Online headline: "Three stabbed at crowded Rhode Island beach as hundreds of teens pack area, police say" --  Times have changed... Now when you see what looks like an "excited" teen guy coming at you at the beach, you'll probably now be thinking, "Is that a knife he's carrying in his Speedo?

There were a few surprises in Columbus GA elections yesterday… One was the almost absence of new votes in South Columbus GA following 3 weeks of “early” voting….Second was the much lower percent of votes “I-see-a-nothing” Hugley finally got on election day and overall…maybe  South Columbus voters were not as blind as “I-see-a-nothing” hoped they would still be..Oh… congrats to Charmaine Crabb for her re-election to Council Post 5 after leftist criticism about her taking gutsy hard positions that help Columbus’ future, and to the winners in Council Posts 1 & 3.. We’ll have to return in 4 weeks to get definitive results in Council Post 7 (Maybe ‘None of the Above’ will win this one this time) and Post 9 and for Mayor.. The only unexpected  surprise was how DemoKrats abandoned the legacy of retired State Senator Ed Harbison…and the biggest disappointment was that 3 School Board members (Posts 6, 8 & 9) who have no improvements to show for  reading & math test scores were overwhelmingly re-elected… I was especially shocked at Mark Cantrell getting 76% of the votes in Post 6… all I can figure is a lot of teachers and school employees live in District 6 and have real sway with these low turnout election in May than there would be in November elections.

Not from the Gomer Pyle: Surprise! department - Online headline: "Mamdani won't attend Israel Day Parade, breaking decades-long mayoral tradition amid antisemitism surge" --  Wow! Has any NYC Mayor ever NOT celebrated this parade?

Hey...MSM wants to SPLC scandal to be treated as a “nothing to see here.. keep on moving folks!” MSM is seemingly trying to sweep the scandalous donations the "civil rights" law firm Southern Poverty Law Center paid the Neo-Nazis, and KKK et al  to stage violent  protests!

---
Hmmm....DemoKrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wants Black athletes to BOYCOTT the SEC! Hey... don't think Jeffries will care if SEC teams lose more games , either...and don't expect Jeffries to let DemoKrat Congresspersons in SEC states vote differently. Remember this in November when you go back to the General Elections.. Just say, NO! to DemoKrats!

---
I think we now know why the DemoKrat politicians are SO AGAINST the White House Ballroom being built by President Trump... TRUMP and other DONORS are paying for it, not the taxpayers! That is why the DemoKrats are upset... If it WAS a tax issue, then the House would have to vote for it, and tax bills are DemoKrats favorite way to add unrelated spending bills that DemoKrats can use to pay back their donors.

This will be short so everyone has plenty of time to vote in the 6 ststes that have elections and primaries today!

---
There are 6 states.. GA, AL, OR, ID, PA, and KY holding Primaries today.. GO VOTE!

Now.. For my GA Voters… especially in Columbus GAA At-Large contests:

Governor:  At this point, I’m leaning Rick Jackson because I don’t like any others.. Jackson is the one I can still say “”I’m voting “FOR”…

Lt. Governor: Blake Tillery for pretty much the same reason.

Secretary of State:  Gabe Sterling

State Atty General: Bill Cowsert

State School Superintendent: Richard  Woods

US Senate: Mike Collins

US District 3: Brian Jack

State Senate 29: Randy Robertson

State House 38:  Vance Smith

State Insurance Commissioner:  John F. King

Columbus GA Local Races  –

Council Post 9 At Large: John Anker

Council Post 5:  Charmaine Crabb

Council Post 7: None of the Above

Superior Court - Chattahoochee Area:  Write in Warner Kennon, Loudermilk or Dodgen rather than the incumbent.

Now, the Muscogee County School Board Elections:

Fortunately, Nicky Tillery goes back in unopposed in Post 2, but the others need replacing Chambers has been a Board Chair, Cantrell has been sitting worthlessly for 16 years, Schley was put in to get Myers out, and Hugley-Green is.. well… just  another HUGLEY, and they have accomplished ZILCH in getting our students test scores even up to the dismal State levels…In Districts 4, 6, 8, & 9 (Kevin Miller in Post 9)… go with the challengers who are running because they see what I see…lack of student improvement!


