IT’S CHOOSING TIME FOR THE GOP
Making Sense by Michael Reagan
Maybe Joe took my advice.
I told a friend of the VP’s recently that he should not run for president in 2016 but instead should leave the political stage as an elder statesman.
No matter why Biden really decided to let Hillary Clinton have the Democrats’ presidential nomination without a fight, it’s great news for the GOP.
At least it should be.
In an ordinary election season, the GOP should be thrilled to pieces at the chance to duke it out with Hillary and the U-Haul load of dirty old political baggage she and her husband are always dragging around with them.
But this is no ordinary season. It’s the upside-down season of Donald Trump.
What Trump has done to hurt the GOP’s chances so far is enough to make a conspiratorialist think Hillary and Bill paid him to run as a Republican.
But I forgot. Trump is so rich no one has enough loot to buy him off, not even Bill and Hillary.
What Trump is doing to the GOP continues to amaze me.
It’s bad enough he has infected what’s left of the party’s conservative brand with his Democrat-lite ideas.
But one-by-one he’s been biting his fellow Republicans like a liberal attack dog — even ones he’s not running against.
As part of his nonstop bullying of Jeb Bush, Trump tried to make it seem Jeb’s big brother George W. was somehow responsible for the 9/11 attack on America.
It was a cheap shot that knocked Jeb off his message — a message no one is hearing anyway — and forced him to defend his brother.
Democrats have been unfairly blaming George W. for 9/11 — and everything else that’s gone wrong in the world — for eight years. So now Trump piles on?
GW could have done nothing to stop the attack, which occurred just nine months after he replaced Bill Clinton in the White House.
People like Trump forget that in 2001 the U.S. Senate wouldn’t allow GW to appoint a new CIA director or appoint other people he needed who could have given him better intelligence information.
On top of Trump’s stupid 9-11 statement, Dr. Ben Carson came out with an even dumber one.
The GOP’s Mister Rogers candidate said he would have brought Osama Bin Laden to justice in two weeks without going to war in Afghanistan.
He said he simply would have told the Saudis we were going to become oil independent.
That threat to their bottom line, he said, would have caused the Saudi’s to rush out and capture Osama and turn him over to us.
These are the two top-tier Republican people trying to become President of the U.S.?
Trump and Carson may say things in the primary that some want to hear.
But the most important question is, “Can they actually do what you want them to do if they win?â€
To be a successful president, even a conservative one, in the real world you have to work with members of Congress, not call them names.  Trump will never be able to work with anyone in Congress — on either side.
The GOP desperately needs to save itself from being Trumped.
With Hillary and her heavy baggage as the competition, Republicans and conservatives have been handed a great chance to win in 2016.
But they also have a great chance to absolutely blow winning 2016 if they don’t stop Trump, who could cinch the nomination as early as next march on Super Tuesday.
Despite its dysfunction, the GOP still has time to derail the Trump Express. It has a deep bench of conservative politicians and leaders from around the country.
But if they’re going to beat Hillary and prevent the GOP from becoming the next Whig Party, Republicans have to unite behind someone like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, John Kasich or Chris Christie.
They have to choose wisely — and they better do it fast.
Conservation Officer receives Master Instructor Certification
Indiana Conservation Officer Sergeant Bryan Knoy has achieved his Master Instructor Certification, the highest rating a Law Enforcement Instructor can achieve at the state level. He is the second Conservation Officer to be awarded this certification. To obtain this status, Sergeant Knoy first appeared before a board to petition to become a nominee. Once he was accepted into the program, he was then assigned a mentor to facilitate his progress. Sergeant Knoy then spent many hours completing instruction for basic police training, in-service training as well as instructor development.
After these tasks were completed, while showing a high level of competence, he then prepared a publishable research paper of a law enforcement topic. Sergeant Knoy chose to explore the Generational Theory and how it applies to law enforcement. His research paper, “Defining generations in law enforcement and ways to bridge the gapâ€, was very well received when presented to the reviewing board.  Sergeant Knoy then made an oral presentation to the Master Instructor Board consisting of law enforcement agency heads and other law enforcement training officers who are certified Master Instructors.
