verb, transitive
To investigate.

Origin: From Latin scrutari (to examine). Earliest documented use: 1882.

USAGE:

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

I stand corrected - thanks. I guess, because I buy honey maple ham, which is much sweeter, I had forgotten Virginia ham was sweet.

Honey or maple is usually a choice of two types of ham. An either/or. LOL

According to Dictionary.com, scrutate is not a word, but scrutator is. But a scrutator is, of course, one who scrutates.

It happened oh, so suddenly-
The left is no longer fine
With all that is Obamacare
As they scrutate each line

Gruber’s remarks don’t help-
Now out there for all to see
That liberals think the public
Is about as dumb as they can be

Most of us were never fooled-
That garbage isn’t even new-
Thanks to that loose cannon
All the sheep know it, too...

The meat cut from this cooked ham is slightly sweet

Ha. I bet. "Slightly sweet."

I guess she barely has a license these days, but she smashed his furniture in a rage. Took the dining room chairs and smashed the table and other furniture till it was all destroyed. Girl has a temper.

He’s had a championship NBA career and an ugly divorce. I don’t think Jordan is afraid of anyone, especially the sissy-in-chief and his minions.

With Holder's recent departure, Obama nominated a like-minded individual as Attorney General, to continue to scrutate violations against the "Civil Rights" of citizens… Naturally, the ability to place trust unconditionally in The One and attract Useful Idiots in support of their goals is key to the selection of anyone by this Administration (not to mention ensure that no one utters casual remarks against the Cabal w/o repercussions).

Now, a cute Tsarina Loretta Lynch is not – the most significant things are that she acts true to their agenda, and puts Race top-most on the list, since prosecuting these "crimes against the State" currently rank highest in importance. So, unless the perp is a Job-producer or Conservative where political gain is involved, standard actions such as seeing breaches of contract sued or getting punitive loan rates cut, etc. won't be vigorously pursued.