Other races are on different ballots that I’m leaving for you to think about.. but …“do your own thinking”… and remember “DemoKrats LIE”.

Online headline: "Supreme Court strikes nail in coffin to Democrat redistricting push, 2024 maps will stay" -- Yes.. there  is Constitutional justice and Constitutional protection of American voters!

WTVM-TV9 online headline: "Historic building in midtown Columbus GA being transformed into pickleball facility" --  Historic building? I remember when it housed Billy Martin Food Services, and pre-packaged sandwiches were made there to service fast food marts and vending machines, and had been closed for decades. Even so, this will put pressure on he other Pickle Ball complex between 2nd Ave and Veterans Parkway that should have been finished by now.

Online headline: "Maryland police frustrated after teen accused in more than 100 car break-ins released within hours of arrest" --Hmmm ...wonder how many Margaritas Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen shared with "Maryland LAD" at the Police Holding Cell before some judge released him?

---
Online headline: "Whoopi Goldberg Apologizes To Elon Musk For Her 'Apartheid' Remark On 'The View' After Being Suspended For Holocaust Comments: 'I Take It Back" --  Hmmmm.... Wanna bet that ABC reminded Whoopi that Musk's children could buy ABC with their weekly allowances?

Wow! Just heard that  Commencement Speakers at the Top 100 Universities favored Leftist Speakers over Conservative Speakers by a 6-to-1 ratio... Hmmmm ...sounds to me that 6-out-of-7 Top 100  universities are taking one last shot trying to convince their graduates AND their parents that what the grads have learned about liberalism  is what they needed to learn.

---
Wow... Georgia Tech invited SINator W👹rn👹ck to speak at graduation .. Wow. after 4 years of learning, what a sad note for the grads to leave on.

---
Online headline: "California championship track meet forces trans athlete to share top podium spot with female" -- hmmm..  DemoKrats won't define what a female "is", but neither will DemoKrats call a Transgender person a female/girl/or woman!

---
Online headline: "Drone strike sparks fire at UAE nuclear power plant in latest blow to Iran ceasefire" --  It's time....time to let Iran's terrorist leaders  know they are breathing only because they are being allowed to breathe.

I read Wanes Hailes', publisher of Columbus,  GA's Courier ECO Latino, "pew from the Pew" on a regular basis, and have concluded he was forgotten the important message of men he claims to represent... he doesn't remember Dr Martin Luther King, Jr's message not to judge people by the color of their skin...nor does he remember Christ died to cleanse  all people of their sins..without any regard to their skin color....

---
A Courier ECO Latino story published by Wane Hailes reported : "A record number of voters participated in early in-person voting in Muscogee County ahead of the upcoming election, according to county election officials. * There are 127,686 active registered voters in Muscogee County. As of Friday, the final day of early voting, 21,275 voters had cast ballots during the advance voting period. *  According to voter data, 15,561 of those who voted early identified as Democrats, compared to 4,994 identified as Republicans. *  A demographic breakdown of early voters showed 12,416 Black voters participated in early voting, followed by 6,646 White voters. An additional 1,201 voters were classified as other or unknown, while 275 Hispanic voters, 181 Asian/Pacific Islander voters, and 71 American Indian voters also cast ballots during the early voting period." --  First, how about info as o how many votes were cast at each open precinct... Secondly, why...WHY  would voting info distributed by an Election Official include Racial demographics! That info is NOT on the ballot... and I doubt each voter volunteered such personal info to a reporter. I'm also curious about the term "American Indian voter"...I though the "official" designation was "Native American"

Have you noticed that as loud as Leftists scream of their hatred for Trump, they don't acknowledge or hate the good things he's done they are benefiting from. 

---
Online headline: "Church buses and charter buses are heading to Selma and Montgomery for a ‘reclamation of power" --  Hmmm....now, remind them of Alabama's DemoKrat Governor George "Jim Crow" Wallace……

Now… From 1872 until the 2002 Election, EVERY Governor in Georgia was an ELECTED DemoKrat! From 1874 until 1994, EVERY Governor in Alabama was an ELECTED DemoKrat!  From 1876 until 2004, EVERY Governor in Mississippi was an ELECTED DemoKrat! From 1876 1987, EVERY Governor of South Carolina was an ELECTED DemoKrat! From 1877 to 1980, EVERY Louisiana Governor was an ELECTED. DemoKrat! From 1877 to 1981, EVERY Arkansas Governor was an ELECTED DemoKrat!

