"YOU"LL NEVER KNOW" platters
You" ll never know the torch I bear
You"ll never know it, for I won't show it
It's getting to be the beginning of the charitable season for our city council to extort money for the Downtown Painesville Organization from the resident's of Painesville to finance their friend's pet projects!
You know most of them along with my favorite acronym the DPO, Downtown Painesville Organization
This year this organization will be gifted to the amount of $28,000.
All with a stroke of a pen at the budget meeting.
As a resident I wonder where the oversight is? So I wish someone on council would ask a few questions, not to embarrass friends but to see if you are responsible with city funds?
QUESTIONS;
BOARD ORIENTATION & EDUCATION
Does the board conduct a formal orientation for new board members and require all board members to sign a written agreement regarding their roles, responsibilities, and expectations?
CEO OVERSIGHT
Has the board conducted a formal, written assessment of the chief executive within the past year.
ETHICS & TRANSPARENCY
Have the board and senior staff reviewed the conflict-of-interest policy and completed signed disclosure statements in the past year?
BOARD PERFORMANCE
Has the board conducted a formal, written self-assessment of its performance within the past three years?
Has the board conducted a formal , written self-assessment of finances within the past three years?
Am I asking to much for $28,000.00 ? I don't believe they are unreasonable questions.
AS far as the questions those came from the DPO homepage. ( can't take credit) although beside all of the questions:
RESPONSE NOT PROVIDED
I'm curious about the Friday Night Car Show? Who sponsors it and how much as well as what happens to the 50/50 raffle proceeds?
My only hope is that someone on council takes the initiative to ask, don't be shy. Blame me!
Next you are the patron saints of the Senior Center. You should ask pretty much the same questions.
Knowing our council they will write the check with not so much as a reach-around! Hey, it's ATM.
On Monday night at 9:00 pm it is being reported that Wednesday Candidate Trump will present his Immigration policy, A lot can happen between now and Wednesday!
He's picked up a new nickname #Amnesty Don, which I believe is very unfair.
His new nickname should be #Amnesia Don! He for some strange reason he has forgotten the promises what put him where he presently is.

#Amnesty Don?! Obama just let in 10,000 more Syrian refugees. Every country knows, including Germany, that ISIS and terrorists are infiltrating all over the world in these refugees. No way did 10,000 Syrian refugees get vetted at all. I wonder if we even know their real names. And they are almost all Sunni's, which is the group most aligned with ISIS. Almost no Christians, Jews, or other groups. Clinton promises to let in many thousands more than Obama, and Obama says he's bringing in at least 85,000. It has also been reported that the numbers don't add up with the government's records, and it is becoming apparent that he is bringing many more than he is telling the American people.
Your horrible hysterics over politics is really kind of sickening. Especially because you don't have a leg to stand on. The truth means nothing to you. You're just out there screaming at the top of your lungs, and you don't even care if anything you are saying is true at all.
Hey, Gunny Ermey. That's disgusting language. Their are ladies present! LOL
4:38 Semper Fi
7:56 I don't know what to tell you? I'm not changing. You can either put up with it, comment on it or not come here? Just think if some one had not wanted to invade Iraq so bad in 2003 just maybe all of this could have been avoided?
So you were OK with Haliburton making billions of dollars off the Iraq War while Dick Cheney was in office.
But now you think the Clinton's should close their charitable organization which saves lives because it's a "conflict of interest?"
You are a special kind of hypocrite aren't you?
Forget #Amnesty Trumps W-2 Just how much is he indebt to the Bank of China? chew on it.
7:56 to 1:19: I'm not a Republican. Just voting for Trump to save America. Again, shooting off your mouth without knowing what you're talking about. I was against the Iraq war, and did everything in my power to speak out against it. I believe Clinton was for it, wasn't she? And where were the rest of the Democrats?
Clinton has promised that within one year, all the Syrian refugees will have work permits, and will have all their families here. Do you know how many people that is? And again, why make them permanent? They will have a country to go back to that nobody will have to go back to. Nobody will be populating Syria.
As appeared in The News-Herald on 2/5/16, in a Cal Thomas column: There is apparently a leaked German document, which says, "We are importing Islamic extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, national and ethnic conflicts of other peoples, as well as a different understanding of society and law." But nobody had to leak that in order to know what is going on there. Merkel, who let in all the Syrians, has now issued frantic alerts to her people, telling them to stockpile necessities for survival to prepare for terrorist attacks in their country by people in their country.
