Fidel would have been POTUS Hillary''s first nominee to the Supreme Court. Raul would have been her second.

All of the 11 and 12 year old kids in that lunchroom in Michigan were US citizens . . . including the brown ones who were the objects of the chanting.
Umm how do you know they are all US citizens including their parents? Just asking.

The Ohio State terrorist is just like so many before him. The media reports: "The attacker made long, bombastic posts on the internet praising ISIS, Allah, Muhammad and the Koran. He repeatedly called for an Islamic holy war against all non-Muslims, especially in the West. While he was busy killing innocent people, he was was widely reported as shouting "Allahu Akbar!" and "Death to America!"

Unfortunately, we will never know what motivated him to commit mass murder."

It hasn't rained hardly at all here for months until yesterday. So very dry everywhere. Yesterday after lunch it suddenly got windy as hell. 20-30 mph with 40+ gusts in the valley and 30-50 with 80+ in the mountains. It wasn't predicted which is why so many people were still there.

Fires grew big time and blew embers to start others. Then wind blew trees over onto power lines and sparks created more fires. So it kind of sprung up all around the winds got them to grow very quickly.

The GOP will control the state houses and legislatures in 30 states in 2017, and if Republicans want to use this new power they could do worse than look at the Wisconsin example. Governor Scott Walker’s reform of public union laws has transformed the state’s politics.

Mr. Walker’s 2011 reforms, known as Act 10, removed the ability of public unions to collectively bargain for benefits and required that unions be recertified every year by a majority of all members. The law ended the government’s role as the union’s automatic dues collector, and in 2015 Wisconsin also became a right-to-work state.

Given a choice for the first time, workers have left the union in droves. A recent analysis by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel found that since 2011 the state has seen the largest decline in the country in the concentration of union members in the workforce. By 2015 union members made up some 8.3% of workers in Wisconsin, down from 14.2% before Mr. Walker’s reforms. The Badger State has some 187,000 fewer union members than in 2005, and the Milwaukee Teachers’ Education Association has lost some 30% of its members.

From the reports I read, 11 people were hospitalized for injuries, but didn't see anything about anyone being killed. It's still bad, but I don't see why you feel the need to embellish the tragedy. Actually, yes I do...

I don't think it was a terrorist attack. Just a mentally disturbed individual.