---
Online headline: "A Civil War prison and an active cemetery sit inside Georgia’s most haunting national park" --  Hmmm....and yet none of the atrocities that occurred.  and re-occurred.... at Union POW Camp Morton in Indiana are ever brought up....... Andersonville was a tea party in comparison. 

---
Excuse me, but what does it matter about developing the area around  formerly Historic GOLDEN PARK that's now called Synovus Park .. by time plans are started, Synovus will become Pinnacle.  Hmmm.... Guess we can call it CYNICAL Park....

---
You know, when former Columbus GA Mayor Queen TT Tom-LYING-son $244,000.00, at least we gotta bathroom out of it... and even though most of us cannot get a key to use it, at least it's there to see ... With this second dose of $250,000.00 added to the original $250,000.00, to look at what can be done around the South Commons area, we might not have ANYTHING to see.

---
Bond, James Bond.... Who among us doesn't remember Sean Connery's response to who he was? Now, there's an intent search to find a new actor to portray Ian Fleming's iconic character. Names are being put forward...even some women's names are being flung into the air.... but the solution is staring Hollywood in its face.... AI..... AI can completely recreate 35 year old Sean Connery as the permanent NEW Sean Connery!  Discussion over!

Rory McIlroy desrribed his first round at the PGA golf tournament yesterday in one qord: “S***”!  Funny… that’s the same word I describe McIlroy’s personality on and off a golf course!

---
Online headline/story: “173 House Democrats vote against resolution honoring police amid rising attacks * GOP Rep Zach Nunn said he expected unanimous backing, but only 29 Democrats voted for the measure during National Police Week * The vote came during National Police Week, which honors the service and sacrifice of fallen law enforcement officers across the country. * The majority of Democrats who supported the resolution are facing competitive re-election contests in November.” -- Hmmm... so 29 DemoKrats are sweating the November race against Republicans... sounds like Jeffries has his hands full..

---
Have you tried to use the Columbus GA Tax database to get UP-TO,-DATE  information in the past 5 months? Here it is in May of 2026, and most, maybe all, of the information is listed 'as of January 1, 2025... Seems like this is a plot line by comedians Hardy & Laurel... "another fine mess you got me in" that ex-City Manager Hugley got fired for and "pert time" City Manager Skippy the POOPOO hasn't fixed!

---
Online headline: “Eric Swalwell's Wife of 9 Years Feels Blindsided by His 'Double Life' After Sexual Assault Allegations" --  "Blindsided"? Yeah .Right.. just as DemoKrats were only "blindsided" by Biden's. dementia AFTER he was un-elected!

---
Online headline: "Trans woman's chilling admission to killing parents over gender surgery dispute" -- Have you noticed that even when MSM uses feminine pronouns they still refer to "she-it" as a  TRANSGENDER, not a girl or woman...

---
Online headline: "‘This is not feeding the poor’: Nonprofit raises legal alarms by funding bodyguards for conservative influencers" -- Well, the first "corrective" step is to retract/revoke the 501-(c)-4 category on organizational status. This has allowed political donations to become tax deductible for donors.

---
Saw a real “iffy” and  unverified story about a Republican governor candidate's wife quietly donating to key Dem in battleground state" -- First... IF TRUE... this could be a "game changer".. but..BUT between AI, and "internal party politics as usual", and "DemoKrat finagling", at best, it's skeptical that a Republican Billionaire's wife would donate only $1,000.00  to a high profile candidate in the DemoKrat Party.

---
GA Governor Kemp lead an announcement team highlighting a $13 Million Dollar investment Heckler & Koch are making in their facility in Columbus, GA..  Guess H & K’s patience has finally paid off.. this time when the Columbus GA Police Department wanted new guns, it chose H & K rather than a foreign company…Maybe Mayor Skippy the POOPOO remembered when Synovus wanted new ATM’s several years ago, but they bought them from Germany rather than from NCR which was making them here in Columbus GA… and not too long afterwards, NCR closed down their facility and moved to where hey were more appreciated.