Nothing Trump could do would have any comparison to Clinton and Obama. Trump is indebted to the Bank of China? If that is true, who cares in the face of all that Clinton has done, is doing, and is going to do. She's killing people in Benghazi, giving away our country's secrets, selling out our country for her own good, promising to give away the rest of America so she can get elected, etc. And you're talking about Trump's tax returns, etc. That's all you've got, and it ain't nothin'.
This is the largest mass human migration since World War 2. 50 percent of the 10,000 Syrian refugees are children. 7:56 maybe you should do your homework before spreading your paranoia. Each of the 10,000 refugees has been through the security checks of the United Nations high commission, one NGO or the US embassy, this takes 10 months to 4 years. Along with children, their mothers were allowed in. 2% of the Syrians admitted were young men considered combat age. 15 of the refugees settled in Cleveland.
Refugees are subject to the highest level of security checks of any traveler category to the United States. So for ISIS to take advantage of the refugee program "makes no operational sense," said Anne Speckhard, a counterterrorism expert at Georgetown University.
"Given how easy it is to send a European extremist to the U.S. via Europe, why would an ISIS guy in Syria wait the three years it takes to get refugee status?" she said.
Will we ever learn from history? The US turned away Jewish refugees seeking asylum on a ship called the St. Louis. 942 Jews were turned away at the port of Miami and retuned to Germany. FDR feared there would be Nazi spies. Over 1/3 dies in the death camps.
There are so many more cases like the St Louis. The Smithsonian has written volumes and in depth about unfounded fears and the repercussions on the innocent. You might enjoy the read rather than the fear mongering currently being spewed.
1:19 - Trump owes money to the Bank of China? Doesn't China hold most of the billions, if not trillions of the U.S. Government debt? It's okay for our government, but not a huge U.S. businessman? Try again.
2:27 You must remember these people are being lead by a fear-monger. With fear comes power. Since Tim McVeigh, Adam Lanz, Omar Mateen all came from local hospitals? I haven't a clue how to spot them? Not from a foreign land.
9:45 Really read what you wrote? Billion dollars seems like a lot of influence?
Closer to home a veteran who claims he has PTSD killed a mother of three with an AR-15 in Solon the other day. Is it wise someone suffering from this should even have a weapon? Myself I'm tired of hearing about all these shootings by people who should never be armed!
There is no reason for Syrian refugees to be resettled anywhere except on safe land by their home country. They will get their country back, and then there will be no one to repopulate Syria. They have to be protected, that is for sure, and I don't know why the world didn't have them all out long before now, unless it's been impossible with what is going on. But there is no reason they should be being resettled anywhere. Although even in the refugee camps, the different groups have to be separated, because the women are accosted and raped by men in groups other than their own.
It's not fear, it's intelligence. Ask some of the people and/or their family members who have been hurt/killed by Islamic extremists in this country already. As far as saying they might as well come because we have our own homegrown terrorists, that makes no sense, as we do have enough of our own criminals, and we don't need to import anyone else's.
The Syrians will have their country back someday, and there will be no one left to occupy it. Our government is continually working without intelligence.
This should set you off: Taste of Painesville proceeds going to the Painesville organization.
11:42 Pretty much like many of the citizens?
4:58 Good for them! Odd why they always looking for a hand out from the city. Must not be as successful as one would think?
4:58 DPO gets 10% of profits +$75.00 for each site.
Might be the last year for this event the Health Department Nazi was driving vendors nuts. Taking something simple and making it into a big deal!
Many vendor not even from Painesville.
DPO business of the year? Mr. Chicken.
I do wish them luck.
Well who makes the money from the beer tent? I always thought it was the PCIC?
6:03,this is 11:42 - Speak for yourself.
On another note, I would urge every Democrat to try to put aside your party affiliations, and listen to Mr. Trump. Voting for Trump right now, in November, 2016, is a vote to save the country. We won't get another chance; this is it. Let's give him at least 4 years, and hopefully 8 to see if he can save our country, and try to bring it back to at least something close to what us older folks remember. People used to only need one job, for example, and a regular worker could support their family with only one of the parents working. And there were jobs to choose from. If you worked hard, you could own a home, and live the American Dream with a decent job, and livable wages. In 8 years, go ahead and consider your Democrats again, but meanwhile, please consider a vote for Trump. Many, like me, consider it a blessing that Trump has stepped up, and we are praying for him to save America. I'm in my 60's now, and I have never voted in a more important election in my entire life, nor do I think I ever will. Please listen to him and consider it. There won't be another chance. This is a monumental, historical election. If you're not registered, please get registered, and please vote for Trump.
