Does anyone have a news person that they trust to be a real journalist rather than an opinion? Who is the Tom Brokaw of today's news people? I watch 3 news outlets, MSNBC, Fox news and CNN and try to get a balanced idea, but it seems that they are all injecting their bias into their reporting. So far, Chris Wallace seems to be pretty good on Fox. I like Morning Joe on MSNBC, but haven't found anyone on CNN, although I am sure there is someone, or at least ...

Selling candy didn't raise much money last year, so a Goldsboro middle school is selling grades. A $20 donation to Rosewood Middle School will get a student 20 test points - 10 extra points on two tests of the student's choosing. That could raise a B to an A, or a failing grade to a D. Susie Shepherd, the principal, said a parent advisory council came up with the idea, and she endorsed it. She said the council was looking for a new way to raise money. "Last year they did cho ...

My President, Senator, House Rep, State reps elected and amendments all turned out for the best. Voted down that crazy voter ID and marriage amendment. I feel like I can breathe and sleep a little easier. ...

For some of the businesses and government agencies that surround President Trump’s “Winter White House,” the effects of his frequent weekend getaways to Mar-a-Lago can best be told in numbers. $200,000 in lost fuel sales at a large local airport in a single four-day visit this month. 75 no-shows at a new restaurant in just one night. $60,000 a day to pay overtime to sheriff’s deputies who guard the many closed roads, a tab that is about $1.5 million over all ...

Gov. Pat McCrory Sunday called the weekend firebombing of a North Carolina Republican headquarters “an attack on our democracy,” while one GOP official called it an act of “political terrorism.” Hillsborough police said somebody threw a bottle of flammable liquid threw the window at the Orange County GOP headquarters......

A family in my area needs a lot of prayers right now. A young woman (50) had a brain aneurysm last week and made it through surgery, but the family just received the MRI results that show this woman suffered a devastating brain injury. Things were hopeful as her body had started working on its own so they took her off the paralytics and sedatives, but her brain was terribly injured. The family is going to donate her organs, but said the process of her passing could take several days. Mir ...

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north lat ...

I was bored and decided to look into this article I heard discussed on a talk show this morning. Be sure to read the comments section(s) and click on her name at the top of the article for even more articles. lol http://avon-oh.patch.com/blog_posts/animals-cant-talk PS - I've already reported this post to try to get it moved to the Comedy Stop board, so I'm way ahead of you there. ...

A few days ago our volunteer coordinator at our local animal shelter sent out an email informing us of a new program to help the dogs. I wanted to share this with everyone, and maybe if your shelters don't offer it, you could suggest it. The program is called Dog's Day Out. Any volunteer at our shelter who is a dog walker (must show up regularly) and has had at least one year experience at doing so, may now take a dog out of the shelter for an entire day. If enough people take adva ...

The election? If I didn't know better, I wouldn't even know there was anything important going on with the election. Luckily, I get my news from other sources. But just out of curiosity, I checked my local paper and news station, and not a peep about the WikiLeaks, though a small negative story about Trump was covered. What about those that use the newspaper as their only source, or believe the 6:00 news is all there is, how will they make an informed decision if they ...

said the cuts to physicians will be 40% by 2016. Not 2014. So all the young "folks" can have baby after baby every year by different baby daddies and get the wanna be future hooligans on Medicaid. This really stinks. ...

Gosh, I cannot understand why they have to spend so much money on elections. The thing is that if these candidates just stated their opinions and were honest with all of us, they'd get elected and re-elected. To me, this is a sick game politics and the whole issue of the problems in our country are not being addressed rationally and with any common sense. I think they need to educate kids on common sense in schools or otherwise we are going to have a bunch of really dumb kids who will repe ...

in the name of budget management. HB 4214 passed yesterday. Dissolve local governments, fire elected officials, commandeer civil services and give them to for-profit firms. Is this was democracy looks like to you? Really? Michigan Governor Seeks Emergency Powers The governor of Michigan is trying to force through the legislature a bill that would establish emergency rule, LITERALLY. Gov. Snyder is seeking emergency powers that would enable him to 1) unilaterally declare ...

Progressive push-back against SCOTUS campaign finance decision is a sight to behold. The New York law firm prominently visible in the ad wisely chose their notoroius spokesperson to push for environmental law reform while attorneys quietly prosecute personal injury claims in the background. They managed to do this with 15-second cost effectiveness and hit the ground running with a near instantaneous response to the birth of corporate freedom of speech. Holy ...

When Donald Trump jets off to Florida just the flight costs taxpayers 3 million dollars but it is also hurting local businesses. Roads are closed, local airports are closed and customers can't get to businesses. Some of said that if this continues every weekend they will go out of business. Way to make America great again. ...

There has been a lot of discussion on this board about raising the minimum wage to $15.00 and I have been very vocal about being in favor of this. I have listened to how the prices of everything will go up, they do anyway. Think of gas prices. Just mention the word hurricane or bad weather and even before a hurricane forms they are raising the prices of gas. Just talk about cold weather hitting Florida and orange juice goes through the roof. So they will raise prices regardless. But my main reas ...

Has this happened to anyone else? No offense, but I could not care less what is going on Greenwich, CT (the local news location now appearing on my news page). I tried adding my town multiple times, but it did not take. I also added Greenwich, CT, and then deleted it, but it's still there. ...

I don't know what's going on in my dictation, but if I had to take a wild guess, I'd say the dictator is getting down and dirty with someone... hmm. I mean it's hard enough to understand him, but the hesitations, the um, um, um's, grunting and huffing and muffled extra voice is making it harder! (no pun intended!!) ...

30K dead voters registered in the state of North Carolina. Good thing we want to get rid of photo ID to vote. I'd hate to discriminate against the DEAD people who are voting at elections. There is obvious proof of voter fraud and yet it is amazing people can't see that. 30K in ONE STATE!!!! ...

A woman opened her refrigerator door and to her surprise, there sat a big white rabbit. "What are you doing in there?" she cried. The rabbit looked from side to side, and then asked, "Isn't this a Westinghouse?" "Actually, yes, it is" the woman responded. "Well, I'm a westing," said the rabbit. ...

this morning, total Trump supporter, high school acquaintance, said that liberals don't own pets, only Republicans. Said liberals had no compassion and wouldn't take care of an animal. Alternative facts and universe. You Trump fans don't believe this, do you? ...

New York Mayor Bill DiBlasio is providing city workers with counseling - yes, counseling for those who are upset about the Trump win. I didn't realize city workers were snowflakes too. How pitiful. Link ...

Guess the cop should have stood by and watched until this TERRORIST who was living off the taxpayer got too tired to slash any more students. I wonder what the students that were injured feel about this. This is one of the most outrageous things I've ever heard! Total racist, sick group! The Ohio State University student who allegedly ran over several students and stabbed others to defend Islam should not have been shot by police before he could hu ...