Sgt. Knoy currently serves as a Training Sergeant for the Law Enforcement Division of the Department of Natural Resources. He serves the Division out of his office at Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. “Sergeant Knoy’s accomplishment is the result of hard work and determination. I was extremely proud of him and his representation of our division.†stated Danny L. East, Director of Law Enforcement.
MVC Cross Country Championships set for Saturday in Evansville
UE to host conference championships this weekend
Â
The Missouri Valley Conference Cross Country Championships return to Evansville on Saturday as the ten league institutions make their way to Angel Mounds for Saturday’s meet.
Action gets underway on Saturday morning as the men take to the course for their 8K race at 10:30 a.m. before the women run their 5K race at 11:30 a.m. Admission is just $5.
In the Pre-Championship Polls, Bradley was picked to sweep the races. The Braves received five first place votes and a total of 77 points in the men’s race. Indiana State was picked second with three top votes and a total of 66 points. Wichita State took third in the poll.
On the women’s side, the Braves garnered nine out of ten first-place votes for a total of 99 points. Wichita State grabbed the other top vote and was chosen second with 87 points. Illinois State was third with 81.
Evansville is set to run its third home meet of the season. The Purple Aces began the season with the Early Bird Invite in September before running the UE Invitational on October 17. In that meet, Evansville’s women were paced by freshman Sienna Crews. Her 5K time of 18:56.0 was her best collegiate time, besting her previous mark set last time out at Louisville by almost three seconds. She came home in 18th place overall.
Second for UE was senior Elizabeth Kingshott with a final of 19:27. It was her best time of the season and put her 30th in the finishing order. Third across the line for the Aces was Michelle Karp. The sophomore has improved each and every week and set her PR for the fourth week in a row, running a 19:38.4. That topped her 19:52.97, which was Karp’s previous best that she ran two weeks ago in Louisville.
Ross Frondorf led the Aces men with a season-best time of 28:07.3 in the 8K race. He finished in 54th place out of 103 participants. Ben Woolems was next, running a 28:57.6 to come in 64th. Setting a new PR by 27 seconds was Paul Schwartz at 29:04.2. His old time of 29:31.2 was set at the Bradley Intercollegiate. Even more impressive has been his improvement as the season has gone along. His time on Saturday was 5 minutes and 12 seconds better than his first race at Angel Mounds in September.
Holly’s House Recipient of Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ohio Valley’s Grants Program
Holly’s House, 750 North Park Drive, Evansville, IN, will hold a special recognition ceremony on Wednesday, November 4th at 10:00 a.m. to recognize the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ohio Valley grant award supporting the growth of the “Child Sexual Abuse Medical Exam†program. This project will benefit children living in the Tri-State area, helping to extend the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ohio Valley’s mission to create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children.
Ronald McDonald House Charities has awarded Holly’s House $10,000 to support the expansion of the “Child Sexual Abuse Medical Exam†services which will allow sexually abused children to have an opportunity to receive a medical exam at Holly’s House which is coordinated with the completion of the child’s forensic interview. Since opening in 2008, over 3,500 children from nine Southwest Indiana Counties have received free services in the comfortable and safe setting at Holly’s House. Sidney Hardgrave, Holly’s House Executive Director says “The Sexual Abuse Medical Exam†program is an example of the high quality of care and compassion that Holly’s House offers our community’s children in order to support both their physical and emotional recovery from abuse. We are excited by this opportunity to partner with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ohio Valley, Inc. with our parallel efforts to provide a positive impact on the lives of children.â€
“Thanks to our local McDonald’s Owner/Operators sponsorship and the matched dollars from Ronald McDonald House Charities “Globalâ€, we are able to expand our reach through our Grants program. Together they allow us to impact the lives of children whose family may not necessarily have a need to stay at our Ronald McDonald House, but are still touched by our charity through our Grants program,†explained Theresa Floyd-Maas, Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ohio Valley Executive Director. “Their generosity allows us to partner with other area non-profits to continue to support our mission through their established programs and projects.â€
Holly’s House is a non-residential child and adult advocacy center providing services for victims of child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault in Southwest Indiana. The mission of the organization is to empower victims of intimate crime and abuse by providing support, promoting justice and preventing violence.