I'm in my 60's now, and I have never voted in a more important election in my entire life, nor do I think I ever will. I have listened to Donald Trump for over a year now and I plan to vote for Hillary Clinton. God Bless America
Taking 'care' of humanity is a noble aspiration. Bringing 'Syrian Refugees' to the US is balance of payment for the conflict initiated by the US (ie. Senator McCain et al). However, the democrats (inside the belt way insiders) are so skippy to bring the 'refugees' here but yet no action (from the same belt way policy wonks) or target to rebuild FLINT, MICHIGAN (this city has been dead long before Michael Moore filmed Roger and Me too) or even PAINESVILLE!! Come on...
Quickie Quiz for you Trumpsters.
Who occupies the 45 floor, when was it purchased and what has Trump made on the transaction?
Still don't want to see those tax returns?
10:49. No, don't care about his tax returns. We need him to save America. Period. And whatever he has done can't be even close to what Hillary has done. How about 600 requests from our people in Benghazi begging her for help because they knew they were in danger. And she did not help. Even when they ended up under attack, like they knew would happen without her help, and were about to die horrible deaths, along with people who had to step in to save them because she didn't, she couldn't figure out if our soldiers should go in uniform or not, because her and Obama did not want to insult the government of that country, and that delayed the help enormously. No, I don't give a crap about his returns. How about her deleted messages that show that she told Chelsea and Bill that it was terrorists at Benghazi that killed our people, while she was telling the citizens of the U.S. that it was an impromptu attack because of a video to get herself off the hook for their murders, and hide the fact that these people died because of her.
We are learning more and more what Hillary's deleted emails, and also the newly discovered emails, that she TRIED to hide about her lies about Benghazi, and her pay to play schemes with her position as Secretary of State for the United States of America. And you think Trumps taxes are an important thing? No comparison whatsoever. Let's see the rest of those emails. The choice is between Clinton and Trump. It has to be Trump.
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia purchased the 45th floor of Trump World Tower, across the street from the UN, for use by It's UN staff, in 2001 for $4.1 million. They pay $85,000+ per year for building amenities. (Their share like every other unit owner in the building) Public knowledge. No need for tax returns.
8:02 Well if Hillary is complicate in four lives in Benghazi? As we know most of the hi-jackers on 9/11 were Saudi's selling that floor in June of 2001 brings up some questions? Was Trump complicate with the killing of 3000 Americans in the Twin Towers? Plus the fact it is now part of the Saudi Embassy to the U.N. it has rights none of us have. Just a strange coincident I guess. Along with the cherry on top of the sundae Trump rented apartment's to bin Laden's brother another coincidence? Just strange nefarious situations you people would hang Clinton with.
The tax returns would bury this man!
He has already given the government a huge pack of papers, which include all of his financial dealings, as required by law, and I believe it has a lot more information than he needed to give them. Calm down; he's going to win, and there isn't anything your hysterics can do about it, 10:18.
2:02 everyone is calm but where are his tax returns you can run but you can't hide. No where near all of his financial dealings. Today it was reported 2002-2012 are done with the audit so let's see them? The hysterics will come from you when they are released.
Or we can wait for WikiLeaks gives them to the public?
Maybe Wiki can find the rest of Hillary's emails. You know, the many thousands that she said she gave to the government already, just to keep finding out there are more and more and more that she's been lying about for several years. Or the ones she had acid-washed? Those cover-ups have to do with national security...a little more interesting to Americans than Trump's tax returns. Plus, he says if she gives up the rest of her hidden emails, he'll release his tax returns. But you don't want to talk about that, do you?
You just want to keep generating posts on your blog, so you keep doing anonymous posts so you can do that, AND shoot your mouth off some more. All you "got" on Trump are his taxes. Give it up.
7:16 She does have the email where Colin Powell seems to have done the same thing? As far as your cover-up your guessing. So should we start guessing about Trumps tax returns, This is the same guy who told Romney to show his and even asked to see the President's birth certificate? Release the taxes Trump the majority of Americans want to see them, You can't get the job without it!
I guess you must believe I'm the only one not voting for Trump. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
You see all the Trump signage in front of GOP headquarters? No Has David Joyce or Rob Portman Gov. Kasich even endorsed Trump. He will lose Ohio.
Maybe you should go down to headquarters and fight with them?
So your not prejudiced, but you can call me one? African-American is your terminology not mine. I stand by my back to the 50's claim and here's why.
