report, its what they don’t report. If Elected officials in power feel there is no pressure to be held accountable, they are human, that take advantage of that and run wild.

    Example is the off shore accounts bypassing tax codes, they scream and pass laws preventing the public from using therm with fines and threats of jail time, yet I’d venture to say 90% of congress bypasses many tax laws, but whose out there that will report them?

    Another is that law that said congress members should not be able to use info on stock trading to their advantage, they usually get info far in advance of us when they see trouble coming they are not supposed to dump their stocks. Uh Huh, anyone think the press will check into this insider trading pratice of congress?

    Yes the should not be able to pass laws for us that do not follow. Without a watchdog media as Ratboy always says. “We are sc$&@)(;:/d”

    @Ratboy & USNRetiredx2

    Many reports that a nuclear facility in Iran was almost completely destroyed a few days ago, ala just like the one in Syria a few years ago, hardly a peep about it

    Iran denies of course it but funny thing, the roads leading in and out of that area are shut down. Also, Israel did not have a bunker buster bomb that could go that deep, but the USA does, so I wonder if maybe they got there hands on one or even figured out how ot build one? Either way If Israel in fact has them now Iran may all of a sudden play nicer LOL

    Coffee Dude, We ahve one of the BIGGEST foreign policy messes going on in history! Everyone is slobbering all over Hillary but here is the truth. She went everywhere often and logged over a million miles but accomplished next to NOTHING!! Our relationships are not stronger, Iran still continues to make progress, Egypt is a MESS, Al Qaeda is strong and getting stronger (I dont buy the drones are killing the leaders so they are losing steam BS)the State Department is in dissaray and one hand does not know what the other hand is doing. The D’s have to slobber all over here to keep her hope alive for 2016 and that is why Obama went on 60 min last night with her, to pay her back for her and Bill’s help.
    Her tenure was a failure! But the media has started the job of making her sound like the second coming.

    And for jeffie and usa888 and the rest of the loons, this is not FOX talking! This is facts talking!!

    As I said last week, when Hillary stood in front of those caskets and blamed a video for their deaths, I lost all respect for her and would never supports her even running a McDonalds in the future.
