NEWS: MALLY STILL A MUNCHNER

Still no resolution on the fate of J. Beebs' quarantined Capuchin, seized by Munich custom officials on March 28th.

The pop singer needs to claim Mally -- and pay thousands of dollars for his care -- or officially inform the authorities by letter that he no longer wants him.

Bieber's humans claim they are working with the German authorities to resolve the situation. For now, the baby monkey is a Munchner, who clings to a stuffed animal as a surrogate parent and repeatedly crying out "in the hope of finding other members of his family group" -- described by animal shelter official Karl Heinz Joachim as "heartbreaking".

Ironically, Bieber's biggest hit of his career was "Baby", ending with the woeful words "I'm gone".

More's the pity for Mally and shame on the 19-year-old singer for making a baby monkey cry.

As to why the posting about this topic on this website, Ron would have seen the value of this as a  news story versus Nikki Haley's status as an Indian-American Woman presiding over South Carolina; the flawed Gang Immigration Bill a/k/a the "Welfare Welcome Wagon"; O'Malley declaring the recent jail indictments  as "a positive development"; Obama's expansion of pre-kindergarten programs and his other nonsense; along with all the rest of the crap that's presented to us as "news" these days.

SLIP SLIDING AWAY

Ben Carson told Newsmax that “the personal and political attacks he has undergone, including protests from students and faculty at Johns Hopkins University that ended up with him stepping down from delivering this year’s commencement address, haven’t turned him off politics.”

 “To the contrary, they have ‘spurred him on’”, Greg Richter and John Bachman reported, adding that “At the same time, it saddens him to see others become afraid to speak out because of intimidation in a country that was founded on freedom of expression.”

“We’ve fallen so far, we should be very alarmed about what’s going on here,” said the good Doctor.

As Ron said, “If you want to know who’s really in charge, ask yourself who can’t be criticized.”