First name be one candidate who publicly questioned the legitimacy of the first black president? Don't give me that Clinton crap without proof, it makes for a great excuse for you. On announcing his candidacy he calls Mexicans not the best rapist's and drug dealers as well as a few good ones. He will build a wall that Mexico will not pay for, as well as the dog whistle of deporting 11 million people, that will never happen either. Claims he doesn't know David Duke? Really? He talked about him years before. Sued by the justice department for refusing black tenants in this rental apartments. An admitted draft-dodger calling out POW's for being caught, making fun of people with handicaps never mind if your a woman he will scorn you. I have an 83 year old grandmother without a photo ID well she will have one by election day. and many of her friends also. What have you got to lose? Ted Cruz? Look he's Cuban as well as Marco Rubio to bad he couldn't get into that plot to assassinate Kennedy. So Trump is neither a republican or a conservative so besides being a racist why are you voting for him?
And the Republicans have spent how many millions of dollars digging up crap on emails Hillary sent or deleted. The FBI dropped it, the judicial dept. dropped it, everybody dropped except the damn Republicans who just keep spending taxpayer money. Last time I looked 7 million pissed away to keep emails in the public eye during an election year. How many roads would that money have paved, how many Americans could keep working, how many students could have gone to college. And does anyone remember the George W Bush email dust up? April 12, 2007 Bush lost 5 million emails and it was hardly mentioned...... do your homework Republicans and stop wasting money. Maybe it's time you held yourselves accountable...... just say'n.
Lets not even get into the bromance with the ruthless dictator Putin! What is this guy thinking?
Call us all the names you want! Happy Days are here again we don't care about who or what he calls anyone. We're not interested in his tax returns or bankruptcies. What they claim he said this man was sent to us to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
African American is a white persons terminology? Oh no no no. How many times has that changed by your own people? Negro, nope change it. Black, nope change it. I'm sure there are some that have escaped me. Now, African American - well we can't all just be Americans now can we? We have to add a race to it to stand alone. Talk about not assimilating. I've never heard people of this country call themselves Russian-American, Italian-American, French-American. Anyone else?
9:59, this is 4:42. First of all, I never said I wasn't prejudiced now. I am someone who fought for black rights all my life, then I woke up after decades and gave up; you can't help people who won't help themselves, and you can't help people who insist on being such victims. Like you. I may go point on point with your post at a later time, but I doubt it. You have your nose so deep into racism, you're not even trying to sort things out for yourself, and I'm too tired of Black racism to waste any more energy on it. For now, I'll just tell you this...if you want to see what your racism is doing to AMERICA, then go visit Chicago, or Detroit, or Cleveland. If you don't want to change your attitude and your racism for yourself, then maybe you could do it for the rest of Americans who would like their damn cities back. They're so ruined now, they'll never be the same. All those magnificent homes ruined and/or gone from lack of upkeep and care or from vandalism. Younger people now don't even remember that not that long ago -- 20-30 years, it was exciting to hop on a bus and go downtown, and the cities were magnificently beautiful. Detroit, for one, was absolutely lovely. People used to go for Sunday rides just to ride around the neighborhoods and look at all the beautiful homes and tree-lined streets. Kids used to go on their own to eat at the lunch counters and window shop. Another little tidbit of advice for your people. When a cop pulls you over, do what the white people do and put your hands on the wheel, and be respectful and obedient. It's called civic duty. And in answer to the one legitimate question you asked me: I am voting for Trump to save America.
9:59 I guess you received your answer? Must say even I am surprised on some of these comments.
Can only hope tomorrows post will change some hearts and minds?
2:19 Please explain how he will do this?
Do you know his plan? Does he have a plan?
Some people can find racism everywhere they look.
Seems that "black anonymous" fits that description.
Don't forget Honky, Whitie, Anglo, and yes Cracker, which I have been called by black children.
3:51 Children?
1:16 Seems to can find it in a lot more places then black anonymous?
8:44/12:48 Well all I will add here is are either of you aware of the difference between Patriotism and Nationalism? Seems with Nationalism you are never allowed to question the government. A Patriot will question the government about an issue and not scorn the whole country but they just point out a problem the society is having. Myself I found it hard to connect with Kaepernick sitting had to be with the military? He was questioning police policies. As an American he has this right. These players doing this are just pointing out what they see as an injustice. Now somehow this seems to have backfired his jersey is the @1 seller in the NFL.
Maybe as Whites we spend less time telling them what to do and a little more time listening?
YES - children in schools.
9:03, no, I don't think we need to spend any more time listening. I think we need to tell them to quit serving up racism with their nightly dinners to generation after generation after generation of their children. Michael Brown comes to mind.
5:16 What is the administrations reaction to this?
5:32 Yes, and I bet your dinner table message serves up what? I will admit Michael Brown was a poor example. But anyone who has watched the dash cams and cell cams must realize there is a problem?
