New York City School Calls girl Fat

The School District in New York City is combating Obesity.  They are doing fitness exams and sending home notes with students to let the parents know if their child is fat.  Well that all sounds good in theory.  However there seems to be a disconnect.  They told the girl pictured below she is overweight!!!! Just take one look and you know there is a problem. 


I think anyone with a brain in their head can tell this girl is not overweight.  4'1" and weighing 66 pounds is an issue? 

Harley Davidson's PR Problem

David Zien, former lawmaker in Wisconsin well known for riding his old Harley over 1 million miles is claiming that Harley is refusing to honor the warranty on his new bike because he flew too many flags behind it.  Mr. Zien says the bike broke down with transmission problems and Harley is blaming the flags and not fixing it.

This seems pretty simple for Harley Davidson.  Technically the company may be right.  Legally they may be able to walk away from fixing the transmission.  But, and this is a very BIG But.  Is all the bad press really worth it?

I am an avid rider myself.  I own a Harley.  I can tell you that I have heard the story being talked about on local radio stations, local news and today I even read about it in the National News.  Is this what Harley Davidson wants people talking about when they talk about Harleys?  I would think not.  If I was in a position of authority for Harley, I would be front and center getting this bike fixed ASAP and make a big deal of it.  I would definitely want the Narrative of this conversation changed quickly.

Milwaukee Brewer Carlos Gomez Proves He is one of the Good Guys

From the JSOnline -

Atlanta - Because of his home-run incident involving former Braves catcher Brian McCann last year at Turner Field, Brewers centerfielder Carlos Gomez has been getting booed by Atlanta fans during the first two games of the series between the clubs here.
I wonder if Braves fans would boo Gomez tonight if they knew what he did today.
Gomez posted these tweets on Twitter this morning:
"Just went to see the young fan that was hit by my foul ball last night. He was in great spirits and I had a chance to sign the ball."
"You don't like to see anyone get hurt, especially a child. Fans, please be alert and bring your glove!"
Batting in the seventh inning Tuesday night of the Brewers' 5-0 loss to the Braves, Gomez fouled off a pitch from Julio Teheran that carried on a line over the Atlanta dugout and into the stands, striking a young boy.
Teheran and Gomez were visibly upset about the boy getting struck, each crouching down in distress with hopes that he'd be OK. The boy was carried off quickly so it was difficult to tell exactly what happened, but he appeared to have been struck on the face.
Obviously, Gomez felt so bad about the incident that he tracked down the young fan today -- which probably took some doing -- and visited him to make sure he is OK. That is an act of kindness that can only come from the player's heart.

Milwaukee's Crime Problem

Milwaukee has a crime problem and they just don't seem to know what to do.

It seems like pretty much every night at 10 you turn on the news and hear about someone being shot in the city of Milwaukee. 

I know the Mayor and the Milwaukee County Executive talk repeatedly about their drive to cut back on crime and in particular gun violence.  There was even a "Cease Fire Week" in the city a week or so ago and that was a drive to cut back on gun violence.  How did that work out?  Well it was a deadly week of shootings and gun violence.  In one incident an 11 year old was injured in crossfire. 

I am sure their idea of cutting back on Sheriff's Deputies and Police Officers is a step in the right direction of curbing violence.

I really doubt the fact that in Milwaukee the economy is a mess and unemployment is high has anything to do with all of this. 

I had a great idea for curbing the violence in the City and County of Milwaukee.  I think under my plan we can see results rather quickly and put a big dent in not only the crime problem, but the economy and unemployment.  Ready for my plan? It isn't that difficult.

NEW LEADERSHIP!!!!!

Obama's VA Scandal

Here we go again.  Another major scandal come crashing down on the Obama Administration.  Of course the responses from the White House are almost the same as in every other scandal.  The President is mad, nobody is madder than him.  The President will push until we get to the bottom of this.  

But of course he isn't mad enough to fire the people in charge.  Just like he didn't fire Clinton for Benghazi, Lois Lerner for the IRS.  I am quite certain he is hoping just like those scandals that the press will quit worrying about it in a week or so.  Then he will say it is just the Republicans fabricating it.  

When will everyone hold this man accountable?  When will we drop the hammer on him?  It isn't like he hasn't proven time and time again his inept leadership skills.  He has been engulfed in one problem after another. Somehow he has escaped each one by pushing off the blame.  He hasn't taken any responsibility and the media has given him a pass.  It is sad that it has taken this long for the American people to finally see him for what he is.  His numbers are continuing to fall in the polls.  The saddest part of this, there are hardcore Dems who just blindly support him.  No matter what he does they support him.  It is as if they don't have a brain in their heads.  They can't think for themselves or have any common sense.  

Now we will watch as yet another major issue plagues this President and watch to see how he will wiggle his way out of this one.

VA Health Problem Precursor to How Obamcare will work

For all the talking heads out there on the left who believe Obamacare is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and all the criticism is unfounded and just partisan politics.

Well.  Just take a look at everything going on with the VA Medical system.  Need we say more?
