Wane Hailes online opinion: "If enacted, HB 1339 would require a special election to fill a council vacancy if it occurs more than 90 days before a general election. The measure also mandates that the election be called within 30 days after the vacancy is declared. * The bill passed the House by a 130–30 vote. Local Republican Reps. Carmen Rice and Vance Smith voted against the measure. *  If enacted, HB 1339 would require a special election to fill a council vacancy if it occurs more than 90 days before a general election.

We have a Charter system that allows Columbus citizens to control our destiny in an orderly manner rather than a reactive one! C'mon, Senate, reject this political dodge...Mayor Skippy the POO has already slipped one of those in with his "100 Acre SCAM"...  Besides… just Courier ECO Latino’s Hailes  being for it makes this a negative bias for Columbus’ future!

Online headline: "High Point calls out major conferences for avoiding his team after March Madness upset: 'They gotta play us" -- This is exactly why there should be only 32 teams invited.. drastic upsets do nothing for the legitimacy  of creating the top team in the country.

NY Attorney General Letitia James just reconfirmed her incompetence.... and her sickness! She first did so in her unwarranted persecution of ex(at the time)-President Trump, but now she's going after hospitals/doctors who refuse to ruin minor children's lives by performing life ruining transgender surgeries. Come on US Supreme Court Justices, stomp on this cockroach!

Online headline: "Major city hikes hotel tax to nearly 20% as tourism bosses eye future events" -- Wow!  Well, Shicago used to be considered a "major city", but thats become real questionable in the las 20 years... Anyway, Shicago has adopted the 19% "tourism" tax that  applies to hotels of 100 or more rooms "who AGREE TO OPT IN"! What hotel would VOLUNTARILY subject its customers to such add-on tax of 19%! I want names of the hotels chains that AGREE to this so I won't use them anywhere!

The news tells us the body of the University of Alabama student who was missing has been recovered.. They found his wallet floating in a bay… then they recovered his body, but they haven’t revealed his cause of death… Well, since we know he was mugged and robbed, we can assume he died violently…Maybe a couple of not-needed-in-Iran bombs dropped in Barcelona might send Spain a message!.. Nah… just write Spain off for a future visit..

---
Online headline: "Pence backs Trump’s Iran strikes, says president ‘ignored’ GOP isolationists" --  Hmmmm.....

TrumpRX.. notice even the DemoKrats & MSM… nor even Rand Paul… aren't beating him up on this....but  they aren't crediting him with a GOOD THING  nor  praising him, either ..

---
Online headline: " The 'Today' co-anchor mother, 84, is still missing more than six weeks after her Tucson, Ariz., abduction." – They have tried their best not to go near calling the guy an illegal alien.. but ...facts never go away… no matter how hard Dem try…

---
Online headline: “Georgia Sen. Ossoff And Gabbard Clash Over Iran Threat As Intel Chief Defers To Trump” --  Did you know that Tulsi Gabbard was an ex-Democrat Representative… until she saw “the light”? Did you know that Jon Ossoff was once the assistant to Hank Johnson… you know, our GA District 4 DemoKrat Representative! Good grief! I think this means the assistant to a Representative who feels islands can tip over is our Senator, and the world knows he’s representing US!  We ‘ve got a lotta work to do between now and General Election day to correct this monstrous mistake!

---
WTVM-TV9 online headline: "Feeding the Valley facing critical food shortage" -- Hmmm....Maybe they should sell off that new oversized warehouse and buy food to distribute...

In a release issued on Wednesday, the housing authority said Johnson has extensive knowledge in housing administration, community development and strategic leadership." – I like seeing confident promotions from within, but am concerned with how the wording is.. There’s no mention of who the prior CEO was or why there is a vacancy…and I haven’t found the all the answers online or on the CHA website…

Online story: “A 2025 study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform estimated that education costs for illegal immigrants total $5.7 billion nationally, the largest portion of the fiscal impact on state and local budgets. * “Postsecondary education programs funded by the federal government should benefit American citizens, not illegal aliens,”  said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “Under President Trump's leadership, hardworking American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill for illegal aliens to participate in our career, technical, or adult education programs or activities." --  This is why DemoKrats do not want to cut your taxes... they feel it's their money to buy votes so they can get re-elected to tax us more next time... 

---
Online headline: "Almost 200 House Dems vote against deporting people who commit welfare fraud" -- Seriously... Why would DemoKrats want to keep fraud recipients from being deported? To them, every illegal vote might win a race...

---
DemoKrats are upset that ICE Agents could be sent to some voting precincts during elections.... Ask yourself... Why would DemoKrats be upset at that.. unless... unless they know DemoKrats won't win a lot of races unless they have illegal votes.

---
Hmmm...If the DemoKrats are concerned about stricter adherence of rules by ICE, then wouldn't it be fairer if DemoKrats also enforced stricter adherence of rules by local law enforcement and court systems... and for good measure, DemoKrats should pledge to follow all the rules of for Congresspersons as well... especially the ones concerning Congresspersons' morals.

