  1. These people:

    http://vanderburghgop.com/committeemen/precincts-and-pcs-7/

    will choose the new Republican Party candidate to run against Democrat Ben Shoulders for the District 1 County Commissioner seat in the general election this fall.

    Republican Dale McCuiston, who pulled out of the race after the filing deadline to do so, received over 18K votes in the Primary Election. That was 5K more votes than Democrat Ben Shoulders received.

    Who do you think they will pick?

    • Didn’t they already disobey the Parke/McClintock edict and choose Sean Selby over the Libertarian/Republican of choice, Rob Myers? Am I confused here?

      • Look at the date above Laura. It seems someone re posted that May 7th post. Also a lot of the posts below are stale. Looks as if CCO is having some IT problems.

  3. Will everyone PLEASE stand up for the animals, in particular Hank the great dane mix who was dragged behind a truck for 5 miles resulting in his death. Indiana animal cruelty laws MUST be refined and strengthened!!! Those who did this are not human. They are stupid, cruel, and beyond contempt. If you are asked to sign a petition to forward Indiana’s laws for animals please do so and pass it on. I am sickened that these people live in our area (or even live at all) and that they may have reproduced thus making another generation of their kind. Nothing on this site, no political garbage, no sneaky (snegal) operations, nothing is as sad or wrong as the treatment that Hank endured. And if you think that statement is not true, leash yourself to the back of one of these criminal’s pickups. Venom is in my heart and it will take a long time to bleed out. Please channel your anger to improve society as I am trying to do mine. We have to stand up to make a difference.

    • Animals are amazing creatures Martha, especially when you pay close enough attention to study them.

      Mountain goats walking across sheer cliffs have always amazed me because I just can’t figure out how they can do that and survive doing it.

      I never realized trees would be a piece of cake for them. But….

      • Pretty remarkable! All the more reason to protect all living things isn’t it. We have so much to learn and many do not even care. Such is their loss.

        • Very well said Martha and Regulator. People that abuse animals often abuse people. Most serial killers started after abusing and torturing animals when they were children or adolescents. These 2 idiotic morons, are just low life scum. They deserve what WILL happen to them in prison as only child abusers are treated worse that animal abusers.

        • Trump better make sure there aren’t any trees close to his Great Wall or these goats will jump right over and eat all the vegetables the Americans are picking.

          Right Martha?….

    • Hats off to you, Martha! Indiana is one of many states that need stronger laws concerning animal abuse. Is there a place where I can sign the petition?

      • This has been a long term project of mine and it never seems to get traction. Spoke with the local Rep and Sen in my district and was pretty much dismissed. After all, “something in this law was addressed last session” as if it made any improvement or couldn’t be addressed again. I have tried and will continue to attempt to work with the Indiana division of HSUS. Erin Huang is the director. Honestly, right now I am fixing up an old church out in the county. It will become our home and also a sanctuary for elderly, disabled, and abused dogs. All their care will be on us as well as their daily and vet expenses. This is taking all my strength and time ( not to mention money) now but as I get this done, I will pick up again on the legal changes that need to be made in Indiana.

        BTW, I am attempting to go on line and apply for federal and state tax exempt status but have had no time to pick that apart at all what with taking care of the dogs, cats and chickens and the home we have now, working with subs for bids, juggling the finances, etc . If anyone can suggest a cheep way to get this done to get it off my plate I would be eternally grateful.

        • You need 501 (c)(3) status. You can hire people on line to file for you or you can download the paperwork and do it yourself. It isn’t very complicated, and if you pay someone, you’ll be out about $400. Once the paperwork is filed you can begin operating with the non-profit status, even before it is approved. You need to get on social media and ask for people to help you with the hard work you’re doing yourself. You’ll be surprised how much help you will get. School is out, and there are a lot of young people who would like to do something to help you and your animals.

          • Yep, I know I need a 501c3 status and also a state of Indiana tax exempt designation. Also Legal Zoom will help with this. Just found them 2 days ago on line. Many people file for their own 501c3s. My head is just overwhelmed now with my spouse going through a health problem and several of my dogs being terminally ill all needing specialized care. My situation is more complicated than I was able to explain here so I do not think that volunteers will help me. I have volunteered for several local animal 501c3 organizations and that can be more of a hassle than it is a help unless you are set up to give them individual instructions on how to care for each animal and then be prepared to do their work when they do not show up. I will keep on plugging. I feel a bit further along each day. Today however the extreme fatigue associated with my MS is laying me low. Sorry for complaining. Thanks for your ideas Laura.

  4. Trumps first two wives were immigrants which proves immigrants will do jobs Americans don’t want

    • Immigrants do not mean illegals. Unless you an American Indian, we all came came from immigrants.

      • Thank you, Captain Obvious! We would have gone around thinking porn princess Melania was an illegal if you hadn’t clarified the definition of that there big three syllable word.

        • Actually, the “American Indian” is the decendent of immigrants too. These indiginous and aboriginal peoples didn’t arrive on tbe back of a giant black bird or come out of a hole in the ground. They’re descendants of the last successful immigration (pre-Columbian) to the North American and South American continents and Central American isthmus prior to the mass immigration from Western Europe.