Wow! That was an impressive and respectful welcoming Xi Jinping produced for President Trump! Now, can you imagine how Wandering Joe Biden would have looked to the world trying to keep up walking with Xi Jinping, or, heaven forbid, KamaBLAHBLAH.. all 5'4" of her... just standing there!

---
Online headline: "Data center drained 30 million gallons of water without reporting or paying for it, investigation reveals" -- I wrote about this Data Center south of Atlanta yesterday, and this is another story ...The worst aspect is the CFO had to know there were no checks being written to pay for the water use, yet did nothing for between 4-to-10 years about bringing it to anyone else's attention!

---
Online headline: "Democrats caught on camera coaching candidate on how to be 'authentic' in 2026 messaging" --  Hmmm .. like I've said over and over, "DemoKrats LIE!". Now we actually see..hear . the "leadership" COACHING their 'players'  to do so...and how to.

Online "headLIE": "Republicans Aren’t Done Stealing Democratic Seats" --  "stealing"? How about lawfully returning them to their rightful owners... ALL the citizens of the state!

Online headline: "Walz administration accused whistleblowers of being ‘racist’ against Somali fraudsters: Oversight report" --  Good grief! Fraud is fraud, the color of the fraudsters has no bearing on that issue.. If the Somali fraudsters were white....it still was....IS.. fraud.

---
Incumbent DemoKrat Mayor Karen Bass of LA says her opponent, Stephen Pratt "doesn't know how government works".... but what does know is that government under Bass DOESN'T WORK VERY WELL! 

---
Even worse than the above Karen Bass story is this one: Earvin “Magic” Johnson has boldly endorsed… without a single hesitation… Karen Bass’ re-election.. I;m afraid it’s time for Earvin Johnson to get a new name…. from now on, he’ll be known as “TRAGIC” Johnson!

---
WTVM-TV9 online headline: "Columbus council approves $250,000 for South Commons master plan" --  Has anyone realized the Clingstones are a "AA" Minor League baseball team, not a MAJOR League one? Has anyone thought to realize the Clingstones have been here I season where most of the seats were corporate season ticket sales, and Season 1 was a below .500 season?

Online headline: "Senate Democrats finally crack GOP unity on Trump's Iran war as Murkowski flips" -- Wait a minute.. It's only a "Murkowski Flips" moment when she votes WITH Trump!

---
Online headline: "Mexican president vows to shield cartels and corrupt politicians from foreign interference in defiant public statement" -- Hmmm... I think she's more PO's that Trump shut down the Southern Border thanour DemoKrats are!

---
Good grief! Got another e-mail from Senator Ossoff.. this time he writes: “Can I be honest with you?” Wow! I responded, “That would be nice, but who’d believe you anyway.. you’re a DemocKrat!”

---
Online headline: "Schumer backs GOP's plan to bring the pain during future shutdowns: 'I'm going to vote for it" -- It's not gonna create pressure just to stop paying Senators & Representatives.. it must include shutting off all funding of their STAFFs!

With all going on with Iran and midterm election primaries, you might not have heard this, but April's non-farm jobs creation not only up significantly from projections, but March's jobs report was modified upward as well. Just thought you might like to know, because ya ain't gonna hear from our local news sources either.

---
Online headline: "Move to oust Nancy Guthrie sheriff fails as Pima County supervisors refer perjury allegations to AG" --  I think my first assessment, 3 months + ago,  that the Arizona Sheriff was looking for any way not to describe the kidnapper/killer as an illegal alien. The fact that 3 months later the Sheriff  cannot say the kidnapper is an American is pretty much an undeniable admission that the culprit is a non-American.

---
Online headline: "Mural honoring murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska taken down in Providence after local outrage' --  The Mayor SHOULD be upset ..the painting makes government officials focus on their not having the killer locked up in jail which would have prevent the death of Iryna Zarutska!

