One can learn a lot of information by just scanning the headlines on the Drudge Report. Drudge is vilified by the left because he was the one who let out the information back in the day that Clinton was engaging with a 21 year old intern by the name of Monica Lewinsky and Newsweek had the information and was withholding it.

In the sound bite age, most people don't have time to read lengthy articles unless the subject is extremely interesting to them, nor can most afford to subscribe to every newspaper available to get both sides of the story -- or as in the Clinton-Lewinsky case--the story itself, so Growltiger recommends her dear readers start their information day off by visiting the Drudge Report at:

Growltiger admits she finds the idea of Republicans rioting a tad difficult to believe.

In addition to rioting Republicans, one learns that 27 companies in S&P's 500 including Level 3 Communications, United Continental and General Motors reported paying no income tax expense in 2015 despite reporting pre-tax profits...

and

Reading on, she learned that "It's been almost ten months since an iron plant closed near Aurora, a century-old mining community in northeastern Minnesota. The only dentist retired in June and nobody would take over his practice. The only drug store closed in August. And in January, the town of 1600 residents closed its only grocery store..."

and that Abbott Labs, a global healthcare company, is joining Disney in Florida in laying off IT employees after signing an agreement with a major India-based IT services firm. "The employees were told about the planned cuts on February 22; their day will be April 22."

while
Ohio lost 112,500 jobs in 2015 resulting from the United States' trade deficit with countries that are part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, according to an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute.

On the political front, Mitt Romney who managed to lose even his home state of Massachussets in 2012 is willing to accept the Republican nomination again.

and Ted Cruz believes the media is sitting on bombshells about Donald Trump.

Growltiger finds it difficult to believe that Murdoch's Fox News and Wall Street Journal would hold back anything negative about Donald Trump, but just in case, why wait, Ted? Enlighten us.

And if those don't depress enough, dear readers, there is also
North Korea threatening "indiscriminate" nuclear strikes against South Korea and the US mainland...

Maybe Cleveland needs the riot gear after all.