---
DemoKrats argue that illegal voting is "SO RARE" there's no real reason to be concerned... hmm.. that sorta sounds suspect when you think about it.. if illegal voting is so rare, then why should they even be  concerned at passing a law that puts it in writing?

---
Online headline: "Longtime Columbus journalist Billy Winn passes away" -- What an asset to Columbus GA and its history...enjoyed numerous conversations with him about early Columbus GA families.

Hmmm....We know the GA DOT refers to the rebuild of the Bradley Park interchange in Columbus, GA  as a "Double Diamond"  but, it seems more like what they have given us is a "Double CROSS".. the other day I almost got  "doubled" T-boned by cars at both traffic-light areas.

---
Online headline: ""We're making people hurt": Democrats adopt new tactic to win DHS shutdown fight" --  DemoKrats are saying ICE is "terrorizing people"... Hmmm?.. well, what a difference ...in omiting a important word in a statement makes . The DemoKrats leave out an important aspect... whether the "word"  is "criminal", or "lawbreaking" or even "undocumented" or "illegal" people, such people have no right to be on our streets.

---
Online headline: ""We're making people hurt": Democrats adopt new tactic to win DHS shutdown fight" --  "making people hurt?" Yes.. but it's DemoKrats  hurting American citizens working in the Coast Guard, the TSA, and FEMA!  But the DemoKrats are saying ICE is "terrorizing people"... Hmmm?.. well, what a difference ...in omiting a important word in a statement makes . The DemoKrats leave out an important aspect... whether the "word"  is "criminal", or "lawbreaking" or even "undocumented" or "illegal" people, such people have no right to be on our streets.

Online headline: "Former MSNBC Host Joy Reid Faces Outrage After Claiming America Is Only “Marginally Better” Than Iran on Women’s Rights" --  Hmmm....Joy Reid..."known for her sharp takes on politics" argued on a podcast, "the United States treats women only marginally better than Iran does".  Hmmm... so this woman freely said this in a media broadcast which she would not even allowed to make in Iran, and if she had even got access to microphone in Iran, would be either incarcerated or incinerated by now.

Courier ECO Latino Publisher Wane Hailes is flapping his jaws again… This time he starts with, “If you listen closely to the conversations happening in Black political spaces right now the critique, when the topic turns to younger Black leaders stepping forward to run for office is too familiar. They’re impatient. They haven’t paid their dues. They don’t understand the struggle like the Civil Rights generation did.” – You know.. the issue here is the Civil Rights generation leaders never have admitted how far and how much “things” have changed.. Sorrowfully,  it’s been intentional… we’ve heard their message,  but none  stood.. nor stand .. forward with pride of what they’ve accomplished since the 1950s & 60s. They’ve wanted .. and worked hard.. to keep every one focused looking back rather than looking forward…it’s been about keeping their relevance rather than blazing a new and better path for all.

Happy St. Patrick’s  Day!

 

From the "sneaky word" deparment - Online headline/story: "Inside Pratt & Whitney's Columbus expansion agreement: bonds, jobs and what's required * According to the documents, the development authority agreed to issue bonds, or loans, at a lower interest rate to finance the Pratt & Whitney expansion. The development authority has issued $200,500,000 in bonds. *  The bonds being offered are industrial revenue bonds, which are typically issued by a government entity to help provide capital to private businesses to stimulate economic development. Individual taxpayers are not responsible for the repayment of these bonds.” -- Hmmmm...so "Individual taxpayers are not responsible for the repayment of these bonds.". Hmmm...key words, "individual taxpayers"...but since government has zero dollars of its own, taxpayers ARE responsible as a whole..

If the 6 who have left would have generated $27 Billion in taxes for California, that means, on average, that those 6 have gained $4.75 Billion EACH  to spend on relocation costs and purchases in the States they choose to go to... California's Governor and Legislature are just stupid. Oh! And don't forget, that's $4.75 Billion EACH annually, to spend freely in their new states that woulda gone in the California toilet..

"Sit Down!... or "Go Home!". Here’s a picture of Paul Pelosi walking a red carpet at the 2008 First Ladies Congressional Wives Walk in Washington. You can CLEARLY  see why she doesn’t want him on a Red Carpet…

Online headline: "Sen. John Fetterman schools fellow Dems on Iran with Kamala Harris reminder: ‘Why can’t we support that?" --  Sadly, Fetterman's "career" is not dependent on his General Election popularity, but on whether the DemoKrats "take him out" in his next primary election.

On the other hand, when she played any sports events with only girls, she was a captain/'picker' or #1 draftee.

---
Online headline: "Two arrested after Columbus GA police seize drugs, stolen firearms during search warrant" --  Let's hope Columbus GA has a better accountability system in place than what it had when Willie Demos was in charge of handling such moneys...

The refusal is part of the American government's unanimous, bipartisan protest of the agency's handling of a case involving Chinese swimmers and other issues.” – And don’t forget the she-male boxers! I HOPE… PRAY…that  Trump  throws  down the gauntlet on WADA’s bluff!

This should be it... this week should bring my blog views to over 500,000 people world wide...Thanks!