    • Actually, it is his first and third wives who are immigrants. Wife number two was an American “Southern Belle” and pageant bimbo. He seems to be trading down with each marriage. Now he is married to a Slovenian soft porn princess.
      The people who criticized Michelle Obama for wearing sleeveless dresses have no problem with Melania’s nudie picks.

      • LKB, what do you have against Slovenians? I think you owe an apology to all Slovaks.

      • Comrade Elkaybee, I am gratified that you are waging Comrade Hillary’s War on Women so well. Dehumanizing them by referring to them as bimbos and porn princesses not only degrades them, it helps to justify Comrade Bill’s own continuing assault on women.

    • LOL!

      All he needs now is 55 million more votes of people a little more sophisticated and informed and he’s got it sewed up Martha.

      My guess is, Scalia can’t appoint this one….

  7. If the settlement amount in the Milan case is only between $60,000 and $100,000, something is truly amiss. The comments by the Appeals Court judge alone immortalized the incredible bad judgment on the part of EPD. Play acting for friendly TV cameras exposed the lack of training and commitment to public service on the part of the participating police officers who are sworn to protect us. It stands to reason that the FOP would try to perfect its covert partisan political activity. They have an image to rebuild, and they need friendlies in power. They could not tolerate Rev. Brooks remaining on the merit commission. I realize all officers are not the same, and many are true professionals, but the video of this “raid” needs to be replayed at every roll call.

    • I think those figures are lowball estimates for some of the needless and expensive appellate litigation Winnecke engaged in to put the inevitable off until after his reinstallation and at our expense.

    • Do these figures include the cash settlement Mrs. Milan received, or are they just the costs involved I settling the case? I certainly think she and her granddaughter should have gotten more than a measley $100,000.

      • You are so right, Comrade Elkaybee. Why, we have people in this city who took more public money than that, refused to pay it back, and then waltzed off, scott-free. If a common criminal practicing a little anticipatory communism can get so much, surely Mrs. Milan should get more. Besides, the Republicans who actually are the ones to pay a significant amount of taxes will be the ones on the hook.

    • There are plenty of mouth breathing knuckle-draggers to go around, JB. Many of the Trump supporters are just that, and they depend on sites like Breitbart for their pathetic misinformation.n The violence occurred when some of the Trump supporters came after the demonstrators, btw.

      • What are the alternatives being offered LKB?:

        1.) A pathological liar who has never accomplished anything other than ruining the lives of any woman who dared to speak out about her rapist husband? No Thanks.

        2.) Or this?:
        For those of you who have no clue about the Libertarian Party, its candidates, and its goals, I offer this C-Span video for educational purposes. I am not personally a fan of their party, but it is always instructive to hear what other people are thinking.

        It seems to me that this would be an expedited path to anarchy.

        • “I know what we’ll do….we’ll just post of bunch of unsubstantiated ignorant crap. We’ll win for sure!! Let’s say she killed JFK, it worked for Cruz! And tell you what…Get your neighbor to say some dumb ass crap about Libertarians, we’ll tape it, and then….we will say ‘this is what other people are thinking!!'”
          Reading posts like this “alternatives” comment…it’s like fodder for toothless, ignorant red neck savages, but…..if you graduated from high school….hell, even if you have a GED…..you realize the author is only panicked and desperate.

    • …….when you have a anti American commie community organizer in the lead the animals will feel embolden and run wild……………………that is what they do …………………….Trump………………2016……………

  9. THIS is RUSH LIMBAUGH talking about DONALD TRUMP on Friday’s radio show:

    “I’ll tell you what’s the big problem there: Trump does not believe in limited government. It’s not in his universe, and that’s why the Tea Party exists. The Tea Party exists to reduce the size of government, government spending, and Trump’s out there saying, “I’m not gonna cut Social Security. I don’t think we ought to! I don’t think we ought to even talk about cutting Social Security.”

    Will somebody please tell me how Trump is not a big government liberal?

    • He’s only going to be a big government liberal on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s Don.

      Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s he’s going to be a Tea Party conservative.

      Weekends are out of the question for any work or decisions made or performed. Nuclear decisions will even have to wait till Monday. But let’s hope they’re made on a Tuesday or Thursday instead.

      These are the things Paul Ryan and Mop Head are working out as we speak.

      The only thing holding up a final solution, is whose shrink they’re going to use to prove their unity.

      I don’t know why I thought of him when I first seen this but I did…..

  10. It is beginning to look like the only possibility for a good outcome from the November election is the indictment of Hillary. I don’t think that will happen, either. The Libertarian convention looks pretty nutty, but maybe the government won’t collapse under a four year term of Gary Johnson. It will under Clinton or Trump.

    • I got a kick out of this Libertarian’s response on Press’s link;

      MR. PETERSON

      PETERSON. MR. PETERSON: I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A WALL AROUND DONALD TRUMP AND MAKE BERNIE SANDERS PAY FOR IT.

      Them Libertarians like um or hate um, don’t mince many words….
