Being friday makes a difference if you still have……a job.
Being retired means I have nothing to do and all day to tell you about it.
A few McDonald’s employees and a whole lot of union thugs staged protests yesterday in 150 cities including ours.
This intersection is at North Central and Auburn St. I went to high school at auburn High,just down the street and the BP gas station in the background has been closed three times for drug activity.The restaurant is one block from a county housing complex.It was a really nice neighborhood back in the 1960’s,but its decayed completely.
9 fast-food wage protesters arrested in Rockford
Twenty-five people blocked eastbound traffic on Auburn Street for nearly four hours. The nine who were arrested had refused orders from Rockford police officers to get off the road; instead, they sat on the pavement.
No one was injured.
Chief Chet Epperson said police decided to clear the road before 3 p.m. because of rush-hour traffic and school dismissals.

I think this is the same kind of thing that the Feds just prosecuted Bob McDonnell for. Except it didn’t seem quite so blatant for McDonnell. Prosecution of Emmanuel to begin in……..Don’t hold your breath.

‘Frustration and confusion’ among US troops over mixed message on ISIS
Biden on Wednesday delivered what was probably the toughest statement to date from the administration, declaring, after another U.S. journalist was beheaded by the Islamic State, “we will follow them to the gates of Hell until they are brought to justice.”
The source relayed the complaint of an unnamed special operator: “Chase them to the Gates of Hell? How the [f—] are we going to do that when we can’t even leave the front gate of our base!?”

Imagine people willing to die for their faith.

Court to hear Landrieu residency challenge
Louisiana political observers don’t expect the challenge to go very far, however. The judge assigned to the case, Wilson Fields, is a former Democratic state senator. The Landrieu political dynasty goes back to the senator’s popular father and his tenure as mayor of New Orleans, making it unlikely that questioning Landrieu’s Louisiana ties will stick.

BREAKING: Mary Landrieu Lists Washington DC Mansion As Home Address On Voter Registration
Landrieu asserts that she still lives with her parents though, saying “I have lived at my home on Prieur Street most of my life and I live there now, when not fulfilling my duties in Washington or serving constituents across the state.”
Landrieu has a $2.5 million home in Washington DC with her husband Frank Snellings that the two built together.
But, on her voter registration card, Landrieu lists Washington DC as her primary residence.
In a report by the Washington Post, the Moon and Verna’s neighbors say they haven’t seen Mary in years
She plans to show a letter from Publishers Clearing House as proof she still flops in Loozeeanna.

I just don’t know what to think about this. It’s sad – I know that much. But I really have no affection for Bob McDonnell. I voted for him – what other choice did I have? But he was even more disappointing than I had thought he would be – even without all of this.
I just can’t see how the company, StarScientific, really benefited from the relationship. I understand that the jury was not allowed to be informed that the Fed’s “star” witness had made a plea deal to testify in order to avoid being prosecuted for securities fraud. I think that was important. I didn’t follow the whole thing a closely as most people in Richmond – it just depressed me too much, and I had other things to think about. I sure was glad that didn’t have to serve on that jury. I was part of the group that was “on call”.

Bengals Re-Sign Defensive Tackle Cut Last Week to Practice Squad To Help Him Pay For Daughter’s Cancer Treatments
The Cincinnati Bengals made arguably their greatest move of the season this week.
The Bengals re-signed defensive tackle Devon Still to their practice squad Sunday to help him pay for his 4-year-old daughter’s cancer treatments. He was waived by the team last Saturday.
Still learned back in June that his daughter, Leah, has stage-four pediatric cancer
I’ve been a Chicago Bears fan my whole life.Now I’m rooting for the Bengals as well.
