Online story: “A man held 10 people hostage inside a California office building before the FBI shot and killed him early Wednesday, bringing the more than 15-hour standoff to an end, police said. * The hostages were found unharmed inside the downtown Bakersfield building that houses a bank and a school district office, the Bakersfield Police Department said in a statement. * Anthony Scott Searles-Harris, 41, was shot and killed around 4:20 a.m., according to Sid Patel, of the FBI's Sacramento field office. Patel said the suspect has a history of violence and is a registered sex offender.” -- Hmmmm ...nice to see  the FBI is teaching marksman accuracy again...

WTVM-TV9 online headline: "2 recovering after late-night Columbus GA shooting" --  Well....take your pick... drugs, gang, or both...

I'm fed up with car sensors! We don't need'em, and while they are sorta built into the cost of our cars, it costs a small fortune to replace them when they malfunction....especially if your warranty has passed or it's not a manufacturers' recall... I'm going to insist the dealer give me a written warranty that he will pay for all sensor replacements after the warranty expires... or I'm not buying a vehicle from him/her now or in the future...

Looks like a Knicks vs Spurs NBA FINALS begins tonight.. In 1976, I attended a Knicks-Spurs game at Madison Square Gardens... It was my first (and, poetically, my last) trip to the NEW MSG.. I arrived in In NYC early, checked into my hotel.. the Statler-Hilton.. and noticed a sign across the street at "the Gardens" ... It read: " Tonight..Knicks vs Spurs". This was the Knicks Bill Bradley's last year,  and the rookie year for George "Iceman" Gervin of the Spurs.. Paid $14.00 for a mid-section seat, and watched two pro teams  "laze" it for 3 quarters before finally playing basketball in the 4th.. Knicks won, but it was a disappointing show of the talent on the court.

Wow! It looks like this November, Californians will have an opportunity to actually vote "FOR" a Republican candidate for Governor and a Republican Mayor of LA.... Wil wonders never cease?

Oh.. did you notice the election results by Districts in California?  Only 15 of 53 voted for the DemoKrat gubernatorial candidates…and all but 2 of those were on the Pacific Coast areas.

Online headline: "Map Shows Upcoming ‘No Kings’ Anti-Trump Protests This Month" --  Wow! Yet one frontline  federal Judge can brake  an initiative of President Trump...  hmmmm... doesn't sound like we have a "King" in the White House...

---
Don’t you find it rather comical… or weird… that Courier ECO Latino publisher, Wane Hailes (while wallowing in his PEW)  feels  Columbus GA should support  “former Atlanta Mayor and White House adviser (sic) Keisha Lance Bottoms for governor “ ? What he’s not mentioning is that Bottoms decided NOT to run for re-election for a second term because she screwed up her first term so badly, and that being an advisor for Resident Biden was purely a joke…

---
WTVM-TV9 online headline: "Pinnacle details Columbus GA hub expansion after Synovus merger" -- Hmmm... Just curious, but where will the employees park?

---
Uptown Columbus GA is not concerned about curfews for teens so they will stay home… the concern is that adult customers of Uptown restaurants and night clubs don’t want  to worry about being accosted by large groups of teens… that and finding a parking space…

Hmmm...McDonalds feels adding more automation will bring back more customers, but that's not what customers "feel".. While bringing "faster service" back to "Fast Food" would help, but for McDonalds... all "fast food" businesses for that matter... making their burgers bigger again would be the key to get customers back.. I just bought a "Quarter Pounder" last week in Atlanta, what I got looked more like their burger served in Kiddie Meals 25 years ago.

---
NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill now says the violence at the ICE Detention Center was caused by outside agitators  .. people who, without being asked,  flooded into NJ  to cause trouble. Hmmm... Wait a minute.... Isn't that the same reason why ICE is in NJ.... getting out-of-country outsiders out of NJ ..and America?

---
Online headline: "Sunny Hostin supports Graham Platner despite calling him 'a liar, a racist, an antisemite" -- Wow! Like most of the cast of "The View", Sunny Hostin has terminal "Trump Derangement Syndrome"! It's pathetic that anyone would vote for a candidate of one party because the voter hates the President in the other party.

---
Online Courier ECO Latino headline/story: “Pandering, Posturing, and the Power of the Perfect Picture * Pandering occurs when politicians tell specific groups exactly what they want to hear, regardless of whether those promises align with reality, sound public policy, or even the candidate's own beliefs. The goal is simple: secure votes and public approval. *  Posturing, on the other hand, is political theater. It involves adopting dramatic positions, staging symbolic events, or projecting exaggerated confidence to create the appearance of strength, expertise, or leadership. The objective is not necessarily to solve problems but to shape perceptions.” – Hmmmm ….Perfect words from a perfect example;  Wane Hailes,  a man who promotes  himself spewing “PEW from a pew”... he just described the entire DemoKrat Agenda in two short paragraphs.

---
It's a joke when lawyers and celebrities/political activists stand in front of a microphone ranting that prisoners/detainees at ICE Detention Centers are complaining about the food they get... Name me one incarcerated person in any jail who has ever complimented prison food....

Online headlines: First: “Stacey Abrams endorses Dana Barrett for Georgia secretary of state” . and Second: A Wane Hailes endorsement headline:  “Brown Reynolds Enters June 16 Runoff With Strong Muscogee County Support, Warnock Endorsement” --  Hmm the first question to ask is whether Barrett or Brown Reynolds actually wanted ANY of those endorsements…

---
Wane Hailes of the Courier ECO Latino has issues with his endorsements…they make many people start looking at othe candidates.. Take Columbus GA Council Post 7 runoff.. Hailes is all on Zajac, who has no practical business sense that would give taxpayers and businesses any confidence… she fronts for an NGO and basically begs for money rather than thinking of projects and ideas hat would EARN such money…On the other hand, Hailes DETESTS Laketha  Ashe… primarily because current  Councilors Tucker and Crabb feel Ashe would be a better fit…I like the positive thinking of Toyia Tucker and Charmaine Crabb!

Online headline: "Columbus: Muscogee County | The Envy of The South" --  I remember a time "this" (envy of the South) was true... but we're about to lose that ..

I just noticed something ....in 2000, Columbus GA was split about 50/50 between  Congressional Districts  2 & 3. Today, District 2 has about 90% of Columbus, and District 3 has about 10% isolated in the NW corer of Columbus, GA.....No wonder the GA Republican Party pretty much ignores Columbus..

Rush is a resident of Fairfax County, VA which is overwhelming DemoKrat, so I imagine his government connections are with the DemoKrats, so that does sorta explain why he could get "vetted"  and hired in Washington, DC earlier... Wait a minute... was he on the Southern Border vetting team under KamaBLAHBLAH and Resident Biden?

---

So Mamdani wants to confiscate NYC  apartments and give them to the tenants.... Hmmm.. but who will maintain them? Other apartment complexes would be confiscated and turned over to  the City.

Begley was brought in to be the vote to get  the $50 Million Bond to strip Historic GOLDEN Park's name out of South Commons!

The more you think about it, 'it' gets scarier... I'm talking about that fire at California chemical site... thousands of gallons of water are being hosed into the tank to keep it cool ... Which raises a couple of questions: 1- How come the FD has water for this but didn't have it for the hoes burned in the Palisades fires?, and 2- When will Newson redirect this water to save "snail darters" in some creek elsewhere in CA?

---
Online headline/story: "California congressional candidate refuses to say Pledge of Allegiance in resurfaced clips * California's 7th Congressional District candidate and Sacramento City Council member Mai Vang is receiving pushback after videos resurfaced of her refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance." -- Hmmm...