---
Online headline: "Ex-DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas regrets Biden’s immigration agenda — despite claiming border was ‘secure" --  You know, while former Resident Biden has certain immunities to being charged with crimes while in office, Mayorkas didn't!  At a minimum, based on this personal admission, he should be arrested and charged with "collusive traitorship"!

---
WRBL-TV3 online headline: "Mayor tells Columbus GA Council recommendation on city manager not coming this week" -- Talk about a dodge of responsibility..obviously Columbus GA Mayor Skippy the POO feels the current Council may not approve his choice. He KNOWS Byron Hickey will be leaving after the May 19th Election date, and wants to wait and see if John Anker retains his seat, as both voted for firing previous City Manager "I-see-a-nothing" Hugley. Hmmm... guess it's time to update Skippy's name ...now it will be more fitting to refer to him as Mayor Skippy the POOPOO... Oh! This alone is a grat reason to make sure Anker gets elected!

---
Why should GA Power Company be allowed to spend money on on ad on the Atlanta Braves outfield wall? It doesn't have any competition it has to worry about, so the only reason GA Power Company buys such an ad is to provide "perks" to its executives and Board members at the expense on its users.. The PSC needs to shut down such spending!

---
Online headline: "Sotomayor drops blistering dissent as Supreme Court reverses itself on Black voting power" --  Hmmm...  26% of Alabama’s population does not mean ...nor guarantee... any district should have a racial majority in any district...  but depending on where people chose to live ... COULD mean a statewide 26% group COULD have a majority for a group in one ..or even 2... depending where they choose to reside..... but definitely, no district should be created with such in mind.

---
This is big! Most people won't have noticed...or even thought much about it, but Monday night (May 11th) on a Fox News Show, there was an ad for "Eastside Golf"... What's "big" about it is that "Eastside Golf" is a Black business aimed at Black golfers advertising on a conservative network... seeking Black golfers. Like I've said...this is "big"...successful Black business people are turning to Fox.... and they proud and unashamed.

---
Surely you've heard this unbelievable news about  Earvin Johnson, Jr, better known as "Magic" Johnson who just came out and endorsed LA Mayor Kathy Bass for re-election! Talk about  the need to change his name.. from now on, he shall be address ONLY as "Tragic" Johnson... even by most Californians!

---
The Columbus L-E’s “People’s Choice Awards” are a faud! There’s no “Write-In” capability.. It’s especially noticeable in the “Eat & Drink” categories… I cannot vote for “Moe’s Original” down on 5th Avenue, nor “Monterey Tex-Mex” for Mexican food nor Margaritas!  These here are definitely winners in our book!

Online headline: "Jeffries vows Democrats will win House majority in 2026 and 'bury' Republicans in 2028 redistricting" --  Hmmm.. "we will bury you"? ..Sounds like Jeffries plagiarized Nikita Khrushchev's 1960 UN Speech except for taking off his shoe and banging it on the speaker's stand!

---
Online headline: "Maryland's Left-wing governor, Wes Moore,  ripped for ‘insane’ answer on whether he’d support minor son’s gender transition" -- Hmmm... He says he'd let his minor son get his malehood chopped off... but don't forget, Moore's a DemoKrat...and..(in unison)... DemoKrats LIE!

Online headline: "Nah, We Good: Morehouse Medical Students Protest Republican Commencement Speaker Rep.

---
Online headline: "Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, other Dems push DNC to release its 2024 postmortem" -- Hmmm... Maybe  KamaBLAHBLAH & Booker should wait until their part of the  postmortem is finished before demanding it....their chapters are still in motion.

---
Online headline: "Stacey Abrams: The Political Powerhouse Who Transformed Voting Rights Advocacy in America" -- "Political Powerhouse"?  Good grief! The  source,  shinemycrown.com, of this opinion that Stacey Abrams should be given sainthood, also feels AOC is a god.

---
Online headline: "Columbus road closure: Part of busy street is scheduled to be closed for 11 days" -- Hmmm...  Should this be done when the May 19th Election Day falls within this 10 day window?

---
Online headline: "House Democrat Calls Out His Own Party’s ‘Double Standard’ in New York Times Op-Ed" -- First.. the ":double standard" is the only standard the DemoKrats have had in the last 60 years (or longer)! America so needs TERM LIMITS for House and Senate seats!
